“Ah~!”
After a mournful cry, Medusa vanished in a flash of golden light.
"Good teamwork, well done, young man."
The dog came over and gave Ma En a thumbs up.
To be fair, Ma and En coordinated really well just now. They knew when to advance and retreat, leaving him room to provide support, and quickly stepped in after he unleashed his attack, which made this wave of attacks so easy.
"You're not bad either." En chuckled and shrugged, then asked, "By the way, you should know what happened here, right, Dog?"
"I know, but could you please stop calling me 'dog'? It's a bit impolite."
"So are you Cú Chulainn? Doesn't Cú Chulainn mean 'dog'?"
As Marne said this, Cú Chulainn was completely stumped, as his name actually had that meaning.
"Fine, do whatever you want."
There was no point in saying anything, so he simply gave up trying to explain.
"Marx and Engels!"
Olga Marie, Gudako, and Mashu walked over.
Mashu took the lead, came to Marne's side, and reached out to touch him.
"How are you? Are you hurt?"
"Oh, Dad's fine, not a hair on his head. Thank you for your concern, daughter."
Ma En replied with a smile, and then reached out to rub the little eggplant's head.
This girl is becoming more and more accepting of him; she's so protective of him now, and the first thing she does is come up to him to check if he's hurt.
Gudako also came over and said excitedly, "Boss, he was so strong just now, especially when he suddenly appeared behind Medusa, it was so cool."
"Haha, right! Humph, that guy dared to bully my daughter, how could I let him get away with it?"
"Of course not! Mashu is so cute, how can you bully our Mashu?"
Gudako agreed while secretly changing the wording to include Mashu as well.
Maren understood, but didn't mind. Instead, he patted Gudako on the shoulder with satisfaction, offering affirmation and encouragement: "That's right, that's exactly it."
Gudako immediately beamed with joy.
Yes, Father-in-law will definitely get it!
Olga Marie also came over and looked at Marne with a quiet gaze.
"It seems you're still hiding a lot from us. Let's talk about it properly later."
Marne shrugged and said nothing, which was taken as agreement.
"Wow, so energetic, that's great!"
Cú Chulainn, standing to the side, looked at the group and sighed, making his presence known.
The three girls, unaware of the situation, suddenly became nervous upon discovering that there was another outsider present, who was also a Servant.
Mashu even raised her large shield again, standing between the two people, watching the blue man warily.
Before Cú Chulainn could say anything, Marne spoke up for him: "Well, you guys don't need to be so nervous. This guy is different from Medusa from before. He doesn't mean any harm, right, Dog?"
Cú Chulainn nodded: "Yes, I am different from that kind of Servant with a twisted will. Apart from the fact that I can act without a Master, I am normal."
"By the way, my name is Cú Chulainn. Little girls, please don't call me 'Dog' like this guy does."
"Cú Chulainn? That great hero from Celtic mythology, a demigod? The Son of Light of Ellan?"
Upon hearing this, Olga Marie immediately understood the other person's identity.
Cú Chulainn said smugly, "That's right, it's me. How about it? Handsome, right? You can worship me if you want."
"No matter how handsome you are in legends, it can't change the fact that you're a dog," En said quietly.
"Hey! Can't you give me any face?"
Ma En ignored his rebuttal and said to the three girls, "You guys be careful, this guy is rumored to be promiscuous and a lecherous old man."
"Huh?!" X3
The three girls were slightly taken aback, but then they realized what was happening and looked warily at the big dog opposite them, taking a step back one by one.
Cú Chulainn's face darkened, and he curled his lip, saying, "Tch! Don't expose me, my friend. It seems being too famous isn't always a good thing."
"Aren't you even going to try to defend yourself?" Dazi muttered speechlessly.
Cú Chulainn shrugged indifferently and said, "We've just met. Do you think you'd believe me if I told you? Obviously not. So what am I supposed to say?"
Indeed, compared to Cú Chulainn, whom they met for the first time, not to mention Marx and Engels, who were more credible, the legends were there for all to see. Whatever Cú Chulainn said might not be effective, and others were unlikely to believe his one-sided account.
Ma En didn't continue to harass the dog and changed the subject.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's find a place to contact Chaldea, deal with things there, and also get some information from Dog."
"Yeah." X3
The three girls agreed, and Cú Chulainn had no objections.
After all, he had already planned to cooperate with the four of them from the moment he met them, so he was naturally cooperating now; otherwise, there would be no point in talking about cooperation.
The two traveled together and found a relatively intact building where they settled down temporarily.
Olga Marie then immediately contacted Chaldea to let them know she was safe and sound, and then made some arrangements there.
For example, the emergency repairs to Chaldea, and the replacement of the injured and deceased in this incident, are all efforts to restore Chaldea's operation as soon as possible.
Chapter 222 Roman, who is routinely disliked, reveals his true identity.
After that, she sought out Cú Chulainn and prepared to begin learning about the situation from him.
Cú Chulainn looked at the communication projection in front of him and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Not bad magic, quite convenient."
Upon seeing the other person in the projection, Roman placed his right hand in front of his chest and bowed.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Cú Chulainn, we are..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Cú Chulainn interrupted him.
He said bluntly, "No need for such opening remarks. Just say what you need to say. You're good at this kind of thing, aren't you, you coward?"
Roman's face darkened, and he forced a bitter smile: "Coward..."
Ma En glanced sideways, finding it somewhat amusing.
This guy who ran away is really the kind of person the Heroic Spirits dislike every day.
After the little farce, Roman also began to ask questions seriously.
Cú Chulainn didn't waste any words and told everyone he knew.
Basically, the Holy Grail War here took an unexpected turn. Saber was the first to turn evil, defeating all the Servants except for him, and turning them into her subordinates.
During this time, he also dealt with Rider and Assassin. Including Medusa and Lancer from earlier, the remaining enemies are Saber, Archer, and Berserker.
Berserker even disobeyed Saber's commands, meaning that only two enemies remained.
However, the key point is that these two enemies are the most difficult to deal with.
Therefore, after meeting the four, Cú Chulainn wanted to cooperate with them.
"By the way, when that bastard Archer attacked those two little girls, it was I who chased him away."
Finally, Cú Chulainn didn't forget to do someone a favor.
"Indeed, someone attacked the enemy, which forced them to retreat."
Mash nodded, confirming Cú Chulainn's words.
"So, why do you want to resolve this anomaly?"
Olga Marie asked a crucial question that would determine whether they could trust him.
Cú Chulainn shrugged: "Well, it's just that I'm annoyed. This twisted Holy Grail War annoys me, so I want to end it, that's all."
This reason made Olga Marie and Roman exchange bewildered glances, and finally both looked at Marne.
"Well, having an ally is certainly a good thing, and the cause of this singularity is very likely due to the anomaly in this Holy Grail War. I have experience with this."
Olga Marie frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"What do you mean? What do you mean you have experience?"
"Literally, I've been through something like this once."
"How can this be!"
Before Olga Marie could say anything, Roman on the other end of the communication line retorted, "If such a thing had happened, Chaldea should have been able to detect it. But the fact is, this singularity F is the first singularity we have observed."
Ma En shrugged and said, "I didn't say it was something that happened in this world. It's not in this world, so it's normal that Chaldea can't observe it."
"Wait, what does 'not this world' mean?"
Olga Marie rubbed her forehead, looking somewhat exasperated. The sheer volume of information from Marne's successive self-destructions was overwhelming, and she couldn't process it all at once.
The others, too, looked at Ma En with puzzled expressions.
"I can explain that."
A voice came from the other end of the communication line, and Roman turned around and asked, "Lord El-Melloi II, do you know him?"
"Yes, Maren comes from a parallel world."
Weber's figure squeezed past Roman and appeared in the communications projection.
"It was precisely because of Marne's arrival that we brought news of the singularity, which is why we came to Chaldea to investigate. It was also Marne's suggestion."
"He claims to have experienced a Holy Grail War that was transformed into a singularity. Although I can't be completely sure about this, it's true that he comes from a parallel world. We didn't have any information about him before."
With Weber's explanation, everyone finally understood what was going on, and their gazes toward Marne became somewhat strange.
There was curiosity, confusion, and disbelief.
Olga Marie, in particular, naturally understood what the ability to travel through time and space meant.
