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

“Well, I chose the King of Knights for three main reasons. First, the Saber group is definitely not anomaly Servants; they are normal Masters of the Holy Grail War, aligned with our position. Second, because of that Mordred anomaly Servant, the King of Knights, like us, will be a priority target, so it's most suitable for us to team up, making it easier to attract those anomaly Servants. Third, the King of Knights' left hand is damaged, preventing them from even using their Noble Phantasm, making them the weakest; recruiting them into an alliance will undoubtedly be much easier,” Wang Chong explained.

"That's true... Has Wang Chongjun considered Diarmuid and that Conqueror King?"

“Dirmed is quite good, but unfortunately, his Master isn’t very capable and will only drag us down. As for that Conqueror King… he has his own opinions and probably won’t be easy to recruit. Right now, the Knight King is undoubtedly our best choice,” Wang Chong said.

After discussing it for a while, Wang Chong and Joan of Arc continued their journey home. However, regarding their choice of partners, the two tacitly categorized a certain streetlight king as someone they couldn't win over.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Priest and the Golden-Haired Villain

Wang Chong and Joan of Arc returned to the house unharmed. After reviewing their findings and intelligence from the night, they went to sleep, preparing to greet the sunrise the next day. Of course, Wang Chong didn't truly rest; the real fun of the night was far from over.

So Wang Chong left only one clone in the room to rest, while he himself once again entered the darkness.

"System, you can claim the event reward now," Wang Chong said to the system as they moved forward into the night.

"Alright, ding—Congratulations, host, on successfully completing the [Holy Grail War: First Night, First Battle] event. On the first night, you not only displayed extraordinary power, making all the Masters and Servants remember you, but also revealed your true strength for the first time, successfully changing the course of the Holy Grail War, seizing the initiative, and causing every Master, even the Arbiter Jeanne d'Arc, to make a wrong judgment about the situation. Hidden behind the scenes, you manipulated everyone! Your villainous nature is beginning to show, and it is truly terrifying."

"This event has been accomplished and the host has displayed the demeanor of a major villain. Therefore, the host is rewarded with 2000 villain points, 3 epic lottery draws, 3 random skill cards, 3 Command Seals, 1 more ghosts, and an improvement in the quality of ghosts."

"There's even a direct reward of ghostly spirits? Let me check my Ruin Power progress bar... Sure enough, the experience bar for Ruin Power has increased by 5%, and it's now at 10%. But this shouldn't be because of those 1 people. You know, I absorbed tens of thousands of heroic spirits from the Conqueror King's legion, and I only increased my progress by about 2 or 3%. It seems the real reason for such a large increase is that the quality of those ghostly spirits has improved." Wang Chong was grinning from ear to ear after receiving this good news.

"However, according to this conversion, if I want to advance the power of ruin to the next level, which is level 4, I would need to absorb and generate at least a million heroic souls. Tsk tsk, and that quality has to be the same as the heroic souls of the Conqueror King's army. If it were just ghosts made from ordinary people, I don't know how many I would need."

"If Level 4 can hold so many wraiths, just thinking about Level 5 is terrifying. No wonder it's the Curse of Ruin that can sweep across the entire Runeterra and blot out the sun. It's just that it's countered by that thing, the Holy Stone of Light, which is quite a problem. It seems that in addition to improving my Curse of Ruin, I also need to develop in other areas."

"Including the skill card I got from Joan of Arc, I now have four skill cards and seven epic draws. But I'll wait until I have ten epic draws before doing that. System, draw some skill cards for me."

Without hesitation, Wang Chong asked the system to draw four skill cards to see if he could get some better skills to enhance himself.

"Ding—Congratulations, host, you have drawn the following skills: Leadership Aura C-level; Military Strategy C-level; Emperor's Privilege C-level; King's Judgment (King of Glory)."

"Wow, these skills I drew must have been intentional. They're all related to the King. Especially the last one, it even has a skill from Honor of Kings!"

Wang Chong glanced at the skill descriptions. Leadership charisma and military strategy were primarily related to large-scale team battles, offering limited personal improvement. Only the Emperor's Privilege provided a boost, and combined with his innate physical strength and bravery, his physical power was superior. As for the final skill, King's Judgment, which imbued all his attacks with a piercing effect, it was, to be fair, not bad.

"System, spend 600 points to upgrade my three C-rank items to B-rank. It's a pity that King's Judgment seems unable to be upgraded; it hasn't improved at all. However, it always deals damage through the target once, so it's not bad for ambushing people," Wang Chong said.

"Ding, all upgrades have been successfully completed." With the system notification, Wang Chong felt that his buffs had been increased again, and his strength had risen to another level.

"But the rewards are always skills and the like. Although my Broken King Sword is enough for now, I still want some powerful Noble Phantasms. Speaking of which, Gilgamesh has quite a few good things... Should I use a Master Ball to capture him? Tokiomi Tohsaka will probably have nowhere to cry then." Wang Chong muttered to himself.

"Forget it, as for Gilgamesh, if things proceed as normal, Kirei Kotomine and he are destined to end up together. It would be a waste to waste a Master Ball on him. Given Kirei Kotomine's current level of loyalty to me, I don't need to worry about him betraying me. Besides, I have something entertaining to do tonight." With that, Wang Chong contacted a priest who was busy at work.

……

"You've arrived, Dio-sama (Sir)." At that moment, a priest was about to kneel down respectfully to show his piety, but was stopped by the man in front of him.

"Kiri, although we are master and servant in reality, I have always regarded you as a like-minded friend," the visitor said calmly.

"I am deeply apprehensive," Kirei Kotomine said softly.

At this moment, Wang Chong once again transformed into Dio's appearance to meet Kirei Kotomine. Logically, he no longer needed to impersonate Dio to speak with Kirei. After all, having confirmed Kirei's unwavering loyalty and the double guarantee of the power of ruin, he had already explained everything to him. However, although he had told Kirei his real name, for some reason, Kirei still preferred to call him Dio and preferred the way he appeared as Dio.

"Could it be that golden retrievers have a natural ability to seduce priests?" Wang Chong thought with a chill. Fortunately, Kirei Kotomine's eyes were quite pure, without any worldly desires.

Wang Chong didn't seem to care much about Kirei Kotomine's humble words. Instead, he stepped past Kirei Kotomine and slowly walked to the edge of the building. Gazing at the towering restaurant, he put his hands on his hips and let out a soft chuckle. Kirei Kotomine followed him, also looking at the building, and said:

"That is the magic workshop built by Lord El-Melloi."

"Qili, how did you feel about the first battle tonight?" Wang Chong asked casually.

"To be honest, there are many interesting parts, and my favorite is the clash between the Servant named Mordred and the King of Knights. Of course, the worried looks on Father and Teacher's faces are also quite amusing. The fact that the Master has all his Masters under his thumb is something to be admired." Kirei Kotomine said, chuckling softly.

“You’ll see many more delightful things like this in the future. But, Qili, haven’t you noticed the gift I’ve carefully prepared for you yet?” Wang Chong said.

"A gift?" Kirei Kotomine was slightly taken aback. Did he have something interesting that he didn't know about?

"Emiya Kiritsugu... what do you think of him?" Wang Chong suddenly asked.

“Emiya Kiritsugu… Before I met you, Master, I was quite interested in this guy. He seemed to be like me, unable to find any motivation to participate in the Holy Grail War, so I really wanted to understand him. I felt like I was looking at myself in a mirror when I saw him. That’s why I was so interested in him when I was confused. However, after meeting you, Master, I no longer have these thoughts,” Kirei Kotomine replied somewhat seriously.

“You’re right about one thing: you and him are indeed like mirror images of each other.” After saying that, Wang Chong smiled and continued, as if he had thought of something interesting, “Oh, right. One of those two guys I deliberately let go after I had you chase them was Emiya Kiritsugu.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Kirei Kotomine's gaze changed slightly. Kirei Kotomine was a very intelligent person. Combining what Wang Chong had asked him to do before, he had already guessed what the so-called gift was.

"You should already know about my relationship with that Arbiter. You saw it too, I had that guy Emiya Kiritsugu deliberately shoot himself. And now, your teacher, your father, is also worried about the Masters of those extra Servants, right?" Wang Chong patted Kirei Kotomine on the shoulder and slowly said, "Oh, right, Emiya Kiritsugu is actually the true Master of that Knight King. And that Knight King had his left hand crippled by a certain Lancer, and he won't be able to unleash his Noble Phantasm unless the curse is lifted. So, what do you think will happen to this Knight King's Master?"

"I understand what to do." A hint of excitement flashed in Kirei Kotomine's eyes, and his body trembled involuntarily.

“I’ll give you some very useful evidence. When something happens in this building later, I’ll have my Mordred make an appearance nearby. I’m looking forward to seeing how you, Kirei Kotomine, will make good use of this gift—Kiritsugu Emiya… he’s entirely in your hands now, Kirei.” Wang Chong didn’t say anything more, and disappeared behind Kirei Kotomine in the next moment.

Kirei Komine took a deep breath and murmured, "He's a normal Master, but because he wanted to hide his decisions, he ended up being the scapegoat. Heh heh, how interesting."

Chapter 79 Who is the easiest woman to win over in Chaldea?

"Boom!"

Wang Chong watched from afar as the Hyatt Hotel, the tallest building in Fuyuki City, collapsed with a deafening roar. Just as in the original story, Kiritsugu Emiya, in order to break the curse on his Saber, resorted to blowing up a building to kill Kenneth. If Kenneth hadn't possessed the Mystic Code Moon Essence, he would likely have already perished at Kiritsugu's hands.

Kirei Kotomine is probably already off to have some fun with Kiritsugu Emiya and Maiya. His Servant Hassan has incredibly strong detection abilities; he pretended to let the two escape, but actually kept track of their movements the whole time.

As for whether Kirei Kotomine will capture the two of them all at once, or play hard to get, that depends on Kirei's own decision. However, Wang Chong guessed that he would probably choose to toy with them slowly.

"grown ups."

The voice of Kirei Kotomine reporting echoed in his mind, and Wang Chong said calmly, "Let them go?"

"Your Excellency is truly remarkable. My heartfelt wishes are perfectly clear to you," Kirei Kotomine replied respectfully.

“After all, the longer the scapegoat is caught, the longer we can keep him in the spotlight. Oh, and by the way, your servants must always stay close to him. Give him opportunities to communicate, but whatever you do, don’t let him escape back to the Einzbern family’s castle here,” Wang Chong said with a smile.

Why is that?

“Some misunderstandings cannot be resolved through mere verbal communication. The Einzbern family's misunderstanding, stemming from the fact that Saber and Kiritsugu haven't seen each other for so long, remains unresolved. What do you think will happen?”

“I understand. The misunderstanding will only worsen, eventually creating a rift and an indelible barrier, leading to a final break... As expected of you, Master,” Kirei Kotomine said.

"Alright, the direction has been set. How to handle it is up to you." Wang Chong hung up the contact with Kirei Kotomine and began to walk into the deep alley.

……

Matou family

"Everyone performed well today." Upon entering the hall and seeing all the heroic spirits present, Wang Chong praised them without reservation.

"Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble, Master? Even with that guy in this Holy Grail War, with our current strength plus yours, sweeping through this entire Holy Grail War won't be an easy task," Jeanne Alter said, leaning back in her chair with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Hehehe, Master's intention is not to kill those guys and win the Holy Grail War at all, but to make those guys please us." Stheno said with a strange smile.

"Huh? To please us? Although seeing that guy's shocked face today did make me quite happy... but Master, you wouldn't be having any ulterior motives towards that guy, would you?" Jeanne Alter looked at Wang Chong suspiciously and asked.

“Why not? It’s perfectly normal to recruit all the Heroic Spirits we’ve set our sights on. Besides, Joan of Arc and we had a relationship, even though we’re in a different world now and she doesn’t remember those memories. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could reunite?” Wang Chong didn’t mince words and directly expressed his thoughts.

Sure enough, Jeanne Alter immediately became agitated. She stood up and shouted, "Fine! So you still can't forget that guy! You still like her more, right? I knew it! I knew something was wrong when you were protecting her like a chick!"

“Jeanne d'Arc Alter…” However, Wang Chong did not say anything more, but slowly walked up to Jeanne d'Arc Alter and calmly looked at her excited face.

"Wh...what are you doing? Don't think I'll be scared just because you're looking at me like that." Facing Wang Chong's unfathomable eyes, Black Jeanne felt an inexplicable sense of oppression and could only wave her small fists in a threatening manner.

“Alright, Jeanne Alter, in my eyes you are not the same as Jeanne d'Arc.” At this moment, Wang Chong grabbed Jeanne Alter’s wrists and pulled her into his arms. Looking at her face, which was flushed from being pulled into his embrace, he said softly, “You are someone I personally created with all my heart and soul. I even shared my memories with you so that you could remember everything. These are things that Jeanne d'Arc never had. Don’t you understand how much I value you, Jeanne Alter?”

"Om-!!"

She heard the sound of boiling water and her face turned completely red. Black Jeanne couldn't contain her embarrassment. She flung Wang Chong's hands away, trembling, and slumped into the chair next to her. Turning her head away, she said in a trembling voice, "Hmph...hmph! You know what's good for you. Besides, I don't care about any of this stuff. Do whatever you want with that guy...whatever...do whatever you want."

Seeing Jeanne Alter's current state, Wang Chong knew he had basically passed this hurdle. He no longer needed to worry about Jeanne Alter's extreme behavior after he brought her back. He could only say, she truly was the easiest woman to handle in Chaldea.

"I have to say, Master, you're really something~ flirting like this right in front of us. Oh dear, it seems you no longer care about the glory of the goddess." At that moment, a sour voice rang out from the other side.

"Oh no, we're robbing Peter to pay Paul." Wang Chong looked towards the source of the voice, which belonged to Euryale, who looked resentful.

Just as Wang Chong was wondering how to resolve the situation, a voice broke the silence.

"I'm back... Hmm? Why is the atmosphere so heavy? Did I come back at the wrong time?" Mordred pushed open the door and immediately noticed the heavy atmosphere in the meeting room, with everyone silent. She frowned and asked.

“No, no, no, you’ve come back just in time, Mordred. Sit down and tell me how things are going.”

As luck would have it, Mordred's appearance temporarily resolved the awkward situation, so Wang Chong quickly asked Mordred to sit down and then explained the situation.

"Ah... If there's nothing else related to our schedule, could we leave early, Master? My good-for-nothing little sister suffered a lot of minor injuries in the battle, and I'm worried it might affect her development. So I need to get her checked out." Stheno said somewhat abruptly at this moment.

"Huh? Sister, my injuries aren't serious..."

“No! We said you need to have it checked, so we will. When did you become so independent that you dare to question your older sisters’ decisions?” Euryale said in a dangerous tone.

"Eek..." Little Medusa immediately fell silent.

“Go ahead, after all, this is Medusa’s first battle today. Although I should have recovered from all my wounds, I shouldn’t leave any hidden injuries.” Wang Chong nodded. He knew that the real reason she left was probably because he hadn’t been fair and had been too direct in his intimacy with Jeanne d’Arc, so she wasn’t in a good mood.

"I'll make it up to them properly after the meeting ends," Wang Chong thought to himself.

After the Gorgon sisters left, only Jeanne Alter and Mordred remained. Because Jeanne Alter was in a shy state and didn't listen much throughout the conversation, Wang Chong mainly focused the conversation on Mordred.

"That's basically it. Lancer's Master was really lucky; even with all that destruction, he wasn't killed. I was actually thinking of unleashing my Noble Phantasm on that mercury orb, but Master, you told me to hold back," Mordred said with a shrug.

"What do you plan to do about the Knight King?" Wang Chong asked.

"...I don't know." Mordred remained silent for a long time after hearing the question, and finally gave this answer. "When I saw my father again, I thought I was ready. I also thought that because of my death, or perhaps because of my father's death, she might change. But nothing happened... Sometimes I wonder what I really want to do."

“Especially when I saw the Conqueror King’s army appear, I felt very strange. I don’t know why my mind was in such a mess. I compared my father to that king. We used to be like those soldiers, trusting our father completely. But in the end, our father’s figure became more and more lonely. We were always watching our father, but it seemed like he never looked at me… Yes, not just me, it seemed like our father’s gaze never saw anyone.”

Mordred's eyes showed an unusual look of confusion. She looked at her Master, whom she trusted most, and asked, "Master, if you were me, what should you do next?"

Chapter 80 The Goddess's Mischief (Part 1)

"Me?" When Mordred asked him, Wang Chong thought for a moment, but finally shook his head slightly. Although he was clear about the fundamental conflict between Mordred and the Knight King, this conflict had to be resolved by Mordred herself. Outsiders, even himself now, would only make Mordred more unhappy if they pointed it out rashly.

"Master doesn't know either?" Mordred was a little disappointed when she saw Wang Chong shake his head. However, she quickly put it aside, after all, it was her own private matter.

“Although I don’t know how to do it, I know a way to help you get rid of your confusion, Mordred,” Wang Chong said, exhaling.

"What method?" This piqued Mordred's curiosity. Did his Master have some good way to help him figure out these problems?

"Do you remember how we got to know each other, Mordred?" Wang Chong asked.

"Hmm? We had a fight before, what else are you talking about... For warriors or knights, nothing can help them understand each other better than a battle, using fighting and swords to confirm their will and understand each other... What do you mean?" Mordred said, his eyes seeming to have a hint of understanding.

"The Holy Grail War... is a stage for all heroic spirits who strive to fulfill their innermost desires. Mordred, you are one of them, and so is that Knight King. Your doubts and confusion all stem from your battle with the Knight King, from the clash of your respective obsessions. And the one who tied the knot must untie it." Wang Chong stopped there.

"I see... Hahaha, I must say, Master's method is just what I like." Mordred laughed heartily, the gloom between his brows dissipating considerably. He said, "You're right, Master. The Holy Grail War is such an interesting place. I will continue to fight, carrying this confusion, carrying this question, I will continue to fight! I will fight against my father, I will fight against those Heroic Spirits who stand in my way! I will trust my instincts, I will trust my blood and my sword."

"Yes, I believe that in the end, Mordred, you will find your own answer. So, keep fighting for me."

"Yes, Master! I will overcome all obstacles and defeat any enemy!" Mordred smiled brightly, his eyes filled with fighting spirit and seriousness.

……

After Mordred had dealt with her worries, there was basically nothing else to do, so she was allowed to rest before leaving. Jeanne Alter, seemingly with a hint of something amiss, was happily and naively coaxed back to her room.

"Sigh, hell lies ahead." After dealing with his other two Heroic Spirits, he'll face the goddesses' punishment next. To be honest, he's developed a deep bond with the Gorgon sisters after spending so much time together. So Wang Chong has never put on airs in front of the rather willful sisters.

However, matters of the heart require not only mutual affection but also nurturing and communication. Even the strongest relationships will inevitably develop rifts if contact decreases or misunderstandings persist. This is human nature, and even these seemingly ethereal goddesses are not immune. Don't ask Wang Chong how he understands this so well; don't forget that what he's doing now is poaching people and sowing discord.

"Forget it, I'll just cooperate with them and appease them. They probably won't do anything too outrageous." With that thought, Wang Chong opened his room door without hesitation and went inside.

"The goddess's smile~"

"The goddess's gaze~"

As Wang Chong entered, two sexy, scantily clad goddesses were lounging on the bed, their white legs crossed. Their skin was like porcelain, their eyes sparkling with desire, and they exuded a deadly allure. Even more arousing was the fact that their clothes were almost completely open, revealing large expanses of snow-white skin and glimpses of their private parts.

Upon seeing Wang Chong enter, the two goddesses of mischief sat quietly on the edge of the bed with playful smiles, unleashing their ultimate seductive goddess powers and once again displaying their goddess charm, completely igniting the desire in Wang Chong's heart.

"Actually... there was no need for you two to open it the moment I walked in..."

"Shut up, Master has been getting more and more outrageous lately. It was one thing to spend all day out and about with that blonde woman before. Now he's even being intimate with other women in front of us. It seems Master has already grown tired of our charm and is no longer interested." Euryale's face was tinged with shadows, and her resentful gaze was something even a long-suffering, bitter woman would never possess.

"So this is punishment, Master. This is punishment for forgetting the goddess and ignoring her favor. Come here obediently, my foolish Master, it's time for you to remember who your little one really belongs to." Stheno's eyes became quite dangerous at this moment. With a flick of her finger, under the influence of her power and Wang Chong's lack of resistance, Wang Chong allowed Stheno to control him, closed the door, moved a chair over, and made him "obediently" sit in front of the two goddesses.

"Let me think, how should I punish Master? Euryale (me), do you have any good suggestions?" Stheno swung her fair little feet and turned to Euryale to ask.

"Hmph! We must teach our Master a lesson he won't forget, make him waver between pain and pleasure, make him fear us, and make him never forget the taste we gave him, the unique taste that only we can give him." Euryale, as if venting her anger, kicked high into the air, aiming straight for Wang Chong's chin, as if she wanted to kick the Master who had hurt her so badly away.

However, those delicate, baby-pink feet dangled just a moment before Wang Chong's eyes, and a refreshing fragrance filled his nostrils. Wang Chong immediately felt his throat go dry, and a growing arousal rose within him. The two goddesses' jade feet were like priceless treasures, captivating his gaze. When he noticed his own transformation, he discovered that Stheno and Euryale had already noticed.

"Oh, Master, you're already getting excited? You should know this is punishment, right? Or is this your license to act recklessly?" Stheno said flippantly, her goddess threads glancing at the high-supported tent, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Stéphane sat gracefully on the edge of the bed, placing her right foot on Wang Chong's chest. Her long, slender toes were as white and smooth as jade, and the soles of her feet were as pink and tender as a baby's skin. Wang Chong felt a fragrant breeze waft over him and couldn't help but stick out his tongue, wanting to lick those jade-like feet.

"Don't touch me, Master!" Stheno narrowed her eyes, her tone laced with threat. "Don't forget, this is punishment. You can only watch as we do as we please, whether we use our feet, our hands, or even the depths of that cave. If you dare to act on your own, we will not only stop immediately, but we will also subject you to unimaginable wrath."

Wang Chong had no choice but to nod. To quell the unpleasantness the two goddesses had just experienced in the conference room, he wouldn't disobey their orders. Stheno smiled with satisfaction, gently rubbing her foot against Wang Chong's chest, feeling his heart race. Her toes playfully traced his collarbone, finally reaching his Adam's apple, where she lightly pressed it with her toes.
