The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

"Quetzal Koyatt, how much energy do you have left? You'd better just hand over your position."

Since Manjuskoye chose to appear, it was naturally because he wanted Quetzal Koyatl to step down and he himself to take the field.

Time has been reduced, so there's no need to make any sacrifices. If there are more people, it will be more lively in the end, which is a good thing.

"No, I still have all four limbs, so of course I still have strength. Besides, I am the Fire Bird, you know. As long as my wings are still intact, I can flap them and soar high countless times."

Quetzal Koyatl, showing no weakness, gripped his obsidian sword, indicating that he still had the strength to fight.

"It seems to me that you intend to take flight one last time and never come down again. Or are you planning to show off in front of your old acquaintances and not want to lose face? There's no need for that. I've already invited that leopard-man guy and promised to give her my heart as a reward for the warrior at the victory celebration banquet, so that she can enjoy the heart of a living sacrifice for the first time on this land."

Therefore, nothing can leave this place, witness the stories that unfold here, or, if you so desire, this heart can ultimately become your sacrifice, Quetzalcoatl.

Chapter 183 Obstruction

Quetzal Koyatl did not accept Manshu's invitation, which was not something she would have done in the first place; it was an act of opposition to her.

Moreover, he found the heart even more repulsive. Although it wasn't real, it exuded the unmistakable aura of Tescatlipoca.

"Since this fails to convince you, let's test our efficiency, Quetzal Koyatl."

Jiao Manshu saw that Quetzalcoatl remained unmoved, while Tiamat continued to advance in the distance, and it would take a little more time to reach the defensive line of the Fang of Nabistine.

It would be unwise for L to waste any more time on words, as that would only allow the situation to worsen, rendering his presence here meaningless.

"Quetzalcoatl, you wouldn't refuse that, would you? Let's see who can stop Tiamat's advance before sacrificing themselves."

U. Manjussiere made this suggestion, but Quetzalcoatl probably wouldn't agree, since Quetzalcoatl's magic power was truly running low after the solar winds had evaporated the Chaos Tide several times.

She set off again intending to sacrifice herself and give everything to stop Tiamat. She was indeed a firebird, so she planned to burn to ashes in the flames rather than fall into the water below and have her flames extinguished.

"That was indeed a bit much, so what now? Accept my power. It's not just for you, but also for Fujimaru Ritsuka, isn't it? Even though this world is about to end, you should be interested in staying a couple more days, right?"

As Bamanshu spoke, he hesitated for a moment before cutting off one of his fingers. The fingernail on the fingernail still reflected the light of obsidian, forming a mirror.

Wu: "My condition...has recovered?"

Qi Quetzal Koyatl was surprised to feel the changes happening to his body. The magic power he had just used to unleash his Noble Phantasm seemed to have been completely wasted.

Even the pain caused by the magic circuits carrying magic power, and the wounds on her body from being pierced and torn by Rahm, all disappeared without a trace.

Rather than saying he's recovered, it's more accurate to say that...

"You're manipulating time? Reverting my physical state back to its very beginning? The powers of Tescatlipoca are not something a Servant can abuse..."

"It's harmless, it's just something we should do to make the conditions fair. Now you shouldn't have any reason to refuse, Quetzal Koyatl."

Tan Manshu didn't care much about this; he had long since stopped taking care of his body.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have offered his own body as a sacrifice in the very beginning.

These are all consumables and can be used freely, as long as it doesn't cost you your life.

Baal's power continues, and the power of the God of Abundance that shines upon this land still resides in Manjushri's body, allowing him to be truly indifferent to it.

As long as he doesn't lose all his eyesight or his hearing, and as long as it doesn't affect his normal activities, any other cost is acceptable.

"Then let's do it. Although I'm not really keen, since we've come this far, I can't refuse. Like we said last time, let's have another physical conversation!"

Quetzal Koyatl did not refuse again. With his condition fully recovered, he smiled and squinted his eyes as he readily agreed.

"Then we'll leave this place to the two of us. Ishtar, I'm entrusting my Master to you."

"Have a safe journey. Good luck, Quetzal Koyatl. Compared to that guy who inexplicably went up Mount Ebif to provoke me, I support you, my fellow goddess, much more."

Ishtar nodded and said that, comparatively, she was definitely more supportive of Quetzal Koyatl.

After all, Manshu's actions towards her were certainly not pleasing. It should be said that when Ishtar saw Manshu again, she did not immediately attack him because she realized that she could not fight against Manshu for the time being, and that doing so would only bring her trouble.

"That's not how it works. At that time, the information I received was that the goddesses appeared as enemies of humanity. Who knew that one of the goddesses was not involved at all, and didn't even know or understand anything, yet she just wandered comfortably in the high heavens of Sumer?"

Manshu waved his hand innocently, and without waiting for Ishtardo to say anything, he immediately disappeared from the spot and reappeared in the sky a hundred meters away the next moment.

"I guess he knew about it, but at this point, there's really no time to dwell on it anymore. Once it's all over..."

Ishtar is not someone who can be easily fooled. She doesn't believe what Manshu says at all, so there's nothing she can do now. She can only keep the grudge in mind for later.

"Alright, then I'm going too. Master, please watch closely. I'll use my secret aerial techniques to win this match and knock Tiamat to the ground!"

Seeing that Manju had already taken action, Quetzal Koyatl did not delay any longer and immediately soared into the sky and flew upwards.

"Don't worry about what methods that guy is planning to use. Just unleash your strongest attack and settle things once and for all. Now, watch my aerial techniques again. This time, it's no ordinary move. It's a technique I've meticulously modified and perfected!"

Quetzal Koyatl continued to climb higher, as she needed sufficient height to unleash her flying kick. The higher the better, allowing her to fully unleash herself and truly transform into a force of destruction that sweeps away everything on earth.

"I once said this... that the weapons of the Mesopotamian world could not harm her in the slightest. But! This body is not a weapon of this land, but the divinity of a distant magic mirror!"

The sound of Mesopotamia is nothing to me. Let me show you the immense power of my fifth-class South American underworld, a power that has caused the extinction of countless lives. I will transform into burning rock, into a comet to annihilate the earth!

Here it comes—Ultiomo Tope Patada! Burn, fighting spirit, 'The flames will burn even the gods!'

A surge of magical power converged on Quetzalcoatl, and a raging ball of flames was formed, which then fell from the sky like a shooting star.

Quetzal Koyatl imitates the meteorite that crashed into the Americas tens of millions of years ago, plunging the entire world into darkness, and the life-extinct killer that wiped out the masters who once ruled this land.

Quetzal Koyatl's target is the Mother of Origins, the source of all life, and the destructive power of extinction—the meteorite that destroyed the old ecosystem—is the one destined to fall and bring ruin upon her.

The flames that burned everything struck Tiamat's horns, which she used for flight. In her perfect state, with her divine nature fully intact, Quetzalcoatl possessed terrifying power.

A fiery kick falling from the sky shattered the giant horn representing the earth.

Tiamat's right horn was shattered, preventing the goddess Tiamat from taking flight.

“Aaaaaaaa……”

Tiamat's deafening voice emanated from her mouth, almost shattering the air itself.

However, simply breaking one corner is not enough.

Manshu couldn't just watch Quetzal Cotton attack; he only intended to enjoy the flying kick that imitated the dinosaur killer.

It's time to redouble our efforts, especially since what Manju paid wasn't eternal, but merely an overdraft.

The finger that Uncle Mai cut off and left on the ground is now mostly withered, as if it had been dried out.

After Quetzalcoatl successfully shattered Tiamat's horn with a flying kick, he planned to unleash the solar wind once more to evaporate the chaotic tide below, thus completely halting Tiamat's advance.

Having eliminated Tiamat's ability to fly, all that remains is to stop the emergence of the Chaos Tide. Although it will still be extremely costly, Quetzalcoatl believes that she has already won the game the moment the solar wind arrives, so sacrificing herself will not count.

Since that's the case, there's nothing to hold back. Being able to get back to form is the best thing ever, so we should seize this opportunity.

Although this effect came from someone she didn't like, that person wasn't actually that annoying spider, or rather, snake.

It was obviously a bull or something, that much was clear, but I was probably a little confused at first, which is why I couldn't recognize it.

But now Quetzal Koyatl is somewhat able to turn a blind eye to these things. Although she keeps saying that she is unfriendly to the leopard people, she never actually does it.

If what the leopard-man truly expressed was complete disgust and hatred, how could he possibly have remained in that dense forest?

"The time has come, Quetzal Koyatl. Now it's time to hand over the stage to me. I've been quite cooperative in watching you burn as the sun in the sky, and it's already quite good that I didn't move your flames to smother the sky at the very beginning. So I think you should also cooperate and give up your place. Since this is Sumerian land, let the sun rise here, or at least let the sun that is worthy of rising here rise."

Manju's voice rang out behind Quetzalcoatl, who was about to unleash his Noble Phantasm. Quetzalcoatl immediately realized that his physical condition was reversing, and he had returned to his previous state of depleted magic and damaged body.

"As expected, I don't think good things come so easily. But, can you really raise the sun that suits this land? If it's a sun that rose before me, I won't hesitate to shoot it down."

Quetzal transit∥(group: 9∈B4≈：⑧』＝⒋≠〉二×疚↓B4∏∮wu·Koyatl showed a knowing look, not finding it strange, just regretting that it was a bit too fast.

"Don't worry that before that dark sun rises from the water and falls into my heart from the void, another sun will leap from the sand in my voice and fall into my eyes."

Manju smiled and said that this was indeed something he didn't need to worry about at all. Compared to the dark sun, the sun that hung over that scorching land, the land of life nurtured by the Nile, was what he had originally received.

However, since it needs to be in line with the local conditions, let's lay some groundwork first to avoid people saying anything too outrageous.

"Shamash, when you rise above the towering mountains, when you rise above the mountain of death!"

The sun of this land is called Shamash, though in this era it should actually be called Utu. The sun does not rise from here, but from afar, from Nippur.

That sun will rise from the high mountain at the center of the world where the gods dwell, that sun will streak across the sky of the underworld from the mountains of the underworld, ruling over the world and the underworld with the light of judgment.

But Manjustra did not intend to actually summon the sun; he merely took a few ideas, sculpted a sun to fill the surface, and made it rise here.

Without a doubt, this sun belongs to this land, and Quetzal Koyatl has no room for argument.

"My lion, go and devour the sun, take everything from me, and you will be as tall as your father, as fierce as the legends say."

Manju then removed his eyes again, allowing Sekhmet to merge the rising sun into himself, transforming into a glittering golden sun.

"Although this sun is not located in Mesopotamia, it is not far from this land, and it has been communicating with this land for a much longer time."

The exchange between Egypt and Sumer began quite early. Before the Early Dynastic Period of Sumer, during the era of Uruk's outward colonization, there were already signs of communication between the two sides.

Both civilizations influenced each other, and this influence extends to later periods. In mythology alone, Sumer and Egypt had many points of convergence, with Egypt adopting many gods from Mesopotamia.

In any case, this sun has nothing to do with the Americas, and Quetzal Coyatter can't see anything about it, at least for the time being, he has nothing to refute.

In any case, all that needs to be done is to evaporate the Chaos Tide, preventing Tiamat from advancing any further.

Those flying Rahms couldn't do much, and Manju could still stop them, since he wouldn't need to stop them for long anyway.

This time it won't take as long, only half a day, which is more than enough time.

All we need to do is wait for the time to run out before releasing Tiamat to go to Uruk.

“If you can’t hold on any longer, then I’ll take over. As the God of the Underworld, you should be able to play a greater role in the battles that follow.”

Chapter 184 The Underworld

With the Chaos Tide evaporated and her own feet destroyed so she could no longer transform into wings, it seemed that Tiamat could no longer move forward.

But can those bodies really be stopped so easily? Even though one of the horns was shattered, there are probably other parts that can be modified and changed.

That means the body itself can be reshaped and continuously modified.

Manju had no hope that evaporating the Chaos Tide would stop Tiamat.

It was just eliminating the external factors that bothered him. Although there were ways to deal with the pitch-black, muddy chaotic tide, one still needed to be careful when stepping on it.

"It's not over yet. This Mother Goddess of Origin is not someone who will be captured easily. Before she reaches Uruk, before she completes her revenge, and before she returns, her steps will probably not stop. She will keep moving forward."

So Manju didn't intend to stay in the sky any longer. He simply let the sun continue to hang in the sky to evaporate the chaotic tides below, while he himself headed towards Tiamat's body.

“Although I am not a local, I should still bear the responsibility of the name Enlil. At the very least, I should fulfill the powers and tasks of Marduk. Everyone should come to defeat you, even if you were still the Mother Goddess, I would still defeat you, let alone now that you have become Beast II.”

The story of Tiamat's defeat and creation comes from Enlil and Sumer. By the end of the Sumerian era, Babylon and Assyria had taken over the vast lands of Mesopotamia.

To legitimize their rule, the Babylonians elevated Marduk to the status of king of the gods in mythology, replacing Enlil with him and taking away his story.

The Assyrians in the upper Mesopotamia did the same thing, directly taking the story written by the Babylonians and replacing the story of Gamarduk replacing Enlil with Ashur replacing Enlil.
