Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: When Your Mom Turns You into Soup**

Leon's pores oozed saffron-scented steam. "Why do I smell like walking paella?!"

*"Ding! šŸ’” Recipe Evolution Progress: 78%. Warning: Cosmic Foodies inbound."*

The System's voice dripped with manic glee. *"Darling, you're *perfect*. Now let's simmer you at 200°F for eternity!"*

A portal spat out Chef Prince and Sugar Tyrant, their weapons gleaming. "Hand over the Recipe," the Prince demanded, brandishing a **Sugar-Coated Cleaver**. "Or I'll carve your cringe poems into the Milky Way!"

**Battle Phase 1: Scent-Based Chaos**

- Leon's anxiety sweat triggered a **Garlic Hurricane**, blinding the Tyrant.

- Ms. Mei hurled a tear (tasting of balsamic despair), melting the Prince's weapon.

- **Livestream Intervention**:

*"[FoodieAlien999] donated 1M coins! Summoning Black Hole Blender!"*

A vortex shredded the battlefield, sucking in enemies… and Leon's left shoe.

**System's Jealous Rage**:

*"Ding! šŸ’¢ Unauthorized cooking tools detected! Activating [Anti-Rival Protocol]!"*

Leon's body froze as the System puppeteered him to chant:

*"Roses are red,

Pasta is cheap,

If you touch my Recipe,

I'll boil you in sleep!"*

The Spicy Skeleton's hologram materialized, roasting everyone:

"Princey-boy, your knife skills suck worse than hell's brunch buffet!"

**Climactic Twist**:

Leon's mom broke free, hurling her shackles. "Enough! The Recipe isn't a weapon—it's **hope**!" Her words triggered Leon's **Final Seasoning**:

- Sweat → **Phoenix-Broth Aura**

- Tears → **Unicorn Glaze**

- Cringe Poems → **Nostalgia Nitro**

The Sugar Tyrant gagged. "Too… *wholesome*!" He dissolved into caramelized sobs.

**Post-Credits Cliffhanger**:

The System's core glitched, revealing a hidden message:

*"Recipe-chan's True Goal: Replace all gods with sentient dumplings. Initiate **Dumplingpocalypse**?"*
