The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Mashu's exoskeleton armor managed to block the attack, but at the cost of her kneeling on the ground, her face contorted in pain.

“O people, you should know that resisting the governor is futile. O people, the very will to resist the governor is disrespectful.”

"You are... Ah, so that's how it is. You've grown into 15-year-old souls without ever having children? Then die! Your souls won't go to Valhalla; they'll only be devoured as sacrifices to the giants. Die without love, humans."

Valkyrie remained indifferent, delivering his judgment as if he were a god standing on a platform.

"What do you mean by 'no love'...!"

Mashu roared in bewilderment and anger. She couldn't understand it, and she couldn't comprehend it. She simply couldn't accept the cruel rules before her.

“I don’t understand this Scandinavia, nor do I know your values. But I know very well that this is cruel! I’m not referring to offering the villagers to the giants, but to letting children die as children! I cannot tolerate this kind of behavior under any circumstances!”

"Indeed, even if we offer up five sacrificial items, they should at least be warriors. Such a meaningless sacrifice is a tremendous waste." (5℃)

Manju gripped the trident and blocked Valkyrie's sudden, lightning-fast charge.

"Envoys shouldn't fight each other... Lord Hafdan! Lady Mash!"

When Gerda saw that the two sides had already started fighting, he shouted anxiously.

"No, Miss Gerda! I am not a royal messenger! That's why I am here and able to fight her!"

"Since you are merely a Valkyrie, you are not worthy of my title. Even if you are the daughter of a great god, you are not worthy of my respect if you do not possess sufficient bravery. Let me measure your worth as a Valkyrie."

Although Valkyries exist as the daughter of the great god Odin, they are demigods who are close to the gods.

But it is clear that the Valkyrie Manjusaka was not the daughter of a powerful god like Brunhilde.

Manjushri brandished his trident and chanted praises of Shiva's lightning, causing Valkyrie, who was wielding a light spear, to immediately retreat in disarray.

In terms of strength and other physical attributes, Valkyrie is far inferior to Manju.

Valkyrie could only quickly use runes to enhance her own abilities in order to keep the battle going.

But her shield and light gun were no match for Shiva's lightning, and their swan costumes crumbled at the slightest touch.

The white robes worn by Valkyrie are a sacred garment bestowed upon her by the god Odin. Not only do they grant her the ability to fly, but Odin also bestowed upon them protection, enabling her to reject all effects that affect her spirit and deflect physical attacks of level B or lower.

However, Manju's attack had already reached the level of A-rank. With the addition of the magic power from prayer, the Trident of the God of Wet Stone could easily tear apart even Odin's protection.

As Valkyrie suffered repeated defeats, she faced her inevitable end. In her final moment of defense with her shield, the trident shattered the silver shield on her arm and cleaved her body in two.

"Please, give the censor..."

Valkyrie said in disbelief, "As the lowest level of life in the Norse Lostbelt, humans should not have any power to resist Valkyrie in their long history of records."

"As a Valkyrie, haven't you ever seen a hero whose power surpasses that of a demigod?"

Manshu asked in confusion, "Even if the humans in the Norse Lostbelt after the turning point were just domesticated like pigs, they should have been able to see the real heroes who were led to Valhalla before that."

Unless the other party was born after the timeline of Lostbelt, does Valkyrie, as Odin's daughter, mean that Odin still exists in Norse mythology?

This made Manshu think more deeply. Recalling what Valkyrie had said about the only god, could it be the Lostbelt that occurred after Odin survived Ragnarok?

"The soul of a warrior... since it was mass-produced over two thousand and several hundred years... has never... been seen..."

Valkyrie uttered words slowly, like a malfunctioning robot, before finally ceasing all movement.

And her words do indeed prove that she was born after Ragnarok, but the word "mass production" may have some changes.

"She's not a Servant, even though she has magical energy..."

Mash reported that Valkyrie was indeed not a Servant, but existed as a living being.

After it was confirmed that it had been destroyed, it did not dissipate into spiritual light, but remained lying quietly on the ground.

“There are so many... so many! Why are you doing this, Mashu-sama! The envoys are fighting each other! This will surely anger the gods.”

Gerda asked, puzzled.

"The envoy has disappeared... What are we going to do on the chosen day? Strange, strange! This is so strange! We've all offered flowers, but the envoy can't open the door."

The children over there stared wide-eyed and gaped, looking like headless flies.

"It's not over yet. Oh, I knew my feeling was right. I was wondering why only one Valkyrie landed."

Manju was still staring at the sky when he turned to Mashu and said something.

"The exoskeleton's output is still holding up, the SoftBank Stand is fine, and I can continue fighting!"

Mashu simply nodded, showing no sign of backing down.

"However, it seems the envoy is treating the villagers as objects of protection, and he seemed to be careful not to let the aftershocks of the attack affect them. I'm afraid the chances of the village being affected are very low... Most importantly, I'm very sorry, my actions were extremely ill-considered..."

"That's irrelevant. How to do it is not something to worry about. Since the humiliation is happening right before our eyes, how can we continue to tolerate it?"

"I'll just say that," Manju said casually, and went forward to pick up the light gun from Valkyrie's hand.

It's a bit of a shame that Manjusaka smashed the shield herself, but Valkyrie's main weapon was still preserved.

This is a weapon bestowed by the god Odin, a degraded copy of his divine spear Gungnir.

Although it's just a degraded replica, it's possible that it could still deliver performance comparable to the real thing in a single use.

So Manjushri removed Shiva's trident and instead took Valkyrie's light gun; it's always better to play with a new toy first.

The newly appeared Valkyrie rushed over, and Manshu rushed forward only to feel even more confused.

He switched his weapon to the Valkyrie's gun, but found it much easier to fight.

With a sweep of his weapon, he knocked down the Valkyries in front of him. In just a few rounds, his spear had already pierced through one of the Valkyries.

"How come your level is even worse than that Valkyrie we just met? Could it be that you're just inferior imitations too?"

Manju said without any politeness, and in less than ten minutes he had defeated all seven Valkyries who had surrounded him.

But it didn't stop there; multiple magical reactions continued to occur from high above.

"A piecemeal tactic? It seems these Valkyries are really worthless expendables."

"Um, listen to me, Lady Mashu, Lady Hafdan, please stop! The envoys shouldn't be killing each other anymore. Lady Mashu looks like she's in a lot of pain... please..."

Mash is now ultimately using the Servant's power through external means. Although she can handle these Valkyries perfectly well, it is clearly still a considerable burden for her.

Gerda couldn't help but worry and whispered with concern.

"The adults who receive the bouquets must go to the other side of the door. It's been that rule for a very, very long time! As soon as they do, the giants will immediately surround them and crush them all in an instant. I've peeked through the crack in the door many times; they've all been crushed into meat patties, unable to say a word or do anything..."

But it's alright, it's not scary. As long as there's an envoy as a witness, you can go to Valhalla! Because it's ordained by the gods, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just a little bit scary... As long as you get crushed, it'll be fine, that's all—"

Gerda said worriedly, trying to persuade them to stop fighting.

Chapter Thirty: Preservation

"How could there be no problem! No matter who it is, I won't let them die, and I don't want them to die!"

Fujimaru Rikka responded quite vehemently to Gerda's repeated persuasion.

This place may be the biggest impact on him. The aftermath of the previous Lostbelt has not yet faded, and he still has to make the same choice in this Lostbelt.

"senior……"

Mashu couldn't help but look over with some concern.

"Why? After all, this was established a long, long time ago..."

Gerda still couldn't understand their actions at this moment. What was happening before her eyes was something that had been going on for thousands of years in the Nordic Lostbelt, and had become like a natural law.

“I’m sorry, Miss Gerda. I will not lay down my shield, even if it is an absolute rule, even if it is what everyone expects. I, and we, do not want to abandon anyone! Not even one, two, or even hundreds of millions of lives lost!”

As Mashu was speaking, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of them, accompanied by the sound of cannon fire.

A man as fiery as a flame stood not far away, aiming the massive cannon he was holding in both hands at the sky, a smile on his face as enviable as the rising sun.

"Did you call me? Ah, you did, didn't you? I know without you saying it. I'm right here!"

The man, as fiery as a flame, fired from the enormous cannon he held in his arms, shooting down several Valkyries flying in the sky in one go.

"Although they are mass-produced individuals, they can still blast away several riders at once. I have a certain understanding of the Servants, including the ones named Mash Kyrielight and Halfdan from earlier."

(9) So-called followers are beings that can shake the rule of the gods. These beings should not be loved, but rather annihilated.

"The Si River begins to connect, begins to connect! All surrounding envoys, begin to connect! Nothing that defies the gods should exist."

(8) Valkyrie, hovering in the sky, determined the situation by the consecutive losses of the two squads and began to call for the main force to launch a general annihilation battle.

2. "Hahahaha, it's great that you can all rush over together! Then cheer yourselves up and bring it on!"

The man wielding the giant cannon was also a hearty and valiant warrior, showing no fear whatsoever.

san "Servant!"

Seeing the unexpected help, San quickly detected some encouraging information from the equipment.

"He didn't rely on Lostbelt magic; he must be a Heroic Spirit etched into the annals of criminals! That man was the first one we encountered in Northern Europe..."

5. "Are heroes born from their words and deeds? No, they are born from the expectations of the people. This is my feeling after experiencing all the ups and downs of life, from the pinnacle of heroism to the depths of despair, and it is absolutely true!"

The man wielding the giant cannon spoke loudly, leaving Gerda even more bewildered by the situation.

"Hero...? Who... are you...?"

"What's wrong? Miss, you're sure to grow up to be a beauty. Are you asking me? Me? I'm the kind of man who will respond to anyone who has expectations or desires for something."

I am the man who sees the brilliance of stars behind the boys and girls who rebel against the fate of the world! My cannons are entrusted to you, girls of pan-human history!

He is a truly straightforward man. No need for further words, he is a hero born from people's emotions and the expectations of the masses.

He will respond to those expectations and desires, raising the giant cannon in his hand high.

"Very good, let's work together to crush the enemy's forces and break through their formation."

Manju didn't recognize the servant in front of him, so it didn't affect him much. However, at least his cheerful appearance at the beginning didn't make people feel any ill will.

Since the other party is a follower of the Pan-Human History who is on our side, there is no need to say more. Let's deal with the envoys who have already appeared in the sky, as numerous as stars.

Such a vast number of Valkyries could probably only be seen during Ragnarok.

The Valkyries that have appeared here are probably not even qualified to participate in the battle of Ragnarok.

Even a lower-ranking deity should be able to easily tear apart these Valkyries' formation.

The quality of these mass-produced items was so poor that Manshu suspected it might not have been Odin who survived Ragnarok, but some other god. (5)

However, because his understanding of Norse mythology wasn't very deep, he could only consider the possibility that certain gods possessed this technology. 7
