The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

The elderly man, dressed in a black cloak and wearing a wide-brimmed hat, softly denied it.

"However, knowing that I was here watching him, looking for an opportunity to take him away, he still dared to openly show himself in the first battle, causing such a commotion. It seems like a ruthless provocation."

The old man tapped the table with his hand, seemingly deep in thought and hesitant. A toothpick-like wooden stick lay beside his tapping fingers.

"You will surely respond; as a deity, you should act like a ruler. Even if you can wield divine blessings and power, you are ultimately not a true god, but merely a so-called hero."2

And since he is still a hero, he can never compare to the one who has transcended heroism and is called a god-ruler. 4.

Therefore, the woman with fair skin and inhuman beauty said flirtatiously. Three

“He is different. If it truly is the thunderbolt of Zeus unleashed by his full power, then I must also choose to retreat.”3

The old man continued to shake his head. Another

"I've heard that the Norse gods here shared ancient Europe equally with the Greek gods, but the situation on our side was completely different, a fact I have no intention of hiding." wu

"It seems I've found a less than ideal partner, so I'll probably choose to switch partners."

The woman's voice, though clear, sent chills down one's spine; anyone who could hear it would not believe she was joking.

"That's a pity. There's no possibility of you cooperating with him. Although he keeps moving forward in order to survive, he won't suppress his temper in the slightest. If he knew that you planned to devour this world, he would do everything he could to completely destroy you."

The old man indeed had no reason to worry; otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken so frankly.

Because there was no better partner than him, and besides, there was no one else here who could stand in the same place and talk with this goddess.

"Moreover, Ishtar, you have already accepted my gift. If you really intend to break your promise, it's not something you can do so easily."

Do not let your nature be corrupted, goddess of Venus. I should also respond to his provocation; bringing him back to Valhalla cannot be done by hiding in the shadows forever. At the very least, I must respond to the declaration of war.

As the old man spoke, he took off the wide-brimmed hat he used to cover his one eye, picked up the wooden splinter beside him, and stood up.

The wooden spike rapidly expanded, transforming into a divine spear engraved with runes. Odin grasped his legendary spear, and confidence and courage naturally arose within him.

Under the darkness of night, a golden light, like sunlight, inexplicably shone down, flowing into Odin's body and filling him with power.

Odin gazed ahead, raised his spear, and roared as it traveled on the wind.

The earth was shaken by the resounding sound of war drums that seemed to come from nowhere. Odin's lips curled up slightly, and for some reason, his expression even carried a hint of anticipation.

As the distant roar erupted completely, the two Enuma Elish verses intertwined and faced the lightning that was thrown down from the sky.

At that very moment, Odin swiftly hurled his spear Gungnir, which ripped through the night like lightning.

Gungnir soared through the sky with boundless power, the sound of it tearing through the air like a blade ripping the heavens.

When the others present discovered the gun, they could only see the trail it had left behind—the tail of a meteor.

The gun itself had already disappeared into the lightning, striking Manshu accurately as he stood amidst the lightning and torrential rain.

Even the terrifying lightning that the two creation epics could not break through was quickly dismantled by this gun with incredible destructive power, shattering the defenses in its path.

This divine spear, unstoppable during its piercing process and possessing penetrating power, finally reached its destination, delivering a fatal blow.

"Finally, you've made your move, Odin."

Despite being pierced by Gungnir, Manshu smiled and looked pleased, reaching out to grab the divine spear that had pierced him.

"What an incredibly greedy fellow. But if you want it, then go ahead and try to take it. Let's see if you can afford the price of your greed."

Odin seemed completely unconcerned about Gungnir's capture, his eyes revealing cunning and determination.

“I have no intention of taking this.”

Manju was equally dismissive, and with his hand gripping the spear, he forcefully pushed downwards, intending to break it in two.

But just as Manshu exerted his strength, Gungnir ignited the thorns first. ▲蝟＼ˇ4摺代购【=：舅㈣—|岜→/⑵4［③~∵叁另§￣杌self, turning into flames to burn Manshu.

"I knew what you were going to do, you stingy fellow, but it's no big deal."

Watching the flames set him ablaze, Manshu did nothing more, but turned to look at the distant place where Odin was.

Manshu opened his mouth and uttered a few words. Then, his whole body was blown away like sand by the wind and swept into the cold night wind.

"I saw you?"

Odin read the words Manju uttered before disappearing, and for a moment he was speechless and chuckled, not knowing what to say.

"To actually appear as a clone, that's quite a clever technique; even I didn't see it coming."

Ishtar showed a rare hint of surprise, but it was probably just something to talk about.

"But he is indeed a guy who has no respect for God, which makes me think of some bad memories. Once I use your gift to make abundance truly manifest, I will take care of these trivial matters all at once."

"I don't want my investment to go to waste. It took a lot of effort to separate Freya, so I shouldn't show arrogance during the battle."

Odin turned to Ishtar and said.

"My eyes couldn't detect his illusion either; it's probably Amon's power. But since he wields the Aegis, he'll likely disguise himself as a Greek hero."

After this public appearance, he'll likely hide for a while, but not for long. I'll first eliminate the Greek heroes in this Holy Grail War, leaving him nowhere to hide.

“Greek heroes, if I happen to run into them, I’ll deal with them easily. But before that, can I go see the fool who’s fallen into your hands? It’s the first time I’ve ever seen him like this.”

Ishtar smiled and asked Odin.

“He still has value. At least you have to offer something in exchange. Otherwise, you can’t waste my heroic warriors. They all have their uses.”

Odin shook his head and refused.

Chapter Six: Calming

Gilgamesh's cleaving sword was the first strike that heralded the start of the Holy Grail War.

This first blow, in a typical Holy Grail War, would not be surprising if it were the final blow.

The terrifying magic that followed was an illusion created by a divine prostitute in the distant ancient times when she witnessed the heroes fighting in the ancient city of Uruk. The world was born seven times and destroyed seven times.

Faced with such a vortex of power, they were unable to break through the lightning and heavenly fire hurled from the storm in the sky.

This is because it is the eternal fire of Zeus, the violence wielded by the great god during the Titanomachy.

In the endless howling, everything is to be destroyed, even if it is not the full force, but it is not something that this incomplete creation epic can break.

Gilgamesh showed no mercy whatsoever; he was willing to pay any price to defeat the enemy before him.

The gates of the Gate of Babylon were already wide open, and treasures were being continuously taken out to enhance the power of the Heaven-Opening Sword.

However, Enkidu below was completely different. When Enkidu unleashed his Noble Phantasm, any magician who could share magical power with the earth could sense it. II.

Magic surged into the desert from other parts of the planet, as if the planet itself were concentrating all its power in one place, gathering a vast amount of magical energy. ⑨

Unfortunately, the battlefield Enkidu chose was a truly ill-fated place. 4.

Humans and all life on Earth are objects of his interest.

However, due to humanity's adherence to reason and its failure to see itself as part of nature, its status as an object of protection is relatively low for Enenkidu.

Animals and plants resonate more with Enkidu's senses, so he prioritizes protecting them in his actions. 3

Therefore, Enkidu did not choose to greet Gilgamesh in the forest that had become his territory, but instead chose to meet him in the desert where there was little life.

Because Enkidu knew that once the two of them met, they would only compete with each other in strength, fight each other, and exchange blows. (vi)

By then, there probably won't be much left in the forest.

However, choosing the forest was the best thing for Manshu. The night was indeed a new territory for Manshu, but the desert was a territory that Manshu had already mastered.

Through the royal power possessed by Nitocris, and even more so through the sun in his eyes, his authority as Pharaoh naturally governed everything.

Therefore, Enkidu's power was not fully released, and the magic infused into the planet could not be fully utilized on this land.

Therefore, the two creation epics, which are not fully realized, can only remain in the sky and cannot continue.

Manju's current power is certainly no match for Ishtar's when she rode the Bull of Heaven, but neither of the two Servants before her can unleash the power they possessed in their previous lives.

When Odin's spear Gungnir streaked across the sky, transforming into a meteor that pierced through lightning, the two were astonished to discover that what had blocked their power was merely an illusion.

What kind of illusion could achieve such a feat? Even Merlin, the legendary sorcerer who assisted King Arthur, could probably not have done it.

"This bastard is even more infuriating than last time, daring to travel only in illusions. How dare he show such contempt for me, the king?"

Gilgamesh took it as an act of contempt, but he couldn't vent his anger, so he could only say resentfully.

"You can't do this, Gil. How can a king appear so helpless? Making everyone uneasy is far more troublesome than the fear instilled by a tyrant."

Enkidu, as a close friend, calmed the agitated king and comforted Gilgamesh.

“I understand. This is a rare and joyous reunion, yet it has been ruined by such scum. Let’s discuss the aftermath of this feast after we’ve dealt with those scum.”

Gilgamesh merely calmed his anger, but he did not make it disappear. The anger still lingered in his eyes, revealing a red lotus-like appearance.

"It seems like something unpleasant is approaching, probably my nemesis or something. I'm afraid I should take my leave now."

A sudden chill ran down Enkidu's spine as he looked north and spoke.

This is a subtle aura that only Enkidu, with his highest level of aura perception, could detect.

Gilgamesh could not sense anything, but he trusted Enkidu's judgment.

Gilgamesh knew better than anyone that Enkidu had no weaknesses.

If there is one exception, it is that what drove Enkidu to his destruction could only be a death curse bestowed by the gods, and nothing else.

"I also happen to have some annoying fellows calling me, so let's call it a night and wait for the next reunion. After I've wiped out all the thieves and bastards, let's have another feast."

Gilgamesh had no desire to stay any longer. In the dark shadows of the sky, a raven was flying through the clouds.

The crow's eyes gleamed with a divine light of wisdom; it didn't look like an ordinary animal, but at least something like a familiar.

As it flew past Gilgamesh, the Hero King feigned resignation and listened attentively, receiving a message from afar.

Vimana, Gilgamesh's mode of transportation, naturally appeared behind the Hero King. The Hero King stepped onto his throne, and the Radiant Ship in the sky disappeared into the night.

Enkidu also vanished from the ground, leaving only the remnants of the collision of Noble Phantasms, imprinted on this world.

Several minutes later, the Pale Knight's clone finally arrived at the center of the desert.

However, there was no trace of them left, and even the traces of spatial distortion had been restored.

The pale knight spun around in the wind for a while, then spread his body throughout the world.

He did not pursue the departing Servants, because his purpose was only to eliminate the thunder that frightened Tsubaki.

Since the sound has disappeared, there is no need for him to do anything unnecessary.

Then the spirit's presence vanished completely, leaving only silence to visit the desert.
