Against The Gods With An Anime System 124 Enuma Elish!

After a very awkward morning, with Jasmine waking to see Mesa and Ophis kissing, while she lay naked in the bed with them. In the end, Mesa was forced to agree to let Ophis sleep with him in the same bed and let her switch places with Jasmine every other day. After all was and done, Mesa cursed himself for being such a spineless coward that he couldn't say no to Ophis. All it took was just one single angry pouty look from her and he relented. When Jasmine accused Mesa of cowardice, he challenged her to say no to Ophis, when she gave her the same angry pouty look. In the end, she apologized to Mesa, for even she was unable to say no to her. Ophis, the Infinite Dragon G.o.d, the most powerful being in the Primal Chaos Dimension, getting her way using nothing but her charms to worm into people's hearts and take away their ability to say no.

In the afternoon, after they all had filled their bellies and had a few rounds playing Call of Duty Warzone, they took off towards the Heaven Secret Basin Realm. Or rather, Mesa used Yamato to slice open a portal towards it. Coming out of the portal, the three of them arrived in the same winter wonderland that Mesa was 14,5 months ago. Giving the Yamato to Jasmine to hold on to, he takes out the golden key to the treasury, Bab-Ilu, to retrieve Ea from the deepest parts of the Gate of Babylon.

But before he used the key to retrieve Ea, he jerked his head to the left and looked far into the distance. He felt multiple presences in the distance. And from the feel of it, they were in the Divine Stage. Jasmine too was looking in the same direction as Mesa and felt the same presences he felt.

With a deep frown on her face, she asked the question that was on their minds: "Those presences. They are from the G.o.d's Realm. No doubt about it. But why and how are they here?"

"I don't know, but let's go and hide somewhere. I'll use the Mind Stone to read their minds and find out why and how they got here." Said Mesa urgently and led them all to hide in a nearby cave. Sitting down and activating the Mind Stone, he started to read the minds of those presences he felt. And from the looks of it, they were here on a mission.

It was during the Lich King's appearance. His appearance in the Primal Chaos Dimension had sent shockwaves through it. In the Heavenly Mystery Realm, a special Realm in the G.o.d's Realm that is famous for making predictions about the future through divination and the most famous seekers of knowledge in the entire G.o.d's Realm. They are famous for giving prediction that are always spot on and as long as they are paid their price, a very steep price, anyone can come and get the information that they want. Unlike other Star Realm in the G.o.d's Realm, they are not powerful at all. But because their information is always accurate, everyone in the G.o.d's Realm treats them with reverence and respect, even the G.o.d Emperors of the King Realms are respectful towards them. At the top of the Heavenly Mystery Realm are the three Old Ones.

When the Lich King appeared, they were suddenly vomiting blood and shaking in fear. The malevolence and aura of death and destruction that permeated the Lich King was unlike anything they had ever felt. His intrusion into the Primal Chaos Dimension was felt by them, and his mastery over death had broken anything they thought they knew over the power of darkness. And so, they went and called the G.o.d Emperors to come to them, stating that it was an emergency that could decide the fate of the G.o.d's Realm as they knew it.

As their messages went out to all the G.o.d Emperors and they waited for the a.s.sembly, they kept all their senses trained on this intruder and they could feel the sinister presence of whatever it was. But to their great surprise, this sinister presence had soon faded away. But they couldn't determine how this sinister presence had faded away.

Days later, when all the G.o.d Emperors had been a.s.sembled, they told them that they felt the sudden emergence of a presence of death in the Primal Chaos Dimension. They told them that this sinister presence had a mastery over death and darkness that outcla.s.sed anything the Devils had ever managed. They were able to determine that this sinister presence had emerged in a pocket dimension, a left over pocket dimension from the Age of the G.o.ds. But just as fast as this sinister presence had emerged, it faded away. But they had no idea how. Surprising absolutely no one, every G.o.d Emperor present was shocked and had pledged that they would keep this information a secret at all cost and they went to work trying to find a way to reach this pocket dimension. It took them more than a year of concentrated effort to finally crack the sh.e.l.l that kept this pocket dimension hidden from the rest of the Primal Chaos Dimension. Once that was done, they sent out a team of elders and disciples from all over the G.o.d's Realm to investigate what is going on. What they found there, were Profound Beasts at the pitiful low Mortal Stage level. With just their aura alone, all the Profound Beast ran from them, and since they more important things to work on, they ignored all the Profound Beasts.

Looking further for the source of the sinister presence, they came upon a throne of ice. But the mere looks of this throne gave them the creeps. The four stone obelisks carved with runes of powerful dark magic surrounded the Frozen Throne. Bridges of pale blue, translucent energy stretch from the obelisk platforms to the Frozen Throne. Jets of frost periodically spew blue flames into the air, and there are glyphs carved into the rocky ground surrounding the Frozen Throne.

It wasn't much later that a tear in s.p.a.ce was opened some ways away from the Frozen Throne where they all stood, that Mesa, Jasmine and Ophis came out.

Opening his eyes, Mesa had read all the minds of those present and knew the entire story of why they were here. Sharing the story with Jasmine and Ophis, they had debated whether to continue on with their plan. If the Heavenly Mystery Realm could detect the presence of the Lich King, then it would be certain that they would feel the destruction brought on by Mesa using Ea. And if they could detect Ea, then there was a chance that it could lead them to him and the Blue Pole Star and bring everyone in danger. Granted, with Ophis present, that danger wouldn't be very great. But it would bring the Blue Pole Star in the crosshairs of the G.o.d's Realm and that was something he wanted to prevent at all cost.

And this back and forth went on. With on the one hand leaving this dimension intact and the G.o.d's Realm pract.i.tioners as well, but inviting the risk of them discovering the Blue Pole Star. And on the other hand, destroying this dimension using Ea and having the Heavenly Mystery Realm catch on to it and also risk the G.o.d's Realm discovering the Blue Pole Star.

Neither was a good option, until Jasmine came up with a suggestion that would change everything: "Maybe, just maybe, you can use the Mind Stone to delve into every mind in the universe and change their memories. Shouldn't its omnipotent power of the mind be able to alter other peoples' memories to the users' desires. And if not, maybe you can use Kotoamatsukami in conjunction with it and then alter everyone's minds."

"Hey yeah! That's a good idea. Why didn't I think about it earlier?" Said Mesa mockingly to himself. Using the Mind Stone again, this time he went and connected it to someone else's mind. Someone he knew. Someone who was a near endless source of entertainment for him to mess with. Someone like Fen Juecheng, a.k.a. s.h.i.+nji. As a test, he tried to change his memories just a tiny bit. He wanted to make him think that he had green tea for breakfast that day, rather than black tea. And moments later, it worked. He changed his memories. He could change other peoples' memories with the Mind Stone. And with this nugget of information, his choice was set.

Exiting the cave where they hid, he raised the treasuries key, Bab-Ilu, vertically into the air and turned it. After that, parts around its grip begin to rotate, start to glow, and then settle. It releases a large, labyrinth-like, red pattern, seemingly crimson cuneiform lettering, that can be seen covering the sky from a great distance away, and then it recedes into a small orb from which he pulls out Ea for the first time into the Primal Chaos Dimension.

Immediately, storm clouds start to gather above him and black bolts of lightning rain down on him. But with just a tiny bit of exertion on Mesa's part, a reddish torrent of energy spews out of Ea and all the black bolts of lightning are destroyed and the storm clouds that gathered above him dispersed instantly.

Seeing the power of Ea, Mesa couldn't help but snicker with delight at seeing it firsthand and using it. Jasmine who stood next to him, was beyond shocked. Though warned about Ea and its capabilities. The moment it appeared in the world, she tried looking at it. Only for a sense of dread to come over her and her senses to distort and with a ma.s.sive headache, she turned away from it. And true to Mesa's warning, the moment Ea appeared, the heavens immediately tried to retaliate against its unnatural existence. But with but a single swipe, the heaven's retaliation failed.

"Now then! Time for Ea's debut!" Donning the Boosted Gear's Scale Mail armor, he flies away at top speed towards the G.o.d's Realm pract.i.tioners in the distance, with Jasmine and Ophis following closely behind him.

POV G.o.d's Realm pract.i.tioners.

Once they had located the Frozen Throne, they knew they were at the source of sinister presence that entered the Primal Chaos Dimension. The Frozen Throne was unlike anything they had ever seen. Four obelisks surrounded it, with weird letters on that gave off a strange and dark power. Surrounded by multiple spikes of ice that shoot out jets of blue flames and pale blue bridges of translucent stretching out into the sky. Whatever this was, it was something unknown and they were the first to lay eyes on it. Whilst the disciples were busy relaying the information back to the G.o.d's Realm, doc.u.menting the letters around it and capturing images with the Imagery Jades they brought along with them.

But whilst they were busy, they felt something else happen that they were all too familiar with. The lightning of tribulation. This meant that there was someone here that was about to break through the Divine Tribulation Realm, into the Divine Spirit Realm. Looking at the stormclouds gathering above that person, something was off. The stormclouds above were gathering at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed. Soon enough, the clouds were many, many dozens of miles big. And when the lightning of tribulation finally hit, hundreds of bolts of black lightning of tribulation all struck towards the same spot. This didn't look like a tribulation, but like an act of vengeance by the heavens themselves. Whoever of whatever managed to infuriate the heavens like this, their fates were sealed. Nothing and/or no one can survive this much lightning of tribulation. Forget about being crippled. This is instant death, no matter how one looks at it.

But then the next moment, it happened. A red torrent of energy was suddenly unleashed that destroyed all the lightning of tribulation and dispersed all the stormclouds that gathered. Whatever that was, it blew away the wrath of the heavens like child's play, which is impossible. Not even when the G.o.ds were still alive, was the wrath of the heavens something that could be blown away. Even the G.o.ds feared the wrath of the heavens. So whatever it was that blew away the wrath of the heavens, it's here and it is even worse than the Frozen Throne and the sinister presence they came here to investigate. It carried with it the power of the Crimson Crack. A mysterious crack in the Primal Chaos wall that emits the power of a world outside the Primal Chaos. A world of endless calamity and destruction.

And like that, all the Elders present started ordering a full retreat. Everyone was bunching up in groups according to their place of origins and were preparing teleportation formations to flee immediately. When panic had stricken and everyone was rus.h.i.+ng to get out, a voice boomed across the sky.

"To all you G.o.d's Realm pract.i.tioners! h.e.l.lo! And Goodbye!"

Looking up in the sky, three figures were visible. A little girl with black hair, a woman with red hair whose aura was similar to the Star G.o.ds holding a sword and a figure in a red suit of dragon like armor with two dragon wings behind him. But in this figure's hand was something none dared to dream of. Looking like a sword, but completely unlike any sword they have ever seen before. While it has a grip, handguard, and is the same length as a longsword, the section that should contain a blade deviates from the normal form of an edged weapon. The "blade" itself and the tip of the sword, spun in a spiral shape, are dull. It has the shape of a cylindrical, drill-shaped pillar made up of three segments engraved with crimson lettering of an unknown language. And it was this sword that contained the power of the Crimson Crack.

This red cladded figure raises this sword high up in the air and with a swing downward calls out…
