But when everything happened and the crisis of human extinction truly arrived, Chaldea suffered another devastating blow.
The pressure on the Chaldea members was still immense.
Although he didn't say anything, deep down he felt confused and worried about the future.
The pressure was immense, and in an environment like Chaldea, there was no outlet for the emotions. The negative feelings were constantly bottled up inside, keeping the nerves on edge.
This is very bad for the long term. It can easily lead to mental health problems, which in turn will affect work. Making mistakes at work will further increase the pressure, creating a vicious cycle that will eventually lead to self-destruction.
What Marx and Engels did on May 20th was to give the people of Chaldea an outlet for their emotions, allowing them to release their pressure and breaking this potentially vicious cycle.
Thinking about this, Olga Marie couldn't help but feel ashamed.
This was originally a problem that she, as the director, should have considered, but she only noticed its existence after Maren had solved it.
"Seriously, that's pretty bad..."
Olga Marie murmured dejectedly, feeling somewhat disappointed in herself.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to have some fun."
Marx and Engels, realizing their intentions had been seen through, simply shrugged.
While I did have the idea of relieving the pressure on the Chaldea people, I was actually more concerned about Nero and Gilgamesh.
It's not good for these two to stay cooped up in his personal space all the time.
He happened to have recently formed contracts with some Heroic Spirits, so he let them come out for a stroll.
Therefore, the main purpose of this banquet is to foster harmonious relationships among the Heroic Spirits and to facilitate friendships among them. The Chaldea staff are merely there as an afterthought.
Olga Marie was unaware of all this.
All she knew was that Maren had dealt with another potentially big problem for her, and she was deeply moved.
I felt that Maren was too good to her.
Despite doing so much, they never thought of asking for anything in return.
Olga Marie wanted to repay Marne for his kindness.
But after thinking about it, she realized that she didn't seem to have anything to give Marne. Chaldea was only able to function properly because of Marne.
'Isn't there anything else I can give him?'
Olga Marie was thinking this with distress when another problem arose on stage.
Princess Mary sang a few more songs amidst the enthusiastic applause of the crowd, before leaving the stage somewhat embarrassed.
She originally sang because she saw the repression in the hearts of the Chaldea people and decided to relieve it for them.
But now that she's sung a few songs, she's felt much better, and she's getting a little shy about singing any more.
Well, actually, if it were just the Chaldea staff watching, she wouldn't be shy. She's been through this kind of situation, or even bigger ones, many times before.
The reason she was shy this time was mainly because a group of heroic spirits were watching, including her idol, Joan of Arc, and...
Princess Mary looked at Marne, who was applauding her, and lowered her head with a mixture of joy and shyness. She thought about going to talk to Marne, but then she remembered that so many people were watching, so she quietly returned to her seat.
Marne had no idea what Princess Mary was thinking. Now, seeing Nero and Elizabeth taking the opportunity to go on stage, his expression changed.
What the hell!
Are these two ultimate weapons teaming up to cause trouble?!
The Lion King and Gilgamesh also noticed this. Although they didn't know Elizabeth's background, they were deeply impressed by Nero's 'terror'.
The two men's expressions changed drastically instantly, as if facing a formidable enemy.
The mother, Shining, made a quick getaway, and the Lion King forgot all about eating.
But King Arthur, who never wasted food, quickly packed some food and then grabbed a bewildered Jeanne Alter, and they fled for their lives.
Black Hairless: "..."
Black Hair stared blankly at the Lion King's actions, wondering what was wrong with him all of a sudden.
However, her strong innate intuition told her that it was best to keep up with the other person.
So she hesitated for a moment, packed some food, and then chased after them.
"What's wrong with them?"
The others noticed their actions, and Olga Marie looked at Marne with some confusion.
"You'd better run away with us. If you're not afraid of your lives, you can stay and try."
After giving this reminder, Ma En immediately got up and rushed to the equipment next to the stage.
He had to turn off the live broadcast, otherwise the entire Chaldea would be doomed.
Seeing that Marne looked like he was facing a formidable enemy and didn't seem to be joking, Olga Marie, along with Reines and Da Vinci who happened to be nearby, hesitated for a moment before quickly getting up and leaving the venue.
At this moment, Nero and Elizabeth also stepped onto the stage.
"Thank you, Miss Mary, for your wonderful performance. Now, Elizabeth and I will also sing a song. Pay attention and listen to my heavenly voice, which is no less than that of the God of Art."
Unaware of the truth, the crowd was immediately drawn in by Nero's boasting and began to look forward to it.
However, some people also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Gudako looked at Mashu with a blank expression: "Does Her Majesty Nero have this ability? Why is there no record of it in history?"
"It seems there are indeed some rumors that His Majesty Nero was once obsessed with art, but due to his headaches, his works were difficult for people to appreciate..."
As Mashu explained things, she finally realized that something was wrong.
Then, recalling the hurried expressions of the Lion King and his companions who were the first to leave their seats, his expression immediately changed.
However, now everyone realizes that it's all too late.
Nero on stage took a deep breath and began her performance.
One of the ultimate weapons in the Type-Moon universe, today, it shines in Chaldea!
A terrifying, agonizing sound, as if it came from hell, suddenly filled the ears of everyone present, causing them to immediately cover their ears and scream in agony, some even collapsing to the ground.
Mozart, who was responsible for the accompaniment, had his hands pulled away and his ears covered, causing the accompaniment to stop.
But the absence of accompaniment did not affect Nero's performance; she was already in the zone, singing with complete absorption.
For a moment, the only people left standing at the scene, besides Nero himself, were Elizabeth and Marne, who at the last moment cut off the live broadcast and prevented the entire Chaldea from turning into hell.
Is Chapter 311 over? No! There's still one more! The two ultimate torture weapons, the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick.
Marne had just breathed a sigh of relief when he turned around and saw the horrific scene, and his eyes twitched a few times.
It is foreseeable that in the future, whenever Nero attends a banquet, these people will have to think twice about whether they want to join in the fun.
However, seeing that Jeanne d'Arc, Princess Mary, Kiyohime, as well as girls like Mashu, Gudako, and Hinako Akuta also suffered, Ma En couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them.
He quickly went over and temporarily took them to their personal spaces for refuge.
Ma En's actions caught the attention of the others, who quickly struggled to crawl over.
"Hiss~ Marn! Help me! I'm dying!"
Despite his severe headache, Roman called out to Marne for help.
"Please save me too! I need to get away from this damned sound!"
Weber's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was extremely ferocious from the torment.
Upon hearing Weber's words, Maren, who had been somewhat hesitant, immediately changed his expression.
"What? Don't you like my Nero's singing?"
Although that's true, Nero is his wife!
Protecting his wife is Ma Enyi's duty!
Upon hearing this, Mozart, who had just climbed over, widened his eyes in shock: "Look at the horrific scene around us! Do you think they would have reacted like this if it were pleasant to listen to? This is nothing short of hellish music!"
To the surprise of Weber, Roman, and Mozart, Marx and Engels shamelessly nodded.
"Yes, I think it sounds great. See, I'm fine."
"You!" X3
The three were surprised that Mar and Eng were so shameless, turning black into white.
But they quickly forgot about whether it sounded good or bad, their unbearable headaches prompting them to beg for mercy.
"It sounds nice! Okay? We'll just go in and take a look around your space, please!"
"If you let me in, I'll grant you any request!"
"Two of me!"
Despite the three people's pleas for help, Ma En shook his head indifferently: "Sorry, men are not welcome in my space."
With that, Ma En walked away and went to the front of the stage to cheer for Nero.
Roman: "Bastard! You're heartless when it comes to the opposite sex!"
Weber: "Traitor! He'll get hacked to death sooner or later!"
Mozart: "You lecher! You'll tell Mary about you!"
The three of them angrily cursed, trying to relieve their headaches with anger, but it was no use. In the blink of an eye, the pain became so bad that they could no longer curse.
But to their relief, who were unaware of Elizabeth's background, it was a chorus, and Nero sang a bit before stopping.
However, before they could even catch their breath and get up to escape, Elizabeth spoke up as well.
A 'song' that was somewhat different from Nero's, yet equally agonizing, rang out, causing them to cover their ears and writhe on the ground once more.
Another ultimate weapon has also unleashed its power.
"How can there be another one!?"
"My God! How can there be two of these?!"
"Why did we run into this pair of brilliant strategists together?! What did we do wrong?!"
"Help!!!"
