Mutants

"There has not been any reason for this on Beastilia; however, it has been believed that every child who does not awaken the family ability is special."

"For example, from what I know, there is a family of flame cockroaches on Beastilia, and there was a mutant born in that family."

"By default, the entire family had orange flames since birth, and the flames they bore never changed."

"However, the mutant in their family awakened the ability of Ice."

"It was an ability polar opposite of their clan's default power."

"At first glance, he seemed to be just a failure."

"An Ice ability user in a family of flame ability users"

"However, its family did not think of him as useless."

"They firmly believed that their mutant would not be a waste and thus spent a lot of time training him"

"That little cockroach also trained hard, and one day, he awakened his family's ability."

"This change was something no one had expected."

"Fire and Ice power both at once"

"This is an almost impossible ability to control."

"However, it seemed that the little guy's training came in handy."

"He suppressed his ice ability that he had been able to control and merged it into his fire ability."

"This action of his awakened his real ability, The Ice Flame."

"This is not the first time that the Ice Flame appeared in Beastilia."

"It was said that the Ice Flame has appeared many times, and almost everyone knows its ability."

"And this was also the reason why the Flame Cockroach clan was almost exterminated."

Kartik: [What the f…!]

[How the hell did he turn that story around so suddenly]

[That's beyond the category of plot twists]

[He was about to tell us how great the Ice Flame is, and then he suddenly stops and says that the Flame Cockroach clan was almost exterminated]

[And first of all, why the hell are cockroaches so capable]

[These guys can't even stand back up if someone turns them upside down, and now they even release flames]

[Moreover, even a mutant is born]

[What the hell is going on]

While he was thinking all this, the expression on Kartik's face was getting weirder.

He seemed to be listening seriously; however, he was also thinking about something weird.

The fleet commander happened to look at Kartik's face and understood what he might be thinking.

Their fleet had remained in Beastilia for many days, which had led to many conversations relating to the residents of Beastilia that did crop up.

There was not a shortage of weird topics in them.

So, he did not take it to heart and continued.

"The Ice Flame might not sound strong or incredible, but it is one of the strongest abilities to ever appear in the Flame Cockroach Family."

"This ability mixes the properties of both flame and ice."

"It can burn like fire and freeze like ice."

"However it does not happen in a conventional way."

"The Ice Flame looks like flames of ice."

"The transparent form of ordinary ice coupled with the flames of fire, it burns to give an icy effect."

"Any object contaminated by the Ice Flame will burn and freeze at the same time."

"It's temperature increases and decreases at the same time."

"As time passes, the extremes of both the temperatures will get far from each other, resulting in a reaction."

"Rest of it is science as we know it"

"Due to the rapid and uninterrupted changes in temperature, the object that is burning will destroy itself."

As he said this, all the people understood the ability and the danger of The Ice Flame.

Kartik: "But what if we extinguish the flame before it is strong."

As everyone was thinking about the dangers and effects of the Ice Flame, they heard Kartik offering his opinion.

And listening to it, they felt the feasibility of the idea.

They talked among themselves.

"He is right."

"If we can extinguish the flame before the temperature grows further, wouldn't the danger of the Ice Flame be gone"

Many people express their agreement with this idea.

However, at the same time, there were people who disagreed.

These people countered by saying, "If it were that easy to tackle the Ice Flame, it wouldn't have led to a crusade against the flame cockroaches."

"The Ice Flame will need something better than that to defeat it."

The fleet commander did not interrupt these people as he was not capable of that.

However, Kartik called him out.

Kartik: "Gentlemen, let's invite the fleet commander to participate as he might have some information about this from Beastilia."
