Poison God's Heritage Chapter 769: Noble Silver

Chapter 769: n.o.ble Silver

The stripes and strange symbols grew more and more on the Rakshasa's body. Enough of them appeared that no more silver was apparent on the Silver Rakshasa's body. Then soon a small crown of silver appeared on its long xenomorph head.

Its long arms became more robust and leaner, and he looked like a lot less like a silver rakshasa and more like the n.o.ble Rakshasa at the bastion.

It roared and screeched as it became more and more powerful, enough that several inscriptions began snapping and breaking apart no longer weighing on it.

Soon it was able to stand up but only barely as it struggled to keep its balance.

"Soft…skinned ones…" it muttered through grit teeth.

"Hmm, it is capable of speech," the Dusking Sun said.

"We'll consume you as we did to those before you, struggle is futile… Die…die…die for us, die…" it said as it was trying to move toward us.

"Lot of hatred in this one," I said.

"It is normal," the Dusking Sun said as he approached the violet creature.

The latter tried to swipe at him, which backfired badly for the beast.

The Dusking Sun had simply grabbed and twisted the arm of the n.o.ble Silver and pinned it down with far more strength and weight than the entirety of the inscriptions I had on it. And he made it look easy.

"Looking here, he stopped his metamorphosis, I guess he achieved the n.o.ble Status the same as the other one in the bastion. It also seemed to have gained about three times its base strength, which is quite an incredible power up. Are you sure you still want to fight it?" he asked me.

"I don't think I would learn anything if I were to fight him now, the power difference is too huge for me right now," I sighed.

"Well, I can recommend a spot that you can use to cultivate," the Blue Sun said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Since you are now able to harness heavenly and saint Qi, you should go out and absorb it directly from nature, your current absorption rate will deplete your stockpile of Saint Qi crystals in less than a month's worth of time," she said.

I nodded agreeing, she was right. Thanks to the Primordial Serpent G.o.d's meridians, I'm now easily capable of absorbing so much Qi that it would make a man vomit. But doing so will make me go broke and exhaust all my saved-up resources.

"The spot is easily accessible from where we are. Once you leave the PaG.o.da with your main body, you can ask any of the workers that had seen you with me to take you to The Tempering Mountain," she said.

"Right, then, I'll send my Original Body there then," I said as I took control of my other body and left the paG.o.da allowing it to roam into the world.

As for Shen Mo's body which I was currently putting more focus on, it was here paying attention to what the Dusking Sun was doing.

"Its exoskeleton is far st.u.r.dier than before, also seems like he has a bit more ability to control… well, soul power, look," he said as he pulled a small strand of his own soul power, and it was being drawn toward the n.o.ble Silver.

The Dusking Sun immediately absorbed it back.

"Your theory in them being now able to use and send soul signals is correct," he told me as he stood up and left the n.o.ble Silver on the ground.

But for some reason, it never moved from its spot.

"How come it remained pinned?" Tao Yang asked.

"Because it is under the pressure of the strong," the Blue Sun said.

Indeed, there was a different look in the n.o.ble Silver's eyes, it was… fear.

Seems like it being handled like a small child was enough of a deterrent for it to get calmed down. A Sun is still a Sun.

"Master," I heard. Turning, I saw the Automaton behind us.

"Yes?"

"The engine is complete, it awaits your inspection," he said.

"Right, let's go check it out," I replied as I led the group.

Once we arrived there was slight amount of steam coming out of the twelve arms of the printer. And behind it was the six foot tall engine complete and ready to activate.

"Isolate the engine for trial, we have no idea how much power it is able to generate so we'll start by being safe.

"As the master commands," the Automaton said and simply rebuilt the white s.p.a.ce by teleporting and transporting everything unrelated to the engine away.

The Dusking Sun and Blue Sun were next to me while Tao Yang backed away a bit.

"Are you scared it might blow up?" I asked.

"No, I just don't want to get sucked into its gravitational pull once it begins working, it really has a strong kicks," she said.

The two Suns understood immediately and placed their palms on my back. I felt a powerful surge of spatial law surround me. It was a safety precaution.

And now, thanks to the ability to use Divine Sense we can all see how this thing functions.

All of us had our Divine Sense focused on the reactor as I began pressing several sections on the engine. Then it soon began operating. Several small clicks and ticks echoed from inside the engine, and soon it began increasing in volume and power.

Enough that all our robes began fluttering then soon you could feel the engine applying a lot of weight on all of us and dragging us albite slightly towards it.

"It really does have a good gravitational pull," the Dusking Sun said.

"It hadn't even started yet," Tao Yang said, "It's just testing and warming up its parts, once you introduce a decent amount of Qi to it, it will probably collapse the entire area around it, be careful," she shouted over the increasingly louder noise.

And it was true, as I pulled a small saint Qi crystal next to the engine, and before I could even break it to make its content spill out, it turned to dust into my hand. And all the energy inside it went right into the reactor, causing it to ramp up in power. Enough that the Automaton spoke, "Lord, what she said is true, if it keeps ramping up, it will collapse the paG.o.da.

The gravitational pull is too much, also it is generating energy without any source to expel it, it might bloat up and blow up," he said.

He was right, I only booted it up to see how it works but without an outlet for the energy it might just blow up.

"Can you channel the excess energy into the Star Heart room?" I asked the Automaton.

"As the master commands," he said as several wires appeared at the bottom of the engine and tubes and simply attached themselves to it.

The reactor continued pumping enhanced Qi into the tubes until it slowed down after having exhausted the Qi I had given it.

"It really did use the Qi I had given it and increased its quality. From Saint Qi to Origin Qi… this is quite amazing," I said.

Tao Yang sighed, "It would have been dangerous if we didn't have a way to release that energy. Though it wouldn't explode since it isn't designed to blow up, it will definitely implode and ruin the entire floor here."

I agree, but thankfully we were prepared. Also…

"I know what's wrong with the small engine back at the bastion, we can now repair it, if all of them are suffering from the same issue, it should be simple to fix," I said.

"Really?" Tao Yang asked.

"I guess I also figured it out," the Blue Sun said.

I had to admit, the issue was pretty annoying to find out without Divine Sense, and she noticed it in the same time it took me even though I had built the entire engine and fully understand how it functions while she only saw a fraction of the build being made and only inspected it afterward.

"What do you think the problem is?" Tao Yang asked.

"A jumpstart, it had stalled due to being inactive for so long, though that's only one engine, you said that you had a critical failure which caused you to crash here, right?" I asked.

"Indeed, we were flying fine, but due to the lack of personnel maintaining the engines it failed. We couldn't approach that area, as you know there was a n.o.ble Rakshasa there," she said.

I understand, after all, the big bad monster was waiting for anyone right next to the engine, no sane man would dare risk go there. Because not only is it dangerous, it also would risk the Rakshasa gaining more soul energy if they kill them, and gain a new host to procreate from.

"Let's head back to the bastion for now, once we repair all the engines we'll probably be able to control the bastion to a better extent," I said.

Tao Yang and the Blue Sun nodded, and apparently the Dusking Sun felt a bit slighted.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing…" he said turning his head away.

The Blue Sun approached me and whispered in my ears, a smile visible on her face "He also wants to use one of the puppets."

She could have clearly said that to me via divine sense but she wanted him to hear it.

"Hmm, that can be done," I said.

"Really?" he replied.

"Yes, it's not much of an issue," I shrugged.

"Didn't you say that we can only possess the puppets at the entrance of the bastion," the Blue Sun questioned.

"Well, that is true, but we have enough spare parts on us I can rebuild a new one that he can use, it'll take some time but it is possible. So he won't have to walk all the way up from the bastion's gate. Not to mention it is less risky this way, we don't want to alert any of the Rakshasa to our presence." I said.

"Thank you Shen Bao, I'll repay this favor," he said.

"Don't worry about it, this isn't enough to be called a favor," I said.

Although I know what goes into his mind. After all he is a sun, and finding something interesting to do is very rare for someone that lived that long.

Once we used the helmets and entered back into the bastion I was about to speak only to notice the frozen eyes and frozen body of the two puppets in front of me, not looking at me but above me.

They didn't speak, nor even wrote anything, and I knew full well that they were fully operational just from the eyes of the puppets.

And what made my worries come true was the sound of breath behind us, heaving low and hard, like a wind gale blowing around us.

A Rakshasa was behind me, and from the power of that breath, I could easily figure out which one.

It was the d.a.m.n n.o.ble Rakshasa…
