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

Upon returning to the familiar ice plains, Wang Chong immediately summoned Black Irisviel, who was there, to inquire how long he had been gone and what his current situation was.

"You've been gone for almost five days now. As for recent developments..."

Black Irisviel began to give a brief overview of some recent developments.

First, there's the matter between the Fourth Army and the Reunion Movement. The Fourth Army seems to have finally pinpointed the area where the Reunion Movement is located and has begun sending squads of soldiers into the mountains to explore its territory.

These teams were basically combinations of vanguard and Rift Beasts, so the Reunion Movement's guerrilla forces easily wiped out these small groups. However, precisely because of this, the Fourth Army began to continuously shrink the Reunion Movement's headquarters, and it is estimated that another major battle is about to break out.

Therefore, Wang Chong specifically checked his reputation points, which were more than 500 points higher than before. This likely represented the number of people the Reunion Movement had killed during this period.

After listening to Black Irisviel's report and confirming the current situation, Wang Chong did not hesitate and led Black Irisviel toward the headquarters of the Reunion Movement.

On the way, Black Irisviel continued to report on other matters.

For example, Honeysuckle has successfully entered the Eastern Kingdom and met her original husband. Amiya has also begun to master the techniques of White Luo's Extinction and Heavenly General's Rush...

However, Irisviel intentionally mentions here that since returning home, Honeysuckle seems to have had no intimate relations with her husband. Her husband, however, doesn't seem to notice anything amiss, simply assuming it's because Honeysuckle is overworked.

Wang Chong didn't pay attention to the matter of honeysuckle. Instead, he focused on asking about Amiya and Little Lisa. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Another thing to note is that Yan and Lungmen seem to have deployed more spies to the snowy plains of Ursus recently. Lungmen, in particular, seems to be planning to make direct contact with the Reunion Movement," Black Irisviel said.

"That's not surprising. Heh, after all, she's his niece; how could he ignore her? It seems he knows who the current leader of the Reunion Movement is," Wang Chong said with a smile.

"It's not that the master deliberately leaked the information. Those Lungmen agents who want to infiltrate the Reunion Movement to gather information are just dreaming," Black Irisviel said with a smile.

"If I don't leave any loopholes, it will make those people overly wary, which will actually hinder my plans across the entire continent. Besides Lungmen, are there any other sources of information? For example, those people from the Sarkaz royal court..."

Wang Chong sneered and said, "I blinded them, seized their troops, and even had Hedley continuously absorb more and more Sarkaz wandering in the Ursus snowfields, making them completely my own. Did they really not react at all?"

"They probably thought those Sarkaz they released would be loyal enough to the royal court. Little did they know, under the power of the Demon King and the power of your black mist, Master, they could only bow down and submit," Black Irisviel said with a smile.

"He had better pray he was careful enough, otherwise I wouldn't mind speeding things up and forcefully suppressing these troublemakers."

After Wang Chong finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes as he looked down and said, "Indeed, quite a few units of the Fourth Army have begun to approach this area... This protracted war is going to be a long one."

“We’ve arrived,” Black Irisviel said, pointing ahead.

Chapter 10 Making Full Preparations

According to Black Irisviel, the Reunion Movement headquarters had already begun relocating to a new base long ago after sensing the arrival of the Ursus army.

After all, according to Wang Chong's mountain guerrilla strategy, they had long ago designated the entire mountain range that spanned the eastern snowfield and the central icefield as their long-term battleground against Ursus.

Therefore, Wang Chong, now driving the Black Mist and guided by Black Irisviel, arrived at the mountainside of a new twin-headed mountain, where he rediscovered the location of the Reunion Movement's new headquarters.

"Mr. Wang Chong is back!"

The black mist has become Wang Chong's iconic symbol, essentially a characteristic that all Sentinels of the Reunion Movement must recognize. After all, the last time a newcomer wasn't recognized was a farce that all Sentinels took as a warning.

Soon, led by the sentry, Wang Chong easily found the camp and met Talulah, who had always been a hard-working woman.

"Ah Chong!" Upon seeing Wang Chong, Talulah was overjoyed and immediately hugged him.

"Why are you back so soon? Didn't you say it would be at least a week later?"

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. After a tight embrace and a good release of their longing after not seeing each other for several days, Talulah finally looked up and couldn't help but ask.

"There was a slight problem with the time conversion. But the overall issue isn't too serious, so I came back ahead of schedule. However, things aren't completely resolved yet, so I can only stay here for two and a half days. I'll have to go back after that and be away for a while."

Wang Chong then informed Talulah of the situation. Talulah sighed at first, but then nodded and said:

"It's alright, the situation here is not too bad. Although the Fourth Army has dispatched 5 troops to encircle and suppress us, the battlefield has already been divided into many parts in the mountains. It won't be easy for them to take us down."

"Especially with the threat of special forces, they have no way to avoid a decapitation strike. Now, these troops can only cower on the plains, except for coming in batches to die. They are now mostly waiting for the mercenary groups to arrive."

"A mercenary group?" Wang Chong murmured.

“Yes, there are many people on this continent who are exceptionally talented in Originium Arts. Although those mercenary groups are small in number, their combat power is astonishing. I'm afraid the ambush operations in the future will not be so smooth,” Talulah said involuntarily.

"It's alright. Just make those equipment from the blueprints as soon as possible and fully arm our soldiers. Only in this way can they withstand the high-intensity battles to come," Wang Chong said.

“I know.” Talulah nodded and then said, “Alright, come with me to find Yelena and the others. They haven’t seen you in a long time and miss you terribly, especially since the war started, time seems to be passing by more and more slowly.”

Wang Chong naturally nodded in agreement. Wasn't his return after this period of time precisely to soothe everyone's anxious hearts? Especially his own Arcueid, who was probably also feeling restless.

……

"Honey~ you're finally back!"

Arcueid's charge with the ball nearly knocked the unsuspecting Wang Chong to the ground with Arcueid's immense force.

"Hiss—Arquette, how much of your strength have you recovered?" Wang Chong gasped as he endured Arcueid's immense power.

"Yes, it has indeed recovered somewhat. Hehe, it feels like something has been added to this world, so it has recovered a little," Arcueid replied truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chong nodded. It seemed that, just as the system had said, as the influence of the Integration Movement, which he had created, grew, more and more Aether began to flow into this world.

This also signifies that his control over this world is growing stronger. Perhaps once he unifies the eastern region of Ursus, aether will completely permeate his territory.

At that time, the Servants I have arranged will all be at the level of destroying a country. Let's see who can conquer my territory.

"Come on, it's been a few days." Frostnova appeared behind Arcueid.

Wang Chong looked at the beads of sweat on the other person's forehead, slowly wiped them away with his fingers, and said, "Are you practicing?"

"Well... after all, only by improving our combat strength can we help Chong in the future." As always, Shuangxing was straightforward in front of Wang Chong, revealing all her thoughts to him without reservation.

"Don't push yourself too hard, after all, your body isn't fully healed yet," Wang Chong said with a smile, gently rubbing Shuangxing's cheek. Shuangxing simply nodded in agreement.

“Okay, I understand.” Frostnova nodded, her eyes full of tenderness, making even Arcueid, who was watching from the side, feel a little embarrassed.

"Oh, what an innocent little girl... I can't bear to give her my arms."

Although Arcueid thought this way, she hugged Wang Chong even tighter. After all, Arcueid also had her own jealous side and wouldn't give in so easily.

"By the way, Arcueid, where did Albion go? I haven't seen her." Wang Chong shook his head from side to side, but didn't see Albion, so he asked.

“Albion, that guy must have gone to grind his teeth.” Arcueid’s face immediately fell when he heard the name Albion.

"What's wrong? Did Albion cause you trouble?" Wang Chong asked, puzzled.

“I know that.” At that moment, Talulah’s voice came from behind.

"Albion's destructive power has been astonishing lately; she has chewed up many houses. There are already quite a few Reunion members who have expressed their opinions about this."

Talulah sighed and continued:

"If it weren't for Albion's many contributions as an aerial reconnaissance unit, they probably would have asked me to lock him up long ago. And Arcueid is also helpless in this matter."

"I can't control her anymore. After developing for a while, this wild dragon seems to have become smarter. Now, when she sees me intimidating her, she just flies far away. I can't catch up with her at all."

Arcueid said, quite troubled.

“Alright, it just so happens that I was planning to take Albion there,” Wang Chong said.

"Really? Wait... is it ready to start fighting over there?" Arcueid suddenly asked.

“Well, Arcueid, you’ll have to stay here for now. We need you. Once I get Artoria here, you can be free for a while,” Wang Chong said.

Since the only people present in the training ground right now are those who know about the Dimensional House and other worlds, they can speak freely about it.

Wang Chong's return to Terra was precisely to make all the necessary preparations for the Reunion Movement and to adjust some details.

Afterwards, Wang Chong also informed the group how the Integration Movement should deal with the upcoming situation and how to avoid meeting with others.

Now that war has broken out, and he's back, he can't just slip away like before. He needs to be in charge of the Reunion Movement, or at least let those fighting for it know he's there.

After all, in a sense, Wang Chong had become an invincible faith in the hearts of the Reunion Movement's fighters. With him by their side, everyone could fight on with unwavering confidence.

After settling everyone in and catching up with old friends, Wang Chong began his formal work: he needed two and a half days to get the Reunion Movement ready for war. Only then could he completely focus on resolving the first singularity in FGO.

Chapter 11 Albion's Helplessness

Wang Chong opened his eyes from the bed, glanced at Talulah and Frostnova who were sleeping with him in their arms, and made no move to wake them. He then transformed into a wisp of black mist and left the bed, before reforming his form.

Over the course of two and a half days, he met again with many key figures in the Integration Movement. In addition to bringing news of the Integration Movement members who had broken up into smaller groups and were transforming villagers in various rural areas, he also began to formulate detailed rules for the next phase of the resistance.

Under Wang Chong's command, the Integration Movement, which had already been set in motion to prepare for war, began to execute orders and plans efficiently. Everyone was fulfilling their duties and making thorough preparations for the upcoming maneuvering battle.

Wang Chong also resolved some lingering issues, such as those Reunion Movement members who were more severely infected with Oripathy.

Today, more and more people are receiving treatment with Wang Chong's blood, and many have even sworn to be loyal to him to the death.

Back with the special forces, Wang Chong reconnected with Surtr and then treated Specter's illness. During the treatment, Wang Chong also took the opportunity to inquire about other Deepsea Hunters from Skadi.

However, according to Skadi, she hasn't sensed any other deep-sea hunters approaching. So Wang Chong instructed Skadi to take good care of the ghost shark and, incidentally, to tease the somewhat naive little killer whale.

In addition, there's the matter concerning Frostnova. Since he began that incredibly intimate exchange of bodily fluids with Frostnova, her Oripathy has visibly begun to improve. In just a few times, the fragments of stone on the surface of Frostnova's skin have completely fallen off.

Her health had also improved significantly, and she no longer needed Wang Chong's black mist; her body temperature began to gradually return to normal. Although it was still not at a normal level, she could now eat some hot food without getting burned.

As for the relationship between Wang Chong and Shuangxing, Patriot, as their father, had already vaguely sensed it.

Seeing his daughter gradually recover her health and showing no signs of resentment around Wang Chong, the stubborn old father finally felt somewhat relieved and tacitly accepted their relationship.

However, while Patriots tacitly approved of Wang Chong secretly taking their prize, they wouldn't let him get it so easily. They would maintain their stance and continue to create obstacles as necessary.

Wang Chong and Shuangxing were also aware of this, so they happily played along with their proud father, teasing the stubborn old man from time to time, and occasionally showing a slight smile when they were alone.

The day of parting arrived once again. Two days passed quickly. After Wang Chong went out alone, he began communicating with a certain snake using the black mist. After giving his instructions, he headed towards Arcueid.

"Albion," Wang Chong called out, and a bright white figure descended from the rooftop.

Albion, with his adorable, almost demonic face, obediently approached Wang Chong and nuzzled his hand. No matter how fierce and rebellious Albion was in front of others, he was always as well-behaved as a good child in front of Wang Chong.

"From now on, you'll stay with me. Understand?" Wang Chong said, ruffling Albion's little head.

Albion seemed to understand what Wang Chong meant, nodding repeatedly, its little tail wagging excitedly. It was as excited as a puppy about to be taken for a walk by its owner.

"Good morning, darling~" At that moment, a lively voice rang out; it was Arcueid.

"Are they ready to set off?" Arcueid asked, seeing that Wang Chong had already brought Albion with him.

"Yes, but there's no rush. We'll set off this afternoon," Wang Chong replied.

Afterwards, Wang Chong took Arcueid for a short stroll around the Reunion Movement's headquarters. Once Talulah and Frostnova were up and had come to Wang Chong's side, the three of them worked together to begin gathering the infected within the Reunion Movement's headquarters.

Once all the infected had arrived, Talulah officially declared for the first time that the Reunion Movement possessed the power to temporarily suppress the outbreak of the infectious disease, which originated from Wang Chong's black mist power.

Most of the infected individuals were not too surprised by this because they had all received treatment from Wang Chong personally.

Talulah further elaborated that this time, in order to fight the Ursus legions for a long time, the battle lines would be quite long and spread across various regions.

In order to prevent the warriors from being affected by Oripathy without being able to suppress it in time, Wang Chong planned to apply a long-term infusion of black mist power to everyone to suppress the Oripathy on the infected for a long time and delay the outbreak.

At the same time, Wang Chong will also manufacture and distribute a large number of Black Mist Pills for future use.

Then, in front of everyone, Wang Chong began to pour his black mist power into everyone. Although it looked very strange, no one felt uncomfortable with the intrusion of this power; on the contrary, they felt extremely relaxed.

After the black mist power was applied to everyone, Wang Chong condensed a large amount of black mist and made 10,000 black mist pills, which he then distributed.

With the power of the Black Mist and the Black Mist Pill, the Reunion warriors could fight for more than a month without worrying about their Oripathy flaring up.

Just as the infected warriors were excitedly receiving the Black Mist Pills, someone suddenly noticed that Wang Chong's condition was somewhat off. Black mist was constantly emanating from Wang Chong's body, even obscuring his face.

Under questioning from the crowd, it was learned that Wang Chong had used too much black mist power at once, which weakened his body and caused his power to dissipate, resulting in the current situation where the black mist was spreading out uncontrollably.

Wang Chong's act of sacrifice naturally moved the infected to tears of gratitude, and many young men were inspired to fight back, vowing to drive out all the invading enemies.

However, only Talulah, Frostnova, and Arcueid knew that this was just a lie to facilitate Black Irisviel replacing Wang Chong in command of the army later.

Of course, the sacrifice was fake; the power of the black mist was real. Regardless of whether this charade was staged or not, ensuring that the warriors' combat effectiveness was not affected by their own illnesses was a necessary preparation.

Now, it's just something I did on a whim. With so many people as witnesses, for a long time to come, no one will doubt or find it strange that "Wang Chong" is shrouded in black mist.

"In this way, it won't arouse suspicion if Sister Black Alice appears in front of the public in place of us. With the cooperation of the three of us, we don't need to worry about command."

After distributing the Black Mist Pills and the warriors dispersed, Frostnova couldn't help but say something.

"In the future, as the battlefield gradually expands, small-scale battles will all depend on the command and operation of the squad leaders and platoon leaders at the front."

Talulah said slowly:

"Especially as our numbers grow, command needs to be decentralized. Only in this way can we achieve complete victory in long-term operations. And by then, we won't have to worry about Ah Chong always going to the battlefield and increasing the risk of exposure."

"Yelena, Talulah, and Arcueid, I'm entrusting the rest of the days to you once again."

After Wang Chong gave his instructions, the three women all nodded.

……

Afterwards, the high-ranking members of the various integration movements inquired about Wang Chong's unusual behavior. Only after confirming that most of them had seen Wang Chong's current strange appearance did Wang Chong summon Black Irisviel.

Black Irisviel, dressed in Wang Chong's clothes, then exuded a black mist that obscured her face. She looked no different from the current Wang Chong.

Wang Chong nodded, and amidst the four women's reluctant farewell, he led Albion back into the Dimensional House.
