The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

The story of Marduk killing Tiamat comes from Enlil, and Marduk rewrote Enlil's deeds when he seized the position of God-King.

Although it was Marduk who did this, it does raise the question of exactly when Enlil's reign took place.

But the believers here at least do not believe that Enlil is incapable of fighting Tiamat, so who else can shake the city, and they no longer worry about their own fate on the day the city is destroyed.

Surrounded by monsters in this city, the days felt like waiting to die, a truly despairing existence.

The sounds of prayer and praise echoed in every corner of the city; this was the kind of sound Manjus needed.

Expecting Manju to completely transform the city on his own is asking too much of a question; the magic he would need to do so would probably drain him dry several times over.

There is a difference in difficulty between destruction and creation. Destroying this city might only require about a third of the magic power.

"However, we cannot afford to wait any longer; our time here is limited. When the sacred city appears on the land of Sumer, when the mountains rise, and when the sounds of prayer flow through the city like a tide, the threats from afar must be extinguished."

Gorgon will not stand idly by and allow such a city to emerge. Her war in the north has lasted for half a year, and she has now boasted that she will completely crush it in a month.

The battle could not be dragged out any longer; the city of Nippur was already her prey.

Snatching food from a snake's mouth is no easier than taking food from a tiger's mouth. Therefore, everything must first establish a illusory model.

The sound of prayer naturally guided this, amidst the tiny, reflective wisps of smoke.

People's fantasies and prayers—this mysterious power has draped the earth in a thin veil.

The spring of wisdom flows from the high mountains, bringing forth many fine qualities and a bountiful harvest on earth.

"The basic framework has been established; all that remains is to fill in the gaps. Now we just need to look into the distance and see where the shadows under the sun have gone."

Manshu's face showed signs of fatigue, but she did not rest. Instead, she looked up at the north again.

However, it is still not clear, but sitting in this temple, one should be able to see something real and true.

"Enlil! The best cultivator in the universe, the shepherd who rules over all life! When he sits on the throne in the mountains, he crowns himself with a divine crown! He is like a rainbow across the sky, like a cloud soaring in the heavens, he himself is destiny, and nothing is made without him!"

The gods in the murals are constantly fulfilling their duties, celebrating and preparing for the upcoming feast, and praising each other loudly before the feast.

Enlil's power, seized through this opportunity of usurpation and with the help of Marduk and Tescatlipolka, finally became a reality.

Ekur has become the new king's throne, and its past power has been given to the new king, so that the land is free from any gloom.

Gorgon's demonic army was still in its formative stages, Gorgon himself remained in his Blood Temple, and Kingu roamed the surrounding area, his patrols seemingly searching for something. (2)

Chapter 145 City

Manjus didn't dwell on the scene at Gorgon; the bloody and cruel sight was too offensive to behold, the antithesis of purity.

However, Jingu, who is outside, deserves more attention. After all, the main difficulty in defeating the Beast Goddess lies not in Gorgon himself; for Manshu, Gorgon is easy to deal with, while Jingu is more troublesome.

Although Kingu used the name Kingu, he was not actually Kingu; he was created from Enkidu's corpse and should be considered more as Enkidu. (4)

If the opponent is truly Jin Gu, then there's really no need to overthink it; even if both of them attack together, there's no need to worry. 3

Jingu was more perceptive than Gorgon; Manshu observed him for a while, and then, as if sensing something, he turned back. *Whoosh*

Compared to Gorgon, who was being manipulated and controlled, Kingu seemed more like the mastermind behind the scenes, and indeed, he was the true ally of the Magic King.

After being discovered, Manshu immediately looked away, preventing Jingu from discovering anything further. (iv)

There are quite a few perceptive guys here who would probably go looking at other girls, and it wouldn't be any better; at most, they might just look at Ishtar.

There should still be some time. It will take at least two or three days for the Goddess of Warcraft to discover the anomaly here and mobilize the warcraft.

After all, the main force of the Warcraft Goddess has not yet been formed and is still being cultivated.

Moreover, those troops were not meant to destroy humanity, but rather to guard against the allies of the Goddess Alliance.

Just as Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god, was training her warriors in Elidu, the goddesses were more wary of each other.

So let's take advantage of these few days to make proper revisions, at least to ensure that this city, and our own foundation, are firmly rooted in this land, so that we can have no worries about the future.

Next, after dealing with Gorgon and Jingu, the only remaining threats to the northern region, we can prepare for a serious battle against the truly troublesome Tiamat.

Manju focused intently on modifying the city, starting with erasing the dilapidated buildings, removing all impurities, and making the city as a whole clean.

After modifying the buildings, the focus shifts to the city's inhabitants, aiming to enrich their spirits and help them escape all harmful influences so they can thrive in the city.

Manjusque, with great enthusiasm, completed his work, thus making the city a true pillar of strength, a foundation as unbreakable as the earth itself.

The price to pay for turning illusions into reality takes time to make up for. What can happen now is like the illusions of a wizard, but with other powers, some things can also be turned into reality.

At least abundance has indeed descended upon this land, so that they do not have to worry about their daily food, what they eat, drink, or use.

The wheat grew and bore ears extremely quickly, the fruit trees rapidly produced fruit weighing down their branches, the cattle in the pens began to calve, and the sheep did the same.

Even birds flying by immediately landed on the trees, and the trees proactively stretched out their branches to build nests for them, and bird eggs immediately fell.

People pick a fruit, open their mouths, and take a bite. The juice and wonderful sweetness flow into their mouths, giving them an endless feeling of happiness.

By the time Manshu had completed the initial renovation of the city, half a day had already passed. So the guide who had been sold arrived, but the gate was not open, and he could only wait outside.

After all, he couldn't just leave on his own initiative. The other party was someone entrusted with an important task by King Gilgamesh, and for that reason alone, he couldn't leave without finishing what he was supposed to do and getting permission first.

Moreover, the terrifying noises that had been constantly emanating from Manshu since he entered the city made people hesitant to venture out.

When Manshu came to his senses, he saw that the guide had also arrived. He opened the door and invited him in.

The guide immediately pushed through the crowd and entered the temple, while the priests could only watch helplessly as they continued to wait outside.

The long wait was frustrating, but the priests could not utter a single complaint; they hoped that they would be the perfect priests who could once again enter the temple.

This brief wait is nothing; no one wants to lose their priesthood.

“I almost forgot about you. Where are you going next? Will you return to Uruk, or stay here?”

Manju closed the door again and casually asked the guide who had come in.

“My home is in Uruk, and I hope to go back.”

The guide hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to answer.

"It's alright, your mission is accomplished. Now return to Uruk and report to Gilgamesh. Tell him what you have seen here, and that the bull's horn is a reward for your journey with me."

The waiter in the banquet mural immediately took a bull's horn from the altar in the painting, transformed into a phantom spirit, walked out of the mural, and handed the bull's horn to the guide.

"Let's go back."

Manju waved his hand, thus ending the matter here, and as for the priests outside the door, he intended to make them wait a while longer.

None of the priests have chosen to leave yet, nor have any collapsed from exhaustion. There are still too many of them; let's wait and see.

Next, Manshu began working on the city walls surrounding the city. These tall walls were also badly damaged, and the original foundation that once protected the heavens and the earth was no longer visible.

4 This wall should naturally be tall, as tall as a cliff, and only slightly shorter than the mountain that guards the temple.

(8) The mountain below the temple continues to rise, thanks to the faith of the city, which allows the mountain to grow slowly, albeit at a slow pace.

The city should soar high into the clouds. The towering city is the most direct way to show its sacredness and magnificence. The city should be like the sky, awe-inspiring and making people bow down when they see it.

4. Following this idea, Manjusaka made sure that the light from here could truly reach the heavens, and the distant goddess of monsters also received new information.

When Jin Gu, who was patrolling, sensed that someone was watching him, he became a little wary. After using his senses to discover the magical beasts fleeing back, he came to investigate the unusual situation.

Although the city of Nippur was not yet towering into the clouds, the high mountains within the city and the strange aura emanating from it were enough for Jingu to notice something amiss.

Divinity has permeated this city; it is something that cannot be ignored.

5. Jin Gu did not get close; he only relied on his own senses to perceive the changes that had occurred.

Chapter 146 Testing

"What happened in Nippur?"

Jingu muttered to himself in confusion from a distance. He grabbed a few fleeing demonic beasts and read only fear in their hearts.

“Nippur City is like a scene from the Age of Gods returning... Although it is not as good as that time, it is clearly not a situation that should exist in this era.”

U This is something beyond Kingu's control, and it has been happening in unexpected ways all along. Both Quetzal Koyatl and Ereshkigal are products of chance.

It seems that new gods have been summoned to the land of Sumer, to the city of Nippur.

Enlil is not the same as Ishtar. To be compared to Enlil, one must be Inanna, or even Anzai.

Out of fear of Enlil, Jingu did not rush directly to the city to gather intelligence, but instead slowly approached and observed from outside the city.

Even just by looking, one can see the changes taking place in this city, because Manju is constantly modifying it, and one can clearly perceive all the changes that are happening and the forces at work within those changes.

"No, this is not Enlil, it's just a counterfeit."

Manjusaka did it with her own power, along with the prayers of the people, using the power of Tescatlipoca to allow the illusion to cover this place.

Indeed, no Enlil's power was used here, nor was any disguise employed, and most people would not be able to see through these things.

Even if a priest could sense that this power might not come from Enlil, he would not say such a thing at this time. Whoever came here and sat on Enlil's throne, that person is Enlil, the god who protects the city of Nippur.

"The flowing abundance, this elusive and unpredictable divinity—is it the person who appeared at the Temple of Blood who came to use the temple in Nippur to stabilize their own divinity?"

Baal's abundance is still quite easy to see, after all, the power of abundance has turned into rivers, flowing down from the mountains and spreading throughout the city.

Having reached this conclusion, Jingu stood still for a moment, then reached out and touched the ground.

From the earth, all sorts of weapons emerged, transforming into bombardments that slammed into the distant city.

The weapons created by the wisdom of the people smashed directly against the walls of Nippur, which were gradually rising and being imbued with power.

However, Jingu's attack was not to be underestimated; even the towering city walls were destroyed before the clay weapons.

"They arrived so quickly. Did the previous reconnaissance alert them?"

The magical bombardment landing on the city walls also caught Manju's attention. Such an attack was quite distinctive; it could only be either Gilgamesh or Kingu, and here it could only be Kingu.

"They really picked a good time, so we'll just have to give them a small punishment as a warning."

After all, that guy remained cautious enough not to storm into the city and cause a ruckus.

Since Jin Gu is still outside the city and is only using remote means to probe, it will be difficult to keep him here.

On this land, Jingu's mobility is still unmatched.

Manju reached out his hand, using his promise to the city, a power that had already become part of the city's appearance.

"The arms of Nippur are like a net, from which the wicked and unclean cannot escape. This is the abode of righteousness, the holy mountain, where eternal and just judgment resides!"

This city is a place of purity, and also a place of judgment. It is the judgment that allows this city to steadfastly maintain its long-standing justice and fairness.

In earlier times, this city upheld moral and ethical principles, making it a place of pilgrimage for its people.

The bombarded city walls began to repair themselves and emit light, which connected to the city's center and caused the dense clouds to move.
