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

"It's simple. As long as His Highness entrusts me with the full power of the Holy Grail, and I activate Age of Gods magic like 'Holy City Flame' and 'Holy City Fall' to successfully summon the Apocalyptic Beast, then the True Ancestor's princess will be easily captured... Ouch! ...

Before Ayaka Sajou could finish speaking, Wang Chong used his fists to press down on both sides of her head and twist it violently, causing her to fall silent from the pain.

"What do you want to do? Summon the Beast of 666, let alone whether it can actually defeat the True Ancestor. Are you trying to take me down with you? Huh? You want me to summon this thing? Can you handle it? You're just going to summon it like that? And you even want to borrow one of my sources of power, the Holy Grail. Are you trying to help me or harm me?" Wang Chong said, increasing his pressure to make this guy who coveted his Holy Grail realize his place.

"I'm sorry!" Although Ayaka Sajou said apologetically, there was no trace of remorse on her face. On the contrary, the pain made Ayaka Sajou feel good again.

"Ouch...it hurts so much! As expected, His Highness is such a tsundere. He scolds me, but he really approves of Aika~ Aika must protect His Highness!" Aika thought to herself, drooling with excitement.

Chapter 221 The Eve of the Fourth Night

Wang Chong quickly stopped punishing Sajō Aika. He realized that punishment, especially corporal punishment, was no longer punishment but a reward for the now-perverted masochistic Sajō Aika. Continuing might even fuel her interest.

As for the Holy Grail power, it was naturally impossible for him to give it to Ayaka Sajō. Not only had that thing been completely assimilated by his own power of ruin, it was also uncertain whether it could still be used for those Age of Gods magics. Most importantly, it was one of his biggest trump cards, and he would not use that power to overturn the table unless absolutely necessary.

"Alright, stop fooling around. The sun has already set. The time for the Holy Grail War is almost here. Now hurry back to the mezzanine living area and help hide Sakura, Shiki, and Illya's rooms. Don't let those Masters or Servants find them," Wang Chong instructed.

"And what about His Highness?"

"Me? After assigning this mission to my Servants, I'm going to personally meet that True Ancestor Princess. Let's see who reaches their limit first, me or her." Wang Chong snorted, then strode towards the central courtyard.

……

Meanwhile, as night approached, Wang Chong's clone, under his control, led Jeanne d'Arc, Irisviel, and Artoria to the Holy Church at the appointed time. As for Maiya, they had already released her. Of course, they only released her after she signed a self-compulsory consent document.

"From then on, we became complete enemies with Miss Maiya," Artoria remarked with a sigh. Each serving their own master—there wasn't much to say about that; as the King of Knights, she had witnessed such scenes far too many times.

Irisviel was the most somber, partly because of her daughter Illya. It seemed that Illya was most likely trapped in the Hanging Gardens. Tonight, her main goal was not to eliminate any Other Servants or Masters, but to rescue her daughter Illya.

Secondly… there was the precognitive dream. Through the information she received in the dream, Irisviel knew clearly that tonight would be a crucial turning point, and if she failed to seize the opportunity and reverse the situation, the future would inevitably end in tragedy, just as in the dream. And Irisviel certainly didn't want that to happen; she wanted to stop that future. Otherwise, what would her current betrayal mean?

As for Jeanne d'Arc, she was quite confident, perhaps because she was naturally inclined to believe others. Therefore, when Tokiomi Tohsaka said that a powerful being would deal with the True Ancestor, Jeanne d'Arc immediately chose to believe him. Even better news was that she had just recently confirmed the arrival of that powerful being with Wang Chong.

That is why, as long as someone can defeat the True Ancestor, Jeanne d'Arc is very confident in leading everyone to victory over the enemy Servants, thanks to the bonus of her own class privileges.

As for Wang Chong's clone, it was observing the surroundings, hoping to encounter another True Ancestor Princess. At least from the main perspective, Arcueid did not appear to be attacking the Hanging Gardens.

Finally, when Wang Chong and Joan of Arc arrived at the Holy Church, Wang Chong suddenly stopped in his tracks because he noticed a striking blonde short-haired beauty waving at him.

"Hey~ you there, I forgot to ask your name. You're finally here." The person seemed very familiar with the place, waving and greeting him.

Clearly, the commotion attracted the attention of Joan of Arc and the others. Joan of Arc asked, "Lord Wang Chong? Who is that?"

"Her... she's the princess of the True Ancestor clan that I told you about before, the one we met on the way back. She's the powerful being that Tokiomi Tohsaka mentioned earlier, the one who's going to defeat that True Ancestor Master this time," Wang Chong said.

"Fortunately, after meeting Arcueid, I promptly told Jeanne and the other two that I happened to run into Arcueid on my way back. It was a good way of preparing them for what Arcueid might be. Although there's a half-hour difference in terms of time, it's easy to cover it up as long as we don't talk about anything related to time," Wang Chong thought to himself.

"Is she the powerful being who could defeat that Fallen Ancestor... another Ancestor?" Artoria couldn't help but scrutinize the other person, and for some reason, she felt a subtle attraction upon seeing her face. However, Artoria wasn't the only one with the same feeling; Arcueid opposite her felt the same way after noticing Artoria's gaze.

After all, this scene represents the moment when the heroines from two different timelines meet.

“It’s nice to meet you again, Your Highness,” Wang Chong said as he approached Arcueid.

“This is the second time we’ve met, and you’ve kept your promise to come. According to your human worldview, we can be considered friends. So you don’t need to call me that anymore. I have a name—Arquette Brunstadt. Just call me Arcueid.” Arcueid turned her gaze away from Artoria and looked at Wang Chong with a smile.

"The Eye of Depravity indicates that Arcueid's current favorability is 40."

At this moment, feeling that Arcueid's attitude was a bit too enthusiastic, Wang Chong didn't hesitate to open his Eye of Despair. He discovered that Arcueid's current favorability rating had exceeded 40 points, reaching the minimum requirement for a friendly attitude. In other words, Arcueid truly considered Wang Chong a friend.

"It's just fulfilling a promise, how did it raise my favorability so quickly?" Wang Chong thought to himself.

"Host, have you forgotten that you have a bunch of aura buffs and the Heroic Stance passive skill bonus? Just based on your face and your own temperament, it's easy for people to gain a high level of favorability," the system reminded you at this moment.

“No wonder,” Wang Chong muttered to himself, then introduced himself to Arcueid, “Wang Chong. Wang as in king, Chong as in charge.”

“Wang Chong… that’s easy to remember. I’ll just call him that from now on.” Elquite nodded, then stretched his arms and revealed a mysterious smile, half-covering his face with one hand, and said, “So, can we begin now? I can’t wait to drag that guy out.”

"Why does she sound so relaxed, as if she could easily take care of that True Ancestor?" Jeanne thought to herself after hearing Arcueid's words.

"Wait patiently a little longer, Arcueid. Our Master and Servants haven't all gathered yet. We can go up after everyone arrives." Wang Chong thought to himself that the other party was really in a hurry. He quickly made preparations at the Hanging Gardens while he continued to think of ways to stall Arcueid here with his clone.

"Do we have to wait... It's so slow... Just throw those latecomers in the trash heap, they're all useless anyway." Upon hearing this, Arcueid's previously cheerful face immediately fell, and one could even faintly sense the deeply hidden tyranny emanating from her, making Wang Chong marvel at how quickly Arcueid's expression changed.

"Hahahaha—you all always arrive so early."

When he heard the hearty laughter echoing from the sky, he knew without a doubt that some great emperor had arrived. Iskandar always came with his signature loud laugh and roar, then drove his oxcart over. To be honest, Wang Chong initially found it quite imposing and novel, but now he felt somewhat indifferent.

However, this didn't stop some people from having their eyes light up with excitement, finding it quite novel. Arcueid, completely disregarding the boundaries between men and women, directly grabbed Wang Chong's hand and pointed to the oxcart descending from the sky, asking, "Wang Chong, what's that?"

"That's a Noble Phantasm carried by one of the Masters' Servants—the Divine Wheel, pulled by two flying hoofed thunder bulls. It can fly, leaving a trail of sparks and lightning in its wake," Wang Chong explained.

"Oh! So that huge bull is called a Flying Hoof Thunder Bull. It looks delicious." Arcueid licked his lips and said.

"So, all that emotional turmoil is because of food?" Wang Chong couldn't help but think to himself.

Chapter 222 The Hanging Gardens Return

After Iskandar came down, Wang Chong and the others exchanged pleasantries with him. Iskandar naturally noticed Arcueid's unfamiliar face and was about to ask him something when he unexpectedly heard Arcueid speak first:

"Big guy, you have two cows, can I have one to eat?"

Iskandar was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, saying, "Hahaha, little girl, they are my companions for many years. I would never let anyone eat them."

"Huh? You treat food as companions? Your human thinking is really strange." Arcueid glanced at her curiously, but didn't say anything more.

However, Iskandar sensed something else in these words, and he asked curiously, "You humans? And this little girl, who are you...?"

"The Conqueror Queen, she's the powerful being Tokiomi Tohsaka mentioned before, the one capable of destroying that True Ancestor. She's also a True Ancestor, and a princess among them," Wang Chong introduced at the opportune moment.

"Eh!? A princess from the True Ancestors? Could it be the White Princess from the Thousand-Year City?" At this moment, Waver, who had heard the news, also popped out of the chariot and said in surprise.

"I never imagined that the legend was true. Ancient records mention that there was a princess in the True Ancestor clan known as the White Princess. However, the reason why that White Princess's name was so famous was not because of her so-called princess status, but because she had a fearsome reputation that could truly kill other True Ancestors of the same clan... She was regarded as the executioner prepared by the True Ancestors."

Weber recalled that he had been searching for information about the mystical aspects and had inadvertently come across materials about the True Ancestors, so he spoke.

“Hey… Has anyone ever told you that you talk too much?” At this moment, Arcueid’s face turned cold, and a faint monster aura began to emanate from her body. Her cat eyes narrowed as she stared at Waver, who had displeased her.

"Eek—! I...I'm sorry!!" Only then did Weber realize that he had said something he shouldn't have, especially in front of others. Faced with the other party's terrifying aura, he was immediately terrified.

At this moment, Iskandar shielded Waver behind him, but with a cheerful smile on his face, he laughed and said, "So, you can be considered the king of your tribe. I, Iskandar the Conqueror, am fortunate to meet you today. How about we become friends?"

Seeing Iskandar's sincere smile and attitude, Arcueid's imposing aura began to dissipate. He put his hands on his hips and laughed as well, "You big guy are quite interesting, and your words are even more interesting. But let's forget about being friends."

"Hmm? Why is that?" Iskandar asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Because I have friends now, and besides, you’re not good-looking, big guy,” Arcueid said, pointing at Wang Chong with a smile.

"Ah...hahahaha, then I am indeed inferior to Caster. Caster, you are truly blessed to be able to make friends with heroes so easily." When Iskandar heard Arcueid's words, he was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, looking at Wang Chong with great admiration.

As for the name Caster, although he already knew Wang Chong's true identity, Iskandar had gotten used to calling him Caster and the Ruined King over the years, so he simply decided not to change those two names.

"Iskandar is joking." Wang Chong didn't take Iskandar's words seriously. He knew that the emperor's other form was that of a handsome young man, which was a buff skill. If we're talking about being a fan of good looks, the former emperor was no less impressive.

“Alright, let’s go into the Church first. Business is important. Lancer and his Master have arrived.” Irisviel said, pointing to the approaching Diarmuid and Sora.

“Then let’s go to the Holy Church first. Arcueid, you…?” Wang Chong looked at Arcueid and asked.

“I’ll walk with you for a bit, but I don’t have time to listen to your debate. I’ll rush over as soon as it’s time. You guys do your thing, I’m in a hurry,” Arcueid said with a shrug.

The group then headed towards the Holy Church and soon saw Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kirei Kotomine, the master and apprentice, who were already waiting there, as well as Kariya Matou, who had arrived much earlier. Then they saw Diarmuid arrive with his current Master, Sora, and the seven Masters were gathered together once again.

At this moment, Tokiomi Tohsaka saw Arcueid who had come with Wang Chong. Tokiomi frowned at first, wondering why Wang Chong would bring a stranger with him. But as an old fox, he was still sensitive to information and was immediately shocked: "Could this be the Lady White Princess that the Mage's Association and the Holy Church have been talking about?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka knew that Wang Chong, like himself, was cunning and wouldn't casually bring in just anyone, giving others cause for gossip. Furthermore, Tokiomi felt a strange sense of unease upon first seeing Arcueid, a feeling deeply rooted in the human soul—a fear and repulsion towards the outsider. Therefore, Tokiomi quickly determined the identity of the person before him.

"This person's face looks somewhat unfamiliar. May I ask if you are Lady White Princess mentioned by the Holy Church?" Tokiomi Tohsaka immediately stepped forward, adopting a very respectful posture, and asked.

"So what if I am?" Arcueid glanced at the middle-aged man who had spoken to her, then quickly looked away, her interest waning. Although Arcueid hadn't spent much time in the world, she had seen plenty of magicians like Tokiomi Tohsaka. Not only were they boring and uninteresting, but they sometimes did things that disgusted her, so she never liked dealing with such people.

"This time we have encountered a formidable enemy, a True Ancestor of unknown origin. Furthermore, a great family that was on good terms with me—the Einzbern family—has also perished at the hands of this demon. That fellow's abilities are unpredictable, and we have no way to deal with him. Therefore, we can only hope that Lady Shirahime can rid us of this scourge."

Upon hearing this, Tokiomi Tohsaka was initially delighted and quickly replied, secretly pleased that he hadn't guessed wrong. However, he couldn't help but glance at Wang Chong, thinking to himself, "This man named Wang Chong, it's one thing that we can't find out his background, but how come he always gets all the good things first? Let's not even talk about the matter of Joan of Arc, the Arbiter; I've been searching for that White Princess all day, and it turns out you found her first and brought her here. It's really infuriating."

“Oh.” Arcueid simply responded without any emotional fluctuation, as if she were completely unmoved by Tokiomi Tohsaka’s words.

Seeing Arcueid's lukewarm attitude, Tokiomi Tohsaka was also somewhat at a loss, unable to figure out what the other party meant, and wanted to continue to persuade her. At this moment, Wang Chong interrupted, "Head of the Tohsaka family, Shirahime doesn't like to listen to all that nagging. Now that she's here, she'll naturally take action. Instead of saying these polite things, you should hurry up and get down to business. The alliance agreement and the self-enforcement certificate are already here; if there are no problems, sign them."

Seeing that Wang Chong had taken out the paper, Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't ask any more questions. He then took the covenant and read it carefully. It was indeed not mixed with too many personal agendas. It was mainly created so that they could fight against those alien Servants together tonight, to prevent each other from betraying each other or even abandoning each other in times of death, and to advance and retreat together.

However, the implication in the words made Tokiomi Tohsaka feel that the content was completely mocking what he had done the previous night. But Tokiomi Tohsaka was a man of great composure and didn't care about such things. Since he couldn't find anything wrong with it, he simply signed it. After all, there were some things he could control, so he just signed it openly and honestly.

“I’ve checked the contents, and there aren’t many problems. Let’s go into the Holy Church together and sign this contract under the supervision of the overseer. Then we can formulate a detailed plan to attack that city, shall we?” Tokiomi Tohsaka rolled up the scroll again and asked.

"it is good……"

"Wait, something's happened! Everyone, come closer to me! My lord is here!"

Just as Wang Chong agreed and was about to lead the group into the Holy Church, Joan of Arc's expression suddenly changed. Her full armor was revealed, and she raised the banner high. Holy light appeared once again, creating a 10-meter radius area that enveloped everyone.

Just then, the dark clouds in the sky quietly and quickly dissipated, and a huge fortress slowly appeared in everyone's sight from the clouds. That was the current base of the Otherworld Servants - the Hanging Gardens.

"A castle that flew in? How interesting! It would be wonderful if the Thousand-Year City were like this." Unlike the others' serious attitude, Arcueid was excited after seeing it.

Chapter 223 Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten so far?

When everyone saw the approaching aerial garden, they all showed solemn expressions, for they all knew that this meant the enemy was attacking again. And this time, the mysterious and unpredictable True Ancestor would strike once more.

The power that appeared silently nearby was truly impossible to guard against. If Jeanne hadn't used her class to sense the approaching aura of a large number of Servants and activated her Noble Phantasm immediately, they would probably have all been caught off guard and killed before the castle arrived.

And at that very moment, that extremely evil voice echoed from the sky:

"You ants, have you decided how you're going to die today? Or do you think you can keep surviving by hiding in your turtle shells?"

Just as Artoria was about to draw Excalibur, Wang Chong stopped her, shook his head, and said, "Someone will make a move, don't worry. Use your trump card on the castle's defenses."

"Wang Chong, is that guy who's talking the one I need to take care of?" At this moment, Arcueid, who was standing next to Wang Chong, revealed a strange smile, patted Wang Chong on the shoulder, and said.

"Hmm... are you confident you can handle this?" Wang Chong asked, feigning concern.

"Who knows? We'll only know when we meet." Arcueid looked up at the castle above, but a faint golden light began to shimmer in her red eyes. Wang Chong knew that Arcueid had begun to enter battle mode.

……

Above the clouds, the real Wang Chong had put on a mask and transformed back into Dio's appearance. He looked down at the people below, knowing that he would soon have to fight the True Ancestor Princess, and his body unconsciously became excited.

"Master." At that moment, Mordred appeared beside Wang Chong.

"Mordred, are all the personnel arranged?" Wang Chong asked.

“Everything is ready, and we can begin at any time. The trap transfer is also ready,” Mordred said.

“Alright, several Masters will be eliminated tonight. It’s time to speed things up for this Holy Grail War. You should go back and wait for orders.” After Wang Chong finished speaking, he jumped off the sky island. Mordred, seeing this, didn’t say anything and immediately turned around and walked back to her waiting place.

"This time, it's time to settle things completely with my father," Mordred thought to himself.

As Wang Chong rapidly descended, he fully activated his "Savior of Villains" aura, instantly unleashing an extremely malevolent aura around him. As for his clone, through prolonged multitasking, he was able to maintain his focus in battle while continuing to let the clone interact with those people.

Finally, Wang Chong floated above the Holy Church, his arrogant posture as if he were standing on a cross. This was probably enough to make the extremists of the Holy Church shout that he was a heretic demon and rush up at the risk of their lives to kill this damned alien who had defiled their sacred place.

After stretching his limbs, Wang Chong unleashed his full, menacing aura, instantly overwhelming everyone with its oppressive mental impact. However, each person's condition varied; the ordinary Masters were generally affected, their bodies instinctively trembling. As for the Heroic Spirits, it merely made their expressions more serious.

"Still the same old turtle shell. You don't really think this stupid thing can stop me. If you don't have any other skills, then let's settle the score from last night today," Wang Chong said with a cold snort.

"Hey!" Just then, Arcueid walked to the front of everyone, crossed his arms, and looked at Wang Chong, who was standing above the church in the form of Dio, with great interest.

"Heh, what a vicious and disgusting aura you have. Just how much human blood have you drunk so far?" Arcueid's golden light grew stronger as he asked.

"Do you even remember how many slices of bread you've eaten so far?" Wang Chong pointed to his mouth, looking completely unconcerned, as if human life were nothing more than a slice of bread for breakfast in his eyes.

However, it was precisely these remarks that provoked the anger of some Heroic Spirits, with Artoria shouting, "You! What do you think human lives are?!"

"Heh, are you angry? Pigs, cows, and sheep eat grass, humans eat pigs, cows, and sheep, and I consume humans. This is simply the survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle. What? Is it because you humans have occupied this world for too long that you really think you are the masters of this world?" Wang Chong sneered, vividly portraying a classic cannibalistic alien villain.

"Ding—Congratulations, host, your theory of cannibalism has aroused the anger of most people present and the panic of some. Your villainous image has taken deep root in everyone's heart. A total of 400 villain points have been awarded. Your current villain points are 9200." The system notification sounded at this moment.

“One piece.” But at that moment, Arcueid said calmly.

"Hmm?" Not only was Wang Chong somewhat surprised, but even the Servants and Masters beside him were a little confused by Arcueid's answer. Was it a question about the quantity of bread?

"I rarely venture out. But every time I do, before killing those fallen True Ancestors, I make sure to fully experience the interesting things about the human world. Food, entertainment, all sorts of novelties. As a result, I remember everything I've experienced related to the human world very clearly," Arcueid said calmly, one hand on his hip.

"The first time I ate bread, it was honestly quite unpalatable. It was dark and hard, so I never touched bread again after that. I got it from a sick old woman. That was all she had left, and all she wanted was to take her daughter to the city so she wouldn't freeze to death in the cold wave."

"I originally planned to take both of them to the city, but before I could do anything, the old woman died. Humans are such fragile creatures; a harsh environment alone is enough to easily take their lives."

"But these fragile creatures are now roaming all over the world, and every time they come out, they show me something new and different. Some are good, some are bad. But every time is different. Humans have been able to take over this world, probably because of their unique creativity. That's why they've been able to add interesting scenes to my monotonous and unchanging days of execution for so many years."

After speaking, Arcueid placed her left hand on her face, covering half of it so that no one could see her emotions. At the same time, golden light burst forth from her eyes, and a powerful magical aura and pressure rose around her.

"With a mind full of survival of the fittest, treating humans only as prey, this kind of thinking is no different from that of livestock. No wonder you can't remember the heinous acts you've committed, let alone discover the interesting things about humans. In the end, for both public and private reasons, you deserve to die."

After saying that, Arcueid strode up and headed in the direction of Wang Chong, preparing to leave the area of ​​the golden shield that Joan of Arc had deployed.
