Looking through the screen, I was mildly depressed. Not because of anything serious really, it was simply the fact that the firepower that a Sun is showcasing is so absurdly enormous that all the preparations I had readied up looked like child play against that.
I mean, the dude is literally summoning a personified god and using it to destroy droves upon droves of enemies. Not to mention the Darkest Sun's endless materialization of weapons and arms that were constantly eradicating the enemy.
I mean, for fuck sake how did Solarous even lose if they had a Sun stage cultivator?
"I know what you're thinking," Tao Yang said.
I looked at her and didn't say anything waiting for her to reply.
"Strength is good to have, it provides certainty and surety to everyone around you. We had strength, but didn't have the ability to properly use it. Our world was too used to peace that when danger came we couldn't handle it. We were too indecisive with our actions and the loss of our cultivators was the cost for it," she said.
"How did sun stage cultivators even fail? Look, only two of them are fighting and they're already a quarter of the work done," I said.
"That's because the real enemy monsters have yet to show themselves. The Queen for example, is almost impervious to damage from Qi, so killing her is not a possibility. It was the reason why our cultivators used up all their power and still failed to make a dent in her body, and she ended up consuming them in the end.
The Nobles you see are merely the leaders of these packs of rakshasa, the swarm Queen is the real danger but I don't see her anywhere," she said.
"I see," I said as I was looking up, figuring a way to deal with this bullshit will take some time."You want me to guide the bastion here?" she asked.
"Guide? What do you mean guide?" I asked.
"Now that the Noble Rakshasa that was roaming the Bastion has been captured, eliminating the rest of the rakshasa inside the Bastion is easy. We can simply reshape it so it will change and crush everything inside it. All rakshasa included. We couldn't do that before because we would have also perished.
But now since there is no life inside it we can have it transform and reposition it all the way here into the Sea of Demons." She said.
"How much energy will that cost?" I asked.
"It'll cost a great deal of Soul energy that's for sure," she said.
"Enough to kill a cultivator above the Sun stage," I replied. No one can do that, and no one will try and move something that big using their soul.
"No, that was only needed to initiate the first takeoff, but it will still be a huge amount of Soul energy regardless. It'll only be needed to give it a jumpstart, once it awakens, the engines and reactors you repaired will do the rest of the work, I've already given the command for the bastion to listen to your words.
You now have the same privileges to modify and change the bastion structure as your ability allows you and as you see fit like my father did."
"I see… but the Bastion is too far away, I'll need to go all the way to the Thunder Domain," I replied.
"You'll have your opportunity soon, the Rakshasas will soon fully withdraw," she said.
"How do you know that?" I asked.
"Because this isn't their full force, I'm sure you saw their number back at our planet, that was only a small bit. There are many of them, and this is but a scouting force,"
The words out of her mouth were more sobering than a dip in ice cold water. If this is but the tip of the iceberg…I fear for the safety of the Beyond.
The fight continued on for two more hours however, where my ammo was rapidly being drained. The weapons were malfunctioning and were in need of rapid replacements and the piles and corpses of frozen and shattered rakshasa were constantly growing.
The sea level began rising to above the ankle level as the rain had yet to stop.
As for the Red Sun, he had killed so many of the Rakshasa in this two hours that he overtook me with an army by a long shot.
The enemy forces became thinner and thinner and began grouping to gathered even the ones around my cities have failed to breach any of them and decided to withdraw.
The Rakshasa that were heavily wounded were immediately killed off by their own kin, and those that had light injuries were carried away as the entire enemy force began flying away.
The problem was that though the Rakshasa began withdrawing, the damn walkers were still there so there was no rest for us.
From afar, several energy waves began rippling and a meteor fire appeared out of nowhere, landing right into the retreating rakshasa forces and pulverizing them forcing their retreat to be even hastier.
The Blue Sun's forces finally arrived and immediately joined the fight, only to be disappointed as the enemy was doing a full retreat. I managed to rout the enemy and there is no way these guys will be taking the credit for it. Experience more tales on
I contacted the Blue Sun immediately.
"Did they arrive yet?" she asked.
"Yeah, but a bit too late," I said.
"Did something wrong happen? Worry was clear in her voice, I'll personally come over and save you," she said.
"I appreciate the thought and worry for my safety, but no, it's just that I already forced the enemy to retreat and then your people came, hah, funny thing is even the Red Sun forces are now joining in…" I shook my head acting disappointed.
"Don't worry Shen Bao, no one will be stealing your achievements," the Wisest Sun smiled, "I sent in a few trusted people with the Blue Sun's forces that they'll report what exactly happened there," he added.
"I appreciate the gesture, though I have documented and filmed everything that happened for study purposes, regardless this isn't the full force of the Raksahsa so notify everyone to not celebrate too early, it came to my understanding that this was nothing but a scouting force," I said.
"We also thought the same, something of this magnitude isn't enough to take down an entire planet with Suns Stage cultivators," he said.
"Good, we're on the same plage, also Blue Sun, I'll need to head back to the bastion to retrieve it," I said.
"What do you mean retrieve?" the Cryptic Sun jumped in.
"I wasn't talking to you," I replied sternly, he was about to open, his mouth but the Lord of Lords gave him a stern look reminding him with the not so subtle and very overt threat he had given him earlier.
The Cryptic Sun leaned back on his chair grumbling god knows what.
"You need me to take you there?" she asked.
"If possible, I'll also need a lot of materials, I've used up an incredible amount of ammunition and I'm almost tapped out," I sighed.
"If you're willing to exchange your contribution points for them, I can offer you the materials you need," the Cryptic Sun said.
It wasn't a fair offer.
I laughed, "So, basically what you're saying, is that I have to work this hard, and protect that region, and then instead of being rewarded I'll need to pay hard earned contribution points from my own pockets to keep protecting it? Are you mentally unstable?"
"Shen Bao is right, he's doing a great job protecting the Sea of Demons, we as the Suns aren't being attacked due to the Aura we have built up in our lands, while Shen Bao is still too young to have something like that, he can't be asked to give what he earned to only work harder again.
I'll personally send in some of the materials you require," the Flamboyant Sun said and then added, "Shen Bao, I appreciate your hard work, you didn't give up the Sea of Demons despite the difficulties you faced in obtaining it and in keeping it protected. Stay shining bright, you're a role model for the younger generation to follow," he nodded toward me.
I felt a great deal of respect for the Flamboyant Sun right there, a good-hearted compliment without any malice or bad thought behind it is bound to make a man's day go well even if an entire race of aliens is attacking you.
"I'll also send in some materials and workers to help you rebuild," the Blue Sun said.
Although nothing was destroyed I'm pretty happy with the free labor I'll be getting.
And it went on from Sun to Sun promising to send in some of their people to assist.
All the way to the Cryptic Sun.
"Fine I'll help too," he said.
I grinned, good, with this many people helping I might be able to completely revolutionize the Sea of Demons.
