Yes, Marx and Engels were threatening the other party.
Although he wasn't very familiar with the plot, Ma En still learned some of it by learning about the characters.
For example, Stheno's perverse sense of humor.
In the original story, when the main characters asked her for information, she insisted that they retrieve some treasure from a cave.
Upon entering the cave, they found no treasure, but instead encountered a monster—a powerful chimera that attacked the main characters.
Only after the protagonist group painstakingly defeated the Chimera did Stheno reluctantly reveal the location of the enemy capital to them.
Marne had no intention of playing along with Stheno's perverse sense of humor, nor did he want to be made a fool of.
Therefore, Marx and Engels had no choice but to play the villain.
"..." Upon hearing this, Theno's eyes twitched a few times.
Seeing the group of heroic spirits who had surrounded her following Maren's words, her face immediately turned ugly.
However, she did not react, because she knew where Marne and the others came from.
She is not human, and knows far more about the changes in the world than ordinary Servants, so she naturally knows about the burning of humanity and Chaldea.
They also understood that Marx and Engels were not exaggerating; there was indeed a possibility that they would encounter Medusa or something similar later on.
Therefore, Stheno dared not gamble recklessly.
Stheno loved Medusa dearly, and since this weakness was being exploited to threaten her, she dared not act recklessly.
Not to mention, she was also threatened.
These surrounding heroic spirits, although they don't possess a divine core like her and their power is from a different dimension, don't necessarily have to be stronger than her.
But they just couldn't handle the sheer number of opponents!
There are more than ten heroic spirits here!
"you are vicious!"
Steno glared at Marne through gritted teeth.
She just couldn't understand how the other person knew what she was thinking.
She was just playing a prank on the other person out of momentary interest, but Ma En completely disregarded the script and immediately threatened the goddess. Is this how you 'seek help' from the gods?!
However, she was indeed threatened, and now she had no choice but to obediently hand over the information to the other party.
"The location of the capital of the United Empire is..."
After delivering the intelligence, Steno glared angrily at Marne: "You know what you wanted to know now, so get out of here and don't let me see you again! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Anyone would be angry to be threatened like that upon first meeting, and Stheno was naturally angry as well.
But Marne had no intention of letting Stheno off so easily, nor did he care about the other party's harsh words. Suddenly, he changed his expression like a Sichuan opera performer, revealing a sunny and gentle smile.
"Don't be so angry, I didn't mean any harm."
That face of his was exactly like that of a goldfish swindler trying to lure a little girl.
"What else do you want to do?"
Steno immediately took a step back warily, and at the same time regretted that he should have added a condition such as letting the other party leave immediately after obtaining the information.
Judging from Marx and Engels' current momentum, they might be plotting something wicked.
"I didn't mean anything by it, but how can you guarantee that the information you give us is true? What if you give us false information and trick us?"
Stheno's face darkened again, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "How could that be! I'm not that kind of untrustworthy goddess!"
This time she was really angry.
You can doubt her ability to play tricks, but you must never doubt her credibility!
Marne shrugged: "Who knows? How can you guarantee it?"
"..."
Seeing Marne's stubborn and irritating expression, Stheno wanted nothing more than to slap him.
But when Stéphane thought of Marne's previous threats, he held back.
"I'll go with you and show you the way, is that alright?"
"Okay, then 0.9 is fine. Let's make a contract so you don't run away halfway through."
Marne extended his hand to Stheno with an expression that said, "I'll give you a chance."
"Fine!" Theno's face was extremely ugly as he forced out the word and shook hands with Ma En.
Marne quickly made a contract with her, revealing a satisfied smile.
I've won over a goddess from the Gol Institute!
That's right.
Marne's subsequent behavior was all intentional.
The purpose, of course, was to pact Stheno.
Because he suddenly remembered that in the next singularity there was another Euryale, the second of the three sisters, and in the seventh singularity there were Anna and Gorgon.
He might be able to gather all three Gorgon sisters together!
Therefore, Stheno could not be let off so easily.
Chapter 351 Taking Stheno and Lev Away: They're a bunch of perverts!
As for whether Stheno would run away after leading the way?
Ma En said that once someone falls into his hands, there's no way he'd let her escape so easily.
When the time comes, tell her about Euryale in the Third Singularity, and she'll definitely stay.
Then, using Stheno as a fulcrum, it wouldn't be a problem to move the entire group of five Gorgon sisters.
Ok?
Where did the three Gorgon sisters come from, and where did these five people come from?
Stheno, Euryale, Medusa, Anna, and Gorgon—that's five!
It's common knowledge that there are five members among the Four Heavenly Kings, and it's also normal for the Three Sisters to have five members, isn't it?
Looking at Marne's satisfied expression, Steno immediately realized that he had been tricked.
But now that I'm regretting it, it seems like it's all too late.
She now realized that the way Maren made a contract with her was not as lenient as she had thought; at least she could not unilaterally break the contract.
Yes, the contract between Marne and her was the kind that directly led to the Holy Grail War.
Incidentally, Saber has also had her contract changed by Maru in the past two days, so she will no longer log in and will be restricted to the Chaldea Guardian Heroic Spirit system.
Now, it's too late for Stheno to regret it.
The contract in the Holy Grail War states that as long as Marne is alive and she is alive, she can only remain Marne's Servant forever.
"..."
Upon discovering this, Stheno fell silent and began to doubt the existence of the gods.
Not only her, but also Nero and Gudako were speechless.
This goddess seems a bit dim-witted; she just gave herself away for nothing.
At the same time, the way he looked at Ma En was somewhat strange.
I just feel like Marx and Engels were so skilled at abduction.
Marx and Engels were too lazy to explain anything.
"Alright, mission accomplished, let's go back."
"Hmm." XN
Afterwards, the group left the island with the newly joined (forced) Stheno.
The only thing that disappointed Maren was that he didn't see Tamamo Cat and the other Elizabeth this time. Otherwise, he would have liked to try to contract (capture) them all at the same time.
Long after Ma En and the others left, two figures emerged from the island's jungle.
One was a pink-haired fox spirit with animal ears and a tail, wearing animal claw gloves, which was exactly the Tamamo Cat that Ma En had in mind. The other was another Elizabeth, exactly the same as the Elizabeth on Ma En's side.
"Stheno has been captured, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? We'll just have to accept it. We can't beat them anyway, going up there would just be suicide missions. Let's just call it a day."
The two exchanged a brief opinion and then went their separate ways.
Marne was unaware of all this, and they returned to the capital, Rome, without any major problems.
I was just about to have Stheno lead the way tomorrow and attack the capital of the United Empire.
However, they needed to rest before that; after a long day of travel, everyone was a bit tired.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the United Empire...
Rafe appeared in front of Romulus.
"Caster and Rider are dead. Now it's just you, me, Lancer, and Berserker left."
"The enemy has brought many heroic spirits; we must do something, otherwise..."
Before Rafe could finish speaking, Romulus interrupted him.
"I (Rome) have ordered Lancer and Berserker to return, and they are on their way now."
“Not enough.” Fu shook his head and said seriously, “You haven’t fought him, so you have no idea how strong he is.”
"The power of those Servants is indeed formidable, but we should be even more wary of their contractors."
“A contractor?” Murus was slightly taken aback, then sneered, “He’s just a mere magician, nothing to worry about.”
It's not that he looks down on magicians, it's just that he looks down on such a future magician.
The future mysteriously vanished, and after the Age of Gods ended, the magician became incredibly weak, so how could he possibly be his match?
