The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

Wang Chong had completely retracted the surrounding black fog, and the obstruction that had disrupted the transmission of the spirit particles was no longer there. Mashu and Ritsuka exchanged a glance and nodded. Ritsuka then said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang Chong. We'll take our leave now."

"Go ahead. This place is just a ruin. Apart from me and these surviving servants, there is nothing worth investigating." With that, Wang Chong turned his back and flew back to his mount.

"Of course, if you want to take a stroll, that's up to you. Enjoy these few moments of rest. Your first journey has just begun."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chong and his Servants flew away from Mashu and Ritsuka's sight. It seemed that from the beginning, they had only wanted to make contact with the Chaldean group and had no other impure motives.

The author says:

Author's Note: I've officially entered the FGO worldline, and a new volume has begun. From the data and comments, I can see that people's impression of Zhou's worldview is less than satisfactory, so I'm temporarily interrupting Zhou's main storyline. Of course, this doesn't mean I'm completely abandoning Zhou's worldline. I'll slowly make up for it in the form of flashbacks later. I won't say any more nonsense, please feel free to watch.

Chapter 2 Merlin's Advice

"Ha... Such a strong feeling of oppression, I feel like my heart is about to jump out of my chest." After everyone left, Lixiang sat down limply on the ground.

"Senior, are you okay?" When Mashu saw Ritsuka sitting on the ground, she hurried forward to greet him.

"It's okay... I was just shocked by that momentum just now, and I've just recovered now. I just need to rest for a while." Ritsuka shook his head and smiled to indicate that he was fine.

"Fortunately, Ritsuka, your mental state is currently good. Thank you for your hard work, Ritsuka, Mashu. The existence you just faced is a true god-level being. No matter who faces the pressure from the gods, they will be in awe."

Dr. Roman comforted.

"It's just... I never imagined that the guy who won the Fuyuki Holy Grail would be such a terrifying existence. No wonder the monarch from the Clock Tower lost his life in that Holy Grail War."

"Is it true that someone in modern times can become a god?" Li Xiang couldn't help but ask.

"Perhaps the original Mr. Wang Chong wouldn't be this powerful. However, considering the connection to the entire Fuyuki spiritual vein, and considering the mastermind behind their encounter—ahem, let's tentatively name him King Solomon."

Dr. Roman coughed twice and continued:

"They were attacked by King Solomon. To survive, Mr. Wang Chong was forced to make a wish to the Holy Grail. It was through the power of the Holy Grail and the spiritual veins of Fuyuki that he was able to achieve such a level of status and survive."

Doctor Roman continued, "So, it's no surprise that he's so powerful. After all, that's the Greater Holy Grail, capable of triggering the Third Law Miracle. It's completely different from the magical crystal blocks we've collected before."

"These aren't the real key points. I can clearly tell that Lord Wang Chong still knows a lot more than he's yet to reveal. He probably knows more about the burning of human principles than we imagine. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited for us."

Leonardo da Vinci couldn't help but say:

"Don't forget, he contributed to the cost of building Chaldea. He even managed to get the black Saber to travel through the Fuyuki singularity ten years later, deliberately leaving clues leading to Fuyuki City in 1994. He went through so much trouble, the information he conveyed shouldn't be as simple as he just said."

Dr. Roman said, "The former director was very secretive about this sponsor and didn't reveal much. But now we can only take it one step at a time. Regardless of the other party's other intentions, at this stage, having a powerful ally who can help us is the best thing."

"Mashu, Ritsuka, do you want to continue exploring this singularity? If you want to come back, just let us know at any time. We have already made preparations for the return trip." Dr. Roman asked.

"Doctor, let's try to walk around first. It would be good if we can find some clues. Didn't that gentleman also not stop us?" Lixiang immediately got up and said enthusiastically.

"Seeing Ritsuka so motivated, I, the doctor, can't help but be moved. Since you have made up your mind, Ritsuka, just go for it. Da Vinci, everyone in Chaldea and I will fully support you." Dr. Roman said with a smile.

"Come on, Mashu, let's go for a walk together and see what we can find." Ritsuka turned around, smiled, and took Mashu's hand and ran forward.

"Okay, senior." Mashu responded with a smile and followed Ritsuka to patrol aimlessly.

……

In the center of a black fog somewhere high in the sky, Wang Chong was seen silently watching the actions of Ritsuka and Mashu with his clairvoyance.

"They're really taking it easy, like they're treating this place like a tourist attraction," Mordred said with a bit of boredom. "I thought we could start a fight, especially that purple-haired girl... If I'm not mistaken, the spiritual power within her should be that guy, right?"

"Yes, it's Sir Galahad. I can feel the will that Sir Galahad has poured into that girl. But Sir Galahad doesn't seem to have told the girl everything about himself." Artoria said.

"Is it really okay to let them wander around like this?" Semiramis looked at Wang Chong and asked.

"That's fine. I just happened to have something to ask a certain nerd hiding in his house watching all this."

Wang Chong slashed open the door to the Dimensional Home and said, "You should all return home and wait for now. The door to the Dimensional Home will only be connected to the spatial node where I am currently located. Whether I go to Chaldea or a singularity, I can summon you at any time."

After hearing Wang Chong's words, the servants nodded and returned to their dimensional homes one after another. In the end, only Altria remained, having not yet left.

"Do you want me to call him for you?" asked Altria.

"Well, please shout for me, otherwise this guy might be pretending to be deaf and dumb." Wang Chong nodded and said.

"Hey, you two, stop shouting. I can't get out even if you shout. You all know the situation outside. Being able to transmit sound over a thousand miles is already the limit of what I can do." At this time, the rather prelude-like voice reached the ears of Wang Chong and Altria.

"See, I told you that guy has been watching from the side. Who knows where he might pop up from?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

"Lord Merlin, please take what comes next seriously. I can feel that the history of my time has also undergone tremendous changes. If I hadn't relied on the Third Law to stay above it, I would have been deeply affected." said Artoria.

"My king, please be at ease. Britain is always under my observation and I have arranged the right people to deal with it." Merlin said in a voice transmission.

"That's good." Artoria nodded and then stepped into the door of the dimensional home.

"Is your backup plan to let Bedivere personally deal with the mistakes he made?" Wang Chong spoke directly after Altria left.

"It's been seen through," Merlin said slowly. "This world is often made up of cause and effect. This is his choice, and he must naturally be responsible for it."

"Similarly, Lord Wang Chong, as someone who has experienced this, I would like to remind you not to try to interfere too much with the predetermined fate. Otherwise, you might get into serious trouble."

"Is this a warning?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

"How dare I? As a kindhearted elder brother, I cannot bear to see the one my king loves go too far down that wrong path. My king has walked that path before, and because of it, he suffered a price he shouldn't have paid."

Merlin sighed and continued, "I know you figured out the doctor's identity. Otherwise, you wouldn't have deliberately used King Solomon's name to provoke him. And precisely because you know his identity, you also know that he holds the key to breaking this situation."

"The one who tied the bell must untie it. Just like Bedivere, the only one who could deal with the Demon King Goetia was King Solomon, the original owner. But you...want to change all this. You want to defeat Goetia yourself, forcefully breaking this situation...which is equivalent to accepting the price from that doctor."

"The price is too high... Big Brother, I'm really worried. After all these years, it's rare to meet someone as compatible as you. If you just disappear without a trace like this, wouldn't it be such a shame?"

"Isn't it just Goetia? Even if he possesses the immense magical power brought about by the burning of human principles, what does it matter? Can he destroy the entire solar system with a single strike? As long as his output limit is there and he doesn't surpass the planet, I will eventually find a way to surpass him within a limited time."

Wang Chong said disapprovingly, "You should be able to see how fast I'm growing. Do you think I can't catch up with Goetia?"

"What if it's not just Goetia?" Merlin suddenly said, "What if we want that doctor... ahem!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from Merlin's side, and Merlin himself couldn't stop coughing up blood.

"Merlin? Hello Merlin? Are you still alive? What happened?" Wang Chong asked with a frown.

"Huh... She won't die yet. I just said too much... Anyway, listen to my advice, big brother, and let nature take its course. That little girl is God's chosen one. As long as you take good care of her, everything will be fine."

Merlin took a breath, then continued, "On the other hand, if you were to do something too unorthodox, you would bear all the consequences and costs alone."

"..." Wang Chong did not make a sound this time like he did before. The noise Merlin had just heard was real. Through the black mist he left on Merlin, he clearly observed a terrifying force that passed through Avalon and hit Merlin directly.

"Isn't it just Goetia?" Wang Chong thought to himself.

"Let's put these things aside for now. Do you have the means to travel through time and space or downgrade to project a heroic spirit?" Wang Chong asked.

"I do have a copy here. But aren't you planning to enter Chaldea through the other party's spirit particle migration?" Merlin asked doubtfully.

"The more the better. By then, I can arrange more measures in advance." Wang Chong said slowly, "After all, you just enlightened me. Some things still require full preparation."

Chapter 3 Arrival at Chaldea

"You guys are getting more and more perverted the more I look at you..."

"Merlin, you really don't think I can come over to you and knock you over the head right now, do you?"

"I'm praising you, praising you."

His voice was filled with helplessness as he continued, "From ancient times to the present, I've never seen anyone with a learning talent as great as yours. I've just finished speaking, and not only have you learned all these spells, your attainments are now on par with mine. I really don't know what's wrong with your brain."

"Hmm? That shouldn't be the case, right? I remember there should be many people in history who are born with knowledge. Not to mention the distant past, isn't King Solomon a living example?" Wang Chong asked as he continued to carefully practice the magical knowledge that Merlin had just taught him.

"That's different. Innate knowledge is more of an inexplicable enlightenment, like being born with a knowledge base." Merlin shook his head and said, "That's not learning at all. Applying knowledge you already know and instantly understanding and applying unknown knowledge are completely different concepts."

"Really? Then I will sincerely accept your compliment. Although I don't like the words you used... Hmm? It seems that they finally chose to go back." Wang Chong suddenly stopped performing the magic spell because he sensed that the black energy he had deposited on Ritsuka was disappearing from this world.

"After all, apart from you, a living being, there really isn't much information left in this world. It's inevitable that they would rush back so early... Hmm? Wait? What are you doing now?"

Merlin was sighing when he suddenly noticed that Wang Chong's body began to change.

Wang Chong's body was also gradually transforming into particles, and it was extremely unstable, with a faint feeling that it was about to disappear from this world.

"When did you learn how to transfer soul particles?" Merlin quickly saw the reason for the changes in Wang Chong and said in surprise.

"Just now, have you forgotten the black mist I injected into that girl? Through the changes that occurred when they left, combined with the knowledge you just taught me about time travel and downgraded projection, I have roughly figured out the operating mechanism of spirit particle migration. Now all I have to do is follow and pass through."

Wang Chong said.

"...It seems that I really underestimated your terrifying learning ability." Merlin sighed.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. How about doing me one last favor?" Wang Chong asked.

"Help? How do you want me to help?" Merlin asked.

"Lepton transfer utilizes quantum principles—the cat box principle. Merlin, as you are my only observer now, I need you to close your eyes so that I can fully enter a state where I can travel through time and space," Wang Chong said.

"Close your eyes, right? Okay, okay." Merlin closed his eyes and said with a smile, "Big brother has already closed his eyes, be careful not to get caught by me."

"Then Merlin, open your eyes now...we'll see you later," Wang Chong said.

When Merlin opened his eyes again, Wang Chong had already disappeared from the range of his clairvoyance. He knew very well that the other party had already traveled to Chaldea.

"Ah, what do you mean by 'see you later'? Doesn't that mean we have to wait for over 20 years?" Merlin sighed. "Alright, it's just a matter of sleeping. See you later then. Xiao Wang Chong~"

……

"Ding—Congratulations to the host, you've achieved active time and world travel, completing the hidden achievement: Active Travel. You receive a random skill jar.

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for entering the third world, the Type-Moon World FGO world line. You will be awarded 1000 villain points. Since you relied on your own abilities to enter the third world, you will also be awarded a random item jar."

"Ding—You are about to receive the main quest... Retrieval in progress..."

Wang Chong opened his eyes and found himself in a very familiar corridor. He had seen this scene countless times before. The only difference was the familiar song "Smell the Music" playing.

The system notification sounded constantly in his mind, but Wang Chong shook his head and ignored it. Instead, he began to move forward in the direction he sensed. The Ritsuka he had marked should be not far ahead.

"But doesn't Chaldea have any protective measures at all? I just walked in so brazenly, and there wasn't even an alarm. Or was everyone's attention focused on supporting Ritsuka?"

After all, I was just playing a game and hadn't truly experienced the hardships of being a Chaldean Master. I wouldn't know the details of Chaldea either. As long as Mushroom hadn't written these scripts, I would know nothing about it.

Of course, even if the sequel was written, Wang Chong would not be clear about it, because he quit the game shortly after defeating Goetia.

"Let's listen to what Li Xiang and the others are saying." Wang Chong nodded his head lightly, and then his black mist ability began to work. Li Xiang's voice began to echo in his mind:

"Thank you for your hard work, Ritsuka and Mashu. Your physical condition is relatively stable after this journey. By the way, Ritsuka, after Lord Wang Chong bestowed his blessing on you, have you carefully felt any changes in your body?"

Obviously, this is Dr. Roman asking about Ritsuka's physical condition.

"It's nothing. Rather, I feel more energetic. I can run for a long time without feeling tired. My body feels much more relaxed," Ritsuka said. "Mashu can testify to this. We just ran a long distance."

"That's right. Senior, compared to when we first arrived in Fuyuki City, your physical strength, endurance, and speed have all improved significantly. Although it hasn't reached the level of a Servant, it's still quite rare among humans." Mashu praised without hesitation.

"Is that so? It seems that the blessing is to improve physical fitness. Although I have never seen that kind of black mist magic, it is better to check it carefully later just in case." Dr. Roman said.

"Well, by the way, doctor, did you come to any conclusions about the Grand Canyon and those giant pits we just saw?" Lixiang began to ask about what they had seen and heard along the way.

"Hmm... How should I put it? Based on the data simulation results, those traces can only be traces of combat. We deduced the approximate energy level based on the area and volume of the traces and the properties of the ground..."

Dr. Roman sighed and continued, "I can only say that both King Solomon, the mastermind behind this, and Wang Chong, who has become one with the Fuyuki Holy Grail, are far from worthy of our wrath. The latter is still not so bad, after all, they are currently seeking cooperation. But the former is a real enemy we must face."

"Although I informed you of the difficulty of this mission from the outset, after quantifying it, it's still a pessimistic situation... Ah, I don't mean to discourage you. It's just that only after you know this clear truth can you make more correct choices in the future."

Dr. Roman quickly explained.

"Alright, that's just Roman's personality. He tends to see things in a pessimistic light. No matter how powerful your opponent is, there's only one path forward. Instead of panicking and hesitating, why not put all that aside and move forward with a down-to-earth approach?"

Da Vinci pushed Dr. Roman away and spoke seriously.

"We all believe in you, Ritsuka, Mashu. You've performed well in every Fuyuki singularity. As for the final enemy, your journey has just begun. Don't look too far ahead."

"Don't worry, doctor, dear Da Vinci, Mashu and I won't be defeated so easily." Although Ritsuka looked a little uneasy at the beginning, after seeing Da Vinci's encouragement, he regained his spirits and said.

"Then I won't say anything more. Mashu, Ritsuka, you should go to the infirmary first so I can check your physical condition. Then have a good rest. Chaldea will soon begin the shuttle to the first singularity." Dr. Roman said.

Ritsuka nodded, then began to prepare to leave the Spirit Transfer Room with Mashu. Before opening the door, Ritsuka turned around and asked, "Come to think of it, when we separated, didn't Mr. Wang Chong say he'd be coming to Chaldea soon? We've been wandering around there for so long, so he's probably already here?"

"No...it's better to say that we haven't seen him yet." Dr. Roman shook his head and said behind him.

"Is that so? I thought I would be able to see that gentleman soon?" Ritsuka said, opening the door.

"It's not too late to meet now, is it?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the door.

"Eh?"

Li Xiang quickly turned around and found Wang Chong standing right in front of her. She screamed and quickly stepped back, but her legs gave way and she lost her balance, falling backwards.

"go."

However, Wang Chong flicked his finger, and a wisp of black mist appeared directly on Lixiang's buttocks and lower back, supporting Lixiang like a soft chair so that he would not fall on his buttocks.

"Don't be nervous, we are already partners, aren't we?" Wang Chong stretched out his hand and said with a smile.

"Hehehe, thank you." Seeing that Wang Chong no longer had the same domineering attitude as before and extended his hand to him in a friendly manner, Lixiang scratched his head, then reached out and held Wang Chong's hand, and stood up again with Wang Chong's help.
