The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

The lightning was unstoppable, destroying the longhorn beetle's body, and the longhorn beetle seemed to have no intention of surviving, only staring at the appearing Manju with hateful eyes.

This was just ordinary lightning, and the Heavenly Beetle didn't need to pay it any mind. With its beastly and divine principles, it could deny, distort, and trample on things made up of the principles of the earth.

But what broke him was the lightning that was wrapped in divine power. Therefore, its shell, made of divine energy, could not even stop it and was easily broken, even becoming fuel.

The longhorn beetle let out a mournful cry, also calling for endless lightning.

It was impossible to count with the naked eye; thousands upon thousands of lightning bolts appeared every instant, and there were probably hundreds of millions of bolts illuminating the sky at that moment.

This was lightning that seemed to descend on the day of the world's end, but even so, the light that swallowed up the sky itself and enveloped everything in sight could not conceal the lightning that was tearing apart the body of the longhorn beetle.

“What a grand funeral song! I will grant you permission to offer this funeral song to your master.”

Manju raised his hands and waved them, as if conducting the performance he was speaking of, even though it was just endless lightning.

The lightning finally fell as permitted, but the lightning that was supposed to turn the city and everything around it into wasteland and ashes could only burn the tops of some trees not far away to ashes.

The longhorn beetle could no longer take any more steps, not even lift its foot to move forward. This was the last howling hurricane left behind, which was ended by lightning.

"Farewell, High Priest of the Goddess."

After the celestial beetle collapsed, Manjus was able to continue forward to the ruins of the Ishtar Temple.

Harley, the high priestess, knelt amidst the ruins, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.

“It’s you… Lady Ishtar! If only I could… I could do even more…”

Manshu walked forward step by step and spoke to the girl who was crying in a calm voice.

"With such abundant tears, she could probably become a girl playing the role of Tralock at a festival, and her crying voice is quite good too."

“I am…I am the high priest appointed by Lady Ishtar…I will not impersonate any other god.”

Harley slightly misunderstood what Manju meant and looked up angrily.

"This is trivial. Your loyalty is commendable, but unfortunately, my patience has been exhausted by your master."

So I don't have time to leave you here to grieve. Let's make a choice: will you launch a desperate attack on me, or will you choose to rationally retreat and save your own life?

Manju looked at Harley with interest and spoke to her, without moving forward, simply waiting for the girl's reply.

“My mission has been ruined by you… I have never been able to do anything for Lady Ishtar, so let me do one last thing.”

Harley didn't have much hope for her life to begin with, otherwise she wouldn't have lost control and chosen to give up resisting when Hummingbaba was summoned.

And now Ishtar truly is all she has; without the goddess's command, she would hardly have any hope of conceiving.

"I understand. Then I will allow you to end your life in battle and let you merge into the final twilight."

Manju promised, flicking blue flames from his hand. He intended to use the flames to ignite the girl in front of him; this was a sufficient sacrifice.

"I command you by Command Spell to avenge Lady Ishtar with all your might!"

(9) Harley also used up all the remaining Command Seals in her hand. This was an order, and also a final attack launched with magical enhancement.

The four enormous Humbaba immediately sprang into action, unleashing seven colors of calamity light upon Manjushri ahead.

The eight calamities, with their fiery tornadoes and ice walls formed by freezing currents, unleashed a plague-infested attack.

"Calamity cannot defeat me, let alone calamity inflicted on others. However, as long as I do this, it is not a meaningless thing. At least it is worthy of praise until death."

(4) Manju did not try to avoid it, but let the light of the calamity strike him.

All those forces ultimately landed on the obsidian mirror worn on Manshu's chest, but the smoky obsidian mirror remained unmoved.

All of this was indeed a meaningless and futile attack; this calamity did not even have the power to shake the sun.

0 Then, the obsidian mirror emitted a reflection, and the same light flew out. Humbaba immediately tried to dodge, but it was still too late.

Although the demon barely managed to avoid the core, one of Fenbaba's arms and two mechanical legs were vaporized just now.

Finbaba collapsed to the ground, only able to prop himself up with his arms, unable to mount any effective attack.

Manju merely shook the smoke mirror in his hand, and the swirling smoke was about to transform into crimson divine lightning, delivering the final blow to Humbaba.

"Although it's a bit much to ask you to stop now, I have to get here."

Golden chains flew in from the side; the chains that had once bound the Bull of Heaven formed a massive wall to block the incoming divine lightning.

“Enkidu… That’s perfect, it’ll save me some trouble and I can take care of it all at once.”

We won't ask any further questions or make any announcements. Your Master won't make many choices, and neither will you, so just perish.

Manju showed no politeness and turned around to unleash his own brilliance.

"Go and enjoy the offerings I have made, Goddess Sekhmet."

Golden sand gathered on the ground from nowhere, and as Manju spoke, the sand rose up to form the shape of a lion.

The dazzling golden lion reappeared on this land, and the scorching sunlight was unleashed mercilessly, bringing irreversible destruction to this land.

Sekhmet had just suffered a terrible ordeal, being killed time and time again by Ishtar's warhammer. Even though he could be resurrected, he could never relive the pain.

Therefore, this anger naturally needed a place and a place to be vented, and this forest naturally became the world where it was released.

The intense aura of Ishtar lingered on the collapsed temple, and the lion of the Golden Tribe transformed directly into the form that had once destroyed most of the Egyptian world.

The lion pounced directly on the defeated Humbaba, eager to enjoy this rare offering and prey.

Enkidu naturally wanted to stop this, and weapons created by the wisdom of the people were shot out one by one from the land, with the Chains of Heaven appearing from the four directions.

But none of these forces can cross Manjusaki's position, as if a boundary has been drawn there, and anything that crosses it is crushed and destroyed.

"You can't ignore my existence because you're so eager. If you do, the blame might be something you can't bear, and it might end up on your Master."

Manju made a displeased sound, then looked up at the sky.

The once-brilliant Venus has set, and nothing can now stand in its way.

“Go back, for you will be driven by the blade of light. The dazzling sun is right here. You may tremble, you may fall, you may crawl away, but you must not go forward again.”

Manju said this, raising his hand as if to draw a bowstring.

Although Manju's hands were empty, terrifying light and heat were still emanating from them.

The terrifying arrow of light shot towards Enkidu, and before it even arrived, a terrible heat wave swept over him.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow transformed into a vast celestial fire, unleashing unimaginable light and heat that turned the earth into lava, even melting the soil.

Faced with such an offensive, Enkidu could only move through the forest to evade it.

But even dodging became difficult immediately, as Manju shot out four arrows of light in succession.

The four arrows, tracing tiny arcs, blocked Enkidu's position, completely covering his surroundings and striking him.

The heat almost penetrated the earth, creating four overlapping deep pits.

Although Enkidu managed to dodge the attack by using his transformation ability to increase his agility and speed, his plain robe was still partially ignited by the aftershocks.

“Quite good, but it should end here. Being able to avoid the sun’s equal rays is something to be proud of. So be proud now, because you died at sunset and witnessed the arrival of twilight.”

Although it was just a trial run, it was shot with the intention of killing someone.

If Enkidu were to fail to dodge, the arrow would set him ablaze.

"Now it's time to burn everything to achieve victory, witness the sunset, and then die."

Manjushri spoke in a voice as if reciting a predetermined fact, and an even more brilliant light emanated from his head.

First it was a dazzling gold, as brilliant as gold itself.

But immediately the color dimmed, reversed, and merged with the darkness.

That darkness was death and twilight, falling instantly from the sky, sinking below the horizon, and taking away the dying.

This is light and heat powerful enough to penetrate millions of layers of steel and melt the earth and sky.

The light fell from the sky, engulfing the earth in a rainbow, unstoppable.

"Looks like there's no other way."

Enkidu sensed there was nowhere to retreat, as if the whole world was truly heading towards its end, and therefore there was no land where one could escape this power.

"The world knows that Shuo ≥∶QUn：target service ○∷76∨〔摝∥∑叁4— "

The planet's power converged on Enkidu, but the apocalypse was not deemed a threat to the planet.

Manju could indeed do it, but if he did, he might not be able to kill Enzidu.

Therefore, when the power is controlled to just the right degree, the light rising from the sky cannot shatter the falling light.

The cyan figure vanished into the flames of the apocalypse, and the declared event thus became a fait accompli.

Having finished dealing with Sekhmet, Manshu didn't intend to disturb the goddess from enjoying her hard-won harvest. Instead, she went to the temple to pack up her things.

The tremors caused the remaining walls and pillars of the temple to collapse.

However, the Holy Grail was not damaged in any way. Manju destroyed the temple and took the Holy Grail with him.

After waiting for some time, and until Sekhmet returned to Manshu's side, he left.

"Is it all over?"

"It's all over. This Holy Grail War will conclude tomorrow."

When Orlando saw Manshu inside the police station, he blurted out the question, and Manshu nodded slightly in response.

"This city seems to be lucky; although it could have been condemned to destruction at any moment, it ultimately survived."

"Maybe, but I'd better do my best on my last day of work. Wouldn't it be a shame to miss my last day here?"

"Ok?"

"There are always people who are impatient, but since the one who made the move is someone who should have died long ago, I don't mind making another trip to satisfy him."

End of Chapter Fifty-Six

Before Venus had set from the sky and before the hurricane had dissipated.

The Avengers, who had set their sights on the divine bull wreathed in lightning, were interrupted by a heroic spirit riding a giant horse before anything could happen.

Alcides had already summoned the torrent that had once swept through the barns, a mixture of silt and poison, in an attempt to stop the Bull of Heaven.

But Rider, riding his horse with incredible skill, made it seem as if the horse was flying close to the ground, galloping towards Alcides through the murky current mixed with snake venom and mud.

Arrows shrouded in divine energy flew in one after another. Alcides initially intended to ignore them, but he realized that the incoming magic was somewhat unusual.

"It's much stronger than last time. Now, Xue can actually pose a threat to me..."
