Make Trouble! Make Trouble! Make Trouble! 1/3
Semiramis, the Assyrian Empress, an ancient poisoner.
Meanwhile, she is also one of the participants in a future game called "Holy Grail War," and perhaps the two will have the chance to meet again in the future.
O Holy Grail, the omnipotent wish-granting machine, summons seven heroes from different eras to descend upon one stage, to join forces with their respective factions, and the ultimate victor will be blessed and have their wishes fulfilled.
Samael narrowed his eyes, his expression meaningful.
Where did the existence and concept of the Holy Grail originate?
One of the most famous Holy Relic of Christianity, symbolically imbued with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, invites the baptized to drink it, and is blessed by the disciples and believers to cleanse their sins and grant them the power of rejuvenation, resurrection, and so on.
As far as he knows, King of Kings Marduk, is God and, to some extent, Jesus Christ, the Son of God in Christianity.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck Samael's mind, and his pupils contracted sharply.
Wait! The Holy Grail... perhaps Jesus wasn't the only one to have its likeness...
Even the original origin did not come from that divine child!
Heroic King Gilgamesh! The Uruk Great Cup!
And there's more! The trigger for the Third Storm in the Mesopotamian world was also a Holy Grail that was inserted through the Hole of Heaven!
There were seven of those things, belonging to the Demon God King Goetia who intended to burn away Human Order in the future!
Goetia was a consciousness born on the remains of King Solomon!
In his own memory, after King Solomon died, the Seventy-Two Demon Pillars sealed inside his corpse developed independent thoughts and falsely claimed to be Solomon (therefore, from their perspective, they themselves were the King of Magecraft Solomon). They began to promote the cause of energizing all mankind, namely, Burning of Human Order, collecting spiritual particles, and reshaping the planet.
To some extent, King Solomon also possessed the Holy Grail!
The Mesopotamian Third Storm triggered by the Uruk Great Cup...
The Demon God King Goetia manipulated the seven Holy Grails, creating seven Singularity that caused the Burning of Human Order...
The Holy Grail War, whose conceptual foundation is laid by the deeds and legends of Jesus Christ...
Damn it, no wonder that anything related to the Holy Grail ends up in a bad way.
Judging from the points where these three lines intersect, you've never given up, King of Kings Jehovah, King of Kings!
The ancient snake gently nibbled at the fingernails, its brow furrowing and scattering. After a long while, it lowered its fingers and palms to watch the Heroic King, who was engrossed in handling the judgments of the dead.
"King Gilgamesh, are there any peoples or kingdoms on earth that adhere to monotheism?"
Gilgamesh paused slightly, then frowned and pondered for a moment.
"Yes! Jews! Israel!"
Although Samael had expected this, his pupils still contracted involuntarily.
After a moment's consideration, the ancient serpent, having edited and revised its inner concerns and speculations, delivered a serious warning to the people of the Underworld.
"You mean, the establishment of the Jews state might be orchestrated by God, or rather, Marduk?"
Ishtar's breathing became labored, and her face was filled with astonishment.
Upon hearing the news, Ereshkigal, Enkidu, Gilgamesh, and the others exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions grave.
The war God Ea had only just ended, and now that guy is already causing trouble again?
Or rather, the so-called post-war peace and tranquility is just wishful thinking on their part; Marduk has never relinquished control over the world.
Their eyes met, a deep sense of apprehension filling each other's gazes.
There was no way around it; the King of Kings had left too deep an impression on them, and was far too powerful.
In the war against the God Ea, the human side had an extremely luxurious lineup.
Among the main gods alone, there are five goddesses: Gorgon, Ishtar, Ereshkigal, the Jaguar Man, and Quetzalcoatl.
Then there's a Grand Assassin, a near- Grand Magus, the Chain of Heaven, the Wedge of Heaven, and himself, an existence defying fate.
Thus, they were utterly defeated when they fought Marduk at the Temple of Ea.
In the end, it was only through the desperate efforts of everyone to create an opportunity for Mother Goddess Tiamat of Origin, that they were able to turn defeat into victory at the end of the Fate Tablets.
Looking back now, I realize that the battle was won with immense effort and hardship, and there was a significant element of luck involved.
Now, the divine consciousness of Mother Goddess Tiamat has followed Samael on a long journey, three of the five goddesses are gone, and even the once united Sumer city-states have been conquered by other tribes because of their incompetence.
If Marduk were to descend again, even if all of them in the Underworld were to fight to the last man, they might not be able to stop the ambition of the King of King of Kings.
As his thoughts returned to their original state, the previously joyful atmosphere suddenly became stagnant and oppressive. Even the Heroic King Gilgamesh couldn't help but furrow his brow and mutter a cold laugh.
"No wonder, I can't understand how these old, weak and sick Israel managed to escape Ramesses II's pursuers and cross the chaotic and stormy Red Sea."
"He was guilty, and after living in the Egyptian Civilization Belt over 400 years, he finally received God's forgiveness, returned to the Promised Land, and established a nation..."
"Isn't this exactly the kind of rhetoric that bastard Marduk loves to spout? It seems those Jews have been tamed."
Ishtar immediately pulled out a handful of gems, gritted his teeth inwardly, and gleamed with malice in his eyes.
"Why don't I just go and wipe out Israel! If one Noble Phantasm isn't enough, then I'll use two!"
You idiot, you're so weak-willed, yet you dare to swagger around in front of Marduk?
What if Israel is still hiding a secret, able to communicate with their God, and isn't afraid of your "spirit medium" séance striking you?
Samael's lips twitched, and he rolled his eyes.
"Ishtar, you're too reckless! And utterly inhuman!"
Hearing Ereshkigal's calm advice and the action of pulling Ishtar back, the ancient serpent breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Even though that idiot is unreliable, at least my owner is quite rational.
"Or I'll secretly dig a tunnel to connect to the underworld, spread Death Qi, and imprison all the Jews souls!"
The Underworld Goddess's eyes flickered as she held the gun, her palms itching with anticipation.
She Uruk, but also in Uruk; she was very experienced.
At this moment, Enkidu stepped forward, raised his hand, and placed his fingers on the shoulder of this mischievous goddess, his expression serious.
"I can make my move tonight and use the Chain of Heaven to seal off the human vessel that can summon spirits."
"Digging tunnels is nothing! Even if we can't show ourselves directly, earthquakes or floods will do! My Gugalanna isn't to be trifled with!"
Ishtar picked up the palm-sized, clumsy-looking, yet "majestic" Bull of Heaven, not to be outdone.
Looking at the group of goddesses and sages who were discussing how to effectively and quickly destroy a human nation, High Priestess Siduri and Saint Shamhat's lips twitched and their faces turned black.
Even if Israel and Sumer don't have much connection, at least consider the feelings of us two pure human beings.
"Are you trying to make me laugh to death, you bunch of idiots!"
"What's the point of destroying Israel? A few idiots!"
Two roars of uncontrollable rage came out as if by prior agreement.
Gilgamesh, his forehead veins bulging, picked up his mud tablet and smacked the three troublemakers on the head one by one.
Samael looked at the three figures kneeling side by side on the ground, each clutching a large bump on their head, admitting their mistakes and repenting. He felt a strange sense of sympathy for the Heroic King whose blood pressure was rising.
Life is tough in both Greece and Mesopotamia.
