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

"Beren! Damn it!" At that moment, a curse rang out behind Wang Chong, and a gust of wind blew. But this time, Wang Chong neither dodged nor avoided it. He simply turned around and ran headfirst into the opponent's spear blade.

"Clang—!"

However, when the spearhead struck Wang Chong, it produced a metallic clanging sound, and the spear tip snapped and shattered. This bizarre scene caused the combat dummy to exclaim in surprise, "What! How could this be?"

However, her thoughts could only go so far, because the other person's hand had already gripped her wrist, which was holding the gun. And so, another frozen doll appeared before Wang Chong.

"It would be such a waste to destroy these dolls. System, is it alright to put these two ice sculptures into my system space? They've already lost all signs of life," Wang Chong said. His system space could hold anything except conscious, living beings, so Wang Chong was curious whether the androids frozen into ice sculptures could be put into his system space.

"Ding—Okay, host, just touch it."

"Hmm... give me some special effects to disguise it. When I collect the ice sculpture, you can make it look like it's shattered into ice shards. The commotion just now has already caught the Einzbern family's 'Sky Eye' attention here." Wang Chong glanced sideways in a certain direction, his attitude completely unconcerned.

"OK, the special effects have been designed. Host, please use them as you see fit," the system said.

And so, Wang Chong pretended to break the ice sculptures and put them into his system space. Then he brazenly continued walking towards the Einzbern residence, making no attempt to hide himself.

……

Wang Chong strolled leisurely through the Winter Forest, having already collected nearly 50 Einzbern family dolls, a testament to the Einzbern family's wealth and resources. However, he hadn't seen a combat doll attack for over 10 minutes.

"Now that they know they're no match, they're no longer sending those puppets to attack, but instead preparing to use the large-scale magic from the castle?" Wang Chong quickly guessed the Einzbern family's reaction. He had been hoping to slowly collect more puppets, but he hadn't expected them to be so clever as to not just send those puppets to their doom.

"In that case—let's go straight to Snow City." Wang Chong stopped wandering around the Winter Forest and began preparing to head towards Snow City.

"Ding—You have used your scheme to completely kill Araya Souren, causing him to die tragically at the hands of Sajo Ayaka. You are rewarded with 500 villain points."

"Ding—You are the most powerful villain because you killed Araya Souren, completely disrupted the original destiny of the heroine Ryougi Shiki, and brought her under your command! Reward: 1000 Villain Points, one Epic Lottery Draw, and one Mystic Eyes of Death Perception Skill Card Fragment. You have now collected three fragments and synthesized the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception Skill Card. Your current Villain Points are: 6040 points."

"Attention! Attention! You have been locked onto by an unknown entity! Attention! Attention! You have been locked onto by an unknown entity!"

"Holy crap!?"

Chapter 136 World and True Ancestor

Holy crap!

Upon hearing this series of system notifications, Wang Chong was shocked. What did it mean? Araya Sōren was dead? And killed by Sājō Aiko? Araya Sōren, you really dared to make a move.

However, none of that matters. The important thing is that it seems I've already been targeted by Green Song. Could it be that Green Song can figure out that I was the one who used her to kill Araya Sōren?

"Ding—You have killed Aruba, who died at the hands of Sajou Ayaka. You are rewarded with 300 villain points. Your current total is 6340 villain points."

At that moment, another system message appeared in front of Wang Chong, it seemed that the duo's search for roots had come to a complete end. However, Wang Chong didn't care about that; he began to think about how he should deal with this sudden situation.

"Green Song... If it's just Green Song, that's fine, but I'm afraid it might bring out the 666 Beast, then that would be troublesome... Tsk, let's see if we can talk him out first, and if that doesn't work, we can try using the Master Ball... The Master Ball should be able to hold people, right? After all, it says on it that as long as something is alive, God can catch it for you to see." Wang Chong thought.

"I don't know if she's targeting my clone or my main body. But even if she targets my clone, I'm not worried about her coming. I'm just worried that she might interfere with my plans."

"Host, how about trying a ten-pull? We just received another epic-level reward, so you can do a ten-pull now," the system reminded you.

"You've reminded me, System. Now, perform an epic ten-pull!" Wang Chong said.

"Ding—Drawing..." The system displayed the lottery interface, followed by a golden special effect.

"Congratulations, host! You have drawn the following items: Summoner Spell Heal, Summoner Spell Teleport, Spell Invisibility, Spell Blood Kiss (Kiss-Shot), Spell Blood Conversion (Crimson Reaper), Spell Heroic Stance (Rank B), Blood of the True Ancestor, Spell Upgrade Card, Stand: World, and 1 Villain Template.

"Awesome!" That was the only word in Wang Chong's mind after seeing all the items he'd won. As expected of an epic lottery, everything he got was amazing.

"But... most of them really are vampire-themed. I'm starting to suspect that System, you deliberately changed the gacha pool to include vampire-related items from various worlds. Especially Stand: The World. Hmph, now I'm definitely a bootleg Dior." Wang Chong immediately bound himself to the Stand stored in the system space. Soon, a strange connection was established, and then that familiar golden figure appeared behind Wang Chong—The World!

"Smash—Valudo!" Wang Chong shouted.

"Om-"

In an instant, a golden filter was applied to the entire world centered on Wang Chong, and everything seemed to freeze in time. Wang Chong tried to move his body, even taking a short jog. Sure enough, he was now able to move within the frozen time.

"Drink!" Wang Chong even kicked a large tree in half, causing the onlookers, who were hoping to show off their skills, to freeze in surprise. Wait, something seems off about my master?

So what happened to the promise that all the fighting would be done by Stands, and that Stand users would only be responsible for outsmarting each other?

However, it wasn't long before Wang Chong felt a sense of stagnation and pressure, which intensified the longer he remained in the time-stopped state. Ultimately, Wang Chong had no choice but to exit the time-stopped state.

"13 seconds? In terms of time stop duration, that's already surpassed Dio's. This is my first time using it, and it's far from my limit. It seems that in terms of physique, I've already surpassed the so-called vampire physique. I really wonder how long my time stop can last after absorbing that True Ancestor's blood and undergoing training." Wang Chong had the system help him time it, and soon knew the length of his time stop.

"System, after becoming a True Ancestor, will I also have the urge to drink blood? If so, forget it, I don't want to really turn into some kind of monster." After Wang Chong made his substitute disappear, he took out the blood of the True Ancestor and said.

"Don't worry, host. It's just that you've acquired this physical constitution, which means your fundamental nature is still human. This kind of blood-sucking urge has already been optimized away. However, the True Ancestor's own blood-sucking urge wasn't that strong either," the system explained.

"That's good. System, how do I use this True Ancestor's Blood? Should I swallow it or..."

"You silently recite the instructions to use it, and the drop of blood will automatically be integrated into your body."

Following the system's instructions, Wang Chong used the True Ancestor's Blood. The overly vibrant red blood merged into his palm, and a strange sensation spread from his hand throughout his body. Crimson auras began to emanate from his body, spreading outwards. Rather than being mere red auras, it was more like blood mist, vaporized from the blood itself.

"Invisibility!" Wang Chong didn't forget that he was likely still being monitored. Although he had just used Time Stop to move a distance, he estimated that the other party would find him soon. Wang Chong didn't want the Einzbern family to see this change in him.

He continued forward while remaining invisible, waiting for the strange sensations within him to subside. Soon, the blood mist returned to his body, and Wang Chong had already deactivated his invisibility, assessing his current strength.

"So powerful, my strength has doubled compared to before. And I also feel that I have a lot more useful things in my mind... However, this is, after all, the world of Heroic Spirits. Although my True Ancestor physique is not suppressed by the restraining force, there are still many limitations." Wang Chong waved his fist, felt the power from the True Ancestor, nodded and said.

"Now, host, you should feel more confident facing the challenges ahead. Putting aside other abilities, the immortality of a True Ancestor is not something easily defeated. At least you don't have to worry about being torn to pieces by Sajō Ayaka anymore," the system joked.

"Damn it, I just want to give others a happy 17 split, but I don't want to be split by others myself."

After Wang Chong finished complaining, he looked at the Snow Castle of the Einzbern family and said, "Now that everything is almost ready, it's time to finish dealing with things here as soon as possible."

……

"Crack..."

The gate closed, and Wang Chong entered the Snow City without any hindrance. He first secretly released an imperceptible black mist to search for Ilya's whereabouts, and then slowly walked step by step towards the central area of ​​the hall.

The entire hall was shrouded in a faint, eerie blue light, utterly silent, like a ghost town. Only the sound of Wang Chong's footsteps could be heard.

"prick--"

Suddenly, a slight cracking sound rang out, and Wang Chong felt as if he had kicked something through. Immediately afterwards, countless whooshing sounds came from the right.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!"

Wang Chong immediately swung his fist, completely knocking away those objects that were breaking through the air.

"These are... needles?" Wang Chong frowned as he felt the stinging sensation in his fist.

Chapter 137 The Rhine Gold

"Is this a needle?"

Wang Chong used his fists to smash all the needles that suddenly attacked him, his body swaying slightly. At that moment, he felt his shoulder touch something that had broken off.

"Bang bang bang-!"

A sound like cannon fire suddenly rang out, this time unleashing a barrage of sharp spikes at Wang Chong. Wang Chong frowned slightly and once again blasted away all the spikes with his fists. This time, he didn't use the destructive power within his body; he wanted to test just how much his True Ancestor physique had strengthened his body.

The hardness and stinging sensation of the spikes were significantly improved compared to the previous fine needles, but they were still no match for Wang Chong's True Ancestor Physique fists, and were mercilessly crushed.

However, just as Wang Chong was swinging his fists to block the spikes, he suddenly felt the thread snapping again from his left fist. Wang Chong immediately realized that he must have triggered something bad again.

As expected, a loud eagle cry rang out, and a giant eagle made of silvery-white threads swooped down. After Wang Chong dodged the eagle's talons, the giant eagle spread its wings, and countless feathers made of silvery-white threads shot towards Wang Chong. Wang Chong snorted coldly; he could even shatter needles and sharp cones, let alone mere feathers. Then, Wang Chong once again used his fists to blast away the countless feathers that were flying towards him.

"Snap—"

"Shhhhh-"

However, the instant his fist shattered the feathers, Wang Chong sensed something amiss. Instead of crumbling and falling to the ground as before, the feathers, struck by brute force, spontaneously disintegrated into threads, reforming into numerous silver needles that bypassed his fist and attacked Wang Chong directly. Caught off guard, Wang Chong, after shattering many feathers, found himself covered in these silver needles.

"Is this... the Einzbern family's branch of alchemy—metal manipulation?" Wang Chong remembered this giant eagle. He had seen Irisviel use this magic formula to attack Kirei Kotomine in her memories, but Kirei Kotomine forcibly broke through it because of the strength of the magic.

However, the silver threads in front of him were much stronger than Irisviel's giant eagle. Just now, Wang Chong could feel that those silver needles almost pierced his skin.

"A kiss of blood".

Seeing that he couldn't stop the feathers with just his fists, Wang Chong immediately used his newly learned skill to manipulate his blood to condense in his hand, forming a blood-red blade that continuously cut the feathers apart. He also used the power of his blood to forcefully extinguish the magic on the silver threads, preventing them from turning into silver threads to kill him.

However, because his attack range had increased, Wang Chong felt himself severing many strange threads in an instant. He deduced that once those threads were broken, they would form powerful attack methods. Sure enough, many familiars made of silver-white threads appeared throughout the hall. They were either ferocious beasts or simple killing tools, and they all attacked.

"This is never going to end!"

However, Wang Chong's severing of several trigger threads was intentional; he had already detected the magical fluctuations and successfully discerned the foundation of the magic formula. Wang Chong then raised his leg high and forcefully stomped on an inconspicuous paving stone.

"Om-"

In an instant, the attacking familiars and artifacts abruptly stopped. Centered on the spot where Wang Chong had stepped, a large magical transmutation circle began to appear on the ground, emitting a continuous stream of silvery-white light. At the same time, the silvery-white threads that had been hidden in the air also began to glow. These threads densely covered the entire space and were constantly moving and shifting their positions. Several of these threads were connected to the familiars.

"What a grand display, patriarch of the Einzbern family. Now that I've discovered you, are you still going to continue hiding like a coward?" Wang Chong looked at the silver threads that moved closer to him, knowing that any action he took would trigger the large alchemy array again, unleashing countless deadly attacks upon him.

“…I never imagined that my Einzbern family would be forced to this extent one day.” At this moment, a somewhat aged voice echoed in the hall, and an elderly man who looked rather old slowly walked out from behind the curtain. The newcomer was none other than the head of the Einzbern family—Yubstakuhaid von Einzbern, or, of course, he had a simpler title—Ahad.

"The power to manipulate blood... Is it blood magic? No, blood magic alone couldn't possibly produce a body far exceeding human limits, coupled with such a repulsive aura... So there's only one answer. I never imagined that a Dead Apostle, hidden in history for so many years, would appear in the Einzbern family today." Ahad scrutinized the man who had invaded the Einzbern family, and the conclusion he drew made his heart sink. The moment the man displayed blood magic, he had already sent a plea for help to the Holy Church, explaining the presence of what appeared to be a Dead Apostle.

"What exactly do you want to do at my Einzbern residence? We don't have anything that would meet your standards, do we?" Ahad tried to stall for time with words. He didn't know if the transmutation array he had built based on this castle could stop the other party, but as long as he could hold out until the personnel from the Holy Church's Burial Agency arrived, they would surely be able to seal the other party away.

"Hmph, I've heard that during the Age of Gods, the legendary Rhine Gold fell into the hands of your Einzbern family. That thing is not something you mere humans could possibly possess; you can't handle it. Hand it over to me, and I'll let your Einzbern family go today." Of course, Wang Chong wouldn't reveal that his true purpose was to abduct Ilya. As for why he knew about the Rhine Gold, it was something that the Heroic Spirit Siegfried in the game had personally mentioned.

"I never expected he would come for this... Currently, no one else knows about this except me. How did he find out about it? The Rhine Gold is a crucial cornerstone for the Einzbern family to realize the Third Law, and it is the foundation for the Einzbern family's prosperity since the Age of Gods! We must not let it be taken away!" Ahad thought to himself.

Rhine gold possesses the power to self-reproduce, making it, in a sense, an inexhaustible treasure. The Einzbern family's enduring prosperity is inseparable from this treasure, a testament to their mastery of alchemy and homunculus technology. Even the Heavenly Garment was crafted with materials enhanced with Rhine gold.

However, as everyone knows, in the Nibelungenlied, the Rhine Gold is most famous not for these characteristics, but for the curse it carries, which can bring extreme misfortune and even death to anyone who possesses it. This is perhaps the real reason why the Einzbern family has never won a single Holy Grail War, and even the Holy Grail has been corrupted, forever unable to fulfill their long-cherished wish (laughs).

“I don’t know where you heard this from. The Einzbern family doesn’t have what you’re looking for!” Ahad said directly.

"Hmph? Then there's nothing to talk about. It seems the Einzbern family, with its long and distinguished lineage, will perish here today." A cold glint flashed in Wang Chong's eyes as he spoke.

"Whether we perish here or not is not up to you!" Ahad, staff in hand, lightly tapped the floor. An even larger transmutation circle extended from beneath his feet, filling the entire room with circuits and transmutation arrays. The magical concentration in the air reached an unbelievable level; the silver threads in the air trembled wildly, and the familiars, imbued with life by the Einzbern family's artistry, prepared to attack Wang Chong.

"This is a transmutation circle that our Einzbern family has carved for generations. It is the ultimate alchemy, carved with the entire castle as its foundation! Every time a thread is broken, a storm of attacks will follow, and the more threads are destroyed, the more powerful this transmutation circle will become! Even if you are a Dead Apostle, you will be completely consumed under this transmutation barrier with a radius of 20 meters! Your every move will be completely controlled by the transmutation circle!" Ahad said in a deep voice.

"I have already reported your appearance to the Holy Church. It won't be long before the Burial Mechanism arrives here and seals you away completely! Surrender obediently!"

Chapter 138 Zawaludo

At this moment, Ahad, the head of the Einzbern family, was facing off against Wang Chong. Both sides had reached their peak of power and were about to unleash their most intense battle.

Finally, as Wang Chong took a step forward and walked towards Ahad, Ahad stopped gathering his strength and shouted, "Take this! A transmutation array barrier with a radius of 20 meters!"

In an instant, the entire transmutation array emitted intense magical fluctuations. The familiars, who had been poised to unleash their power, charged towards their target. The surrounding threads also began to move violently, making way for the familiars while simultaneously constricting Wang Chong, attempting to completely bind him.

"Fool... Let me show you the true terror of us inhuman beings!" Wang Chong said casually with a wicked smile. Looking at this somewhat familiar scene, Wang Chong, who had originally intended to pull out his "Lulu Bulei Card" and stab it into the alchemy array below, now felt it would be a waste not to use that move.

At this moment, Ahad felt a sudden, inexplicable tension. A feeling of impending death welled up from the bottom of his heart. What was wrong? Did the Dead Apostles have some unknown killing move that could completely destroy the carefully laid plan of theirs?

"Smash—Valudo!!"

A golden figure appeared behind Wang Chong. Of course, Ahad couldn't see it, but even if he could, it would be useless, because in the next instant he regained consciousness, he was about to face death.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and the entire world was bathed in a golden filter. Wang Chong floated up, manipulating his Stand World to casually annihilate all the meticulously laid threads, even easily blasting away the familiars that stood in his way.

And so, Wang Chong stood before Ahad without any hindrance, and said softly, "This is... my 'world.' But for you, whose time has been stopped, you can't see or feel anything."

"The Einzbern family's dream should end," Wang Chong said coldly. His Stand, World, punched Ahad through the body. Seeing Ahad's still solemn expression, Wang Chong said, "You didn't even realize you were dead, did you? You couldn't possibly know what just happened."

Then, Wang Chong returned the world to his body, and the time stop was also ended by Wang Chong.

"Pfft!!"

Ahad felt his body fly out in an instant, an unimaginable pain surged from his chest, and he was slammed against the wall behind him, his blood staining half of the wall red.

"What...what happened? The transmutation circle should have been able to capture the target...why did it...in the next instant, turn into this?" Ahad realized he had suffered a fatal injury and was on the verge of death. Because his life force had been cut off, the transmutation circle lost its controller and collapsed, backfiring on the various artificial puppets. In just a moment, the entire Einzbern family was on the verge of destruction.

"I...I'm not reconciled...I didn't get to see the Einzbern family's long-cherished wish fulfilled." With resentment, the eighth head of the Einzbern family, who had clung to life for two centuries, died completely.
