The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

The advantage of a body made of clay is that, just like the body of a Servant made of magic, as long as the key core is not destroyed, the rest of the body can be restored very quickly as long as it is replenished enough.

"It is indeed regrettable that half of the troubles could have been eliminated here, but we failed to seize the opportunity. Those who defy the king's orders and rebel against the god-king who is defining the laws of the world should be destroyed under punishment."

Manju was also quite disappointed by this. Even the Starry Sky project ultimately failed, and the Zodiac was not completed. Therefore, he didn't have many other methods left.

Perhaps more accurately, only the last resort remains: the terrifying, dark, and fragmented primordial sun that was summoned during the battle against Quetzalcoatl.

The constant tremors of the ground were gradually creating an underground environment for Manshu. With the skills Manshu obtained from Ereshkigal, it would not be difficult to create an underground underworld, at least not in this era.

But there's not much time left, so we can only make use of that dark sun.

Manju's body was still using Karna's techniques, swinging his Light Speed ​​Fist to engage in close combat with Kingu.

Jingu's mobility still poses a threat. Jingu doesn't adhere to the so-called code of conduct or perseverance of a warrior, but instead uses all kinds of means without reservation, making it difficult for Manshu to maintain the status quo.

The reason he was able to hold his own against Quetzal Koyatl in hand-to-hand combat for a short time was because Quetzal wasn't going all out; he was still enjoying the physical pleasure of the encounter and was simply using physical strength to fight.

But that's not realistic right now. Kingu's mobility, combined with the chains constantly used to block the enemy's direction, and the targeted Noble Phantasms created from the soil, are still quite troublesome, especially since Manju is indeed running out of ammunition and supplies.

"It seems your punishment cannot be delayed. Even the true god Enlil will eventually reach the end of his power. The demon bird was able to steal the tablets of destiny from his hands, and Marduk eventually transferred divine power from Nippur to Babylon. This is something that cannot be resisted."

Although the god Enlil was called the master of fate, he was ultimately still bound by destiny and could not prevent the end of the divine era. The replacement of the old by the new humans was a predetermined and unchangeable event.

As an opponent, Kingu was better able to understand that Manju's power had indeed been weakened.

With the attacks from the stars gone, Gorgon's power was unleashed. Although the Ark had been damaged by the previous attacks, it could still hold out for a while. Gorgon was not afraid of this and unleashed his high-temperature magic without hesitation.

"The master of this city is about to fall, and this city is about to perish. This was foreseeable from the beginning, and it is a predetermined fate, the fate destined for the old humans who are being eliminated."

Looking back, the sounds of fighting continued unabated on the high walls of Nippur.

After the storm disappeared from the land in front of Nippur, the Beast Goddess Gorgon and Jingu entered the city to fight Manshu, and the walls of Nippur were handed over to the city's inhabitants to fight against the beasts that came from afar.

The foundation of the monster army was a large number of lion hounds, Uridim. Although these monsters were relatively weak compared to the other eleven sons of Tiamat, they were still quite large, appearing to be even bigger than ordinary lions and tigers.

Tens of thousands of these ferocious beasts roamed freely beneath the city, charging towards it with bloodlust.

Furthermore, this large group of magical beasts includes not only the lion hound Ulidim, but also the giant lion Ugal, which is like the sun, the terrifying poison dragon Bashum, the seven-headed serpent Mushmaf, and the ferocious water serpent Ushmugal.

Among them were the evil spirits Um Dabrhutu, who came like a storm from the orc cow Kusaliku, and a winged mermaid named Kululu.

Almost all the magical beasts created by Tiamat as described in the legends appear here, but before that, Gorgon had already taken over the name of Tiamat and announced it in public.

Therefore, it did not cause much panic. The people on the city wall already knew in their hearts who they were fighting against: Tiamat, the mother goddess of creation.

Nippur City has already been hit by Quetzalcoatl's fiery flying kick that burns the world, and Kingu's merciless rain of Noble Phantasms has left the city's walls and defenses teetering on the brink of collapse.

Even so, these walls, taller than ever before, still provide a stronger defense than the old city of Nippur.

However, the number of monsters they faced was also beyond imagination, far exceeding the number of previous attacks.

How many people are left in Nippur? I'm afraid they're almost at the point where they can't even keep up with a thousand.

The monsters outside were capable of engulfing the city, and the priests, now with even more power, were unleashing a continuous barrage of attacks, while the civilians who had come to the rescue were doing what they could.

The magical cannon fire roared incessantly, shaking the entire city wall. Shells rained down like meteors, smashing the charging Uldym into bloody pulp.

But those truly terrifying monsters cannot be killed with a single blow. Those horned dragons move across the plains in a frenzied manner, and can even violently tear apart the cannon fire thrown down from the city walls for defense.

"Focus our attacks on the horned dragons and giant lions. Even if the lion hounds climb the walls, we can take them down. But if we let the dragons and giant lions get close to the walls, our walls probably won't be able to withstand more than a few of their attacks. Once the walls of Nippur collapse, the temple's defenses will be reduced by more than half."

The priests directed and controlled the cannon fire from the city walls, firing in different directions.

Using defensive attacks only against Ulridim would be a waste; the truly powerful magical beasts are the real threat to this towering city wall.

Ulidim might not even be able to climb the wall; all they could do was try to shake it with their claws or their bodies.

But in terms of size, it is indeed a pipe dream; at least it looks unbelievable.

Even with organized command, Nippur's manpower still seemed insufficient to withstand such a massive attack from monsters.

The people of Nepal couldn't even fully utilize the defensive weapons that Manju had arranged beforehand, so powerful monsters kept breaking through the covering fire network and attacking the city's defenses beneath the walls of Nepal.

At this moment, the warriors will pick up their weapons and, under the blessings of the priests, wield them to fight against the charging monsters.

The battle on the city wall continued in this way, not yet coming to an end. Although it looked precarious, it never collapsed.

Chapter 155 The Underworld

Nippur City looked incredibly close to destruction at this moment. The resistance on the city walls was gradually losing strength, and hordes of Uridim gathered below the walls, allowing more and more monsters to break through the artillery barrage.

At first, the Ulidim couldn't climb the city wall, but now, thanks to their numbers, they've even built human ladders to scale it.

"As defective products, the old humans could not even be stopped by their mother's magical beasts, so how could they possibly resist the fate of being replaced by the new humans?"

Jingu spoke again, saying that brilliant magic was tearing everything apart here, even the towering cliffs and the indestructible mountains were being torn apart.

"What you are describing is a story that never happened, but what you are trying to cut down is a towering tree that has already grown. If you are going to give it death, then first cross over death."

Manju's continued concessions were a way of waiting for the earth to tremble so that he could achieve his ultimate goal.

Although it is still something that cannot be completed, it should at least be enough to build a temporary underground underworld.

As Manshu spoke, the earth trembled once more, causing the entire city to shake.

"Do you still have authority over death? Oh right, I've heard of it. Tescatlipoca is also the god of death. It just so happens that the people here have a habit of writing dirges when they face destruction. Do you intend to demonstrate your power through all the death and the destruction of this city?"

Jin Gu said with a smile. His tattered white clothes were stained with a lot of blood, but most of the blood did not come from him.

This was the first time blood had splattered on him, and it was this fact that gave Jingu certainty that he could finally see the hope of victory and end this long, hopeless battle.

Death can indeed be described as a terrifying force, but at this point, when one is forced to confront death, it probably won't make much difference to everything that has been happening around us before.

Jingu could at least be certain of one thing: the enemy's preparations were insufficient, which also made sense given that the enemy had only been in Sumerian territory for a few days.

However, this is indeed something that needs to be guarded against, or rather, it is worth being wary of. Although Kingu is not Enkidu, but a person resurrected in Enkidu's body, and not a Servant, he is not so worried about death and needs to be fearful of him.

(8) Kingu's identity is that of a life reborn in Enkidu's body, so he is not so afraid or worried about death.

Kōjin-gū also fabricated a magical artifact to prevent death, being wary of curses or similar things that Manju might cast.

Although Qi shouldn't need to fear these things, he still needs to guard against the story that has already happened repeating itself here.

Six. “Look, even at this point, you still worry about unnecessary things and ponder things that happened long ago but could not actually exist.”

6. Manju naturally had no intention of playing with curses or anything like that; the shaking of the earth brought about cracks on the surface.

3. Cracks began to appear on the surface of the city's strata, and the tremors intensified, as if the entire city was facing an apocalyptic catastrophe.

4. The massive flood that filled the city poured into the cracks in the earth, rapidly engulfing the land and accelerating its disintegration, causing mud and sand to fall into the ground as well.

At this moment, everyone can see the huge cavity beneath the city that has been shaped and constructed during this period.

Er used the power of disaster to mimic the effects of nature, thus causing this miraculous structure, which should not have formed in the first place, to appear beneath the city.

Manju placed the seven gates belonging to the underworld, which he had previously created through the construction of the basement, into the underground cavity beneath the city created by the earthquake, thus completing the underground cavity's structural components belonging to the underworld.

Although it wasn't efficient enough to form a true underworld, it was enough to give birth to that dark, incomplete sun, enough to allow the world where giants could stride across once more to reappear.

The water that flowed into the void on the ground was transformed from abundant water into a raging, world-destroying flood. Now, it has fallen into the underworld, passed through the seven gates of the underworld, and changed their nature once again.

The world-destroying flood washed away the aura of calamity from itself and turned to embrace the underworld. The aura brought by the world-destroying flood increased the underworld, and the flood, cleansed by the underworld, was also reborn.

The two reinforce each other, allowing this power to be exerted and the underworld to become more stable.

Following this are the layers upon layers of gates to the underworld, allowing the floodwaters flowing into the underworld to form a river that runs through the entire underworld, thus creating the scene that the world should have.

The earth continued to tremble, forming mountain ranges through the movement of the lower layers. Although they were not very high peaks, they were enough to reflect the power of the heart of the mountain as the king of the leopards, allowing it to exercise what it should exercise.

"The underworld... Because of the environment of the Sumerian era, combined with your authority as the god of the underworld, you were able to create a new underworld so easily in the hollow beneath the city."

Jingu could clearly see the situation below. It was indeed an underground underworld that had appeared below. This was quite common in the Sumerian world, since the underworld in the Sumerian world was underground, not in some distant place, and was practically within reach.

“Mother, if we fall into the underworld, it may cause your authority to become ineffective, and if we enter it, we may truly face the danger of death.”

The underworld is a dangerous place; after all, the threat of death is undeniable and even unavoidable.

At least, as long as it inflicts irreversible damage, it can pose a real threat to both of them, which possess extremely strong regenerative abilities.

Both Gorgon and Jingu possess regenerative abilities beyond those of ordinary people, even to the point of being considered immortal.

"Having come this far, if we can't kill him today, will we really have any other good opportunities to kill him in the future?"

Both sides knew that this imposter, who claimed to be Enlil and was supposedly wielded the power of several gods, was only in this predicament because his influence in this land was still shallow.

If he were to truly obtain what he deserved on this land, like the god Enlil, and become the new ruler of the earth, then he would be irresistible.

In this case, even if there is a risk of death, we still need to move forward. This is unavoidable and must be done. Everyone knows this.

Jin Gu remained silent, hesitant for a moment, unsure of what decision to make.

"What? At the last minute, you've lost your previous confidence? But that's normal. How could any rational person not feel fear when facing the King of Gods? It's normal to shrink back and not dare to move forward."

When Manju saw the two, he did not jump down to the underworld immediately, but hesitated in front of the crack in the earth before speaking.

The city's land continues to sink into mud, forming land and mountains, but at such a rate of subsidence, it's impossible for people to willingly fall in.

To make people fall from the ground, one would have to do what was done in Uruk: directly shatter the earth's surface with external force to sink them into the underworld.

However, it was completely unnecessary for Manjushri to do such a thing. The dark sun would pass through the seven gates of the underworld and rise again into the sky of the underworld and the sky of the world, shining once more on the world he once ruled.

By reversing the seven gates of the underworld, the dark sun regained all the powers that belonged to the underworld, thus truly rising into the sky without needing any external force.

Manjus had no intention of letting them fall into the underworld. Gorgon might not even set foot here. Kingu might seize this opportunity to kill Gorgon, or he might not, so there was no need.

Let the sun rise, even if it is a dead sun, a broken black sun that once shone on the first sun age when giants strode proudly.

⑧Manju used his hands to pry open his own heart, letting his still strangely beating, dark heart call upon its power.

Wu: "I don't need you to voluntarily step into my territory. Just bow down before my kingdom and die like a stray dog ​​at the gates of my domain."

As Qi Manshu spoke, she raised the hand from which the heart had been dug out high, and the dark sun rose from the earth of the underworld, passing through the seven gates and ascending into the sky.

The sun continues to rise, even breaking out of the underworld that it alone controls. This dead sun will continue to rise, eternally rising, returning from death to reality, freeing itself from the torment of death, and being reborn once more.

The terrifying, pitch-black sun brought with it a horrible, furious roar that was overwhelming and destructive.

(iii) Jingu and Gorgon looked at the black sun rising from the underground cavern below with rather strange expressions. They had seen this black sun before, not long ago.

However, this sun was not as powerful at that time. Beef Noodles was really clever. After being nourished by the underworld, this sun had become so powerful that it could not be ignored.

The question that Si even needs to consider is whether they can really defeat this sun now? At this point.

"We have no choice but to give it a try. If we can't shoot the sun down from the sky and stop it from rising from the underworld, all we can do is temporarily evacuate."

They could clearly perceive this, not just as a manifestation of power, but as a pure threat.

This sun is about to regain its power, and once it successfully rises, its effects will undoubtedly be unstoppable and uncontrollable.
