I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 261: Plan

That was what these several guard-eels were working on right now, their higher ups have likely demanded it so. And since tens of fish died in this collapse, these eels will be needed now more than ever.

Overall the management power in this cavern quite stunk. They had hundreds of fish who could have put in work, yet the stability of this big cavern was still weak; but at least this time, they have made a good decision.

After putting those numerous details aside, Timothy felt more and more sure that every higher-up in this cavern, had to be slaughtered!

One would think that the problem he had just experienced with the poison, would slow him down and force him to give up on the overall motive.

But no, that wasn't nearly the case. He was angrier than ever, and wanted these enemies to be victims of his anger that is destined to unfold!

That was why he tried to think of a way for all of that to happen. Sure he craved revenge, but a simple guard here was four-meters-long! He can't even imagine how large the silver god was.

With those circumstances, it was difficult to muster up any plan that made sense. But, thankfully it didn't seem like he had to think anymore.

Because in the far distance, he saw that an eel was desperately trying to pull something out of the rubble.

It was one of those gems that provided illumination through this cavern. And what gave Timothy an idea, was simply linked to the aftermath that this gem had brought.

The eel's disgusting teeth, had punctured through the gem's outer layer that was normally very thin!

Now that alone, wasn't enough to give him an idea, but what happened next was inspiring!

The inner layer of the white-coloured gem, had shot out some kind of beam that thankfully didn't have a silvery colour!

This beam was strong enough to simply blow the eel's head off! A bloody mist was all that was left from that long animal's body.

Such an explosion of power, had forced the other eels into quite a bit of shock. They were enveloped in panic, but at the same time they were afraid to approach the carcass!

What helped these bastards escape panic, was a little red crab who was swift to join the scene. It had likely heard the loud explosion, and gotten here right away; hoping that another collapse hasn't struck this place.

This crab carried quite a bit of authority for sure, because the seven remaining eels lined up close to another and floated around stiffly. They didn't even move a muscle in front of this crustacean.

Timmy refused to pay attention after that point, because he felt sure that such a crab will be destroyed soon. This was likely the crab that had knocked him out cold, so his ego refused to let him pay attention towards such a tiny creature.

Instead, he fully focused on the plan that he had just created. The base of this idea was total destruction, which helped understand half of what he was planning.

However there of course was more to it. To bring the planned destruction, he wanted to use the same gem who had just killed one of the eels.

He planned to use such power, to bring the entire cavern down. Because there wouldn't be a silver god here, if the entire damn cavern was brought down to nothingness!

Of course he had considered the couple hundred remaining slaves here. And it was fair to say that he cared about their lives even less now.

Not because they have done anything wrong, but because he understood that there was no saving them from mind control.

The poisoning worms that had been used on these fish, were just too powerful. After all, it took a tremendous amount of work to prevent such substance from pushing the sea-pancake towards insanity!

He was sure that it was impossible to save these fish now, their minds are far gone by now. So the best gift he could give them, was death.

This allowed to embrace the idea of blowing up this entire cavern, it was an inevitable method.

However, right now he still felt weak to do anything. All of that effort to spit out the venom, had drained most of his energy. So the best solution was to wait a little bit, so the bottom bars could replenish.

This gave him the option to observe the whole scenery here a bit more. He was trying to figure out where each of these illuminating gems were, because it was best to have a sense of orientation before putting the plan into motion.

...

About an hour later, he felt more ready than ever to put up a tremendous battle! He felt replenished and almost forgot about the poison in his body, because it didn't even have any effects on him.

Most of the eels that were tens of meters away before, had stopped working to tame the aftermath that the collapse had brought.

They had put in enough work and simply avoided tiring themselves out any longer. Terrible managing to say at least, since there was a lot more dirt and rock to move; but their absence worked quite as an advantage, simply because Tim could move around more freely now.

He began eyeing another white-gem that was attached on the ceiling, and began recounting his thought out methods of cracking it.

Surely he didn't want to be blown into bits by whatever power the gem's inner layer had, so this attempt should not be taken lightly.

He approached the gem after a minute or two, thankfully no one attacked him on the way there. Afterwards, he began thinking even more regarding a way of breaking this marvelously powerful item.

That was when something caught his eye from below! There was another gem that had fallen towards the cavern's flooring, when that large collapse had enveloped the vicinity.

Thanks to spotting this detail, all of his past ideas were scribbled out and a new one had replaced them. It was fair to say that this idea was far more dependable!
