Chapter 33 - Back to Civilization part 2 (1/2)
”I saw him in your memory. And he asked me to be your friend and I said yes. He told me to tell you that you should take good care of me and give me all the doughnuts, candies, chocolates and cookies that I want. And then he told me that he has a surprise for you at the Azure Dragon Trial.”
”Huh…... Did he now? Well I know the One Above All already knows that I would take good care of you.” Said Itachi
'I wonder what kind of surprise he has for me.' Thought Itachi
”Alright Ophis, we need to talk. You are, as of this very moment, the strongest being in this universe. Nobody, not even the left over gods who somehow managed to survive can stand up to you. If anyone in this universe finds out about you, there will be chaos and mayhem. And I really don't want to think about what is gonna happen to the people of this planet. So can you promise me that you won't use your powers, unless we are in great danger and I ask you for your help.” Said Itachi.
”Ok, I promise. But why?” asked Ophis.
”Because the gods and the devils have died out a long, long time ago in this universe. And in their place came mortals who have inherited their powers. Ever since then, the mortals who took over have come very close to gaining the power of the gods, but they were never able to truly get it. So, those mortals have become very desperate to gain that power. And so, if they discover you. They will do whatever they can to get their hands on you and I will never allow that to happen. Do you understand?” said Itachi to which Ophis nodded. At that moment the door to the trial grounds finally opened.
”Ahh, challenger. It has been fun having such a wonderful challenger here, but I'm afraid this is where we must part ways. I wish you good luck in the years ahead of you.” Said the Phoenix Spirit before Itachi and Ophis suddenly found themselves outside the trial grounds.
”Alright than. Ophis, can you can in the Sky Poison Pearl. I'm sure you know how. Once you get in there, theirs another of mine inside right now. Her name is Jasmine and she is very nice, albeit a little stubborn. But I'm sure you two will be best friends. And this way you will always be by my side without people seeing you. Quite convenient if you ask me.” Said Itachi to which Ophis nodded and disappeared into the Sky Poison Pearl.
Jasmine was sitting at a table with a cup of tea and some cookies, reading one the books she just got. All of sudden Ophis appears inside the Sky Poison Pearl, causing Jasmine to look up to her with a look that says 'Who is that?'.
”Hey Ddraig, do you know who that girl is that just came in here?” asked Jasmine.
”Yes, that is Ophis.” Said Ddraig.
”Ohh.... Ophis?? Ophis?? Why does that name sound so familiar?.....{drinks some tea while thinking} ...…. PFFFFFFFFFF!!!! *COUGH*…. *COUGH*…. *COUGH*…. WAIT!! YOU MEAN THAT OPHIS?!” yelled Jasmine out in total panic.
”Yes, THAT OPHIS!” said Ddraig.
Hearing that this little, unassuming girl is THE Ouroboros Dragon, one of the, if not the strongest being from Ddraig's world, a being whose ENORMOUS STRENGTH is on par with the Ancestral God herself made Jasmine so fearful that she just fainted from shock.
A little while later as she woke up, thinking it was all a dream, she stood back up and looked around only to find out that it wasn't a dream. There she was, Ophis, the Ouroboros Dragon, the single strongest being in this world right now whose strength is on par with the Ancestral God, eating her cookies and drinking her tea like it was the most normal thing in the world. When Ophis turned around and looked straight at her, she felt fear like no other, she felt like a helpless baby deer watching the jaws of a massive tiger clamp down around her throat. And then she spoke the words she never would have expected someone of her caliber to speak in a trillion years.
”Cookies, they were delicious. Do you have more?” said Ophis.
”Hehe... hehehehe.... hehehehehehehehehehe... {nervous breakdown laughter continues on}” It was on this day that Jasmine decided to just give up trying to bring any semblance of reason to Itachi and his actions. It was on this day that she just decided to go with the flow and see what else Itachi would pull out the 'magic hat' that was the system. While Jasmine was having her nervous breakdown and subsequent life changing decision, Ophis was just looking at her with her trademark '?' look.
Itachi was on his way back to the Phoenix Clan to remove their curses and be on his way to Blue Wind Imperial City. After walking for a while, he finally arrived at the Phoenix Clan village and he was immediately greeted with a crowd who rushed him asking him if he made it and if he found a way to remove their curse. Seeing him getting swarmed by the villagers, the village leader, Feng Baichuan, quickly comes in between Itachi and the villagers in order to diffuse this situation.
