Wang Chong stared at Gilles de Ray seriously, then said:

"You should know Jeanne very well... Do you think she will really follow you for revenge?"

Wang Chong's words struck Gilles de Rais like a thunderbolt, striking him in the heart. Of course, he understood Joan of Arc's character. He would never blame or resent her country or her compatriots for this...it was all just wishful thinking on his part.

"You look like you understand... Now you understand why I told you to look for your own problems, right?" Wang Chong said with a chuckle.

"So you're here to laugh at me after all... You know this clearly... Then what's the point of me doing all this!" Gilles de Ray raised his head, stared at Wang Chong resentfully, and said.

"How can it be meaningless... And I said, I came here to help you from the beginning."

Wang Chong walked towards Jill, a devilish smile on his face, and whispered those words that led people into the abyss:

"Who said... that if I can't resurrect Jeanne d'Arc, I can't let her fulfill her heart's desire with you?"

"!! What do you mean?" Gilles de Rey was shocked and quickly looked at Wang Chong and asked.

"Since Jeanne d'Arc isn't willing to fulfill your wish...why not create a 'Joan of Arc' who is willing to fulfill your vision?"

"Create...create a Joan of Arc?"

Gilles de Rais's eyes widened and his breathing became heavy.

"That's right. Create a Joan of Arc, a Joan of Arc determined to avenge her murderers, a Joan of Arc determined to completely destroy this country, a truly terrifying witch... Isn't this exactly what you want to see, Marshal Gil?"

Wang Chong's voice became more and more alluring, and Gilles de Rey's eyes lit up as he listened to Wang Chong's words.

"Yes—yes! Why not create a Joan of Arc! Why didn't I think of that!"

Gilles de Rey laughed heartily. His gaze towards Wang Chong was no longer filled with resentment, but with gratitude. He said,

"I misjudged your kindness. Now I understand exactly what to do."

"That's good. Our original intention is to hope that you can disrupt all this as soon as possible. Do you understand?" Wang Chong looked at Gilles de Rey and said.

"I will certainly not forget the deal we made. So please, Your Excellency, be my witness."

Now that he knew the method, Gilles de Res no longer hesitated and began to prepare for the Holy Grail prayer ceremony.

Unfortunately, because Wang Chong had been constantly attacking his mind during this period, Gilles de Rey did not realize that his control over the Holy Grail had long been quietly usurped by Wang Chong using the power of the black mist.

"Using a fraudulent card."

At this time, Wang Chong immediately used the Fraud Card. After the illusion unfolded, Wang Chong easily took away the Holy Grail that Gilles de Rais was praying for and replaced it with an illusion.

Gilles de Rais, who was deeply trapped in hallucinations, was unaware of all this.

Wang Chong raised his head again and shouted to the three people above, "You can come down now."

Black Jeanne, Jeanne, and Atalanta, now transformed into a bow, fell to the ground. Gilles de Rais was still unaware of this due to the illusion.

"Okay, then according to the script, Black Jeanne, you will take that position. When the summoning is carried out, Atalanta, you will be responsible for taking the position on the bow steps." Wang Chong said.

"Ha, it's finally coming. The noise just now was really making my head hurt." Jeanne d'Arc held her forehead with one hand, and when she recalled Gilles de Rais's words just now, she got goosebumps all over the floor.

Atalanta just nodded silently without saying anything extra.

"Joan of Arc, come with me later. I will put you in a suitable town. After Black Jeanne takes action, you can find a suitable opportunity to go out." Wang Chong said.

Chapter 8: Jeanne's Decision

After hearing Wang Chong's plan, Joan of Arc also nodded. However, her expression remained somewhat complicated, perhaps due to the change in her mindset after hearing what her former friend had just said.

Wang Chong took in Joan of Arc's emotions and said nothing more. He continued to manipulate the illusion, making Gilles de Rais mistakenly believe that he had successfully made the Holy Grail work.

"Okay, Black Jeanne, it's your turn to stand in that position." Wang Chong said.

"Huh..." Black Jeanne d'Arc took a deep breath, as if to encourage herself, and then stood back to her original position.

"Black Jeanne, I'll leave the Holy Grail in your safekeeping for now. You'll need it both to summon servants and to deceive Gilles de Reis." Wang Chong handed the Holy Grail to Black Jeanne and merged it with her.

After Black Jeanne d'Arc merged with the Holy Grail, she felt that her strength had been greatly improved.

When she heard Gilles de Rais's excited voice, she knew that the show had officially begun.

"Since Marshal Gil has succeeded, I will take my leave. Don't forget to summon more Servants to protect this world. After all, the world's corrective power is still there."

After leaving a piece of advice, Wang Chong pretended to leave, but actually hid in an illusion.

Gilles de Rais was no longer in the mood to express his gratitude. His entire attention was now focused on the Black Jeanne d'Arc, the figure he thought he had created. When he tried to approach, a black gun was pointed directly at his neck.

"Are you looking for death, Jill? Stay away from me!" Black Jeanne said with a cold tone, "Don't think that just because you resurrected me, your sins have been cleansed."

"Of course... of course. To atone for this sin, I am willing to become your most loyal servant. Fight to complete your revenge."

Gilles de Rais bowed his head with great humility and swore his loyalty to Joan of Arc.

Afterwards, Gilles de Res began to guide Black Jeanne d'Arc to control the Holy Grail and summon the Heroic Spirits. In the final moments of the illusion, Atalanta pretended to be summoned and stood in the position where the archer would appear.

Then, servants were summoned one after another. They were:

Saber Knight Dion, Lancer Vlad III, the infiltrated Archer Atalanta, Rider Marda, and Assassin Camilla. These are the only five Servants that have been summoned for now.

Wang Chong saw the illusion was about to disappear, so he took the opportunity to immediately leave the palace with Joan of Arc. The following plot was basically predictable. It was estimated that another Bishop Pierre would be burned alive today.

……

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for successfully deceiving the arch-villain Gilles de Ray and replacing the Holy Grail, Jeanne d'Arc, and Atalanta with one thing for another, toying with Gilles de Ray's hand. 500 Villain Points awarded. Current Villain Points: 18400."

On the way, Wang Chong listened to the prompt sound played by the system. After reading his own panel, he turned his gaze back to his surroundings.

When Wang Chong caught a glimpse of the still somewhat sullen Jeanne, he finally spoke, "What's wrong? Are you affected by what Jill said?"

"I thought I could accept the fact of death calmly. Whether it was burning or judgment, I did everything I should do."

Joan of Arc said slowly:

"But I never imagined that my death would drive my former friend to this point... I want to do something, to help him let go of all this. But I don't know how."

"Because you feel you can't convince the other party to let go of this resentment?" Wang Chong asked.

"Well, because I can sense that I might just be a trigger... What truly drives Gilles to despair is the injustice of the world. The royal family is weak and incompetent, and the middle class is deeply corrupt. How can France, with such a situation, lead its people to completely drive out the invaders?"

Joan of Arc said slowly, "It is precisely because I have seen so much darkness that I cherish the glorious time I once created all the more."

"The more he yearns for it, the further he gets from the real Joan of Arc... whether it's the vengeful Joan of Arc he wants to be loyal to and fulfill his wishes, or the savior Joan of Arc he longs for."

"Because of this, a barrier has formed that completely prevents communication." After saying this, Zhendace looked at Wang Chong and asked, "So, Wang Chong-kun, can you help me? I want to help my old friend escape this madness."

"Isn't this what we are doing now?" Wang Chong said slowly.

"Huh?" Joan of Arc asked in confusion.

"Resolving the singularity may seem like simply restoring the original history and seizing the Holy Grail, which serves as its foundation. But in reality, the true origin of the singularity stems from the obsession of the Singularity Master."

Wang Chong said slowly, "If we want to truly and perfectly resolve the singularity, we should understand the singularity master's obsession and resolve it. This is equivalent to resolving the root cause of the singularity."

"Obsession..." Jeanne seemed to understand a little and nodded slightly. "So, what you're saying is that as long as we defeat Gil and the others, this obsession will be resolved?"

"The key isn't victory, but fighting," Wang Chong said. "Didn't you say that his longings and hopes have drawn him further away from you? Then continue the fight."

"Not only is combat the best way to demonstrate one's will, but most importantly, you and Gilles de Ray first met on the battlefield. The battlefield is the bridge through which you rebuild your communication."

"Defeat him, not only to stop your old friend from making further mistakes, but also to make him confirm your will. Make him truly wake up. And you see..."

At this time, Wang Chong gestured to Joan of Arc to look below the edge of the black fog cloud.

Joan of Arc looked down and saw a very familiar man in silver-white armor, who was organizing the soldiers for daily training.

His appearance was very similar to Gilles de Rais's, except that he was younger and more energetic.

After seeing this, Joan of Arc was slightly startled, as if she had thought of something. She looked at Wang Chong, who slowly said:

"Nothing can help a person find himself more than facing his original intention again. He is also a mirror for Gilles de Rais to see himself clearly. So don't worry about anything, just do it with all your heart, just like you did in France."

"I see. I know what to do. Let me use this flag in my hand to continue what I have done before."

Joan of Arc waved her lance, watching the flag flutter, and her thoughts became clear. After thinking it through, the haze between her brows dissipated again, and she smiled and said:

"Sure enough, maybe my brain is getting a little old from living such a comfortable life."

"You should learn from Black Jeanne... Although she kept muttering and complaining during this mission, she actually enjoyed it." Wang Chong said with a smile.

"I can see that. I also envy Sister Heizhen for always having that childlike innocence. It is precisely because of this that you, Wang Chong, can trust her the most, right?" Jeanne smiled and sat down next to Wang Chong, leaning on him.

"Thank you, Wang Chong-jun... for always helping such a clumsy me."

"Why would we even say thank you between us?" Wang Chong also hugged Jeanne and said gently.

……

After landing, Wang Chong brought Jeanne to a suitable secluded area and instructed her:

"In addition to handling the scenario I'll give you, you must also be on the lookout for any other changes. Watch out for Servants that automatically manifest due to the restraints, and gather them. Assist Chaldea well."

"Even though Merlin is unreliable, there's one thing he said that I completely agree with. Without adversity, there's no growth. Ritsuka will eventually become an outstanding Master capable of standing on her own.

"I won't openly help her with this singularity. I'll leave her affairs to you." Wang Chong slowly instructed Jeanne.

Chapter 9 Changes in the Speed ​​of Time

Joan of Arc nodded in agreement, and Wang Chong said nothing more. He took a step forward and returned to Chaldea.

Afterwards, Wang Chong gathered the other Servants, including non-combatants like Irisviel and the others, and informed them of the situation and the next plan.

"What? So I can't participate in this incident again?"

It can be seen that Modred is really frustrated. It’s not because she hasn’t trained enough, but because she is beaten by her two fathers every day. She really needs a hearty battle to vent her frustration during this period.

"Don't worry, Mordred, don't worry yet." Wang Chong said with a smile, "You are the key to both singularities, and I will also take you to the second singularity later."

"And if you really want to show off your skills, you can also go to another world to play around. Of course, as long as you dare to cut in line with your two fathers." Wang Chong said, looking at Artoria and the others.

"No! No! Master, please don't trick me on this matter! Can't I just wait?" Mordred said with tears in his eyes.

"Has Lady Jeanne already gone to her hometown? I wonder how she is doing now."

At this moment, Leticia, who had been leaning over by Jeanne, couldn't help but show some worry on her face. She said, "It's a pity that I can't help you at all."

"That's not the case, Letitia. During this time, you will be accompanying Irisviel, Aoi, and the others in assisting Chaldea's support efforts. This is a very important task for me, Jeanne, and the others, so there's no need to underestimate yourself. Just do your best."

Wang Chong said slowly, "Also, I'll open a separate communication channel between you and Jeanne so you can talk to her about what's been going on these days. Just think of it as helping her relieve some of the mental stress."

"...Hehe, thank you, Chong-kun." After hearing this, Leticia nodded happily and agreed.

After Wang Chong continued to discuss and make some arrangements with the others, everyone dispersed.

Wang Chong glanced at the current time. Although he couldn't judge whether it was day or night based on the external environment, fortunately with the correction of the Sheba system, he was able to confirm that it was time to go to bed.

Based on this time, Wang Chong began to estimate the length of time since he switched to the Type-Moon World.

According to the time conversion of 1:10, almost a week should have passed on Terra's side. It's time to take a look at the current situation.

It was now night time, so there would be no one to disturb him. Wang Chong could stay at Terra for at least four or five days without any problems.

So Wang Chong opened the door to the dimensional home, and after entering the dimensional home, he began to prepare to switch worlds.

“嗯?1:5?”而当王冲站在泰拉世界的传送入口时,却赫然发现时间流速的比例居然发生了变化,从原本的1:10变成了如今1:5的比例。

"What's going on?" Wang Chong looked towards the original Type-Moon world portal, only to discover that a time flow rate ratio of 2:1 also floated out from the Type-Moon world.

Now, Wang Chong finally understood what was going on. Chaldea's timeline was out of sync with the timeline of the Type-Moon Fourth War, where he was originally stationed!

One day of the Type-Moon Fourth War is equivalent to two days of Chaldean time, and ten days of Terran time. Now, using Chaldean time as the time reference, that's why it looks like this.

"System, the different speeds of time flow in each of your worlds will make it difficult for me to deal with it in the future." Wang Chong couldn't help but say.

"There's nothing we can do about it. The speed of time in each world is just like that. However, once the host gains control of both worlds, they will be able to synchronize their time."

The system reminds:

"Also, as I've said before, different speeds of time flow also have their advantages. At least if the host wants to cultivate a powerful force and followers, and also wants time to flow quickly, then this kind of fast-flowing world becomes quite important."

"For example, you can put children into the world of Terra, so that you can stay in the world of FGO for a year... No, it doesn't even take a year, and those children will grow up to be able to fight."

"...Why do I feel like you're even more inhumane than me, abandoning the children directly to a rotten place like Terra? Don't forget that magic can't be performed there." Wang Chong immediately rejected this decision.

"Alas, the world of Terra isn't static either. As your actions and influence expand, the world of Terra will also begin to infect the ether of the Type-Moon world. By that time, your children will probably be able to stand on their own in the world of Terra."

The system slowly said, "And didn't you also say that Merlin was right? Only appropriate adversity can help those children learn to grow properly."

"No matter how dangerous Terra is, can it be more dangerous than the world on Type-Moon's side? At least Terra is completely under your control. On Type-Moon's side, you still don't have the confidence to defeat Goetia, right?"

After listening to the system's words, Wang Chong was silent for a while, and finally said, "Let's wait until the ether fills the Terra world. We can't even gather the points required for the journey anyway, so why bother talking about this?"

After saying this, Wang Chong once again stepped into the portal to the Terra world.
