This must be the other version of herself.
Although Red Nero still found this somewhat strange, he did not object.
For her, as long as it was beneficial to Rome and would not harm Rome, she would cooperate.
Nero didn't keep her in suspense any longer. Seeing that Marne didn't stop her, she said, "Actually, the musician has been to the Root and knows a lot about the future. We joined Chaldea to achieve a certain goal, so we're just hitching a ride."
Nero's statement was half true and half false.
However, this was also because he had learned about the future from the root cause, which was also an excuse Mar and Engels used to explain to their wives why he knew so much.
.... .. ..
"..."
Red Nero pondered for a moment, digesting the information in those words, before looking strangely at the four people present.
"So, you're saying that you allowed this incident of the burning of humanity to happen?"
After processing this information, Red Nero came to this conclusion.
After all, since Marne knew the future, he actually had a way to stop Rafe from blowing up Chaldea.
However, the fact is that Rafe successfully detonated the explosives, and Marne did not stop him.
Therefore, the strange events that occurred in Rome, where she lived, were also orchestrated by Marx and Engels!?
Just as Red Nero's expression began to turn complicated, Maren quickly explained, "Things can't be counted that way; the order is wrong."
Then, Marne explained how the real Solomon wished to become human, transforming into Romani Archaman, and how Marisbury obtained funds, allowing Chaldea to fully operate. He also explained the cause of the burning of these people's reason.
"In other words, the burning of humanity was inevitable from that time onward. Even if I had stopped Rafe, things would not have changed. Instead, they would have turned out differently than I had envisioned."
"Whether it was for my purpose or for the successful restoration of human reason, this was an unknown variable that caused a lot of trouble, so my best choice at the time was to follow this 'future'."
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Red Nero: "..."
Nine.
Chapter 335 Red Nero: Defying the Ancestors' Decision!?
Red Nero nodded slowly, having roughly understood Marne's intentions.
"In other words, the future is not static. When you know the future, it is already changing. Human beings can burn things down, which is a man-made event, so it is bound to happen, right?"
Marne nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, it has nothing to do with whether or not Rafe can blow up Chaldea, but rather it was orchestrated by the fake Solomon behind it."
“Even without Leif, he still has other subordinates. If they can’t blow up Chaldea, they have other means to severely damage the resistance to the burning of Chaldea’s humanity.”
"And these are all futures I don't know, which are undoubtedly more difficult to guard against."
"That's why I let Rafe do it, but I secretly interfered with the outcome. For example, I protected Hinako, one of the two Masters just now."
"The original Chaldea, in that attack '533,' would have only had Ritsuka as the only new Master who knew nothing, and the facilities would have been severely damaged. But now, with my help, all of that has been restored."
By shifting the focus of the conflict and using well-intentioned words, Red Nero's doubts were successfully dispelled, and he also gained a lot of goodwill.
She nodded and said, "In that case, you must have had a lot of trouble."
Red Nero also agreed with Marx and Engels' approach.
It is better to block than to open up.
Rather than stopping Rafe, which would allow the enemy to completely overhaul their plans and cause them to lose their intelligence advantage, it would be better to stop them from doing so.
It would be better to go with the flow and, while ensuring the enemy's plans remain unchanged, proactively and gradually defuse the situation.
This will better ensure the success of the restoration.
After all, the burning of the human-made object was inevitable, and the general trend could not be stopped, so we could only deal with it properly.
Upon seeing this, Ma En smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, it's what I should do as a human being. But please keep this a secret for us, the fewer people who know about this, the better."
Red Nero curled her lip speechlessly: "If you're going to keep it a secret, then why did you tell me in the first place?"
Ma En smiled and said, "Although the whole truth cannot be revealed yet, some information can be released when the time is right, but this will require your cooperation."
"I see." Nero nodded, recalling the enemy intelligence Marne had mentioned earlier. "I will keep it a secret. What about the intelligence that the time is ripe?"
Without further ado, Marne began to relay information about the enemy's Servants to Nero: "First, there's the strategist I mentioned before, Zhuge Liang, he..."
As they were talking, the black-haired man standing to the side had a strange expression on his face.
This was the first time she had ever heard of these things.
Looking at the calm and collected Jeanne Alter beside her, she realized that the other party had known all along as well.
So, is she the only one in her own camp who doesn't know this?!
"Don't overthink it. You're one of us now." Zhen noticed her strange expression and patted the black-haired girl on the shoulder.
"Mm." Wu Mao nodded.
The secret was revealed, but she wasn't asked to hide it, which clearly showed that they considered her one of their own.
"Let's keep this to ourselves and not tell anyone else," Zhen advised.
"I will, but who should I be careful of?"
Black Hair agreed without hesitation.
She responded to Marx's call in order to restore humanity, and as long as it did not go against this purpose, she naturally had no objections.
Exactly, she doesn't even know who her "own people" are.
"Besides those of us here and Gilgamesh who just left, only Lia and Marie know. The others aren't really on our side yet, so be careful when you're with them."
"I see, I understand." Wu Mao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
She wasn't very familiar with the rest of the people, and there wasn't really anything she needed to pay attention to.
However, what she didn't notice was that among these "one of our own," apart from one of them, Niang Shanshan, the others all had some connection with Ma En.
I don't know what this "one of us" will represent.
Seeing that Black Jeanne was no longer paying attention to this, she couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile.
Black Hair didn't notice, but how could she, someone with experience, not know what was going on?
Just imagining the expression on Black Jeanne's face when she finally realizes what's happening makes her want to laugh.
However, she quickly held back, not letting Hei Wumao notice anything amiss.
Meanwhile, Ma En had already given almost all the information about the enemy.
When the enemy leader was Romulus, the founding emperor of Rome, Nero was instantly stunned.
"Who do you say you are?! The Divine Ancestor?!"
She gasped in surprise, her face turning deathly pale.
It's no wonder she reacted so strongly.
Others may not know this, but as a Roman emperor, she knew far more about Romulus, the first emperor of Rome, than most.
That's a superhuman with divine blood!
In modern legend terms, he is a demigod! A being that defies all reason!
It's something that can't be dealt with by conventional methods or by ordinary people.
To give a simple example, Gilgamesh is a demigod, and so is Hercules.
Even as Heroic Spirits, these guys are still incredibly powerful.
Marne also knew that the normal version of Romulus was a Grand Lancer! He had an incredibly powerful Anti-Star Noble Phantasm!
However, Romulus in this singularity is merely a more powerful Heroic Spirit, and is not a Grand Servant.
“It is indeed Romulus, but don’t worry, he’s not the normal Romulus; his abilities are somewhat weakened. We can still handle him,” En reassured Red Nero.
"I hope so," Nero replied, then dejectedly rubbed his forehead and shook his head.
Although the illness has not recurred, she still feels a headache.
The opponent was none other than the founding emperor of Rome, who led successive emperors to conquer the Rome she ruled.
It is entirely foreseeable that once this news is released, she will no longer need to fight, as a large number of people will surrender on the spot.
Firstly, the people didn't care who ruled Rome, since they were all "one of their own".
Secondly, she is now going against the decision of her ancestors!
Whether she wins or loses this round, as long as she's involved, she'll definitely be blamed for everything.
Marne also saw Nero's worries and comforted him, saying, "Don't care too much about what others think. This era belongs to you. Rome in this era only needs you as its emperor, and can only have you as its emperor."
"You are the choice of this era, the destiny you are destined for, and this is an unchangeable fact."
Red Nero was taken aback upon hearing this.
He looked up at Mar and Engels, and then smiled.
"Yes, this era of Yu, let those old guys go to hell!"
Chapter 336 Gudako: A demon!? A Night with Two Neros
Seeing that Nero had regained his spirits, Marne couldn't help but smile with relief.
He then added, "Of course, the biggest enemy this time is not Romulus, but the mastermind behind him, Rafe Lenore, or rather, the demon god Floros, who is also here."
“A demon god,” Nero murmured, then asked, “Is it difficult to deal with?”
Ma En shook his head: "No, the difficult thing is not it, but its backup plan."
Red Nero raised an eyebrow: "What did you see?"
Marne said with a slight pause, "It is ready. After Romulus's defeat, it will summon Attila, the destroyer of civilization that once ravaged the land of Europe."
Attila, or rather Attila, will be the strongest enemy he has ever encountered (in full-force combat).
The opponent's Noble Phantasm is very special, related to the Wandering Star Vanguard, who are extraterrestrial beings sent to Earth to destroy Earth's civilization. Therefore, Maren has to deal with it carefully.
After all, who knows if someone else's Noble Phantasm has any special characteristics, such as being affected by civilizations, or that any entity within a civilization would suffer double the damage.
