Poison God's Heritage

Now, when facing certain death, one has very few things they can do. And here especially, our options are pretty much nonexistent. Fighting against this thing is probably the second dumbest thing one can do, the first dumbest thing being to move.

Yes. Our only way out is to not move an inch. Think of this damned thing as a very hungry T-rex, it follows motion. Hah, why am I even thinking of the weirdest shit right now? If I lose this puppet, the simple act of getting back here is enough to cause me a headache.

However, thankfully, I had one thing going on for me which will buy us some time. And it was going to happen in the next three, two, one... one... One!

Suddenly, the breathing behind me stopped and a loud screech, enough to rattle the very gears making the puppet I'm using, echoed through the chamber. The Noble Black screeched more and more, then jumped up with one hand grabbing onto the hole above us. It front-flipped itself and dashed away into the distance, all you could hear was the loud sound of its footsteps growing fainter.

"What happened?" Tao Yang asked, her eyes wide with surprise as she clutched her weapon tighter.

"It was right on time. The things we placed under the White Rakshasa's hives, they started working, didn't they?" the Blue Sun asked me, wiping sweat from his brow.

I nodded, "Yes, this should buy us a good deal of time while the Rakshasas are investigating. Let's hurry up," I said, urging everyone towards the risen-up engine.

"What was the issue?" the Blue Sun asked me, his voice filled with curiosity.

"Like I said, it needed a jumpstart. It never broke, it only stalled because of the crash. The main issue for the crash was simply a lack of maintenance," I explained as I pressed several options on the engine, my fingers flying over the controls.

Soon, the tubular engine opened up in the middle. There was some gunk inside it which I simply removed by wiping it with some cloth. Several of the pistons were slightly out of order, but the majority were working perfectly. By removing some of the calcified gunk on them, the pistons began working and broke the crusted layer out.

The vibrations of the engine did the rest as it began absorbing the Qi from all around it.

I broke a piece of Saint Qi crystal that was instantly absorbed into the engine, then pressed on the pedestal to drag the engine back into the heart of the ship once we closed it.

"This one is operational," I said, and as soon as I finished my words, several sources of light around us began lighting up.

"Let's go to the next ones," I said, leading the way with renewed urgency.

The next two engines also needed only a slight cleanup and repair. However, the later ones were in terrible shape. They were missing several chunks of the engine. The crash must have caused them severe damage, and they fractured.

"These don't look to be fixable," the Blue Sun said, his voice tinged with doubt.

"Not really, they actually can be fixed," I said, "But we'll need a helping hand," I added, pulling several puppet parts and attaching them together from my holding bag. I asked for more pieces until I finally had a fully functional puppet put together

"We'll fix them the same as I did to this puppet, but we'll have to sacrifice a few more engines to do this. Give me a second," I said as I logged out and went back to the Lord of Lords Pagoda.

"Old Dusk," I said to the Dusking Sun, who was sulking in the corner of the room.

"You forgot about me?" he said, his voice carrying a hint of bitterness.

"No, your puppet is ready. We just had some complications with the Noble Black. Anyway, put this helmet on. The Blue Sun and Tao Yang will explain things for you once you meet them," I said.

He had a wide smile on his face after hearing that he could now use the puppet, and sat down, placing the helmet on his head. I, on the other hand, hurried toward the printer and ordered it to make a dozen more engines. They'd come in handy soon. ＲＡꞐŏ฿Ěꞩ

Once the order was placed, the puppets responsible for making them began supplying the printer with materials, and it began creating more engines. I went back to the Bastion once the command was given to find the Blue Sun, Tao Yang, and the Dusking Sun all prying open the engines in the room.

Led by the Blue Sun, they cleaned up the ones that needed cleaning and simple fixes and placed them back on, not touching any of the ones that were already operational, while the ones that had the most damage remained on top, exposed.

"Alright, I'll start fixing these. Please watch over me," I said as I began dismantling the more damaged engines and taking them apart, using pieces and parts from the wrecked engines to repair the ones that had non-critical damage.

In total, there were ten completely destroyed engines beyond hope of repair, twenty-one with massive fractures that could be fixed, fifty engines complete but stalled due to lack of maintenance, and more than a hundred fully operational engines that only needed Qi to increase their output.

The ten completely destroyed engines were sacrificed for parts to fix the fractured ones. With the help of the Blue Sun, who knew by heart how the engine was made, we began fixing the fractured ones using the parts we now had. It took us about half an hour to fix each one of them. Thankfully, since they were made of Soulsteel, we didn't need to weld or fuse anything together.

The Soulsteel itself is capable of mending itself if the appropriate part is presented. In about six or so hours, more than half of the fractured engines were fixed.

Cleaning up the stalled engines was work done by Tao Yang and the Dusking Sun, who took their time making sure every engine was properly operated. Before any fixed engine was placed back, it was supplied with a couple of Saint Qi crystals to help it pump and power up the Qi inside it.

"Why are we doing all this?" the Dusking Sun sighed, clearly fatigued from the grueling work.

"We need to fix the engines so that when we open the gate to the Lord of Lords Pagoda, nothing terrible like the entire Bastion losing power happens. After all, we'll be dropping the Qi seal mechanism to do this and enable spatial travel," I explained patiently, wiping the sweat from my forehead.

"I see. I thought we could, you know, just shut the whole thing down first," he said, scratching his head.

"You already saw how strong the Noble Black is without Qi. I'm afraid that if we shut down the Qi seal, they'll break the gate and exit. We don't want that," I said as I broke the final piece of Saint Qi crystal and pushed the engine down.

Everything seemed to be working fine for now. The entire area was properly operational. Sadly, the Administrator was nowhere to be seen as he could tell us how our progress was going.

"Now what?" the Dusking Sun asked as we finished, his eyes showing signs of exhaustion.

"We need to shut down the spatial interference," I said, turning my head to Tao Yang.

"Follow me," she said as she moved us to a nearby wall. After pressing on several parts of the metallic wall, it opened up, revealing a small chamber with several monitors and a round circular holographic display.

She pressed several buttons and spoke in her mother tongue, enabling more features and disabling some sort of lock and seal. The display showcased the Bastion in its entirety in a holographic form.

Several unknown letters and symbols appeared all around the Bastion, showing the damage it had taken from the crash, the current status of the incredibly massive ship, and where the most critical failures were. Not only that, but we could also see where the mass of Rakshasa was.

From how Tao Yang was zooming in on several rooms, we could see the majority of these fiends dead and laying on the ground.

These were the ones that were huddled up on the ceiling before the poison canisters blew up. The Noble Black seemed to be still there, inspecting the cause of the mass death that had befallen its kin

"I can disable the spatial interference from here. Are we ready?" Tao Yang asked, her fingers hovering over the controls.

I turned to the Dusking Sun and said, "Can you wait at the Pagoda just in case?"

"I'll also join him," the Blue Sun replied, stepping back from the console.

"Alright. Once Tao Yang disables the interference, we'll send in all the slabs and what we need from here. Good luck to all," I said, feeling a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.

Soon, the puppet eyes of the Dusking Sun and the Blue Sun turned off. They should be back at the Pagoda. Tao Yang then pressed several buttons, and the whole Bastion began shaking.

It all comes down to this now...
