The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

We praise the sun god, who is supreme and great, bestowing glory and victory! We praise Him in return, with piety, with sacrifice and blood!

Manju let out a shout, and then the gun was thrown from his hand. The unstoppable gun pierced through the Mad King's body, ending his mission.

Then he jumped forward and landed at the bottom of the pyramid. Stepping on the blood-stained steps, he walked step by step to the top and stood in front of the gray sacrificial altar.

"Praise be to the sun, I will ignite the sacred fire, offering my blood and heart in return for your gifts, to open the path to the Kingdom of God."

As Manjushri said this, he picked up the obsidian dagger and cut open his own arm.

Blood flowed from Manshu's arm and fell into the brazier, where it was ignited by Manshu.

Manshu reached into the basin, took out the blood fire, and threw it forward, setting the Mad King's mangled body ablaze.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Sacrifices

The sacred fire was blazing, its smoke filling the air around the pyramids and spreading the scent of spices.

On the towering pyramid, the priests are already in place, holding obsidian daggers, bringing the victims.

Those were some Celtic soldiers left over from the previous sacrifice; although their numbers were small, they were enough as a prelude.

The obsidian dagger gently sliced ​​open the body of the soldier who was being offered up on the sacrificial altar, and removed his heart.

"The nameless Celt will go to the land of the sun god, to the garden of rest, Miktlampa, and find eternal peace."

As Manju shouted, he threw the heart in his hand into the sacred fire, the flames burning the smoke rising from the heart.

The billowing smoke rises upwards, carrying this fresh blood and heart to the sun, and leading the soul to the kingdom of God.

Ling then pushed the body off the sacrificial stone, letting the blood spill onto the pyramid, leaving a bloodstain.

At the very bottom of the Pyramid of the Dead stands a stone statue, which marks the end of the corpse's journey and its final resting place.

That is a statue of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui. The Aztecs had many sun gods, and they also had many moon gods.

Besides Koyosak, there was also Meztli, and the moon goddess Tekuhistka, who was worshipped at the Pyramid of the Moon. However, this name was given by the later Aztecs, and the name of the moon serpent actually worshipped at the Pyramid of the Moon is now lost to history.

When the Aztecs discovered the Pyramid of the Moon and the city of Teotihuacan where it was located, it was already in ruins.

(9) But despite becoming ruins, Teotihuacan remained a magnificent city, which the Aztecs regarded as the place where the ancient gods descended, calling it the City of the Gods.

As for Koyosak, she was the moon goddess, and also the goddess who ruled the stars. Of course, most importantly, she was the elder sister of Vichilopochtli, the Aztec national god.

Fifth, of course, her position in mythology is not very good, because her story is about preventing the birth of Vizilopochtli.

The moon goddess, leading her brothers and sisters who represent the stars, hunts down their pregnant mother.

At the critical moment, Vichiropochtli leaped out of his mother's womb, killing his brothers and sisters and severing his sister in half at the waist, thus preventing the moon's resurrection.

Therefore, she was placed here to prevent the possible resurrection of these dead, and to announce the fate of the sacrifices.

A trail of blood flowed from the top of the pyramid down to this spot, where the corpse lay at the end of the trail, as if the sun god of the sky had stretched out his long, crimson tongue to snatch away the offerings made for him.

The sun in the sky seemed indifferent to everything that was happening below, simply letting the smoke from the sacred fire rise into the sky and reach the sun's position.

However, Manju was not surprised by the result and did not show much emotion. Instead, he continued to lift the offerings.

Manju efficiently ripped out the hearts, throwing one heart after another, along with the souls residing within them, into the flames.

The corpses continued to roll downwards, overlapping each other beneath the moon god statue, where the crimson hue converged and overlapped.

The color of blood will be forever etched on this pyramid, and the blood flowing down the steps will become a mirror reflecting the sky.

If it weren't for the endless abyss below, the small lake that might have been filled with blood would indeed have resembled the place it was in, given the corpses scattered around it.

The sacred sacrifice was repeated endlessly, and the sounds of horns and flutes began to rise from nowhere.

Was it from the abyss beneath this pyramid? Perhaps.

But what seemed to come from below were mournful cries and wails, yet even the soul, along with the heart and the heterochromatic eyes, was burned in the flames and offered up to the gods.

7 Where can the dead continue to cry out their pain and lamentation?

All Liu could hear were the cries of sacrifice to the blood and to the sacred rituals.

⑥ "For the burning of the sun, we offer our hearts; for the continuation of life, we offer our blood. O enemies of all sides, those who enslave us, please calm your anger, Tescatlipoca."

3. All-powerful and invincible, the guardian of warriors, the bestower of royal power, the scheming manipulator, the destroyer of humanity, the four-colored Tescatlipoca, the all-powerful Tescatlipoca!

(iv) Lord of Darkness, King of Night, God of Creation and Destruction, I offer you my heart, make a sacrifice, and reveal the forbidden secrets to me!

The song of Sige was exhaled from Manshu's mouth, and the billowing smoke had already enveloped the entire pyramid.

The blood flowing on the steps had formed a mirror, reflecting everything in the sky onto the originally dark gray stone platform.

"Are you serious, buddy?"

The bewildered voices came from nowhere, as if people were speaking from all directions, making the same sound.

Following the sound was a series of laughter, laughter that brought no joy or happiness, only waves of nausea and a sense of self-destruction.

"Hahahaha... You unlucky bastard, it seems the only way to learn your lesson is to die a full-blown death."

Without a second thought, it was obvious that the laughter was coming from Tescatlipoca.

Having responded, the Aztec chief god had no intention of showing any pity or regret.

The black sun in the sky, which had no influence on the ground and simply emitted light and heat silently, suddenly began to ripple on its surface.

Like ripples created when something crashes into the water, that's how the black sun is changing.

It wasn't like something was being smashed into it, but rather something was about to be released from that dark sun.

What flowed out was not the power that Manju had used before, which represented death and darkness, but pure flame.

Tescatlipoca did not exercise the power that belonged to the Grim Reaper, but rather revealed his pure power as the first sun that ruled the world.

If one intends to show no mercy and completely destroy the target who dares to challenge or even kill them, then of course one should use all one's strength without reservation.

But Tescatlipoca is truly such a god; he will generously grant any brave warrior who is recognized by him and thirsts for power the opportunity to challenge him.

Therefore, he sometimes chooses to walk alone without any guards, and sometimes he chooses to lay down his weapons and fight with his bare hands.

And if one can seize the opportunity and defeat this god, one will receive unparalleled blessings.

Of course, this is the most common case, since this god has been described from the beginning as an unpredictable and omnipresent god, as elusive as the night wind.

If you're unlucky, you might see the other side, where you won't be blessed or have your wishes fulfilled; instead, you might be cursed.

He is a god who brings misfortune, disasters, mockery, and ridicule to mankind, but also protects them, brings them courage and good fortune, and inspires them to move forward—a god who is unpredictable and ever-changing.

Deep black flames and light flowed down from the dark sun, and indescribable radiance and heat were released in the raging flames.

However, despite being flames, they were manifested in the same way as the previous foul-smelling tide, forming a torrent of black fire in the form of ocean waves.

It fell from the sun in the sky, bringing endless suffering to this land and dissolving all things in the world. (9)

He is the sun god, and also the god of destruction; the cycle of the solar era and the destruction of the world are all related to him. (4)

Since this land cannot be directly reshaped into the world he rules, it would be better to completely destroy it and let Tescatlipoca complete the creation myth he created in mythology. (8)

However, what will arrive is not the Fifth Sun Age, but rather a return to the First Sun Age, which he once ruled. (2)

"Instead of interfering with me, you've chosen to destroy this place to thwart my plans?" (4)

While Tescatlipoca's actions didn't immediately cause Manshu's defeat, they actually made the situation more complicated to deal with. (3)

Because he couldn't simply leave to stop the sun's flames from burning the world. (3)

If he were to leave directly, he would be handing victory over to his opponent, and Manshu himself would likely only be able to escape in a sorry state.

This is still somewhat disheartening; at least we can't give up without even trying. (5)

"I praise you, great Vizilopochtli. You will rise from the mountains, defeat the evil moon, fight against the night, and draw strength from your blood and heart to become an eternal sun!"

Manju did not intend to defeat him by his own strength alone, so he set his sights on the Aztec guardian god, the bloodthirsty war god, one of the four-colored smoke mirrors, the sun of the fifth sun age, Vizilopochtli.

Although this deity is the national god of the Aztecs, his status is indeed not comparable to that of the Smoke Mirror and the Feathered Serpent God. In temples, he is often placed in the same position as the rain god Traloc.

But Manju only wanted to use Vizilopochtli's position; he didn't really want this bloodthirsty sun to replace the black sun.

If the sky above America at this moment were over Vizilopochtli, the number of lives still living on that land would be at least half again.

The Aztecs waged countless wars of glory around this sun god, and the blood flowing on the sacrificial pyramids was enough to stain the city in the lake crimson.

Behind the sun that Manjushri had previously invoked, a scarlet light appeared in the halo of the sun disc.

What is now not scattered light, but a blood-red sun, composed of the color of fresh blood, swallowed the original, normally colored sun by a gaping maw.

At this moment, Manjusaki used magic to summon his Noble Phantasm, Vlad III's cursed spear.

He threw the gun directly into the burning sacred fire, offering it as a sacrifice to the sun in the sky. Zhong

Vizilopochtli's most important attribute is the god of war, followed by the sun and fire. Sacrificing weapons to him is also part of the offering. Q

And just as described before, the crimson sun in the sky, like a bloodthirsty war god, extended its scarlet tongue.

He swept away the smoke swirling above the pyramids, greedily devouring all the offerings—the offered blood, hearts, and souls.

Upon receiving these offerings, the sun rapidly expanded.

The number of offerings being presented is considerable. If it weren't for the celebratory rituals following the War of Glory, the offerings needed to satisfy the sun's burning requirements would only require one divine descendant per day.

A single sacrifice exceeding one hundred is already rare. Even in a bountiful harvest, the usual sacrifice is only one hundred and forty people, corresponding to the number of days it takes for the corn to ripen. Nine

Of course, this excludes the War of Glory; the post-war rituals were much bloodier. IV.

Having stolen the offerings, the scarlet sun naturally turned its desires to another sun that still existed.

This greedy and bloodthirsty god will show no mercy whatsoever.

As a war god who slaughtered four hundred of his own brothers and sisters at birth, blood was constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth.

Terrifying flames, carrying the cursed spear that Manjusaka had just offered, were unleashed. The firestorm whipped up by the sun formed a humanoid figure, wielding the spear. (Five)

It hurtled straight towards the black sun, which was streaming with black fire in the sky, intending to knock it down and then completely take its place in the heavens. (Six)

"The highest and greatest Vicillopochitelli rises from the mountain; he will replace the primordial sun and become the new sun!"

Of course, Manju didn't expect the Vizilo Pochettino that was summoned now to be able to defeat Tescatelli Poka. After finishing his prayer, he immediately released his magic towards Geronimo.

Geronimo had already changed his attire. His face was painted, he was dressed in the attire symbolizing Tescatlipoca, he held a flute in his hand, wore a yellow headband, and had an obsidian mirror hanging around his neck.

Upon receiving Manjus's message, Geronimo immediately brought the flute to his lips and began to play.

A phantom shadow carried a wooden platform and stopped next to Geronimo. Geronimo climbed up and sat in the center of the platform, continuously playing his flute.

The rain god's cries immediately rang out, and Manju sang the priest's song until Geronimo reached the bottom of the pyramid.
