The Holy Grail War of God's Blessing

……make

"I have heard of such a thing, but I'm afraid this is not what you mean by death denial."

The gods here do possess something that can be considered immortality, but some are stronger and some are weaker.

However, Ishtar did not deny death as she claimed.

Ishtar herself has a deep relationship with the underworld, and she herself has a very famous story about the underworld, namely "Ishtar's Descent into the Underworld".

However, what she can do is to rise from the underworld as in the story, thereby denying death and ignoring the death that she has.

"Of course. After all, I am just a remnant of the world that resides in this container."

Ishtar spoke calmly, with a confident smile on her face.

"So everything will have to wait a little longer. I admit that you are powerful, rude demigod. What the god called Odin said was true. Therefore, I will take back my ancient name and punish you as the true master of the sky."

As Ishtar finished speaking, her body lost all color and turned into ashes as if it had been burned by fire.

"Is it a rebirth born from abundance, from the power of the god bestowed upon you by Odin?"

Manshu frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and took some ashes in his hand, and found that the power of the ashes did not come from here.

"Is it Gulveig?"

That god was said to be the cause of the war between the Aesir and the Vanir.

According to the witch's prophecy, Gulveig, a god of the Vanir, came to Asgard and boasted about his magic power to the Aesir.

Because of her rude words, she aroused the dissatisfaction of the Aesir gods, so they killed her with spears and burned her to ashes with fire three times.

But every time, Gugvere was reborn from the ashes, and this was the only time Gugvere appeared in the myth.

A considerable number of views believe that Gugwel is also another name for Freya. These four are also goddesses of the Vanir clan and have multiple names.

"I didn't expect that she had no intention of staying here from the beginning. I thought provocation was enough to make this goddess stay here."

But in any case, Ishtar obviously had no intention of staying here.

He even used his own death to cover up the fact that he took Harley away.

I haven't had a life-and-death fight with an immortal opponent, otherwise I would have used some safer means.

But at the moment, it seems that Odin and the others are waiting. Are they waiting for the arrival of the Bull of Heaven?

If it was just an ordinary reverberation, even if the Bull of Heaven came, it could only supplement some of the power at most.

But it has already been completed and transformed into a new god. With the arrival of the Longicorn, it may really have a chance to regain its former name.

For Ishtar here, Inanna is an older and more powerful name than Ishtar.

If the name Ishtar represents the pinnacle of the Sumerian goddess, Inanna represents the true mistress of the sky and the half of Anu.

"It looks like he can't be too idle. Ah, I hope Flatt hasn't found the police yet."

Facing these two is quite stressful. At least I can't say that I have a 100% chance of winning. I still have to be cautious.

"It doesn't look like this is going to be easy to handle. Let's just clean up the mess a bit and leave the rest to Orlando and his allies."

Before leaving, I still need to deal with my own destruction. After all, I am currently in the camp of justice, and I still have to do the ritual things.

Then Manshu threw the obsidian mirror in his hand, causing black smoke to fill the pit, and then an illusory scene was constructed.

If we really rebuild everything, it will take too much effort, so we can just use some magic to fool around.

Orlando will then set up a barrier around the area to drive away ordinary people and prevent them from getting close.

It is enough to wait until the Holy Grail War is over before dealing with these matters. This war should not be over for too many days.

Perhaps the day when the storm that is approaching this land arrives will be the day when this war ends.

"Let's go check it out first, but maybe we should also visit the master of the underworld that has been using it. The perceptive guys should be about to discover this."

Although it is not too troublesome, some unexpected situations should be avoided when dealing with it.

Of course, the main reason is that the other party's existence is convenient for Manshu. Having a ready-made barrier like the underworld in this city is much more convenient than spending time building it by himself.

After all, Mansu only possesses part of Tezcatlipoca's power in his body, and the rest of the power needs to be supplemented by his own magic.

……

"Oh, Master Berserker came to visit you here, so you reached an agreement to cooperate and let most of the twenty-eight monsters go out to fight with him."

After returning to the police station, Manshu also learned the details from Orlando, for which he could only knock his head.

"Since we have reached a cooperative relationship with Flatt, I will not consider him. Just let your men continue to work. I will rush over after a short rest."

"Is there any unexpected situation?"

Orlando was a little surprised by Manshu's choice and couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe it's because I forgot. I seem to have forgotten to tell you that there might be a traitor among your subordinates."

"what?"

Orlando stood up subconsciously and made a sound of disbelief.

It can be said that all the twenty-eight monsters were recruited by him, and he himself served as their magic teacher and guide.

Therefore, he did not suspect that there were problems among that group of people, but he also knew that there was no need for his servants to lie in such a place.

"People always change. Besides, it's possible that you don't recognize the real him. One of your subordinates is a member of the Skradio family."

Chapter 38 Intimidation

Across the city’s largest casino, Crystal Hill, in the opposite direction of the police station is the Xueyuan City Central Hospital.

A little further away from the hospital is the central church of Xueyuan City.

Although the city's history is relatively young, only a few decades old, its appearance is quite majestic, so it is usually visited by many devout believers and tourists, and it is a fairly prosperous church.

However, the church has now set up a barrier to drive away ordinary people, so only special people will come to visit here.

"Seeking asylum... It seems that's not the case. I was just joking about that game."

The priest who was keeping vigil in the church spoke with a wry smile.

This priest was none other than Hansa Serbandis, the agent sent by the Cathedral Church for this Holy Grail War.

The priest who had visited the police station before was none other than him.

Next to the priest stood four nuns in monastic robes, all of whom were watching with vigilance to prevent any harm.

It was natural for them to do so, since there were a total of twenty-six people present at the church.

Orlando only kept a few members of the twenty-eight monsters, and the rest were all sent out.

"I understand the situation, but do I allow it?"

"We are not asking for your support, but depending on the content of the operation, there may be a situation where we need you to protect someone."

Bella, who was in the lead, said to Hansa, who had a puzzled look on his face.

"Is it the Master whose real identity remains unknown but whose only Servant is still active? As a supervisor, a priest, and a human, I agree to protect him, but that is when the other party intends to withdraw from the Holy Grail War. In this case, the decision depends on whether we can negotiate with the Servant, right?"

"Yes, depending on the situation, we may be able to forcibly remove the Servant. Because that situation is beyond the scope of the Supervisor's responsibility, we will not seek your assistance." 9

"I see. Although I feel like I'm being used in a roundabout way... But, that's the role of the supervisor."

Hansa shrugged, but he still didn't reject it since it was within his responsibility.

"Alcides, can you move?"

"Of course."

In the underground workshop in the industrial zone, the communicator in front of Bazdilot slowly operated and formed an article.

After confirming the contents, Bazdilot said to the person behind him expressionlessly.

Alcides released his spirit form. He walked out of the darkness, letting the strong magic flow through his body as he responded.

Bazdilot continued speaking in his usual emotionless voice:

"There's news from the rats inside the police station, heading to the hospital."

"The necessary time has come. I need you to deal with a child."

"is it?"

There was no hesitation on Alcides' face, he was just confirming.

"Then I'll trouble you to complete your work tonight."

Bazdilot nodded and gave him a sharp look.

"If you do it well, you may find an opportunity to deal with the Aztec demigod, and you can also fully discredit the gods who took everything from you."

Alcides walked forward without looking back and spoke calmly.

"You don't need to tell me that my existence is only to tarnish its reputation."

……

"You really have no intention of hiding anything. It really makes me hesitate whether I should get rid of you now."

On the road in front of the Central Hospital, the police had set up a wide-area barrier to keep people away in advance.

Therefore, this area seems unusually deserted and there is a feeling of loneliness.

But soon, the lonely atmosphere was destroyed, and a huge three-headed demon dog appeared from the depths of the road.

Everyone who was here could see this prominent figure, and could even sense the enormous magical power surrounding the demon dog and Alcides standing on its back.

Manshu, who came here to rest for a while, was sitting on the roof of a building nearby.

Manshu still didn't like the strong smell of death in the hospital, but at this moment, it seemed that someone had secretly climbed to the top of the hospital.

　However, Manshu ignored that matter for the time being, still looking at Alcides in front of him, thinking with some hesitation.

"This is when the disadvantages of greed become apparent. With so few choices to make, it's hard to know what to choose."

"In that case, leave your fate to others. I don't know when Richard and his allies will get here."

"Where is the child with the Servant living inside him?"

Alcides was also down there at the moment, and asked in a solemn voice to the policemen guarding the hospital entrance.

"If I told you, what would you do to him?"

A man named John from the police team stepped forward and asked Alcides.

"It's you, my compatriot. All I have to do is follow the rules of the Holy Grail War and kill you head-on."

"Stop joking."

The police officers present had fought with Alcides before and also knew his real name.

No one will deny you the identity of the great hero Alcides standing in front of you riding a three-headed dog.

Being able to stab Alcides with the sword in his hand was an exciting honor for John, even until just now.

I can become an enemy of such a great hero, even hurt him, and even force him to collapse.

But this glory only lasted until just now, because such a hero actually said that he would slaughter the unconscious girl openly.

Anger filled the hearts of the policemen, and John subconsciously let out an angry shout.

"It's okay if you don't want to answer. I respect you, brave man, but don't get in the way." 6∞…san″si￥＝四♂㈡□

Alcides unceremoniously drew the bow in his hand and shot at the policeman in front of him.

The policeman in front was an opponent he recognized, so there was no need to be polite to him.

A terrible roar immediately sounded in front of the police. Fortunately, the two police officers holding shields reacted in time and raised their shields to block Alcides' attack.

But even so, two or three police officers were affected by the shock wave and did not have time to hide in the defensive area and were knocked unconscious.

"There's something wrong with the police team. The treasures they hold in their hands...what on earth are they?"

Above the hospital, Master Zesta, a fanatic who was attracted here by the actions of the police team, stood on the water tower and made a puzzled sound.

The next moment, the water tower where he was standing was destroyed by arrows shot from below, and a small part of the hospital was also cut open.

Chapter 39 Sacrifice

"Everyone is here so soon, but is there anyone still clinging to their own position? It's not good to be too doting on the Master."
