Chapter 340: Eternal Flame

[Do you want to extract it?]

[Y/N]

Olivia stood beside Tesla with a towel wrapped around her body. She was holding his arm with a smile on her face. ℯ

"Do whatever you want to do. Then Ohara is no more, and none would be able to return to the island anymore."

Tesla nodded and replied, "But what I am going to do might destroy this item that you guys have been protecting."

Olivia smiled dejectedly. Her shoulders were down in defeat, and she sighed and said, "What’s there to protect? If it wasn’t because of you, then the island and the inhabitants, all of us, would have been dead."

Olivia hugged Tesla and said, "Besides, I stopped living for others a long time ago. The only people who matter to me now are you and Robin. Just give me a few grandchildren to play with."

She laughed, saying that. Tesla smiled and hugged her. He kissed her and said, "Why? Don’t you want a few of your own?"

Olivia nodded and replied, "Of course I do. But the way I am and my body is, I don’t know now if I can get pregnant."

Tesla squeezed her butt and said, "Don’t worry, mom, you can. You need to know a few things about your son."

Tesla then told her about his ability to keep his partner, whom he likes, forever, and they would live with him as long as he lives and how he was a long-long-life being and a few more things.

The more Olivia heard him, the more shocked and confused she became. She had no idea that such a thing existed. And here she was, one of the top scholars of Ohara.

She understood that her son was not telling her everything. She understood that some things are better left in mystery. She didn’t get angry that he was hiding from her. She wasn’t sad either.

She knew that if he was not telling, then it was for her own good. And she will wait, wait for her son to tell her whenever he thinks he is ready.

Olivia kissed Tesla and said, "So, Robin and I are Immortal?"

Tesla nodded and said, "As long as you don’t kill yourself or are killed by others or some natural disasters, you are basically Immortal."

Olivia giggled and said, "Will you even like me after a hundred or thousand years?"

Tesla laughed and replied, "Mom, women are like wine. The older they get, the better they taste."

Olivia laughed and said, "I didn’t know you like wine so much."

Tesla smiled and replied, "I can’t have enough of it."

[Sora, do you want to extract the source of energy?]

Suddenly, Tesla heard Yuki’s teasing yet annoyed voice. He paused and then laughed.

He then said to Olivia, "Mom, the thing over there is called the eternal flame."

Olivia was confused by the term. She then looked at the source of the conversation and then looked at Tesla to hear his explanation.

Tesla walked towards the Eternal Flame and continued, "You know about the ancient weapons, right?"

Olivia nodded seriously. She knew it was a taboo topic. Even mentioning such things was a crime.

Tesla continued, "You know Pluto, right? The ship that can destroy an island with just a shot?"

"I have read a few texts about it. But it wasn’t in detail. Besides, there is not much information on them. It’s only been passed down through the mouth, as no one dares to keep information on them."

Olivia thought and replied.

Tesla grinned and said, "There is detailed information on them written on ponegliph." He then turned to the Eternal Flame and said, "And this here is the power source that runs Pluto, and it’s inexhaustible. That’s why it is called Eternal Flame, the Flame that never dies."

"What?" Olivia screamed in astonishment. Suddenly she looked at the Flame with surprise, curiosity, yet also fear.

"Does the WG know about its existence here? No, they shouldn’t. If they did, then they would have already attacked the island long ago for this." Olivia suddenly felt cold thinking they had been sitting on a land mine without knowing all these years.

Tesla smiled and replied, "Mom, don’t worry. I am strong."

Olivia looked at her son, but she wasn’t calming down at all. Yeah, her son was strong, but how strong can he be? Can he fight the Marine Admiral? Can they fight the Marine headquarters? Can he fight against the WG that has been ruling the world for 800 years? Can he go against the world?

Tesla looked at Olivia and sighed. He shook his head and decided not to argue or elaborate on things to her.

There is no need. If everything goes well, then he might directly evolve to the Divine realm. At that time, Imu or whatever, he could just swap him like a fly.

Tesla stood in front of the Eternal Flame and touched it directly with his hand.

"Don’t, whoever touched it burned to death," Olivia screamed and ran towards Tesla.

But then she stopped and looked at her son in astonishment. She was shocked and bewildered.

"How?"

Tesla looked at his mother over his shoulder and said: "Just believe in me."

[Yuki, Extract the Source Energy]

[Source Energy is being Extracted]

Suddenly, the Eternal disappeared from Tesla’s hand. Olivia was surprised as the secret cave got darker as it lost the source of its light.

Suddenly, the ground started to shake as if the place would be destroyed in the next second.

Tesla instantly teleported to Olivia and grabbed her shoulder, then teleported out of the cave directly to their house in Cocoyasi village.

[Source of Energy extraction successful]

[Source of energy is being degenerate]

[Degenerate successful]

[Eternal Flame is Merging with Host]

[The host will be sent back to the original world in 10 seconds.]

Tesla couldn’t even get time to listen to the explanation when he heard the last notification.

He looked at Olivia and said, "Mom, relax. We are safe.]

As he said that, Time stopped for Olivia and also for the whole world. Tesla was surprised to see time being paused, as it was his first time noticing it.

But before he could think more, his consciousness left Tesla’s body and returned to his original body.
