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

"This..." The head of the Ryougi family frowned deeply. His little scheme had clearly been noticed by the other party, who seemed to be no pushover either. What frustrated the head of the Ryougi family was that what the other party said was true. Their Ryougi family was the one asking for help; they needed to complete this transaction more than the other party. As for forcibly taking the other party to extract secrets, that was even more impossible. Not only did they have to give face to a magician present, but this man before them was likely also a magician from the underworld, and they weren't sure they could subdue him. Therefore, the head of the Ryougi family would absolutely not undertake such a risky endeavor.

But it's impossible to give something away for nothing.

"Alright then, Head of the Liangyi Clan. Let's discuss the transaction itself first. If, hypothetically speaking, I could truly make your descendant an omniscient and omnipotent being, what kind of reward do you think you would offer in exchange? Or rather, has your Liangyi Clan decided what price you would have to pay?" Wang Chong crossed his arms, resting them on his chin, his eagle-like gaze scrutinizing the Head of the Liangyi Clan, exerting an invisible pressure on him.

"Hehe... If you can really make my descendant - my daughter - become omniscient and omnipotent. Then everything in the Liangyi family can be handed over to you. No matter people or things." After thinking for a long time, the head of the Liangyi family finally let out a breath and said.

“Alright, in that case, let’s compromise.” Wang Chong nodded in satisfaction and said.

"compromise?"

“Yes, a compromise. I will demonstrate to the head of the Liangyi family how to make your daughter omniscient and omnipotent. After you have seen it, I will take something from the Liangyi family. Whatever I choose, you cannot stop me. You cannot go back on your word. Are you willing?” Wang Chong said.

"This..." The head of the Liangyi family hesitated.

“Since the head of the Liangyi family is unwilling to accept this, then I’ll save myself the trouble. Consider it a meal at your home. I’m grateful for this meal. If I ever create an omniscient and omnipotent being in the future, I will definitely bring it over for everyone to see and feast their eyes on, to repay this kindness.” Wang Chong stood up abruptly, as if to leave.

"Holy crap! That's too cruel! You call this satisfying to the eye? You're clearly killing someone's spirit!" the Liangyi Clan Head thought to himself. Therefore, the Liangyi Clan Head dared not hesitate any longer. If the Liangyi Clan missed this opportunity and an outsider truly produced an omniscient and omnipotent being, then he, as the clan head, would likely have no face to meet his ancestors in the afterlife.

“Alright, I agree, Mr. Wang Chong… no, Your Excellency Wang Chong, as long as what you show me can indeed make my daughter omniscient and omnipotent, I will allow you to take some things from my Liangyi family. It doesn’t matter whether you are after the objects or the person,” said the head of the Liangyi family.

"Okay, in that case, I'll show off my skills. To be fair, Ms. Aozaki, how about you also come and witness the evaluation?" Wang Chong said, looking at Aozaki Orange who had been watching silently.

"Me?" Aozaki Touko frowned, but to be honest, she was also quite curious about the strength of the man in front of her.

"Yes, and the ability I'm about to demonstrate will happen to align with your area of ​​expertise. Then, Clan Head Liangyi, have everyone who is not involved leave. Even those guarding outside, keep them away. This has touched upon my secrets, and I don't want too many people to know," Wang Chong said slowly.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Selling the Daughter

As requested, the head of the Liangyi family left only himself, Wang Chong, Aozaki Touko, and two children who were looking forward to the next scene with curious eyes.

At this moment, Wang Chong unleashed his strongest power—the Power of Destruction. A massive black mist began to envelop the entire hall, within which the ghostly spirits roared and howled. The black mist also corrupted and degraded everything around it. Of course, Wang Chong controlled the power, preventing it from leaking out.

In an instant, all three people present were stunned by the scene. The head of the Ryougi family was almost overwhelmed by the sight. However, the head of the Ryougi family did not sense any superhuman or non-human aura. Although it looked terrifying, it was not some kind of evil or heretical power. Therefore, the head of the Ryougi family managed to suppress his emotions.

But Aozaki Touko, standing beside her, was different. She was an excellent magician, and her perception of the strength of this aura was much deeper than that of the head of the Yoji family. First of all, Aozaki Touko could guarantee one thing: the opponent's power was very strong, so strong that even if Aozaki Touko released her own seal, she might not be able to defeat the opponent. This was after the opponent had only revealed a little bit of power. Who knew how much power the opponent still had hidden.

Secondly, the opponent's power had absolutely nothing to do with magic or even sorcery. At least, it was a system that Aozaki Touko had never seen before. However, this ability to manipulate souls and possess this strange black mist that could assimilate matter completely piqued Aozaki Touko's interest.

Could the other party be a humanoid manifestation of a fantasy species that appeared out of nowhere? Aozaki Touko couldn't help but wonder. After all, such youth and such immense power made it hard for Aozaki Touko not to think in that direction. Aozaki Touko had always been filled with curiosity about powerful fantasy species, wanting to study their power and apply it to herself.

Aozaki Touko even detected a hint of divinity emanating from this man. Could it be that he might be a demigod remnant from the Age of Gods? The thought made Aozaki Touko even more excited. After all, he was a remnant of the Age of Gods! Forget his power, even a single hair from him would be a treasure!

Aozaki Touko's usually intellectual and aloof gaze suddenly ignited with passion. Indeed, Aozaki Touko was now lusting after Wang Chong's body.

Wang Chong couldn't help but shudder. He felt like he was being watched by something bad. Looking around, he saw the girl Ryougi Shiki with a slightly shocked expression. He was secretly alarmed: "Damn it! Could it be that I've already woken up the one inside? I have to finish this quickly."

Then Wang Chong spoke up: "Patriarch Liangyi, this is the proof I have shown. My power is not just about manipulating souls on the surface, but..."

Wang Chong waved his hand, and one of the ghosts descended. He continued to infuse it with black mist, and the ghost's body instantly solidified. Then, Wang Chong casually pulled out a small knife he had found from somewhere, tossed it to the Liangyi Patriarch, and said, "Come on, Liangyi Patriarch, give it a try."

The head of the Liangyi family took the knife and, without thinking, slashed at the ghost. A metallic clang rang out; the knife couldn't harm Wang Chong's ghost in the slightest.

No, that's not right. It should be said that, despite being a soul entity, it can actually make physical contact with a physical being. This characteristic is generally accepted in the magic world as the Third Method: Soul Materialization.

"No, this isn't the Third Law. There's no Law fluctuation here. Could this be the work of the Age of Gods? A miracle comparable to the Third Law." As a magus, and coming from the Aozaki family, which possessed the Fifth Law, Aozaki Touko possessed a keener understanding of Law than most. She knew the other party wasn't using any sorcery or magic; this was a power completely different from the magecraft world. The only explanations for this were the mystical Phantasmagoria and the methods of the Age of Gods.

Coupled with the hint of divine aura the other party had just revealed, Aozaki Touko was even more convinced that the other party was a living, walking demigod. If the lunatics at the Clock Tower found out, it would probably cause a major earthquake in the entire magic world.

"My power allows me to materialize the soul, making it immortal and imperishable by time. It's somewhat similar to what you in the magic world call the Third Law. It is precisely this power that gives me the ability to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Ryougi family," Wang Chong said slowly. "The Ryougi family believes that ordinary people, regardless of their circumstances, can only master one thing in their lifetime. That's why the Ryougi family attempted to create an omnipotent being by incorporating multiple personalities into the same body. Am I right?"

“That’s right…this is exactly the method that the Ryougi family has always inherited.” The head of the Ryougi family nodded and said.

"The reason why the Liangyi School believes that a person can only explore one thing in their lifetime is because everyone is bound by the constraints of life. Human lifespan is finite, and human time is also limited, so it is impossible to explore many things. But, if someone can break the constraints of life and lifespan, is not corrupted by time, and is immortal, do you think they can still only explore one thing?" Wang Chong said slowly.

"You mean..." The head of the Liangyi family suddenly lit up. Clearly, the head of the Liangyi family was a smart man, and he had already figured out the key point.

“That’s right, just as you thought, Head of the Liangyi Clan. Immortality is the true way to fulfill your Liangyi Clan’s long-cherished wish. It can not only provide you with the opportunity to create an omnipotent being, but also resolve the hidden dangers caused by your Liangyi Clan’s multiple personalities over the years, so that your descendants will no longer have to rely on this method of multiple personalities,” Wang Chong said slowly.

"Good...good...hahahaha." The head of the Liangyi family laughed heartily. Wang Chong had indeed proven that he was qualified to create the Liangyi family's omnipotent being, and the head of the Liangyi family also said without any politeness, "Good, let's not talk about taking a few things. From now on, the entire Liangyi family will serve you as our master and follow your lead."

Aozaki Touko was also somewhat surprised upon hearing this, not expecting the head of the Ryougi family to possess such boldness. However, it made sense; although the Ryougi family had withdrawn from the underworld, it didn't mean they had lost the insight that the underworld should possess. Clearly, the head of the Ryougi family not only valued the other party's ability to fulfill their family's long-cherished wish, but more importantly, they valued the other party's formidable strength, which could protect the Ryougi family's survival.

After all, although the Liangyi family withdrew from the inner world and actively integrated with secular civilization, this world still possesses power from the inner world. In the mortal realm, if the Liangyi family wants to remain standing, it is impossible for them to give up the power from the inner world. And Wang Chong's appearance is exactly what the Liangyi family wanted.

Thinking of this, Aozaki Touko couldn't help but look at the somewhat confused girl, Ryougi Shiki, thinking that there might be another reason, that is, the daughter of the Ryougi family head. It is likely that the Ryougi family head is already trying to use more thorough methods to win over or even bind Mr. Wang Chong.

After all, once the deed is done, they're already family. Why care about who serves as master? They might even produce more powerful offspring. I'm afraid the head of the Liangyi family would love for that to happen.

"What a cunning old fox," Aozaki Touko thought to herself. This was only because she knew the other party was powerful. If the other party knew that this person in front of her might be related to the Age of Gods that had been teleported, then the head of the Ryougi family would probably be cooking dinner tonight.

“There’s no need for that. What we agreed on is what we will be. I always value my promises. Once I truly create the Omnipotent One, I will naturally take everything.” Wang Chong withdrew all his power and said, “Then, Patriarch Liangyi, am I now qualified to make my choice?”

"Yes, of course... Lord Wang Chong, you have such strength and such character, I naturally trust you... However..." The Liangyi Clan Head paused, not continuing immediately.

"Could it be that the head of the Liangyi family wants to go back on his word?" Wang Chong asked, his eyes narrowed.

"Of course not... but I have a favor to ask, I wonder if Lord Wang Chong would accept it?" The head of the Liangyi family walked around behind Liangyi Shiki and pushed her out, saying, "I would like my daughter to follow you and learn from you, I wonder if you would be willing to accept it."

"Huh? Huh?"

"Huh?"

Two surprised and doubtful voices rang out.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Kidnapping Another Fujino

"Ding—System notification: You have successfully tricked the head of the Liangyi family and gotten something for nothing. You are rewarded with 500 villain points and 1 fragment of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception skill card (collect 3 fragments to synthesize a complete skill card)."

"Ding—System notification: You have successfully abducted the Chosen One, Ryougi Shiki, thus influencing her fate. Reward: 500 Villain Points and one random active skill card."

"Your current villain points are 2750. Please continue your efforts to increase your villain points."

After casually taking some seemingly acceptable items and some money from Ryougi's house, Wang Chong left. Poor Ryougi Shiki was thus packed up and taken away along with those belongings.

Even Wang Chong hadn't anticipated that the progress would be smoother than he'd imagined. Wang Chong's original plan was to use this compromise method to prevent the Yomiuri family from denying their claims, thereby defrauding Ryougi Shiki. After all, Wang Chong didn't care about anything else in the Yomiuri family; he only cared about Ryougi Shiki.

Is the Ryougi family's long-cherished wish really driving its members to such madness? Why doesn't Ryougi Shiki seem interested in this? Look at the little guy with his head drooping and a bit sulky; he seems quite unhappy about being sold.

"If you don't want to come along, why don't you go back first?" Wang Chong said, shaking his head as he looked at the sullen face.

It wasn't that Wang Chong wanted to let go of the duck he had already caught. Rather, he didn't want to force Ryougi Shiki to follow him. As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet, but... cough cough, anyway, Wang Chong's initial plan was to cultivate a good relationship with Ryougi Shiki. Even if he was the one who first suggested taking Ryougi Shiki away, he would find a way to make her willingly follow him.

“Go back? Why should I go back? That idiot father sold me out, what would I do back?” Ryougi Shiki said irritably.

“Oh...you didn’t seem happy to come with us?” Wang Chong said.

"I'm just angry that my father sold me, not that I'm angry about going with you. I'm quite interested in you. The black mist you created is very interesting," Ryougi Shiki said coolly.

"Is my black mist interesting?"

"interesting."

"Want to learn?"

"Yes! Are you willing to teach?"

"It can't be taught, it's innate."

"It's boring."

The dialogue is that simple, and it's clear that Ryougi Shiki has a strong personality and her own opinions. Her gloomy and taciturn nature is simply a reflection of her indifference to things she's not interested in.

Besides, was it Ryougi Shiki herself who was interested in his black mist... or was it [that person]? Wang Chong narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Ryougi Shiki, who had returned to her silent exterior, and didn't think about it any further. After all, he had already abducted Ryougi Shiki. As long as he cultivated their relationship, he wouldn't have to worry about any major accidents in this world.

"Well, Ms. Aozaki, didn't I tell you today would be very fruitful?" Wang Chong turned his gaze to Aozaki Touko, who was also silent. He didn't know what was wrong with Aozaki Touko; she had been quiet ever since he displayed his power. Logically speaking, displaying his power should have piqued her interest.

"Mr. Wang Chong's abilities have truly broadened my horizons. They are indeed more valuable than those magic materials." Aozaki Touko smiled faintly when Wang Chong asked her a question, and then asked, "Mr. Wang Chong, what is the second thing you mentioned?"

"The second thing... well, we've arrived." Wang Chong looked up at the name of the room—"Qian Shang."

……

"Ding—The host has bullied men and women, and forcibly abducted women in broad daylight. This is a heinous crime and fits the description of villainous behavior. You are rewarded with 50 villain points. Current points: 2800."

Soon, Princess Wang Chong came out carrying a sleeping purple-haired loli. Matou Sakura, who also had purple hair, couldn't help but raise her head and examine the other's face.

"What are you doing?" Aozaki Touko didn't go in, but it was obvious that she had just sensed Wang Chong using that power again, and then picked up this little girl.

Is this considered human trafficking?

"Don't be nervous. Although I gave her a little punishment, I'm not bloodthirsty," Wang Chong said, looking at the little girl in his arms. "With your eyesight, you can probably tell how bad this little girl's health is and what kind of treatment she's received. Of course, you can also tell what kind of talent she has."

"..." Aozaki Touko subconsciously wanted to take out the cigarette, but suddenly noticed that there were three children present. She put the cigarette back in annoyance, scratched her head, and said, "In other words, the second thing is that you want me to cure this little girl's illness and teach her to use the correct power, right?"

"Your Hall of Sangharama is quite busy sometimes, so you might need someone to help you out, right?"

"So you've found me a daughter? Why don't you take care of her yourself? You already have two kids, so having one more wouldn't hurt, would it?" Aozaki Touko said.

“It’s not suitable. I can’t teach her anything. Besides, as you said, I already have two children. I really don’t have the energy to teach a third one.” Wang Chong shrugged and said, “Accept her. She not only has the ability of the Demon Eye, but she is also the only bloodline of the Asakami family. She was adopted into the Asakami branch family with her mother.”

"Okay, it's easy to train him. Then what do you plan to trade?" Aozaki Touko said.

"Hmm? Didn't I give you a disciple for nothing?"

"You..." I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. Trying to get something for nothing. Although Aozaki Touko was very interested in Wang Chong and happy to befriend him, some of the things he said really made her lose her composure.

"Alright, don't be angry. Let's go back to your workshop first. The condition I offered in this matter is some very interesting information. However, it's not appropriate to discuss it here," Wang Chong said.

"Ding—You changed Asagami Fujino's fate, and are rewarded with 200 villain points. Your current villain points are 3000."

"Hmm, the points are much less than Sister Shi's. And one is a complete change, while the other is just an influence. Is this the difference between the heroine and the supporting actress?" Wang Chong couldn't help but think.

……

Back at the Garan Hall, Aozaki Touko first gave Asagami Fujino a simple bandage, then placed her in the bedroom to rest. Afterward, she came out of the bedroom and came to Wang Chong, asking curiously, "Tell me, what kind of information is it?"

"Xiaoying, Xiaoshi, you two go to the room first and keep an eye on that little sister to see when she wakes up." Wang Chong did not explain directly, but called Ryougi Shiki and Matou Sakura to stay in the bedroom first.

"Oh, okay. Ryougi-neechan, let's go in." Matou Sakura was very well-behaved and sensible. She knew that Wang Chong didn't want her and Ryougi Shiki to hear the conversation, so she took the initiative to pull Ryougi Shiki into the room and sensibly closed the door behind her.

"You're a good kid." Aozaki Touko said, glancing at her bedroom.

"Well then, let's get back to the main topic. Ms. Aozaki Touko, have you ever heard of... the name Araya Sōren?" Wang Chong rested his chin on his hands, looking at Aozaki Touko with great interest.

"Araya Sōren..." Upon hearing this name, Aozaki Tōko was somewhat surprised. Not only had she heard of him, but in fact, she was quite familiar with him. During their time studying runes at the Clock Tower and creating their own workshop, she had become acquainted with him and they had a certain friendship; in a sense, they were classmates.

However, Aozaki Touko knew his personality well. He was incredibly dull, practically a blockhead, and often wore a troubled expression. A few months ago, he had even visited her, asking her to design an apartment for creating a barrier, supposedly to realize his ideals and ambitions—something Aozaki Touko considered impossible. Of course, Aozaki Touko didn't bother commenting on others' actions. Later, Araya Souren became busy realizing his ideals and ambitions, and they lost contact for a while.

"From what you said, this information is related to him?" Aozaki Touko said slowly.

"Well, I heard that he once invited you, Ms. Aozaki, to design an apartment specifically for him, and then he devoted himself to his great cause of opening the root channel. It's just a pity that he failed." Wang Chong said with a smile.

Chapter 27 Princess Happy Knife

"So this is the information you wanted to give me? Since he came to me, I naturally know his fate." Aozaki Touko finally took out the cigarette she had been longing for, lit it, and even smoked it towards Wang Chong with a hint of emotion.

Of course, I didn't spit smoke at him.

"The failure of the apartment is just that—a failure—for him, not the end. He's already found a replacement. And that replacement, unfortunately, is right there in that room," Wang Chong said, pointing to the room.

"You mean... this kid Shiki? Come to think of it, you said from the very beginning that you could give the Yoji family an omniscient and omnipotent person. What you rely on is not just because of your unique ability, right?" Aozaki Touko narrowed her eyes, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and said.

"Yes, actually, that child is quite special. If the magic world were to find out about her special qualities, it would probably cause quite a stir. That's why Araya Sōren has her eye on her," Wang Chong said.

"Special? How special could it be?" Aozaki Touko couldn't see anything special about Ryougi Shiki for a moment, but after Wang Chong's words, she had a vague idea.

"It's normal that you can't see it. There are very few people who can discover the characteristics of this child. But in order not to cause too much trouble, allow me to be mysterious. Anyway, Araya Soren has made a lot of plans and designs to get her, and now... hehe, you know." Wang Chong smiled and said.

"Hmph, now that you've intercepted it, knowing that guy's personality, he'll probably come after you very soon. So... what value is this information to me? You don't actually want me to deal with Araya Sōren, do you?"

"Do I look like the kind of person who would try to get something for nothing?" Wang Chong said with a smile, opening his arms.

"That would be a lie," Aozaki Touko thought to herself, then looked Wang Chong straight in the eye and said, "So, what exactly do you want?"

“That’s true in terms of intelligence. However, I have another good show to show you can participate in.” Wang Chong stood up and said, “Later I will take Ryougi Shiki to walk around the area near Ogawa’s apartment, away from your workshop. You can secretly follow behind us, but remember not to expose yourself.”

"You plan to deal with Araya Sōren personally?" Aozaki Tōko raised an eyebrow and said.

"Yes, so is this invitation to the play worth the price?" Wang Chong asked with a smile.

"Deal." Aozaki Touko's primary interest right now was figuring out the man's background and characteristics. Seeing him fight would be ideal.

……
