The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

The earth formed armor and swords, and then holy light was cast down from both sides of the city, empowering these weapons.

"If you are willing to believe, this tower was built for you. Otherwise, why would you have gathered here to add to it? This tower was meant to be seen by people, to help them through the coming calamity, and to reach the impossible salvation."

After speaking, Manju didn't wait for the androids' reactions or responses before stepping onto the ever-ascending tower.

Everything before was merely the prelude to a song; listen to the earth outside still singing its praises, and see how the land of his paradise continues to expand.

Behold the staff of serpents, constantly battered, the starlight that once parted the flood has long since lost its initial brilliance.

Even if the brilliance of the fallen crown were to once again obstruct everything, what would a towering giant fear of falling stars?

Even if a third of these illusory stars had fallen, or even if all of them had fallen, how could they possibly destroy the miracle of the Creator?

Only by climbing the tower can one compare to Adam, the original man who was already finished.

"Are you planning to go too? Indeed, I've already left you a hunting target. Go and fulfill your revenge." 9.

When Manju was halfway there, flames shot from his eyes and fell to the ground, making a plea to Manju. (iv)

Manju readily agreed, and his flames transformed into a lion, which leaped from the tower and landed before the group of homunculus. 8.

He continued climbing, until he reached the top of the Tower of Babel, having completed the first level. II.

The tower will continue to rise higher and higher into the sky. Although it may never actually reach the horizon where the throne of God is located, if it rises to its maximum, it might even reach the stratosphere or something similar. (4)

However, at this moment, the tower is less than 100 meters tall, and its power is only limited to restraining the giant in front of it. (3)

Manjuska's crown held little meaning or use for the giant before him; it merely served as a forceful obstacle. ③

Pure white holy light rained down relentlessly from the sky, striking the giant in front of him with concentrated force.

Even so, the radiance could not conceal the giant; the primordial beings could still be seen moving about. 5.

The damage this radiance inflicted on the land was clearly far greater than the damage it caused to the giant.

The earth had sunk several layers under the continuous bombardment, and even at the edges, the land was emitting a dark red glow like lava amidst the booming explosions.

Further ahead on the ground, what one sees are things that resemble flowing molten iron, and the land that once sang praises is being constantly ravaged.

The grass and trees that flourished because of the miracle, even if they were not destroyed by the falling stars, lost their color under the high temperature, withered and turned yellow quickly, and then burned into ashes.

But it still wasn't enough. In the scorching heat of the furnace, the primordial being still reached out his hand and touched the tower that was still rising ahead.

Just as they were about to touch, a white comet rose from the tower, blocking the primordial being and forcing him to take several steps back.

"It's time. Your privilege of dominating has long since come to an end. Now, fulfill your final purpose, King of Heaven."

Manju grasped the crown presented before him and, without any hesitation, shattered it.

The crown was completely unnecessary for him.

However, now that we have obtained it, we should hold onto it and use it to complete the industry here.

Now, everything is nearing its end, and there is no longer any need for the royal power bestowed by the gods.

Despite the transgression, this crown of heaven held ultimate value for Manjusaka.

"The day of wrath has come, the world will be reduced to ashes, and the judges will find out the truth."

Just as Manjus had said before, the horns resounded across the sky at that moment, bringing a harbinger of good fortune.

The voice could be heard by all the remaining Servants; it resounded in their ears, compelling them to head towards the tower.

"Is there even a place for us on this battlefield?"

The followers had naturally witnessed this scene long ago, but they knew that this mythical sight was beyond their control.

Let alone getting involved, the biggest question is whether one even has the right to survive if one steps into it.

But the sound of the horn brought a call, urging them to march forward and shout, until they reached the tower ahead.

"Now that the Black Archer has extended an invitation, it would be too shameful to continue standing here and watching from afar."

Achilles didn't think too much about it; he simply took a step forward and jumped off the Hanging Gardens.

The garden was lucky; few stars came toward it, most of them crashing directly to the ground, with only a few hitting the garden.

Most of them were destroyed by the Hanging Gardens' own counter-attack spells, with only one grazing the edge of the Hanging Gardens and causing considerable damage.

But even so, it's enough to illustrate the point, which is why the Hanging Gardens remained there without moving forward.

Because the number of stars falling from the giant in front of us is probably in the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

“Now is indeed the best opportunity. Since Archer has sounded this horn, calling us to his front to be judged, he shouldn’t be hindering us from moving forward.”

At this moment, most of his power was tied up in the golem that resembled Adam ahead. If he could enter his stronghold, find the core of his position, and destroy it, then there would still be a chance of victory.

Kotomine Shiro was not frightened by the scene and spoke in a serious and calm voice.

"Let the Hanging Gardens stop in the area where the meteors don't fall too densely, and then go all out, everyone. If we fail, then we can only declare this Holy Grail War a defeat for us, so there's no need for anyone to stay behind. Fight with all your might, and all our Masters will give us their full support."

"You don't need to say more about this. Looking at this scene of battle, like something out of a myth, I'm already prepared. Even dying in it would be enough."

"Then I entrust this to you all. May your martial prowess be assured."

Kotomine Shiro's expression remained unchanged; he simply offered his sincere blessings. (iv)

The Hanging Gardens continued forward for a while, and the Servants who had been waiting at the bow of the ship jumped down one after another, stepping onto the scorched earth and rushing towards the fortress ahead. (8)

"Archer actually took the initiative to extend an invitation, so it's not surprising at all."

Vlad III gazed calmly into the distance; for him, this scene truly existed only in his imagination.

However, the king, who had initially shown shock, had now regained his composure. (9)

No matter what, the person before him was his enemy, and as a ruling king, how could he possibly show any fear?

"This is an appointment we have to keep. Just as Archer said, this is our last chance, and we must seize it."

Danic gave a wry smile and said that he could only pin his hopes on this place now, otherwise he couldn't see any hope of victory at all.

"Then let his arrogance pay a good price, let him know that the warriors under Charlemagne's command are not just empty names."

Astolfo showed no fear either. Although he might have been intimidated under normal circumstances, he was completely unaffected at this moment.

He was meant to be that kind of person; in this final battle, he showed no fear, only unwavering confidence.

"I never imagined that I would be going to war with you, Rider. Show me your bravery and let me witness Charlemagne's valiant figure."

Vlad III tightened his grip on the reins and spoke to Astolfo.

"Don't worry, Lancer, just watch how Charlemagne's twelve warriors perform."

Astolfo patted his chest and said.

"That's good. Fight to the very last moment and seize victory!"

Despite being surrounded by only a few people, Vlad III still used a loud voice as a clarion call for the charge.

He gripped the horse's reins tightly and rode off in the direction of the foraging.

Astolfo immediately summoned his eagle, which flew forward from the sky.

Meanwhile, in the city, the artificial beings who had received Manjus's words were also making preparations.

For some reason, they did believe what Manju said.

They picked up the swords and armor from the ground to arm themselves, and then prepared to go to the city wall to defend it.

However, with a deafening roar, the fortress in front of them began to crumble.

The bricks and stones that made up the city wall were directly dismantled and then flew towards the tower behind them.

"The king is accelerating the progress of the Tower of Babel, but even so, it will probably take several hours."

Fiore stayed there as well, choosing not to seek refuge elsewhere.

After all, even if one seeks refuge, it's nothing more than hiding in a palace and waiting for everything to end.

But that won't do, even though she's an indecisive person who struggles to make choices.

But now she at least has some self-awareness. She also hopes to be a reliable Master, and victory must be earned with her own hands.

“Since you have responded to the king’s words and are willing to serve as his subjects and guard this place.”

The promised blessings will then come upon you; the angels guarding this position will give you strength and teach you how to fight and win.

So Fiore addressed the androids, drawing upon the power of the two angels who protected this place.

"Although you do not know what the King's plans are, forget everything I said before. Your name will be Leviathan. When the sun rises, when the feast of the righteous begins, you will become the dragon that saves them. Are you satisfied with this outcome?"

Then Fiore specifically pulled the android Astolfo sent aside and spoke to him. 4

"I am very happy to have this name. I have received enough. Life has continued here, and my compatriots have gained freedom."

I never imagined my wishes would come true, and I'm very satisfied with everything. I can do whatever I want.

The android offered no objection, responding with a broad smile. 2.

"Then go ahead. Do you see the serpent staff ahead? It's prepared for you, to grant you absolute control over water, to reveal the touch of the dragon and serpent's shadow."

Wait for the sun to rise; then you will know your mission and gain the strength to fulfill it. (鲮)

Before that, defeat those usurpers who attempt to stop all this; they have arrived. (5)

While the two were talking, someone had already crossed the scorched earth and stepped through the flames to arrive here.

The sight of the fortress crumbling was also imprinted on their eyes; the collapsing walls, of course, could not possibly stop the Servants.

Because everything is returning to the Tower of Babel, including the concepts of the eight fortresses beneath its feet—the origins of kingdoms, the origins of civilization after the flood—all must converge within that tower. Q

To recreate that former glory, to once again reveal that incredible taboo—this is the foundation of everything.

Regardless of the future, or any evolution or misinterpretation, we can always trace and discover the underlying principles.

Everything traces back to that one unique civilization, that unified people, the starting point where humanity first took its first steps:

"I have absolutely no interest in you, so get out of the way."

Yinghao's voice came first; it was obvious he would be the first to arrive.

Of course, it was Achilles, the greatest hero who could be called the fastest man among humans.

He should have arrived here faster than his own voice could have, but seeing the obstacle in front of him, he stopped and shouted loudly.

But at that moment, a roar of utter fury came from the side. The lion, which had been lying down at a normal size, suddenly swelled up and became a giant lion several meters long, pouncing towards Achilles.

Sekhmet is not one to hold grudges. As a powerful goddess known for her rage, she would naturally remember this hatred.
