“The stronger the Master, the better they can protect us, right? All we need is beauty and blessings for our Masters~” Euryale said in the same way.
"It's been almost half an hour... Master should be alright, right?" Little Medusa was more concerned about Wang Chong's current situation. He had been casting the spell for so long, and she wondered how he was doing.
However, there are indeed changes. Both Jeanne Alter and Irisviel exude a completely different aura than before. The difference in their strength is secondary; the most important thing is that their life level has changed.
Furthermore, the two have undergone tremendous changes in appearance. Jeanne Alter has gone from having short hair to having hair that reaches her calves, and the style of her armor has also changed, from pure black to a black with a hint of purple.
Yes, it's basically gone from the initial state to the fully ascended stage.
Meanwhile, Irisviel, who had been wearing her usual clothes, was now dressed in the Einzbern family's exclusive Heavenly Garment, appearing both noble and divine. The Einzbern family dolls around her were already completely convinced of her superiority.
The miracle of the Third Law finally reappeared before their eyes, so it was only natural for them to serve their new master.
With her body materialized from her soul, Irisviel naturally became the new head of the Einzbern family, gaining the approval of everyone.
"It's about to end." Sajou Aika was the first to notice something was wrong. She jumped down and ran towards Wang Chong with small, quick steps.
Sure enough, the light and aura surrounding the three of them began to slowly fade. Wang Chong opened his eyes, lowered his hands, and was about to say something when he suddenly realized that someone was pressing against his back.
"Your Highness~ Hehe~ Congratulations on obtaining the third law." Sajō Aika kept rubbing her little face against her from behind, saying with a grin.
"This little girl." Wang Chong let Sajou Aika hug him like that, then looked at Jeanne d'Arc Alter and Irisviel in front of him and said, "How are you two feeling?"
"This overflowing magic... so this is what it feels like after the soul has materialized. Every inch of my body can be perceived and controlled by my own will... I feel completely integrated."
After sensing the power within her body, Irisviel was filled with excitement. At the same time, her life was no longer bound by the physical body; she was ageless, ageless, and without any flaws.
Wang Chong nodded, then looked at Jeanne d'Arc Alter and asked, "Jeanne d'Arc Alter, what about you?"
"The magic is indeed endless, and is this what it feels like to have a real body? It doesn't seem like much has changed... My hair has grown longer... This is so troublesome... Oh! I can just pull it back..."
Jeanne Alter was also adjusting her body. She reached out and tucked her long hair behind her ear, but it felt a bit cumbersome. After a moment's thought, she discovered that she could actually control the length of her hair.
It seems that this is also a manifestation of the materialization of the soul. Even a single hair is part of the body, under control, and will not easily disappear.
Therefore, Jeanne Alter also returned her cascading long hair to its original short style, and couldn't help but say, "I'm definitely more used to it this way..."
Suddenly, Jeanne d'Arc (Alter) frowned slightly and stopped speaking. She noticed a fleeting hint of regret in someone's eyes.
Then Jeanne Alter closed her eyes, and her short hair transformed back into long, white hair like a waterfall.
"How come it's changed back again?" Wang Chong grinned and said.
"A new hairstyle, a new mood... Hmph." Jeanne Alter turned her head to the side, then tucked her hair behind her ear, her face flushing slightly. She then whispered, "Do...do you like it?"
"Yes, I like it very much, it suits you very well," Wang Chong said with a smile.
"Oh...oh..." For a moment, Jeanne d'Arc stammered and couldn't speak. Wang Chong patted her shoulder, gesturing for her to come to his side first.
Then, Jeanne Alter and Irisviel stood on either side of Wang Chong. Wang Chong looked at the Einzbern dolls in front of him and nodded slightly after seeing their submissive expressions. After all, they were androids, and their minds were much simpler than those of humans.
"You all now submit to me as your master, do you still have any objections?" Wang Chong said calmly.
"No objection," the group of puppets said.
"In that case, from this day forward, there will be no Einzbern magic family in the world. There will only be a family of retainers named Einzbern under my command, Wang Chong. Irisviel will be the head of the Einzbern family."
After Wang Chong finished speaking, he first looked at Irisviel, then at Sera, the puppet who had spoken to him earlier. He then said:
"Sera, you are the steward of the Einzbern family. Assist Irisviel in managing the Einzbern family well. You can handle the personnel arrangements of the Einzbern family yourself."
"The functions that the entire clan will perform in the Dimensional House will remain basically the same as those you will perform in Snow City. I will compile the specific responsibilities and hand them over to you tomorrow."
"Finally, all those who perform exceptionally well will have the opportunity to receive the honor of the Third Law. As long as you perform your duties diligently, that honor will naturally fall upon you."
"Is everything I've said clear? Do you have any further objections?"
Wang Chong looked around, and after hearing the whole speech, especially the last sentence that bestowed upon them the honor of the Third Law, a hint of fanaticism flashed in the eyes of the puppets. How could they possibly have any objections?
"Well then... welcome everyone to join us," Wang Chong said with a smile.
……
Soon, these dolls were gradually moved into the manor. Fortunately, his manor was large enough that even several hundred people could live there without any problem, and even if the number exceeded that, he could continue to expand the manor.
During this process, Servants and magicians alike came to Wang Chong to inquire about what had just happened. After receiving Wang Chong's explanation, the Servants began to have their minds set on the matter of soul materialization.
"Hmph, Master, you didn't even come to us right away when such a good thing happened."
It was Euryale who spoke. After hearing that Jeanne Alter had been given a human body and no longer needed to rely on her Master's magic to remain in the mortal world forever, it was impossible for her not to feel envious.
The three goddesses are all aware that they are Heroic Spirits, understanding that they are merely a fleeting record of the past. The time they spend together ultimately depends on their Master and is short-lived. Even though they understand that such a powerful Master can extend this "short-lived" time indefinitely, a fleeting record is still just a fleeting record.
But if their souls were materialized, it would be entirely different. They would truly come to life, even becoming distinct from their historical selves, becoming their true selves, and thus escaping Valhalla. They would also truly change their original tragic fate and move towards happiness.
Not only the three little goddesses felt this way, but the other Servants also had the same idea. For a time, everyone surrounded Wang Chong, eager to have their souls materialized.
"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to do it for you... I need a long period of rest after each use of Soul Materialization," Wang Chong said with a hint of helplessness.
"The Third Law, Soul Materialization, has indeed granted me boundless magic power... but releasing the Third Law consumes more than just magic power. It also consumes my own energy and many other things... In short, I cannot cast it again for a while. Please allow me some more time."
Wang Chong had not expected that the third method would consume so much energy. Despite having the body of a True Ancestor, it still drained all his strength in one go.
No wonder the Winter Saintess, who was merely using the Third Magic to heal and save individuals without fully materializing their souls, experienced such long casting and cooldown times. Such a drain on energy is unbearable for most people.
Of course, Wang Chong suspected that he had been too overconfident, performing the soul materialization for both of them at once. If he had only performed it on one person, both the energy consumption and the time would have been reduced by more than half.
"It seems that cultivating the Third Law is indeed a long and arduous journey," Wang Chong thought to himself.
Chapter 354 I'll Take Care of You
After Wang Chong's explanation, the many heroic spirits had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea of materializing their souls.
Among them, there were quite a few Servants who cast envious or jealous glances at Jeanne d'Arc Alter, which Jeanne d'Arc Alter enjoyed very much.
Jeanne Alter thought to herself, "As expected, my Master cares about me the most. She always thinks of me first when something good happens. Hehe..."
Jeanne Alter blushed and walked back triumphantly. Her smug look annoyed Stheno and Euryale, who planned to take control of their Master as soon as she was rested the next day.
After the Servants dispersed, only the dolls who were still making their internal arrangements remained in the arena, along with Irisviel, the magician Aozaki Touko with a resentful look in her eyes, and Sajō Aika who was still clinging to Wang Chong's waist.
Aozaki Touko stepped forward first and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Congratulations on becoming the third magician."
"Why does your tone sound a little strange?" Wang Chong said with a smile.
"Really? You must have misheard, my great mage. Sigh, do you think I should just retire and live a carefree life from now on?" Aozaki Touko said.
“Why are you so downcast? This isn’t like you,” Wang Chong said.
"After immersing myself in the demonic path for so many years, I've come to understand one thing: I've come into this world just to be your stepping stone and a runner-up, only to be attacked by you," Aozaki Touko said quietly.
Wang Chong chuckled to himself, finally understanding what was going on with Aozaki Touko; it seemed she had been hurt by his own words.
“Miss Aozaki, there’s no need for that. Your achievements in the art of puppetry are evident to all. To be able to approach the realm of law with pure magical skills is a miracle in itself.”
Wang Chong advised, "Although I have obtained the third method, as you can see from my current state, it is nothing more than a showy facade, good to look at but useless."
"Heh, there's no need for you to belittle yourself. Law is law, an insurmountable mountain for magicians," Aozaki Touko said seriously. "In short, you'd better not spread the news that you possess law. Otherwise, you'll get into a lot of unnecessary trouble."
“Then I’ll accept your kind offer, Miss Aozaki… But does Miss Aozaki really intend to just give up and live a life of retirement?” Wang Chong asked curiously.
"Heh, just venting. Not to mention I'm still carrying some debts. To make a living and to produce more dolls, I have to do something to support myself... If I just give up and retire, how will I support myself?"
Aozaki Touko shook her head, then turned around, yawning, and said, "If I don't support myself, who will? You?"
After saying that, Aozaki Touko turned and walked towards the house without looking back, but after taking only a few steps, she heard a voice behind her: "I'll take care of you."
Aozaki Touko's steps faltered, as if she had accidentally slipped on some pebbles. She stopped, turned around with a rather charming smile, and finally said, "You should save those sweet words for other girls."
After saying that, Aozaki Touko immediately turned around and continued walking into the house with hurried steps. She stumbled again while going up the steps.
No matter how eloquently she spoke, the disordered movements revealed the unease in Aozaki Touko's heart.
"Ding—System notification: Aozaki Touko's favorability has increased by five points, and her current favorability value is 65 points."
After hearing the system's notification, Wang Chong became even more certain, but he didn't pursue the matter further. Some things require a gradual approach; after all, Aozaki Touko was now confined to her own dimensional home, so why would he be afraid she'd run away?
After most of the people had left, Wang Chong turned his attention to Sajou Aika, who had been sticking close to him.
This time, however, Wang Chong didn't push Sajyou Aika away as he usually did. Instead, he stroked her little head and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Aigo. And... thank you again this time."
Some things can only be known by the parties involved and a few discerning individuals. After using the third technique, Wang Chong was completely drained of strength. Therefore, when he finished using the third technique, Wang Chong almost lost his balance, revealing his true strength.
Fortunately, Sajou Aika suddenly rushed out and hugged Wang Chong tightly, supporting him with her own body, which helped Wang Chong regain his balance. He then quickly relied on the True Ancestor's high recovery ability to stand firmly on his feet.
Because she had helped him, Wang Chong didn't rush to pull Ai Ge away immediately after regaining his strength. He considered it a reward for her.
"Hehe~ Helping His Highness is what Aika is most happy to do. Of course, if His Highness doesn't mind, he can also give Aika a loving kiss."
As she spoke, Aika Sajō pouted, closed her eyes, and imagined her prince giving her a vow kiss.
"Smack..."
However, all Sajō Aika received was a touch on her head. For a moment, Sajō Aika felt very dissatisfied. She had wanted a kiss on the lips, but instead, she was kissed on the forehead… Prince really did treat her like a child!
"Damn it, it's all those damned enemies! If it weren't for them, how could His Highness have misunderstood adult women! One day, I, Sajō Aika, will definitely win them all!"
Sajou Aika made a silent vow in her heart.
"Alright, it's getting late. The Holy Grail War is over, and now it's time for a long-awaited period of relaxation. Everyone should get some rest so we can enjoy exploring Fuyuki City tomorrow."
Wang Chong addressed Irisviel and Ayaka Sajou, who were still present.
……
In the following days, Wang Chong was much more relaxed. As he said, with the Holy Grail War over, everyone had some free time after a long time, so naturally they wanted to rest and enjoy themselves.
Although it involved materializing the souls of the generals one by one, as Wang Chong had predicted, it would have been much easier to do it one by one. Therefore, Wang Chong didn't suffer much in this regard; it might even have been less strenuous than a multi-person sex party.
Therefore, during this time, Wang Chong basically led a large group of Servants, Arcueid, Irisviel, and several children to explore the surrounding scenery and some particularly famous historical sites. (A certain otaku girl didn't come, and a certain Green Song is categorized as a child.)
They even took advantage of the amusement park, a popular dating spot, and had the children play games with them. Of course, some female Servants also vied to play some couple-themed games with them.
Sometimes, Wang Chong found himself and his companions becoming a striking sight in Fuyuki City. After all, walking along the roadside with a large group of extremely beautiful women naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Besides their own side, the actions of the Mage's Association and the Holy Church are also ambiguous. The Mage's Association, for example, doesn't seem particularly interested in the outcome of the Holy Grail War. Instead, they are quite concerned about Kenneth's legacy and its aftermath.
El-Melloi retrieved Kenneth's body and took Sora with him. Sora's fate remains uncertain, but poor Waver has been questioned numerous times these past few days, living in constant fear.
As for Waver, he naturally didn't leave immediately these days. Firstly, he wanted to revisit the places he had been with the Emperor, and secondly, he was being questioned by the Mage's Association and couldn't leave.
As for the third reason, it was naturally because he remembered Wang Chong's instructions, and therefore did not leave immediately. He would wait until later to embark on a long journey to Japan with Wang Chong and Kirei Kotomine.
As for the Church of Christ, it was basically handled by Kirei Kotomine and Risei Kotomine, whose mind was controlled by the black mist.
However, the Holy Church is not concerned with the outcome of the Holy Grail War; they are more interested in the current whereabouts of the original True Ancestor.
Of course, this aspect was also covered up by Kirei Kotomine with a clever half-truth and half-lies, explaining that the True Ancestor named "Dio" had been eliminated by Princess Arcueid.
After receiving this result, the Church of Christ did not continue to search for the princess or the True Ancestor monster. Kirei Kotomine was thus given the free time to properly arrange someone's funeral.
Yes, the person in question is none other than the elegant magician, Tokiomi Tohsaka. He has now been placed inside a coffin for his family and relatives to view his remains. The memorial service has been held for several days, and Tokiomi Tohsaka will be formally buried tomorrow.

Chapter 355 The Widow Aoi Tohsaka
"Woooo..."
The moon was bright and the stars were few, and a faint light emanated from the mourning hall. From within, the sound of a beautiful woman weeping could be heard.
The sound of weeping echoed throughout the funeral hall. Aoi Tohsaka, dressed in black mourning clothes, was still weeping uncontrollably. Tokiomi Tohsaka's death was a devastating blow to her.
Even before this Holy Grail War, Tokiomi Tohsaka had warned himself that he was very likely to die in the Holy Grail War, so he specifically instructed himself to raise Rin Tohsaka well and have her inherit his mantle.
Even though Aoi Tohsaka had been mentally preparing for this, when the day actually arrived, she still felt like the sky had fallen. The head of the family was dead; how could she and her daughter possibly shoulder the burden of the family alone?
However, even though Aoi Tohsaka was overwhelmed with grief and pressure, she was still in a relatively normal mental state. Unlike in the original timeline, where being choked by Kariya Matou caused brain hypoxia, and the previous excessive fright drove her to complete madness, leaving Rin Tohsaka to shoulder the burden alone.
Even so, Tohsaka Aoi still longs for someone to rely on. Naturally weak-willed, she prefers to depend on a man, especially a powerful one, rather than herself.
Therefore, for some reason, Aoi Tohsaka, who was crying, suddenly had the image of a man who had treated her roughly flash into her mind.
Suddenly, Aoi Tohsaka stopped crying, seemingly because her own thoughts had frightened her so much that even her tears for Tokiomi Tohsaka came to an abrupt halt.
Then, Aoi Tohsaka patted her cheeks and murmured, "Aoi, how could you think about that man again in front of Tokiomi's bones? You've already wronged Tokiomi enough, and now you're still thinking about relying on him... Isn't that despicable?"
"Whom do you depend on? Why is it despicable to depend on him?" A man's voice reached Aoi Tohsaka's ears. In an instant, Aoi Tohsaka was struck dumb, her body stiffening and not daring to move an inch.
"What you fear most is what will happen..." Aoi Tohsaka couldn't help but lament in her heart.
