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

“Interesting, very interesting… to be able to directly access the realm of time without going through the ether?” Goetia’s words revealed the method Wang Chong had just used, making Wang Chong’s heart even heavier.

Just now, at the moment Goetia descended, he used the power of the Stand World to control Goetia with time stop. Then, relying on the body of the True Ancestor to repair himself, he planned to smash Goetia's body with one punch.

Just as Wang Chong was about to make his move, he suddenly realized that Goetia's eyes were following his direction. No matter which way he moved, Goetia was "watching" him, as if Goetia could retain his consciousness in the world where time had stopped and was paying attention to his movements at all times.

In the end, Wang Chong had no choice but to approach Goetia from behind and attempt a backstab. However, Wang Chong knew Goetia's current immortality, and trying to kill him using such a method was nothing short of a pipe dream.

"Tsk... I can't find that Dr. Roman now, and with my current strength, I have no chance of winning against him... The only solution now is to find the others and bring them all into the Dimensional House to see if we can use it to lay low for a while," Wang Chong thought to himself.

Chapter 389 Demon King Goetia

"What? Are you scared and planning to run away? Or are you planning to call on your Servants for help? Heh, unfortunately, you can't escape, and they can't get here. The entire space has been completely locked down by me, and they have already been intercepted by other demons. What I'm going to do this time is to wipe you all out completely."

After speaking, Goetia spread his arms, and numerous eyes opened from his arms, firing hundreds of powerful magical beams at Wang Chong. Wang Chong drew his sword to defend himself, but each beam caused his tiger's mouth to split open, and dozens of beams even pierced through his legs, causing him excruciating pain.

"Damn it... You think I'm a pushover just because I haven't shown my teeth yet!" Wang Chong's eyes flashed with cold light. Now, facing the strongest enemy in history, if he let the other party humiliate him without taking a bite out of him, he shouldn't have come to this other world.

"Goetia, do you think you can just manipulate me like that?" After blocking Goetia's attack, Wang Chong pointed his sword at Goetia and said coldly.

"Otherwise what? Or you could bring out something more eye-catching, like that one just now—" Just then, Goetia started walking towards Wang Chong. Wang Chong tried to move, but found his body extremely stiff, making it difficult to move. No, not only his body, but everything around him seemed to be almost frozen in place.

"Time stopped? No! If time stopped, why am I unable to move? And Goetia doesn't have this power at all. Could it be magic?" Wang Chong began to think rapidly about the situation before him.

"THE WORLD!!" Without hesitation, Wang Chong immediately released his Stand, The World, activating its power. As a result, the entire world was covered with a golden filter, and he finally broke free from that frozen state.

"King of the Ruined King!" Wang Chong raised his sword and aimed directly at Goetia's head. "Clang—" But unexpectedly, Goetia ignored the world's time-stopping ability and grabbed Wang Chong's Blade of the Ruined King, preventing Wang Chong from cutting even half an inch into Goetia's body.

"So it really didn't work?" Seeing that Goetia could still move even under his time-stopping ability, Wang Chong realized that the movement of Goetia's gaze just now was clearly a trick on him.

"Strange, isn't it? Time can be manipulated with magic to achieve a similar effect. And I've long since transcended the timeline of this world, existing independently of time. Your little tricks won't work on me!!"

After saying that, a huge amount of black magic rose from Goetia's body and pushed Wang Chongzhen away once again.

"King's Judgment!" Even as he was being knocked away, Wang Chong sneered and unhesitatingly activated the skill "King's Judgment." A sword light flashed out and struck Goetia's arm.

"Heh, so you've run out of tricks... Uh!" Goetia tried to shake off this painless attack with his bare hands, but the effect of King's Judgment was triggered once again. The sword light struck Goetia's arm and then passed right through it, before striking Goetia's face and instantly cutting a sizable gash, injuring him.

The injury was minor, but the humiliation was immense. After Wang Chong tumbled several times and landed on the ground, he looked at Goetia, whose face had been slashed, and directly mocked, "Hehehe, Goetia, didn't you think you were pretty great? What? You've been slapped in the face by me? Oh no, I should say your face has been slashed?"

"Heh... Hahahaha... Good lad, since you've chosen to court death! Then the warm-up ends here!" Goetia raised his fists, his entire upper body beginning to become chaotic and bizarre, the beastly form already showing its first signs. At the same time, the earth trembled again, and after the land cracked, four demonic pillars rose from the ground, standing behind Goetia.

The four demonic pillars emitted equally terrifying power, and countless beams of light shot out from their gaze. Wang Chong dodged the beams while also trying to avoid the tentacles that stretched out from the demonic pillars to restrain him.

"Bang!" A huge crater was created by Goetia's stomp. Then, Goetia quickly detected the direction Wang Chong was heading and punched him.

"System, upgrade Pain to the Heavens and Decisive Command to level 2! Vast Scorched Earth!" Wang Chong did not directly clash with Goetia's punch, but instead chose to summon a large amount of black mist to envelop himself and buy some time.

"Received from host: A total of 1 villain points have been spent to successfully upgrade 'Pain Piercing the Heavens' and 'The Emperor's Decree' to level 2. Current remaining villain points: 2200 points," the system notified.

"The black mist rolls out from me like a tidal wave. Though it may wane occasionally, now we will surge forward without hesitation—pain that pierces the heavens!!" Wang Chong recited the lines of the Ruined King, activating all his auras at the same time. One aura that doubled the pain was successfully triggered as Wang Chong recited his lines.

The black mist gathered on Wang Chong's Ruined King's Blade, and then Wang Chong slammed the sword down on Goetia, who was attacking him. The weapon made contact with Goetia's fists, and Goetia's brows furrowed sharply. He was somewhat surprised that his opponent could still unleash such power after he used the four Demon God Pillars to enhance his strength. What surprised him even more was that the sword strike was more painful than he had expected. Caught off guard, he almost lost his composure.

“I have to admit you have some skill, but in the end you’re just a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating your own abilities!” Goetia said.

"Wait until you've defeated me before spouting such arrogant words. No matter how much you talk, you're still evenly matched with me," Wang Chong said, while his mind kept calling out, "Black Alice, how are you doing? What's the current state of the Greater Grail's reserves?"

"Master, the spiritual veins of Fuyuki have been parasitized by some unknown force. Even though I tried to erode them with black mist, I couldn't gain any advantage. Just now, in order to protect the Servant's consciousness from being blasted apart by that beam of light, the Greater Grail's reserves were already mostly depleted. The situation is very bad," Black Alice said weakly.

"What about them? Where are they now? Can you just bring them to my side?" Wang Chong asked.

"The Servants are in a bad situation too. They are currently being attacked by those Demon Pillars and are unable to break through them for the time being. However... Arcueid, Irisviel, and Rin are making their way here without any obstacles. I have already told Arcueid where you are now," Black Irisviel replied.

"Arquet? That's it... those Demon Pillars can't stop Arcueid. I just don't know if Arcueid and I can defeat this guy together. Even killing him once would be good, at least it would pause him for a while, making it easier for me to bring the other Servants back to the Dimensional House," Wang Chong thought to himself.

“Tell me Arcueid’s location, and I’ll lead Goetia there while we fight. When I’m almost there, have Arcueid take over for me for a while so I can bring Irisviel and Aoi into the Dimensional House,” Wang Chong said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Black Alice immediately went to do it after receiving the instruction.

Chapter 390 Arcueid vs. Getia

"What are these things...? Is it the end of the world?" Panic and unease gripped Aoi's chest, making it hard to breathe. If Irisviel hadn't been pulling her forward, she felt she wouldn't have been able to hold on any longer.

“Everything will be alright. The other one is already guiding us closer to Mr. Wang Chong.” Irisviel comforted Aoi while keeping pace with Arcueid and the black mist beside her, running forward. Irisviel was also somewhat flustered by the hellish scenery before her, but fortunately, it wasn't the first time she had seen such a sight, so she was used to it.

Her mind was filled with questions. The Holy Grail was unharmed, and even her black self showed no abnormalities, so why had Fuyuki City suffered such an undeserved calamity… the entire city had been wiped out. Who could have committed such a heinous act?

"We've arrived. Stay here and hide well. Black Irisviel, protect them." Suddenly, Arcueid stopped and blocked their way. The black mist materialized, and Black Irisviel, dressed in a black uniform, walked to Irisviel and Aoi's side, temporarily concealing them with the black mist.

Arcueid nodded in relief, then turned his head, his left hand clutching his face. His eyes, which had gradually turned from red to gold, were radiating a faint white light. He then slowly walked forward. The ground began to tremble, Arcueid's footprints growing deeper with each step, and his force field steadily increased. As the planet's senses, it had detected the threat and was adjusting its output limit accordingly.

"boom--"

Just then, a cross of light appeared in the distance, followed by a thick purple beam of light with a radius of 100 meters. At the center of the beam of light was a black dot made of black mist, which was constantly fighting against the beam of light.

"boom!!!"

The beam of light slammed directly into the ground in front of Arcueid, sending a howling wind whipping through her golden hair like raging waves. Arcueid wasn't worried about Wang Chong's condition, because she knew that an attack of this magnitude couldn't kill a True Ancestor.

"boom--!"

Instantly, a huge dent appeared in the ground within a 50-meter radius of Arcueid. Arcueid had made its move. Arcueid leaped high into the air, heading straight for the source of the light cannon. The sound of it tearing through the air was extremely sharp, even comparable to the noise produced by the light cannon.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Goetia, who was firing her light cannon, also noticed it and began to look to one side of the cannon. But in that casual glance, she saw a fist filled with silver light expanding into her left half of her field of vision.

"boom!"

Arcueid's punch shattered most of Goetia's head, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere, and the massive beam of light was abruptly severed. Arcueid, not letting up, transformed his fist into a claw, gripping the mangled head and dragging Goetia's entire body down to the ground like a meteor.

"boom!"

The earth rose like a fountain, the ground churned, and dust flew everywhere. Arcueid wasn't satisfied with just slamming Goetia once; with each slam, he grabbed it and leaped high into the air before plunging it down again!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"

He threw eight consecutive times, then sprinted forward while still on the ground, scraping against the earth, heading straight for the Demon Pillar Beret who was on his way to provide support.

"Die, all of you!!" Arcueid lifted Goetia and flew directly towards the Demon God Pillar Byleth, slamming Goetia into Byleth's body.

"Gah—!!"

The Demon Pillar Byleth let out a mournful cry as its entire body was smashed to pieces. Arcueid then forcefully flung Goetia into the three other pillars that arrived late.

"Bang bang bang-!"

Goetia's body pierced through the three Demon God Pillars, shattering them completely. It's hard to say whether to attribute it to Arcueid's incredible violence or Goetia's incredible toughness, as it didn't turn to dust.

"You eyesore... and you dare to hurt me? If I don't blast you to smithereens today, I'm not Arcueid." Arcueid slowly landed on the ground, his golden pupils fixed on the movement ahead.

……

On the other side, Wang Chong coughed up blood, having just withstood Goetia's beam attack and was feeling somewhat exhausted. Fortunately, he had temporarily passed the baton to Arcueid. It's important to know that as long as it doesn't exceed the planet's limits, Arcueid grows stronger against stronger opponents; Goetia in its normal state would be no match for Arcueid.

However, this doesn't mean Arcueid can defeat Goetia, who has now brought the Great Luna. Goetia, nearing the completion of its Human Incineration, is virtually unmatched on Earth. The Great Luna in the sky possesses a genuine power capable of piercing even the Earth itself. Arcueid's potential is at most the limit of a planet, but even a planet cannot withstand the power of the Great Luna; how could Arcueid, which hasn't yet fully evolved into Earth's Ultra Infinity, possibly resist it?

Wang Chong didn't think much of it. Even if this world were truly destroyed, he could simply escape into the Dimensional House; he always had a way out. The reason he was fighting now was twofold: first, to figure out why Goetia had completed the Incineration of Humanity in his timeline; and second, to exact an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! He couldn't handle the Great Light Wheel, but he could certainly fight Goetia himself?

However, the most important thing right now is to gather the Servants around him and bring Irisviel and Aoi into the Dimensional House. Wang Chong immediately located Black Irisviel and appeared in front of the three of them in a flash.

"Mr. Wang Chong! Are you...are you alright?" Seeing Wang Chong appear before her, Irisviel initially breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had found someone to rely on. But when she saw the various holes and wounds on Wang Chong's body that were being repaired, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart and asked.

"What...what happened...why did everything around us suddenly become like this?" Aoi seemed very frightened. After all, as a normal person, the supernatural phenomenon in front of her was completely beyond her comprehension.

"It's alright. As for what happened, I'll explain in detail after the battle. In short, an enemy capable of destroying all of humanity has descended. You can think of it as the end of the world... Anyway, come in. The battle here is beyond the reach of ordinary people." Wang Chong didn't explain much and immediately opened the Dimensional House, letting Irisviel and Aoi enter. He didn't know how long Arcueid and Goetia would continue fighting, or if Goetia would be unable to resist activating the Great Light Wheel again.

"I wonder if that huge halo only targeted Fuyuki, or if it washed away the entire surface. Kariya, Kirei, and Waver... they're all not in Fuyuki now, so in the end I can only protect the Servants who are outside, as well as Irisviel and Aoi who are outside," Wang Chong thought to himself.

Afterwards, Wang Chong led the three into the Dimensional House and instructed Black Alice to gather the remaining three Servants in the Dimensional House to the entrance, informing them that a difficult battle awaited them.

Then, Wang Chong raised his right hand in the outside world, and a Command Seal began to light up. Wang Chong then used the power of the Command Seal to summon his Servants directly to his side.

As the Command Seals dimmed, seven phantoms solidified before him. They were Mordred, the Gorgon sisters, Jeanne Alter, Saber Alter, and Atalanta.

When the seven Servants arrived, Wang Chong could clearly feel his strength had increased, given the power boost from maxed-out affinity. While waiting for the other three Servants, Wang Chong briefly explained the current situation. Of course, there were two people who didn't need to hear the gist; they understood the situation just from the name Goetia: Jeanne d'Arc Alter and Saber Alter, who had already been instilled with memories of the 1.0 to 1.5 storylines.

"That Goetia guy is out again? It seems he can't escape no matter what world he's in... Heh heh, just a defeated opponent he's already lost to once. This time will be no exception. It's good to settle the score from before," Jeanne Alter said.

"So, Master, how did Goetia appear on our timeline? Logically, you already stopped King Solomon's summoning. Under that premise, Goetia shouldn't be able to complete the Human Order Burning Ceremony no matter what, right?" Artoria [Alter] asked.

Chapter 391 I Will Launch the Great Destruction Event

"This is also what puzzles me. Is it because of the construction of Chaldea? But I also forbade Marisbury from conducting experiments on androids, and his every move is under my surveillance. Even without Mash, Rafe shouldn't have been able to witness this scene and choose to give up suicide."

Wang Chong frowned and said, "If I had known there would be such a risk, I should have paid more attention to Rafe's matter and dealt with him as well. But Rafe just happened to vanish into thin air these past two months. The Magic Association has no idea where he is, so we put it aside for the time being."

"Then I really must thank you, Lord Wang Chong, for thinking so highly of me." A voice suddenly rang out at this moment. Wang Chong looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man wearing a green overcoat and a dark green top hat. This distinctive attire immediately highlighted the other party's identity.

“Rafe Lenore Floros,” Wang Chong uttered the name of the visitor, who responded with a polite gesture, removing his hat in acknowledgment.

"So, Floros, why did you become so disillusioned with humanity that you gave up on the option of suicide?" Wang Chong did not act immediately. He had always known that Rafe, or Floros, was a rather contradictory figure. Even though in the story, he was one of Chaldea's number one enemies, he also kept secretly providing Chaldea with some key information, which more or less helped Chaldea lay the groundwork for defeating Goetia.

This is due to his being born with three personalities, and also to Floros's lingering hope for humanity. Therefore, if one wants to find out about the situation on Goetia's side, seeking out Rafe is undoubtedly the best option.

"Heh, as an investor in Chaldea, are you unaware of the sins you've committed? Well, that's true, after all, this is just the past, not the future after that event." Leif's smile, which he had maintained, began to turn repulsive as he finished speaking. "It's all because of that inhumane experiment, which made me fully understand that humanity is beyond redemption."

“Impossible. I should have already banned Chaldea from conducting the Demi-Servant experimentation program. Even Marisbury should have strictly followed my instructions,” Wang Chong said, frowning.

“Yes, you did indeed give such an order. It’s just a pity that those days will be completely changed from this day forward. You will completely lose control of Chaldea’s future plans, and humanity will, like a runaway horse, fully expose its true nature before me. After all, ‘we’ desire that I complete the incineration of humanity, so we have our king to completely annihilate you. I wonder if this answer can resolve the doubts that you most want to understand, Mr. Wang Chong?” Rafe said.

"So, your comrades decided to come to this point in time to kill me so that you wouldn't choose suicide? Is this the only way to ensure that Chaldea's experimental program continues along the timeline, leading to the completion of the incineration of humanity?"

Wang Chong frowned at first, but then shook his head and said, "That's impossible. All of this is based on the premise that you can kill me. And you can't do that."

"Hehehe... Hahahaha... Should we say that Mr. Wang Chong is too confident, or arrogant? Or do you think that the UO planet with its incomplete evolution can protect you?" Rafe grinned and laughed as he spoke.

"...Before answering your question, I have two last questions. First, if the Great Light Wheel has formed here, what is the situation in other places outside Fuyuki City? Second, I want to know if there will be a Holy Grail War in the future? If so, who will be the victor?" Wang Chong suddenly asked.

"You know perfectly well what I'm asking. Doesn't Mr. Wang Chong also have eyes that can see everything? Ha... Considering the inhumane experiments you once ordered to be banned, I'll be merciful and tell you some more information."

Leif slowly said, "First, since the Great Light Wheel has already formed, the outside world is naturally no different from this place. It has long been completely burned away by our gaze. If it weren't for Fuyuki's unusual protection, which only allowed it to release a trace of the Great Light Wheel's power to destroy it, it would have been turned into firewood under our gaze long ago. As for the second, Fuyuki held the Holy Grail War again in 04, and the victor was the director of Chaldea—Marisbury."

"Is that so?" Wang Chong's face darkened. He didn't say anything more, but instead raised his head and looked directly at Rafe, saying, "Then I'll offer you my own piece of advice: Rafe, you will absolutely never achieve your goal of 'killing me,' and I'll prove it to you right now!"

When Rafe heard this, he was taken aback. He felt as if he had lost something when the other person said those words, and even felt as if he might be disconnected from a certain server.

However, what happened next would be unforgettable for Lev, the Servants present, and even Goetia and Arcueid, who were still fighting.

"System, use two skill upgrade cards to max out my Destruction Power!" Wang Chong commanded the system in his mind.

"Ding—Your Ruin Power has been upgraded to level 5. Congratulations, host, on successfully obtaining your first fully upgraded skill. You are rewarded with 1000 Villain Points. Since your Ruin Power has reached the maximum level, you will receive the exclusive mission of the S-rank villain Ruin King—【The Ruin Big Event】."

"【Major Event of Ruin】: Your current power of ruin is enough to cover the entire continent. Come, let pain and ruin permeate the whole world! Mission conditions: Let the black mist of ruin permeate the entire world, devour everything in the world, and transform all living beings in the world into your servants! Mission rewards: From now on, the power of ruin will no longer be restricted by level, can break the upper limit, and can be improved endlessly. Everything is linked to the host's own strength."

"Hehe, I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. Rafe, there's something I have to thank you for... If you hadn't burned the entire surface to ashes, turning all living beings into remnants of spiritual energy for you to exploit, I would have been really struggling with whether or not to completely abandon my principles to complete this mission. Now, I have no burden at all!!"

With a cold laugh, Wang Chong unleashed a torrent of black mist—no, it should be said, rose from the entire surface of Fuyuki Island—and rapidly spread outwards. In just a few seconds, the previously burned surface of the Japanese island was now completely shrouded in this decaying black mist. The remaining spiritual particles that had been extracted by the Human Incineration Technique were now being eroded and absorbed by the decaying black mist, transforming into countless ghostly spirits that continuously strengthened the decaying army and the decaying black mist itself.

Now the entire Japanese archipelago has become an "island of shadows".

"Losing my beloved—utter desolation everywhere!" Wang Chong uttered the classic line from the King of Ruin. After learning that the entire planet no longer had any real life, only remnants of spiritual energy used as fuel, Wang Chong unleashed the power of Ruin, recklessly devouring everything in its path. Black mist billowed, continuing to spread outwards from the "Shadow Isle."

"What...what exactly did you do? Although I knew you possessed that unfathomable power of black mist, how could the rate of its erosion be so rapid!"

Rafe stared blankly at the massive black fog that blotted out the sky. Especially since they could observe the entire surface of the earth, they knew very well how fast the black fog was eroding and spreading. It was likely that before long, the entire planet would be shrouded in the black fog, and the remaining spiritual particles used to provide magic power would be quickly plundered by the black fog and become part of the terrible legion within it.

"Soon? There's no need to be so surprised. When you humans burned down, didn't you also burn down the entire surface in just a few seconds? Compared to you, this is child's play."

Wang Chong's aura was also surging wildly! Increasing dramatically! His mere presence was enough to make Rafe almost breathless.

"Go back and tell your king that I want to experience the power of his great halo to see if it can kill me! A Thousand Years of Sighs!" With a single clench of his bare hands, Wang Chong crushed the black mist surrounding Leif's body, sending him back to the Temple of Time outside the world.

Chapter 392 Destroying the Demon Pillars and Goetia

In the Dimensional House

At this moment, a group of people gathered at the entrance of the Dimensional House, waiting for Wang Chong to open the door. Whether it was the three Servants who were staying at home—Jeanne d'Arc, Artoria, and Semiramis—or Leticia, Aozaki Touko, Sajō Aika, and others who were equally concerned about the outside world, they were all surrounding Irisviel and Aoi, who had just returned, asking about the current situation outside.

Only when the entrance to the dimensional house opened again did they see the man shrouded in black mist appear before them. Jeanne immediately stepped forward and asked, "Lord Wang Chong, what is happening outside?"

“There’s no time to explain all that. I need the help of the three of you. Artoria, you should be able to get out now that the outside environment has changed,” Wang Chong said.

After Wang Chong successfully killed Rafe, he immediately opened the gate to the Dimensional House and entered, intending to bring out Jeanne d'Arc, Artoria, and Semiramis to bolster his power. However, the external environment has been severely damaged, and the world has formed a massive singularity, no longer bound by the quantum recording belt. Therefore, Artoria is now able to appear outside.

“In that case, let’s go out with Mr. Wang Chong first.” Artoria nodded, knowing the importance and urgency of the matter, and went without further ado.

“Um… Your Highness.” Sajou Aika wanted to go out with them, but was immediately stopped by Wang Chong.

"Alright, Aika, it's not that I don't want to take you, but right now only those of us who have cast the Third Magic can go out. Because if we're not careful, we might be attacked by the burning of the surface. I'm not very confident that I can protect you all. Therefore, only Servants will come with me. The rest of you can stay here and wait for news. Don't worry, although the enemy is strong, he can't get into our area yet."

After Wang Chong finished speaking, he immediately led his three followers and stepped into the entrance of the Dimensional House. Soon, the entrance closed again in front of them.
