Instead of heading to the city walls, the priests maintaining order in the assembly area below the temple shouted loudly.

He had already experienced the catastrophe, watching one Sumerian city after another be destroyed by endless hordes of monsters, their inhabitants being dragged into their lair by the beasts. What could people possibly have left in their hearts?

When all hope is out of sight, all they have left is the pain of their predicament, and they can only ask God for answers and express the suffering in their hearts.

Now that the hope of salvation is before them, how could they not cherish it?

If we don't cherish it, what will be left of Nippur? Perhaps only a lament etched on clay tablets.

They knew clearly, they understood, they comprehended that with the fall of the city and the demise of the kingdom, all people could do in the end was cry out and write one lament after another.

Like a lament written a thousand years later, people can only ask God, cry out to God, how long they will have to endure the disaster, how long they will have to be tempered in suffering.

We can only place our hopes on the future, fantasizing that Enlil will rebuild Nippur in the future. But now Nippur is destroyed, also because God has abandoned it, and for no other reason.

"Enlil! The benevolent Father Enlil sits enthroned in the sacred temple, the magnificent temple!..."

At the priests' shouts, the somewhat panicked crowd below calmed down, or perhaps they fell into a deeper level of fanaticism.

They shouted together, praising the guardians of the city, extolling the gods, and drawing upon their own cries to protect themselves, the city, and even the gods they praised.

“You cannot defeat me, Quetzal Koyatel, in Nippur. This is my city, my territory. I rule over everything here. Everything is done according to my will. I am destiny itself!”

Without my command, fish cannot lay eggs, birds cannot build nests, thunderstorms cannot occur, fruit trees will no longer bear fruit, there will be no life, no reincarnation—this is the omnipotent realm under my control!

As Manjusaka spoke, he wiped away all traces of the scorching flames that had left their mark on him, and the Horn of Abundance brought him an inexhaustible source of life.

On her own temple, Manjushri truly had nothing to fear, not even the most powerful goddess in this land.

Manju raised the pickaxe in his right hand high and slammed it down. The pickaxe, carved from lapis lazuli, seemed to have infinite weight as it was swung down, shaking everything around it.

After his kick was blocked, Quetzal Koyatl immediately regrouped and launched an attack, lunging forward.

The swung pickaxe collided repeatedly with the flesh of the goddess Quetzal Koyatl, and that divine body was actually being pushed back.

"As expected, you weren't exaggerating. This city and all its inhabitants have surrendered themselves to your control. It's not exactly enjoyable to punch a cold city like this."

Your deception skills are getting better and better, Tescatlipoca. I have no intention of commenting on your actions; I just want to swing my fist with all my might.

I won't ask you to fight me with your body; I will transform into a raging inferno and fight you again without restraint!

Flames erupted from Quetzalcoatl's body, burning away her blood and unleashing a truly terrifying magical power and divine aura. It was clear to everyone that the goddess before them held nothing back, determined to tear her enemies apart with all her might.

Quetzal Koyatl was filled with remorse for his loss to Tescatlipoca and felt a deep loathing for the powerlessness he felt in that defeated version of himself.

Quetzalcoatl no longer fought bare-handed; the golden obsidian sword appeared in her right hand, while a round shield was held in her left. 4

The flames that followed Quetzalcoatl's dance transformed into the South American sun, charging forward like a war god, weapon in hand.

"Stubbornness will lead to your downfall! Behold, here the sky rests upon me, the earth is unbreakable because of me, my words are the greatest power, boundless and mighty, as vast as the heavens!"

Manjushri shouted, the booming sound transforming into a howling wind and lightning; the sky was changing violently, and the very rules of the universe began to shift.

Quetzal Koyatl swung his obsidian sword forward, but the blade couldn't touch Manjustra; all he could see was the storm and lightning raging above the city.

"What a ridiculous trick! You think deception will work on me? Be honest for once!"

Quetzalcoatl quickly noticed the problem, unleashing his divine power to blast forward and tear through the swirling smoke surrounding her.

"This is not a deception; I have no interest in revisiting the past."

Chapter 149 Lian Zhan Suo

Although the smoke swirling around Quetzalcoatl was cut off, the obsidian sword she wielded still couldn't reach her target.

It seems so close at hand, yet even that closeness feels like the ends of the earth, an insurmountable distance.

Quetzal Koyatl knew that the swirling smoke he was aware of did not affect his perception.

That was something that had been planned in advance, but it was cut off before it could take effect.

“I have no reason to deceive you, Quetzal Koyatl. After all, you are the challenger, and I have not yet reached the point of resorting to any means necessary.”

Manshu waved his hand, a look of relief spreading across his face as he feigned ease.

Although Quetzalcoatl cannot harm him for the time being, the effect is actually the same; the pickaxe that Manshu is swinging cannot hurt Quetzalcoatl either.

Although the weight of the city of Nippur was entirely applied to the head carved from lapis lazuli with a pickaxe, the weight of a city was not enough to overwhelm Quetzalcoatl. Such power could not even overwhelm Bagst, so how could it possibly overwhelm this chief god of the Americas?

Even if such weight could pierce Quetzal Koyatl's body and cause her to bleed, the revitalizing winds and abundant power would also allow these insignificant wounds to heal quickly.

"That's right, too much time has passed, making me forget how I was before I dreamed when I arrived in this distant future. The day of battle has risen, and I must face you not as a god, but as a king, with savagery and rage."

Quetzal Koyatl suddenly took a few steps back, revealing an expression as if he had just woken up from a dream, but this expression was instantly burned away by the raging flames.

"How annoying. You say you won't look back on the past, but you're setting your sights on the future. Anyway, the future no longer exists, so you can rewrite it as you please, but that's the end of it, Tescatlipoca."

The divine aura emanating from Quetzalcoatl has diminished, and the raging flames, the king's wrath, are the fury that destroyed everything after being tricked by Tescatlipoca.

Now, this raging fire has been channeled once more, but this time it is not Quetzal Coyatter's city and her wealth that are to be ignited, but rather the city and everything that her enemies possess.

"Go and try to reverse that future that doesn't exist, and then let me burn it all, including you, to ashes—'Blazing flames, which also consume the gods (Xiuhcoatl)'!"

Quetzal Coyatt did not use the Flaming Kick or other extensions of Mexican wrestling, but instead used his Noble Phantasm in its most original form.

Anger flared from his body and instantly expanded to cover the entire city's sky.

People in the city looked up at the sky and saw only the terrifying sight of the entire sky being swallowed by flames, and the world melting into a sea of ​​fire.

Just like the Northern Search ∝⌒ Search Q Group ∪∫: 栮§@九4≌0∧。 缌¢∝毶≤五`六? ‖⑷ In European mythology, the fire giant wielding the Branch of Destruction throws his demonic sword into the sky, and fierce flames engulf the entire world.

The raging flames mercilessly burned everything in sight, recreating the scene of the city's destruction with pure destructive power.

In addition to bringing back the raging flames, Quetzalcoatl's Noble Phantasm also has the effect of preventing enemies from unleashing their own Noble Phantasms.

Quetzalcoatl noticed the anomaly and, without hesitation, seized the opportunity before his enemies could detect it, unleashing his Noble Phantasm to destroy the place.

“Well done, Quetzal Koyatl. This fire will burn your city and treasures, but also to prevent them from falling into the hands of Tescatlipoca.”

But if something like this happens once, will it happen a second time? This city is the foundation of heaven and earth, the pillar connecting heaven and earth.

Flames can burn away the vegetation and animals on high mountains, and the scattered debris on the mountains themselves, but they cannot burn the mountains themselves completely.

Quetzal Koyatl's main target was not Manju, but merely to use fire to hinder Manju; his true aim was to destroy the city below.

If it weren't for the purpose of destroying the city, there would be no need to use this Noble Phantasm's original effect on the city.

When dealing with an enemy, it is obvious that using a city-targeting Noble Phantasm as an anti-personnel Noble Phantasm will bring greater power.

Just like Lancelot's Noble Phantasm, Binding Chains Broken: Overburdened Lake Light, although it can be used against the military, it can be transformed into a means against people through special techniques and by paying the price of bearing a heavy burden.

Compared to the methods used against the army, the Three Lights Slash released in the form of attacking a person is much more difficult to defend against and harder to block.

Quetzal Koyatl was also well aware of the city below's importance to Manshu, having done the same in Elidu.

Destroying cities is nothing to brag about; despite being a benevolent god, Quetzalcoatl has destroyed the world twice.

Both of these world-destroying events were related to Tescatlipoca; more precisely, the battle between these two Aztec chief gods destroyed the world twice in succession.

The damage to the city is nothing, since the city's residents won't die as a result.

However, Manju didn't rely on his Noble Phantasm that much; he didn't need to rely on it most of the time.

The obsidian mirror continued to reflect light, and the falling flames did not strike the city, but instead struck a patch of dark clouds that appeared above it.

"Your flames are not enough, far from enough! Quetzal Koyatl, if your fire is only this strong, then you should stay away from here. How can a flame of this strength be near the sun?"

The falling flames completely burned away the black mist below, and the flames themselves vanished, leaving only the ashes that had been burned away, which gathered together to form a pitch-black mirror.

"The obsidian mirror reflects the past and reveals the destiny of the future. Now, let us stride into the era in which I become the rising sun!"

The obsidian mirror still reflects light, and the smoke swirling from that light will transform into raging flames, into a war song filled with fury, and then into a tranquil ballad, but in the end, it will return to silence.

Because everything has vanished, the final resting place is the earth in slumber, and the sun, crippled and black, is left with nothing.

Everything perishes here, everything becomes invisible, only that unfathomable, mysterious, pitch-black color remains.

The obsidian mirror refracts light, its dark mystery reflecting the past, present, future, and everything that can and cannot be seen.

The dark sun rises from the ashes of burning flames, born from death.

The dark and broken primordial sun has long since vanished from the past, and what is being resurrected now is the sun and the world that perished with it.

Ashes are residue, the underworld trodden by the king of leopards who struts proudly through the mountains, and something that exists deep within the earth.

Thanks to the conveniences of this era, the underworld is not located in a very distant place, but right here on the earth beneath our feet. Making the underworld reappear is not an overly difficult matter.

Although Sumijur's true master is also still in this era, it's unlikely she'll interfere too much.

When I passed through Kusa City, I didn't do anything, and neither did Ereshkigal. They even let the undead that would revive every night rest for a night.

However, if Ereshkigal had noticed the situation here earlier, he might have discovered something amiss.

Manjushri did not construct the underworld using the power of Tescatlipoca; he had already done far too much, constantly altering what was to come by using the power of the Almighty.

The obsidian mirror constantly reflects light, but when the mirror completely loses its color and can no longer reflect light, then everything is finished.

Omnipotent authority is not true omnipotence, but omnipotence that comes at a price, with requirements and prerequisites.

The skill used to create the underworld is Ereshkigal's ability, derived from the formation of the territory on Manju. This skill comes from Ereshkigal; whoever can freely summon the seven gates of the underworld can transform the land they stand on into a death-inducing underworld.

The ashes formed after the burning of the Seven Great Gates were not placed on the ground, but were buried in the ashes. They were laid flat on the barrier in the sky and hidden under the obsidian mirror, existing as a catalyst for the true underworld.

As the black sun of death rises from the simulated underworld, the changes in this land become even more dramatic.

Some of those who are still false, and all those whose Manjusaka identity cannot yet be acknowledged, will be completely erased and destroyed under the sun's rays.

Because in the pure world completely dominated by the sun, the primordial dark sun governs the physical laws of the earth's surface, making all things obey the order prescribed by the sun.

Quetzal Koyatl's aura was suppressed in an instant, but this might not be a good thing.

Manju flew to the foot of the dark sun, spread his arms, and began to completely take over the land.

"Quezal Koyatl, this is my last plea for you to leave this place, to leave my city, my territory, my world! This is not out of my leniency, nor out of my ridiculous pity for you, but an expulsion for the sake of this land!"

"You should have come to Uruk, not here. Your flames should have burned away the great tides of Enlil. I have not yet intended to unleash a world-ending punishment. The people of this land have not angered me; it is the goddess who walks here who has angered me."

When intense combustion is compressed into a confined space, and the force of the explosion is squeezed inward, the final result will be an explosion that, if not the extinguishing of the flames, will destroy everything.

(9) At this point, Manjusaka no longer believed he could win.

Is defeating Quetzalcoatl here and killing her here the victory?

④ Although not.

8. Quetzalcoatl has not yet used all the power she has, her strongest Noble Phantasm has not yet been released, she has not yet truly transformed into a raging flame, a flame that ignites everything, including herself.

(iv) Even if they defeat Quetzalcoatl, what will be left on this land in the end? Nothing more than charred remains from the flames.
