Against The Gods With An Anime System - Chapter 133

“WWWWWWWHHHHHHAAAAAAAT!!!!”

With his fingers plugging his ears, Mesa disgruntledly watched on as Feng Qianhui and the others were freaking out with shock after he showed them Yamato and Excalibur, only for him to feel a tap on his shoulder. He didn’t even need to turn around to know who it was that tapped him on the shoulder. And so, greatly disgruntled, he turned around to see Xia Qingyue holding out her hand to him in a ‘pay up’ gesture.

“[unintelligible grumbling]… here dammit.” Taking out a money card from his inventory, Mesa handed it to a smugly smirking Xia Qingyue, albeit with much reluctance.

The rest of the women looking at their exchange with lots of questions: “Uhm… what is this all about?”

“[deep inhale]… This is me losing a bet. As for what the bet was all about? It was about whether you would freak out if I showed you Yamato and Excalibur. I said no because you practice the Frozen Heart Arts, and Xia Qingyue said yes. And in the end, she won and I had to give her 100 purple profound coins. But anyways, let us go back to the story you were telling Grand Asgard Mistress. You were telling me about a calamity that would befall the Frozen Cloud Asgard. Yet you have only spoken about the downfall of the Eternal Night Royal Family. What does that have to do with a calamity with the Frozen Cloud Asgard?”

“Right.” Said Feng Qianhui, quickly collecting herself and making a mental note to ask Xia Qingyue about this later on: “As I was saying. The reason that they are related is because, the founder of the Frozen Cloud Asgard, Mu Bingyun, was saved by the Eternal Night Royal Family Queen. Even though the Eternal Night Queen’s profound strength had reached the pinnacle, she was still gentle and kindhearted. Not only did she rescue our Frozen Cloud ancestor from the claws of a Tyrant Profound Beast, she’d even bestowed its profound core to our Frozen Cloud ancestor after killing that Tyrant Profound Beast, and also gave many directions that benefited our Frozen Cloud ancestor through her entire life. If it weren’t for the Eternal Night Queen’s rescue and guidance, then our Frozen Cloud ancestor wouldn’t have made such great accomplishments that enabled her to look down at everyone in Blue Wind, and you could even say that if it weren’t for her, there wouldn’t be today’s Frozen Cloud Asgard. Because our Frozen Cloud ancestor regarded the Eternal Night Queen as one of noble virtue and a benefactor, she never believed that the Eternal Night Royal Family was a ‘sinful devil clan’. But our Frozen Cloud ancestor did not have the power to help the Eternal Night Royal Family right wrongs and avenge them, so she had no other choice but to preserve the true facts and pass them on within Frozen Cloud Asgard, to prevent the truth from ever disappearing, while also alerting all Frozen Cloud disciples to never associate with Mighty Heavenly Sword Region!

“As for the calamity. In those days, Frozen Cloud Asgard’s Mistress and a wanderer of Black Fiend Empire’s Heaven’s Fate Clan were close friends. At that time, the Heaven’s Fate Clan was at its peak. They were about to see through heaven’s way and clearly discern heaven’s fate. It was highly inappropriate to be able to discern heaven’s fate, and ultimately, they had met judgement from heaven’s way, and were annihilated. When the Frozen Cloud ancestor founded Frozen Cloud Asgard, the Heaven’s Fate wanderer had previously seen through heaven’s fate, and informed our ancestor of our Frozen Cloud Asgard’s thousand years of glory, as well as the great calamity that would come after a thousand years. And it has already been a thousand years since the Frozen Cloud Asgard was founded. And it has been a year that I have always been ill at ease. At times I have even been haunted by nightmares when I slept. In addition to that, a disciple with abnormally high aptitude like Xia Qingyue suddenly emerged in my Frozen Cloud Asgard, the Frozen End Divine Arts that went silent for a thousand years resurfaced in the world as well and lastly, you and everything you have done for my sect. All these various abnormalities, are all hinting at the arrival of the Thousand Year Calamity.”

“I see. So that’s what got you so worried and why you’re even willing to break a few sect rules for me. If it means that the sect is preserved and the lives of its disciples are guaranteed, why would you care about breaking a few rules. Am I right to assume that that is an important reason as to why you asked me to join?”

“You are correct. As you surmised just now, I have asked you to join the Frozen Cloud Asgard in order to have an additional force to resist the Thousand Year Calamity, if it happens. And judging from what I have seen from you so far, I am inclined to believe that the Thousand Year Calamity will not be as calamitous as I have been fearing.” Said Feng Qianhui with a faint smile of relieve on her face: “In the meantime, we will not disclose you joining our Frozen Cloud Asgard. At the end of the week, during the sect assembly, I will inform them myself. In the meantime, Qingyue, take Mesa Uchiha here on a stroll through the Frozen Cloud Asgard. And as for the rest of you, you may go back to what you were doing.”

“Yes.” Xia Qingyue got up, gave Feng Qianhui a salutation, and then left with Mesa.

Walking around the Frozen Cloud Asgard, Mesa noticed pretty quickly that it was very quiet. Every Frozen Cloud disciple had their own private housing and training room. Moreover, a majority of their temperaments were ice cold, so even if it was within the sect, it was very rare for them to show their face.

“So Qingyue, tell me, aren’t you bored here? It’s so quiet and I haven’t seen a single disciple during our entire tour.” Mesa remarked, offhandedly.

“The cultivation of my sect’s Frozen Cloud Art and Frozen Heart Art are all about being ice cold and tranquil, cultivating here could not be even more perfect. This kind of environment suits me. And is not much different from how I lived life before I joined Frozen Cloud Asgard.”

“Guess you got a point there.” Said Mesa nonchalantly, following Qingyue as she led him throughout the Frozen Cloud Asgard. At some point he asked her: “Qingyue, since every single disciple has their own room, mind if I come with to see yours?”

“My room is a bit special. After I finally comprehended Frozen End Divine Arts, the Grand Asgard Mistress allowed me to cultivate at the Frozen Cloud Secret Ground inscribed with Frozen End Divine Arts.” Said Qingyue.

“Oohh! Well then I would like to see this room for myself and see what the Frozen End Divine Arts are and compare them to the True Ice Arts of mine.”

Xia Qingyue did not refuse, and directly said: “If that’s the case, then follow me.”

Following after her, both were quiet as they walked through many ice corridors until they arrived in front of a large ice crystal gate that emitted a dense white mist. Xia Qingyue extended a palm, pressing it atop the ice crystal gate. A blue light flickered in the center of her palm, and after a light sound of displacement, the originally tightly closed ice crystal gate silently opened. A piercing coldness assaulted the face, and what emerged in front of them was an especially spacious great hall. But the walls and bricks of this great hall were actually not made of cold ice, rather, they were made up of a deep blue-green stone.

“This hall is called the ‘Frozen End Divine Hall’, it is the place where our Frozen Cloud ancestor cultivated, and also the place where our Frozen Cloud ancestor departed the mortal realm.” Said Xia Qingyue as she slowly walked in.

Following behind her, what Mesa saw was a wide and empty hall, devoid of anything. What was of notice was that the entire hall, the floor, walls and ceiling were made of a bluestone. Walking around the chamber, Mesa whistled with great impression: ��Damn! This is some place for some solitary cultivation. No wonder you like to cultivate in here. Now then, where is that Frozen End Divine Arts, so that I can compare it to the True Ice Arts.”

“It’s right here. But be warned, other than the Asgard Founder, I am the only one who has managed to comprehend the Frozen End Divine Arts, so it is not a given that you can do it too.” Said Xia Qingyue. She raised her arms and with her light lighting up in light blue glow, the originally bright and clean bluestone wall in front of them suddenly reflected rows of azure blue writing. When she lowered her arms and the blue light in her hands faded away, the letters on the wall faded away as well: “Only when using the illumination of the light from Frozen Cloud Arts will the inscription of the Frozen End Divine Arts appear. If one is not a Frozen Cloud disciple, even if they came here, they would not be able to obtain the Frozen End Divine Art’s profound formula.”

“Yeah that makes sense.��� Nodded Mesa.

“Additionally, the bluestone within this hall is called ‘Heavenly Firm Jade’. It has been said that it is a divine stone that had been nourished by a True God’s power in the Primordial Era. Incomparably hard and solid, slicing it would leave no lines, it would not crack if frozen, and not melt if burned by fire. Even the power from a peak Emperor Profound is incapable of doing it any harm. Thus, when training in this sort of place, you can practice any kind of technique, and not have to worry about destroying anything.”

Hearing Xia Qingyue say this, Mesa looked at her with an empty gaze that said ‘Really nigga?’. And so, without saying anything, Mesa just took out the Yamato and with very little effort managed to leave a big slice on the wall. Seeing this happen in front of her, Xia Qingyue was stumped and speechless for a moment, before she realized who it is she had in front of her and knew not to bother with asking dumb questions on how he was able to do it.

“Qingyue, for future’s sake, don’t assume I am a normal guy with normal limitations, like everyone else. You are the only one who knows that I am not a native from this universe and that I can bring powers, abilities, weapons and treasures from other universes into this one. So stop comparing me to normal people from this world and accept that I can make the impossible possible.” Said Mesa, quickly shutting down any and all future questions on how and why this and that. Qingyue for her part, accepted it and just moved on.

Using his own Frozen Cloud Arts to illuminate the wall and make the words appear again, Mesa looked at the words, but couldn’t make out a single thing. It all looked like it was written in a mysterious language, none of it made any kind of sense. As he kept looking at it, the writings suddenly changed and he was able to read it.

“Frozen End Divine Arts —— Main Formula —— Ice, extremity of water, extremity of coldness. All things under the heavens can become ice; water can be frozen into ice, blood can be frozen into ice, energy can be frozen into ice, the profound can be frozen into ice. Mountains, hills, and the skies all can be frozen into ice…”

Whilst he was immersed in reading the formula for the Frozen End Divine Arts, two things happened. First thing was, he suddenly received a notification from JARVIS.

*DING* [“Congratulations sir, for finding the main Profound Art formula for the Ice Phoenix Investiture Cannon. This is the legacy left behind by the Ice Phoenix for future inheritors.”]

Second thing that happened was…

“Mesa. What is that gauntlet on your right hand? And why is that yellow gem glowing?” Asked Xia Qingyue curiously. When Mesa was reading the Frozen Divine Arts Main Formula, he couldn’t read it first. But thanks to the Mind Stone, and its ability to grant its wielder the power to read every language, he could now read the Frozen Divine Arts. What he didn’t notice was the Infinity Gauntlet appearing on his right hand and the Mind Stone glowing.

Looking down at his right hand and seeing the Infinity Gauntlet on it, he looks back Xia Qingyue and points at the door: “Qingyue, close that door please. We need to talk.”
