Afterwards, Wang Chong left the Dimensional House alone, leaving behind a clone that sat upright in the house. He then instructed Tohsaka Aoi, "I'll be leaving Fuyuki City with Kirei Kotomine to take care of some things. But don't worry about Rin Tohsaka or me. I can use this clone to teleport back and forth at will every day. When you arrive, just tap this clone beforehand, and I'll open the Dimensional House and put Rin Tohsaka inside. When the time is almost up, I'll open the Dimensional House again and release Rin Tohsaka. If you miss me, I'll come back and visit you."
That's right, that's why Wang Chong brought Rin Tohsaka into the Dimensional House. Since he'd always controlled the Dimensional House and could open it anywhere, he could use his clone ability to continue teaching while taking a large group of people on a trip.
"Yes, Master, just go and get busy with your things... But I, your slave, have been too clingy these past few days and have delayed your important matters." Aoi Tohsaka now looked at Wang Chong with eyes full of doting. After all, Wang Chong had conquered her physically, mentally, and spiritually. Her heart was completely filled with him, and she was thinking about even more things, such as when she could give birth to a child for him.
Unfortunately, Wang Chong's strength is currently too great, and it's extremely difficult for a powerful person to have offspring. Right now, let alone Tohsaka Aoi, even a grown woman is eagerly awaiting her first child.
"Alright, Aoi, I know it'll be a bit of a hassle for you. Getting your daughter to fully accept our relationship isn't easy; it takes a long time and consistent companionship to gradually smooth things over. So don't worry too much. Wait a while, and then you can move into the Dimensional House together." Wang Chong embraced Aoi Tohsaka, gave her a deep, sweet kiss, and then patted her plump bottom, eliciting a coquettish pout from her. He then left the house with a happy smile, planning to return at the right time to pick up Rin Tohsaka.
……
Fuyuki Airport
"Are you both ready?" Wang Chong asked after meeting Weber and Kirei Kotomine at the airport.
“Um… actually, you don’t need to come with me…” Waver scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. To be honest, although the Holy Grail War was over, he felt immense pressure from both Wang Chong, the ruthless man who ended the Holy Grail War, and the Master of this stern-faced Assassin.
“It’s alright, we’ll all be departing from India. Qili is going to the Vatican’s headquarters to report on his duties, but he needs to make some visits throughout West Asia. I’m a free spirit, so I’ll take this opportunity to see the world and see if there’s anything interesting to do,” Wang Chong said with a smile.
Chapter 366 Travel Time
"Dear passengers, the aircraft is approaching its destination and is currently descending. Please fasten your seatbelts..."
The broadcast woke Wang Chong, who was still taking a nap. He, Weber, and Kirei Kotomine had arrived in New Delhi, the capital of India. However, none of the three were particularly interested in the place, treating it merely as a transit point.
After the plane landed safely, Wang Chong felt rather uninterested. He had arrived at the airport unharmed, but he found it incredibly boring. He had been expecting the dramatic plane crash that often happens in this alternate world, but nothing had actually occurred.
"This is so boring. Unless the plane crashes or there's some kind of air disaster, I've just wasted several hours of my time," Wang Chong muttered.
His complaints were overheard by Waver and Kirei Kotomine, who were standing nearby. Waver was at a loss for words. How could anyone expect a plane crash or a plane disaster? Would a normal person really find such a thing interesting?
"It is indeed quite boring. If it happens as you say, it would add some interesting spice to this journey," Kirei Kotomine said.
Well, these are two abnormal people, Weber thought to himself.
"It's alright. Although the plane won't disappoint us, this magical country of India won't let us down. Look at Qili, do you see those prying eyes around us? There are children, there are men... It seems they see the three of us as lambs to the slaughter, wanting to use some petty theft on us." Wang Chong said with a faint smile.
"Yes, that's true. I'm really looking forward to it. Just as the teacher said, taking off this uniform will allow us to see more interesting ugliness in the world." Kirei Kotomine also revealed a pleased smile. He couldn't wait for those people to come to him.
Weber sighed, feeling that things wouldn't be peaceful for him if he followed these two.
……
Several days later, the three had left India and arrived in Pakistan. Just as Weber had predicted, these past few days had been terrifying for him. He and his two companions, like two killing gods, had dealt with countless rioters and mobs. They even deliberately set up a sting operation, provoking a local tyrant and subsequently wiping out the entire tyrannical organization.
But if you ask Webber how much he objected to their actions, it's not necessarily true. After all, it was like they had a pact: they never took the initiative, waiting for their opponent to strike before striking back. Especially when Webber's treasured game disc and the Great Conquest T-shirt given to him by the Emperor were stolen, it was these two who helped him recover them.
Weber had witnessed firsthand how chaotic India was, but fortunately there wasn't much of anything related to Iskandar, so the three of them quickly made it out of India.
Upon arriving in Pakistan, the environment improved considerably. Although the country was still somewhat impoverished, its security was far better than India's. However, one could occasionally hear news about extremist terrorist organizations on the radio.
"Well, at least I can finally give my Servants and my wives a little break. That awful place, India, I feel disgusted just breathing its air. It's such a waste of this place that has given birth to so many great Heroic Spirits throughout history."
Wang Chong shook his head the whole way, and could only say that such prejudice against India was indeed justified. However, his main purpose in coming to India was to see if he could get his hands on any relics from the Indian system so that he could summon a few decent Servants.
If we're talking about what Wang Chong wants most, it has to be Karna, the Little Sun. The perfect male Servant is right there, and of course, what he's really craving is Karna's golden armor. That's a treasure worth 1.5 villain points even in its monkey version—it's incredibly tempting.
Secondly, there are several female Servants related to India. For example, popular characters such as Kama, the god of love and the third beast, and Sakura, who also has a cherry blossom face.
However, these Servants with cherry blossom faces are all Servants who have possessed Matou Sakura. Matou Sakura is currently perfectly fine here with me; I can't very well take over the body of the younger Matou Sakura in this world just to summon those Servants, can I? It seems I'll have to wait until I pull the FGO timeline before collecting those goddesses.
In the end, Wang Chong could only leave India empty-handed. Well, it wasn't entirely without gain; through his entrapment and manipulation along the way, he managed to accumulate 1200 villain points, bringing his total villain points to around 2200. Even after killing so many people and absorbing their souls, the increase in power for the Ruined Legion was less than 1%.
"Go to Pakistan and deal with some extremist groups... Hmph, the Middle East is a chaotic place. Killing those guys will lighten the workload for a certain righteous partner."
Without further ado, he took action. His combat-loving Servants had been rather idle, so it was a perfect opportunity to train them. In recent days, during his free time, Wang Chong took some people who enjoyed traveling and sightseeing, such as Irisviel and her daughter, the Gorgon sisters, and Arcueid, who was also a keen traveler, to explore the nearby scenery and experience the local customs.
When battles are needed, he leads his warmongers, including Saber Alter, Mordred, Jeanne Alter, and Arcueid, along with Arcueid who is equally fond of joining in the fun, to destroy those extremist terrorist groups in order to earn some real-world gold coins and villain points.
Thus, the group set off from Pakistan, passed through the Middle East, circled the Mediterranean Sea, and arrived in places like Athens and Greece. Their final destination was the Vatican, the headquarters of the Church of Italy, which Kirei Kotomine was heading to.
Along the way, Weber essentially acted as a tour guide during his free time. After all, he was very focused on research materials and literature, and he wanted to retrace Iskandar's conquest route, to experience firsthand the life of the great emperor who had only accompanied him for a few days yet brought him immeasurable rewards. Therefore, when it came to experiencing local customs and culture, Weber was always the right choice.
As for preparing to target those organizations, they would have to rely on Kirei Kotomine and Maiya Hisau. They were both very familiar with the terrorist organizations in this underworld, especially Maiya Hisau, who knew exactly how to find them. After all, they were top mercenaries who had been quite active in the Middle East, so it was perfectly normal for them to have access to special intelligence channels.
And so, the group traveled and vacationed while also engaging in some interesting battles, making their days relatively fulfilling. Soon, almost a month had passed, and Wang Chong and his companions finally arrived near the Vatican. During this time, they had accumulated an astonishing 5000 villain points through killing. Their total villain points had once again reached 7200.
Since Wang Chong and his group were not members of the Holy Church, they were naturally not allowed to enter the Holy Church premises. However, there was no problem with the outlying churches that provided places of worship for travelers.
"The Vatican City. I never expected to have the opportunity to pray here." If anyone was most interested in this area, it would undoubtedly be Joan of Arc, after all, Joan of Arc was a devout believer.
"Tch...boring. I really want to burn those fat guys who are wandering around in front of me. They all look just like that bastard Pierre." But if we're talking about who's the most disdainful of this, it's undoubtedly Jeanne d'Arc Alter. As soon as she arrived here and saw those bishops in red robes, she had an urge to burn them all.
"Alright, relax and don't use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Besides, Kirei brought us here, and he's taken good care of us along the way, so we can't make things too difficult for him," Wang Chong said with a smile.
"Really? I think that guy would laugh his head off if he saw me burn this part of the place down. When I burned those villains with fire before, he was pretending to pray while laughing loudly." Black Jeanne knew very well the true nature of the priest who had been with them all the way to wipe out the extremist organization, so she said with a somewhat nonchalant smile.
“You… this is a church-affiliated place, after all. Don’t keep talking about those things. It would be troublesome if someone with ulterior motives overheard.” Joan of Arc sighed and sat down next to Black Joan of Arc, offering her kind advice.
"If they dare to cause trouble, let's see if they can handle it," Jeanne d'Arc Alter said disdainfully.
"Hehe...you're right. If they dare to cause trouble, it depends on whether they are qualified to take it on." As Wang Chong spoke, his eyes inadvertently glanced at a dark corner.
Chapter 367 The Vatican Church
"Oh dear, looks like we've been discovered... No wonder you're the kind of person who can make that princess obediently follow you around~ What do you two think?" A blonde woman with a playful smile said from the shadows. Her gaze was fixed on Wang Chong and his companion.
"Hmm? Don't ask me, Chief. I just came to ask where my partner who always gets lost went. But you caught me here to tail such a dangerous person. And if it has anything to do with Bai Ji, you should just look for Mei Lian. There's really no need to leave me here." The hedgehog-haired man with glasses pushed his glasses and said with an unlucky look.
"So, Meilian, what do you think? Didn't you have a past relationship with that White Princess? You were the one who arranged for her to go to Fuyuki City this time. But unexpectedly, she stayed in Fuyuki City for a long time without any news. Now that you see her suddenly appearing here, aren't you very surprised?" The blonde woman shook her head and looked at a man who should have looked like a young boy, but was actually an adult man created by her familiar.
"...What Lady Bai Ji wants to do is none of my business. As for that man... Narubalek, I advise you not to have any wicked thoughts. I can feel the extremely strong sense of superiority emanating from him. If you think you're not long enough to live, you can go and test your strength." Mei Lian appeared indifferent, but her gaze towards Wang Chong was full of apprehension.
Others might not know, but he knew very well that this was a suppressive force that only a True Ancestor royal could bestow upon him. Combined with the purpose of Shirahime's trip to Fuyuki City, Mei Lian quickly deduced that the other party's true identity was most likely the True Ancestor that Shirahime was targeting, the True Ancestor who single-handedly destroyed the entire Einzbern family.
Although he didn't know why Bai Ji, who was supposed to be chasing after the other party, was now obediently following by their side like a kitten, Mei Lian felt both envious and jealous. But having lived for so long, he wouldn't be so hot-blooded as to want to fight her… The more abnormal Bai Ji's behavior, the more it highlighted the terrifying nature of this mysterious True Ancestor. She was definitely not someone he, a mere Dead Disciple, could afford to provoke.
"It's not that I want to deal with him, but these guys have caused quite a stir. According to information from our Church's informants in the Middle East, hundreds of terrorist bases have been destroyed by these people. You know some of these bases; they're closely connected to those big shots. That's why the higher-ups are very uneasy about these unstable guys. I've already issued a warrant for their extermination."
The woman named Narubalek also looked helpless, as if this chore was completely pointless, and continued, "How about you two, Dawn and Meilian, work together to take them out?"
"Huh? Me?" Dawn gave him a look that said, "What kind of ridiculous joke are you making?" It was just like when your boss assigns you an impossible task, but pretends to be doing it for your own good.
"Not interested, I'm leaving." Mei Lian left without any politeness. He felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest if he continued to be stared at by that True Ancestor. Of course, the more important reason was that he didn't want to see his idol, Bai Ji, following him around so obediently. He felt like a defeated dog; leaving early would prevent his pride from being severely damaged.
"Sigh... I say, boss, why don't those people go find Kirei Kotomine? They came together. Why do we, the people from the Burial Agency, have to get involved?" Dawn chimed in, trying to persuade them.
“Have you forgotten that Kirei Kotomine also served as an executor? And Kirei Kotomine's reputation within the Church is undeniable; he's favored by many important figures. Add to that the secrets he carries about the Fourth Holy Grail War, and that guy's attitude towards Kirei Kotomine… in short, there's no way to get to him. The two factions are already at loggerheads… otherwise, why do you think I was sent to monitor them and get to him?” Narubalek patted Dawn on the back and continued, “How about we continue to consider your plan to eliminate these people?”
"Please, have mercy on me, Chief... Stop exploiting me like this!" Dawn pleaded, his voice trembling with misery.
……
Wang Chong withdrew his gaze, immediately noticing the individuals monitoring him. In truth, after taking action against the terrorist organizations, Wang Chong had already known that their actions and intelligence would eventually be handed over to the Holy See. Therefore, since entering the Vatican, he hadn't concealed his powerful aura, aiming for the same intimidating effect he was currently displaying.
Wang Chong didn't care how much they investigated him; he was only using it as a deterrent to make the people of the Holy Church and certain hidden old monsters realize one thing: the price they would pay for attacking him. Now, would they dare to pay it? Only in this way would he undoubtedly become more peaceful in this world.
Similarly, his own intimidation can also serve as a protective shield for Kirei Kotomine.
"He's out." As soon as Wang Chong thought of Kirei Kotomine, he saw the church gate, and Kirei Kotomine, dressed in his robes, walked out and came to Wang Chong.
"How is it? Is everything done?" Wang Chong asked.
“No… I’m afraid the church will keep me here for quite some time. But I have regained custody of my daughter, and I will entrust her to your care then.” Kirei Kotomine handed Wang Chong a letter and an address.
“Karen… right? As for being a father, I have to criticize you, Kirei,” Wang Chong said after accepting the gift.
"I am deeply humbled. Once this matter is resolved, I will make up for the time I missed taking care of my daughter," Kirei Kotomine said with a bow.
“Alright… since you’re going to stay here for a long time, I won’t stay any longer. I’ll just spend a few days exploring the Vatican and then head to London.” Wang Chong said loudly, as if he wanted someone to hear him.
Kirei Kotomine roughly understood what Wang Chong meant, and thus said, "Then I'm afraid I cannot personally see you off."
“It’s alright. Your daughter Karen can stay with me for now. After I finish dealing with things in London, I’ll go back to Fuyuki and wait for your return.” After saying this, Wang Chong patted Kirei Kotomine on the shoulder, then bid farewell to Kirei Kotomine and left the church with Jeanne Alter and the others.
Having achieved his goal, and since the Holy Church wouldn't dare to easily harm him, his attitude towards Kirei Kotomine was to make it clear to the Holy Church that he wanted Kirei Kotomine to act as an intermediary between them. In this way, the Holy Church would naturally not go too far towards Kirei Kotomine.
Right now, what I need most is to change the fates of some important female characters; those are practically living villain points and lottery chances. After all, Kallen is a standard female protagonist in a Type-Moon work, a definite chosen one. With her in mind, the rewards I could obtain would be quite substantial.
Thinking of this, Wang Chong picked up the address that Kirei Kotomine had just given him and prepared to go to the city corresponding to his target to pick up Karen Altsia.
Chapter 368 Karen Ordesia
"Oh, no problem at all. Since it's a letter of recommendation from headquarters, and you're a friend of the child's biological father and possess his keepsake, it's most appropriate to entrust the child to you, sir."
An elderly priest was now receiving Wang Chong with a respectful, friendly, and smiling demeanor, a stark contrast to his previous sarcastic and impatient attitude before he presented the letter of recommendation from the Holy Church.
"I still like your rebellious look just now. Please recover for a while." Wang Chong said as he tapped the letter of recommendation from the Holy Church that he had just placed on the table. The old priest, after hearing Wang Chong's words, remained shameless, not showing any embarrassment. He said, "My eyesight is dim and I don't recognize you. I hope you can be more tolerant... I will go and bring the little girl to you first, how about that?"
"Go ahead," Wang Chong said calmly.
About a day had passed when Wang Chong arrived at the shrine in the morning, heading straight for Karen. However, judging from the old priest's appearance, Karen must have suffered some mistreatment.
Not long after, a child of about four years old was led out by the old priest, looking somewhat bewildered. Wang Chong narrowed his eyes; he had white hair and golden eyes, and although he was too young, he did indeed bear some resemblance to Kirei Kotomine.
That's it, it must be Karen. This old man wouldn't dare fool me… However, although Karen was wearing a very clean and beautiful outfit, Wang Chong still noticed something amiss. Karen's body appeared too thin, and her mental state was sickly; she looked quite unwell. Perhaps this new outfit was something the old man had specially given Karen to appease him, afraid he would find out he hadn't taken good care of her.
Wang Chong nodded slightly, squatted down to look at Karen, and asked, "You are Karen, right? Do you remember who your father and mother are?"
"Hmm." Karen nodded, looking at Wang Chong with some curiosity, then glanced at the stingy priest who had suddenly shoved the new clothes into her hands and told her to change quickly. For a moment, she seemed to understand something and said, "Big brother, are you here to take me away?"
“Very clever. I am a friend of your father, Kirei Kotomine. He entrusted me with taking care of you from now on,” Wang Chong explained to Karen.
Karen nodded, then glanced at the old priest beside her. With the old priest's tacit approval, Karen walked over to Wang Chong and obediently stood behind him.
"Well, sir, this little girl is incredibly clever and well-behaved. I have taught her with great care. Hehe, although I am sometimes a bit strict, it is all so that these children can better understand how to conduct themselves in the world and serve our Lord more devoutly." The old priest seemed to know that his little tricks would not fool Wang Chong, so he made a point of explaining himself.
“Don’t worry about it. I’m here only to take her away. Father, please be careful. Always remember that the Lord is with us.” Wang Chong said, pointing to the sky. The old priest, looking knowing, became even more respectful. Wang Chong ignored him and took little Karen’s hand, stepping out of the church to meet up with Jeanne d’Arc Alter, who had been waiting outside.
"Master, is everything settled?" Jeanne Alter glanced at the little girl Wang Chong was holding and asked.
"Hmm? What? Planning to make a move?" Wang Chong saw through Jeanne d'Arc Alter's thoughts at a glance and said with a smile.
"Heh, this old hag, not only did he refuse to let me into the church, but he also said that my black clothes were blaspheming this church, acting like a witch... Heh heh heh, witch acting, that's hilarious. I haven't seen anyone so bold as to say that to my face in a long time." Jeanne d'Arc Alter's face showed no anger whatsoever, but instead she smiled eerily. However, Wang Chong knew very well that Jeanne d'Arc Alter was extremely angry, and her laughter was a sign of extreme rage.
"Hey, no rush. We'll definitely burn it, but there's no reason to set a fire in broad daylight. Daytime flames are nowhere near as spectacular as nighttime flames, don't you think?" Wang Chong said with a smile.
"Hehe, as expected, Master understands me best. Alright, then let's do as Master wishes and continue tonight. It's a good thing that the white guy isn't here; he'd probably go on and on, ruining the mood." Jeanne Alter laughed even more brightly as she spoke.
"You know, Joan of Arc was just looking at things from a different perspective. Besides, that old bastard has done a lot of despicable things, otherwise why do you think Joan of Arc didn't step into this place today? In her eyes, ever since that guy started selling indulgences in disguise, this church has been completely corrupted and should have been judged long ago. Not to mention the other despicable things that guy has done," Wang Chong shook his head and said.
"So, that guy in white is also planning to burn down this shrine?"
“No, she knew we would do something, so she was praying for us, asking the Lord to forgive our sins,” Wang Chong said with a shrug.
"Tch, just like her style, still so annoying." Jeanne Alter looked speechless, then said, "Oh well, as long as that old bastard gets a death sentence, that's fine."
“Yes, remember to only punish the ringleaders. Don’t harm the others, especially the children. Then ask Atalanta to find out which families can take in these children. Atalanta always cares about children, so we can leave this to her and she’ll handle it,” Wang Chong said.
"Alright, I'll go find her and tell her later." Jeanne Alter waved and turned to walk towards the city. Most of the Servants were still exploring the city, so Jeanne Alter naturally went to the city to look for Atalanta. Wang Chong didn't go in the same direction as Jeanne Alter; he still needed to properly handle Kallen's matter.
Wang Chong pulled Karen towards a secluded spot, and seeing her obediently following behind, he said, "You don't seem scared at all, just following along so obediently. Aren't you afraid something might happen?"
"Big brother, I'm just a four-year-old child. Don't you think it's strange of you to ask this question?" Little Karen looked up and said rather sharply.
"If you were truly a normal four-year-old, I wouldn't have asked that question." Wang Chong smiled after hearing little Karen's answer. As the old saying goes, you can tell a child's future at the age of three, and their old age at the age of seven. Sure enough, neither of these father and daughter were simple. Though young, Karen's intelligence far surpassed others.
“Big brother has proof, knows Father’s name, and has a token,” Little Karen said.
“Proof can be forged, names can be found out, and tokens… do you recognize those tokens? You’ll believe me just because I say that?” Wang Chong continued to ask with a smile, as if he were testing him.
"Hmm... but I don't seem to have any value in taking these actions, do I?" After thinking for a while, Karen came to another answer.
“What if I said you do? Putting everything else aside, the fact that you are Kirei Kotomine’s daughter is likely enough to be of considerable value,” Wang Chong said with a smile.
“…Then, it’s intuition.” After thinking it over carefully, Karen finally said.
"intuition?"
"Well, big brother looks very handsome, he should not be a bad person." said little Karen.
"Hahahaha..." Wang Chong was amused by Little Karen's words and burst into laughter. Then he made a cut, and the spatial door of the Dimensional House was opened by Wang Chong.
"Little Karen, sometimes proof can be altered, items can be fabricated, and you might even be faced with so many lies that you can no longer distinguish truth from falsehood. Then, in the end, there's only one path left to choose." Wang Chong gently stroked little Karen's head and continued.
"Be brave and trust your feelings... no, more accurately, learn to believe. Even if the outcome isn't necessarily good, choose to believe without hesitation. Just like now, from the moment you chose to believe I'm a good person, then in your eyes I'm already a good person. And based on your trust, I will reciprocate by growing up happily and peacefully in the future."
