Against The Gods With An Anime System - Chapter 137

Earlier, when Yun Canghai begged Mesa to be allowed to stay in the Kamui Dimension in order to cultivate, Mesa read his mind to see if he had any kind of ulterior motives. But from what he read, he had none. His only reason for staying was to get stronger to help out his family and save his country from the one who wants to usurp it. And also to have the strength for some much needed vengeance, but that was a given. But when he briefly glanced at Yun Che, he could see just a wisp of a smirk adorning his face.

‘Yes! Yes! Please say yes! If grandfather and I can stay here, then just like grandfather said, I can get much stronger. Strong enough that I will surpass this bastard and finally get my revenge. Even if he is a monster, once I am strong enough, I will destroy him and take back everything he stole from me.’

This was what Mesa heard, reading Yun Che’s mind. And honestly, he wasn’t surprised at all at what he read, but nonetheless still miffed about it.

‘Alright, enough is enough. I have let this worthless sack of shit walk around for too long and plot his revenge. It’s time I tie up this loose end once and all.’

“[sigh]… Fine. I will let you and Yun Che stay here until we get to the Illusory Demon Realm.” Said Mesa, much to Yun Canghai’s joy.

“But before I do that…” Said Mesa cryptically.

Just as Yun Canghai wanted to ask him what he meant, he was suddenly grabbed by the head by Mesa with his right hand. With a quick usage of the Mind Stone, he put Yun Canghai to sleep and then turned around to a very frightened Yun Che.

“Alright Yun Che. From reading your grandfather’s mind, I saw that his motives were pure. But yours on the other hand weren’t. And it’s about time that I fix up this whole loose end situation with you and ensure you won’t become a nuisance to me in the future.” Said Mesa and as expected, Yun Che backed away fearfully.

“You bastard! What did you do to my grandfather?!”

���Your grandfather is fine. Don’t worry about him. It’s you yourself that you should worry about.” Said Mesa in a very intimidating tone.

Backing away fearfully from an ever ominously approaching Mesa, Yun Che had soon come to the realization that he was stuck in here and wholly at Mesa’s mercy. When the gravity of the situation hit him, he dropped to his knees, powerless and at the end of his rope, with tears streaming down his face. During his previous life in the Azure Cloud Continent, after the murder of his master Yun Gu, he went on a quest of vengeance and killed as many people as he could that were responsible for his master’s murder. Even though Yun Gu had told him not to seek vengeance on his behalf, he still did. And he ended up killing millions of people on his quest of vengeance. Even after meeting Su Ling’er, who loved him with her whole heart and diligently and dutifully taking care of him, he still prioritized his quest of vengeance over her. In fact, even though she loved him and always patched him back up after he got injured, he still didn’t love her back and only used her to rid himself of pent up horniness. It was only after she got killed did he realize how much she meant to him. And it didn’t take long before those who were after Yun Che for vengeance had cornered him. And at Cloud’s End Cliff, cornered and completely alone, he still didn’t submit to them. Rather than give them the Sky Poison Pearl and allow them to kill him, he swallowed it and jumped off Cloud’s End Cliff, as a last act of defiance.

But now, here in a pocket dimension that belonged to the one person he hates just as much as those who killed Yun Gu, he had given up hope. Ever since the day that Mesa showed up and stole his Mirror of Samsara and Sky Poison Pearl, everything went downhill. His marriage to Xia Qingyue was annulled and he was expelled from the Xiao Clan, while his grandfather Xiao Lei and aunt Xiao Lingxi had been imprisoned. The only good thing that happened these last two years was the fact that he mysteriously woke up with a new set of Profound Veins with all 54 entrances open.

“What do you want from me?! Why are you doing this to me?! Why?! Why me?!” Screamed Yun Che at Mesa, his face covered in snot and tears.

Looking down on him, Mesa felt nothing but pity and contempt for him: ‘What a pitiful creature. To thing that this is the guy that killed millions and ended as a destroyer within the God’s Realm.’

“Two reasons.” Said Mesa in a calm business like voice. “First off, you had the Sky Poison Pearl and the Mirror of Samsara on you, two of the Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures. And that is all the reason I need to take them.”

Hearing this made Yun Che more and more angry, for he knew he was right. The Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures were the greatest treasures of them all. He didn’t need any reason to take them and he could only blame himself for being too weak to protect them from him.

“And second, when I put you to sleep in the forest that night, I had a good look at those memories of yours from your second life in the Azure Cloud Continent.” Said Mesa shocking Yun Che into silence.

“That’s not possible. That is not possible!” Yun Che yelled out indignantly, but was quickly silenced when Mesa said the names ‘Yun Gu’ and ‘Su Ling’er’.

“Yes, I know about Yun Gu and Su Ling’er. During this moment in the forest, I came to know everything you have done during your second life in the Azure Cloud Continent.” Said Mesa to an increasingly paler Yun Che. “I know about him finding you as an abandoned baby and raising you as his own son and teaching you everything he knew. I know about him being killed by those who wanted the Sky Poison Pearl he had in his possession. And how his final wish was for you to not seek out vengeance on his behave and to live a happy and free live. But instead, you didn’t even wait for his body to get cold before you besmirched his final wish and went on a rampage and started killing millions. If Yun Gu knew what became of you after his death, I am certain he would be roll over in his grave, disgusted with how you turned out in the end.”

Already he was at his wits end and unable to think of a way to get out of this situation. But hearing Mesa recount to him his second life in the Azure Cloud Continent, caused him to lose the strength he had in his legs. But that last comment about Yun Gu and the way he said it with a disgusted and contemptuous look on his face. That one sent him over the edge. And in an act of pure desperation, he lunged at Mesa, fully intent on killing him.

*SLAP!!!*

Before he could even get off his feet, Mesa bitch-slapped Yun Che into the ground, starting a nosebleed and big bruise to appear on the right side of his face. Looking down on him with the same contemptuous look he had since he caught on to his plan, he says: “Sit. Down.”

While watching him grovel on the ground and whimper in pain, Mesa had made up his mind on how to solve this loose end once and for all without failing his quest. So, using his String-String Fruit powers, he bound him up and gagged him before he went to work on him.

“You may think me a monster, you may think me the one who is the source of all your suffering, and while it is true, there is a reason behind it all. After I read your mind and saw all the things you were responsible for, I have decided to punish you. I know that what you suffered was horrible. But instead of ending the cycle violence, you did not only embrace it, you’ve worsened so much that it became genocide. You are the one responsible for millions of dead, both innocent and guilty people and indiscriminate of whether they were man, woman or child.” Said Mesa before coming down to eye level with him and continuing on. “After I had taken everything from you that you used to cause said genocide, I had some hope that it would lead to you turning over a new leaf. But instead, you stayed exactly the same. Because you, Yun Che, are a monster. A true degenerate monster in human flesh. Your very existence is a poison that will slowly and inexorably lead to even more death and suffering if left unchecked.”

Everything that Mesa said was just making Yun Che more and more angry. Even though it was the truth and he did kill millions, he had always justified it because they had taken his master/foster father from him. And he always used his power and knowledge to help out everyone he could, regardless of who they were. Even when he knew that his death was imminent, he didn’t fight back and he let them kill him, but not before giving Yun Che the Sky Poison Pearl. In his rage fueled grief, he went on a killing rampage and slaughtered everyone who was even remotely connected to those responsible for his master/foster father’s death. Even when countless innocent people died, just because they were at the wrong time at the wrong place, he still justified it, saying that they only had their own bad luck to blame for being in his way. Even when many years had passed and he had moved on Yun Gu’s death, he never once ceased his quest for vengeance. Every day he went out to kill as many as he could. Even when he was cornered at Cloud’s End Cliff, on the way there, he had even killed many of his pursuers.

“Alright Yun Che, this is where you will cease to exist forever. I will reprogram your mind and change you forever. Everything that made you Yun Che will cease to exist and be replaced by a genuinely kindhearted and loving person. But before I do any of that, I want to hear your last words.” Said Mesa to an increasingly more erratic and enraged Yun Che. Standing up, he took out the gag to let him have his last words.

“You bastard! I will never let you have your way! And even if you kill me or replace me with someone else! I will come back and kill you! Mark my words! I will kill you!”

Not intimidated at all, but in fact amused, Mesa reacts to his whole declaration of vengeance with another condescending smirk. “Wow Yun Che, real threatening. I am absolutely shaking in my boots with dread. But all kidding aside. There are a few things wrong with what you just said. First off, your compliance isn’t a factor. Second, I won’t kill you, because death is too good for you. Though a true monster you may be, there are still people who need you and causing them pain is not what I want. And thirdly, I have already changed everyone else’s mind that you ever knew. They now, have never known a Yun Che and they never will.”

“No… that is not possible. That’s not possible! You’re lying! You can’t do that! Nobody can! And even if you somehow could! Little Aunt, grandfather, Yuanba, they will know! They will immediately know that something’s wrong with me! I have known them my whole life, they will immediately know something is wrong with me!”

Having had enough of him, Mesa places his hand on Yun Che’s head: “This is farewell Yun Che. But if it gives you any solace, I will make sure that Xiao Lei and Xiao Lingxi and everyone you ever knew will be happy with the new Yun Che. Or better yet, with Yun Chu because they had never known a Yun Che in the first place.”

Activating the Mind Stone and with Yun Che’s eyes glowing in a yellow light, Mesa started to override and reprogram his mind. The new Yun Che, or Yun Chu to be exact, would no longer have some vendetta against Mesa. In fact, he and Mesa are even friends. He would no longer try to get stronger in order to get Xia Qingyue back. As far as he knew, he and Qingyue had decided to divorce each other on good terms, because they had both come to the conclusion that they were not made for one another and staying married to each other would only make them miserable. For Yun Chu, Xiao Lingxi was the one that he wanted to be with and knowing that they were never blood related in the first place, he had set his mind on becoming stronger so that he can free her and his adoptive grandfather, Xiao Lei, from their imprisonment and live a happy live together with them and his real family in the Illusory Demon Realm. And as far as he was concerned, no other woman was more important to him than Xiao Lingxi.

Some time later, Yun Canghai and Yun Chu both woke up, Mesa had already patched up Yun Chu’s face from the bitch slap he gave Yun Che earlier.

“Hey there sleepy heads, did you rest up nicely?” Called out Mesa from next to them.

“Good morning. I slept great. Chu’er, how did you sleep?” Said Yun Canghai.

“Good morning grandfather, Mesa. Yeah, I slept great. Guess I was far more tired than I had thought.” Said Yun Chu.
