The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

"Soon I will be able to set foot on Ekul, turn it into ruins, and then turn Nippur into ruins as well."

Jingu was unmoved by these words and charged straight at Manshu.

The earthen artifacts surrounded Kingu to defend against any possible attacks from Manju, while the covering strikes continued to prevent and intercept Manju.

Bagogon's towering figure continued to rumble across the land as it moved toward them. Manshu glanced at the people on the city wall, who were filled with fear and intimidation, and decided to shift the battlefield slightly.

With Gorgon here, these people probably won't be able to fight normally, and could be intimidated at any time.

7. "Then come along. I will give you the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to Ekul, even if you have ulterior motives, because you cannot move the mountain by the slightest."

⑹Manju paved a road with the wind, heading towards the high mountain in the center of the city, and he walked forward on the wind.

"Ha... Foolish thing to do. That's why you and the old humans were eliminated."

Sanjingu scoffed, not stepping onto the steps constructed by Manshu, but instead flying up himself, continuing his attack without mercy.

4. "Is that so? Wait until you can climb the mountain. Ekul is at the top. As long as you destroy Ekul, the illusion of Enlil will naturally disappear. As long as you can do that."

4. Manju seemed to have no worries about this and walked into the city.

(ii) The power of calamity gathered into a halo around Manju, and the divine power of calamity blocked Jingu's attack.

Soumanshu did not launch an attack, but instead continued to advance, and the accumulated disasters only served a defensive purpose.

However, it is more than enough for defense, even far more than enough, preventing the Jin Gu from being destroyed immediately.

Manju was using magic to clear away all obstacles in front of him, ensuring that his battlefield would not affect anything.

Once you reach the high mountain, you'll find it deserted except for Manshu; no one was allowed to be there.

The bountiful ox horn stood there, transforming into a high mountain, while the space below continued to adjust with the tremors of the earth.

When the magic of the calamity finally gave way and shattered like glass, Manju had already arrived in the center of the city, at the foot of the mountain.

"While this calamity's magic is enough to withstand city-level firepower, it shouldn't have taken so long to shatter against you. Were you planning to save your strength to destroy Ekul? I've already told you, this mountain is insurmountable; only with a pilgrim's heart can one possibly reach its end."

Standing at the foot of the mountain, a trickling stream flows here; it is the spring water that Manshu just drew down from the mountain, the spring water he had previously scooped up.

He walked slowly to the stream and washed his hands with water.

"Pretending to be something you're not. How much strength do you have left at this point? Even if you had the whole city to use, it wouldn't mean much to you."

Jingu was still questioning when the tremors came from behind him. Gorgon also ignored the people on the city wall; they were insignificant. As long as the gods in the city were killed, those people would be easy to deal with.

What we need to do now is to pluck humanity's hopes, just as we plucked wild strawberries.

"The rest are enough to deal with you. If we were outside the city, we would have to worry about you escaping, but here we don't need to worry about that."

After washing his hands, he frantically searched for information in the QQ group:衈】［玖四…%〇∮‰泀〖+35｛?⒍∨‰⒋. A sudden gust of wind rose beside Manshu, blowing everything around him away.

Jingu was also forced back by the strong wind, but out of caution, he took the force and retreated.

"I've already wasted enough time talking to him. Just keep at it and crush him."

Gorgon had lost all patience. Her massive body charged straight at her, her snake-like hair spewing out enormous amounts of magic as she roared and pounced.

Manju immediately manipulated the raging winds, weaving them into a giant net that drew down lightning from the sky to intercept Gorgon.

Kingu simultaneously unleashed numerous magical weapons and concealed chains underground, attempting to use the opportunity to bind Manshu.

Here, with Gorgon and Jingu working together, Manju could only unleash a barrage of lightning from the sky, combined with the sharp blades formed by the gale to drive Gorgon and Jingu away.

"This city is destined for destruction, so there is no need for lingering. The wind and rain I summoned for abundance, the streams I drew forth, I command you to gather together, to transform abundance into destruction, to become the waves that sweep in, forming a flood that devours the world!"

Enlil once brought down the first world-ending flood in mythology on the land of Sumer. It was the Nabistin Flood that destroyed the era that began with Eridu. After the flood, the throne fell to Kish, and the Early Dynastic Period of Sumer began.

8 The rainwater that gathers on this land has never diminished. Even though it is evaporated by the extremely high heat, the evaporated water vapor still returns to the sky and falls back as rainwater.

The power of abundance has long been planted on this land, and the high mountains behind Manju are formed by the infusion of this abundant power.

(7) Referring to this mountain as a cow horn is not just a description of its majesty and steepness, but a genuine name.

The zebu holds a very special significance throughout West Asia, as well as Asia Minor and Egypt. It is a symbol of abundance, a manifestation of power, and a representation of authority.

Luennir is also regarded as the god of abundance and life force, as well as the god of uncontrollable natural forces.

The umbrella is his extension of the power of the wind, for storms naturally summon rain. Water naturally brings abundance, and the wildness of storms also brings unstoppable fury.

The deities associated with weather and nature are naturally unpredictable; they are the embodiment of nature, and like nature itself, they are capricious and incomprehensible.

According to the myths of Enlil and Ninglil, Enlil is also considered to be a god who died and was resurrected.

It is said that Ninglier's mother, Nubarshegunu, wanted to marry her daughter to Enlier, but Enlier initially did not accept.

But when Ninglier came to the riverbank, Enlier seduced Ninglier there, causing Ninglier to become pregnant with their child, the future moon goddess Nanna.

This angered the older generation of gods, who sentenced Enlil to be banished to the underworld as punishment for his transgression against the goddess.

Because she was pregnant, Ninglier followed in Enlier's footsteps and went to the underworld.

Enlil used transformation techniques to impersonate the gatekeeper of the underworld, the traveler on the River Styx, and the boatman on the River Styx to meet Ninglil three times, and made Ninglil pregnant three times, giving birth to three children.

This myth primarily explains Ninglier's role as Enlier's consort and depicts the growth of the two gods from youth. However, Enlier's banishment to the underworld and subsequent return also leads to his being considered a resurrection.

These attributes seem to be not too different from those of Baal, the bountiful and raging bull, the god of death and resurrection.

This may also be an influence of Enlil, the king of the gods of Mesopotamia, on the gods of the surrounding regions.

The Babylonians replaced him with Marduk and melted him down, the Hurians merged Enlil with their father of gods Kumarbi, and the Assyrians merged Enlil with their national god Ashur.

All the civilizations surrounding Mesopotamia that were influenced by Mesopotamia, from the time Enlil defeated Andromeda and became the king of the gods in the 24th century BC, would undoubtedly have drawn upon the worship of this new king of the gods.

This is also why Manju was able to relatively easily replace Enlil's identity and wield Enlil's power.

Enlil's throne has been seized by Manshu, and Enlil's earthly temple has now been transformed into Manshu's temple.

The Canaanite and Babylonian god-kings reside in Manjushri. Both Baal and Marduk received their due rewards from earlier myths and authorities.

With the power of Baal and Marduk, they were able to imitate Enlil's power almost perfectly. In addition, Tescatlipoca's authority as an omnipotent being was enough to make everything a reality.

As long as the scope is defined and it only takes effect within this city, the cost is not too high. After all, Manshu can also get support from Nippur City, which saves him effort.

The world-destroying flood, through its abundant power, transformed into a violent natural disaster. Once the abundant rain exceeded its limits and became unstoppable, it turned into a catastrophe.

The great river that brings life and civilization, once it breaks free from its confining course, transforms into a calamity that plunders lives and destroys fields and civilization.

Thus all blessings turned into disaster, just as the raging god's joyful face instantly turned into fury.

Enlil did not hesitate to inflict various calamities on humanity simply because human voices disturbed him. If it were not for Enki's protection, humanity would have perished even before the Great Flood.

Enlil noticed that Enki was repeatedly hindering his actions, so he confined Enki to his quarters. Enki still informed Utnapishtim about the impending flood.

The man who received Enki's warning built a large ship to save his family and livestock from disaster. They survived after drifting on the water for seven days.

However, this is the Akkadian version of the flood story. The Sumerian version, recorded on stone tablets, is quite fragmented, with only fragments showing the beginning and end of the flood remaining; the cause and middle sections have been destroyed.

But now, the enemy naturally cannot gain the favor of the Sumerian gods. If the gods still existed, they would naturally cooperate as they did when they destroyed Akkad.

After all, Akkad had angered not only Enlil but also Ishtar, which led to the destruction by the gods. (4)

"Whether you flee backwards or continue climbing forward, you cannot escape the surging of the Great Flood. Though not as large as the Namisting Flood, the rage born of abundant magic is no less powerful." lin

Nippur, after all, wasn't a particularly grand or expansive city. Despite its return to a more divine past, it was far from complete. In retrospect, it was merely a rather ordinary city, except that the mountains within it appeared excessively tall, and the city walls were somewhat unusual.

However, the city's area is still not large, and the collected water can only create a small current. Therefore, it is natural to strengthen the power of the flowing water, imbuing the transformed water with anger. 3

The overwhelming power of the flood was still evident here; as the water surged forth, creating towering waves that crashed down from the mountains behind Manshu, Jingu perhaps remained oblivious. ⑤

But when the treasures flew out from the ground and struck the waves of the flood, Kingu discovered that they could not pierce the water. ⑥

When the water slammed against him, Jin Gu finally understood the rage contained within it; the floodwaters were woven together as a single entity, carrying immense force to strike any obstacle in their path. (iv)

Kingu could not stand on the ground and kept backing away, while Gorgon still used his monstrous strength to resist the surging water head-on.

The waves continue to surge, and the impact they bring is getting stronger with each wave.

Chapter 153 The Zodiac

Wave after wave, each stronger than the last, surged forward relentlessly, and would not stop until it had completely submerged everything on the ground.

Gorgon used his superhuman strength to stop the crashing waves, but how could he possibly stop the great flood that would devour the world and leave nothing but water on the earth with just his physical strength?

Gorgon was merely obstructing and stalling for time, giving Jingu an opportunity to create a chance to break through the waves.

Kingu was created by the Magic King using Enkidu's corpse, and he completely inherited Enkidu's abilities.

The treasure brought about by the wisdom of the people is the memory of the planet. Its essence is to imitate human history and draw out the memory of the earth to produce all kinds of things from the earth.

There aren't many weapons that can be manufactured at this time, but since it's a flood, there are indeed ways and opportunities to deal with it.

The Great Flood of Nabistin originated in Sumer, and the people who survived the flood were also Sumerians. The ark that saved them was built by human hands.

From the memory of the land, the great ship that Utnapistim built to survive the world-ending flood could naturally be manufactured as well.

Although the floodwaters are currently confined to a very small area, and the force of the surging water has been amplified, as long as one avoids being hit by the flood and walks on the water's surface, one can avoid this force.

Jin Gu used clay to create an ark that had survived the catastrophe, and added several more layers of defense on top to prevent it from being too fragile and sinking directly.

Jingu jumped onto the deck of the ark, maneuvered the boat across the water, and called out to his mother, urging Gorgon to jump onto the boat as well.

Even if they destroy the ship again, it will only force them to build another ship before they are submerged in the flood.

If it cannot be destroyed cleanly and efficiently, this will be inevitable. For Kingu, it is not too troublesome to create a new Noble Phantasm from the ground.

After all, at this moment, he could create hundreds or even thousands of magical artifacts in one go, so what was the big deal?

As the core of Kingu's magic, the Holy Grail naturally supports him in fully utilizing his body's capabilities.

This is the greatest masterpiece created by the gods, the strongest weapon in Uruk.

Faced with a flood, using an ark to solve the problem is indeed a fairly normal answer, and this is where the convenience of the golden ark lies.

Although he could create far fewer Noble Phantasms in this era, it was still enough for his needs.

However, these nine things were easily overlooked, and still could not be accepted or tolerated.

Manjusaka drew upon the transformation that occurred from the flood, allowing the power of the disaster to once again transform into a halo, into radiating magic that flew out.

The forces of plague, earthquakes, and other disasters were also unleashed, making the floodwaters even more turbulent and constantly eroding the ark beneath the golden shield, at least serving a destructive purpose.

Now that the power on earth has been exhausted, it is time to look up at the sky. As the king of the gods, Enlil's power is not limited to everything on earth.

Enlil's name has been interpreted as a weather phenomenon of wind, or a soul, or a disturbance like air, thus he is considered the god of storms, the god of the atmosphere, and the lord of spirits.

However, some believe that the meaning of Enlil's name may not refer to a specific realm. Enlil is more likely a typical cosmic god without a specific realm.

The Sumerians believed that the three great gods Enlil, An, and Enki together constituted all the fixed stars in the night sky, and that they commanded these stars and constructed a sacred meaning.
