Number One Dungeon Supplier

"Do you think I should overthink a little about this?" Kraft said as he looked at one of the carved Buddhist statues with a bit of concern. There should not be anything related to the Banned Emperor when it comes to Buddhism but for them to choose a site so close to Bhaja Caves was somewhat concerning.

"They would not have chosen a religious site for nothing," Kraft said to himself as the Banned Emperor always prided themselves on being one full of symbolism despite the tyranny that he had reigned the country with.

"He was never a fan of Buddhism, is he not?" He now queried the System which took some time for the latter to return the reply.

"No, he did not. However, there was evidence of Buddhist paintings in a particular room of his palace. If anything, he might have collected such paintings and statues as part of his collection."

"Do you know what he had collected?" The Devil Fox asked but the System was not able to reply with full certainty.

"While the System might be able to recollect and identify certain Buddhist paintings, the System as a collective believed that the resources spent to recollect such a scene might not be useful in the current 'overthinking' mode of yours."

"Then why do they keep trying to search for the Flower City? Even Jin had a hint to the doorway to the Flower City but he never bothered to go there and find out." Kraft felt a little perturbed by it now that he thinks about it.

"It's the User's choice whether he wishes to utilise the hint that was given to him to go into the Flower City. Otherwise, the Original System Bellator Kraft would need to ask either Sub System User Qiu Yue or Sword Saint Bellator Zeru for assistance in entering."

"You see, even Qiu Yue went in once! What the heck is Jin doing!" Kraft complained that the most important person controlling every single minion had to be granted permission to enter the Flower City in order for Kraft to be admitted as well.

Because regardless of how Kraft appeared to be independent all the time, the fact was that he was still a minion of Jin despite having the original bellator status.

Therefore, he needed a recommendation from a citizen of the Flower City in order to get the approval to enter. There was no test or what so ever to be taken to enter and even with his magnificent powers, he knew that there was someone who could kill him if he tried to enter by force.

It was none other than Zeru and even Zeru had once spoken of a guardian that was stronger than him that might have the powers to defeat Zeru if he were to become an exile of the Flower City. "Well…I can put a fight against Zeru and maybe win 1 round out of thirty?" Kraft tried to reason with the System and it was apparent that the System did not allow such a case to happen.

Not to mention, he could not get such a recommendation from Qiu Yue since she was a guest visitor herself but he could get Qiu Yue to enter again if he really wanted to. After all, she owed him a debt…or many debts. Yet, that also does not mean Qiu Yue has the wits to find what Kraft wants to find.

And even if he does not underestimate the queen builder of cities across the multiverse, it would still take too long and that might have already fizzled his inquisitive mind.

"Come on System, you are in control of Zeru, that means you have records of his memories. I am not asking you to show me his memories, and emotions (although that would be a bonus…) I merely wanted images of Buddhism or any context of Buddhism within the Flower City. Pictures of it would be fine. Totally fine."

"The System would not allow Original Bellator any access to the memories of another Bellator their permission. It is best that you ask Bellator Zeru yourself." The System immediately sent a connection call to Zeru regardless of Kraft's reluctant behaviour mainly because it was too tired of handling a whimsy fox.

"Yes? Do you need assistance?" Zeru asked and Kraft started to think whether it was truly necessary to get him all over to India just to kill a few Banned Emperor Terrorists.

"Yeah, why not?" He figured it would not hurt and get him to give some insight into the current situation. If the System was not going to give the fox an answer, why not the fox get some answers from the sword saint who has resided in the Flower City for ages instead?

"Be right there," Zeru said and within a second, a portal opened right beside Kraft and Zeru was already clenching on his scabbard. "This place is…?"

"Do you have any idea what the hell -erm the heaven are all these?" Kraft asked and this triggered the type of expression that Kraft was yearning from Zeru.

"Follow me. I think I can give you an answer." The Sword Saint said as his every step was like eight steps forward but it was nothing Kraft could not do as well, just that the latter needed to use a little more strength than usual. "I assume the Banned Emperor Terrorists are staying here?"

"Yesh. They have a hideout further down but my Foxes should be able to handle them. There is nothing much to worry about on that end."

"I do not worry about the lackeys but rather the actual revival of the Banned Emperor." Zeru blurted a piece of information which made Kraft's eyes go starry wide. Soon, they reached a portion of the caves which depicted a god on a chariot and another on an elephant.

"They looked rather familiar. Are they some sort of gods?" Kraft asked the System and it acknowledged the Fox's reply with two names. Surya, the Solar Deity, and Indra, the Hindu mythology's version of Zeus.

"As expected, the Celestials had a hand in this world more than we believed," Zeru said as he slowly took his blade out from his scabbard instead of the usual insanely fast sword draw that he used to kill his enemies.

He placed his blade right at the bottom of Surya's neck and sure enough, there was some sort of resistance that was unable to allow him to cut and disfigure the carvings. He released his blade and this time he tried it right with Indra and now small electrical sparks were seen popping out of the cave walls.

"So what? The Banned Emperor had some help from the Celestials?" Kraft just did a quick shoot of questions to Zeru to better understand the situation.

"No, the Banned Emperor Terrorists are trying to get Celestials involved to get their Banned Emperor back." Zeru theorised.

"They needed relics of the past that were kept hidden from the world. And if they got enough of such ancient relics, perhaps, they could invoke a celestial? Or maybe a series of celestials to aid them to get their old king back."

"Because they believed that their king is a god and hence they did not ask from the Demons?" Kraft asked but Zeru shook his head.

"No, I do not think it that way. And like I said, the gathering of the relics was a theory that they wanted to aim for the call of the Celestials. However, the more I fought with them, the more I felt that their call might incidentally be answered by the Void Beings."

"Because they are practically a veil away from our world?" Kraft could see the dots. "That does not explain the celestial relics they sought for."

"We do not know what relics are they looking for specifically. Right now, their mode of operation feels too random or there are multiple factions doing multiple things at the same time. I cannot guarantee that. All I know is that a lot of them are pack mules.

They know nothing about the situation at all and the best we could do is to speculate." Zeru said as he now drew a line down with his sword between the chariot and the elephant carvings.

The wall instantly split into two and behind those two carvings were actually the Foxes performing their actions fighting against the hideout of Banned Emperor Terrorists, panicking and wandering how the information had been leaked out.

Just as they thought they could have a proper defensive line with the cave walls behind their back, the said walls quietly opened up to reveal two cultivators with an aura that was more than enough to replace those walls.

Kraft smiled as his foxes did as they were trained, even the newly inducted Sun Foxes had managed to keep most of the Banned Emperor Terrorist members alive. Only through excruciating cuts in their bodies or amputations to show that the Foxes meant business, this particular terrorist cell was at the mercy of none other than the Devil Fox.
