The agents nodded silently, their silenced pistols loaded, and the special rubber soles of their shoes ensured they made no sound as they moved.
Onigumo's eight mechanical arms blocked all possible escape routes.
He stood on the fountain statue at the main entrance of the concert hall, his spider web-like monitoring equipment giving him a panoramic view of the entire island.
"Strange..." He frowned, staring at the display, "It's too quiet." As a seasoned veteran, he instinctively sensed something amiss—besides Uta and that old man, there wasn't even a single guard on the island.
Kaido, high in the sky, still circled above the clouds, a playful glint in his massive dragon eyes.
Yamato, anxious, punched him on the head again: "You old man! It'll be too late if we don't go now!" She pointed at the Marines who had already breached the concert hall below, "Those bastards are about to catch Uta!"
Kaido's dragon whiskers flicked dismissively: "Foolish son, you underestimate that little girl."
His gaze penetrated the roof, locking onto the interior of the concert hall, "A character who almost annihilated half the fighting force in a novel, do you think she'd be so easily captured?"
As if to confirm Kaido's words, a strange humming sound suddenly emanated from within the concert hall.
A soldier's terrified scream suddenly came through Doberman's communicator: "Vice Admiral! These instruments... these instruments are playing themselves!"
This was followed by a burst of chaotic gunfire and screams.
Strowberry's special attack squad also encountered a bizarre situation; they clearly saw Uta on the center stage, but no matter how close they got, the distance never shortened.
"It's an illusion!"
No sooner had a certain CP0 agent shouted this than he was strangled by suddenly animated piano wire and hoisted to the ceiling.
Onigumo's monitoring screen suddenly turned to static, the last image showing all the Marine soldiers dancing a strange ballet like marionettes to non-existent music.
"Ugh giggle!" Kaido proudly flicked his dragon tail, "See? That little girl's ability is something even I have to be wary of!"
Yamato stared dumbfounded at the bizarre scene below; the concert hall's stained-glass windows suddenly shattered, and countless note-shaped purple energy bursts spewed out from the windows.
Just as the Marine Vice Admirals were about to succeed, Uta finally held nothing back. She stood on the dome of the concert hall, her red and white hair flowing without wind, her eyes gleaming with resolute coldness.
"Since you insist on taking my life..." Her voice was no longer sweet, but carried a chilling coldness, "Then don't blame me for being merciless."
As she raised her golden microphone, the ground of the entire Elegia Island suddenly lit up with strange purple patterns.
The ancient musical notes buried underground emerged from the earth like living things, interweaving in the air to form a giant musical staff.
The Marine soldiers watched in horror as their hands and feet began to move uncontrollably to a non-existent melody.
"Fire! Quick, fire!" Vice Admiral Doberman suppressed the strangeness in his body, six swords simultaneously pointing at Uta.
However, as the bullets approached Uta, they all strangely stopped in mid-air, as if blocked by an invisible sound wave wall.
Strowberry was about to order a retreat, but found his mouth uncontrollably singing a nursery rhyme.
Even more terrifyingly, the CP0 agents he brought with him, one by one, like marionettes, began to dance ballet in unison, completely losing their combat effectiveness.
