The teenaged boy with curly brown hair began rummaging through the pantry. He went through the different kinds of spices, sauces, and herbs in their collection, sniffing them to see which ingredient perfectly aligned with his ideas.
Eventually, he found what he was looking for and he began his work.
He sat down next to his wok with a new raw chicken. Then, without any kind of asuring instrunts, Remy began to throw his chosen spices and herb blends into the wok, creating a new recipe that seeped deep into the chicken's skin.
Michael watched all of this in complete silence. He didn't want to interrupt Remy's breakthrough.
However, he did use his Drone to see through Remy's new Maugnetic heart. Spools of Aubility Power began to inch out of his chest, slowly weaving itself into reality and into the wok in front of him.
As he continued to follow his new recipe, the Aubility Power threads continued to grow.
Not only that, but swirling, golden lights began to gather above his head, slowly molding and nding to create a new image made entirely out of Aubility Power.
His Diva was forming!
Just a few seconds after becoming a Maugnetic, Remy was awakening his true power!
Eventually, Remy breathed a sigh of relief.
He took the newly coated chicken with both of his hands and looked over it with awe and amazent.
Now, there was just one thing left for him to do. Add the Dragon's Whiskers.
This was the most crucial part. He took the crushed red powder in their vault and began seasoning the chicken.
Remy hoped the chicken wouldn't explode. That's what happened with every other recipe he tried.
Red, glittery powder cascaded into the chicken, adding that signature color onto the white coating.
And a few seconds later… the glittery gleam was slowly infused onto the chicken skin, turning into a liquid consistency and texture.
Remy held his breath.
"It… it worked," he said.
"It worked?"
"IT WORKED!"
This was an entirely new recipe of McTony's chicken that looked stable!
Unable to hide his excitent, Remy burst out of the pantry and back into the kitchen. He scanned the room. Every single stove was occupied with a busy chef holding two woks in their hands.
"Please let borrow this!" he quickly said to another chef, almost making the guy curse.
"Hey!"
But after seeing the look on Remy's face and the red, gleaming chicken in his hands, the chef quickly understood what was happening.
"Did you figure it out?!"
Remy didn't answer. Instead, he dropped the coated whole chicken onto the wok, imdiately making the oil burst into applause.
It was cooking! It was like a symphony of crackling fireworks, with each pop creating a myriad of delectable scents that surprised each of the chefs working in the kitchen.
At this point, the commotion finally made them notice what was happening.
And despite the hectic orders they had to fulfill, they stopped and looked over their junior chef.
Michael was among those who were stuck into this viewing trance, unable to look away.
But instead of the actual cooking, he was more interested in what was happening in the Aubility Power spectrum.
Remy's threads were subconsciously weaving itself onto the chicken, the work, and even the fire itself.
He was taking control of every single parater of the cooking process!
Above Remy's head, the figure of a humanoid, buddha-like character was slowly starting to beco less and less vague.
He was wearing a chef's outfit, with a tall white hat that looked pristine and godly. The man's stomach bulged healthily and gave off the presence of soone who loved food very much.
And this Diva seed to love whatever Remy was cooking at this mont.
Eventually, the chicken finally reached its optimal temperature. The skin looked perfectly crispy, with its red gleam making the chicken look like it was enveloped in a planet of ruby crystals.
Everyone held their breaths. It was the mont of truth.
Remy took the chicken out of the oil and let it rest onto a plate.
He gulped, waiting for the chicken to settle.
Then, he took a knife and cut into the chicken. The skin crackled as the knife carved through the chicken's thighs, separating its legs from its body.
Then, they saw its white, juicy at, perfectly contrasting the red and exotic skin.
Just from one look, all the chefs knew that the chicken was perfectly made.
"This…"
One of the chefs struggled to find the words.
But Michael knew. It was perfection.
"This chicken cannot be tainted," Remy said. "It can be frozen, it can be burned… but it can never lose its original taste."
At the mont of its creation, Remy felt a huge weight release from his shoulders. The obese Diva above his head finally beca realized, centing his ascent into the 1st stage of the Body Formation realm.
He had beco a chef Maugnetic!

[Aubility Power: Immortalized Cooking]
[Any food or substance that the user creates will have its characteristics never lose its efficacy, no matter how much ti has passed. It will be invulnerable to any physical effects such as rotting, degradation, and breakdown.]
Michael was surprised to see such a powerful Aubility Power. Anything Remy cooked can't be destroyed. It was immortalized, up until the mont soone consud it, thereby preserving the integrity of his original intention with the food.
If Michael's interpretation was correct, then this was perhaps the most overpowered Aubility he had seen from a non-combat Maugnetic.
With Remy taking control of the McTony fried chicken production, they'd finally be able to mass produce their food all over the Lower Queens region!
And the best part was that they wouldn't need refrigerators or reheaters.
The chickens that Remy made, would remain at the perfect crispiness, juiciness, and temperature that he intended.
Finally, they could deliver McTony's to any part of the Royal Continent without worrying about the quality. A real fast-food restaurant!
