The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

"Besides, aren't you unable to act yet? Just wait until your bull arrives here, reappearing on this land under an even more ancient name, and decisively crush all obstacles in one fell swoop." Si

"That's excessive caution, you powerful being from another realm, but no problem."

The goddess let out a cryptic laugh and simply nodded in satisfaction.

"Having received the divinity you have given me, I am still able to use my powers with difficulty, and punishing one or two petty thieves is not a problem."

But since you intend to proceed cautiously, rest assured, I will not make a move until the Bull of Heaven arrives. I will wait until we all come together for revenge.

The beautiful goddess had a smile on her face, but her smile contained an extremely terrifying expression.

It conveys a sense of inhumanity, a feeling of being consumed by evil murderous intent.

"Please calm your emotions for now. It shouldn't be long. Even I can smell the strong scent coming from the West."

……

After the first nine arrows were fired, another cursed arrow, wrapped in a serpent-like spell, was fired from Alcides's hand.

The massive swarm of snakes surged forth once more, intending to pounce and devour the jaguar's body.

However, if Wu hadn't fallen into the clutches of the Avengers, he probably could have done even better.

As an arrow fired by Archer, it should naturally be more powerful than that fired by Avenger.

"As expected, you can only waste this opportunity now. It's time to end this. With your current strength, you have no chance of defeating me."

Manju gave his judgment and then issued a declaration.

However, Alcides would not stop his work because of the sound; the terrible arrows continued to be shot out, stirring up extremely violent winds.

One after another, the nine-headed serpents attacked forward, like a black flood.

Furthermore, Alcides immediately turned the metaphor into reality.

Gazing at the jaguar ahead, which was already preparing to roar, and at the god who had delivered the judgment and pronouncement upon him.

"Share the fate of Augeas, you livestock."

Alcides activated his Noble Phantasm, Twelve Glories. The venomous snake clones generated from the arrows he fired shattered like water balloons the instant they reached the black panther's feet.

Then those things transformed into a real black torrent, beginning to devour this smoky world as well.

This is the cattle shed of Augeas, one of the trials Hercules undertook during his lifetime.

He was tasked with cleaning a huge cattle shed with three thousand cows that hadn't been cleaned in decades in a single day—a task that was less difficult than akin to finding fault.

Hercules diverted the flow of two rivers near the barn, causing the waters of these two great rivers to directly wash over the entire barn.

⑧Therefore, he successfully completed the cleaning of the cowshed, which had never been cleaned since its construction, in one day.

As a symbol of the power that enabled him to achieve this great feat, the turbid stream he seized also reappeared as the power of a Noble Phantasm. After being infused with the miasma of poisonous snakes and the magic of mud, it transformed into a black flood that flowed across the land.

⑦ The black, turbid currents covering the earth, along with the numerous arrows, were an act to bind the black jaguar to the earth.

Luarcides never intended to kill him so easily; he seemed to be a match for a god.

6. He only intended to use this opportunity to create better opportunities for his next actions.

(3) If it were in the outside world, rather than in this false underworld, Alcides' plan could indeed be accomplished.

There was no doubt that the arrows would pierce Manshu's legs, while the pervasive miasma and black mud would work together to hold Manshu's legs captive.

However, this is not the outside world, but a barrier created by him, modeled after the underworld of Meghtland.

After he delivered his verdict, Manju did not remain still, but opened his mouth and let out a roar that could shatter the world.

The same waves and turbid currents rose from behind him, but unlike the turbid currents of Alcides, which were mixed with human curses and snake venom, these were pure death.

Whether it's a curse or a poison, it will still bring destruction.

At least two turbid currents collided, and the turbid current that Alcides had summoned to wash over the cowshed could no longer move forward.

The subsequent roar further terrified the Hydras, who were regarded here as the progenitors of all snake venom and snake curses.

But he was no match for the leopard that had once destroyed the world, and so Alcides' offensive vanished in a single round.

But Alcádez was not discouraged and continued to look for other opportunities.

"It seems there's no way to reason with you right now, but since you still have some use, let you calm down here for a while."

Manshu did not continue forward, but instead looked up at the sky.

After clearing away the venomous snakes in front of him, he leaped into the air and disappeared from sight.

Alcides was left alone in this false underworld, and it would take him some effort to get out.

"Alright, it's time to reward another soldier."

Manju left his protective barrier and appeared in the sky above where he was surrounded by a large number of police officers.

They were checking on John, who had been knocked away by Alcádez.

Logically speaking, if it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to withstand such a blow to the arm.

That should be enough to shatter all the bones in the body, leaving the person lying on the ground like a lump of mud.

John appeared to be seriously injured, but that was about it. He was even somewhat conscious, just unable to move.

It's probably just a broken bone, not a serious fracture.

Upon hearing Manjusuke's voice, they all looked up at the sky and subconsciously raised the treasures in their hands.

"This is an impolite act, but it is also the act of a warrior. However, if you do not wish to become a living sacrifice, you should put down your weapon."

Manju chuckled as he landed on the ground, but the terror in his voice did not dissipate despite his laughter.

The police officers, who were holding weapons, lost the strength in their arms, and the magical artifacts fell to the ground one by one.

"If I intend to kill you, you won't even have the chance to realize you're dying, so don't try to seize the chance to be reincarnated."

As Manju spoke, he walked forward, and the gathered police officers were parted by an invisible hand.

They could only watch helplessly as Manjus walked towards them and then passed by on her way to John.

They were powerless to do anything else; simply standing there, they endured terrifying stares. Forget about moving; the only reason they remained standing was out of inertia.

It was like being a statue fixed in place, constantly subjected to torment and agony, with no room for resistance whatsoever.

This is naturally the punishment for such rude behavior, and it won't take long.

Manju walked up to John, but didn't intend to give him the reward immediately.

"Fighting against an incredibly powerful threat, never giving up even at the risk of being killed, you are undoubtedly a very good warrior."

Keep going like this. Your trial is only halfway through, not yet over. Consider this a small reward along the way. I look forward to your continued progress as a warrior.

As Manju spoke, he took a cocoa bean from his hand and put it into John's mouth, who was lying on the ground.

Chapter Thirty: Imitating Jiu

In Nahuatl, xocolatl (chocolate) means bitter water. lin

The Maya originally dried and ground cocoa, mixing it with water, cornmeal, chili powder, and other ingredients to make hot chocolate, which had a sour and spicy flavor.

The Aztecs later also used cocoa beans to make hot chocolate, but they drank it after it had cooled down.

Cocoa beans, the raw material for making chocolate, were regarded as food of the gods, and were considered high-class and precious.

Besides being used in the production of beverages, it can also be used as currency in trade and as a luxury item.

Cocoa, which can eliminate fatigue, enhance concentration and mental strength, and stimulate the heart, dilate blood vessels, and accelerate heart rate, is of course a must-have for passionate warriors.

Ordinary people are certainly not lucky in this situation, experiencing trials on par with those of powerful heroes, which is quite an excessive demand.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide appropriate rewards or rewards along the way to encourage people to continue.

Moreover, Tescatlipoca is an unpredictable god; he may grant wishes, but he may also inflict curses.

That is an all-knowing and all-powerful god, therefore his nature is also unpredictable, like the wind at night, unpredictable and omnipresent.

After feeding the cocoa bean, Manshu stood up and surveyed the police officers standing there.

⑧ "Those of you who can continue to stand here can be considered courageous warriors. Continue to survive tenaciously and experience more battles."

"Just keep walking on the journey, because fighting will not bring any satisfaction; one will always be halfway through the journey."

After saying this, Manshu's figure transformed into the wind once more, stirring up a little bit of dust, and then disappeared from the spot.

As Lu stood up, the police officers, losing their support, all collapsed to the ground as Manshu drifted away with the wind.

(vi) They gasped for breath, greedily inhaling the air to quell the intense fear in their hearts and to savor the feeling of being alive.

"I really thought I was going to die just now."

4. The officers said this, and they only rested for a while to adjust their state before getting up.

4. "There's still a mess to clean up here, it's not time to rest yet, everyone keep going."

(ii) ...

On the other side, the destroyed Ship of Light returned to the treasury, and the hero-king Gilgamesh rose from the ruins in a disheveled state.

His master, Tini, stood solemnly to the side, attending to the king.

Q: "What a despicable scoundrel, Tescatlipoca. Prepare to turn to ashes along with the sins of man, you vexing calamity."

Gilgamesh spoke with his eyes lowered, and no one could see the unusual color flashing in his right eye, which was completely different from his original pupil, resembling the color of a lake.

He didn't linger there. He retrieved his Noble Phantasm from the Royal Treasury and disappeared with his Master.

Everything returned to complete calm after the commotion, and the police went to finish their other cleanup work.

The destruction caused by that arrow piercing the city, and the reports of the battle here—these are all things that need to be accomplished.

Although the reasons and excuses should all be attributed to natural gas, some things like appeasing the public still need to be done.

Many police officers were injured and need to go back to rest and recover.

After the police officers had left, some time passed before a sound like a shattering mirror came from the empty ground.

A crimson and black storm blew out from it, and Alcides' mud-covered body emerged from the underworld.

He stepped on the ground, glanced around briefly, and then disappeared silently.

……

"Tescatlipoca, shouldn't it be impossible to summon gods in the Holy Grail War?"
