A Villain's Journey Begins in the Type-Moon World

Wang Chong wasn't too surprised to hear this news. After all, he had laid the groundwork and had Stheno subtly influence Kiritsugu Emiya's judgment with her own skills, making it inevitable that Kiritsugu would be killed by Gilgamesh.

"Warning, warning—Please note that the Beyond Heaven effect you applied to the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu was detected and cleared by the Counter Force the moment of death. The Counter Force is reading relevant information and reassessing your threat level." Just then, the system's warning suddenly rang out.

"What? The effect of Beyond Heaven was actually canceled by the suppressing force? As expected, there is a limit to the upper limit of Beyond Heaven. After all, it can be canceled by something like the remains of a saint. There's no reason why it can't be resolved by a world-class will. Tsk, it's a good thing I didn't try to make Beyond Heaven affect Earth."

Upon hearing the system's alert, Wang Chong also discovered some limitations of Beyond Heaven.

"Host, this is actually because your mental willpower is not strong enough. The upper limit of any rule-based ability is often linked to one's own effort. Therefore, as long as the host's willpower is constantly tempered, or as the understanding of the laws of the world deepens, then it will naturally be possible to change the will of a planet," the system said.

"However, host, you should not worry about that for now. What you should really be concerned about now is that you have once again attracted the attention of the Counter Force. If this matter is not handled well, the Counter Force may send even more powerful beings to deal with you, which may not be conducive to your plans."

After saying that, the system sighed: "Host, your act of killing the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu was still a bit reckless. Actually, the Counter Force's information about you was somewhat delayed, after all, you are not a native creature to them, and there are no records of you. They only discovered the strength that the Master displayed when you were fighting against Alba and Araya Souren, so they only sent a Heroic Spirit like Kiritsugu to punish you."

"But now, you have killed the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu. Kiritsugu will bring back his observations and analysis to the Wheel of Restraint. Although it is unclear how much information Kiritsugu brought back will be assessed by the Restraint after the distortion effect is broken, it is clear that the enemy you will face next will probably not be so easy to deal with. The Restraint may even have to intervene personally."

"Hmph, as expected, this damned suppressive force, killing one of its guardians, will not make it stop there." Wang Chong seemed to have expected this, and snorted coldly.

"Without the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu covering for us, how can we hide the fact that something is wrong from the Counter Force... and how can we fight against the Counter Force?" The system was somewhat troubled. It began to search through the panel and items to see if there were any related services that could help Wang Chong block this information leak.

Wang Chong chuckled and said, "It's very simple—I'll just become a suppressor."

After speaking, Wang Chong's aura was no longer concealed in the slightest, revealing himself as a true ancestral royal!

He put his arm around Arcueid, who, though puzzled as to why Wang Chong was releasing such a strong aura of a True Ancestor, followed suit. Two auras of legitimate True Ancestor royalty rose within Wang Chong's residence.

Wang Chong then chanted:

I knew from a young age that the journey would be arduous; the rolling black fog dissipated over the human world.

Beautiful women and lovely ladies admire him; hand in hand, they share wonderful moments.

He changed his disguise several times, painstakingly and personally involved himself in the situation.

Winning by half a point is against all reason; it's deceiving the people and even the heavens!

System: Holy crap...

Chapter 302 Manor Construction

"Host, are you trying to become a suppressor? You're trying to become a supreme being!" the system couldn't help but complain.

"However, it's fortunate that the host was able to come up with such a risky method. It succeeded because the host's own luck value is high enough, coupled with the True Ancestor Royal Aura you just released, and Arcueid being bound to you and providing corroboration, so the Alaya-side suppressing force regards you as the Gaia-side suppressing force, and therefore remains silent for the time being, without continuing to pursue the matter or sending personnel over, but intends to observe for a while longer."

Indeed, the collective consciousness represented by the restraining force is not composed of only one side, but rather two. One is the prayer of humanity: the prayer to avoid destruction, namely [Alaya] (primates); the other is the prayer of the planet: the prayer to prolong life, namely [Gaia] (the planet).

Both aim to prolong the current world, appearing at the moment a crucial factor in world destruction occurs to erase that factor. Originally, Wang Chong's identity as a transmigrator attracted the attention of the Counterforce. Furthermore, Wang Chong swiftly used the power of ruin to control the Fuyuki Spirit Vein and the Accelerator Grail, making him the most likely human to step into the [Vortex of Origin] (Aksha Records).

However, the Counterforce relentlessly blocks humanity's path to the "Vortex of the Root" (Aksha Records). This is because the Counterforce judges that humanity should not acquire this power; if an individual were to succeed, it would cause the very meaning of humanity's existence as a whole to vanish. Simply put, if a magician were to reach the Root, humanity as a whole might be altered, and humanity as a whole might be destroyed.

Regardless of Wang Chong's reasons for coming to this world, his identity is essentially still human. Therefore, whether from the perspective of destroying the world or destroying humanity, if Wang Chong arrives at the [Vortex of Origin] as a human, it will lead to either of these outcomes.

This is why Wang Chong has always been targeted by the Restrictive Force. Transmigrators are destabilizing factors that threaten the world, and are therefore hostile to the Gaia-side Restrictive Force. Humanity's mastery of the [Vortex of Origin] is a destabilizing factor that threatens humanity, and is therefore hostile to the Alaya-side Restrictive Force.

This time, however, Wang Chong exploited a loophole by taking advantage of his identity. Since the Counterforce was determined to oppose him no matter what, and he was currently no match for it, what should he do? Well, as the saying goes, if you can't beat them, join them. Based on this principle, Wang Chong simply became a member of the Counterforce's side.

And coincidentally, the most suitable identity is that of a True Ancestor royal family member, which he unexpectedly acquired. True Ancestors are symbols of planetary sensitivity, unmistakably representatives of Gaia's suppressor force. Especially since Wang Chong's identity isn't just any ordinary True Ancestor; he's now a True Ancestor royal family member with Arcueid's help. In this way, the hostility of Gaia's suppressor force towards him naturally disappears. I can't exactly kill myself, can I? (laughs)

As for Alaya, it's even simpler. You think humans shouldn't master the [Vortex of Origin]? You think humans have limits? Then I'll just quit being human! Yay!

Clearly, with his true royal lineage revealed, coupled with the presence of the powerful and established Arcueid as a witness, and the influence of his own high luck, Alaya naturally withdrew the kill order against him.

Hmm? As for your question about whether you're not afraid that Alaya or Gaia will notice something's wrong? Putting aside your own high luck value, Alaya and Gaia are two precious beings who have achieved the GG endings in Steel Continent and Moon Coral. How intelligent do you think they are? They don't have that ability, you know?

"Now the problem of the suppressor is temporarily resolved. Host, you can now rest assured that you will win this Holy Grail War completely," the system said happily.

"Hmm, now I can go back without worry." Wang Chong also vaguely sensed that the gaze that had been secretly watching him had vanished without a trace. It seemed that that little bitch Alaya had been successfully fooled and was acting as if nothing had happened.

"Dimensional House open, teleporting in progress." With that system notification, Wang Chong and Arcueid were transported into the Dimensional House's small world. After a dizzying spin, the two successfully returned to the Dimensional House's small world.

"Mmm~ It feels so good. The air here is so fresh and sweet. My body is getting a little excited. There's no doubt that the natural environment here is perfect for all kinds of creatures to live in." This was Arcueid's first time officially stepping into Wang Chong's little world.

Previously, because she was isolated inside the Master Sphere, she hadn't been able to directly experience the rich etheric and magical elements, as well as the various mysterious substances, of this world. Now, being there in person, she's truly discovering the beauty of this small world. If she could, she'd want to move the entire Millennium City here to live.

"Perfect timing, Arcueid. Using your senses, where do you think would be the most suitable place for us to settle down?" Wang Chong said with a smile. True Ancestors, being naturally born spirits, possess a keen perception of their environment and layout. In a sense, True Ancestors are undoubtedly the most powerful feng shui masters.

"Wait a minute, let me sense it carefully." Hearing that Wang Chong had entrusted him with the task of selecting a site for building the house, Arcueid became excited and began to use his abilities to carefully sense the flow of various energies in the air. Then he pointed in a certain direction and said, "This way!"

Then, Arcueid led Wang Chong along the road until they reached a place near a lake. He pointed to a flat area a little distance from the lake and said, "This is the best spot. All the magical energy flows converge here."

"Indeed, it's quite nice, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with a view of the forest. And the location just happens to be in the central area of ​​this small world." Wang Chong pulled up the spatial layout map of the Dimensional House, roughly understood where his chosen house was, and then unhesitatingly took out a deluxe building card from his system inventory.

"Use the luxury building card here?" A window popped up on the system panel after picking up the building card. Wang Chong didn't even need to think before choosing to use it. Then, the card lit up with a golden light, which then dispersed into countless golden dots, covering an area equivalent to 1000 acres, arranged in various shapes, vaguely resembling a huge manor building.

Soon, the golden light began to materialize, and the ground automatically sank to form a suitable foundation. Then, a huge manor appeared before Arcueid and Wang Chong.

"Hmm? Did you design this using your power of imagination materialization, Wang Chong?" Arcueid looked at the huge manor with curiosity. She wasn't surprised by the sudden appearance of such a giant manor, since she herself could use her imagination materialization ability to directly materialize the Millennium City.

"I'm afraid the ability to materialize fantasy can't be used in this world, right? After all, that's Gaia's authority, only applicable to the Type-Moon world." Wang Chong couldn't help but complain inwardly, but on the surface he just nodded slightly, since such an explanation could save a lot of trouble.

"This house is much bigger than the one we bought before. I reckon it could easily accommodate 100 people. But it's already late at night, and everyone's probably asleep in the castle. Let's wait until tomorrow during the day before letting them move in," Wang Chong assessed to himself.

"Arquette, go and choose a room as your bedroom. You can rest well in there later." Wang Chong scanned the various panels related to the manor. All the furniture was already in place, each room had a private bathroom, and the entire house had a self-cleaning function, so there was no need to worry about dirt or mess.

“And what about you, Wang Chong?” Arcueid asked.

“I still have some things to take care of on that island in the sky. But there’s no rush to go now. After you’ve chosen your room and eaten something, I’ll set off,” Wang Chong said with a smile.

Chapter 303 Various Dimensional Buildings

Although Arcueid was somewhat reluctant to see Wang Chong leave, and even wanted to share a room with him, Wang Chong, considering his many beautiful and helpless spirits, and adhering to the principle of treating everyone equally, naturally wouldn't show favoritism.

Therefore, Wang Chong could only politely refuse Arcueid and then coaxed and fed her delicious food before he finally managed to appease Arcueid and get her to lie down on the bed to rest.

After seeing Arcueid officially taking a break, Wang Chong left the manor. However, instead of heading to the Hanging Gardens immediately, he planned to first use several other items related to the Dimensional House.

After randomly selecting a hill near the manor, he used the Dimensional Mine Card on it. Soon, the hill began to change; not only did it rise from the ground, but a mine entrance automatically appeared, along with rails and minecarts.

Driven by curiosity, Wang Chong roughly figured out the rules of the mine. As described in the introduction, it could operate automatically. Each day, a minecart would automatically enter the mine and return fully loaded with resources. However, it was important to note that if the minecart's resources weren't collected in time, it wouldn't depart the following day, until all the resources were taken.

Of course, the mine doesn't only offer automatic mining. Manual mining is also available, allowing you to directly enter the mine and extract resources. The amount you obtain far exceeds the capacity of the mining trucks; you can mine over a dozen truckloads of resources if you want.

However, resources are not unlimited, at least not in the short term. Mine resources are refreshed monthly, so as long as the mining volume has not reached the limit, there is no need to worry about running out of resources.

"Host, you can spend points to upgrade the mine's capacity later. Currently, the mine's resource limit is 1000 tons. The daily output is between 0.5 and 10 tons, and the monthly output is approximately 15 to 300 tons. You can spend points to upgrade the mine, and then not only will the limit increase, but the output will also increase," the system reminded you.

"Wait, why are the output figures fluctuating so much?" Wang Chong asked, frowning.

"Because of value. Some resources, although heavy, are essentially waste, so they are produced in large quantities at once. But some resources are extremely rare and valuable, so the output is naturally less, and it is even possible that only one unit of the resource is produced per day," the system explained.

"I see. Let me see how many points are needed for the next upgrade... What? 1 points?" Seeing this exorbitant price, Wang Chong felt that all the villain points he had painstakingly accumulated might have vanished.

"Resources are like this, host. You can't feel their value now because you haven't seen the value created when these resources are used by the right people. But right now, you have several powerful magicians in your team, including one who is connected to the Root. If that person makes good use of these resources, who knows what kind of surprises they might create for you," the system said with a smile.

"Aige and the others? Yes, perhaps they really can bring me some unexpected surprises. It's just that 1 points is indeed a bit too expensive. As far as the current production is concerned, it should be enough," Wang Chong said.

"By the way, host, I suggest you go to the item shop and buy this Dimensional Warehouse Card, then build it in your Dimensional Home. All kinds of resources produced daily will be automatically collected into this warehouse and automatically categorized. It will be very convenient for you to do storage and categorization work."

"Don't think that storing things in the warehouse is a bit of a waste. After all, although your system space can hold an endless amount of things, you don't want to have a pile of stones sitting in it, do you? And these resources can't always be made to run back and forth to deliver them to the people who use them, right? With the warehouse, Ayaka Sajou, Touko Aozaki, and the others can go to the warehouse to get their own goods," the system said.

"Seeing how enthusiastically you recommend it, you must want my villain points again, right? Tell me, how much will it cost this time?" Wang Chong was quite tempted after hearing this, so he asked.

"The original price was 500 villain points, but it's currently discounted to only 400 villain points. How about that, pretty good deal, right? And its capacity is quite large; overall, it can easily accommodate the maximum resource output of 1000 tons from the mine. It also has upgrade functions to expand its capacity. When it's upgraded to the highest level 5, it will become like the system space, with no upper limit," the system said with a smile.

"Unlimited capacity? But who knows how many villain points that would cost? Buying one is just right though." Wang Chong didn't hesitate to buy it and chose a good, easily accessible location to use the dimensional warehouse. Soon, an ordinary-looking warehouse appeared before him.

Wang Chong tested the warehouse's functions and discovered that he couldn't directly enter through the main door. To retrieve items from the warehouse, he could select them on the electronic display screen next to it. After confirming the selection, the warehouse door would automatically open, and the desired items would be displayed in front of the door.

“It’s an interesting design, but I’m worried that Rin Tohsaka won’t use this high-end stuff,” Wang Chong said.

"It doesn't matter to the host. The warehouse also supports intelligent voice functionality, providing thoughtful and comprehensive service. There's absolutely no need to worry about users not being able to learn how to use it," the system said.

"Your stuff has a lot of weird and wonderful functions." Wang Chong didn't know where to begin his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments).

"The warehouse issue is resolved, and so is the mine. Next up is the soil... Oh right, let's upgrade the warehouse first. I checked, and it's not expensive. It only costs 1000 villain points to upgrade to Lv2." Wang Chong clicked the upgrade button on his personal warehouse permission panel.

"Ding—You have consumed 1000 villain points. Combined with the 400 villain points consumed previously, your current remaining villain points are: 10000 points," the system said.

Afterwards, Wang Chong chose a large open area behind the manor and used the Dimensional Soil Card. A 100-acre area of ​​soil suitable for cultivation and rapid growth appeared in Wang Chong's eyes.

Then, Wang Chong used the power of the black mist to cut down a tree, quickly transforming it into a fence to enclose the area. The soil's fertility was refreshed periodically, so there was no need to worry about insufficient nutrients. It would be exceptionally suitable for planting both rare herbs and common fruits and vegetables.

"The soil card hasn't been upgraded. However, you can keep buying the same type of item card from the shop to expand your scale. Of course, you can also use it in different areas to plant completely different kinds of things. It's just that 1000 villain points for one card is a bit pricey. But since it's a fixed red category, you don't have to worry about not being able to find this card when the daily items refresh."

After examining the area and finding no problems, Wang Chong officially flew towards the Sky Garden. He had already used all three cards; now he needed to check on his Heroic Spirits in the Sky Garden and inquire about the progress of Aozaki Touko's body repair.

“Joan of Arc and Artoria haven’t woken up yet. It’s alright, even if they do, I can still control the situation now. Let’s deal with Madam’s matter first.” Wang Chong thought to himself.

……

They quickly toured the residential area of ​​the Sky Garden. The children were sound asleep, but most of their Heroic Spirits were awake. However, Heroic Spirits, having transcended mortal form, had less need for sleep; for them, sleep was more of a way to pass the time. Or perhaps they would sleep to relive the feeling of a dream. Most of the time, they remained awake.

Surprisingly, there were no servants attempting a night raid on his room tonight, which quite surprised Wang Chong. However, since he was going to his wife's place tonight anyway, they wouldn't be able to find him even if they launched a night raid.

"Let's go to Aozaki Touko's place." After checking the status of each Servant, Wang Chong walked towards Aozaki Touko's workshop.

Chapter 304 Irisviel's New Body

Upon arriving at Aozaki Touko's workshop, Wang Chong was about to knock on the door when Aozaki Touko unexpectedly opened it.

"You really arrived right on time." Aozaki Touko wasn't too surprised to see Wang Chong blocking her entrance, because she knew very well how much her employer cared about this body.

"Come in, the body is ready." Aozaki Touko led Wang Chong into the workshop. Soon, Wang Chong saw a graceful body covered with a white veil on the experimental table. Upon closer inspection, it was almost identical to Irisviel's, with no discernible difference.

Wang Chong could even sense the faint stirrings of life and the sound of breathing. This surprised him greatly. He had originally thought that once this body was created, it would be no different from an ordinary inanimate object before a new soul was implanted into it. He never expected that this body would actually be "alive".

"Does it seem a little different from what you imagined? There's a difference between the concepts of limbs and a complete body. But the underlying logic is the same: we must ensure its vitality... It's just that the body needs to be made more realistic, more thorough." As if noticing Wang Chong's surprise, Aozaki Touko chuckled, pointed to the body in front of her, and said:

"The newly formed body before you is no different from a normal human being. It can breathe, metabolize and transform, and possesses magic circuits of the same scale. All of its components are no different from those of an ordinary magician... to be precise, it is no different from the original owner, and even has the same blood and genes as the original owner."

"This isn't puppet magic at all... it's practically cloning." Wang Chong couldn't help but complain. He even received a similar evaluation on the system's panel: a perfect human body (capable of housing a soul).

“You could understand it as cloning, but cloned products are still somewhat different from the original at the genetic level, and may even have some defects. The doll body I created, however, is a perfect replica of the original body,” Aozaki Touko said.

“Of course, it’s not entirely without difference from the original body. For example, a body is just a body. It does have life characteristics, it can breathe, it can metabolize, but it lacks a soul.” Aozaki Touko lightly tapped the forehead of the body with her finger and said, “I used special magic to fix the state of the body, making it temporarily unable to accommodate a soul. In this way, it will never develop consciousness, and it will never be possessed by any accidental wandering ghosts.”

"The seal can only be broken by using special methods or meeting special conditions. For example, my spare bodies... those bodies are all bound to my soul. As long as the body my soul is currently in is destroyed, the soul will automatically and randomly transfer to a new body, and the seal on that body will be broken as a result."

"If you intend to use it now, I can break the seal. Of course, it's best to do it with both bodies together first. This way, not only can the souls be bound in advance, but it can also prevent some messy spiritual particles from entering this body and forming new consciousness."

After Aozaki Touko finished speaking, she looked at Wang Chong and said, "Well? Are you ready to begin the soul transfer surgery now?"

"Okay, let's begin. I'll take you to her room now." Wang Chong reached out and enveloped the body in black mist. Aozaki Touko glanced at the special technique Wang Chong used with a hint of interest, then followed him out of the workshop and headed towards Irisviel's room.

……

On the soft, large bed lay two identical bodies. After carefully examining both bodies, Aozaki Touko nodded and said, "The data you provided is quite accurate. The compatibility between my soul and this new body is even higher than I expected. It's basically the same as the compatibility between my spare bodies and my soul."

"Furthermore, the Einzbern family's android technology has indeed given me a lot of inspiration... especially this technique for fusing the Lesser Grail with the body... No wonder I always felt like something crucial was missing when I was creating this body. Fortunately, by referring to other androids and combining your android technology based on my Einzbern family, I have made up for it. Now it seems that the crucial part was the crucial Lesser Grail technique."

Aozaki Touko looked at Irisviel on her left and adjusted her glasses: "From the moment she was born, her mission was to protect and become the Lesser Grail. The Lesser Grail is like her heart. Therefore, this body simply cannot take away the Lesser Grail; to do so would be tantamount to robbing her of her life."

"Then we can begin the corresponding magic ritual, right?" Wang Chong asked.

"Yes, no problem. We can start anytime... It just depends on which method you plan to use. Do you want to use the body binding method, so that her consciousness and soul will automatically transfer to the new body after the old body becomes the Holy Grail, or do you want me to transfer it directly? Of course, if it's a direct transfer, I will also seal the old body and let it transform into the Lesser Holy Grail normally, so that a new consciousness will not be born."

As she spoke, Aozaki Touko spread out a white cloth on the ground and began to draw a magic circle on it.

"Assuming a binding, if her old body remains unchanged or the Holy Grail is destroyed or she dies, can it still be directly transferred?" Wang Chong asked.

“If you have the means to directly separate the soul from the body, then you can transfer it. After being bound, the new body will remain sealed, but when the bound soul gets close, the seal will automatically be released, and the soul can be easily put in. However, in this case, the old body will not be sealed, and there is a high possibility of evil spirits entering the body... Of course, if you have a way to prevent this, then it’s fine,” Aozaki Touko said.

"In that case... it's quite feasible. And this way, the old body can also be inhabited by a new consciousness to control it, right?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

"It's possible... You're not having some terrible ideas again, are you?" Aozaki Touko's eyelids twitched involuntarily when she heard Wang Chong say this, and she asked.

"Anyway, it won't be long before this old body loses its functions due to the Holy Grail absorbing too much of the Heroic Spirits' soul energy. I also happen to have a small experiment I want to complete." Wang Chong smiled mysteriously, without explaining what he was going to do.

"Do as you please... Since you've chosen to bind them, the process will be much simpler." After Aozaki Touko finished speaking, she completed the final inscription of the magic circle, then turned her head and said, "That's enough. Place both bodies on the white cloth."

Wang Chong quickly finished everything. Aozaki Touko, citing technical confidentiality, asked Wang Chong to stay outside the room for the time being. Standing outside the door, Wang Chong vaguely heard some obscure and difficult-to-understand notes, and then a large amount of magical energy in the air was rapidly flowing into the room.

Once the magical storm in the air subsided, Wang Chong heard footsteps approaching the door. Aozaki Touko opened the door, looking slightly tired, and said, "It's done. The soul has successfully bound to the new body. Now you can do whatever you want with it. Oh, by the way, the one tied with the red rope is the new body being sealed, so don't get it wrong. If there's nothing else, I'll go back and get some rest."

"Thank you for your hard work." Wang Chong made way, watching Aozaki Touko yawn and walk towards her workshop. Wang Chong then re-entered the room and saw that both Irisviels had already gone back to bed. There was some dust on the floor, indicating that the white cloth with the magic circle engraved on it had been burned by the excessive magic power.

"The decree has been made!" Wang Chong manipulated the power of ruin and began to connect with Irisviel's soul. Then, a pale white figure was drawn out by Wang Chong. He slowly brought it close to the new body, and sure enough, the seal on the body immediately loosened, showing signs of being broken.

"Very well, then Irisviel's final descent can begin. But before that, I need to make thorough preparations; I don't want to be disturbed." Thinking this through, Wang Chong then placed Irisviel's soul back into her original body and temporarily left the room.
