Chapter 12 - The Scarlet Dragon Mountain Training (1/2)
After Jasmine and Itachi had lunch and Jasmine had her dessert they started to talk to each other.
”I believe we started of on the wrong foot. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Itachi Uchiha. And I hope you have enjoyed lunch.” Itachi said to her first.
”It... It... was delicious.” Jasmine said in a small voice while blushing in an attempt to hide her embarrassment at her earlier behavior.
Looking at Jasmine act like a shy little girl was making it very hard for him to keep a straight face.
'Damn you adorable tsundere girl. Why must your adorableness be so damaging.' Itachi thought to himself while doing his best to keep a straight face.
”Uhmm.... Well I am glad you enjoyed lunch. There will be much more where that came from with desserts more delicious than you imagine.” Itachi told Jasmine who immediately perked up imagining all the delicious meals in the future.
”Well how about we first get to know each other. We are going to be together for a long time.”
”I am the one who found you in the forest with that terrible poison in your body that the Sky Poison Pearl wasn't able to purify immediately, so I linked our souls together and put your soul inside the Sky Poison Pearl since your body was a lost cause.”
”Thank you for doing that. I am Jasmine. Thank you for saving me from that poison. That poison is called the Absolute God Slaying Poison. Its a very rare very powerful poison that only the Sky Poison Pearl can purify. But as you have seen it can't be done immediately. As for the reason why I was poisoned. Its because I found this.” As Jasmine says that she shows a drop of blood that is faintly radiating a mysterious power.
”This is a drop of blood from the Evil God. A creation god from the Primordial Era and one of the last gods to have died. This drop of blood is his legacy that he left behind in this world. Those who absorb this drop of blood will gain the legacy that the Evil God left behind in this world. Those who absorb it will gain the Profound Veins of the Evil God and this will eliminate the host' previous Profound Veins and cultivation making him start all over again with cultivating and I couldn't do that to myself. Because this is basically on of the greatest treasures in existence I was poisoned by those who wanted to take this away from me and I escaped to this planet in search of the Sky Poison Pearl.”
”Thank you for telling me that. But I have no need for it.” Itachi tells Jasmine eliciting a surprised reaction from her.
”What do you mean you have no need for it? This drop of blood will give Profound Veins from one of the most powerful Gods ever.” Jasmine asked Itachi very curiously
”What I mean is that I have Profound Veins that, though normal, are absolutely unbendable and unbreakable. If the Evil Gods blood instead fused with my current Profound Veins that would have been fine but because the Evil Gods would instead try to erase my current Profound Veins and replace it, it's not possible for me to take it. And besides, I have a power right now with the potential to far, far, far surpass that of any known power right now. Both mortal and Divine.”
”Yeah, right. And how would you, a weak mortal from this lowly planet, have gotten a hold of such an amazing power?” Said Jasmine sarcastically to Itachi with obvious disbelief.
”Its because I am not from this universe. I am from an entirely different universe. I died in that universe and was reborn in this one.” Said Itachi with a straight face.
'Since I am going to become the strongest of this universe anyways and Jasmine and I will be inseparable for years to come. I might as well tell her the truth about me so that she will tell me everything about her and maybe even give me some of those powers she has.' Itachi thought to himself
After Itachi told her the truth about his origins. Jasmine couldn't believe what she was hearing. This is a story that nobody would come up with unless they are insane.
”I don't believe you. First you tell me that you have a power that can far surpass any power in existence and your telling me that you are from another universe. Do you think I'm an idiot. If you truly are what you say you are, then show me proof.” Jasmine said to Itachi with a hint of anger at the sheer ridiculousness of his story.
Seeing Jasmine get angry was to be expected. His story was a story that nobody in their right mind would believe. In this world with nigh immortal cultivators, humans reaching divine strengths and dragons and other types of monsters, this story of Itachi was one that was truly the most ridiculous of all. But since its the truth and Itachi was here to shake this very universe down to its very core it would be hard to believe at first.
”Of course I can show you. I wouldn't tell this story without any proof. [ 'SYSTEM SHOW YOURSELF']”
Just as Itachi said that the system suddenly appears inside the inner world of the Sky Poison Pearl. It looked like a white colored sun suddenly appeared inside the inner world of the Sky Poison Pearl hanging overhead.
”System introduce yourself to Jasmine and tell her my backstory.”
Thus the system started telling Jasmine the backstory of Itachi. How he came from another world and died. How his universe and this universe are all but part of an infinite amount of universes that all have their own gods, their own way of life, their own humans etc. How the multiverse has chosen him to go to this world and become the strongest for its own entertainment. How he is able to buy powers, weapons, healing items etc. from all kinds of different worlds and utilize them in this world.
(AN: In case you didn't know the system is forbidden from mentioning God so it has been replaced with the multiverse)
