The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Hiroki Sajo didn't care about this at all. Before he could truly see what was happening underground, he probably wouldn't know what his daughter had become.

"Then let's go. After a short rest, we should head there. After the four souls return to the Holy Grail, the Beast Queen should be eager to go soon."

I have prepared and waited long enough for this, not knowing what kind of creation it will ultimately produce.

Manshu's tone still carried a hint of anticipation; he was indeed fantasizing about the unborn child born from the Beast Queen's womb.

Great Babylon is there, where vanity and decadence have returned. (8. ←7『)

However, we will soon be able to see all of this; we just need to wait a little while.

Manshu and Arash took Hiroki Sajo back to the Reiko-kan family mansion, which was also located in Suginami Ward, Tokyo.

The Reirōkan family already had many clues about the location of the underground Greater Grail, and with the location provided by Sājō Hiroki, they could pinpoint it directly.

After all, considering the scale and capacity required for the simulation of the ritual, finding the location of the underground Greater Grail is not a difficult task.

"It's still necessary to be careful about this kind of thing, Berserker. I'm really worried that you'll play with fire and get burned. For you, fun probably outweighs everything else."

On the way back, Arash walked up to Manshu and said to him.

Arash took Manjusaki's final words to heart, perhaps as a form of admonition, or perhaps for some other reason.

“That’s not right, is it? It’s not like I’m talking about the desires in my heart. Desire is indeed more important to me than ordinary things, and there are other things that are even more important than that.”

Manshu knew Arash's good intentions, but he had already foreseen the destiny that already existed.

As Manjuschaft said, there was an even more crucial element of survival before satisfying his own desires.

Therefore, everything is carried out only to ensure a safe outcome, and only when the fate of the matter is determined and no other outcome will occur.

The act of playing with fire and getting burned should be kept out of sight and distance, so Manju simply smiled and said it with a confident and unquestionable air.

"Fate is already moving in accordance with my will. Although there may be some setbacks, they will not affect the final result, because the result was determined before it was even woven."

"Then I don't understand all this mystical stuff you're talking about. Since you're confident there won't be any problems, I won't say anything more."

Arash shrugged. He was just taking it as a reminder anyway. Since the other party was mentally prepared, there was nothing more to say.

Upon returning to the Linglongguan family's residence, Manshu went straight into the temple she had previously built and handed over all the plans to the others.

"It might be a good thing that Berserker is in the temple; he seems to be quite close to the position of the gods."

Even in my time, when the traces of the gods still linger, we no longer see heroes like him. *Chirp*

Arash shook his head as he explained for Manju, but Manju's involvement wasn't really needed anymore; it was more about the magicians exchanging ideas.

Manju entered the temple to complete his final sacrifice. Since it was related to war, offering everything to Odin would suffice. (Eight)

As an omnipotent god, Odin possesses hundreds of names and hundreds of powers, with war often being his most prominent domain.

It is said that in extremely ancient times, Tyr, as the god of war, and whose name means "god," held an extremely high position. 4

Odin, however, deposed Tyr from his illustrious position and absorbed most of the elements of Tyr's divine realm. ③

Human sacrifices were unusable, so they could only hang nine kinds of animals in the sacred grove outside the temple. (3)

The trees outside the temple were considered sacred; the dogs and horses used in sacrifices were all hanged from them and then boiled.

Manju picked out a few to burn with the trees, and ate the rest.

But Odin's response was minimal, bringing only a slight storm that didn't even attract attention. *Whoosh*

This made Manshu slightly puzzled, and he had some thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show it and simply completed the ritual to Odin as usual.

But then he offered sacrifices to Thor and Tyr before leaving the temple to head to the underground where the Greater Grail was located.

"It's a really nice temple, quite beautiful."

Arash, who was sharing the meat nearby, said with a smile that although the temple did not retain much of a mysterious aura, it was still quite impressive just by looking at its exterior.

With the help of divine power, it was completed in a single day, and many of the original plans were modified to enlarge the entire building.

"That's still not good enough. This is the worst temple I've ever seen."

Manshu said it jokingly, but it was also true, though it carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

"But putting that aside, have you reached a conclusion regarding the Greater Grail?"

"Once the location of the Greater Grail in the underground is revealed, there's not much more to say. There's only one path to get there; it's just a matter of when to do it."

Arash tossed over the map, marking the location of the Greater Grail in red.

"Then there's no need to pick a time. Doesn't the Sajo family still need to save his daughter? Let's do it now."

"I think you would give this answer too. I was prepared for it long ago. What has your fate seen?"

Arash looked at Manshu and smiled.

"There may be a bit more storm than before, but it won't affect anything."

Manshu turned his head to look at the temple, then turned back and said.

"That's good. After all, my eyes can see some strange things too, but I'm relieved now that your eyes have confirmed there's nothing wrong."

Alashrang laughed and strode forward.

……

In the darkness beneath Tokyo, between reality and illusion, a pulsating, ravenous beast with its jaws wide open seems to devour its prey.

Within the three-dimensional magic circle beneath the darkness, amidst despair, a constantly writhing mass of flesh.

The first head hasn't even grown yet. It's just finished eating the first four dishes. It needs to be patient for its head to grow strong. Eventually, it will definitely grow seven heads with ten big horns each.

But now, this place is still a formless sea of ​​flesh without eyeballs or head.

It looked up, watching its loving mother return.

The lump of flesh stirring underground does not believe that its creator is the omnipotent Heavenly Father, but rather that the one who always smiles at it and looks at it gently is its mother.

"Good boy."

And the girl who is its mother appears on the edge of despair.

She kept bringing offerings to make the underground mass of flesh grow strong, and now she has brought a new and wonderful offering, her younger sister, Ayaka Sajou.

"babble……"

Unable to comprehend the scene before her, Ayaka Sajou was filled with confusion and fear, tears welling up in her eyes.

"No, no, what's wrong... It's so scary, sister...!"

"Ayaka, you can't be willful."

"don't want--"

Wailing and screaming.

But the girl smiled, completely unconcerned, and roughly grabbed the child's hair, dragging her toward the edge of the cliff.

"So willful. ⑧ You really are a willful child. ⑨ You're hopelessly ordinary, yet you dare to act like this." ④◇‰⒋.二. $

The girl was cruel and heartless; not even the corners of her mouth showed the slightest expression.

"Aiko, what are you doing...!"

A male voice rang out, stopping the girl's behavior and causing displeasure to appear on her face.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Collapse

"It's nothing, that's how the Holy Grail is supposed to be used, Dad."

The girl released her wailing sister and turned leisurely to her father, who had just appeared.

The girl's displeased gaze was not directed at her father, but rather at the man holding a long sword to the side, where she unabashedly displayed her malice.

"Why did you rush here? You just needed to wait quietly. Your wishes have no chance of being fulfilled."

The girl spoke methodically, while the darkness born from the ripples below continuously emitted joyful emotions, anticipating the offerings falling from the platform.

"That won't do. My Master's wish doesn't need to be entrusted to the Holy Grail; stopping you is enough."

Manju reached out and placed his hand on Sajo Hiroki's shoulder, took a step forward, and led half a body length ahead of him as he spoke.

"You, shrouded in the radiance of an alien star, are the biggest anomaly here. Not only did you prevent his starlight from shining brightly enough, but you also almost ruined the plans I devised for him."

What you're doing is clearly different from what I'm doing. You're in such a hurry to eliminate dissidents, aren't you?

Even so, you still have no meaning other than becoming a component of it. Although I promised another friend I would hand you over to him, I still somewhat want to send you down as well.

Sajō Aika said with great dissatisfaction that her younger sister, Sajō Ayaka, was chosen as a sacrifice simply because Sajō Ayaka had met and spoken with the Knight King in the botanical garden.

For this reason alone, Aika Sajou felt that she could not let Ayaka Sajou go no matter what.

Moreover, Manshu had injured and completely destroyed the King of Knights, and Ayaka Sajou only wanted to offer Manshu as a sacrifice.

"Although I don't quite understand what you mean, let's just consider it as eliminating dissidents. My actions weren't exactly fast, but I did give you as much free time as possible."

"Let's see how you plan to send me down there. If you're just talking big and can't deliver, don't blame me for being ruthless in my disappointment."

Manju, filled with anticipation for Sajou Aika's speech, opened his eyes wide, seeking not wisdom, but the blazing sun.

In this dark and gloomy cradle of beasts, the sun rises leisurely, radiating light and heat.

The darkness below seemed to groan, instinctively reaching out to her mother for help.

“What a repulsive light. It should be Saber’s holy sword that cuts through the night and darkness. Only that beautiful, dazzling light can do it.”

Sajou Aika's disgust deepened, and she simply issued her own declaration, lowering her gaze.

A rainbow-colored light shone from the other side of the darkness, and Swipdag, wielding a demonic sword burning with flames, descended upon that light.

At the same time, black "arms" emerged from the ground; these were torrents of high-density flesh, intending to shatter the cliff in front of them.

The darkness underground is filled only with the desire to eat; it has no consciousness or thought other than the intention to keep eating.

So this torrent of flesh was intended to sweep everyone on the cliff to the ground and devour everyone except its mother.

"Odin, like a lion, your bravery and wisdom guide people forward, revealing a corner of the tapestry of destiny to them."

Now I offer this battle to you once more, may your gaze pierce through chaos and darkness, and be imbued with the light of glory.

Manjusqueak instinctively called out to Odin, transforming his short sword into a spear and throwing it.

The flying meteor spear ripped through the dark space, and Swipdagg did not hesitate to swing his flaming sword to block the spear's approach.

Manju didn't look in that direction at all, but continued speaking, his eyes fixed on the dense darkness ahead.
