Chapter 17, Page 26: Massive Power Surge (Patreon)

Countess Influencia’s follower count has blown past half a million — and somehow, that still isn’t enough.

Unfortunately, all of that raw emotional energy has consequences back at Evil Inc.

Dr. Muskiday was this close to finding a way to defeat the macronanos when they suddenly got hit with a massive power surge. Now he has to redouble his efforts… and he has no idea where all that extra emotional energy could possibly be coming from.
