The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Those who are about to cover the world are the perfect next-generation humans she designed. The old humans will once again be abandoned and eliminated. This star is ours, so this time it truly is farewell forever. You will silently perish on the land they cover.

Kingu had lost interest in eliminating the people before him. From the moment Tiamat awoke from her dream, he had already achieved victory, and his goal had been fully accomplished.

These guys, who represent the old humans, are meaningless now. They are no match for the awakened Tiamat, and no one can stop them.

So there's no need for him to do anything anymore; there's no need to waste time and energy on these losers, these guys who are destined to be eliminated.

He needed to hurry to the Persian Gulf and to the presence of Tiamat, rather than wasting time here.

After saying his final words to the opponents he had been fighting against during this period, King Gu turned and headed towards the Persian Gulf without looking back.

"Jingu has left, but Doctor, Mr. Merlin...!"

Mashu was still concerned about Merlin, who had just coughed up blood and looked severely injured, but not knowing how to treat him, she naturally asked Dr. Roman.

"Ugh, this is a real headache. It was my mistake. I thought I could buy some time, but instead, it has accelerated the situation. We need to get back to Uruk quickly. Although they've woken up, they haven't taken any action yet. Even though we can't avoid total annihilation, there's still a plan we can devise."

"Tell King Gilgamesh that the Beast of Restraint, which devours humanity and suppresses reason—the Sea of ​​Life, the Mother of Origin, one of the seven evils of humanity—that could originally only be fought by the seven Grand-class Riders, has awakened."

Merlin could no longer remain here. Having used illusions to keep the goddess in a dream, he would naturally be crushed the moment she awoke.

What exists here is merely Merlin's shadow. As the nightmare Merlin, to put the goddess to sleep, he must naturally delve into the goddess's dream.

However, since Tiamat's awakening was a foreseen future event, Merlin's actions could not be considered superfluous; they merely influenced the timing of this event.

No wonder Dr. Roman said that Merlin's Thousand-Mile Eye was the most useless thing, after all, it can only see the current clairvoyance, which is indeed much less useful.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that this kind of telescopic vision looks like a higher-level telescopic vision, simply able to see farther.

Whether it was the goddess standing at the end of the world or Gilgamesh still sitting in the temple of Uruk, they both saw the future, they saw Tiamat eventually awaken from her dream, and all of this was unstoppable.

Seeing Merlin gradually disappear, everyone realized the urgency of the situation and looked at Ishtar.

It would be too slow for them to get back to Uruk on foot. The only ones here who have their own means of transportation are Ishtar and Ninurta, but Ninurta's chariot is obviously buried underneath, and whether it still exists is questionable.

Moreover, running on the ground is probably not as fast as Ishtar's celestial boat.

Ishtar also realized that the awakening of Tiamat was real, so without wasting any time, she immediately boarded her celestial ark, Maana, and rushed back to Uruk.

"Father also knows that the real Tiamat will awaken, and Lord Merlin's actions can only delay, not stop, this matter."

"Please come with me back to Nippur first. The journey back to Uruk from Nippur will likely be difficult. The numerous life forms you have observed are the last divine beings born of Tiamat, Rahm. We will have enough time to spread them throughout the regions of Sumer."

Ninurta said calmly, not caring too much about what had happened, since it was something he had been asked to do beforehand, and he didn't need to think about it too much.

“That’s right. Let’s go to Nippur. It’s probably the safest place in all of Mesopotamia now, since it’s the farthest from the Persian Gulf.”

Nippur, located in front of the northern wall, is indeed the city farthest from the Persian Gulf at this moment, so the attack from Rahm will not arrive so quickly, nor will the number of attackers be so large.

The group wasted no time and headed to Nippur.

Beneath the walls of Nippur, the monsters that had attacked the city crumbled with the death of Gorgon, and the defending warriors breathed a sigh of relief, sitting down on the city walls to rest.

Quetzal Koyatl stopped what she was doing. Beating up one or two monsters was fine, but actually slaughtering a whole horde of monsters would violate the Three Goddess Alliance.

Therefore, Quetzalcoatl blesses the warriors on the walls here, while the ones truly slaying the monsters are the leopard people and the leopard warriors she has trained.

After the battle, Quetzal Koyatl naturally withdrew her blessing and headed towards the city of Nippur.

Before leaving, the Chaldeans naturally told the city about Quetzalcoatl, since this goddess would be in charge of the defense of this area.

Having just fought together, the people of the city naturally regarded Quetzalcoatl as a friendly deity, and could only watch with envy as she walked up the giant cliff in the center of the city.

"The monster horde has collapsed. I'm preparing to head forward to meet up with Master and the others."

Quetzal Koyatl had no interest in staying in Nippur; he was simply saying goodbye out of a sense of duty to his allies after this matter was settled.

“Go and meet Fujimaru and the others? That is indeed something we need to do. With Gorgon's death, the greatest enemy of this singularity will also be resurrected. If you go to meet them, I can handle everything with peace of mind and not worry about any accidents.”

Manju nodded, indifferent to Quetzalcoatl's fate. Even if Tiamat were to revive, there would be no one here capable of killing Quetzalcoatl, so he would let her go wherever she pleased.

"The greatest enemy of this singularity?"

“Yes, the real Tiamat, Gorgon’s self-proclaimed Tiamat is not without roots. The Mother of Creation, who was regarded as useless after creation and banished to the Imaginary World, has returned to this world. She will follow her instincts, reshape the entire planet’s ecosystem, and return once again as the Mother of All Things.”

Therefore, no matter how you mention Amazon, it is definitely an enemy. In the reshaped ecosystem, nature has no place for life in the old ecosystem.

All those things will be eliminated, eliminated in the creation of the world by the goddess of creation once again.

Therefore, humanity must refuse Tiamat's return unless they are willing to accept their own destruction.

"However, there is still some time before the real great demon opens his eyes and wakes up, so there is nothing to worry about."

After seeing Quetzal Koyatl off, Manjuschadenfreude continued to devote himself to what he was doing, except to keep an eye on the situation in Uruk, and nothing else.

Tiamat's awakening did not signify a beginning, but rather served as a harbinger, indicating that there was still time to wait.

"Are you both alright? That's great, you're really lucky."

Quetzal Koyatl also met up with Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others on the other side.

Quetzalcoatl flew over Nippur, and Quetzalcoatl and his group, including Fujimaru Ritsuka, rode back to Uruk.

"Oh dear, I forgot to ask Quetzal Koyatel for a Quetzalcoatl. How could I forget that? I should have made her give it to me as an apology gift."

The Quetzalcoatl flying over Nippur stirred some of Manshu's thoughts, causing him to slap his thigh and say regretfully.

He had always been interested in Quetzalcoatl's Quetzalcoatl, filled with curiosity about this ancient life form from such a distant past.

However, I may have been a bit out of it lately, and I actually forgot about it for a moment. But there's nothing I can do about it now. I'll just have to get a closer look next time.

At this moment, Rahim, who landed in Sumer from the Persian Gulf, had already reached Eridu and Ur. Eridu at least still had the soldiers trained by Quetzal Koyatl during this period who could resist.

But all those in Ur who still had the courage and fighting spirit to fight were conscripted to Elidu. The only people left in the city were the old, weak, and women. When Lahm arrived, it was clear that only a bloody massacre would take place in the city.

The city's inhabitants let out mournful howls, uttered inappropriate sounds, and curses.

"What is that? What is that? Didn't they say they would let us go? Didn't they say we wouldn't be killed as long as we obeyed the goddess?"

The people in the city either stood frozen in despair or, following their instincts, hurriedly ran towards Uruk without looking back.

But how much better is the situation in Uruk? Although the number of monsters landing from the Persian Gulf is not as many as 100 million, 100,000 Rahm have crawled out of the sea, of which 20,000 are heading to Uruk.

Although there are individual differences in the speed of these Rahms, the slowest can reach 30 kilometers per hour, while the fastest can reach over 100 kilometers per hour. It only takes three hours to travel from the Persian Gulf to Uruk.

If the cities behind Uruk hadn't been largely preserved, the number of Rahms attacking Uruk would probably have been more than double.

Behind Uruk are many other cities such as Lagash, Gilsu, and Ummatoll, and Rahm naturally had to send troops there as well.

Let alone 10 or 2, even just a few thousand would be enough to destroy the defenses of Uruk's walls and storm into the city.

That's a monster even more terrifying than Ugal. To fight a monster like Ugal, the warriors on the city walls need to form teams of a dozen or more to work together.

"Eek, don't come any closer, don't come any closer, someone... help me, is there anyone who can—!"

When the Quetzalcoatl arrived over Uruk, Rahm had already arrived in the city. The city walls had been destroyed, and the city was in chaos and turmoil.

The citizens of Uruk were fleeing in all directions on the streets of Silk. Although some areas were able to organize resistance occasionally, the resistance was meaningless.

The weapons the eight soldiers held were unable to pierce Rahm's skin, so any resistance became a pointless act.

④ Neither the spear in his hand nor the drawn bow and arrow mattered.

2 "It hurts, it hurts so much—Ahhhhh! No, please don't, no, why is it splitting open vertically, starting from my toes? It hurts so much, it hurts so much—!"

The screams of agony rose and fell, turning this city, which had been full of life not long ago and had not yet declined in the war, into a living hell.

"That's enough, monster! Mash, let's go!"

Five...

How did you feel about this trip?

Ninurta returned to Nippur and did not continue traveling with Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others.

His initial goal was to subdue the Gorgon, which had nothing to do with what followed, so he couldn't act arbitrarily.

Although it wouldn't have mattered if Ninurta went with Manshu, now that the other party had returned, Manshu looked up and asked him with interest.

"Although I had some confidence in my strength before setting out, it now seems that the power of the evil god who is coveting Sumer is still something I cannot contend with."

The daily prayers of the people of this city, which had solidified my divinity, were completely exhausted in this simple exchange. I'm afraid I won't be able to get involved in the next battle; next time, I'll have to let Nergal act on your behalf, Father.”

Ninurta shook his head. His power was indeed not enough to contend with Kingu. It was already quite an achievement that he was able to survive Kingu's Noble Phantasm.

"There's no need to belittle yourself. What you possess is still only a very shallow form of divinity. If you were complete and in a perfect form, you might not be unable to fight King Gu."

Ninurta still possesses power; in mythology, his presence is perhaps second only to the goddess Inanna.

Ninurta appears in mythology more often than any other god, mostly showcasing his abilities as a warrior.

He defeated the demon Asad, who was harming the rivers, and rearranged the mountains of the Sumerian world, causing all the lakes and rivers to flow into the Tigris and Euphrates.

He defeated the Anzu bird, reclaimed the Fate Plate that had been stolen from Enriel, and obtained it from the three Enki gods.

The myths about defeating those strange minor gods and heroes are mostly fragmented stories, and no complete myths have been preserved. However, some scholars believe that the story of defeating many enemies and undergoing several trials may have influenced the creation of Hercules' Twelve Trials.

However, it was not Ninurta who truly made contact with Heracles in the back room, but rather Ninurta's brother, Nergal.

In the ancient city of Hatra in Iraq, there are reliefs depicting a fusion of Nairgal and Hercules, a product of the Parthian Empire.

During the Assyrian period, Nergal was associated with many gods, including the Elamite god Simut, who was associated with Nergal because of his role as the god of Mars.

Kurmar, the deposed king of the gods of the Hurians, was connected to Enlil and Dagon later on because of his nature as a god of agriculture.

Until the Hellenistic period, the beliefs of Nergal in cities such as Palmyra, Hatra, and Tarsus naturally merged with those of the Greek gods.

This isn't too strange, since that's exactly what the Greeks loved to do: equate the gods of other nations and cultures with the gods of Greek mythology and refer to them directly by their Greek names.

Just as Herodotus described in his history, the Sumerian sacred prostitute culture referred to Ishtar as Aphrodite.

However, the story of the holy prostitute was something Herodotus heard secondhand, so it cannot be considered a true account.

Urodotus himself was not so meticulous in his research; rather than writing accurate history, he often preferred to record stories with a legendary flair.

Furthermore, Nelghar and Heracles are also confused with the Anatolian god Sandas, who was a god of war and possibly associated with plague or the underworld.

“Then continue to fulfill your duties in the city, Ninurta. This mountain needs you, and Nippur needs you just the same. Nothing else can compare to that.”

“I know this very well, my Father. Nothing is more important than the great cliff where you dwell, nothing is more sacred than your dwelling place on earth.”

With that, Ninurta took his leave and returned to the palace at the foot of the mountain to continue dealing with matters in the city and adjusting the high mountain behind him.

Manshu naturally didn't do anything more to the mountain, because there was no longer much need for it. Ninurta was created to share his burdens, so if he could do it, why should he do it himself?

"Rahim's first attack is over. Uruk's losses were less than I expected. I should get ready to set off now. There will be no collapse or destruction here in Nippur."
