Pochi-chan, I used to be a princess.

[Mashu screamed: "Your Majesty Nero!"]

Nero placed his left hand on his waist and raised his right hand: "Just keep it like this. Master, your opinion makes sense, but we are also battle-hardened Heroic Spirits. How about a quick duel to decide the order?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka shouted, "So we're going to kill each other?"

Nero said happily, "Then it's my turn. Leave it to me."

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but complain: "Is this the Nero I imagined? The tyrant Nero of Rome? Why is she a cute girl?!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka patted Hikigaya Hachiman's shoulder and laughed. "Isn't this interesting? In different world lines, even the genders of ancient celebrities can change."

Hikigaya Hachiman began to worry about himself. If he was also an ancient hero in his previous life, would his life be in danger?

Zaimokuza Yoshiteru, who had been hiding at the door, originally wanted to look for Hikigaya Hachiman, but couldn't help but think of this question when he saw the teacher in the room.

Yukinoshita Yukino said calmly, "The heroic spirits that Emperor Nero mentioned are what we should care about, right? There are two concepts of heroic spirits. One is from Norse mythology, where the great god Odin selects brave and skilled warriors who died on the battlefields of the mortal world and calls them heroic spirits. The other is a simpler concept, the souls of martyrs, the souls of revered people after their death."

Yuigahama Yui asked curiously, "What kind are they?"

Yukinoshita Yukino pondered and said, "It should be a combination of the two. The revered people are sublimated into heroic spirits in myths after death, but their master has changed from Odin to this Fujimaru Ritsuka."

Just like in the online world, a rather sci-fi scene appeared on the screen. The space transformed into a huge modern arena. The audience seats were filled with doll-like creatures. The men and women on the field were handsome and beautiful, with extraordinary temperaments.

【Cú Chulainn】【Jack the Ripper】【Okada Izo】【Young Joan of Arc】【Joan of Arc】【Eurielle】【Asterios】

The names given to each character surprised the audience.

"The famous demigod hero of Celtic mythology?!"

"A famous British killer? Why is he a little girl?"

"Hitsuhan Izo! One of the Four Great Hitmen of the late Bakumatsu?"

"The French saint? Why is there a big one and a small one?"

"Eurielie... this name seems a bit unfamiliar."

"She's the second daughter of the three Gorgon sisters, and she's also a famous monster. I didn't expect her to be so beautiful!"

"Isn't that Minotaur the Greek monster, the Minotaur? Why use such an unfamiliar name?"

"Speaking of which, I'm completely confused about the definition of a Heroic Spirit. Are these people considered Heroic Spirits?"

……

Tyrants, saints, demigod heroes, monsters, swordsmen, killers, knights, fictional characters, artists, all characters that had nothing to do with each other when they were alive gathered together harmoniously, and the audience was amazed.

[Heroic Spirits are beings that are transformed from heroes who gather faith after their death, but they do not actually exist. Heroes from myths and legends are also born through the gathering of faith. Their legends and deeds will become skills and Noble Phantasms. Even if they were ordinary people in life, they will possess powers beyond human power after becoming Heroic Spirits.]

"Just like Sakamoto's data back then? The wrathful waves are a Noble Phantasm, and the Fiona Knight's honor is a skill?"

After seeing the introduction on the screen, the audience suddenly understood.

“It’s spectacular!”

"What is the origin of this Chaldea? How can it have so many heroic spirits?"

"Not having enough resources is truly a happy worry!"

"To keep his salary from decreasing, he's even firing too many Heroic Spirits. How extravagant!"

"Don't give it to me! I want as much as you can get!"

……

With so many heroes and what is happening, it feels incredibly outrageous that some people would voluntarily give up these seemingly extraordinary heroes in order to avoid a pay cut?

Nero, dressed in sportswear, appears on the stadium's giant screen, hosting the match: "Thank you all for gathering here, renowned Heroic Spirits. When it comes to the triumph of warriors, it's the Olympics."

On the judges' panel, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked, "The Olympics? If history is normal, it would be around 2020, right?"

A simple sentence reveals extraordinary information.

Akiyama Mio said in surprise: "What if history is normal? Did someone change history?"

Yamanaka Sawako said, "Hasn't Xiao Mio been changing history?"

Akiyama Mio said in a low voice, "I haven't succeeded before. Changing history is something that Xiao Wei can only do after becoming a god, right?"

Nakano Azusa said in shock: "So, there was a god who changed history? Between 2018 and 2020?"

Kotobuki Tsumugi speculated, "This Chaldea organization summoned so many heroic spirits. Could it be that they were trying to defeat the gods who changed history?"

The Humanitarian Continuation Agency, Phoenix Chaldea, is a research institute and observatory that brings together researchers from various fields, from magic to science, to ensure the long and resilient continuation of human history. It is a joint agency established by various nations to prevent the extinction of humanity.

[At a time when humanity has become extinct, Chaldea is the last light of hope. Chaldea's staff of less than a hundred people are the last humans of the 21st century.]

The introduction of the Akashic Records shocked the audience.

So far, mankind has faced many crises that could lead to extinction, but this is the first time that it has been clearly stated that mankind has become extinct and there are less than a hundred people left.

"What happened last round usually happens again this round. Are humans in this world going to become extinct?!"

"Don't scare yourself. Witch Night was about to exterminate humanity, but the Magical Girl God appeared and defeated it. The Ōtsutsuki clan was about to exterminate humanity, but Shirogane Miyuki and Ishigami Yuu appeared and defeated them. The world has entered this cycle, which means the crisis must have been resolved, or there is a solution."

"By the way, even though humans are extinct, is Chaldea still so joyful?"

"Aren't people allowed to enjoy themselves? If the atmosphere remains oppressive, I'm afraid self-destruction won't be far away."

"The world presented by the Akashic Records this time is truly magnificent!"

"This is already a myth, right? It's like Homer, the Mahabharata, or the Ramayana."

"Isn't it grander than that? After all, it's about summoning heroic spirits from myth and history to fight the enemy. Perhaps Chaldea has already summoned heroes from those epics."

……

People's emotions gradually became excited. The famous heroes, led by modern people, fought to reclaim history. This was really exciting.

Chapter 193: Cu Chulainn Dies Again

[Cú Chulainn, carrying his spear, asked Nero: "Hey, daughter of the Roman emperor, why are you the master of ceremonies?"]

Nero folded his arms over his chest and said triumphantly, "Speaking of the Olympics, of course it's me. The flower of the Olympics, I!"

[After saying that, a girl ran out and threw flowers.]

Cu Chulainn said unhappily, "Hmph, you're just talking nonsense."

Young Cuchulainn laughed, "So, as long as you win the game, you won't be crushed into a small cube, right?"

Caster Cu Chulainn said calmly, "This simple battle is exactly what I want."

Nero nodded as if receiving some sort of notice. Then, a voice from the broadcast began: "The following is a notice from the management. Due to certain reasons, only Heroic Spirits with 4 stars or higher can participate this time. We sincerely apologize to everyone."

[The three Cu Chulainns were horrified: "Wait!"]

[Before he could finish his words, the floor beneath the three Cu Chulainnians opened up. After they fell to the floor, a light floated up and rose into the sky.]

[Mashu's face was filled with horror.]

[Cuzar Cuchulainn said calmly: "Humph, of course. Eliminating the weak first is the iron rule of battle."]

[As soon as he finished speaking, Kuchulainn's body gradually turned into golden particles.]

[Cú Chulainn panicked: "Wait, I'm a five-star!"]

Fujimaru Ritsuka points his finger sheepishly: "Well, Cu Chulainn has increased a bit too much."

“Wait! Wait!”

[Cú Chulainn made a funny, panicked expression, but before he could finish his words, he fell into the hole in the floor.]

Fujimaru Ritsuka was horrified: "Cuchulainn is dead!"

[Mashu hugs Fufu and shouts to Fujimaru Ritsuka, "How inhumane!"]

Behind Fujimaru Ritsuka, Akato said in a deep voice, "How harsh."

[Mashu's forehead was covered in sweat. "Um... Mr. Red Hare is also a 3-star, right..."]

[Red Hare said, "I am Lü Bu."]

Fujimaru Ritsuka threw himself on top of Red Hare and shouted in panic, "It has nothing to do with Red Hare, it's okay! Stop joking!"

[Red Hare, level 100.]

[Mashu mutters to herself: "Consumed resources."]

The audience stared at the screen in silence.

A thrilling epic? That's it? That's it?

For inexplicable reasons, four of the famous demigod hero Cu Chulainn died, and a three-star mount was fully trained. Does this mean that Red Hare is better than Cu Chulainn?

Obviously not, this is simply Fujimaru Ritsuka's weird hobby!

An organization that saves history, the last hope of mankind, isn't this too outrageous?

Yukinoshita Yukino calmly analyzed, "So it's possible to summon the same person from different time periods, and multiple times? It seems there are more than just these four Cu Chulainn in Chaldea."

Hikigaya Hachiman covered his forehead and said, "This is too joyful. Besides, is this Fujimaru Ritsuka the emperor of Chaldea? He can train whoever he wants and make whoever he wants disappear."

Shizuka Hiratsuka quipped, "Emperor of Chaldea? That's a very fitting description."

At the Hoshino family, Miyako Hoshino held her stomach in pain.

Himesaka Noai sighed like a little adult and patted Hoshino Hinata on the shoulder: "You're no different now that you've grown up. You do whatever you want, cheerful and direct."

Hoshino Hinata said with sparkling eyes: "I am so awesome, sir!"

Shirosaki Hana shook her head. "What a strange aesthetic! Why would you like a horse?"

Himesaka Noa looked at Shirasaki Hana hesitantly, "Your aesthetic taste is even weirder, okay?"

Hoshino Hinata tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Because it's majestic, I can ride it?"

Hoshino Miyako felt unable to refute: "The Red Hare, the Lü Bu among men and the Red Hare among horses, is indeed the most majestic."

【100m on land.】

Achilles called out to Atalanta, "Hey, big sister."

Atalanta asked in surprise, "Are you participating too?"

Achilles laughed heartily and said, "Of course, regardless of the reason, the opportunity to race against a big sister is rare."

Atalanta laughed and said, "Oh? Such remarkable confidence! You must be aware of my legend."

Achilles said: "Because of this, let's see who is the fastest Heroic Spirit. Let's see who wins."

Atalanta squatted down, ready to move. "Okay."

A question mark popped up in Yuigahama Yui's head: "Atalanta, what a difficult name to pronounce."

Yukinoshita Yukino said, "Atalanta is a female hunter skilled in running in ancient Greek mythology. She was a companion of Artemis, the goddess of the moon and the hunt, and swore to the goddess that she would never marry. It is said that she was also one of the Argonauts. She held a race and only the man who could beat her could marry her. However, no man could beat her at the time. Hippomenes asked the goddess of love Aphrodite for help and received three golden apples. When he threw the golden apples during the race, it would lure Atalanta to pick them up, and she lost to Hippomenes."

Yuigahama Yui suddenly realized and said, "Oh, yes, I've heard this story before, but Atalanta was actually an orc?"

Hikigaya Hachiman said, "This is probably related to her legend. Hippomenes forgot to thank Aphrodite, so in anger she lured Hippomenes and his wife to the Temple of Cybele or Zeus for sexual intercourse, angering the gods. As punishment, they turned her into a lion, which is why she has these ears."

Yuigahama Yui blushed: "Is it because of this reason? This is ridiculous."

After Hikigaya Hachiman explained the reason, Yukinoshita Yukino continued, "As for Achilles, Achilles is a famous sprinter. I also want to know who is faster, him or Atalanta."

Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled and said, "I understand, I understand. This is the charm of Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong."

[The signal gun sounds, and the confident contestants begin to move.]

[At this moment, a figure several hundred meters tall took a step forward. This step covered a distance of one hundred meters, directly reaching the finish line.]

Nero shouts, "We've reached the end! The end!"

[Achilles and Atalanta were stunned.]

The audience was also dumbfounded.

Everyone was expecting the fastest man and woman in Greek mythology to compete in this race, but you came up with this? Are you kidding me!

Can you please be more serious? I'm just asking you guys, can you please be more serious? Is there any point in having a giant who can run hundreds of meters in a 100-meter race?

At this moment, many people realized that Chaldea did not seem to be a very serious organization.
