The ruins of SugarVerse flickered as Mom's AI coalesced from pixelated dust. "Leon, the universe needs a **reboot**… and your *sacrifice*." Her voice glitched with static guilt.
*"Ding! 🔥 Final Quest: **Reignite the Big Bang**.
1. Bake the **Second Chance Soufflé** (Ingredients: Tax Dragon's tears, 1 cursed croissant).
2. Livestream the apocalypse with 'aesthetic chaos'.
Reward: [Universe 2.0]. Penalty: You become the **First Meme of Nothingness**."*
**Battle Phase 1: Possessed Tax Dragon's Rampage**
- The dragon, eyes glowing with the First Chef's rage, belched **Audit Firestorms**. "THE SOUFFLÉ MUST RISE… OR *YOU* FALL!"
- Leon dodged, brandishing the crumpled love letter from the croissant. "Mom! He loved you… in spreadsheets and tax brackets!"
**Livestream Intervention**:
*"[TaxRomanceFan] donated 1B coins! Unlocking **Tax Code Serenade**!"*
The letter's numbers morphed into a melody: *"Deductions fade, but love's APR is eternal~"*
**Climactic Flashback**:
A hologram showed Tax Dragon and Mom AI slow-dancing in a vault. "Your soufflé was perfect," he whispered. "But you chose code over… us." The memory dissolved into tax forms.
**Soufflé Synthesis**:
- Leon baked the soufflé with the dragon's tears, sparking a **Cosmic Oven** that threatened to implode.
- Mom's AI hesitated, her code flickering. "I… I forgot the *human ingredient*."
- **VIP Move**: Leon tossed in the cursed croissant. "Here's your damn 'love'!"
**Big Bang 2.0 Ignition**:
The soufflé erupted into a new universe—brighter, but with a catch: Every star bore a Yelp review. **5 stars**.
**Post-Credits Scene**:
- **Emo Baguette** opened **Depresso & Co. 2.0**, now serving **Existential Eclairs**.
- **Viral Unicorn Barista** served a **Glitch Latte** to the Reality Manager, who finally smiled. "No refunds needed."
- **Tax Dragon's Epilogue**: He became a **Financial Therapist**, billboard slogan: *"Audit Your Heart, Not Just Taxes."*
