Against The Gods With An Anime System 102 Mesa Versus The Lich King

"What is that thing?! Where did it come from?!" Said Jasmine in distress.

"Big sis, what is the matter?" Asked Ophis, who was caught off guard by Jasmine's sudden outburst. Pointing her finger at the Lich King, Ophis looked at it and was getting angry herself. Though its power was nothing compared to her own, the feeling that she got from it was not one she liked.

"That thing over there! What is that thing and how did it get here?!" Said Jasmine.

"Big sis, is that not a devil from this world?" Asked Ophis.

"I don't know. There shouldn't be any devils left." Said Jasmine.

Right after this, they saw the Lich King start bringing the dead back to life. After seeing this, Jasmine was certain about one thing. This is not a devil from this world. But the big question remaining was: 'How did it get in this world?'

But seeing as how the Lich King was about to go and kill Xia Qingyue and Mesa, Jasmine decided to ignore the question of how it got here and wanted to go out and help Mesa.

"Ophis, let's go! That thing wants to kill Mesa! We have to help him!" Said Jasmine hurriedly as she grabbed Ophis and wanted to leave the Sky Poison Pearl. But to her major surprise, she found out that she couldn't exit the Sky Poison Pearl. Wondering what was going on, she suddenly heard Mesa's voice.

"Didn't I tell you to stay in there Jasmine. I am gonna get that Infinity Stone and I need you to stay in there." Said Mesa as he was getting up.

"Mesa! You're awake! What happened?" Asked Jasmine.

"Overexertion. That's what happened. I am using Avalon and Vergil's instant healing powers way more than normal right now to heal myself. And there's no need for you both to worry, I'll take care of that thing." Said Mesa as he walked over to Xia Qingyue and patted her on the head, taking over the fight against the Lich King.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With its light piercing through the skies, Mesa knew that his barrier he'd set up was destroyed. Thus he had very little time to finish this fight, before other people arrived on the scene. Focusing his attention back on the Lich King, he saw him blocking out the light of Excalibur while screaming in pain, but he knew that this would only end up angering him even more than actually damage him.

Once the light had faded away, the Lich King furiously looked at Mesa and saw the sword s.h.i.+ning with a golden light in his hands and spoke angrily in his characteristic echo voice: "YOU! That sword! That is not Ashbringer! Where did you get that sword!"

Holding Excalibur with both hands to his side, Mesa just smiles smugly at the Lich King, which further infuriates his, and proceeds to tell him: "You're right, this isn't Ashbringer. It's far, far worse, for you at least. This sword is Excalibur. The strongest holy sword and the pinnacle of holy swords. For a creature of such dark evil such as yourself, this sword is your worst nightmare, your Achilles heel so to speak."

Infuriated, the Lich King launches himself at Mesa and attacks him with Frostmourne. Mesa, using his Sharingans and his Observation Haki, could just keep up with the Lich King's speed. Using the Power Stone to increase his strength, he meets the Lich King head on. Putting his instant healing factor and Avalon into overdrive to keep the strain from using the Power Stone away, Mesa clashes with the Lich King. Their clash causing the s.p.a.ce around them to tremble with ma.s.sive gust of wind blowing away everything that wasn't bolted to the ground. From a distance, their clash caused both of their aura's to envelop them in a coc.o.o.n that were pus.h.i.+ng against each other. Mesa aura had a golden s.h.i.+ne to it and the Lich King's aura had a crystal blue with black s.h.i.+ne to it.

In the distance, people could feel their clash. They felt the evil darkness of the Lich King and the holy light of Mesa using Excalibur clash against each other.

Back at the fight. Mesa and the Lich King were pus.h.i.+ng against each other with all their might, trying to overpower the other. Swinging their swords against each other with all their might, they fought like wild lions trying to kill each other with everything they had. Every time their swords clashed, the s.p.a.ce around them would tremble from their violent clash, ma.s.sive gales would travel across the land and earthquakes were devastating were felt many, many felt away. After a while, they both were thrown back by the violence of their clash.

'G.o.dd.a.m.n! I knew he was strong, but this is just ridiculous! Even with that instant healing and Avalon working overtime, my body still hurts like h.e.l.l from having to use so much power from the Power Stone. I'll have to finish this with my next attack. And I know exactly what to do.' Thought Mesa, formulating a plan to end this fight quickly as he got back up on his feet.

"You! Once I am done with you! I shall torture you, and you will beg for mercy and I will deny you! your anguished cries will be testament to my unbridled power! I will keep you alive until the end and make you watch as I torture and kill everyone you have ever loved in front of you! You will beg for mercy as I make them my slaves and remake the rest of this world into my image!" Yelled the Lich King in rage.

"How about you stop talking all this bulls.h.i.+t and start showing me that so called 'unbridled power' of yours." Said Mesa mockingly, enraging the Lich King.

"You insolent wretch! Suffer the pain of a thousand deaths!" Yelled the Lich King.

Next thing he knew, the Lich King had suddenly appeared in front of Mesa, swinging his sword downward. For Mesa, this all happened at a speed he could just barely register with his Sharingans. This proved that during their earlier clash, the Lich King was holding back his powers. As Frostmourne inches closer to Mesa's face, he barely managed to squeeze the Infinity Gauntlet and use the Power Stone to cause a shockwave that blasted the Lich King back. All of this happened in a tiny fraction of a second. If Mesa was just a tiny bit later, he would been hit by the Lich King's attack.

Blown back, the Lich King quickly got back up and wanted to charge at Mesa again. But to his major surprise, he saw countless golden portals around him. Just as he was wondering what those things were, golden chains start shooting out of those portals and wrapping themselves around him. The golden chains wrapped around his limbs, torso, neck and his weapon, ensuring that he can't move no matter what. Wanting to get rid of these chains, the Lich King desperately struggles to get them off. But to his surprise, no matter how much he tried, it was like his body was completely sapped of its strength.

"What is this?! What are these chains?!" Bellowed out the Lich King while he desperately struggling against the binding effect of the golden chains, but to no avail.

In the midst of his desperate struggle, he heard a condescending chuckle. Looking at the source, he saw Mesa standing back up and chuckling at him. Chuckling condescendingly at him, Mesa proceeded to tell the Lich King what happened: "Well, well, well. Looks like you just activated my trap card."

"You filthy worm! What are you talking about?! What are these chains?!"

"Those chains are called Enkidu: The Chains of Heaven. They are a special type of chain, whose function it is to bind the G.o.ds and sap their strength. Seeing as how you are a G.o.d-like being, these chains, together with Excalibur truly are the bane of your existence. And now…" Said Mesa as he grabbed Excalibur with both hands and pointed its tip towards him.

"…it's time to finish this!" With its tip pointed towards the Lich King, Mesa thrusted Excalibur at the Lich King while at the same time charging it with ma.s.sive amounts of power from the Power Stone, making it to light up in its blinding holy light and calling out its name.

EXCALIBUR!!!!!

Releasing its holy light in a Kamehamehlike beam that travelled for many, many miles, Mesa obliterates the Lich King and wipes out all traces of him from this world. Their battle had ravaged the land around them. All around him, giant holes and ma.s.sive crevices dotted the landscape. Some holes were filled with mud as underground water seeped to the surface. Knowing that he had no time stay here seeing as how the rest of people who came here with them, would start converging on this spot, he made a quick exit. Opening a another golden portal, but this one much bigger than every other one at this point and brings out Vimana, the flying throne stored within the Gate of Babylon.

Looking around, he finds Articuno and Xia Qingyue sitting a few miles away behind some rocks, probably as a means to protect themselves from the violent clash between Mesa and the Lich King. Using his String-String Fruit powers, he fas.h.i.+oned two ropes from his hands that he used to wrap around Articuno and Xia Qingyue and pulled them back onto Vimana. And immediately after, Mesa took off into the sky and made sure to get as away from this place as possible while using its optical camouflage to avoid any detection. Not even five minutes later, the first person, Ling Yuefeng, shows up and looks around horrified at the aftermath of Mesa battle with the Lich King.

'What in heaven's name happened here?! What kind of power could have caused all this devastation?! I need to somehow contact the Four Sacred Grounds and tell them about this! They are the only ones who are even remotely capable of investigating this!' Thought Ling Yuefeng to himself in distress looking at the devastation around him and feeling the remnants of the power of the Lich King and Excalibur. Just thinking about the t.i.tans that just fought here made his skin crawl with fear. He knew that, had he gotten here five minutes earlier, he would have been killed in a second without ever being able to fight back.

Pretty soon, everyone else started showing up. Looking at their faces, it was evident that they were also scared here and wanted to know what happened here. Looking around, Ling Yuefeng saw that everyone that entered the Heaven Secret Basin Realm was present. Everyone except the Burning Heaven Clan group, the Xiao Sect group and the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Sect group. After explaining everything he knew and gathering the information from what the other groups encountered, Ling Yuefeng was now more determined to have the Four Sacred Grounds investigate what happened here.

Back in the skies, Mesa and Xia Qingyue were flying through the skies with no one saying a word. After a while, Mesa decided to speak up first: "Well, that was something wasn't it?"

Xia Qingyue turned her head and looked Mesa deeply in the eyes without saying a word for a few minutes, before she opened her mouth: "Mesa, what is really going on? What was that… that THING! That Demonic monster! Nothing you said makes sense! What is really going on here?"

"….u003cDeep inhaleu003e…Ohh boy. I knew this would happen sooner or later, but not this soon" Muttered Mesa to himself before he looked at Xia Qingyue and opened his mouth.
