Utilizing a setup of type IIB superstring theory compactified on an orientifold of \mathbbT6/(ℤ2× ℤ2) , we propose a modular invariant dimensional oxidation of the four- dimensional scalar potential. In the oxidized ten-dimensional supergravity action, the standard NS-NS and RR three form fluxes (H-, F -) as well as the non-geometric fluxes (Q-, P -) are found to nicely rearrange themselves to form generalized flux-combinations. As an application towards moduli stabilization, using the same S-duality invariant scalar potential, we examine the recently proposed No-Go theorem [1] about creating a mass-hierarchy between universal-axion and the dilaton relevant for axionic-inflation. Considering a two-field dynamics of universal axion and dilator while assuming the other moduli/axions being stabilized, we find a part of the No-Go arguments to be quite robust even with the inclusion of non-geometric (Q-, P -) fluxes.
