The Holy Grail War of God's Blessing
Page 263
"Tsk, Apep, who swallowed the entire Nile River, is no longer something that can be defeated by the remaining power of my god. When the mystery of the gods disintegrated, the power of the pharaoh also faded.
However, please accept my final reward, Pharaoh, who will save the world on my behalf. Seize the opportunity to kill the lightless snake.
Osmandis watched as the wreckage of the Great Complex Temple of Glory was intercepted by the magical beast He that emerged from the ground, but he was not too discouraged, as he had expected it.
Osmandis did not place his hopes on himself. When the solar boat he was riding on the Nile was swallowed by a giant snake, he had already placed his hopes on others, on people he trusted who could truly save this land.
But Osmandis himself was unable to witness the scene of the dark snake he mentioned being cut off. The fact that he was able to survive until now was simply a manifestation of his willpower.
The next moment, Osmandis' body was blown away by the wind and sand and turned into tiny spirit particles, and the remaining Great Composite Temple of Glory also began to completely disintegrate and collapse.
At the same time, a huge amount of magic power from afar has also been condensed. While the Beast of Sodom is resisting Osmandis's final counterattack, Manshu is accumulating magic power to send out the dark sandstorm that can destroy the Beast of Sodom created by the name of Apep and kill the beast here.
This beast is not an easy opponent to face. Its Anti-Messiah skill can invalidate all the protections gained through faith, and it has favorable attributes for special beings named as the Savior, which can weaken their skills.
The Beast of Sodom also has power over humans. Whether it is a heroic spirit or a divine spirit, as long as they have an intersection with humans, the attack against the Beast of Sodom will be reduced.
In addition, the Ragnarok was being faked in the name of Apep, and the mysteries from the gods were also suppressed, which made many methods directly become useless.
After all, most attacks may not be able to break through the Beast of Sodom, not to mention the various reductions that exist on this land and the various powers it possesses.
Anat's power was gradually stripped away because Anat herself was incorporated into the Egyptian pantheon and was therefore more affected.
Mysteries not related to Egyptian gods are less affected here, at least they will not die so drastically, but they will still be affected.
The Ishtar Gate is temporarily unable to use the power of Ishtar. Ishtar also existed in ancient Egypt, and there was a temple for Ishtar.
During the New Kingdom, Gilushippa, sister of King Tushratta of the Mitanni Kingdom, married the then Pharaoh Amenhotep III. When Amenhotep III was seriously ill, Tushratta wrote a letter and sent a statue of the goddess Ishtar, hoping that the goddess Ishtar would protect Amenhotep III and save him from danger.
During the New Kingdom period, Egypt had frequent exchanges with the Canaan region to the northeast, the Mesopotamian region, and even the kingdoms in Asia Minor, so foreign gods also entered Egypt's polytheism.
In Egypt, Ishtar became the god who saved the sick. According to Herodotus, a temple of Ishtar was built in Memphis.
In Egypt, Anat is confused with Ishtar, who is also confused in Egypt with the Canaanite goddess of Venus Astarte and the Greek Aphrodite.
However, although darkness has descended on Egypt, if the darkness can be shattered and the light can shine again, then everything that has been inflicted on this land will be returned.
Just as Apep swallowed the Nile and spat it out after being defeated by Ra, darkness faded and the sun rose. And assisting Ra was Ra's defender, Sut, whom the Hyksos believed in and Set, whom the ancient Egyptians called.
Ninety-fourth ⒐√≡俬罢二柶:≮三*〉⒊凌⑤转群. 』: Chapter Thunder Arrow
The Baal mentioned by the Canaanites did not originally refer to a single god, but was a name for a god.
In the eyes of most Canaanites, the true name of God cannot be revealed to outsiders. If outsiders knew the name of God, they could pray directly to God to obtain God's protection, thereby reducing the protection they received from God.
Therefore, the Canaanites generally did not call God by name directly, but used titles instead. For example, El means God, Baal means master, and Barat means mistress.
However, the word Baal existed even earlier. Before the Canaanites used it, the Sumerians used it to refer to Enlil.
It was not until a thousand years later that the word Baal was used by various city-states in various places. Marduk and Shamash also got the name of Baal.
The Canaanites themselves did not have a unified mythological concept or mythological system shared by the entire ethnic group. As mentioned earlier, each city-state in Canaan had its own different gods that it believed in, and the gods were regional and local.
In the Canaanite mythology, the myth of time sequence obviously occupies a prominent position. The succession of gods, the change of the throne of the god king and the struggle between good and evil constitute a mythological system with similar plots in this region.
However, in the early stages, it is clear that the Canaanite city-states all worshipped El as the supreme god, and it was only later that the worship of local gods began to occupy a prominent position.
In the Canaanite city-states, there are many gods who are directly named after Baal, such as:
Baal-Hamon, the Carthaginian god of fertility, was later identified with Saturn, the god of agriculture, and Jupiter, the chief god, in Roman mythology.
Baal Shamem, the ruler of the sky and the sun god in Phoenician mythology, was later confused with Uranus.
Baal-Hadad, the patron god of Ugarit, was identified with Baal-Adil in Phoenicia and with Zeus in Greece.
It was not until much later that Baal became the name of a single god, Baal-Hadad, who was also known as Aliyan.
Baal was the son of the great god El, but he is sometimes called the son of Dagon, and in Phoenician legend he is the son of Uranus.
At this time, Baal's power would not dissipate too quickly in the wind and sand, allowing the power of abundance and lightning to shine.
The Canaan region is located between the two original civilizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia, so its mythology system is inevitably influenced by both, and then in turn influences the other.
Baal's power is mixed with Set, but it is not entirely Set. What exists is only a connection between myths. However, it can be used at this moment, so it is used without hesitation.
If the power allocated to me is not suitable for this venue, I can consider using other options at that time, but it is always necessary to spend some effort to create void things, so it is good to save some effort. This is not the time to really determine the outcome.
The Ishtar Gate is not the only important building built on this flying fortress. Although this gate from Babylon is indeed quite useful, Manshu has the power of three gods and there is no need to waste it.
In Palmyra, Syria today, there are still remains of the Temple of Baal. It is not a bad idea to use the temple to increase Baal's power.
But in this desert where the gods died and the twilight apocalypse came, perhaps there is another option available.
Baal worship was once widespread throughout the Canaan region. Baal appeared more than once in the Old Testament and was believed in by the ancient Jews.
In the Hebrew Bible, the term serving Baal is often used to describe abandoning Yahweh.
During the time of the Old Testament, the faith of Baal and the faith of Jehovah were constantly changing in Palestine, and the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah converted their faith many times.
King Ahab's wife Jezebel of Israel had ordered all the people to worship Baal. The prophet Elijah competed with 450 priests of Baal in front of King Ahab and won.
After General Jehu killed Joram and Jezebel, he used a trick to kill all those who worshipped Baal. The priest Jehoiada led his troops to kill Queen Mother Athaliah of Judah and also demolished the temple of Baal. After Manasseh became the king of Judah, he abandoned Jehovah and worshiped Baal.
However, there is a sect that regards Baal as the archangel Raphael. However, in Hebrew mythology, Baal itself is a relatively general term, used to refer to local gods or demons.
In the end, it was obvious that Baal lost the struggle with Jehovah. He turned into Beelzebub, the king of demons, and became one of Solomon's seventy-two demons.
Baal was defeated in his battle with the Most High God and was punished, being demoted from a great god of fertility and thunder to a demon.
9 Although he is an old God-King who ultimately failed, perhaps he still has some unwilling desire and the madness to shatter the tragic end that is entangled in him.
0 doesn't seem to be a strange thing in this world. Losers can still have fantasies, fantasizing about the if that does not exist.
4 Yet victory over the High God is a vain fantasy, but the ultimate destruction of the serpent of darkness is not impossible.
8 Falling into the devil will bring more than just shame. The faith of later generations will still exist, but it will be mutated and polluted.
4 Strength can still exist, and this will lay the foundation for the transformation that will reverse the fate of that defeat.
2 What is to be used here, to destroy the God-devouring Sandstorm that the Beast of Sodom imitated with a fake miracle, is hatred and madness. The nobility from the past and the darkness from the future are combined here to dominate this fortress, this tiny world of enchantment, and make all of this a reality with the power of the Almighty.
9 There was no need to look elsewhere for the carrier of the attack; before the bow of the goddess Anat dissipated, Manshu reached out and took the bow from the Ishtar Gate.
The arrows released were hammers transformed from thunder, and the two hammers of exile and pursuit were spears of heaven that were powerful enough to pierce the earth.
5Without any obstruction, Mansu raised the bow in his hand, pointed it at the dome above his head, exerted a little force with both hands, and a strong wind was raised, pulling the bowstring.
The sun shining high in the sky will serve as the final blessing for this arrow. The moment the lightning arrow flies out of Manshu's hand, the entire aerial fortress falls thirty or forty meters before stopping.
The heat of lightning is like the scorching sun. After piercing through the sun, it flies out with blazing fire. What flies into the sky is not lightning, but the sun that will burn the world.
In the dark world, in the world where the sun was swallowed, the sun turned into lightning and rose again, and then struck the darkness.
Chapter 95 Falling
In the development of civilization, the pursuit of abundance is an ever-expanding chapter. With the emergence of state organizations, the number of people to be supported has also increased, which has intensified the demand for agricultural production capacity.
The emergence of civilization and the formation of a country both require more and more abundance, but the promised land of Canaan is not fertile everywhere. Jiangnan is located on the Mediterranean coast. The region is affected by a special climate, with long-term hot and dry summers, and rain mostly comes only in winter, which makes agricultural production tend to be drought-resistant crops.
However, long-term continuous farming will gradually absorb all the nutrients in the earth, leading to a decline in soil fertility and causing problems such as desertification and salinization.
People solved this problem by building canals and implementing a fallow system.
However, with the intensification of nationalization, the number of nobles who no longer needed to rely on farming for a living gradually increased. The increased demand for food also caused them to begin to hinder farmers from leaving their land fallow in order to pursue greater output.
Therefore, people can only pray for abundance, pray for more and more abundance, so that they can support the entire city and the entire country.
However, although rulers can suppress and control conflicts among humans through various means, it is difficult for them to calm their greedy demands for the earth.
The cycle of productivity and ecology has become an inevitable cycle. Therefore, after seven years of abundance, the earth is barren for another seven years. When the god Baal is awake, he brings down seven years of abundance, then falls into the underworld and wakes up again seven years later.
When did Baal first fall? When he sent Anat to threaten El and summoned the craftsman god to build him a golden palace, and death walked in through the window of the palace.
This is the price of prosperity. After the splendor and wealth accumulated with gold and silver, there is chaos.
It is time for the golden city to collapse. After the extreme prosperity, what comes is the collapse of order.
It is time for the corpses and the dead buried under this gold to open their eyes, walk out of their graves on the day of judgment, and drag the prosperous city into the deathland it will inevitably enter.
Although the first priority at this moment is to destroy the god-eating sandstorm created by the beast of Sodom with a false miracle.
But the city that stood at the center of everything, that had not collapsed in this desert that had turned into an abyss and was still shining on the ground, was also a target that needed to be addressed.
Although we may not know the purpose and significance of the existence of this golden city, it is always a good thing to destroy such an eye-catching thing first.
Although all the power taken from the underground of Jerusalem has been used in the city, it is not impossible for a similar story to happen again.
Go and see the shadows reflected in the dead water, and the black sun that moves with the wind.
The sun crawled out from the red abyss, and a smelly black wave continuously poured out from the center of the black sun. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a torrent enough to destroy the entire city.
The original intention was to fight without reservation, using all actions that could directly kill the four beasts. Since he could use all the means at the same time, there was naturally nothing worth being stingy about.
Two arrows transformed from lightning shot into the center of the golden city first, and a dark muddy tide surged from the edge of the city, rushing towards the center of the city as fast as a strong wind.
The lightning encountered no obstruction. This thunder was both the rod used by Set to help Stretch defeat Apep and the double hammer used by Baal to defeat his evil enemies. The roaring thunder was also his unwilling cry.
Both of these powers are used here to destroy this dark desert that should not exist.
Therefore, although the arrow was shot towards the center of the Golden City, the actual target of the attack was not the Beast of Sodom. It was an attack on the entire barrier. Manshu did not aim, but chose to shoot an arrow into the sky.
However, the power of the sun borrowed by the arrow when it flew guided it. The sun hanging above the tower was also an extension of vision, capturing the scene in the distance, and thus brought the lightning arrow there.
The seven-horned demon beast He who supported the Glorious Grand Complex Temple from above did not spare any effort to meet Manshu's lightning arrows. Only the Beast of Sodom, with a calm expression, raised his right hand.
"boom--!"
A huge, even indescribable sound came from the abyss. I don't know if it was an illusion, but the red color of the abyss lens was a bit richer, or it was closer to the ground.
In the center of the Golden City, a huge building broke through the ground and rose upwards.
No, that was not a building, but the image of the golden cup in the hands of the beast of Sodom, magnified countless times.
The thousand-meter-high Golden Cup rises from the ground. It is taller than all the buildings in the entire Golden City. Even the destroyed Glorious Grand Complex Temple appears a little smaller in front of it.
The Beast of Sodom stood in the center of the magical golden cup, allowing the two lightning arrows to pierce her body.
The beast of Sodma, half of its body destroyed by lightning, fell backwards and sank into the tide of filth in the golden cup.
The lightning did not stop after piercing the body of the Beast of Sodom. Instead, after hitting the ground, it spread outward to cut through the desert swallowed by darkness.
Cracks began to appear in the dark sky, and the sand and gravel were gradually ignited and turned into sparks.
But before this destructive force gradually spread to the entire desert, this desert that swallowed up gods took the initiative to disintegrate on its own.
The dark sky was completely shattered in the blink of an eye, and the sunlight from outside shone in, dispelling all the darkness.
The crimson abyss below also disappeared without a trace, revealing a normal desert. Only those with sharp enough vision could glimpse a hint of crimson color in the gaps between the newly appeared sand.
"Did the initiative 2 cancel 4's own miracle? No, it wasn't 's. It was that transformed into another form." san′·0≮∝⑤″'
Manshu was wondering why the Beast of Sodom behaved like this, and the next moment he noticed the extremely high magical reaction appearing above him.
The miracles wrought in the name of Apep certainly did not vanish, but took on another form, another extinction.
In 2004, the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, USA observed an asteroid. The planet was named Apophis, which is the Greek name of Apep, also translated as the Destroyer.
This is the only asteroid with a permanent number that has a chance of hitting the Earth within a few decades.
Although the correlation between the two is quite small, what is the essential difference between the planet that hits the star and the giant snake that swallowed the gods and brought dusk?
What it brings is pure destruction, the night of civilization. Therefore, the stars fall from the sky, bringing the end of the world, which is described by the earliest Doomsday Judgment.
Chapter 96 Pagoda Temple
Meteorites falling from the sky once brought great disasters to the world, destroying species that were once at the top of the food chain on this planet.
In the Zoroastrian description, at the end of the last millennium, the creator Ahura Mazda will summon the comet Gochisil from the sky to cleanse the entire world. This is the world's earliest Doomsday judgment.
And now, the sandstorm that buried the gods gathered in the sky and formed asteroids that crashed into the earth's surface, forming Apophis, the asteroid observed by humans in 2004, and turned the possibility of a collision with the earth into reality.
In order to realize the meaning of the name given to this planet, and to reproduce the damage caused to this land and the destruction of civilization by the meteorite that once landed.
Although it is impossible to launch an attack on the scale of the dinosaur killer, it should be enough to cause a huge impact here, and the entire singularity may be destroyed as a result.
The existence of the singularity itself, although covering a large area, cannot be destroyed so easily.
But it is still powerless against such an attack. After all, even Fergus's magic sword that can cut through mountains can destroy the fifth singularity by destroying the American continent.
The terrifying meteors before us, which have the power to overturn civilizations and even ecosystems, can also bring about complete extinction and wipe out everything.
"It's time. Beast VI hasn't fully transformed yet. She probably hasn't accumulated enough strength to become an adult, but she's almost there. We need to defeat him in one fell swoop and not be stopped."
The Beast of Sodom did not put up much resistance. It is not an easy thing for an animal to transform from a larva into an adult.
The ones who succeeded in transforming into winged creatures were Goetia and Tiamat, while Kama, Kiara Sesshōin, and the kitsune were all unsuccessful.
But the beast in front of him should be almost ready for further growth. From its appearance to now, the spiritual base of the Beast of Sodema has been growing at an extremely fast speed.
