Poison God's Heritage

"We don't have much time," the puppet said. "They are tracking the crystal that you have. Discard it somehow to slow down their search."

"You said that you can allow one of my puppets to move about in the base without it being destroyed by the base's defensive mechanism," I said.

The puppet replied, "Indeed, are you planning on using your puppet as bait?"

"Yep, that's the only way to get rid of a bait, is to use it as another bait," I said as I asked Zhang Tian for the crystal back.

I called one of my small beetles and placed the crystal on its back. "Go, run as fast as you can," I gave it the order and it flew out of the room with the crystal. It soon reached the bridge's other end and began roaming about in the base.

"This should buy you some time, but since it is a disturbance to the peace of the base that remained for thousands of years, don't expect them to stop searching simply, they'll stay on some levels of alert," the puppet said.

"Administrator," I said.

"Me?" the puppet questioned.

"Since you're the only one with the ability and is awake now, that should be what I call you, no?"

"We don't know the layout of the base. Also, I think we can save that woman from her prison,"

The puppet immediately refused, "No, not with your current cultivation. You will all die before you reach halfway, worse, you might even get captured." He said.

"Well, we can't just stay here, she is our only way out," I said.

"I don't think it is a wise thing to do. The frozen effect she has on her, not only is it stopping and halting all vital activities, but it is also put in to stop her from dying. She had received so many injuries that she was barely between alive and dead.

If you were to destabilize the frost she would perish and you'd die due to that, that is on the premise that you somehow manage to save her from her predicament which is nigh impossible," he said.

"Impossible is my middle name, if it's about saving her, I can figure something out, as long as they have one breath in them, I think I can help her out. Regardless, I need the layout, the entire map to this place, and any information regarding the positioning of the Rakshasas," I said.

The puppet moved back and forth for a few seconds before it said, "I can give you the map to the entire area. But, you must promise one thing," it said.

"What is it?"

"Don't become our enemy, don't give your lives only for them to be used against the Bastion. She is the last of our race, do not waste the small hope that she has to survive by doing something foolish, and if you are caught, swear on your own Dao that you will not give them your Soul…"

He means to terminate myself if caught.

"Your words are rather specific you only speak to Shen Bao when you're saying that he needs to terminate himself," Dao Shen noticed something none of us did.

"Indeed," the puppet replied, "Because, although you're not of royal blood. Your soul power is strong enough to charge even me. I can see that."

"Then doesn't that mean I can also command the base?" I asked.

"No, you have the quantity, not the quality, I fear that if caught, the rakshasas might use your soul to empower the Queen's waning soul. With both mixed together, they can command and open the ship onto your world and that tragedy might happen again."

I doubt that will happen, the suns are more than ready to exile the entire area into the void… but I'm not telling him that.

"I see, but don't worry, that's never happening," I said.

"How are we going to proceed?" the Fire King spoke. I guess he was getting urged by the Darkest Sun, I can see from how his eye is jittering.

"For now, we'll need the map," I said

The Administrator inserted its arm again into the prop and a multi-layered projection appeared on top. It displayed five levels of the base. The structure of this base is incredibly large. No wonder, after all the bastion itself is as big as the Thunder Domain. If not the Thunder Domain was created due to the aftereffects of the base being buried under the ground.

Five levels, and we were in the middle one. There were two more levels above us and two down below us.

There were tens of thousands of red dots, some grouped up and clumped together in massive chambers, some of them were moving though and were spreading all over the base as we were watching.

A few other dots were gray in color, and there were five dark-colored dots each of them in a different level stationed surrounded by the gray dots.

"I guess these are the Rakshasas, each color represents a different type," I said.

"The ones we saw before?" asked Law.

"Yes, I can assume from the numbers, that the red dots are the white rakshasas, they're all at the Void Stage, and the gray and dark ones are at the Void Shattering Stage. While the silver ones… where are the silver ones?" I asked.

"They're not possible to locate, they have some sort of ability to hide from the base's detection,"

"Well, seeing that they managed to sneak up on the Queen, I could suppose that they were at the Origin Realm at least. The infantry are numerous, so if we're moving to locate the Queen, we'll need to always be on guard not to get swamped. We can beat a group of five or ten on our own with ease, but more than that we'll get overrun.

The brutes which are the gray ones we have to avoid at all times unless necessary. Fighting them will be difficult. The dark ones I can assume have the general rank since they're the ones who give out orders. Those are a priority for the termination in case we encounter them…"

"What about the silver ones?" law asked again.

"If we encounter them, we run."

There is more though," Dao Shen pointed looking there.

At our floor, the middle one, and on the other side of the map, there was a massive group of dots moving barely a few inches but never leaving a certain area. They grouped up in a square.

"These are the ones that got trapped, isn't that so?" I asked the puppet.

"Yes, they remain trapped there since the first day," he said.

"Their Queen is there… if I remember correctly," I said.

"No," the puppet denied, "That is not a Queen, that is however one of its first offspring. The Queen never left our home planet. That is basically a royal trapped inside the cube. The purpose of all of these Rakshasas is to release that Royalist from the trap set by our former lord. And the only way to do so is to use the royal blood of our own queen's soul."

"I see…" I mumbled.

"So, how are we planning the mission?" Zhang Tian said, "As you can see, the Queen is frozen in the deepest floor of this base. We'll need to go down two floors, and from the looks of it, the closest passage leading down is packed full of Rakshasas…"

"Not all paths," Dao Shen said, "look there is a small tunnel here leading down to the fourth floor, what's that?" Dao Shen asked the puppet.

"That's the waste disposal passage. It is locked from the outside, so if you're planning on using it, I'll come with you, also I imported the map into my mind so we can have updated information," the Administrator said.

That was very comforting, to be honest. We can use him as he has a master key to all facilities and a live map.

"We can use that passage then," I said though to get there, we'll have to cross several sections, if we're ever met with one of the Silver Rakshasas we'll be in trouble," I said as I was looking at the map.

"I'd rather fight one of the Silver Rakshasas than go down a waste tunnel," Law grimaced in disgust.

"It's been twenty thousand years since that thing was used Law, trust me, if anything is left there it'd be a miracle, anyways it looks like a good plan so far to get to the fourth level, and seeing that the majority of the Rakshasas are moving about in a completely different direction, -Probably Chasing the beetle holding the crystal- we should probably head out right now."

With the plan in action and everyone agreeing, we moved out.

We have no idea when the Rakshasas will figure out that they're following a ghost trail, and I have no intention of staying here until they realize it. They're intelligent and they could easily put one and one together.

"Law," I said.

"What is it boss," he said.

"You'll be leading the way, although I hate to rely on dumb luck, it's better that you move ahead of all of us, in case we encounter something stupid, you might be able to offset the danger."

"On it boss," he said and moved ahead.

"Everyone, good luck," I said and the five of us rushed out of the room, with the administrator behind us.
