Against The Gods With An Anime System

Chapter 77 - Tournament - Round of 32 - Day 2 - Night

"I won."

As Mesa said these words, everyone was quit and watching him with horror in their eyes. It wasn't until Ling Kun himself stood up and addressed Mesa himself. It was evident, that even he, was freaked out at Mesa's latest spectacle: "Junior Mesa! What is that hammer?! And how did you control the weather like that?!"

"It's very simple, Senior Ling. This hammer is called Mjolnir. And this hammer used to be the hammer of the God of Thunder, Thor, himself." Said Mesa. This revelation shocked everyone, including Ling Kun himself. Ever since Mesa had summoned that hammer, he left it lying everywhere, yet nobody was able to pick it up. Everyone thought it was a very heavy hammer with some weird mechanic that allows Mesa to summon it to his hand and that was why nobody could lift it up. But now, hearing that this hammer used to be from the God of Thunder, Thor, himself, everyone was shocked.

"If that hammer is the hammer of the God of Thunder, how did you manage to find it?!" Asked Ling Kun, clearly still in distress at Mesa's revelation.

"This hammer was granted to me by my master. As everyone must have noticed by now, I leave this hammer lying everywhere, not bothering to pick it up. The reason for that is, because Thor himself has placed an enchantment on this hammer. Making sure that only those who Mjolnir has deemed worthy, are capable of wielding it and Thor's power. Everyone who is unworthy is incapable of lifting up Mjolnir, no matter how strong they may be. In fact...." Said Mesa as he walked down the arena and placed Mjolnir on a table.

"I will hereby make a solemn vow: 'Everyone is allowed to test their worthiness to Mjolnir. All they have to do, is place their hand on its handle and lift it up. If anyone is worthy, they take Mjolnir for themselves.' If you can't lift up Mjolnir, don't bother putting in more strength. Mjolnir is capable of making itself heavier and heavier, to ensure that those who are unworthy, won't be wielding its power. And during the rest of this tournament, I will not be using Mjolnir anymore. Now, if you'll excuse me. I am going back to my room. I need to take a bath and get out of these bloodstained clothes that have been shredded." Said Mesa as he calmly walked to his room.

As he was walking back to his room, he heard Jasmine's voice in his head: "Hey! Are you sure that was a good idea?! What if someone is worthy of it?! Then you'll lose Mjolnir!"

"Ohh Jasmine, it's simple really. When I purchased Mjolnir, I made sure to add a feature that ensures that nobody, but me, is worthy of it. So, there is simply no one in this universe that can ever lift up Mjolnir. Ever! The only who could do be worthy of Mjolnir, is if somehow, Thor came to this universe and took back his hammer." Said Mesa as he calmly walked back to his room.

Back at the arena, after the monster had left and offered everyone a chance to have a weapon from the God of Thunder. Everyone was clamoring to be first, to take Mjolnir for themselves. Yet, nobody who tried was able to lift it up. People used every ounce of strength they had, but always failed.

Ling Kun, who had been silently watching Mesa walk back to his room, was all but silent in his heart. He was trying his best to make sense of Mesa, yet always came up short.

'Mesa Uchiha, what are you? Where did this hammer come from? And why are you not dead? I need to tell this to the Sword Master once I get back to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.' Thought Ling Kun to himself about Mesa.

Mu Tianbei, ignoring everything around him, walked to his son's body lying outside the arena. Picking up his body, he walks back to his courtyard and silently swears an oath: 'Mesa Uchiha, I will kill you. Even if it takes everything I have, I will kill you!'

After the chaos of Mesa's match had died down, the tournament continued on. The rest of the matches of the Round of 16 went on without a hitch. After everyone had competed, the roster for tomorrow's matches had been decided.

First: Heavenly Sword Villa's Ling Jie vs Heavenly Sword Villa's Ling Feiyu.

Second match: Heavenly Sword Villa's Ling Yun vs Frozen Cloud Asgard's Shui Wushuang.

Third match: Frozen Cloud Asgard's Xia Qingyue vs Xiao Sect's Xiao Kuanglei.

Fourth match: Blue Wind Imperial Family's Mesa Uchiha vs Burning Heaven Clan's Fen Juebi.

After everyone had gone back to their rooms. Chu Yueli went to Chu Yuechan's room. After what she saw today, she was absolutely convinced that there was some connection between her and Mesa Uchiha. And so, she decided to confront her sister about it.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"Elder Sister, I know you're in there. Please, open up the door. I need to talk to you." Said Chu Yueli as she knocked on Chu Yuechan's door. Less than a minute later, Chu Yuechan opened the door for her and she stepped in and closed the door, making sure that no one could hear them.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Asked Chu Yuechan.

"Let me get straight to the point. What is the connection between you and Mesa Uchiha?" Said Chu Yueli, stunning Chu Yuechan, who didn't know how to respond for a minute before she got herself together.

"What makes you think there is something between us. We don't know each other." Said Chu Yuechan in an emotionless voice she forcing.

"Elder Sister, do not try to fool me. I know there is something between the two of you. During the match today between Mesa Uchiha and Mu Xiongyan, you were getting anxious and your energy started getting chaotic. Even though you were trying to contain it, I noticed. And after that Mu Xiongyan threw that spear through Mesa Uchiha's c.h.e.s.t, you went crazy and you were just about to rush over to him and kill him. Don't try to deny this sister, I know you better than anyone else and I have seen this for myself! What does Mesa Uchiha have over you!" Said Chu Yueli, clearly worried about her sister.

"It must have been your imagination, because there is nothing between me and Mesa Uchiha." Said Chu Yuechan, still holding on to her story. To her big surprise, Chu Yueli came up to her and slapped her in the face. Stunned, Chu Yuechan placed her hand on her cheek, where Chu Yueli just hit her, and looked at her in a daze. She could see that for the first time in years, Chu Yueli looked angry and she had tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Sister! Do you think I'm blind?! I know you better than anyone else! Ever since you've returned to the Frozen Cloud Asgard a month ago, you've been acting strange. You've never wanted to come to the Tournament, but this time you've insisted on coming, but I just ignored it. But ever since the day that Mesa Uchiha came in flying like a dragon, you've always been acting strange! But during Mesa's match against Mu Xiongyan yesterday, I could sense your killing intent and I could see how you almost went mad! I know there is something between you and Mesa and I am certain he must have done something to you to make you act like this. I may have been cultivating the Frozen Heart Arts for years and I have managed to suppress my emotions for many years, but that doesn't mean that I have stopped caring about you! You are my sister! And I will do everything for you! So tell me now! What has Mesa Uchiha done to you?! If you tell me what he has done, I can help you against him! Elder Sister please, tell me! What has Mesa Uchiha done to you?!" Said Chu Yueli with tears streaming down her eyes. Seeing her sister suffering like this, Chu Yuechan felt a deep pain in her c.h.e.s.t and knew she couldn't keep her secret to herself anymore.

"He has done nothing to me. Instead he has done a lot for me. Check my profound entrances." Said Chu Yuechan as she stuck out her hand for Chu Yueli. Carefully checking her profound entrances, Chu Yueli was shocked to find that all 54 profound entrances were open, same as with Xia Qingyue.

"H-h-h-how?! This is not possible!" Said Chu Yueli, completely astonished.

"First thing you need to know with Mesa Uchiha, is that there is nothing impossible with him. And let me tell you what happened with me, that has led me to meeting him." Said Chu Yuechan as she started telling Chu Yueli what happened to her that led to her meeting Mesa. She told her about how she got poisoned, while searching for a treasure for Xia Qingyue. When she found out later that this poison was something she couldn't dispel with her Profound Strength, she went to the Black Moon Merchant Guild in Blue Wind Imperial City to buy a Devil's Flaming Blood Crystal, but found out that Mesa had just bought the last one. So when she confronted Mesa and told him that she wanted to buy that Devil's Flaming Blood Crystal, he told her that he couldn't sell it to her, because this Devil's Flaming Blood Crystal was incapable of curing her poison. In fact, it would even aggravate it. When she told him that he knew nothing about it, he told her everything about the poison she was suffering from and even what kind of a poison it was. But as she held on firmly to her beliefs and wanted that Devil's Flaming Blood Crystal, he broke it in front of her and absorbed its essence. In a very rare fit of rage, she rushed him without thinking. But to her major surprise, he overpowered her and placed his hand on her neck and immediately dispelled the poison out of her body and as a side bonus, gave her the Heavenly God Spiritual Veins.

Listening to her story, Chu Yueli was shocked. Not only did Mesa Uchiha overpower her elder sister, he even used that fraction of a second that his hand was on her neck to dispel the poison and even give her the Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins.

"But, how could he overpower you?! He is a mere level 5 Spirit Profound Realm practitioner. How has he been able to overpower you?!" Asked a shocked Chu Yueli.

"Because he is not. When I met him he was already at level 2 Sky Profound Realm. The reason that it seems like he is at level 5 Spirit Profound Realm, is because he has the ability to accurately adjust his own level of power, making it look like he is weaker than he actually is." Said Chu Yuechan.

"But how do know all this?!" Asked Chu Yueli, still shocked.

"After he dispelled the poison and granted me the Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins, I owed him a big favor. And so he told me that he was going on a trip for 6 months and he wanted me to accompany him." Said Chu Yuechan as she told Chu Yueli about Mesa's demand for granting her the Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins. She told her sister about everything that happened during these six months that she was with Mesa, living in their cabin in the woods.

"HE DID WHAT?! THAT BASTARD SEDUCED YOU!! I AM GONNA KILL HIM!" Fumed Chu Yueli in rage.

"No!! I love him! And he loves me! I will not allow you two to fight each other!" Said Chu Yuechan firmly and exerted her power over her sister.

"You… broke through! You broke through into the Emperor Profound Realm!" Said Chu Yueli.

"Yes and it's all thanks to Mesa. Sister, you will see for yourself what kind of a man Mesa is when he comes over later." Said Chu Yuechan.

"What! I will allow him to come into our courtyard and disturb us!" Said Chu Yueli.

"He won't disturb anyone, because he will teleport directly to me. Or more specifically, to this marking on the bracelet he gave me." Said Chu Yuechan.

"He can teleport! But that's impossible! Nobody can teleport!" Said Chu Yueli.

"I told you earlier didn't I. There is nothing impossible for Mesa Uchiha. And you will see for yourself what kind of a man he is. So for now, go and hide in the closet there and stay quiet. He will be over soon." Said Chu Yuechan as she pushed Chu Yueli in the closet and sat on the bed, waiting for Mesa to show up. Watching through a slit in the door, Chu Yueli saw her sister sit on the bed, patiently waiting for Mesa to show up. And 5 minutes later, Mesa suddenly shows up in the room, scaring Chu Yueli.

'He can really teleport!' Thought Chu Yueli as she watched Mesa suddenly show up in her sister's room. But to her major surprise, her sister got up from the bed with tears streaming down her face and marched up to Mesa.

*SL.A.P!!!*

Chu Yuechan slapped Mesa in the face and he stood there and took it. With tears streaming down her face, she stood in front of Mesa and started yelling at him: "You inconsiderate bastard! Do you have any idea just how worried I was watching you get hurt during your match! And when he threw that spear through your c.h.e.s.t, I felt like my own heart had shattered into a million pieces and I was just about to go and kill him myself! How could you do this to me! Didn't you say that you would be with me and that we would make the Frozen Cloud Asgard as strong as the Sacred Ground together! How can you put me through so much pain like this!"

As she was yelling at him, she also kept slapping him and punching him in the face. Mesa took all of it and didn't resist at all. After Chu Yuechan had tired herself out, she leaned in on Mesa's c.h.e.s.t, all the while she didn't stop crying. Wrapping his arms around her, Mesa tightly hugged her and with a sad look on his face he spoke to her: "You are right, I am an inconsiderate bastard. I am truly sorry for putting you through all this pain. Before the match started, I saw Mu Xiongyan father tell him to cripple me during my match against him and I decided to teach him and everyone else a lesson. I was being a selfish bastard when I decided to show him, that even though he could use every ounce of power he had and I stood there and took it, there was no way for him to kill me. I let my ego drive me to do this, without thinking about what those who I loved would feel like watching me get hurt like this. I am not using this to excuse my behavior, but I am really sorry for doing this to you. I really, really am."

Watching from the closet, Chu Yueli had never seen her sister like this. She had been crying and punching Mesa, all the while yelling at him. When it was all done, Mesa wrapped his arms around her and she wrapped hers around him. He started telling her how sorry he was about everything he did. When it was all done, she saw them kissing each other.

'So it is true. They really do love each other.'
