Against The Gods With An Anime System - Chapter 141

After Fen Juecheng’s mind was repaired by Mesa, he got back to his senses and saw Mesa and Cang Yue standing there in his room. Remembering the horrible torture vividly, he immediately started crawling backward in a pathetic and ultimately pointless attempt to get away from Mesa, and all the while screaming things like ‘No! Get away from me!’ and begging for mercy.

And this whole time, Cang Yue was standing by the site and watching on. For all the years that she had known Fen Juecheng, he always acted so arrogant and haughty. Always acting like he was on top of the world and that everyone had to obey his whim, like it was the law. And now, here he was. Sniffling like a baby and begging for mercy. She looks at Mesa and was thinking: ‘What the f_u_c_k did Mesa do to him to make him like this?!’

Having had enough of all his sniffling, Mesa grabbed him by the collar and put him under a genjutsu to shut him up. After that he looked over at Cang Yue and finally, the all-encompassing rage on his face melted away into a gentle and loving gaze and removing the artifact that had suppressed all her strength this whole time. Wrapping his arms around her, he spoke with much regret in his voice. “I am so sorry for being late.”

After all this time, after all this terror and keeping a strong front, Cang Yue once again burst into tears and buried her face in his c_h_e_s_t. When she had finally calmed down, Cang Yue asked him. “Earlier, you said that my father is save. How did you save him and come here so quick? They threw away the bracelet that had that teleportation mark on it?”

*BOOOOMMMM!!!!*

But before Mesa could say anything, a massive explosion occurred that shook the building they were in a little. This was soon followed up by a very angry voice announcing its arrival…

“DING DONG!! GUESS WHO MOTHERF_U_C_KERS!!”

And this voice was exactly like Mesa’s, but with Cang Yue being in the same room as Mesa, she was confused as to how he could be here with her and also outside at the same time. Before she could ask what was going on, Mesa had cut her off.

“Now I know you have a lot questions and you have been through a lot. But right here, right now is not the place for answers.” Said Mesa as he used Tsukuyomi on Cang Yue. He recreated her bedchambers and seated them at a table. Contrary to popular belief, Cang Yue didn’t react with astonishment at this sudden change in environment. Instead, she knew exactly what happened when she saw Mesa’s Mangekyo Sharingan. And thus, she knew that Mesa brought her here to answer all her questions with all the time in the world.

“Now that we are here and we have all the time in the world, go ahead and ask whatever you want. I will answer every question you have.” Said Mesa as he poured Cang Yue a glass of water before proceeding to sit down at the opposite side of the table.

“Earlier, you said that my father is save. How did you save him and come here so quick? They threw away the bracelet that had that teleportation mark on it?” Said Cang Yue and before Mesa could answer, she asked another question. “And was it just me or did I hear another Mesa right after that explosion earlier?”

Drawing in a sharp breath, Mesa said. “Well… let me start from the very beginning and explain everything up to this point. So, much of what I am going to tell you right now won’t make much sense, so feel free to interrupt me whenever you want if you have questions.”

“Well, to start us of. I am not from Konohagakure as I told you.” Said Mesa much to Cang Yue’s astonishment. But before she could ask him where he was from, Mesa continued on. “Well, actually I both am from Konohagakure and I am not at from Konohagakure at the same time.”

This confused her even more than before. Cang Yue just, for what seemed like ages, kept staring at Mesa with a questioning look on her face before finally managing to stammer out. “Mesa… w-w-w-what are you going on about?”

“Let me start from the very beginning. My original name was Ray Williams, I was born and raised in a city called New York City and I eventually met my untimely death in this very same city.” Said Mesa to a horrified and confused looking Cang Yue.

From there, Mesa went on to tell Cang Yue about how he came from an entirely different world and woke up here in this world in the body of someone else who was also from another world, Itachi Uchiha. He had inherited Itachi’s memories and his skills. But because he didn’t want to become some carbon copy of Itachi and act exactly like him, he named himself Mesa. But because he greatly admired Itachi, from the memories he had inherited from him, he did decide to adopt his family name. And to top it all off, he told her about how he has the ability to bring powers, skills and weapons from other worlds into this one and use it as his own, meaning that nearly every power and weapon he had used and shown so far, were from other universes.

It took a what seemed like ages for Cang Yue to come to wrap her head around what Mesa just told her. Eventually, she asked him. “Mesa, if this is true, then why didn’t you tell me?”

“Because it would be sound like genuine madman talk.” Answered Mesa. “What would you do if the first thing I said to you was: ‘Hey there, my name is Mesa Uchiha, formerly known as Ray Williams. I came from New York City that is in an entirely different universe where I died and I woke up in this universe inside the body of someone else from yet another universe whose memories I have inherited.’ Wouldn’t you think that I was completely insane and get as far away from me as possible.”

“Now that I hear it out loud, it totally sounds like madman talk.” Said Cang Yue.

From there, Cang Yue asked him many questions about how many universes exist and was quite stunned when the answer was an infinite amount of universes. She asked him questions about his Earth, she asked about New York City. She also asked about Itachi’s history and how he was and about the world and the history of the world where he came from. For hours and hours on end, Cang Yue asked Mesa about everything she could think of, even about the worlds where each of his powers came from.

“So basically, you are practically already an unstoppable force of nature. But when you have all six of those stones, you’ll become an unstoppable force of nature that has genuine godly powers.” Said Cang Yue in complete exasperation, barely able to comprehend the words that came out of her mouth.

As she went silent, she gazed at the Mind Stone embedded in the Infinity Gauntlet, and with Mesa explaining the powers of the Infinity Stones, she came to a realization. “So, that’s how you knew where I was. You used that stone to read my mind to find me.”

“Yes, that is correct. Do you still remember when I ‘died’ back during the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament?” Asked Mesa with Cang Yue nodding yes.

“Well of course I did not die obviously. But I did get stuck there with Yun Chu and his grandfather. And after I was done with my secluded training, I went back there to rescue them. Right now, they’re safely inside the Kamui dimension, out of reach of any of the Four Sacred Grounds. But anyways, I went back inside to talk to them and give them supplies that they would need to survive inside. And apparently, I was in there for a few days. So when I came out, I heard about the Burning Heaven Clan’s coup d’etat. And with this Mind Stone, I read everyone’s minds and found exactly what happened and where you were. So what I did was make a lot of shadow clones in order to save both you and your father at the same time. And that brings us to this moment.” Said Mesa narrating everything that happened from the moment he got stuck under the Sword Management Terrace.

“Come on, let’s go. We can’t let my clone outside do all the work himself.” Said Mesa holding out his hand to Cang Yue, who eagerly grabbed it as the Tsukuyomi’s effect dissipated and they went outside, ready to witness the Burning Heaven Clan’s attempted coup fail and consign them to the history books.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Blue Fire Region, 3000 km southwest of New Moon City, at the main entrance of the Burning Heaven Clan

Clone Mesa’s job was to attract the attention the entire Burning Heaven Clan whilst original Mesa would rescue Cang Yue from Fen Juecheng and put the guy through hell. The Burning Heaven Clan was situated within a valley, the Burning Heaven Valley, with mountainous cliffs of various heights dotting the land that the sect was located in. This was just the right place for them to cultivate their Burning Heaven Secret Arts, the central profound arts and the skills that are derived from it, that made the Burning Heaven Clan one of the Four Major Sects of the Blue Wind Empire. Inside, all of the people of the Burning Heaven Clan were busy finishing the last of the preparations for the wedding ceremony that was to be held there in a few hours.

Arriving at the main entrance, clone Mesa didn’t hold back when he c_o_c_ked back his fist and swung at the main entrance gate. With his fist making contact, his fist impacting the air just millimeters away from the main gate, the air around his fist cracks like glass and expands, until the cracks were twice as high as the main gate.

*Poof!*

… it was gone. The cracked air that they saw in front of the main gate was suddenly gone and all that they were left with was one collective thought: ‘What the f_u_c_k was that?’

But this train of thought didn’t persist for long, for not even 3 seconds later, the mother of explosions rings out across the entire Burning Heaven Valley, blasting the main gate to smithereens. Some disciples and guardsmen that were standing too close to the main gate were torn apart by all the flying shrapnel.

“Insolence! Who dares provoke my Burning Heaven Clan!” Roared Fen Duanhun from his residence, with his voice carrying across the entire Burning Heaven Clan and appearing at the main gate moments later together with the various Elders and Pavilion Masters that he was having a meeting with.

“DING DONG!! GUESS WHO MOTHERF_U_C_KERS!!” Through the dust cloud that shrouded the main entrance, the very, very angry voice of clone Mesa transmitted through the air as he came walking out of the dust cloud.

Seeing Mesa appear in front of them, Fen Duanhun started to smirk and then snicker arrogantly. “Ah, you’re Mesa Uchiha. I have been expecting your arrival.”

“I figured, but didn’t want to assume.” Said Mesa with a quick quip.

“Hmmph! You filthy insolent whelp!” Snorted Fen Duanhun indignantly at Mesa’s mocking asnwer.

“But I must thank you, for you have delivered yourself to us and saved us all the effort it would take to search for you.” Said Fen Duanhun. And with a snap of his fingers, Mesa was completely surrounded by Burning Heaven Clan disciples and Elders on all sides. “Now then, I believe it is time that you pay back the debt you owe the Burning Heaven Clan with your live! So sit back and just obediently accept your death!”

Holding out his hand, Mesa took Mjolnir out of his inventory and proceeded to beat up all the disciples that were ganging up him. Every weapon that he faced being crushed to bits under its mighty powers and their wielders knocked away by the hammer.

(A.N.: For those who thought that this fanfic was dropped, my humblest apologies. Lately, the pressure at work had been so high that I was exhausted every day. And because of this, I had lost the drive to continue writing this fanfic. Whereas before it took me a week to write a chapter. Now, I would continue to stare at the screen and not want to write anything. But now, I am back and I will try to pick up the pace again.)
