The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

These are all ancient civilizations that have long since vanished, and Manshu's feelings upon seeing them were naturally akin to seeing dinosaurs from an even more distant era. 4

The Sumerians no longer exist. The people who can be traced back to them are probably the swamp Arabs. But would anyone really believe that they were Sumerians?

Manjushri was worshipped in Nippur, and although he chose the city, its inhabitants made the same choice.

This is a purely transactional relationship, and Manjusaki would naturally choose to protect them to the best of his ability.

In Uruk, people act solely on their mood, without letting it affect their actions or causing any damage.

Of course, if it were a sudden whim, it wouldn't be impossible to abandon Nippur and head for Uruk.

He still possesses the power to do as he pleases for the time being, and it is precisely because of this power that he can do so.

Therefore, since Siduri's existence was on his mind, it could not be ignored. Manshu thought about the scene in Elidu and how to get there quickly and cast a spell that could still save people from Lahem.

"The zodiac has been basically perfected by my calculations over the past few days, but unfortunately there is something even more dominant in the sky, which means that the stars in the Sumerian sky can never completely belong to me."

However, the zodiac, which has been arranged, still plays a role. The glittering stars created by magic can replace the stars in the sky or even obscure the sky.

"Nergal, manage the underworld well for me during this time, and don't let Ereshkigal discover our scheme to steal souls."

In this underworld created by Manjushri himself, there were also the dead who were to be received. Warriors who died in the battle of Nippur would come here, and some of those who died in other places in Sumer were also intercepted.

After all, Manjushri created the seven gates of this underworld from Ereshkigal, so sneaking around and stealing some souls shouldn't be so easy to be discovered.

Ninurta is currently too weak, and Nergal is also unable to leave his post in charge of the Underworld, so Manjusaka will have to make the trip himself.

But it's time to go out for a walk; sitting in one's own temple all the time can be uncomfortable.

Although Manshu has completely gotten used to it and doesn't feel anything, it's not a bad thing to go out for a walk when you have free time.

People's thoughts are always changing, or rather, they are determined by their mood and interests.

"What's going on, Solomon? Mother has woken up, but why isn't she on the ground?"

Above Elidu, King asked the Magic King, puzzled.

"It's a seal. There's another seal, Kingu. She's bound, bound by that vast ocean. The wandering Gorgon is elevated to a goddess, Quetzalcoatl appears through a chain summoning, and Ereshkigal is summoned by the witches of Uruk. Through an alliance, these goddesses are made to contend with each other, while simultaneously tying down the King of Uruk's actions."

Your skill is indeed impressive and deserves full praise, but that's not enough. Your work isn't over yet, Jingu.

Although humanity has been destroyed, a life form called Uruk still exists to break the seal and destroy her. If we do that, even a fickle singularity will disappear, and human history will likely end in this era, even without my intervention.

"Finally, we can reclaim all of time and all the light bands in spacetime. Now, all that's left is for you to unleash the hammer of punishment on humanity."

"That's what the Magic King said."

"Yes, according to the agreement, this era is to be taken over by us, and only humanity will be destroyed. Mother will create a new world, and I will inherit it as a new human, because this is the only wish of Tiamat, the goddess who was abandoned by humanity."

“That’s wonderful. Your words contain unwavering conviction, and you have the strength to make it happen. Of course, I support you. But—but only if she really wants it that way.”

The Magic King's words were quite ambiguous, suggesting he knew the truth.

"Really... I hope so...? Don't talk nonsense, is that even a question? Tiamat gave birth to me for this reason, believe me, and entrust the Holy Grail to me."

Kingu had no doubts about this matter, was absolutely certain of his mission, and was quite sure what Tiamat's wish was.

Chapter 175 Separation

"Stop...stop, please, stop—"

The pitiful cries of humans echoed through the city of Elidu under the cover of night.

Rahm would grab people from the crowds they abducted, then gather them together, manipulating and observing the humans.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Humans can't move like this!"

However, their methods of observation were not so friendly; they involved extremely cruel acts of tormenting the human body.

The captured humans are quickly killed, collapsing under the strain and exertion that the human body simply cannot withstand.

"Killed them again. Was that because they were observing humans?"

Jingu watched Rahmu's actions from above. Although he acknowledged that Rahmu was also a creation of his mother, he still found it difficult to understand the other's behavior.

"They have no sense of propriety whatsoever. They're even less than monsters, like ants, playing with destruction and gnashing their teeth in glee... It's almost like human laughter. There should be a limit to how lowly they can be. Why would a mother give birth to such a creature?"

"Chi chi chi..."

Rahmu was only making strange, indistinguishable noises from below, which made Jingu give up trying to understand them anyway, since it was pointless anyway.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. It's just the army anyway. As long as I'm in the world, that's enough. I don't need any partners or family, or even friends, because I'm the only one who has completed the new human race."

But…no, I can’t hear my mother’s voice. Before, I could hear her weeping just by closing my eyes, but ever since the sea turned black, I can’t hear anything. Is it really true, as Solomon said, that we must break that seal? But is that really true? Who on earth has the power to bind the Mother of Origins?

Kingu now has something even more worthy of thought and worry: he can no longer hear Tiamat's voice, which is undoubtedly more worthy of investigation than the behavior of Rahm below.

"Someone is even approaching on the highway... and has actually abandoned their own city to launch a proactive attack? This time, you won't be so lucky."

The information brought by Jingu's perception made him temporarily stop thinking and decide to vent his doubts first.

……

"There was no one at the entrance, and the city lights had disappeared... Uruk, which was once so bustling, is now..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and her group also left Uruk, a city that had been vibrant not long ago but had completely lost all its prosperity.

Although the Ishtar Gate, adorned with glazed bricks, remains magnificent, the city appears dim under the cover of night, lacking sufficient light.

The light is shifting, moving from one city to another.

"Yes, a lot was lost in just one day, but look at that road over there, Mash. The firelight illuminating the night stretches out like a river, doesn't it? The survivors are forming teams and moving towards Nippur."

On the walls of Uruk, soldiers were also busy moving cannons according to the king's instructions. Uruk wasn't finished yet; everyone was doing what they could.

Quetzal Koyatl pointed to the endless flames in the city fields. Although Uruk appeared dim today, the light had not disappeared, and hope still remained with the light.

"Yes, I am glad that you mourn for them, but it is not the right time. It doesn't matter. Uruk will survive this time. No matter the suffering caused by the great flood or the great famine, the city will always recover in an instant."

Ishtar agreed, saying that although the city had rejected her before, it was indeed her city nonetheless.

Along the river that once flowed through the city of Uruk, before the city of Brook was formed, settlements surrounded the temple of Ishtar, thus forming the city's prototype.

With hope in their hearts, the group marched forward, continuing into the darkness and into the dense forest of the night, heading towards Elidu.

"It's been a long time, Jingu. I was planning to log on and say hello like this. But unfortunately, I came here from Ur by crossing this forest. Since that filthy scene has been imprinted in my eyes, I can only purify everything that created it."

As Manju approached Elidu, Kingu was already prepared to meet the enemy, but before he could even see the figure, a terrifying, intensely hot magical force was already being hurled at him.

That was a deafening flash of lightning, the simplest manifestation of divine power. Manju exhaled a breath, and the sky filled with dark clouds; when he inhaled again, the wind blew from all directions.

"It seems that the Rahms who were left in Ur have all been killed by you. Hmm, those guys were just scattered soldiers after all, they couldn't stand up to an opponent like you."

Although the Rahms were created in the style of Enkidu, they have not yet developed into their full form, and the power they can exert is not that strong.

Jingu was in a fairly good mood, but he was still a little anxious because he couldn't get Tiamat's voice.

However, the arrival of the enemy allowed them to vent their anxiety somewhat, as hundreds of magical artifacts instantly flew out from the ground to counter the gale and lightning.

“I have no interest in you right now, Jingu. If you don’t want to die, get out of my way and wait until I’ve wiped out all the Rahm here before I come down to consider whether I should kill you.”

Manshu's attack was not aimed at Jingu. He summoned thunderclouds, winds, and rain to launch a large-scale attack to destroy all the Lahm in the city of Elidu.

"Although I can't understand these guys, they are undoubtedly the children of a mother. Even though they are trash, they are still brothers born of the same mother. How can you just kill them so easily?"

(ii) Although Kingu found Rahm's actions difficult to understand, and even thought that they might be inferior creations, perhaps mass-produced soldiers modeled after himself, they were at least creations of the god Tiamat.

Furthermore, they can be considered brothers, and even if one doesn't understand, one can still acknowledge their relationship. Therefore, it's impossible for one to stand idly by and watch such a thing happen.

"However, although they are not as good as you, with this number of Rahms and me together, you probably can't beat them even without Nippur."

"Although killing you now that Tiamat has awakened is pointless—after all, you pose no threat to her—since you've come looking for me, I'll eliminate you before my mother does."

4. Jingu had no desire to slaughter the remaining people on this land. If he saw them, he could attack and kill them, but he didn't care if he didn't.

The three Mattsons have awakened. Humans can no longer pose a threat to God. The old humans, destined to be eliminated, are now only facing their last struggle.

Before Tiamat, all these things were meaningless to Wu. Now, the only thing that mattered to Jingu was how to communicate with his mother again.

6. Rahm made a strange sound, knowing that a murderous enemy had arrived, and began to fight back.

"It seems you've made your choice. Then die here with your so-called brothers, Jingu."

These Rahms could not possibly be Kingu's brothers, since Kingu could not be the son of Tiamat.

In the mythology, Kingu is of course Tiamat's son, but the Kingu standing here is merely a synthetic monster created from Enkidu's corpse.

He certainly couldn't have come from Tiamat, because when Enkidu was created, Tiamat had already been banished to the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers.

However, it's meaningless; even if Jin Gu knew this, it wouldn't affect his actions.

"Before the great flood comes, the kingship descends upon Elidu. This is my judgment that has heard the clamor of the world and understood the evil that has occurred on earth, and that the great waters, which have washed away everything, will once again engulf the city."

When the thunderstorms that kept falling in the thunderstorms were blocked by Jingu, and only a few of the Rahm were killed by lightning, Manshu summoned another power.

The lightning continued to strike downwards relentlessly, while the rain accumulated in the clouds intensified, causing the torrential rain to fall uncontrollably, as if the sky, which had been blocking the sea, had been punctured and the seawater was pouring out through the hole.

"The dawn had just appeared on the horizon, while dark clouds rolled in from below. Adu roared in the clouds, with Surat and Hanish leading the way. The gods walked through the mountains and plains, Elagall uprooted the wooden pole, and wherever Ninurta went, the roads ceased to exist. The Anunnaki burned the lighthouses. Their light shone brightly, and the earth trembled. Because Adu's heavens were still, all that was light was plunged into darkness, and the whole earth cracked like a broken bowl."

This is the scene that descended upon the earth when the great flood came, and it is the text that the immortal beings who survived the flood told Gilgamesh.

The gods set out, following Enriel's commands, to bring destruction to the world.

In the Hall of Nine, where the gods gathered, Enlil had already made a pact with the gods and swore an oath with them.

In this pitch-black night sky, after the dark clouds have covered the sky, the only light that remains in the world is the endless lightning.

With Manjus's words, the phantoms of the gods were summoned to bring a devastating flood to Elidu.

"On the first day, the south wind howled and swept across, and the waters flooded the mountains like a war, covering the earth. Nothing was left in the world, and from the sky, no trace of humankind could be seen. The gods were terrified by the flood and left the world, fleeing to the heavens of Anu. They huddled together like dogs, forming a line."

The gods obeyed Enlil's will and sent a great flood upon the earth, but when the flood truly leveled everything on earth, the gods were terrified of such power.

Ishtar finally wept in grief, and the gods wept with her, immersed in sorrow.

The wind will blow for six days and seven nights, until the flood brought by the storm completely submerges the land, and the storm will not stop until the seventh day.

But it's clear that Manshu can't possibly hold out here for seven days with Rahim and Jingu; neither side has that kind of time.

Therefore, the storm is constantly being intensified and constantly drawing away moisture.

As a result, an unprecedented torrential rain fell on the ground, and in a short period of time, the ground was filled with water that was knee-deep.

“The great flood that Enlil used to destroy mankind is something you used before, and I have shown you how to resist it.”

Despite the torrential rain, Jiu Jingu remained calm and simply followed his previous plan to build a raft out of mud to cross the water.

"How can the Ark, which was only established because of Enki's betrayal, be of any use now? I went to the underworld of Ereshkigal, jumped into the deepest abyss of the underworld, and scooped up the water of Apsu in the abyss with my hands, in order to exercise Enki's power and make this great water impossible for anyone to cross."
