The rakshasa began withdrawing in mass. They knew fully that this scouting force was not enough to cause any real harm to the already prepared Beyond. The waves of enemies that had landed in the Sea of Demons began flying up while my forces didn't stop taking them down as they flew.
Shooting the stragglers and the unlucky ones down back to their doom at the hands of more explosives or Walkers.
The problem for me remains the same, I've gotten rid of the Rakshasa for now, but the walkers are still a pain in the ass to deal with, and my ammo reserves aren't enough to do so.
"Automaton, give me a quick count of our losses and our current ammo reserves and what can be immediately used."
"For loss, we have lost no soldiers so far, the enemy rakshasa had barely made any damage to the strcture of the dome due to being unable to analyze and understand confusion inscriptions, they were simply lost within the formation attacking each other.
As for the ammunition from the start of the battle, we lost two hundred billion bullet, six thousand Tungsten Pillar, fifty thousand and three hundred landmine and about a hundred thousand javelin. We're left with about ten percent of the used materials."
"Damn, how long will it take to fully replenish the stock?" I asked.
"About one month," he said.
I don't know if we have one month…
"A month inside the pagoda, so a single day to replenish. We'll be back at the same level in one day in the Beyond, and we'll be able to have far more firepower if we fully focus on the creation of puppets and ammo, but we don't have enough materials.""I already have the material part handled, order the construction of more puppets and more ammo, use everything we have, I'll go and get my payment from the suns after I'm done with this," I said as several cultivators came flying toward the main city of the Sea of Demons.
One of the cultivators was a Heaven Stage cultivator and approached the city first. He gave off a terrifying aura that would make everyone shiver in their boots if they were to stare at him.
Several other cultivators were behind him and were waiting for him to speak. You could see their eyes darting from left to right as they were watching the city and the extreme number of puppets manning almost everything. From the walls to the streets, from repairs to carrying the unconscious people to even brooming the dust and grim on the ground and handling all sort of menial matters.
"Hmm," the Heaven Stage cultivator coughed and said, "You're not letting us in?" his question seemed more like an order with a hidden hint of both derision and threat.
I looked at him and said, "Who are you? And why would I let you in?" I asked."
"This is Bang Juyi, one of the three Heaven Stage cultivators that are directly working under the Red Sun, he needs no introduction due to his wide known name. Behave yourself and open the formation," one of the lackies spoke like a true side character.
"Is that so… I never heard of him," I shrugged.
This made the side character puff up in rage shouting, "Listen here! It is your great fortune that Lord Bang Juyi even wanted to set foot here! If he wanted he can take the entire Sea of Demons for himself and you have nothing to say or can do to stop him, you better open this damn formation or I'll break it myself!"
"Break it? You can try, but I'm not opening my city to anyone who comes with hostile intentions, you better leave or you'll have to face the consequences."
"Shen Bao!" the Heaven Stage cultivator said, "Enough, we're only here to rest after the battle, we'll be departing soon, host us well and I'll leave a good word for you to the Red Sun. and you, stop escalating the matter," the Heaven Stage said, he was still clearly giving orders as if he ruled and owned the place.
"Sure, you should have said so earlier, that you're all in need of a shelter, fine come in," I said as anger was boiling inside me.
They dare say that they needed rest? From fucking what, they didn't even move a muscle. Fine, Red Sun, don't blame me for what I'm about to do.
I almost felt watched the moment the thought crossed my mind, but not in a bad sense. As if someone was intrigued.
I opened the formation for them, and several of the cultivators began snorting as they moved past me.
"Should have done that earlier,"
"Hah! He got scared!"
"What a spineless man, even I would have done better at ruling this god forsaken land."
All of them let out some of these remarks or similar but I didn't say much.
"Shen Bao, it isn't like you to act like a sacredly cat," I heard.
Turning, it was Dao Shen.
I smiled at him, "Indeed, when was it ever like me to act like a wuss in front of stronger cultivators."
He immediately understood what I meant.
I have yet to ever bow my head to strength, and if I were to act like I was doing so, it is only because I had other plans.
"To my palace, you'll be hosted well there," I said as they didn't even care to turn and immediately went to the royal palace. They entered it as if they owned the place and complained about dust and the lack of decore and the most random bullshit ever. Ɽά𐌽OʙΕṣ
But I held it in as I followed behind them.
The audacity of the Heaven Stage cultivators knew no bounds as he took the imperial seat and sat down then said, "Offer us a drink, we're parched!"
Tao Yang immediately arrived to my side and said, "Who are these people?" through divine sense
"Oh, these, they're dead men that don't know it yet," I replied.
"What a beauty, come here, serve me a drink!" the Heaven Stage said.
Tao Yang frowned. Currently she wasn't as strong as she used to be, but she can well and easily fold a Heaven Stage cultivator into a pretzel.
"That's my wife, you can't be covoting another man's wife, what would people say," I said as I brought a jug of wine to him.
"Who cares, I'll have her satisfy me for the night and you can have her back tomorrow, we as men should enjoy the good things in life! HAH!" he laughed and the rest of the cultivators laughed with him.
Tao Yang was at the point of blowing up but I simply calmed her down with a few words.

"We'll talk about that later," I said, "How about that drink," I said as I offered a mediocre drink to them from a jug in my holding bag.
The Heaven Stage cultivator took a single sniff at it and immediately threw it away, "What disgusting shit is this? Are you trying to poison me! Not that it'll work but fuck that stinks," he said.
"Well I don't know your pallet, all I have for normal people is that drink and the one that I offered for the Dusking Sun, but I doubt you can drink that, I mean, it's too strong."
"I was of the intention of drinking that specific drink for if a sun says it's decent it must be decent! Present it to us!" he said as he slammed his hand on the hand-rest of the throne.
I then presented him with the jug and offered him a cup, him and the rest of the cultivators all the way to Dao Shen.
They all drank from the wine and were having their throats burn in ecstasy and deliciousness.
Enjoy it, it will be the last thing you ever drink.
"WHAT FINE WINE!" he said as he slammed the jug in his hand on the hand-rest and broke them both.
"Give me more!" he said "And you! Come serve it!" he said addressing Tao Yang.
"You won't be needing more," I said.
He tilted his head, a smirk appeared on his face, "You're not about to defy me are you? I SAID MORE!" he said but the energy ripple that came out of his body was barely able to ruffle a bit of his hair.
"Like I said, you won't be needing it," I said and the rest of the cultivators around us all had their hands on their weapons.
"Nor will you," I said as I pointed at the first guy that spoke.
He opened his moth to reply only for black as tar blood to come out.
He looked panicked at his comrades only for them to suffer the same thing.
"You dare enter a home you're not invited to, and drink and eat food you're not allowed, then you try and force a man to hand over his wife to you, who under the heavens do you think yourself as?"
My words were aimed at everyone in the hall, anger clear in them but the coldness of the words were more chilling to their bones than the effects of the Poison in the wine.
"The only reason the Dusking Sun was able to drink that was because of his special constitution, as for the rest of the cultivators that drank it, they all were given this," I said as I showed them a small pill.
"Now, you'll lose all your cultivation for but a moment, but that is all one needs to handle you," I said as I whipped my right arm next to me. A long black rod appeared out of it. And the moment it showed the Heaven Stage cultivator's eyes were opened wide.
"The Darkest One's Nail!"
"Well, I guess you recognized this," I said as I stabbed it right into his forehead "Suffer for all endless eternity, see the world a thousand times slower, and your death ever so approaching but never yet reaching, live in death, and die without living. For that is the cost of crossing Du Shen!"
