The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

Emiya Kiritsugu's face was ashen as death, and he knelt completely on the floor of this special space that was not contaminated by the black mud.

"You harbor ideals, but lack the power to realize them. Instead of seeking ways to acquire power, you've given up on relying on your own hands to achieve them, relying instead on ethereal things. No wonder you were tricked into participating in this Holy Grail War by the Einzberns' words. Haha, let alone comparing yourself to a certain red-haired giant warrior, you're even worse than someone I know who's desperately trying to reach the root of the problem in exchange for the power to save the world."

"At least they insisted on their own path until the end... Haha, I've said too much and wasted a lot of time. I still have to go and plug this loophole." Wang Chong turned around. He had said almost everything he wanted to say. He had just deliberately dragged out the time to make sealing the Holy Grail seem extremely difficult.

"...Why are you telling me these things?" Emiya Kiritsugu's voice sounded somewhat weak, but Wang Chong did not turn around after hearing it. He continued to leave, leaving behind a sentence:

"Probably a mixture of dislike and pity. Dislike for you, and pity for Irisviel, such a good wife, and your daughter. They both deserved happiness, and you had the power to give them that happiness. But you chose not to. As I just said, a gambler destroyed a family."

"I admit I'm not a good person. I coveted your wife and used shameful means to obtain her. These are all facts. But at least one thing is certain: the happiness you can't give them, I will! In the end, the Ellie you saw transformed into the Holy Grail... was just an empty shell. I have already given the real Ellie a new body."

After saying this, Wang Chong disappeared from Emiya Kiritsugu's sight, leaving Emiya Kiritsugu alone. As the black mud surged along the tide, the endless malice eventually completely submerged the already distraught Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Have I been doing it wrong all along?" As his consciousness finally fell into darkness, Emiya Kiritsugu felt as if he were back on that beach. Perhaps, from that first wrong decision, he'd been making mistakes all along.

A wrong start, a wrong life, and finally a ridiculous and tragic ending.

Chapter 345: Preparing to Deal with Gilgamesh

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for killing the chosen one of this instance, Emiya Kiritsugu, and for causing his final heart to shatter, exceeding the target. Receive a base reward of 1000 Villain Points, and an additional 2000 Villain Points. Innate Time Control has evolved, adding a new effect: you can select the person you touch to gain a certain acceleration effect, and gain a force field to protect the target from physical obstacles."

"Your current villain points are: 13500."

"Emiya Kiritsugu died just like that? It seems that his ideals were completely shattered, and he learned that everything he did was actually an act of extermination of mankind. Under multiple pressures, he finally suffered a complete mental collapse under the infection of the black mud. His heart of Taoism was shattered... Emmm, why is this notification tone becoming more and more fantasy-like?" Not long after Wang Chong left, he received a message from the system.

Wang Chong still felt a pang of sadness over the death of Emiya Kiritsugu. To be honest, he had originally planned a scene, intending to have the hidden Hisau Maiya stab Gilgamesh in the outside world, or use the Lulubule card (a talisman that can break all laws) to stab Gilgamesh, and then let Gilgamesh kill Emiya Kiritsugu.

Now, Emiya Kiritsugu, these scenes have become easier. It's just a pity that he has a certain item he's kept for a long time, the Command Seal Erase Card. He hasn't used it once, and Wang Chong is even thinking about selling it.

"Okay, Black Aili, stop the black mud from overflowing outside. It's time to prepare to close the seal... By the way, how is Gilgamesh doing?" Wang Chong stretched his muscles and asked to the side.

"Haha~ That Archer has completely broken down and has been cursing... However, even so, it may be very difficult to pollute Gilgamesh in a short time." Black Alice appeared and said with a smile.

"Then there's no need to pollute it. Just throw him out and avoid destroying his armor. I don't need a Servant like him anyway. If only his treasure trove could be mine. Alas, what a pity."

Wang Chong said that he would definitely eliminate Gilgamesh himself. Without eliminating this final enemy, his main quest would not be completely completed. On the other hand, Wang Chong was somewhat coveting Gilgamesh's treasure trove. He was indeed very good at showing off, and it would be great even if he could distribute it to his future subordinates.

"Okay, then you can leave now, sir. Prepare to close the hole. Remember to make another body for me later." Hei Ai Li came forward and kissed Wang Chong on the cheek, then began to make some arrangements.

Wang Chong also smiled slightly. He naturally saw that Black Aili longed for the emotions of the outside world, but he didn't care about it. After all, the black mud here would all become his black mist power, and Black Aili had already completely taken on her own shape for her body, soul, and heart.

……

Returning to the outside world, Wang Chong saw the Servants still continuously releasing their Noble Phantasms' power, consuming the pool, and shouted, "That's enough, everyone."

Afterwards, Wang Chong landed in front of them, with his back to them. He raised his hand and began to condense a large amount of black mist, surrounding the hole. Then he saw the hole slowly closing and finally disappearing from everyone's sight.

"In this way, the impact of this Holy Grail War has been eliminated, and the Holy Grail War is almost coming to an end." Wang Chong said.

"Wait! Wang Chong, be careful!" Joan of Arc suddenly saw something, hurriedly reminded, and waved the flagpole to resist.

"Don't worry." Wang Chong shook his head, and his back seemed to have eyes. Without even looking, he stretched out his hand and grasped it. The Blade of the Ruined King was instantly grasped in his hand, and with a clang, he deflected the treasure that attacked him.

"Is there any need to be so anxious, Gilgamesh?" After saying that, Wang Chong turned around and saw Gilgamesh standing in the center of the earthen pond, having just emerged from the nearly closed hole.

"Why do you think that is, Faker?" Gilgamesh said coldly. "Just now, I was almost ready to curse that damned Holy Grail to death, but because of this fellow, I was forced to spit it out!"

Wang Chong curled his lips. This is what they call "suffering in vain for the sake of face." And did you win with that yelling? Why do I hear someone furious and incompetent?

Gilgamesh seemed to realize that Wang Chong had entered the Holy Grail, so he didn't argue with Wang Chong too much about this matter. Instead, he said, "Also, you can't touch Emiya Kiritsugu! I said that when this matter is over, I will tear Emiya Kiritsugu into pieces, let him die in agony from being pierced by thousands of swords! But now he is completely dead, and died so easily. Do I have to put this blame on you as well?"

"Gilgamesh, do you think you can defeat me?" Wang Chong said coldly.

"Oh, so what if you all come together? This time, I will catch you all in one fell swoop!"

At this moment, Gilgamesh unexpectedly pulled out the Sword of Separation from his back. Previously, in the Greater Holy Grail, Gilgamesh, in a fit of rage, had been attempting to use the Sword of Separation to destroy the entire black mud, but had been unable to do so due to the magical barrier. Now, upon returning to the real world, the previous instructions were instantly implemented, allowing Gilgamesh to directly retrieve the Sword of Separation from the royal treasure.

"Now that I have acquired a physical body, I must once again shoulder the responsibility of this world. You will be my first stepping stone!" Gilgamesh was seen holding the Sword of Separation, ready to release his Noble Phantasm.

Everyone became alert, even Jeanne had already opened her Noble Phantasm barrier and was ready to fight the enemy at any time.

"Hero King, how about we make a bet?" Wang Chong suddenly smiled and said.

"Huh? A bet? Damn Faker, I want to see what tricks you can play?" Gilgamesh sneered, but the release of the Noble Phantasm in his hand did not stop.

"It's very simple. How about I let the others disperse, and then I will face your Guaili Sword head-on? As for the bet, it's naturally my life. I bet that I won't die under your Guaili Sword. How about it?" Wang Chong spread his hands and said.

"Are you looking down on me?!" Gilgamesh said angrily.

"What? Can it be that the heroic king doesn't even have this little courage? Don't worry, there is no conspiracy or trickery, no schemes, it's just a fair fight. It's just you and me." Wang Chong said.

"Hmph, this is totally unlike you, Faker. What on earth do you want to do? Oh, I almost forgot. You seem to have some ability to escape with everyone. That's how you escaped my Sword of Separation attack last night." Gilgamesh snorted coldly and said.

"Don't worry, I'll take it head-on this time. I won't even try to dodge." Wang Chong raised his finger and pointed at Gilgamesh, saying, "I just want to make one fact clear: your abilities are nothing compared to mine! I will completely crush your pride, Gilgamesh!"

"Hahahahahaha." After hearing this, Gilgamesh actually laughed out loud and said, "Okay, that's pretty arrogant and gutsy. Then I'll trust you again."

Gilgamesh actually put away the Sword of Separation, crossed his arms, and said, "Choose a better place, or get all these people out of here."

"Let's go somewhere farther away. If the fighting gets too intense here and that Holy Grail thing comes out again, that's going to be bad," Wang Chong said, pointing in the direction of a certain jungle. Seeing this, Gilgamesh hurried away, and Wang Chong prepared to follow, but before he had taken a few steps, another hand grabbed him.

"Wang Chong-kun..." Zhendde was about to say something, but Wang Chong shook his head and said, "Don't worry. You should know that I never do anything without confidence."

Thinking of this, Jeanne could only sigh and release her grip. She could only stand there and watch Wang Chong step into the jungle, quietly awaiting the outcome of this battle. Black Jeanne approached, hands on her hips, and said, "Don't worry, the Master is not as fragile as you think. You haven't seen how strong this guy is."

Chapter 346 Gambling Battle

After choosing a nice, open spot, Gilgamesh turned around, folding his arms across his chest, still maintaining his haughty demeanor. Wang Chong, without even taking out the Blade of the Ruined King, stood with one hand on his hip, looking at Gilgamesh and saying,

"Tell me, should we go through the process or get an Ea directly?"

"Faker, I'm truly curious about what gives you such confidence. However, since you're seeking your own death, I'll allow you to once again face the glory of Ea." Gilgamesh didn't waste any more words. With a wave of his hand, a red "fire stick" appeared in his hand. The Sword of Separation Ea began to spin, its power increasing.

"Then die—Heaven and Earth…"

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Gilgamesh was about to push his sword to its full power, Wang Chong suddenly called out, "Stop!" Gilgamesh abruptly stopped, clenching his left fist and shouting, "Damn it, Faker! What are you doing?"

"I just wanted to remind you, this is a bet, right? It's about whether I can take your sword of separation head-on," Wang Chong said. "Since it's a bet, we can't just make it without words, right? There has to be some stakes, right? What do you think, Gilgamesh?"

"Heh... a prize? So what is it about me that you like?" Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows slightly. He immediately understood what the other party was planning. After a sarcastic smile, he asked.

"I won't take more than that. I just want your key." Wang Chong pointed to the golden key that Gilgamesh had revealed when he took out the sword of separation - the King's Key.

"Not taking more? You still have the nerve to call that not taking more? Damn Faker, you are so bold that you covet my entire treasure house?" Gilgamesh finally understood. This person was not targeting one of his treasures, but clearly wanted to take away his entire treasure house.

"What's the matter, Hero King? Are you afraid to gamble? Or are you not as confident in your Guaili Sword as you thought?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

"Put aside your inferior provocation. Ha, you're using this little trick on me. Do you really think I'm a fool?" Gilgamesh raised the Sword of Separation and spoke. "When it comes to betting, of course you have to bet something of equal value. Forget all the Noble Phantasms I've collected. Even if it's the Sword of Separation in my hand, can you bet something of equal value? If you don't have an equal stake, then you have no right to bet with me!"

"Alright, then I'll also bring out the cellar for Hero King to see." Wang Chong then produced a crystal-clear sphere and said, "Since I want the key, then I'll also bet on the key. This is my key to my own little world, which also contains all my belongings. I can't say my belongings are necessarily more valuable than yours, Hero King, but at least one thing is certain... I possess something that is definitely not found in your treasury."

"This is the capital I am betting with you... Hero King, you have also seen the weapons I wield, so look carefully for yourself. Can you find the original prototype of this weapon of mine?"

At the same time, Wang Chong threw his weapon, the Blade of the Ruined King, to Gilgamesh, letting him take a closer look. He wasn't worried that Gilgamesh wouldn't return it to him. No one could take away things that had been certified by the system, so taking it back from a distance would be a piece of cake.

Gilgamesh wielded the sword, feeling its power, and frowned slightly. He had long since sensed that the other party's power wasn't magic, but a mysterious and unknown force, which Gilgamesh found intriguing and novel.

"Also, this is the aura of my small worlds. While they also contain the magic and various elements of this world, they also contain more unknown things. Gilgamesh, while objectively my things may not be more valuable than your treasured possessions, I know very well that what you don't have is of the greatest value to you, Gilgamesh. Am I right?"

As Wang Chong spoke, he showed a corner of his small world. Needless to say, the magical elements that made up it were numerous, and there were even more unknown powers hidden in the dimensional home.

“…” Gilgamesh said nothing, but threw the Blade of the Ruined King back to Wang Chong, appearing to be still thinking.

Wang Chong took it and placed it in his interspatial backpack. He then said, "What we have are keys, and what the keys can unlock is exactly what we possess. You and I are each putting our entire fortunes on the line for a gamble. Isn't this the most exciting of all gambling battles?"

"Everything, or nothing. Gilgamesh, do you dare to take this gamble?" Wang Chong said with a smile, spreading his hands.

"Haha... what an all or nothing situation. Perhaps I shouldn't call you Faker, but rather a gambler who's crazier than a madman." Gilgamesh raised the sword Ea and said, "I grant your permission! Let me see if you have what it takes to seize my treasure trove!"

The Sword of Separation Ea emitted a crimson gust of wind, creating a spatial fault with its wind pressure. It had clearly reached its full potential. Gilgamesh also shouted angrily:

"Atoms blend and solidify, creating the stars that weave all things. Behold them with your death—Enuma Elish (The Star That Created the Divorce of Heaven and Earth)!!!"

After saying this, Gilgamesh swung the Sword of Separation in his hand towards Wang Chong. The incomparable strong wind, accompanied by spatial faults, easily destroyed everything around him. However, when the strong wind blew towards Wang Chong, Wang Chong showed no intention of retreating. Instead, he faced the majesty of opening up a corner of the world with a smile on his face.

Wang Chong had long wanted to give it a try. With his current physical strength, the body of the True Ancestor, the Ruined Black Mist, and the strong recovery ability of the Avalon Scabbard, he wanted to see if he could withstand the strongest output state of the Sword of Separation Ea, so as to clearly understand the current limit of his physical body.

Anyway, whether it is the body of the True Ancestor or his own invincible golden body, it can ensure that he will not be killed, so just rush in and it will be over.

The first force Wang Chong encountered was his own shattered black mist. He held back, not drawing upon the source of the black mist within the Great Holy Grail, but simply drawing upon the black mist's power, which he often used. The black mist, after all, was a power unlike any other in this world, and surprisingly, it wasn't easily destroyed by the gale. It fought the gale with equal energy. However, it didn't last long before the gale shattered the black mist's power, directly slicing into his body.

Pain, unimaginable pain, like countless knives slicing at one's flesh. And every time it was cut, it would be regenerated by the True Ancestor's body and Avalon's magic. And so it went on, over and over again, stuck between destruction and rebirth, experiencing inhuman agony.

To be honest, Wang Chong felt a bit regretful... However, ever since arriving in the Type-Moon world, everything had been so smooth sailing that it was truly too much. Sometimes, one needs to find a little hardship to temper one's character. Otherwise, even if one possesses immense power and extraordinary experience, without a strong heart to wield it, one will ultimately be like a child swinging a sledgehammer, hurting only oneself.

Therefore, Wang Chong endured it, without making a sound, and let the strong wind scrape at his flesh and blood. Even when his bones were exposed, Wang Chong did not retreat at all.

Gilgamesh continued to drive the Sword of Separation with the same expressionless face, but his heart was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface. This was the first time he saw someone dare to use his body to directly confront the full force of the Sword of Separation. What surprised Gilgamesh even more was that the man actually held on for more than ten seconds under the strong wind.

Although the opponent was practically a skeleton, the Sword of Separation's duration was almost up. Gilgamesh wasn't sure if the opponent's current state was considered dead, but seeing that the opponent didn't even flinch, even after being reduced to bones, he couldn't help but feel a little impressed.

Finally, with only a few seconds left, when the gale from the Sword of Separation began to destroy Wang Chong's skull and heart at the sternum, a golden light flashed. Gilgamesh then discovered that the gale from the Sword of Separation could no longer destroy Wang Chong at all, and Wang Chong's originally injured state was also recovering rapidly.

After the gusts of wind from the Guaili Sword Ea completely ceased, Wang Chong's mouth, covered in rotten flesh, spoke, "It seems I have won, Hero King."

Chapter 347: Brothers entangled!

"Looks like I won, Hero King." Wang Chong grinned. It was hard to imagine that he was still alive with all the rotten flesh hanging all over his body.

Wang Chong actually sighed inwardly. His body was still a little weak and he couldn't completely withstand the strong wind of the Sword of Separation. In the end, he still triggered the invincible golden body that appeared once a day, and it helped him to recover his health.

Gilgamesh didn't find Wang Chong's current appearance disgusting. Instead, he said calmly, "Yes, you did win, Faker."

"Then I'll admit defeat and give me the key," Wang Chong said, extending his hand.

Unexpectedly, Gilgamesh actually took out the key and threw it directly into Wang Chong's hand. Even Wang Chong hadn't expected the other party to hand over the Wang Lu key so readily. For a moment, Wang Chong couldn't help but scrutinize it.

"Of course I keep my words, unlike you, Faker, who is full of lies." As if he saw the other party's doubts, Gilgamesh sneered and said.

"The Hero King is willing to accept defeat. I admire you... Hmm?" Wang Chong smiled at this and then injected his magic power into Wang Lujian, intending to extract the two treasures from it for a look. However, after the magic power was injected, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any movement or ripples.

Wang Chong was stunned at first, then immediately asked the system to scan and investigate. The information it found surprised Wang Chong.

[Scan Result: Wang Lujian: In the Age of Gods, human territories were often limited. The King collected all the treasures on earth and built a treasury to store them. This treasury is the source of all the treasures created in later generations and a testament to human wisdom and intelligence. Humanity praised it as the "Gate of God." (Treasure of the King)

The shape of the key is constantly changing, and the treasure list is constantly growing. Without the wisdom to instantly decipher it, the key to the treasure house cannot be opened. (Special conditions must be met to open it.)

"Special conditions? This thing needs special conditions to be used?" Wang Chong couldn't help but complain. He seemed to have actually forgotten about this hidden setting. He had originally thought that if he gambled the key over, it would be like owning the King's Treasury. Now he was told that he couldn't use it?

"Well, based on the results of the scan, I guess the special conditions are any one of the following three: First, possessing Gilgamesh's spiritual base or panel. If the host integrates a part of Gilgamesh's spiritual base in the future or directly draws this villain template, then the King's Treasury can be used directly. This is also the most feasible method the host currently has." said the system.

"What about the other two?" Wang Chong asked.

"The other two are even more demanding. According to the information just scanned, to possess the wisdom to interpret things instantly and thoroughly, one must possess the characteristic of omniscience. Of course, this is not omniscience in a broad sense, as long as it is the concept of omniscience that is unique to Type-Moon Earth. In addition to omniscience, if the host possesses the characteristic of almightiness, he or she can naturally force open the King's Treasure." The system explained.

"If you're not Gilgamesh, you have to be omniscient or omnipotent to activate it? Are you kidding me?" Wang Chong's face darkened, and when he raised his head, he saw Gilgamesh looking at him with a mocking expression.

"So, Gilgamesh, you already knew that this thing wouldn't work for me, right?" Wang Chong took a deep breath and said.

"Haha, you mere Faker, do you really think my things are so easy to get?" Gilgamesh taunted. "Since you rarely make me laugh, I'll give you a dignified death this time."

Gilgamesh once again mobilized his magic power, preparing to use the power of the Sword of Separation again.

"You've managed to block my sword head-on without dying. You're truly a rare talent. I'll give you the key, but this time, I'll take your life!"

“Enuma——”

"Go! Enkidu! Show me the Brotherly Entanglement!"

In an instant, the golden chains bound Gilgamesh, and some thin chains even wrapped around Gilgamesh's fingers and pried them apart, making it impossible for Gilgamesh to hold the sword of separation.

"Varied--!"

Feeling the familiar yet powerful restraints, Gilgamesh's eyes widened in disbelief, and he couldn't help but demand, "Impossible! You can't use my treasure at all! Where did you get the Heavenly Chains?"

"Use your omnipotent wisdom to guess, Gilgamesh? Your expression right now also makes me happy." Wang Chong put his hands on his hips. He was the one who always made others embarrassed, but never let others make him embarrassed. Gilgamesh had just fooled him once, so he would also show him a good show of brotherly entanglement.

Look, this is how Gilgamesh and Enkidu used it!

Gilgamesh struggled continuously, but Wang Chong's Heavenly Chain was an original product produced by the system, and its special attack against divinity was obvious. Given the value of Gilgamesh's divinity, if he was entangled, he would have no chance of breaking free unless he had the same level of strength as Uncle B.

Gilgamesh quickly gave up after sensing the familiar divine aura. He knew the Heaven's Chain too well, and knew he couldn't unlock it. Therefore, he could only manage an awkward expression and say, "Haha... You're truly Faker. You can even replicate my Heaven's Chain. Is there anything you can't create?"

After all, this was a Noble Phantasm he had carried with him for so long. Gilgamesh knew full well that while it was identical and had the same effect, it wasn't his own Heaven's Chain. While he didn't know how the other party had managed to create an identical Heaven's Chain, he was certain it was a "fake" created by Faker.

"What? I thought you were going to say I had a plan to open your treasury door." Wang Chong, holding the Blade of the Ruined King, approached Gilgamesh. He first placed the Sword of Separation into the system space, then looked at Gilgamesh and said, "Actually, even without the Chains of Heaven, I can still defeat you... Just like this!"

"Om-"

Gilgamesh felt a sharp pain from behind. He stared blankly at the Ruined King's Blade that had pierced him from behind. He then looked at Wang Chong, who had been so close to him moments before, but suddenly appeared ten meters away. Suddenly, an epiphany struck him, and he muttered, "So that's it. It's you... I actually forgot that. Damn True Ancestor monster, damn Faker."
