The World Serpent

Chapter 136 - 136-Building The Fortress Bastion



On the Peak of the Great Plateau, A Structure got erected by the Inquisition of the Occidental Region. Within such Structure were Hundreds of Demon Crescents gathered together. They were in silence as they carefully looked at the Wooden Stage in front of them. Torches continued burning around them as their Master finally appeared in front of them. 

Their Master was a Beautiful Young Lady with a Silver White Hair. Her Golden Amber Eyes shone with Tyranny and Dominion. She also had One Single Ancient Horn protruding from her forehead. She was Persia, The Master of the Inquisition. The Demon Serpent and the Supreme of the Great Forest. Persia gazed upon the Demon Crescents and spoke with a calm voice. 

"The Peak of the Great Plateau will be where we would start. Are there any disagreements?" Persia asked as the Demon Crescents shook their heads at the same time. Ego and the Three Demon Crescents Leader stood right beside her. Persia then nodded in satisfaction as she muttered with her Calm Voice. "Then, Why don\'t we start?" 

The Structure they stood in slowly crumbled into dust as the Demon Crescents found themselves surprised. Persia looked at them and spoke with a calm voice. "The Plans will get reported to you by Ego, Luna, Marx, and Capita. This plan of ours is complicated. After all, this place will be our permanent home." 

After Persia\'s words, Ego and the Three Demon Crescents stood forward and walked towards the Demon Crescents. They started discussing the plans and the blueprints written by Ego. The Demon Crescents were firstly surprised at the scale of the Fortress Project, but they understood that the Bastion Fortress would be the Face of the Inquisition. They need it to be very Scary and Big.

They started working into separated teams as the Vast Land of the Peak was quite hard to build on. They lacked numbers, which was a problem during the construction. It seems that the disadvantage of having lower numbers was now affecting them. Fortunately, Persia had an idea, and it heavily involved Ego. It was something that got pointed at Ego\'s Origin Skill. 

"Is there something you need, Sister?"

Ego stopped discussing the more plans with the Demon Crescent and turned her gaze towards Persia. Persia stood in front of Ego and replied. "We have a problem in numbers." Ego nodded in agreement as she also noticed the Problem in their numbers. Ego then looked at her Sister and spoke. "Do you want me to use my Origin Skill?" 

"Correct, I found the Skill useful. I can help you if something goes wrong." Persia nodded as Ego smiled. She then honestly said with her monotone voice. "I was waiting for your assistance on my Origin Skill. I find it dangerous, though, despite its advantages. It might get uncontrollable if I recklessly use it." 

"Being cautious is a good way to go with dealing Origin Skills. I\'ll help you in case it goes wrong." Persia thumped up with her pale hand and smiled towards Ego. Ego nodded as the two of them disappeared from their spot. They reappeared a distance away as Persia carefully gazed upon Ego with her Golden Amber Eyes. 

Ego took a deep breath and muttered. "I\'m gonna start." Persia nodded with a Serious expression. Ego\'s body then illuminated as she started rotating the gears within her brain. The Inquisition needed temporary numbers that would help them in the construction, so with this in mind. An Idea echoed within Ego\'s mind.

\'Activate Origin Skill Machina, Summon Drone Factory.\' Ego ordered within herself as she looked at a Certain spot with her Golden Amber Eyes. A Bright Light illuminated as Ego concentrated on the summoning. A Drone Factory finally got summoned by Ego. It was a Gigantic Futuristic Factory that stood within 200 meters in height. 

"Hmm..." Persia looked at the Drone Factory with surprise plastered on her face. It seems that Ego finally activated her Origin Skill for the First time. The Origin Skill summoned a Gigantic Drone Factory that would help the Inquisition Long Term and Short Term. It seems that the future in front of them would be intriguing with Ego right beside Persia. 

As the summoning of the Drone Factory got completed, Ego stopped her concentration and sighed. She looked at the Gargantuan Factory in front of her and released a smile of pride. Persia disappeared from her spot and reappeared right beside Ego. "That was an amazing summoning you did there, Ego." Persia smiled as Ego nodded. 

"So, how do we use it?" Persia asked while looking at the Gargantuan Drone Factory. Despite being big, Persia doubted that it would take a toll on Ego\'s Energy Reserve. With this in mind, She was curious about the Drone Factory which Ego had summoned. Ego looked upon the Drone Factory and answered. "It will activate under my orders." 

"I see... We should start investigating it and send armies of Drones to our teams. It should make the construction a lot faster." Persia nodded in understanding and spoke with a calm voice. Ego knew that they had to be fast though she was curious about something. Ego looked at Persia and asked. 

"The Materials used on the Bastion Fortress Construction are weak or insignificant compared to what the Other Nations of the Great Forest could do. Heavy Fortified Concrete wouldn\'t protect anything from anyone\'s weapons." Ego gave her opinion about the Materials of the Construction. Persia looked at Ego and asked in curiosity. 

"Do you have any suggestions?" Persia was curious about what Ego\'s idea would be. Ego nodded and answered with her monotone voice. "I plan to strap the Materials with Runic Protection. I also have a combination of New Materials from the Archive. But it might be expensive." Ego looked at Persia as the reason why she didn\'t speak of it was simple. It was because it was expensive and needed to get applied over a large area. Not only that, but Persia would have to be the one doing the heavy lifting.

But after looking upon the construction of the Bastion Fortress. Ego understood that Heavy Fortified Concrete wouldn\'t be enough. Hearing Ego\'s suggestion, Persia wondered why Ego didn\'t report any information about it. After thinking about it, Persia concluded that it must have been about her. Expensive, or it needed something from her, Persia was curious about the price. 

"I understand. So, what do we need to do?" Persia asked with a calm voice as Ego looked at her with a Serious expression. It has been a while since Ego started being Serious. Persia couldn\'t remember the first time, but she was sure that Ego got serious long ago. Ego then replied with a monotone voice though it had a tinge of seriousness. 

"First of all, We would need a Giant Reactor. I have already found a way about the First Thing. The Second would be the Materials. It would be expensive to get such Materials normally, but with Sister, it would be easy. Third, I would need Sister\'s Energy. It might take a lot as the Vast Mega Project needs tons of resources. Lastly, Sister\'s blood. Only a droplet would be enough." Ego explained as Persia started thinking within herself. 

"I find it expensive as the Vast Resources and the Fact that it is Expensive and with also the Fact about Sister\'s Blood and Energy. I wasn\'t planning to release such information, but after seeing the current state of the Project. I doubt we would be able to complete it without the help of the Material." Ego said her reasoning as Persia once again nodded in understanding. 

"Your reasoning is acceptable. You might have thought that it was not worth it. But from the situation we are in, That new Material of yours might help. I am intrigued by it, so I hope that it wouldn\'t disappoint me." Persia spoke as Ego nodded. Persia then smirked as she started gazing upon the Drone Factory. 

"Activate the Production of the Drone Construction Army, Ego. Also, write the list of the things we need. I\'ll prepare them in an hour." Persia said with a Calm voice. Ego instantly formed a paper in front of her and wrote the details of the Materials and their ingredients. She also wrote about how much they needed from the written components. 

It took a while but after five minutes of writing. Ego completed it and gave it to Persia. Persia was a bit surprised by how many of the things they needed to create the Materials. She sighed as it seemed that she would face a headache trying to procure the Material Ingredients. Though, it might be worth it as the Material would get used on the construction of the Bastion Fortress. 

"I\'ll procure them. Order the Demon Crescents to work together with drones. Have them form a layout and also prepare your Giant Reactor as I\'ll come back in an hour." Persia ordered as Ego nodded. Persia then disappeared from the spot. Ego found herself alone as she looked at the Drone Factory.

Neon Lights started opening in the Drone Factory. Gears were shifting as the Drone Factory finally activated. The Drone Factory started building Construction Drones that would get sent towards the Groups of Inquisitors scattered over the Great Plateau. After the activation of the Drone Factory, Ego sighed and thought to herself. \'It seems that I have to build the Giant Reactor. Well, for my Sister.\'

After thinking such words, Ego disappeared from the spot, like Persia.
