Chapter 125 - The Aftermath (1/2)
ENUMA ELISH!
Ea's three segments spinning alternately to each other. The middle segment spinning clockwise and the top and bottom segment spinning counter clockwise. Slowly, Ea begins to swallow and compress the winds. And with each revolution, the segments spin faster and faster and swallow and compress more wind. Until the generated wind pressure simulates spatial rends to create an artificial space-time dislocation that acts as a crushing torrent capable of pulverizing anything it comes across. Grinding at the laws of space with its power, it creates a rip in space that extends from not only the earth, but also to the sky and atmosphere.
And with a mighty swing downwards, he unleashed the torrent of power that rends apart everything in its path. The entire Heaven Secret Basin Realm, the ground beneath and the sky above, all were being ripped apart wherever the winds of destruction came, opening an abyss that kept swallowing the rest of the world. Reducing all to 'the nothingness' that was before creation. The teleportation formation that they set up all collapsed, the Sound Transmission Jades all ceased to function all together. In an act of desperation, they all fled like scared wildlife, hoping to escape the destruction all together. But in the end, no matter how far they fled, the destruction caught up to them and annihilation was all that awaited them.
Mesa, Jasmine and Ophis, still in the same spot, were looking at the aftermath of Ea's destruction with various different mindsets. Jasmine was horrified at the devastation caused by Ea, its power very reminiscent of the Crimson Crack and of the fear she felt when she looked at it. Mesa was enthralled by it instead. For him, it was like looking at a piece of art that captured his attention and didn't let go. Ophis on the other hand, looked at the abyss left behind and felt something in it resonate within her. While she and Mesa were enthralled by its sight, Jasmine quickly came to her senses and shaking Mesa and Ophis out of their daze, she handed him the Yamato, so he could slice open a portal back to where they came from.
Once back, after a long moment of silence, Jasmine was the one to finally break the silence: ”That sure was something. Even though you told me what Ea could do. I still had my doubts about it. But now that I witnessed it firsthand, I just… wow! Just wow!”
Hearing Jasmine describe the power of Ea put a huge smile on Mesa's face: ”I know! It's f.u.c.k.i.n.g amazing! Seeing truly is believing like they say! Hahahaha…!!”
While Jasmine and Mesa were busy with each other, Ophis, still in her daze, grabbed Ea out of Mesa's hand and stared at it intently. Looking at Ophis stare at Ea so intently, Jasmine and Mesa were honestly a bit weirded out. So after carefully taking Ea out of Ophis' hands and returning it into the Gate of Babylon, Mesa asked her what was wrong. And his answer was one he did not expect.
”Ophis, are you OK? You seem a bit out of it.”
”The Dimensional Gap.”
Hearing this, Jasmine had a 'what?' kind of look on her face. While Mesa had a 'what?!' kind of look on his face.
”What is the Dimensional Gap?” Asked Jasmine curiously, but her question was immediately overturned by Mesa's sudden shock.
”Ophis, you just said the Dimensional Gap! Where did you sense it?!”
”Back there. When you used that sword, Ea. When you destroyed that pocket dimension. That abyss felt just like the Dimensional Gap. And that sword, Ea, uses the power of the Dimensional Gap.” Said Ophis much to Mesa's amazement. But before he could comment on it, Jasmine had her own little tidbit of information to share.
”I don't know what this Dimensional Gap is that you're talking about. But what I sensed in that abyss and in Ea was the power of the Crimson Crack.”
”Ohh really?! Well that changes everything!” Said Mesa. But looking at Jasmine and Ophis, it was evident that they didn't know what the other was talking about, they explained to each other what the Dimensional Gap and the Crimson Crack were.
”So you saying, that this Dimensional Gap is a place of 'nothingness'. A world of void that exists in between the worlds of the living. And it is here where Ophis was born.” Stated Jasmine.
”Yes, that is correct. And when I used Enuma Elish to destroy the Heaven Secret Basin Realm, I used the power of Ea to reduce that world to the 'nothingness' that existed before creation. But apparently, this 'nothingness' is the same as the 'nothingness' in which Ophis was born. And apparently, it's also the same as the 'nothingness' that exists in the world outside the Primal Chaos Dimension, through that Crimson Crack you mentioned.” Said Mesa.
”Mesa, this resemblance cannot be just a coincidence. There has to be some correlation between the Crimson Crack and the Dimensional Gap.” Said Jasmine.
”I agree.”
