Against The Gods With An Anime System

With 64 Stone Dragon Warriors surrounding him, Mesa readied his next move to clear this stage. Summoning 3 shadow clones, all four of them summoned the Susanoo. Two of which were purple and two were orange. With the Susanoo's all being encased in armor but only the upper bodies. The two purple Susanoo's started shooting purple arrows made of Profound Energy at the Stone Dragon Warriors, while the two orange Susanoo's were using the Yasaka Magatama and shooting them with it. This became like a turkey shoot and in no time at all, all 64 Stone Dragon Warriors were gone. After that all the clones dispersed and Mesa took out another Senzu bean and ate it.

And then 128 lights appeared and out of it came 128 Stone Dragon Warriors. Taking out a bunch of Flying Raijin kunai's, he started throwing them around the arena and dodging the Stone Dragon Warriors. In the end, he had thrown hundreds of Flying Raijin kunai's and took out the Yamato. With the Yamato in hand and the Flying Raijin kunai's on the ground, he started teleporting around and slashing every Stone Dragon Warrior in pieces. Even though the Stone Dragon Warriors were using their spears, shields, swords, hammers, axes and whatnot to deflect or protect against the Yamato. But it would just go through it all like a glowing hot knife through butter and cut the Stone Dragon Warriors to pieces. Every time he would teleport to one kunai, he would slash the nearest Stone Dragon Warrior with the Yamato or when they were too far, he would use the String-String Fruit's Overheat, send out a concentrated bundle of superheated strings from his hand and use it as a whip to destroy a Stone Dragon Warrior. He would continue on like this until all the Stone Dragon Warriors were gone.

And then 256 lights appeared that transformed into 256 Stone Dragon Warriors. Everywhere he looked around him he was surrounded by Stone Dragon Warriors. Staying calm, he pulls back his arms and crosses them in front of his body. A few seconds later, he swings out his arms and full speed and punches the air around him. Next thing you know, the air shatters like glass and the cracks keep getting bigger and bigger before disappearing. And then, a devastating shockwave speeds out from Mesa's position and goes through all the Stone Dragon Warriors, pulverizing them all to tiny little bits. After that, Mesa took out a Senzu bean, ate it and clapped his hands together, in preparation for the penultimate wave.

["Stage 8 complete. Time of completion: Days: - Time: 00:18:00 "]

And then 512 lights appeared that turned into 512 Stone Dragon Warriors. But this wave had archers in their midst. There were spear and shield Stone Dragon Warriors, great sword Stone Dragon Warriors, axe Stone Dragon Warriors, hammer Stone Dragon Warriors and now longbow Stone Dragon Warriors that would shoot out great stone arrows from afar. Teleporting himself to a kunai that was not completely surrounded by Stone Dragon Warriors, Mesa entered Sage Mode and initiated one of his most powerful moves in his arsenal.

SAGE ART: WOOD STYLE: TRUE THOUSAND HANDS

And out of the ground under him, a wooden statue that is a 1000m big erupts out of the ground with Mesa riding on top of it. Thousands of hands originate from the statue's back in countless concentric rows, while its two main hands are clasped, as if in prayer. The Stone Dragon Warriors, devoid of any concept of fear or retreat, charge ahead recklessly and shoots their arrows at the statue. Mesa also charged ahead, riding on top of the statue, yelling at the top of his lungs, using the True Thousand Hands most powerful technique.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! BRING IT ON!!!!! ARTIFACT OF THE BUDDHA!!!!" Yells out Mesa as the thousand hands behind the statue launch themselves at the Stone Dragon Warriors. Wherever they landed, an explosion occurred and with all the hands landing in quick succession of each other, a massive chain of explosions occurred that completely changed the landscape. As the dust settled, what was visible was a massive wooden statue surrounded by a bombed out, crater filled landscape littered with the stone remains of the 512 Stone Dragon Warriors. Taking out another Senzu bean, he quickly eats it, regaining all his lost energy.

["Stage 9 complete. Time of completion: Days: - Time: 00:35:42 "]

"AMAZING!!!! SIMPLY AMAZING!!! I have never seen such a monstrous amount of power and talent in anyone of the challengers who have taken this trial! Your performance has been nothing but heaven defiantly amazing! You are the one who has defeated the nine waves of Stone Dragon Warriors the fastest out of everyone who has ever taken this trial! But the next and final wave will be the most difficult one. As a sign of goodwill, I shall give you 1 minute to prepare yourself. Good luck and may you successful." Said the Primordial Azure Dragon.

'Now then, let's see you how you will do against this next one. If anything, it will be even more amazing than the last one.' Thought the Primordial Azure Dragon to itself as it waited in anticipation for the tenth wave to start.

After 1 minute, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the mountain cliffs directly in front of him and a giant 1500m tall stone gate appeared. And out of this gate came a humongous Stone Dragon Warrior. But unlike the other Stone Dragon Warrior, this one was adorned with a golden armor and a colossal sword with a grey body. The sword's shape was twisted like an oddly shaped dragon bone. As for the sword's tip, it displayed the shape of a ferocious roaring dragon. Whether it was this enormous Stone Dragon Warrior, or the sword in its hand, both emitted an impressive aura… An aura that was even more greater than the 512 Stone Dragon Warriors put together.

The last trial of the first stage of the Dragon God Trial, only had one opponent: The Stone Dragon General!

'In the story that Stone Dragon General was just 3m tall, guess he changed its size because of the True Thousand Hands that I just summoned. If I remember correctly, that Stone Dragon General could re-summon all the Stone Dragon Warriors to fight by its side. No worries, I've got the perfect move to finish this first part of the trial.' Thought Mesa to himself as the Stone Dragon General approached him.

As the Stone Dragon General was in front of him, it swung its massive sword in an overhear slash with the intent on crushing Mesa to death instantly. Mesa reacted immediately by having the statue catch the sword in midair, resulting in Mesa controlling the statue to hold on to the sword and the Stone Dragon General trying to bring down the sword with all its strength. Realizing it couldn't win, the Stone Dragon General quickly retreats and unleashes an earsplitting roar. Moments later, dozens upon dozens of light appear that all turn into Stone Dragon Warriors. But the big difference from before is that these Stone Dragon Warriors, instead of being the regular 3m tall variant, were all 800m tall. Realizing that with the thousand hands already used up and him being alone on a wooden statue, Mesa knew that he couldn't use the statue to fight them all and win.

And so Mesa put his hands up in the air and 'grabbed' onto the air above him and yanked it down with all his strength. What happened next could be described as a scene out of an apocalypse movie. The land around Mesa suddenly started to shift, cracks started to form that swallowed up multiple Stone Dragon Warriors, massive earthquakes happened that caused many a Stone Dragon Warrior to break apart even the mountains in the distance started breaking apart. All in all, Mesa caused an earthquake that completely destroyed the already battered land and left behind nothing but crumbled down mountains and massive fissures that swallowed up all the Stone Dragon Warriors and even the Stone Dragon General himself was swallowed up by one of these fissures. The only piece of land that was not destroyed was the land that Mesa was standing on himself.

["Stage 10 complete. Time of completion: Days: - Time: 00:55:34 "]

"MAGNIFICENT!! TRULY MAGNIFICENT!!! You are the first challenger ever to get past the first part of the trial and you have done it in such a magnificent and truly incredible way that words that cannot describe how impressed I am to have witnessed your magnificent performance! During these thousands of years of waiting, I have regretted multiple times leaving my soul and strength on this piece of land, because the level of strength within this continent is just too low. It made me gradually realize that the trial I had left behind was something that humans on this continent could never pas. That is until I met you and I have truly been blown away by your magnificent performance."

"Now then, the gate to the second part of the trial is open. You can enter it at your own leisure. I recommend you take this rare opportunity to take some rest and prepare yourself for the second part of the trial." Said The Primordial Azure Dragon as a gate appeared in front of him. Eating a senzu bean quickly he marched right through the gate to the second part of the Trial.

What he saw on the other side was as a vast expanse of an endless plain. Grass covered the ground and there were also trees that gave shade. Even the faint sound of running water could be heard. There were short hills in the distance that rose and fell. Occasionally, the cries of all kinds of birds and animals could be heard. Looking around, there were no mountains that acted as a barrier to keep him in. Instead it was a never ending expanse of the plains all around him and he immediately understood. The only way to get out is to win or end up as a corpse ready to be eaten by one of the beasts here. Before long the voice of the Primordial Azure Dragon thunders out from above him

"Challenger, welcome. This place, is the Dragon God Trial's second trial ground. This trial ground has no limit, and also has no exit. You can only leave this place after you have successfully completed the trial. Or perhaps you would be buried here before completing the trial. There are an innumerable amount of profound beasts here in this endless plain. The level of the profound beasts here have all been adjusted with your strength as the benchmark with every single profound beast here having a strength level not lower than the Sky Profound Realm. As for some of the more powerful profound beasts, their strength far surpasses the Stone Dragon General that you had killed."

"To these profound beasts, this place is an endless paradise. But to you, this place is extremely dangerous; it is an abyss filled with countless shadows of death. This is because once the profound beasts here sense your aura, they would all immediately unleash an endless barrage of attacks. At the same time, under my soul's guidance, profound beasts near you would all be led in your direction. You would be hunted at all times by profound beasts and would never be able to sleep soundly or eat in peace."

"Good, because I wasn't planning on staying the night here!" Said Mesa confidently while cracking his knuckles.

"I like your confidence challenger. How about you show me another magnificent performance during this second part of the trial. Your objective during the second part of the trial is to kill 99,999 profound beasts within one year."
