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

Wang Chong's house

After returning home, Wang Chong carried Irisviel to her room. But after Wang Chong placed Irisviel on the bed, she clung to his neck and refused to let go.

"No...don't leave me alone again." At this moment, Irisviel was so weak that she was in a hazy state of semi-consciousness, and all her actions were in line with her deepest desires.

Ultimately, she was afraid—afraid of losing everything, afraid of being completely alone. Wang Chong comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Irisviel, we're home now. Get some rest. You'll still see me tomorrow, I promise you."

"No... I'll stay here with you... Waaah... Smack... Smack."

Irisviel shook her head, her instinctive fear preventing her from easily letting go because of Wang Chong's words. So Wang Chong took a more proactive approach, kissing Irisviel. Feeling this intimacy, Irisviel reacted like a drowning person grasping at a straw, desperately responding to him, their tongues entwining in a passionate kiss, seemingly releasing her fear, and perhaps also releasing a long-suppressed desire.

In short, the two kissed for a long time before reluctantly parting. Wang Chong rested his forehead on Irisviel's head, cupped her cheeks in his hands, and said, "Get a good night's sleep, Irisviel. Trust me, everything will be alright tomorrow. I promise you, I will give you everything you want."

"Hmm..." Exhausted, Irisviel calmed down after venting her inner unease and desires. She nodded and closed her beautiful eyes.

"Sweet dreams, Irisviel." Wang Chong rose, raising his hand, black mist swirling around Irisviel's body. He knew very well that after tonight, Irisviel would be completely reborn.

Once Irisviel was fully immersed in the dream and could not be easily awakened, Wang Chong picked her up again and said, "System, let Irisviel and me enter the Dimensional House."

"Received~ Entering the Dimensional House."

As the system's voice faded, Wang Chong felt his surroundings begin to distort. When the space returned to normal, he realized he had arrived in a beautiful new world.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast grassland, dotted with lush forests and countless blooming gardens. Although it doesn't have a sea of ​​flowers like Avalon, the overall environment gives people a very comfortable and beautiful feeling.

If it were daytime, the scenery here would probably be even more beautiful, but the surrounding environment isn't dark at all. Not only are there countless stars in the sky and a bright full moon illuminating the scene, but even the ground is bathed in faint light, preventing the surroundings from appearing gloomy or frightening.

"It is currently nighttime in the Dimensional House environment. The sky will be a one-to-one replica of the starry sky outside. At the same time, to prevent the ground from being too dark, there are a large number of light element spirits in the air, illuminating the main paths one by one, creating an effect similar to streetlights." At this moment, the system's voice also reminded us.

"In addition, the Dimensional House is not just this one scenic spot; it also comes with various other scenic areas to choose from. Such as lakesides, deep forests, towering mountains, boundless deserts and oases, and even ocean and underwater world scenery can all be presented." The system then displayed an interface for Wang Chong to view, which showed various unlocked scenic styles that could be switched at any time.

"Not only does the Dimensional House feature a day-night cycle, but it also experiences the changing seasons. Of course, some special areas will have corresponding geographical, climatic, and scenic changes, perfectly replicating real-world landscapes. In short, the choice of location will guarantee the host's satisfaction!"

"Currently, the entire Dimensional House covers an area of ​​100 square kilometers and has a height of 2 kilometers. It can accommodate a considerable amount of space. If the host finds the space too small in the future, the space can be upgraded. Of course, this will also cost points. However, for now, the host should spend the points wisely and focus on improving their strength. When the host no longer needs to worry about strength, the host can use the points to enjoy life in these places and improve their quality of life."

The system's explanation was quite convincing, giving Wang Chong a much better understanding of the entire Dimensional House. It has to be said, buying a Dimensional House with a living space and various dimensions totaling 200 cubic kilometers in size for 1 points is incredibly tempting. Not to mention, Wang Chong happened to catch a discount when he bought it, bringing the Dimensional House home for only 9000 points – making it even more desirable.

"A size of 200 cubic kilometers should keep me occupied for quite a while. And the altitude is 2 kilometers, no wonder the Hanging Gardens in the sky looked so high. Let's go, it's time to go up and find my Servants."

After saying that, Wang Chong leaped into the air, riding the mist and flying directly towards the floating sky garden.

……

"Holy crap, where did Wang Chong bring me? Is this still in China? No, is this still Earth?" Aozaki Touko was so disturbed by the commotion outside, and since the magic lock on her door that was used to hide and prevent entry had disappeared, she simply walked out.

As a result, when she arrived at the edge of the area and saw the unfamiliar jungle below and the strange atmospheric environment around her, Aozaki Touko couldn't hold back any longer.

Under her perception, the surrounding air not only possessed an outrageously high purity of magic, but she also sensed numerous elements reminiscent of the ancient times, such as the aura of the Age of Gods and ether. In short, if you told Aozaki Touko that she had traveled back to the Age of Gods, she would believe you.

"No... what on earth is going on? That guy Wang Chong made such a commotion, did he move the entire castle into the Star Inner Sea? How the hell am I supposed to get back?!" Aozaki Touko couldn't help but swear.

It wasn't that Aozaki Touko was resistant. On the contrary, she was incredibly excited. To be honest, the surrounding environment made her feel like she was dreaming, and she was terrified that if she accidentally woke up, she would find that it was all just her own delusion and illusion.

This is a magical environment that only existed in the Age of Gods! Which magician wouldn't be excited and able to control themselves?

"Ahem, Miss Aozaki Touko, Moshi Moshi?" At this moment, a voice that gave Aozaki Touko a terrible headache rang out from behind her. Aozaki Touko sighed, suppressed her excitement, turned around, and looked at the "culprit" who caused all of this—Wang Chong.

"Tell me, where did you move to? Weren't you just fighting the Holy Grail War? How come you've changed your environment so quickly?" Aozaki Touko raised her hands in a gesture of surrender and said, "Of course, if I accidentally stumbled upon your secret, can you give me a chance? Even if you lock me up here for life and make me work for you for the rest of my life, I'll do it all, as long as you don't kill me to cover it up."

Chapter 288 Aozaki Touko's Thoughts

Listening to Aozaki Touko's words, Wang Chong also felt a little strange. Could it be that the transfer to this new area had frightened Aozaki Touko? But that shouldn't be the case. Small worlds and barriers like this are very rare, but they shouldn't be completely unheard of.

"Host, I forgot to mention, the world bound to the Dimensional House will directly acquire the environmental characteristics of that world, including the special rules, energy, or special substances that world possesses, to supply all living beings entering the Dimensional House with the ability to survive, cultivate, and become stronger." At this moment, the system's voice also appropriately reminded them.

"You mean... my dimensional home is like the Type-Moon world, possessing the ley line energy or magic that magicians can absorb?" Wang Chong asked.

"It's not that simple. To create the most suitable environment, the concentration of magic in the air is extremely high, far beyond what the modern world can match. Even some mystical substances that don't exist in the modern world and have entered the Star Sea, as well as ether and substances tainted with the aura of the Root, will fill this small world," the system said.

"So... you mean that the environment of my current world is equivalent to the environment of the Age of Gods in the Type-Moon world??" Wang Chong immediately understood what the system meant and finally understood why Aozaki Touko had acted this way.

"Um... Mr. Wang Chong? Lord Wang Chong?" Seeing that Wang Chong was deep in thought and did not respond, Aozaki Touko thought that Wang Chong was considering whether to kill her or spare her, so her tone became more and more respectful.

"Hmm? Oh, Aozaki Touko, this is actually a small world of my own. You should know that it's quite normal for someone like me to have a small world, right?" After hearing Aozaki Touko's call, Wang Chong finally brought his consciousness back to reality. After thinking for a while, he decided to make use of this world to see if he could recruit Aozaki Touko, this useful magician, to his side.

"What kind of small world is like this... I seriously suspect I've wandered into the Inner Sea of ​​Stars." Aozaki Touko couldn't help but complain to herself. Then she saw that Wang Chong seemed to be used to it. Could this really be his territory?

“As for the secret, it is indeed a very precious secret of mine. However, Miss Aozaki and I have known each other for so long, we are already close friends, so I don’t mind sharing such a secret. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought Miss Aozaki in. Besides, I know that Miss Aozaki is a person who can keep secrets, doesn’t she?” Wang Chong said with a smile.

"So there's no need to be so reserved or afraid, although your suggestion is indeed very tempting. But we're friends, and I'm happy to share with friends. Besides, judging from Aozaki's expression, you seem quite satisfied with the environment of my little world. After all, I know that the magic and other substances in this space are very tempting for magicians like you."

"So... do you mean I can stay here?" Aozaki Touko understood Wang Chong's implication and asked curiously.

“Of course, you can even consider this place your second home without any problem,” Wang Chong said with a smile.

"..." Upon hearing this, Aozaki Touko wasn't particularly delighted; instead, her mind started to wander. Indeed, Aozaki Touko really liked the environment here, and there was no doubt that staying here would greatly benefit her magical advancement.

But the other party doesn't want me to pay any price, letting me stay here whenever I want. It's important to understand that free things are often the most expensive, and favors are often the hardest to repay. I've taken advantage of them for free, incurring such a huge favor—how can I possibly repay it?

As if sensing Aozaki Touko's troubles, Wang Chong's expression hardened, and he said, "Don't think about those unnecessary things, Aozaki Touko. Although we do have business dealings, and I value your unique magic, I also genuinely consider you a friend."

"Ha... Fine, fine, I give up. You clearly have such strength and such good resources. I really don't know what you see in me. A friend, perhaps..." Aozaki Touko said, rubbing her head with one hand in frustration.

"Hmm, it's probably your indomitable spirit, Miss Aozaki, that attracted me... Although you seem dejected on the surface, I know very well that you've been preparing to break the seal and pursue your own path of demonic cultivation. I really admire that hidden pride deep within you," Wang Chong said with a smile.

"..." Aozaki Touko pushed up her glasses, glanced at Wang Chong, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, pointed to the spot in Wang Chong's arms, and couldn't help but say, "You, you didn't use sweet words like this to trick someone into marrying you, did you?"

"Uh..." Wang Chong was momentarily speechless. Indeed, Irisviel, who was sleeping peacefully, was still in his arms. Holding one woman while flirting with another—the scene was rather comical.

"Hehe, host, I suggest you use the Eye of Oblivion to check Miss Aozaki Touko's favorability. Maybe there will be a surprise." Suddenly, the system's notification sounded.

Wang Chong was taken aback and quickly used his Eye of Depravity to examine the situation.

[Eye of Depravity: Aozaki Touko's current Depravity Value: 0%; Aozaki Touko's current Affection Level: 60 points.]

"Although you say that, you actually really like that kind of talk. Sure enough, women like to hear nice things." Wang Chong smiled knowingly, not pointing it out. At least for now, Aozaki Touko's favorability had successfully moved from friendliness to trust, which meant that Aozaki Touko had accepted him to some extent.

"Alright, my charming Mr. Wang Chong, did you bring this woman from the Einzbern family here to ask me about the progress? If it's about her body, give me another hour or two and I can finish making it completely."

Seeing Wang Chong just grinning foolishly, Aozaki Touko was also somewhat amazed. She never thought that one day she would attract the attention of such a powerful person because of her own charm. To be honest, this feeling was really quite strange.

However, she was also well aware of another matter Wang Chong had just mentioned: besides her charm, the other party was primarily interested in her puppet magic. Moreover, the other party had even brought the future owner of the body he had commissioned her to create to her, so he must have been asking about her progress.

"So fast? Wasn't it supposed to take at least a whole night?" Wang Chong said, somewhat surprised.

"That's because you've been making a ruckus here ever since night fell tonight. The magical energy fluctuations in the air are constantly changing, and it's very taxing to control," Aozaki Touko said irritably.

"Now it's not only quiet, but the surrounding magic concentration is so high that it's like a fish in water. I think it won't be long before it's completely finished. It's perfect that you brought the people over; I can start the transfer soon."

“No rush. I brought her in mainly because it might not be safe to leave her outside, and also to fulfill Ilya’s wish to see her mother,” Wang Chong said.

"Okay... Oh right, how was the Holy Grail War tonight? I see the surrounding area is completely destroyed. You're not going to tell me you lost and slunk away, are you?" Aozaki Touko asked.

"On the contrary, victory is not far away. This Holy Grail War should probably end tomorrow," Wang Chong said with a smile.

"In that case, congratulations to Mr. Wang Chong on his victory and winning the Holy Grail. Hmm... the omnipotent wish-granting machine. Is that thing really as miraculous as they say?" Aozaki Touko muttered to herself.

"Do you think the sun will actually go out if I wish for the Holy Grail to extinguish it?" Wang Chong asked.

"Uh……"

"Or I could wish for the universe to expand at a slower rate. Do you think it could do that?"

"..."

"If all else fails, I'll make a wish to the Holy Grail to create a singularity and a Big Bang. That should be able to happen, right?"

"...Can't you make some wishes that normal people would make?" Aozaki Touko couldn't help but complain.

"See? Do you still think the Holy Grail is an all-powerful wish-granting machine? Just think about it logically and you'll see the answer." Wang Chong shrugged and said, "No way, no way, no way, does anyone really believe there's an all-powerful wish-granting machine in this world?"

For some reason, Aozaki Touko felt her fists harden, but unfortunately she couldn't beat her opponent, so she had to give up.

Chapter 289 Artoria's (Alter's) Outrageous Remarks

"...Whatever makes you happy. Since there's nothing for me to do, I'll go back and finish making this lady's new body as soon as possible." Seeing that the conversation had died down, Aozaki Touko lost interest in continuing and turned to walk towards her workshop.

"Remember to let me know when you're done. I might not be asleep by then," Wang Chong instructed.

"Okay." Aozaki Touko replied and walked directly into the workshop. Seeing Aozaki Touko leave, Wang Chong also immediately went to the residential area of ​​the Hanging Gardens, intending to settle Irisviel in before going to the center to arrange tomorrow's plans with his Servants.

……

“…Sigh.” Semiramis looked around and couldn’t help but sigh. Although the main body of her Hanging Gardens Noble Phantasm had been preserved, after tonight’s battle, her aerial fortress would probably only be a decorative piece from now on.

Seeing the ruins and broken walls was quite unsightly. Although she had cleared away all the rubble, the empty surroundings still pained Semiramis.

"Why are you sighing? Didn't your Master promise you that you'd be able to build an even better one in the future? And look at the magical environment around us, it's practically no different from where we used to live, maybe even better. This shows how wealthy our Master is. Are you still worried about not being able to build a magnificent castle?"

At this moment, Mordred, having changed into casual clothes, came to Semiramis's side and said...

“I understand the principle that out with the old, in with the new. But there’s still a sense of regret and pity,” Semiramis sighed.

"Your fortress's sacrifices have been worthwhile, and you should all be aware of the matter of destiny. As for that guy, Kiritsugu Emiya, the more forcefully he uses Gilgamesh's power, the more his destiny declines." At this moment, Artoria [Alter] also arrived and said.

"Why are there so few people? Where did the three sisters go?" Jeanne Alter looked around and asked.

“I think I saw the three of them go somewhere to ambush the Master. Euryale just saw the Master bring that Saber's Master in from the high platform, and judged that the Master went to settle the room, so…” Atalanta said.

"So those three sisters who were cheating on their master went off to cheat again, huh! I can't stand it! I'm going to catch them! If they keep entangled with the Master, who knows how long we'll have to wait." Jeanne Alter's anger flared up instantly, and she ran straight towards the residential area.

Seeing this, Atalanta muttered under her breath, "I should have sneaked off too... Never mind, rather than having four people and everyone going hungry, it's better not to eat at all now."

"..." Semiramis and Mordred, upon hearing Atalanta's words, couldn't help but recall their previous trip together and were momentarily at a loss for words.

However, Artoria (Alter) calmly waited for Wang Chong's arrival.

Not long after, a noisy commotion could be heard: "Jeanne d'Arc Alter, you're meddling too much! This goddess has already swallowed her pride and shared with you, and you still refuse! If you don't want to eat, don't make everyone else go hungry!"

"Exactly, exactly. Opportunities are for those who are prepared. Who can you blame if you didn't see it? Besides, how can you say we were cheating? How can you call it cheating when it comes to the goddess? We were just openly and honestly bestowing blessings upon our Master. Silly sister, you should say something too."

"Uh...sigh, that's not right..."

"If you, my stupid little sister, dare to apologize for us, be careful next time you won't be able to get out of bed."

"Alas!!"

"What do you mean I don't want to eat?! Is this the time to do this kind of thing? And you even offer blessings... If you really succeed in your affair, are you going to make a bunch of us wait for you for ages? And could you please learn from your sister in some ways?" Jeanne Alter's angry voice followed.

"Looks like they're back... They're so noisy. Master must be having a really tough time," Mordred remarked.

"Wasn't it our philandering Master who found him? Just ask anyone here, who hasn't been favored by the Master yet?" Semiramis shrugged and said.

"As far as this body is concerned, I don't have it," Artoria (Alter) suddenly said seriously.

“Uh…” The three women couldn’t help but look at Artoria (Alter), unsure of what to say.

"Father, you were clearly not long ago... by the Master..." Mordred said softly.

“That was me in the past. What does that have to do with the me who has been summoned again? Besides, I’m in reverse form.” Artoria [Alter] said with a somewhat mocking smile.

Mordred was speechless for a moment. Her brain, which had not received nine years of compulsory education, obviously could not understand the sophistry of the philosophical question that "yesterday's me is not today's me." She was completely dumbfounded by Altria's words.

"In the end, it all comes down to the Master not trying hard enough. If he had fed everyone properly, even to the point of making them sick, do you think they would still be arguing? To put it bluntly, they still have the energy to argue, they just haven't been properly trained enough," Artoria [Alter] said, making a startling statement.

"I..." Semiramis almost facepalmed. Was this still the same Knight King who valued honor and chivalry? Could a reversal really change a person's personality so drastically? This was terrifying.

Atalanta, who had been listening silently, began to blush, but more than that, she licked her lips and her eyes were filled with bestial desire. To eat one's fill all at once? That would be so amazing… cough cough, too unimaginable. If she wanted to eat until she vomited… well, seven days and seven nights in a row would probably be about right.

As for Mordred, her brain has already been fried by her father's new outrageous remarks.

Fortunately, when Wang Chong arrived with his four followers, they had stopped bickering. Bickering was just a way to vent emotions, and besides, Wang Chong and the always sensible Medusa were pulling them apart, so the three women didn't have any major conflicts.

"Alright, it seems everyone's here. Let's talk about today's gains. Two Masters of the Holy Grail War are dead, and two Servants related to the Holy Grail War are dead. Jeanne d'Arc and Saber Artoria are now in our hands, and Irisviel will soon be fully integrated into our family. It can be said that now the only open rivals are Kiritsugu Emiya and Gilgamesh." Wang Chong crossed his arms and spoke directly.

"Master, what is the current state of Kiritsugu Emiya's luck? Has your plan to weaken his luck been effective?" Semiramis was the first to ask.

"The plan was quite successful. Emiya Kiritsugu's luck has weakened compared to mine, and I now have the qualifications to completely kill him." Wang Chong not only received a notification from the system, but he also took a look himself using the Qi Observation Technique. It has to be said that ever since Emiya Kiritsugu took Gilgamesh under his command, the clash of their luck has been quite spectacular, and it is visibly clear that Emiya Kiritsugu's luck is plummeting.

Adding to this the Rhine Gold he secretly slipped into Kiritsugu Emiya, the ongoing curse and bad luck are constantly damaging Kiritsugu's luck. He believes that once tomorrow arrives, Kiritsugu's luck will have declined to the point of no return.

Chapter 290 Mordred: Am I the only normal Servant?

“Irisviel is now in our hands, but Kiritsugu Emiya will likely mistakenly believe that Irisviel is in the hands of the Rider Group. Since Irisviel’s current body is the vessel for the Lesser Grail, they will most likely target the Rider Group first,” Wang Chong said.

"So, they won't suspect us until they take out the Rider group, right?" Semiramis asked.

"At least that's how it seems for now. Rather than taking action against those of us whose whereabouts are unknown, Kiritsugu Emiya will choose to eliminate the remaining people on the field first," Wang Chong said slowly.

“Right now, we don’t need to worry about Kiritsugu Emiya. The longer time goes by, the more advantageous it will be for us. In terms of strength, Kiritsugu Emiya is no longer a threat. If it weren’t for the fear that the ethereal Fate and the Counter Force might have some new tricks up their sleeves, we could have taken care of him the night before last.”

“You should also stay in this small world for now. This world is isolated from the outside world. Only we can observe the outside world, and the outside world has no way of observing this world. Therefore, even if the other side becomes suspicious or uses any investigative methods, they will definitely not be able to find us. They will completely believe that we are already dead,” Wang Chong explained.
