The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

As they chatted, Wang Chong repaired all the damaged areas and then retracted the black mist. However, Wang Chong noticed that when he retracted the black mist, a hint of longing and reluctance flashed in Xiao Matou Sakura's eyes, as if she wanted to continue watching the black mist swirl back and forth. Wang Chong also looked at Wang Chong eagerly, wanting to say something, but he didn't dare to ask directly.

"What's wrong, Sakura? You've been staring at the teacher's black mist. Do you like this black mist?" Wang Chong took the initiative to ask Sakura Komatou.

"Teacher... can I learn your magic trick? I also want... I want this black mist," Sakura Matou said, timidly. Despite her young age, she'd already been instilled with common sense about the magic world. You know, in the magic world, teaching magic is a taboo. Others can offer to teach, but you can't ask for it. It was only because of her young age, coupled with her pre-existing master-disciple relationship with Wang Chong, that she dared to speak up. Even so, Sakura Matou was a little afraid, fearing her question would upset her teacher again.

"Black fog? This black fog is something that the teacher was born with, not magic. I can't teach you." Wang Chong didn't expect that Komatou Sakura would be so interested in her own black fog. It's a pity that this power does not belong to this world, and Wang Chong doesn't know how to teach it, so he can only tell the truth.

On the other hand, if Sakura Matou's fate had never been interfered with, and by the time of the Fifth War, if that happened to be the High Fantasy worldline, then Sakura would have been infected by the black mud in the Holy Grail, becoming the black Sakura with white hair. However, now that the black mud of the Greater Holy Grail has been transformed into her own black mist, could it be that the causal connection that led to Sakura's close relationship with the black mist stemmed from the Greater Holy Grail's magical power?

"Is that so..." Sakura Komatou's face showed a bit of loss.

Seeing the lost Xiao Matou Sakura, Wang Chong smiled and said, "In fact, the teacher has already injected a lot of black mist into your body. It has been staying in your body all the time. It's just that it usually doesn't come out on its own. Only when you encounter any danger, Xiaoying, will it naturally come out to protect you."

"This... these? Thank you, teacher." Upon hearing this, Sakura Matou's eyes flashed with surprise. Wang Chong also saw that Sakura Matou wasn't drawn to the black fog, but rather because it protected her and gave her a sense of security. Just like how Sakura Matou slept peacefully last night, enveloped in the black fog. What Sakura lacked wasn't strength, but rather this sense of security.

"You've suffered a lot of injustice." Wang Chong stroked Sakura Matou's little head and looked at her slightly narrowed expression of enjoyment. He thought that she stayed with him because he could make Sakura Matou feel at ease.

"After the Fourth World War is over, I will take Sakura Matou back to the Tohsaka family. Even if we don't go back to the Tohsaka family, living somewhere else is much better than staying here. This place can no longer give Sakura, who has been traumatized, any sense of security." Wang Chong thought to himself.

"Then, let's continue with the lessons. The more you learn, the more helpful it will be to you, Sakura. Your talents will then be fully utilized," Wang Chong said. Matou Sakura nodded obediently, diligently studying magic.

……

"System, give me a regular ten-draw combo and see what goodies I can pull out." After teaching Sakura Matou that morning, Wang Chong left the Matou household and began wandering around Fuyuki City. With nothing else to do, Wang Chong remembered that he had previously taken advantage of a discount to buy ten regular lottery tickets at the mall, so he took the opportunity to draw a card.

"Ding—extraction in progress. Extraction completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the following items: Fool's Chain x3, Love Elixir x2, Blue Black Key, Green Black Key, Red Black Key, Disguise Mask, Passive Skill: Natural Flesh Level C."

"Wdnmd! System, this is all I get after ten ordinary draws? What the hell are these things? Tell me?" Looking at the things he drew out, Wang Chong almost fainted from anger.

"Alas, host, this is all the cheap lottery ticket is for. It would be better to say that being able to draw a skill and a disguise mask that can be used to hide your identity is already quite impressive." The system consoled.

"You can't just throw away all that junk. Why are the materials already here? What's the use of this Fool's Chain? It's not like you can upgrade Heroic Spirits' skills like in the game. And do Heroic Spirits in this world really have a skill upgrade system?"

"Uh...according to the system's detection, there really isn't one."

"Then what are you doing with these chains? To tie people up or to tie them up?" Wang Chong said with a dark face. "And this love elixir. What do you want to do? What do you want from me? Am I someone who's gone mad with hunger?"

"Isn't it? I saw that the host was quite horny this morning."

"You tm...%*(&*...&) (telegraph sound)"

"Alas, host, there are always props that cannot be used. It's just that there is a lack of a suitable opportunity. Who knows, they may come in handy someday. If all else fails, you can feed them to the three sisters behind you... It seems like there is one bottle missing."

"Is this about one bottle being missing? Never mind, I'm too lazy to argue with you. And these black keys, what are you giving me these black keys for? Asking me to go 1v1 with Father Mapo... F*ck! I actually ran into Father Mapo!"

Wang Chong was in the middle of a heated discussion with the system when, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a man standing in the distance at a traffic light. He was wearing a cassock and a cross necklace, standing conspicuously among the crowd waiting to cross the street. If it wasn't Kotomine Kirei, who else could it be?

"It's true... Speak of the devil and he appears. I was originally strolling around Fuyuki City just to see if I could run into anyone familiar. I didn't expect to run into Father Mapo all of a sudden... He looks like he's just strolling around, or is he, like me, checking to see if there are any other Masters present in Fuyuki City?" Wang Chong touched his chin.

"Host, since you have encountered such an important character as Father Mapo, you can try to get in touch with him. You might be able to get a lot of villain points." The system prompted.

"Well, you can... but it needs a slight change. I got this mask at the right time and it can be used." Wang Chong put on the face-changing mask he got, and then he changed his appearance.

"Stheno... the three of you stay away from me and move freely. But be careful not to get discovered." Wang Chong gave orders to the three heroic spirits following him.

"Yes, Master." The three nodded. They were also very curious about the modern world. Since Wang Chong allowed them to move freely, they decided to go along and explore the city. Wang Chong didn't let the three Heroic Spirits follow him because he knew that while Heroic Spirit transformation might be hidden from ordinary people, it would never be hidden from those who were involved with magic, especially someone like Kotomine Kirei.

Then, Wang Chong walked towards Kotomine Kirei with a solemn promise, and began to ponder in his heart: "Should I teach Father Mapo how to feel joy first? Or should I take Father Mapo to eat super spicy Mapo tofu first? Or... either way will help me gain Villain Points. However, if I can subdue a villain like Father Mapo to my side, I will surely earn a lot of Villain Points. Very good, Father Mapo, let me see how much joy you can bring me~"

Chapter 14: Peace of Mind

Kotomine Kirei was a strange person, even he himself considered himself so. Born with personality defects, he could not perceive beauty in things people called beautiful, nor could he forget things many people called ugly. In other words, he could not experience happiness like a normal person. Furthermore, Kotomine Kirei was a person without a sense of self. For the past 26 years, he had always acted according to his father's instructions, never considering what he wanted to do, and never pursuing anything.

Even though he married his wife, Claudia Ordesia, and had a daughter, he still lacked normal human emotions. His wife, Claudia, even committed suicide to help Kotomine Kirei experience normal human emotions. Unfortunately, although Kotomine Kirei was deeply saddened by his wife's death, it wasn't because she was gone, but because he wasn't able to experience her death.

As a result, Kotomine Kirei became increasingly confused about himself. Having been taught by religious doctrine since childhood, he constantly suppressed his own inner qualities. Two years prior, he was chosen by the Holy Grail and, through his father's introduction, temporarily became a disciple of the Japanese magus, Tōsaka Tokiomi, learning magical skills and knowledge. Then, he waited for the Holy Grail War to fully begin a year later, and acted according to Tōsaka Tokiomi's plan.

Kotomine Kirei had no objection to this arrangement, or rather, he simply wouldn't have the slightest thought of objecting, because he was a man without a sense of self. A freak, a guy completely out of tune with normal people.

Today, as usual, he quietly patrolled the city, looking for any threat to the Holy Grail War. Seeing the green light on the street, he slowly followed the flow of people. He had only taken a few steps when Kotomine Kirei stopped on the opposite side of the street. He felt a strong sense of being watched. His intuition as an agent for many years made him immediately aware that he was being watched.

The other person seemed to have no intention of concealing anything, staring at him like that... Was he an ordinary person? No, Kotomine Kirei immediately ruled out that answer. The other person's gaze was completely different from the feeling an ordinary person would give him due to his strange attire. At least, the gaze of an ordinary person wouldn't make him feel threatened.

The person coming must be a master, Kotomine Kirei thought so.

"Da da……"

It was clearly a bustling street, but the sound of the other person approaching was like the sound of footsteps in a quiet alley, so clear, so... pressing. With each step forward, Kotomine Kirei could feel the air thicken a little, and the invisible pressure pressing down on him grow heavier. This also made Kotomine Kirei even more certain that the other person was coming for him.

Are we going to strike here? Kotomine Kirei stared straight ahead, his hands tucked into his robes, ready to pull out the Black Keys. Sweat began to form on his forehead, his nerves began to tingle, and even... he felt a vague sense of anticipation within himself. What was going on? Why? This was clearly a death-threatening situation, yet why did it bring him such excitement?

"Da da!"

Finally, Kotomine Kirei locked onto his target. The other person looked like someone from abroad: blond hair, fair skin, and red eyes. His features were three-dimensional, with a high nose bridge and prominent brow bones—typical European and American traits. However, Kotomine Kirei was certain of one thing: he had never seen this face before. So, there was only one question: why was this person coming for him?

"Hey, Kotomine Kirei." When they were only two meters apart, the blond man spoke. The moment he spoke, Kotomine Kirei felt that he was filled with evil. However, Kotomine Kirei was not surprised that he knew his name. After all, he was coming straight at him, so he must have already investigated him thoroughly.

"Sir... who are you?" Kotomine Kirei said.

"There are too many people here. Don't you think this isn't a suitable place for conversation?" the blond man said with a smile. "Of course, if you disagree, then these beings around here have no reason to exist. This should give your father and your teacher a headache, right?"

This guy actually took the people around him as hostages to threaten him. He was a complete villain, and Kotomine Kirei could judge him that way.

"So, what's your decision, Kotomine Kirei?"

"..."

……

At this moment, Kotomine Kirei followed this strange blond man into the forest. He seemed to have no defenses against him at all, exposing his back to him. Was he stupid, or did he simply not care about his sneak attack? But no matter which one it was, now that they were far away from the city, Kotomine Kirei would not miss this opportunity to kill him.

"call out--"

"Hiss-!"

A sound of piercing air echoed, and Kotomine Kirei instantly pulled out more than a dozen black keys from his robes and threw them out. The entire process took only 0.3 seconds. All of those black keys stabbed into the blond man's back.

"Da da da--"

All the black keys thrown by Kotomine Kirei unexpectedly stuck in the trees. And where the blond man had been, he mysteriously disappeared.

"! Where did you go?" Kotomine Kirei had thought about the other party dodging or using some kind of magic to resist. But he never expected that the other party would disappear in front of him in an instant.

"Are you... looking for me?" A voice suddenly came from behind him, and Kotomine Kirei broke out in a cold sweat. When had the other person gotten behind him? He couldn't even see him with his own eyes.

"Bajiquan!" At such a close distance, Kotomine Kirei turned around without thinking and punched the opponent in the chest.

"boom!!"

This time, Kotomine Kirei was surprised again. The opponent actually used his fist to take his punch.

"Come again!" Kotomine Kirei threw a few more punches, but the opponent seemed to be able to see through his movements completely. He used his fists to collide with his opponent every time, enduring his killing moves again and again.

"Humph, you want to compete in punching speed?" After the golden-haired man took all the punches, he revealed a sinister smile, and then he was heard shouting loudly: "Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da!!"

"So fast!" Kotomine Kirei could only cross his arms, relying on the defensive power of his robes and his own strength to block the opponent's fierce punches. He didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he felt that the opponent's punches were getting faster and faster, and in the end, his eyes couldn't keep up with the opponent's punches.

“Wood big wood big wood big – wood big!!!”

The golden-haired man delivered one last powerful punch, sending Kotomine Kirei flying.

"Pfft...cough!"

Kotomine Kirei collided with a large tree, which was snapped in half by the immense force. Kotomine Kirei spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his internal organs were dislodged. The opponent had actually managed to severely injure him with just physical skills.

"What a terrifying... strange power. Cough, cough, wow..." He spat out another mouthful of blood, the pain in his internal organs undoubtedly warning him of his condition. But for some reason, even though he was seriously injured and should be terrified and in agony, why... why did he feel a surge of excitement, even joy?

"It's strange, isn't it? Why do you feel happy?" Suddenly, the blond man's voice reached Kotomine Kirei's ears. Kotomine Kirei was startled and said subconsciously: "You...how do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Do I need to answer this? Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. You are smiling quite happily now." The blond man's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart.

"Am I laughing? ... I'm laughing." As if asking himself, yet also answering himself, Kotomine Kirei felt like he had grasped something, yet he hadn't grasped anything. Meanwhile, the blond man, hands on his hips, looked down at him from a distance as he sat slumped against the tree roots.

"Kotomine Kirei, have you ever thought about the purpose of human existence?" the man said.

"..." Kotomine Kirei had never thought about the broader scope of humanity, but he had once thought about the question of why he lived... and he had been thinking about this question for more than twenty years, but he still hadn't figured it out clearly.

Seeing his expression, the blond man raised the corners of his mouth. To Kotomine Kirei, the following words were like waves of magic sounds, which made him deeply immersed in them.

“Everyone lives to overcome anxiety and fear and gain a sense of security.”

"A sense of... peace of mind?" Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but ask.

The author says:

Author's words: I have updated four chapters in a row today. I beg readers to give more coins, more votes, and more rewards for the author's hard work. QAQ

Chapter 15: The Savior of the Wicked

"Eh, that's right, a sense of security." The blond man's red pupils stared at Kotomine Kirei like the eyes of a devil, and his words were undoubtedly a devil's whisper, which made Kotomine Kirei tremble in his heart.

"For ordinary people, having fame, dominating others, making money... these many human desires and pursuits are all for the sake of making oneself feel at ease. Getting married and making friends are also for the sake of making oneself feel at ease. Saying that one hopes to be able to help others, saying that it is for love and peace... all of this is for the sake of making oneself feel at ease. The pursuit of a sense of security is the ultimate purpose of human life." He said so.

"..." Kotomine Kirei wanted to refute the other party, but he felt that his words truly penetrated the essence of those mortals' pursuit of many desires. He knew that the other party was a heretic, and the teachings and beliefs he had learned since childhood constantly reminded him not to believe his words. But he didn't know why... He wanted to continue listening. Such conflicting emotions brewed in his heart, and for a moment Kotomine Kirei remained silent.

The blond man seemed to see Kotomine Kirei's inner struggle. He raised his hand, pointed at Kotomine Kirei's chest, and said, "You can't feel happiness like a normal person, right?"

"!!!" Like a lightning strike that struck deep within his soul, the other man was like the demon within him, and his secrets were easily revealed in the sunlight. The blond man blocked the sunlight, his shadow slowly lengthening as time passed, until it touched Kotomine Kirei's feet.

"Following your father's teachings, you joined the church, learned all that complex knowledge, married and had children, and now you've returned to participate in the Holy Grail War... But, Kotomine Kirei, have you ever felt the slightest bit of happiness? Have you ever wondered why you can't feel this happiness?"

Word by word, like a sharp awl, it sliced ​​through Kotomine Kirei's brain, laying his entire past before him. A cold sweat broke out on Kotomine Kirei, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. Compared to the terrifying power of his previous weapon, the opponent's methods, which cut directly into his heart, were like a demon crawling out of hell, scrutinizing him and toying with him.

"No... never... why?" As for Erfeng Kirei, he could only give the answer, like a lamb that had stepped into a trap, unable to turn back. He wanted to know why, he wanted to know the answer.

"As I said before, people live in this world to seek a sense of security. Only when you feel at ease can you feel happiness. And with everything you've experienced, Kotomine Kirei, has it ever truly made you feel the slightest bit of peace of mind?" He replied, "Kotomine Kirei, you have no goals, no pursuits. Everything about you is arranged by your father. How can such a life, such experiences, bring you peace of mind? You've never found what brings you peace of mind, so naturally, you'll never know what you want to do."

"..." Speechless, Kotomine Kirei had no doubt about the other party's words. After a moment of silence, he could only speak, "Then... what exactly is it that can give me peace of mind? What exactly is it that can bring me happiness? How can I pursue that thing?!"

Kotomine Kirei was desperate. For over 20 years, no one had known what he was thinking, and now, in a single day, the man before him had revealed it all. He desperately wanted the answer to the question that had troubled him for countless years. Even though he knew the man before him was a "devil." Even though he carried over 20 years of teachings and faith, at this moment, he still reached out and made a deal with the "devil."

"Huh, you really don't know?"

But what Kotomine Kirei waited for wasn't a direct answer, but a rhetorical question. This left Kotomine Kirei stunned. However, the other party didn't intend to tease him completely. Instead, he walked towards him slowly and said, "Perhaps before today, you really didn't know the answer to this question. But after everything you've just experienced, do you really not know the answer?"

"Om-"

His soul trembled as Kotomine Kirei recalled everything that had just happened. His heart had never been so joyful as it was now.

"Hey, it seems you thought of it, Kotomine Kirei." The "Blond Devil" stood completely in front of Kotomine Kirei, and his shadow completely enveloped Kotomine Kirei's body. The light shone brightly under the man's golden hair. It was obviously a very holy scene, but now it was full of weirdness and evil.

"From the moment I approached you step by step, from the moment I brought you a shock of strength, from the moment I severely damaged you, from the moment I kept digging into your heart. You smiled, four times in total." He stretched out four fingers on one hand, pointed at his face with the other, and revealed a strange smile.

"Ah..." Kotomine Kirei understood. He finally knew how to seek the answer. He forced himself to kneel on one knee before the other. Seeing Kotomine Kirei's actions, the "Blond Devil" smiled even brighter, a grin like a true demon, and uttered a final whisper:

"That's right, Kirei. Only I can bring you peace of mind. Only I can guarantee you eternal peace of mind. Because, only I know what kind of person you are. Because we are the same kind of people... This is why I came to you, Kirei. So now tell me, what is your choice?"

What is the price of making a deal with the devil? As someone who grew up in the Holy Church, Kotomine Kirei naturally knows it all too well.

"I will dedicate everything I have, even my soul. I will respect you as I respect God. This is my loyalty." Kotomine Kirei lowered his head and said.

"Then, accept this gift and feel at peace..." A black mist surged from the "Blond Demon," completely enveloping Kotomine Kirei. Kotomine Kirei offered no resistance, allowing the power to wash over his body and even his soul.

"Ah... a sense of peace I've never felt before... So, is this happiness?" Kotomine Kirei felt a sense of spiritual dependence and peace of mind. This was what he had always sought, and now the demon had brought him the answer. Kotomine Kirei laughed again, a laugh so joyful that he even burst into laughter. After selling his soul to the demon, the doctrines and conscience that had bound him for so many years were now completely untied. Kotomine Kirei had never felt his soul so light, so relaxed. It was as if he had ascended to heaven.

A demon? No, He is God. The only God Kotomine Kirei believes in now—God!

……

"Ding—Congratulations to the host, for conquering the A-rank villain Kotomine Kirei with your charisma. You've won countless villains submission, causing them to shout and respect you from the bottom of their hearts. You are the savior of villains. 1000 Villain Points are awarded! One epic lucky draw is awarded! The halo is [Savior of Villains]! Current Villain Points are 1130."

"Halo Description: [Savior of Villains]: Wearing this halo will significantly increase the host's villain charisma and gain a certain degree of villain deterrence, inspiring awe. It can inspire admiration from fellow villains, earning their favor and even submission. The stronger the host, the greater the effect."

"Good, very good... It's worth all the time I've put in. I have to admit, Dio's quotes are really useful. The big yellow-haired villain is indeed a natural nemesis for the priest. Hehehe... Hahahahaha!" Wang Chong was already beaming with joy as he looked at his 1000 extra villain bonus points. Not to mention the epic lottery and a very effective halo.

If he hadn't wanted to maintain that air of mystery in front of Kotomine Kirei, he would have burst out laughing. He had easily subdued a younger brother, and even received a substantial reward. Today's harvest was truly bountiful.

"I can't wait for the Fourth Holy Grail War. What a pity! I just heard from Kotomine Kirei that the Holy Grail War won't start for another year... That's right. I remember that Sakura was indeed adopted into the Matou family a year before the Holy Grail War began, and then she was thrown into the insect room a few days later. When I arrived at the Matou family, since Sakura didn't suffer any harm and Matou Kariya didn't come back, it's naturally a year before the Holy Grail War in the timeline." Wang Chong began to think.

Chapter 16 Teaching Father Mapo

"No, I can't wait that long. Do I have to keep an eye on Kotomine Kirei, Sakura and the others every day for a year, and use small things to take advantage of those characters? Although it's not impossible, it would be too boring. Besides, I already mastered the Holy Grail a long time ago, so there is no need to worry too much. I have to start the Holy Grail War in advance. It should start in a month at the latest. System, is there any way?" Wang Chong asked.

"Host... isn't a year of preparation enough? You can develop slowly?" said the system.

"I always feel like I'm being watched by something. If I'm not mistaken, as a time traveler, since I've had contact with the present world, there's no way Alaya and Gaia wouldn't know about it. If I stay in this world for too long, something will change. The Type-Moon world is good, and it's quite comfortable to develop in a small circle in the early stages. Unfortunately, there are too many big guys in this world. If I make a big move, I'm afraid I'll be calculated by those big guys. I don't want to engage in intrigue with those old coins so early." Wang Chong shook his head and said.

"System, I remember the introduction of the Dimension House in the system store said that it has the ability to connect to various worlds. In other words, I can't just stick to the Type-Moon world in the future, right?" Wang Chong said.

"That's right... If the host starts the main quest of this world and completes it, there will be a reward for traveling to another world. Then the host can go to other worlds to gain experience and obtain resources." The system replied.

"As expected, my guess was correct. With this, the progress of the Holy Grail War will be accelerated in no time. So, system, do you have any ideas?" Wang Chong asked.
