The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

When the shogunate first learned of the peasant uprising, it did not take it seriously and simply dispatched Itakura Shigemasa to quell the rebellion.

Under Amakusa's command, the rebel army defeated Itakura Shigemasa twice, and even killed Itakura Shigemasa with a musket.

The rebelling believers then began to cheer and celebrate.

God granted the boys the power to bring about miracles, enabling them to seize the opportunity for victory.

However, their victory unexpectedly led to an attack by an army of over 100,000. Under the orders of the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, Matsudaira Nobutsuna led an army of over 100,000 to suppress the uprising.

Miracles, in the final analysis, are things that happen only occasionally.

Despite the repeated attacks of the punitive forces being repelled, the rebels besieged in the city still had no hope.

When the city's food supplies ran out and a plague broke out due to death, everything was doomed.

He was far too naive at that time, because everyone was going crazy for the victory that was temporarily in his grasp.

They attributed their victory in a war they should not have won to the reliance on the Son of Miracles, forgetting one thing.

A poor rat bites a cat—but the cat that gets bitten will only be injured, and will immediately fly into a rage and kill the rat that bit it.

The elderly were beheaded; men were chopped up; infants were impaled; and young girls were brutally violated under the influence of desire.

In that scene, which could only be described as hell, it was not the enemy that took the lives of the tens of thousands gathered there, but themselves.

If they hadn't misjudged the overall situation, hadn't performed a miracle, and hadn't given this hope that shouldn't have existed at all, they shouldn't have died so wastefully.

So, God, please give me another chance. That was all Amakusa Shiro Tokisada prayed for.

He had been given the opportunity, and it was because God had once again brought forth a miracle that he was able to stand on the earth again and seize the opportunity he had lost.

"This time, I will definitely grasp all the goodness in the world and show you the perfect world."

Since the revelation is still falling upon me, there is absolutely no reason to give up.

"I will succeed, I will definitely succeed."

……

The Hanging Gardens were retreating, but this speed was certainly not enough.

The defensive spells were completely destroyed, and even a third of the spells themselves had collapsed. Even if they wanted to escape, it would take at least several minutes, or even longer.

Although it may not seem like a long time at first glance, the time it takes to raise and lower the sword is only a few seconds.

The shadow cast from the garden onto the ground was still strange and grotesque, but compared to a ferocious dragon baring its fangs and claws, the shadow seemed more like a burning palace.

It is the falling heavenly fire that will burn away all evil, whether it be a dragon or an oppressor, all will ultimately be negated and destroyed in the flames.

The bright red cross was swung down once more, and the retreating garden had no strength left to stop it.

But the power of the Command Seals activated the fallen hero at this moment, and the immense magical energy it stirred was the best thing for Karna.

For ordinary Servants, a body made of magic is completely irrelevant; even if they are shattered to pieces, they can be repaired as long as their spirit origin is intact.

For Karna, even if his Spirit Origin is damaged, it is by no means a fatal injury.

His extraordinary willpower allows him to overcome all devastating damage; as long as his golden armor remains and his magic power is sufficient, his body can continuously regenerate.

This is the super will of a hero, which, combined with the divine armor worn by Karna, enables him to perform incredible, even utterly impossible, feats.

Otherwise, even if the sword light were neutralized by the enemy's firepower, and only the remaining sword light fell on Karna, that dragon-slaying strike should have destroyed any hero.

The gleaming golden armor, supported by magical power, restored Karna's physical body to its former glory.

The Command Spell conveyed the order to Karna to launch a true, final, desperate attack.

The holy light of judgment descended from the sky, filling everything in the world and every corner of space with its radiance.

The scattered, surging flames relentlessly devoured everything in their path, and once they fell, the entire land would face its final judgment.

This is the final blow, the culmination of this night's work—no! It's the final power generated from days of accumulation.

From the moment the city was established, from the moment the two angels descended from heaven as guardians of the city-state, resuming their duties in Israel.

This judgment has already been promised, and all that has been done to oppress and to make the righteous shed their blood will be repaid.

And to stop such power, to block this light of utter destruction that is utterly destructive to those who face it.

Then there is only one choice left.

Karna shot flames from beneath his feet and flew into the sky, the holy light of judgment constantly disintegrating his body.

But Karna was unconcerned; amidst this extraordinary suffering and imminent death, he would carry out the original command he had been given.

He wanted to stop Archer so that he couldn't keep an eye on the distant Hanging Gardens.

To achieve this, relying solely on the divinity of the sun and the golden armor is merely enough to sustain one's physical body.

This is something that cannot last forever, just as miracles are ultimately only obtained by chance, and are merely things that appear temporarily.

At least Karna hoped for more than just obstruction; he also harbored a sliver of hope that he might win.

This is the dignity of a soldier; even if it means burning everything away, it is something one would be willing to do, and one would never utter words of defeat.

"Understand the mercy of the King of Gods."

Therefore, the only way to achieve victory is to deliver such a blow.

Only by unleashing that irresistible and inescapable, truly annihilating blow can we achieve our goal.

That annihilating spear, capable of defeating the gods and destroying every single being in the world.

If we are to pin our hopes on a single blow, then we must rely on this finishing blow.

Karna's innate golden armor was exchanged for this most powerful spear, said to be able to kill a god in a single strike.

"No hope, no reward, but even so, do you intend to continue?"

Manjushri, holding a bright red cross, swung it down and asked Karna.

The armor that supported Karna's existence was peeled off his body, blood seeping out, and the warrior's expression of pain intensified.

But his words were not shaken in the slightest and were recited without any change.

"Indra, watch carefully."

"It is Yu who asked the question of foolishness and arrogance. Since he has won the crown of heroism, he should naturally walk the path of surpassing others. Foolishness should be called arrogance."

Manju laughed out loud first, and changed the direction of the judgment he was about to unleash.

The garden in the distance should indeed be destroyed, but there is something far more valuable right now than destroying it.

This is not a resource-grubbing, indecisive, vicious, and hypocritical beast.

It is not a dragon that disguises itself as fierce, vicious, greedy, or self-important.

This is the transcendence of being a hero, even if one walks a blind path leading to an unfillable pit.

But it is still far more meaningful and more worthy of being grasped than that vain garden.

Just as a valiant lion is a hero's achievement, it is the defeat of such a hero that truly shines.

"O Commander of the heavenly armies, witness my great deeds."

"Extinction lies in this one stab."

Unnecessary words were also discarded. The golden armor vanished from Karna's body, and the holy, surging thunder spear appeared in his hand.

Compared to this gun, the weapons Karna had previously held seemed like mere toys.

Flames writhed around Karna like countless snakes, gathering magical power and unleashing all their power for this one moment.

"Burn completely—Sun Wheel, submit to death (Vasavi Shakti)!!"

"O Almighty Lord, bring down judgment!"

The Noble Phantasm, surpassing all limits, erupted with dazzling brilliance on this land, its annihilating spear, unleashed by two Command Seals, colliding with the descending Judgment.

Two enormous energies collided, creating a near-mad storm in space, an impact that threatened to tear the world apart.

Even the collision of the energy search:氿№∧〇寺＜－八4」∏佴ˉ№氿０`＜五 occurred in the sky, and everything on the ground had already ceased to exist, collapsing uncontrollably.

However, the released magic power was also constantly encroaching on the soil below, making the land below resemble sinking quicksand.

The God-Slaying Spear – "Sun, submit to death." It is a spear of certain destruction, composed of lightning.

Living beings, non-living beings, and even any object, including magical beasts, mythical beasts, divine beasts, humans, shields, armies, cities, barriers, and gods—nothing can withstand it.

However, when faced with a judgment that is equally capable of destroying everything, not even a single individual, but the entire world, it is a judgment that is capable of destroying everything.

This is a blow that shatters the world, a final judgment that has been handed down.

The God-Slaying Spear was at a disadvantage in the clash, unable to even put up a counterattack?

Karna was somewhat disappointed; in the end, despite his best efforts, he couldn't create an opportunity.

The cross of judgment slowly descended, the doomed thunder spear was being dismantled, and without the protection of his armor, Karna had no chance of surviving.

However, his concern wasn't for his own survival, but rather for the Sky Garden, which was still being evacuated six directions away.

The delay doesn't seem to be enough. Since it's time to hand over everything, we should say goodbye without any regrets.

Karna continued to draw magic power, but not from his Master; he drew it from himself.

Since this is the end, the spirit origin is no longer something that needs to be continued.

Burn it all! The son of the sun god, at this very moment, will transform into flames and burn everything he has to the ground.

"This must be the most beautiful sight in this Holy Grail War; the burning sunlight is truly dazzling and intoxicating."

Manju couldn't help but slow down the falling cross, so as to properly appreciate the sun rising from the ground and blooming.

As the light faded and the sun disappeared from the sky, Manjusaka withdrew his gaze, a look of melancholy on his face.

“You are lucky; the sun is willing to sacrifice itself for the fall of this city.”

Therefore, Manjusaka did not look at the garden she had fled to, but instead reached out to retrieve the extinguished embers.

……

"Black's Archer... Nimrod? No, that's not right... who exactly is he...?"

I went out to watch a game today, that's all. Most of this chapter was written last night, so I didn't add anything yesterday.
