Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: When Cotton Candy Meets Nuclear Chili**

The Cotton Candy Nebula smelled like a diabetic nightmare. Leon floated through pink marshmallow clouds, his boots sticking to caramel rivers. The System blared:

*"Ding! Sweetness Overload Detected. Activating [Anti-Sugar Protocol].

Quest: Neutralize the Sugar Tyrant with spice.

Reward: [Pancreas of Steel]. Penalty: Your tongue becomes a lollipop."*

"This place makes me miss hell," Ignisia muttered, her dragon scales coated in rainbow sprinkles.

A throne of rock candy loomed ahead. The **Sugar Tyrant**—a towering figure with licorice armor—pointed his **Diabetes Saber**. "You dare bring **spice** to my kingdom?!"

Leon pulled out a **Hellfire Jalapeño**. "Your brother sent me. He says your cake sucked."

The Tyrant's eyes glowed crimson. "THAT'S WHY HE STOLE MY BIRTHDAY CUPCAKE?!"

**Battle Phase 1: Sugar Tsunami**

- The Tyrant swung his saber, unleashing a wave of molten caramel.

- Leon countered with **Nuclear Chili Oil**, turning the caramel into a smoking crater.

**Live Chat Madness**:

**[CandyCrushHater]**: "Burn his candy ass!"

**[SweetTooth4Life]**: "#JusticeForSugarTyrant!"

**Battle Phase 2: Lollipop Prison**

- The Tyrant trapped Leon in a giant lollipop. "Now you'll taste eternal sweetness!"

- Leon bit into the candy, triggering his **Cringe Poem Trap**:

*"Your frosting shines bright,

But my chili will end this fight—

*DIE, SUGAR KNIGHT!*"*

The poem's raw awkwardness shattered the lollipop.

**VIP Twist**:

As the Tyrant collapsed, his helmet cracked open—revealing a face identical to the Chef Prince's. "Mom… chose **him** over me… over a *cupcake*…"

*"Ding! Recipe Fragment Acquired: Mom's Last Dish – 'Bitter Escape'. Location: Black Hole of Bitterness."*

Ignisia snorted. "Of course. Family drama always tastes like expired milk."

The System flashed:

*"Next Target: Black Hole of Bitterness. Warning: Contains 99% existential dread and 1% decaf coffee."*
