"Roman, are you still not done over there? If this keeps up, we're going to be buried."
Ma and En erected a barrier and urged the person on the other end of the communication channel.
"Alright, alright, ten seconds countdown! Hurry up, everyone."
Upon receiving this response, the four quickly grabbed each other tightly.
Ten
nine
……
two
One!
A flash of light, and the four of them, along with Fufu, disappeared from the now deserted singularity.
Then, the four of them felt a blur before their eyes and returned to the somewhat dilapidated but now cleared-away spirit transfer room in Chaldea.
Marne glanced at Olga Marie in her chibi doll form and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had returned safely.
Upon seeing the four return to the control room above, the staff breathed a sigh of relief.
Current executives such as Roman, Da Vinci, Weber, and Reines all came over to welcome the 'hero's' return.
"Welcome back, thank you for your hard work."
Back in Garuda, Mashu and Gudako immediately relaxed.
Gudako, in particular, was the weakest of the group. She was basically forced into it and barely managed to keep up the whole way. She was in a state of high tension the entire time and didn't even dare to relax too much during breaks. It was really tough on her.
Then, the two of them were taken away by Leonardo da Vinci.
They went to do some tests. Mashu's experience and tests were after fusing with her Spirit Origin, while Gudako's experience was after her first Spirit Particle Transfer.
As for Marne and Olga Marie, they certainly need them too, but now is not the time.
Olga Marie goes without saying; Chaldea still has many things that require her attention.
Marne was just going along with it; after all, Chaldea didn't have many high-ranking officials left, and as a consultant with a sinecure, he now had to take on more work.
However, Mar and Eng chose a relatively easy job.
That is, to repair Chaldea, which was destroyed by the explosion.
Repairing directly using illusionary construction was incredibly easy for him; he finished in less than half a day, and Chaldea was completely restored to its state before the explosion.
With this benefit in mind, Marx and Engel took on the restoration work alone, allowing Chaldea to focus on other issues.
Not long after the repairs were completed on Marne's side, the post-disaster recovery efforts in Chaldea were basically finished.
Just like in the original story, they have lost contact with the outside world, which likely means that the outside world has already collapsed.
Aside from the large number of deaths among staff and even management, Chaldea's operations were otherwise largely unaffected.
After all, Chaldea, as an institution that safeguards human rights, has long considered all possibilities, and many of its facilities are automated.
Therefore, the impact of having fewer people, apart from a slight decrease in work efficiency, is not too significant.
As for the issue of supplies, this was also resolved by Marx and Engels.
It was only then that everyone learned that Ma En's other magic was a generative one, capable of creating all sorts of things out of thin air.
This is undoubtedly encouraging news; at least for now, Chaldea has a guarantee for long-term operation.
This situation is infinitely better than the original story.
Chapter 238 Olga Marie's Selfish Motives, Marne: Bench? No way!
In the game, Chaldea is always short of resources and has almost no supplies.
We've prepared plenty of daily necessities, enough to last us one or two years.
However, other expenses, such as the costs of routine maintenance of facilities, are beyond our control.
Otherwise, Chaldea would also need to frequently farm various materials in singularities, not only for the strengthening of Servants, but also to maintain the normal operation of Chaldea.
Now, with the addition of Marne, who has unlimited resources, Chaldea no longer has any worries in this regard.
but.
The current situation remains far from optimistic.
In the Chaldea conference room, a group of high-ranking officials—Olga Marie, Marne, Roman, Da Vinci, and Waver and Reines, who had been given new positions—gathered for a post-disaster debriefing meeting.
After summarizing, the next step was to discuss the future of Chaldea.
There are still seven singularities waiting for Chaldea to repair, each of which is a challenge, so we naturally need to carefully consider them before making a decision.
"The only remaining candidates for Master are Ritsuka and Hinako Akuta. These two will be our last hope."
At the head of the table, a tiny, three-headed, adorable little Olga Marie, pretending to be serious but even more endearing, asked, "What are your thoughts on the arrangements for these two people?"
The current situation is that there are seven singularities, but only two Masters are capable of spirit particle transfer. Chaldea cannot afford to be careless in Chapter 453.
"How do I see it? I'll use both eyes. Isn't repairing singularities something you can do with your hands?"
Ma En shrugged, saying nonchalantly.
"Well, let's forget about Marx and Engels' opinions. What about you guys?"
Olga Marie was too lazy to bother with this arrogant big shot, since for Marne, it was probably as simple as having hands to do it, so she turned her attention to the others.
Weber frowned and said, "Why not include Marx and Engels in the calculation?"
Chaldea does indeed only have two Masters right now, but that's just a title; there are more than just these two who can perform spirit particle transfer.
For example, Marx and Engels.
Although Weber didn't trust Marn much at first, he has changed his mind now, and as things stand, Marn is undoubtedly the best candidate to repair the singularity.
The others nodded in agreement.
“No.” Elgamari frowned as well.
“Marn is indeed very strong, but we can’t entrust everything to him. I prefer to let him take the lead.”
She also admitted that Marne was indeed very strong and the most suitable person for this mission.
However, in her view, Marne should be kept as a last resort, and it's best not to let Marne take risks easily.
It is precisely because Marx and Engels are so suitable that they need to be carefully protected and should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
"Furthermore, Chaldea's operation currently relies mainly on Marne's magic, so Marne cannot go out for the time being."
“At least until Chaldea’s supplies are complete and no longer need to be replenished, Marne cannot leave.”
Olga Marie spoke, and everyone fell silent.
Since that is indeed the current situation, Chaldea cannot do without Mar and En's help for the time being, and it is indeed more prudent not to let Mar and En take the lead.
"No? Did you even ask for my opinion?"
Upon seeing this, Marx and Engels stood up.
“I disagree with this decision. At the very least, I won’t let Mashu be the vanguard. It’s too dangerous. I’d rather go myself.”
That's one reason, but more importantly, he can't stay in the rear forever.
After all, his goal was to cause trouble at the Seventh Singularity.
If he stays in the rear, how can he go?
Although he has a chance to play, this is the only thing that can be guaranteed.
Moreover, if he doesn't get there immediately, he might not be able to do what he wants to do, or he might miss the opportunity.
“It’s precisely because it’s dangerous that we can’t let you go,” Elgamari retorted, getting straight to the point.
Maren shook his head and continued to argue, "No, it would be safest for me to go. Let me just say this: none of you here understand Heroic Spirits better than I do."
Everyone agrees on this point.
Even Roman had to admit that Marx and Engels certainly knew the most in this regard.
"Therefore, if I am on the scene, I can better deal with various events, react immediately, and explain immediately. That is the best approach."
"On the contrary, if I don't go and let them take the lead, it might disrupt the original situation and make things more complicated."
"In that case, it will be even more difficult for me to clean up the mess later."
“Therefore,” En paused slightly before continuing, “my opinion is that I should take them there.”
"Although this is very risky, it is better to divide the forces."
"You have to understand that we are in an extremely difficult situation right now, and there is not much room for us to make mistakes. The best thing to do is to concentrate all our efforts and do our best to resolve this once and for all."
"That's my opinion. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
After speaking, Mar and Eng began to look around at everyone's expressions.
Everyone looked thoughtful.
They also had to admit that Marx and Engels made a lot of sense.
Chaldea is already in a difficult situation, and with such a small force, how can they afford to hold back their trump cards?
Moreover, Marne's abilities are not well-suited for providing support from the rear, as the reaction time would be too slow and could potentially lead to missed opportunities. Chaldea cannot afford such mistakes in the present era.
Therefore, it would be the best choice for Marx and Engels to go as well, or rather, for everyone to go together.
“I agree,” Nyss was the first to speak.
Weber echoed, "Agreed."
Roman and Leonardo da Vinci exchanged a glance and nodded.
"Agreed." X2
Finally, everyone's attention fell on Olga Marie.
Seeing this, Olga Marie could say nothing; the minority had to submit to the majority, and Marx and Engels' analysis was also reasonable.
She actually understood this from the beginning, but she said it that way mainly out of selfish motives.
