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

“Choose one, Precyth.”

Chapter 338: Theresa's Entrance, the Demon Kings of Past Generations Appear

"Don't be naive, Amiya. You can't persuade her... just as she just said. She can't make decisions; she'll just eliminate threats to Project Originium one by one."

Wang Chong slowly said:

"You must know that the tragic fate of the Sarkaz race over the years, and the problem of the infected, are all inextricably linked to the plans of this woman in front of you."

"What?" Wang Chong's unexpectedly informative words left Amiya in disbelief for a moment.

"He's right, young demon king. But you can hardly be considered a demon king now."

Precys said slowly:

"However, Mr. Wang Chong, you don't really have much right to criticize me in front of her, do you? As the leader of the Reunion Movement, you've been pretending to be some kind of demon king or sage to deceive this young girl all this time..."

"In fact, in order to get to know my companion earlier—well, the doctor you've always longed for, Little Demon King—he's about to get his hands on him now, if I hadn't pulled him into this internalized universe first."

"Doctor!? And you, Professor...you're the leader of the Reunion Movement? But why would you..."

Amiya was clearly in a panic. The amount of information the two had given her was so overwhelming that she couldn't process it all. However, thanks to her ability to process emotions, she was able to confirm that neither of them was lying.

It was precisely this shocking reality that made it even harder for Amiya to accept.

"Heh, I thought you would have complete control over that girl, but I didn't expect you to break free. In that case, I suppose you wouldn't mind if I revealed the truth and let this little girl know that she was used by you, would you?"

Precys chuckled softly, then suddenly looked in the direction of the projected force as if sensing something, and said:

"I was wondering why I had reclaimed so little of a power, leaving that young demon king with a small amount of strength... So you haven't officially returned yet, former demon king."

“The previous Demon King…? Could it be…” Amiya’s eyes narrowed sharply, and she immediately looked in the direction Presace was looking.

A shadowy figure slowly emerged from the darkness. The newcomer possessed an impressively pure and flawless appearance, with long, pinkish-white hair cascading over her shoulders, and gentle pink eyes surveying the figures present.

She wore a pure white dress that extended past her knees, and traces of Originium crystals were visible on her left arm and near her shoulder. She wore rings on her fingers. A pair of black horns on her head were a prominent symbol of her racial identity.

At this moment, her expression was solemn and dignified, but the instant her gaze fell upon Amiya, her eyes melted like ice and snow, transforming into a deep tenderness.

For a moment, a natural gentle temperament and affability surrounded this "girl" whose age was hard to guess, making others feel affection for her.

“Amiya…it’s been a long time.” The other person’s voice seemed to carry a comforting warmth, and her gaze gently enveloped the somewhat bewildered girl. “Fate has finally led us to meet again, even if it is in this internalized universe.”

"Your Highness Theresa...it really is you."

In just a few minutes, Amiya felt that what she had experienced in those few minutes was more than the one or two years she had spent in a daze.

Having learned the truth about Originium, discovered that his respected teacher had deceived him and approached the Doctor, and now witnessing the former Demon Lord Theresa, who had died before his eyes, now appearing before him unharmed.

But soon, Amiya could sense that although Theresa was not a "dead" awakened by Precys, she was able to reappear in this place in a different special form.

“I can feel the turmoil in your heart, Amiya.”

Theresa leaned forward slightly, placing her hands on her abdomen, her tone full of understanding and pity:

"Too many truths suddenly surfaced, so heavy they were suffocating... At that moment, for the future of the Sarkaz, I had no choice but to entrust this overly heavy crown to you. I can clearly sense how much pain and confusion you've endured alone all this time..."

"Since fate has brought us together here again,"

Theresa's gaze was firm and powerful as she reached out her hand, like a protective wing.

"Then, lay down some burdens, Amiya. Now, rely on me. Just like before, are you willing to entrust this trust to me once again?"

“Your Highness…I understand. I am willing to stand with you once again.”

Amiya seemed to understand Theresa's words. After taking a deep breath, she immediately walked towards Theresa's direction.

Wang Chong did not stop Amiya from leaving, nor did he remove the black mist protecting her.

Seeing this, Prisus shook his head and said:

"That little rabbit clearly trusts her own kind more, yet you still can't bear to remove the protection? Sometimes I don't really understand why you have 'prophets' and why you place your trust and hope in them."

"I don't care..." Wang Chong spread his hands and shrugged slightly. "Now I'm facing you as my enemy. Naturally, I'll do whatever you dislike. What? Do you have a problem with that?"

"..." Faced with Wang Chong's words, Precys remained silent, took a deep breath, and then said, "You and the 'Prophet' really do have a talent for making people angry at times..."

"I'll take that as a compliment. So, after all this time preparing, are you done yet? If not, I'm going to make my move." (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

However, the moment he finished speaking, Wang Chong appeared at the location of Precys, and the power of his sword almost shook the space itself.

Theresa's face turned serious again upon seeing this scene. She had entered the internalized universe just as she witnessed Precys and Wang Chong locked in combat.

Prestis was well aware of this, having already learned the truth from the "Prophet." But she never imagined that someone on this land could not only fight this mastermind behind the Originium to such an extent, but even suppress him.

As for the Reunion Movement, she had certainly heard about it quite a few times from her brother Theresis. Now, after helping Amiya organize her memories and intelligence, she immediately sensed a conspiracy and something strange.

"Your teacher is unfathomable... and judging from his appearance, he also knows many truths about this world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken this opportunity to get close to you and the Doctor. The only thing that's unclear is how he entered the Black Crown Space."

"In short, Amiya, you have to be careful of that man. Although he protected and saved you in the end, and even took the initiative to break free from the brainwashing, that doesn't mean he did it out of kindness."

Theresa offered her opinion to Amiya for reference, and Amiya nodded slightly, looking at the man who was fighting with a complicated expression.

“Illusion? No, it’s a compensatory transfer… It has a similar effect to the All-Dor army formation we saw before.”

Wang Chong watched as Prisus disappeared before his eyes. He knew that his sword strike had failed to kill Prisus, and that Prisus's spatial coordinates had instantly distanced themselves from him.

It must be that the other party used some kind of Originium Arts to teleport him, and Wang Chong has already seen many figures emerge from the dense shadows, and those figures are the very powerful auras that Wang Chong just sensed.

"【The Knocker】, 【The Shadow in Whispers】, 【The Proclamator】, 【The Great Decay】, 【The Leading Singer of the Elegy】, 【The Bloodstained Prince】..."

As Theresa uttered the titles of those figures, a flicker of sadness and anger crossed her eyes. These figures were all former Sarkaz Demon Lords, and Theresa had inherited their memories and legacy the moment she received the Black Crown.

That's why she felt sadness and anger. The demon kings were now like puppets, controlled by that woman and used as tools in battle.

At the same time, the last four most powerful figures slowly emerged from the shadows.

The fourth Demon Lord, "Ranger King" Quiron, approached, wielding his entirely black sword inscribed with traditional Sarkaz script. He was the very Demon Lord who, in the original timeline, caused Amiya to shatter her ring and complete her first ascension.

The third demon king, "Sunbender" Barsa, possessed a colossal fire demon body that nearly surpassed the lava giant behind Surtr, and the scorching breath he exhaled distorted the surrounding space.

The second demon king, "City Builder" Gedu, is a stone-winged demon who is more skilled at creating buildings than fighting. He clasped his hands together under his feet, and in an instant, the surrounding space changed dramatically. Gray buildings spread outward from Gedu as the center, completely altering the surrounding terrain and environment.

Even the layout of these buildings subtly formed a new Sarkaz magic circle, efficiently activating the Originium energy of the entire internalized universe.

As the last figure slowly emerged, a powerful resonance resonated within the souls of every Demon Lord, including Theresa and Amiya.

“The First Demon King… ‘The Faraway’.” Just by facing him directly, Theresa could feel the call from the depths of her bloodline. If she wasn’t careful, she would be absorbed by this resonant power and develop a will to follow him.

Fortunately, Theresa's spirit was strong enough that she quickly resisted the call of her bloodline and helped Amiya alleviate her mental burden.

Fortunately, Theresa's spirit was strong enough that she quickly resisted the call of her bloodline and helped Amiya alleviate her mental burden.

At this moment, Wang Chong narrowed his eyes and counted the group of enemies. There were a total of 12 people. Including the Precyth who was surrounded by them, he sneered and said, "With this kind of personnel, do you think you are my Lia?"

"But that's perfect, this time I'll gather 13 powerful souls all at once."

Chapter 339: A New Hidden Side Story

Just before those demon kings were about to appear, Wang Chong's system suddenly issued a reminder:

“Host, those powerful auras are not simply data composed of Originium energy. They all have true ‘souls’.”

“A true soul?” Wang Chong frowned and asked, “Are you sure? Is Precyth so domineering that she can control the souls of all these people? If so, how come she was tricked by the two of them in the original story?”

"How should I explain this... Well, let's look at it from Type-Moon's perspective. You see the Originium Universe as a combination of the Recording Tape and Valhalla, and the heroes of Terra who died entered the Originium Universe and became Heroic Spirits."

"And now, Prestis is essentially Alaya summoning corresponding Servants to fight on behalf of those Heroic Spirits. Does that make it clear?"

The system explained.

"Oh, I see. I was wondering why this scene looked so familiar. Turns out I was still fighting a Servant battle."

Wang Chong raised an eyebrow, and after understanding all this, he slowly nodded and said.

"Yes, and host, due to your current special environment and the events that have occurred, the system has successfully triggered a new side quest. The quest details and rewards are as follows; please see if you wish to claim them."

The system immediately displayed the content to Wang Chong.

[Hidden Side Quest: Echoes of a Previous Civilization]

[Mission Description: You have come to know the true nature of this continent, and your path to domination will be interfered with by the guardians of this world. You care not for the survival of civilizations or extraterrestrial enemies; you only know one thing: as the ultimate villain, you will destroy everything that dares to obstruct your path to domination.]

[The first stage of the mission requires defeating the phantom of Prestis and the twelve demon king phantoms it summons. Completing this will unlock the second stage.]

[Task Rewards:]

1. Each Demon King phantom killed rewards 1000 Villain Points (killing the target completes the progress of [36 Sinful Souls]).

2战胜普瑞赛斯的幻影可获得1000反派点数，1次史诗级抽奖，1张技能升级卡。（杀死目标可完成【36罪恶灵魂】的进度）】

Hidden mission objective:

1. Successfully tame the phantom of Precys. This will grant an additional 1000 Villain Points, one Epic Draw, one Skill Upgrade Card, and one Originium Truth Fragment on top of the original rewards.

2. Successfully subduing the former Demon King Theresa will grant you 1000 Villain Points, one Epic Lottery Draw, one Skill Upgrade Card, and one Originium Truth Fragment.

"Accept it? Of course we should accept it! How can we not accept such a good mission?"

After reviewing the mission requirements and rewards, Wang Chong accepted the mission objective without hesitation. However, he was a little confused about the current use of these so-called fragments of the Originium Truth.

He now has a basic understanding of the things from the pre-civilization era, which is enough to handle things.

However, the system is unlikely to reward you with something completely useless anyway, so you'll understand once you get your hands on it.

After finishing his thoughts, time returned to the present. When Wang Chong saw the twelve demon kings appear, he merely sneered inwardly and said:

"With this kind of personnel setup, do you think you're my Liya?"

"But that's perfect, this time I'll gather 13 powerful souls all at once."

Regarding taming the illusion of Precys, Wang Chong held the attitude of doing it if he could, and giving up if he couldn't. After all, it was just an illusion; if he really had to choose to tame it, he would prefer to tame the true, original consciousness.

If taming fails, he can simply finish it off with one blow and add another soul. His current soul progress is 20/36; if he adds 13 more at once, he'll only need 3 souls to complete the substitute quest.

"This is the truly correct way to ensure the survival of civilization."

Then Prestis reappeared, and under her control, the demon kings all focused their attention on Wang Chong.

"That's not the correct way to use it..."

However, before Prestis could order the demon lords to make a move, another powerful aura appeared. Theresia was already armed, surrounded by spheres of dust the color of her hair, and she slowly walked towards the demon lords.

Even Amiya gathered her remaining black Originium energy and aimed it at Prisus.

"Hmm? You plan to deal with me so soon? I thought you, as the Demon King, would be more rational. You should know very well that both I and that man represent a threat to your Sarkaz race."

Precys looked at Theresa, who was approaching with hostility, and said:

"Your real approach should be to stand aside and watch until we've fought to a sufficient extent before you join the fray."

Theresa glanced at Wang Chong, then said:

"Even if that man has a grand scheme, it's nothing more than satisfying his ambition and selfish desire for conquest. But what you need to do is destroy everyone in Terra. The difference is self-evident."

"Besides, I don't need you to teach me how to do it. From the moment you summoned all the former kings to this place, we have been irreconcilable enemies!"

Amiya also spoke up after Theresa finished speaking:

“Miss Presence… Even as a phantom, you still possess your own will. You are not some fixed program; everything you do represents yourself.”

"You not only trampled on those dead, but also planned to destroy the entire Terra. Even... as the Doctor's friend, knowing what she was pursuing, you still subtly used the power of Originium to distort the Doctor's perception, gradually locking her mind and making her do the thing she regretted most..."

"How can I repay your injustice..."

Wang Chong was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Rabbit, who didn't have much power now, could still say those lines from before her transformation. He thought Rabbit was about to complete her transformation.

Unfortunately, after losing the continuation of civilization, the rabbit was powerless even if it wanted to unleash its full potential.

Upon seeing this, Precys merely smiled and said, "Well said, and your will is truly moving, but unfortunately... your genes and even your souls have already been altered."

Precys raised his hand, and a massive Originium reaction appeared. It was an unprecedented reaction, adjusted using the terrain created by Godu.

"Zawarudo—!"

The World Stand activated time stop again. Just as Wang Chong launched his charge, he was met with a fiery breath. It was none other than "Sunbender" Balsa, who ignored the time stop and continued to move and attack Wang Chong in the time-stopped environment.

Wang Chong frowned and dodged Balsa's fiery breath with a quick step. As soon as he finished his movement, he saw a longsword with inscriptions radiating cyan flames swing heavily toward his face.

"Flash Sheath - Seven Nights!"

Even while in time-stopped mode, Wang Chong was still faster. He struck first from behind, deflecting Quilon's longsword with a reverse strike, then thrusting his sword through Quilon and sending him flying.

However, just after he shook off Quilon, the Second Demon King, Gedu, clapped his hands together, and two huge stone balls attacked Wang Chong from above and below.

"Wood, big, big, big, big, big!"

Wang Chong stomped on the stone ball below, shattering it. At the same time, his Stand World unleashed a series of punches, smashing the stone ball above to pieces.
