SPLASH!
Supreme Elder Jin Bao hit the center of Supernova Mineral Pool #88 in his fluffy pink ducky bathrobe, sending a fountain of warm, golden-tinted mineral water six feet into the air.
Around the edges of the huge marble pool, thirty actual elderly retirees from System #75—who were lazily soaking up to their chins with wet towels folded on their heads—turned and clapped politely.
“Look at how energetic that new old brother is! Doing a cannonball jump at his age!” “The Greeter Golems here really give first-class service! Look, they even tied his towel into cute little sheep-horns for him!”
Three feet under the warm golden water, Jin Bao popped back up to the surface, spitting out a mouthful of sweet, mineral-rich spring water. His pink towel-horns flopped slightly over his fiery white eyebrows, and two little embroidered yellow ducks floated on the collar of his soaked bathrobe.
For two full seconds, the terrifying “Sun-Bomber” of the Golden-Crow Clan trembled so hard that ripples spread across the entire pool.
“I... I am Supreme Elder Jin Bao!” he roared inside his mind, his yellow eyes bulging with murderous fury. “For five thousand years, Star-Lords have bowed at the sound of my name! Today I was stripped by wooden waiters, dressed in pink ducks, and thrown into a public pond with a bunch of toothless farmers! I don’t care about stealth anymore—SUN-SHATTERING DEMON ART, ERUPT!”
