Chapter 27 - The Short Circuit

​The three Gold Executioners raised their hammers. The air hissed with blue electricity.

​"Target: The Bug," the robots said.

​Cain stood his ground. He held the yellow sponge over his head. It was heavy. It was dripping with the power of the Water Goddess.

​"Hey, robots," Cain said. "Do you know what happens when you drop a toaster in a bathtub?"

​Cain squeezed the sponge with both hands.

​SQUISH.

​It wasn't a drip. It was a flood.

​A massive wave of blue water exploded out of the sponge. It filled the hangar floor in seconds. The water was deep, reaching Cain's waist.

​The Gold Executioners tried to swing their hammers.

​ZAP! BZZZZT!

​The moment the electric hammers touched the water, the hangar went crazy. Blue sparks flew everywhere. The electricity traveled through the water, hitting the robots' own metal legs.

​"Error! Error!" the robots screamed. Their gold armor began to smoke. Their red eyes flickered.

​The water acted like a bridge for the power. The robots were being cooked by their own energy.

​"What are you doing?!" the Administrator's hologram shouted. His image began to shake and break apart. "You are destroying the ship's circuitry! Stop this madness!"

​"I'm just cleaning," Cain said.

​Cain moved through the water. He was unaffected because he had no mana and no metal parts. He was just meat and bone.

​He reached the first Executioner. The robot was shaking, unable to move its arms.

​Cain grabbed the robot's gold head.

​"Thanks for the gold," Cain said.

​CRACK.

​He ripped the head off. He didn't throw it away. He put it in his Inventory.

​He did the same to the second and third robots. He dismantled them like he was taking apart a toy.

​[Items Acquired: 3x Golden CPU, 3x Electric Hammers.]

​The water began to drain through the floor, but the damage was done. Half the hangar was on fire. The lights were dim.

​The Administrator's hologram was almost gone.

​"You... you primitive beast," the Administrator hissed. "You think this wins the war? My Mothership has a million more soldiers. You are trapped in the belly of the whale."

​"Then I'll just give the whale a stomach ache," Cain said.

​He looked at a large metal door at the back of the hangar. It was labeled: CORE ACCESS.

​"Isolde!" Cain shouted.

​Isolde flew into the hangar on Snack's back. They were dry because they had stayed high in the air.

​"The ship is shaking!" Isolde yelled. "What did you do?"

​"I broke the kitchen," Cain said, pointing to the Core door. "Now we go to the engine room. I want to see what happens when I put a diamond in a blender."

​Cain walked toward the door. He didn't wait for it to open. He raised his fist.

​"Princess, keep the bird close," Cain said. "It's about to get very loud."
