The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Manju threw the lightning in his hand, sending it flying from the temple into the sky and into the clouds, where it began to expand and split rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, countless lightning bolts almost completely engulfed and covered the sky above Nippur City, the violent lightning points gathering enormous heat and terrifying light that was impossible to look at directly.

Uncle Mai covered the city with a veil so that people in the city could look up and not be blinded by the terrible light.

Even with such brilliance, the sun was still obscured, leaving people with only the light from lightning visible in the sky.

"A very swift counterattack. This lightning is even more terrifying than it was at the Temple of Blood. It seems that the temple in the city has been established, and Baal's divinity has been fully manifested."

Jingu looked up at the sky, which provoked a counterattack from the other side, thus achieving his goal, at least in terms of finding out some information.

Without hesitation, Jin Gu turned around and retreated at full speed. By the time the lightning struck the ground where he had been standing, he had already disappeared.

“That won’t do. Even if it’s just a trivial amount of damage, it’s still a fait accompli and an offense that cannot be ignored. Your punishment will not be spared.”

2 Manshu did not expect Jingu to be so decisive. He thought that since the other party dared to come close to investigate the situation, they should have to exchange a few moves beforehand.

After all, it was impossible for Jiu to kill Jingu in one go. Two moves were enough for Manshu to make Leidian and Jingu suffer. This guy ran away, and it was not easy for Leiguang to catch up.

The lightning that jumped was not real lightning. If it were real lightning, Kingu would not have been able to escape. Although his mobility was excellent, it was not to that extent.

"My lightning, become my minions! Come forth, your names are Pursuer and Exile! Pursue King at breakneck speed, and punish my enemies as the sea shatters, and let the wrath of the God-King descend upon the earth!"

④Manjushri used the power of Baal to restrain the lightning in the sky, so that the lightning could once again become the warhammer of God, allowing the power of the pursuers and exiles to be exerted to chase after the enemy.

In the mythological battle, the pursuer automatically flew out of Baal's hand to chase after the sea god Yam, knocking him off his throne and shattering his kingship and dominion to the ground.

The debris gathered together, transforming into two dazzling bolts of lightning that flew rapidly, accelerating to supersonic speeds in just a few seconds, and their speed continued to increase.

6. The speed of the pursuing lightning still exceeded that of the golden light, and it quickly caught up.

Si had already left Nippur City and even reached Jingu in the Fir Forest in such a short time. He stopped and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he immediately sensed lightning flying from afar.

"They actually chased us this far? What a stingy god."

The magic and divine power contained in that lightning were not insignificant; such a long-range strike could not be easily unleashed. To be so enraged by a mere probing attack suggests he is quite vengeful.

As Jin Gu thought this, the hostility he had harbored since Manshu's appearance seemed to have a new idea.

Perhaps the other party was attacked by monsters when they were summoned, so they also held a grudge against the monster mother goddess who created these monsters and made them attack humans.

Jin Gu didn't have time to do much. Instinctively, he summoned numerous weapons from the earth, allowing golden chains to wrap around him layer by layer to form a defense.

However, the speed of the lightning only gave Kingu a few seconds to react, and the golden chains only formed two layers of defense, with less than a hundred Noble Phantasms created on the ground.

The merciless hammer of lightning mercilessly swallowed up everything, leaving behind a charred area stretching for several kilometers in the cedar forest, and a huge fire broke out.

Jingu struggled to his feet, his feet firmly planted on the ground, drawing on magic to restore himself.

As a being made of clay, Jingu possesses exceptional regenerative abilities; as long as it is supplied with magic power from the earth, it will never collapse or be destroyed. It can be said to have unparalleled regenerative capabilities.

Therefore, Manshu did not expect to kill Jin Gu with lightning, but he should be able to prevent Jin Gu from easily coming to test him. The next time he searches, he should be prepared for a major battle, which is the so-called small punishment to serve as a warning.

However, the price was that it did take a lot of effort. Manshu subconsciously rubbed her temples, but it didn't really help much.

With the power of the Almighty, it is indeed possible to deceive and rewrite, allowing Baal's power to be unleashed.

However, such power is not without cost. Although all things in the world will flow freely, all discord will also come at the same cost after the flow.

Manshu temporarily put aside his work in the city and glanced at the priests standing outside the palace.

As the mountains below the temple grew higher and higher, the priests standing outside the gates gradually found it difficult to continue.

The most obvious effect of the ever-increasing altitude is the change in temperature. Time has passed again, and the sun is gradually setting.

The priests outside were dressed in normal clothes. The weather wasn't cold; although it wasn't as humid as Ur, it was still warm enough to wear light clothing.

When Manju arrived, it was still morning, so the priests' clothes weren't very thick, and now they felt a bit cold.

The combination of physical strength and physical limitations makes these priests feel increasingly uncomfortable.

The thunderclouds that had just gathered caused them considerable torment at such a height.

The veil didn't shield them from much light. Although the warmth it brought provided some relief, it quickly turned into intense heat, making them want to tear off all their clothes.

And he told them not to look up, even if they lowered their heads, they wouldn't dare open their eyes.

The disappearance of the lightning allowed the priests to breathe a sigh of relief, but some had already fallen to the ground.

That's about enough. If we really cause them all problems, we'll have to use our own strength to heal them.

Manshu waved his hand to open the door, and with a wave of his hand, he scooped up a mouthful of clear spring water, which he then poured onto the ground.

"Graceful priests, your steadfastness makes your evil deeds disappear. I give you a spring, plant it before the temple gate, so that you may use it daily to be purified and move towards perfection."

This spring is naturally created by abundant power, capable of cleansing the impure rains of Baal.

Anat slaughtered all the enemies in a city, causing rivers of blood to flow and limbs to cover the city's filth, yet this power also cleansed it.

The water poured from Manju's hands flowed automatically towards the door, just as Manju had said, flowing to the right side of the temple gate, forming a spring from which water flowed continuously.

The spring water flowed automatically to all the priests still outside the door, whether they were conscious or not.

All the priests' pain and suffering will be washed away.

If they are considered clean, then they have received grace.

The priests felt a brief warmth, and then it was as if their souls, along with their physical bodies, had been cleansed. It was an indescribable, wonderful feeling that made them feel they had received salvation.

The warmth received after such arduous suffering was unforgettable; many priests shed tears and knelt on the ground, praising God.

Although no one left, the number of people left behind seemed rather large, but it didn't matter. Let's send most of them to teach people how to pray daily.

Anyway, festivals are held here every day, and the ceremonies never stop, from sunrise to sunset, and from sunset to sunrise.

"Now you are all cleansed, retaining your priesthood, and sharing the glory with this temple. Now all you need to do is practice the sacrificial rites, teach the people of the earth to pray. The abundant power has made this place free from all worries, so the joyous festival must not stop. Let the joyous celebration continue eternally from sunrise to sunset."

Manjushri gave these orders to the priests without requiring them to do anything more, nor did he need their service; he only needed them to provide him with strength.

Then Manjushri used 2_9≈&4≮”0々4〔3∨◆56'＝4 as a transit point. ⊙羣: Magic awakened several attendants on the mural, instructing them to teach the priests how to do their work.

The temple gates were not closed again, and the priests were relocated to the lower levels to carry out their daily lives and rituals. They were not allowed to set foot in the uppermost part of the temple without orders.

The stream at the entrance also flows downwards, becoming the spring water that flows throughout the temple, providing daily drinking water for the priests.

The next day, the priests prepared all night and summoned all the people in the morning.

The people were curious about what had happened, but the priests told them to be patient and to gather together in the morning.

The priests, based on the teachings, wrote down new sacred laws for the city, arranged the city according to the will of Manjushri, and read them aloud to all the people in the morning.

After the law was read, the perpetual festival began, with tables and chairs, all kinds of delicacies and wines brought out for people to celebrate.

Before the celebration, however, people sang hymns together, loudly praising the city and the god who rules it.

"Enlil! His powerful cry, His divine word, are everywhere!"

Chapter 147 The Onslaught

"Hmph, even though I only made this choice occasionally to try something different, I didn't expect that guy to do a pretty good job, barely justifying his disrespect and arrogance."

Gilgamesh listened to the reports from the returning personnel about the changes that had occurred in Nippur, a smile playing on his lips.

"However... to be so bold as to directly impersonate Enlil, we mustn't let this go wrong. Although we are both God-Kings, there are still some differences. It's a pity that because of the burning of humanity, these eyes can't see any more of the future, and even looking at that guy is a blank."

Gilgamesh was able to assert that Manjusaka was unrelated to Enlil because he sensed the composite divinity within Manjusaka, and his Noble Phantasm and skills supported him in doing so.

As a wise king who returned from the underworld, Gilgamesh would at least not be too careless, Manxin.

Of course, if Manjustra intended to mislead him, he could indeed rely on the hazy light reflected from the obsidian mirror to make Gilgamesh see a distorted picture.

However, the two of them would not be a match for each other here, so there was no need to do these unnecessary things, which naturally allowed Gilgamesh to see the three divine aspects existing on Manjushri.

"That fellow rewarded you with this bull horn? It's quite a generous gift. You think you can outdo me with something like that? Hahaha... You're a hundred years too early! My treasures are beyond the comprehension of such a fool."

Gilgamesh glanced at the bull horn a few times, then tossed it back without any interest. He then opened the doors of the Babylonian Treasury and took out a treasure from it.

"It would be difficult to act alongside such scum. Come and see the treasures I have collected. I will grant you a glimpse of this supreme wealth!"

……

“Nipour must be contained. The city has a new master, and the visions of the Age of Gods are returning to that land. They will be a threat to the Goddess Alliance. On this land, Enlil is more threatening than Quetzal Koyatl; he is an adversary who can threaten your life, Mother.”

Kingu quickly returned to the Temple of Blood and reported to Gorgon what he had found near Nippur, hoping to destroy Nippur first.

The Three Goddesses Alliance was indifferent to the cities on Earth; only Gorgons were launching frenzied attacks, and the cities swallowed by the other two goddesses were far less than those swallowed by Gorgons.

Gorgon sought revenge, but also to prepare for the upcoming conflict between the goddesses.

But when a new god appears, he is a greater threat than the other two goddesses in the Goddess Alliance.

At least until the alliance ends, the three goddesses cannot attack each other, so each goddess is preparing for what will happen after the destruction of Uruk.

"The demonic beast army in the Blood Temple is still gestating. We must wait longer to defeat another god. But I have already said that I will break through that hateful northern wall within a month. The alliance with the goddess is only a non-aggression pact, and I cannot rely on their power. It is truly detestable that such an unnecessary situation has arisen at this time."

Gorgon muttered, even in her madness, there was a moment when she couldn't act recklessly. II

It didn't matter whether she faced humans or nature; how could human power possibly contend with her as a goddess? She simply needed to drive them all away. 9

However, if the opponent is another god, Gorgon will still treat them with caution, after all, that is indeed an enemy worthy of and must be faced squarely. 4

However, the goddesses in the Three Goddess Alliance each had their own agendas, and Gorgon would not allow them to interfere in his affairs.

If other goddesses were to come and help, it's another matter entirely which ones they would actually help. (4)

At least Gorgon, judging by his own standards, wouldn't believe that the other goddesses would wholeheartedly help him. If it were him, he'd probably be happy to see the other goddesses killed, thus eliminating a competitor. (Part 3)

In any case, the alliance between the three goddesses is only an inviolable pact; there's no agreement that they must help each other. As long as they don't directly attack each other, that's fine, but some disruptive actions are acceptable. 5

"The goddess of the underworld may be unreliable, but the goddess of the forest might be able to provoke her into attacking Nippur."

Jin Gu spoke based on the information he had gathered. (Private)

"When that fellow broke into the Temple of Blood, he used an unfamiliar divine power, the same divine power I mentioned before that originated from America. The Goddess of the Forest recognized the source of that divine power as his nemesis, Tescatlipoca."

When Jingu saw Quetzal Koyatl, a rare display of anger flashed through his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.

This is quite rare; this goddess from the Americas is as uninhibited as her attire, to the point that it can sometimes be difficult to understand. Q

“We don’t need to attack at the same time; we can simply observe from the sidelines. If the Forest Goddess can cause effective damage, then we can clean up the mess after she’s repelled. Even better if she can destroy Nippur on her own.”

He was simply reporting this important information to the other girls out of good intentions, fulfilling his duty as an ally.

This way, it wouldn't be considered seeking help from other goddesses, and it wouldn't invite gossip or ridicule at the next meeting. Perhaps this could be considered a consideration.

"Your wisdom is still something to rely on, so just do what you think is right."

Gorgon had no objection to this and nodded in approval. She couldn't think of any other way at the moment and felt that this was feasible.
