"What a wonderful power... But what is the price I have to pay? If it infects the soul, is it my soul that I have to pay? But I don't feel that my soul is too bound... Forget it, now that I have made the choice, let me take a good look at what happens next. Will it be as the other party said, that I will not regret it?" Semiramis felt the transformation of herself by this power. After her thoughts drifted for a while, she immersed herself in this power.

Wang Chong, naturally, also used the power of destruction to subtly lock Semiramis's trust and loyalty to him.

"Ding - you have conquered the Assyrian Queen Semiramis and successfully captured her beauty. You are rewarded with 300 villain points. Your current villain points are 6000." The system prompts.

"Hmm? System, why does Empress Semiramis also get 300 points for conquering a heroic spirit? Logically, shouldn't it be the same as the three goddesses, with 100 points each?" Wang Chong felt a little strange and asked.

"This is because the host used a different method to subdue them. Previously, the host subdued the three Gorgon sisters purely by force using the domineering power of Ruin. Furthermore, the power that created the three sisters was originally the power of Ruin, so they naturally have a favorable impression of you. The method is too simple, and the difficulty is also relatively low, so naturally the points are not high."

"On the contrary, the Assyrian Queen and you were not compatible at first. The host first demonstrated his powerful strength to gain her recognition, and then struck while the iron was hot, using words to arouse her interest in you. She took the initiative to let go of her body and mind and let the host conquer her with the power of destruction. It is more difficult in terms of difficulty, and more skillful in terms of method, so naturally the villain points are higher." said the system.

"I understand. In other words, any villain's behavior actually has certain evaluation criteria behind it. The more brainless and less interesting the villain's behavior is, the fewer points it will naturally receive. Conversely, the higher the evaluation will be, right?" Wang Chong asked.

"That's it~"

"I didn't expect that because of my caution, I didn't adopt the previous method of forced control, but instead I learned how to increase the villain's points. System, you are a bit unkind. You should have told me about this earlier." Wang Chong said.

Chapter 36 Competition among Women

Wang Chong chose not to directly use the Power of Ruin to forcibly dominate the opponent because he was no longer the Ruined King with his former peak strength and endless supply of Power of Ruin. He couldn't guarantee how much Power of Ruin would be consumed by forcibly dominating a Heroic Spirit or a living being, and whether it would disrupt his plans.

Therefore, whether it was Kotomine Kirei, Matou Kariya, or the current Empress of Assyria, he was cautious and would not use the method of consuming the power of destruction to forcibly control them. Instead, he would let the other party willingly accept his power and minimize the loss of the power of destruction as much as possible.

"Host, I didn't explain this for your own consideration," the system said. "I hope you can carry out any villainous actions in your own way. If you want to be overbearing, do so. If you want to guide others step by step, do so slowly. In short, everything should be done in accordance with your true intentions. Live happily and carefree."

"On the contrary, I don't want the host to rack his brains to raise the score as high as possible just for the sake of pursuing villain points. Just like what the host said to Kotomine Kirei before, don't become a slave to villain points in pursuit of villain points. Besides, even if I have to be a slave, it has to be me. I am your lovely little slave system~" the system said with a smile.

"Haha, I almost got carried away. You're right, Tongbao, I'll just do what I like." Wang Chong nodded. He had to admit that his system was really good. He also felt that he had made the right choice to bind his system.

"Assyrian Queen, how are you feeling?" Wang Chong turned his attention to Semiramis. Semiramis, unable to open her eyes, held up her black skirt with both hands and leaned slightly forward towards Wang Chong. "As Master said before, it's better than ever. Also, Master, please call me by my name."

At this point, Semiramis understood the price she had paid. Although her soul wasn't completely bound, her mind was still affected by that power. Under this influence, Semiramis's heart continued to grow in respect and trust for Wang Chong.

However, Semiramis did not intend to resist. Even though she knew she had no way to deal with this influence, she still chose to accept it. She thought it was a very reasonable deal. Both parties got what they wanted. She gained the power she wanted, and the other party gained her loyalty.

Semiramis knew that if the other party was willing, she could be molded into anything she wanted. For example, transforming a historically renowned and beautiful empress into a humble slave, becoming the other party's exclusive possession, sounded very attractive.

However, this man hadn't crossed the line. He didn't need her body, only her loyalty and trust. This actually made Semiramis's impression of her Master even more positive. Although the ever-growing emotions in her heart had already raised her opinion of him.

If expressed in terms of favorability, the Empress's favorability was locked at the passing line of 60 due to the Power of Ruin, and now it has undoubtedly been raised by 10 points on this basis.

"Trust and loyalty? Haha, I've been surrounded by suspicion and doubt all my life, but I actually have such feelings. It's really strange and novel..." Accepting the throbbing in her heart calmly, Semiramis stood at attention, waiting for the master's instructions.

"Well, I'll call you that when we're alone. Semiramis, your current task is to set up the position here. As for your Noble Phantasm, the Hanging Gardens of Vanity... I'll go help you find a way to collect the materials first, so there's no rush for that." Wang Chong said.

"Yes. But even when setting up a magic formation, I remind the host that the more expensive the materials given to me, the better the final effect will naturally be." Semiramis said.

Without hesitation, Wang Chong immediately took out all the property he had obtained from Araya Zonglian from his space and said, "That's all for now. I'll fill in any gaps if you need anything later."

"It seems I have to do some ordinary-level lotteries. Although ordinary lotteries won't give me things that can immediately improve my strength, I can get a lot of precious magic materials. It's just right that I can give them to Semiramis. After all, the EX-level position construction is here, and I have to make full use of its strengths." Wang Chong said to himself.

……

After making arrangements with Semiramis, Wang Chong could finally have a good rest.

"Master, you won't just get away with what happened today, right?"

"Haha, Master, you were staring at that new guy for a long time just now. Do you like women with big butts and big breasts so much?"

Seeing his little brother being trampled hard by the two goddesses with their pink lotus-root bare feet, who were already wearing kind smiles, Wang Chong knew that if he wanted to rest, he would probably have to lean back further.

"Hmm? I originally thought that my master was a pretty serious guy... Humph, it turns out that all men are the same." The Assyrian queen who was setting up a magic circle naturally noticed what was happening in Wang Chong's room. She snorted coldly and glanced at the two lumps of "fat" on her chest.

"I never thought that the Master's hobby is so unique that he actually likes flat things. Haha, this is the first time that I have been outdone in beauty in the eyes of others." Unconsciously, an emotion called jealousy arose in Semiramis' heart.

"But... the Master is quite manly. Humph, just let me enjoy this good show. Just consider it as a little fun delicacy while I'm busy." Although she was clearly peeping, Semiramis was appreciating it all with a completely open and honest attitude.

"Stheno (me), that new guy is spying on us, why don't you cover it up?" However, Semiramis's magical peeping behavior could not be hidden from the goddess who lived in the Age of Gods. While Euryale spoke to Stheno in secret language, she did not slack off at all.

"Hehe, lovely Euryale (me), isn't this just right? If she wants to see, let her see enough. Let her completely understand the gap between herself and us, and know her own position. She only has some blood of God, how can she compare with a real goddess?" Stheno raised the corner of his mouth, and watched all this with amusement on his toes.

"Come to think of it, how long will that stupid little sister remain reserved? Does she have to wait for the two of us to order her to do something?" Yurielle frowned slightly and said as she looked at the little Medusa who had been guarding the door obediently beside her.

"Humph, my foolish sister is always like this. She always regrets it only when it's too late. Don't worry, once she sees the host having affairs with more women, she will naturally realize how foolish her reserve was. Then, we will laugh at her."

"Wait? This guy still dares to steal food?"

"Eurielle (me), my naive Eurielle (me), men are such insatiable creatures, and the desires in their hearts are like Sisyphus's rolling stone. Once the stone falls, it is completely out of control. If you want to blame someone, blame us for not being able to squeeze out all of his desires. But we must completely seize the dominant position and cannot let those other women who come later ride on our heads." A hint of charm flashed in Stheno's eyes, and he had already made up his mind.

A war without gunpowder was quietly launched.

……

As darkness fell over Japan, the sun shone brightly over France. Inside a church, a young blond woman offered her daily prayers. She was a devout believer, and though her life was somewhat uncertain, her unwavering faith kept her going.

But today, when the girl was praying as usual, a white light, for some reason, shone directly on the girl through the glass window of the church. A burning pain suddenly came from her back, and in an instant, the girl fainted. Only when her consciousness fell into darkness, she vaguely heard some voices from "God".

[Correct this world, and judge...]

"Letitia!... Letitia, what happened to you?" The godmother who had watched the child grow up was frightened by the girl's fainting. She quickly helped her sit on a chair in the church and made a phone call to the hospital.

Chapter 37 Leticia

In the blink of an eye, another week had passed, and the Holy Grail War was only seven or eight days away. Fuyuki City remained peaceful. The only thing that bothered Wang Chong was that exiting the Matou residence through the main gate had become much more difficult.

As for the reason, ever since Caster summoned him, there had been a surge of familiars watching over his home. It wasn't that his Master had been discovered, but rather that as time went on, those keeping an eye on the Holy Grail War, especially those Masters participating in it, had begun making arrangements. As one of the Three Holy Grail Houses, and a local power, the Matou and Tōsaka families had borne the brunt of the surveillance.

Because of this, Wang Chong had to resort to trickery to enter and exit the Matou household, in order to avoid exposing himself. He even recently told Ryougi Shiki not to practice assassination techniques outdoors, lest the familiars notice anything was amiss. This left the little girl sulking for a while, but after Semiramis transformed the basement into a suitable training ground for assassination techniques, Ryougi Shiki finally felt happier.

Meanwhile, Wang Chong was in his study, reviewing the intelligence Kotomine Kirei had secretly passed him, examining the current situation. As of now, the Einzberns had already summoned King Ainz, but there was no news from Director Ken. For some reason, Tohsaka Tokitoki hadn't summoned Fatso the Oldest, seemingly still preparing something. Kariya's relic had just arrived today, and he would begin experimenting with it soon. As for a certain Weber, he'd encountered him at Fuyuki Bridge yesterday, summoning lightning to show off.

According to my own judgment, Director Ken should be about to summon Heroic Spirits. Then, after I've summoned Kariya, only Tokitoki will be left. By the time all the Servants are summoned, the Holy Grail War should be about to begin. I remember that according to Tōsaka Tokiomi's plan, Kotomine Kirei would first send a Hassan clone to a certain Fat Tiger, and then retreat to the background.

Honestly, Tōsaka Tokiomi's setup seems useful, but it's not very effective. Hassan doesn't really play a role, and later on, he just feeds the Emperor experience. It can only be said that Tōsaka Tokiomi plays too conservatively. If a hero like Hassan were given to a guy like Emiya Kiritsugu who's willing to use anything, the Holy Grail War would probably be over in just three days.

By the way, Wang Chong took a look at the record of tourists who came to Fuyuki City today. It seemed that neither his wife nor Kiritsugu, even Director Ken, had found the list above.

"But there are so many foreigners here. Guy Corey... Dulles Duke... Yawn... I don't find anything on the list of men, let's take a look at the list of women. Jenny... Angelica... Leticia... Irene... Hmm?" While reading the names, Wang Chong suddenly read a name that seemed familiar, so he quickly turned around to look at that name again.

"Letitia... Letitia!? What? It can't be the Letitia I know." Wang Chong stood up immediately. Looking at the name, the image of a blonde village girl appeared in Wang Chong's mind.

"This... this isn't right. Could it be a coincidence? It would be fine if it was just this name, but why did it appear in a place like the Holy Grail War? No, I have to investigate. Tsk, I was thinking of asking Kariya to summon the Yangtze River Knights later. Now I have to go check it out." Without saying a word, Wang Chong ran to find Semiramis, who was having her familiars transform the Matou family.

Recently, I was able to escape without being seen by the familiars, but I had to rely on Semiramis's help. Of course, my silent black mist and spider sense, which allowed me to quickly locate the familiars, also helped me escape safely.

"Going out again? Didn't you just go out to get information? I remember that Master, you are going to help that man summon a servant later?" Although Semiramis was surprised that the other party was in such a hurry to run out, she still cast a magic on Wang Chong so that he could escape the sight of those familiars and leave.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot one thing. I have collected all the items on the list of materials you gave me." Wang Chong said, opening his system space and taking out some wood, stone, minerals, plants and some magic materials.

"Look, are these the things?"

"Sniff... Well, this is indeed something from my homeland. This way, I can chant the Noble Phantasm when the Holy Grail War begins. Hehe, when the [Hanging Gardens of Vanity] is completely completed, victory will be in our hands." Semiramis said with a confident smile.

"Yeah, yeah, as long as you're happy." In response to Semiramis's statement, Wang Chong said that it was just like that. If he was really that awesome, he wouldn't have lost to the black team.

What's more, this war involves the most ancient Fat Tiger King. You're just being vain, and who knows, someone might pull out the real deal for you. Although Wang Chong was very curious, could Wang Cai fit such a large architectural treasure?

As for those materials, Wang Chong had drawn them from the normal pool. It seemed his system was quite good, knowing what he needed most and filling the normal pool with them. However, it still took him 30 consecutive normal draws to obtain the required quantity, which meant he had already spent 3000 Villain Points. Wang Chong also managed to collect 1000 other points, bringing his current Villain Points to 4000.

Well, as for the wool being plundered, I have to thank a certain Mrs. Tosaka who actively cooperated. Every time I see Mrs. Tosaka Aoi sobbing and saying, "Toki... wuwu... I'm sorry...", it always makes me more... unable to stop~

……

Wang Chong had already arrived near the bridge. Since it was daytime, he wouldn't run into the Wang Fei group there for the time being. But even if they did, it wouldn't matter. He could just pretend to be a passerby and leave.

Now he needed to quickly find Kotomine Kirei and have him investigate the whereabouts of Leticia. He hoped he was wrong, but Wang Chong had a vague feeling that the other person might actually be that person. And it was very likely that he had been possessed by a village girl.

After all, Wang Chong examined his current situation and found that the script he was currently holding was extremely similar.

The number of servants exceeds seven, and he controls multiple servants. During the Fourth War, he summoned the Empress and was the mastermind behind it. By the way, some of his powers are very similar to the effects of the Third Law, and he also has some unclear relations with the Holy Church.

Who am I?

"Oh no, now I've got the Amakusa script. I was wondering why I got so many black keys out of the 30 draws! Okay, okay, this is how we play it, right?" Wang Chong thought to himself.

Cars were coming and going as Wang Chong waited for the red light at the intersection. While Wang Chong was still lost in thought, he suddenly felt someone tugging at his sleeve.

"Um... Hello, sorry to bother you." A very familiar voice reached Wang Chong's ears, causing him to shudder all over, and then he turned around mechanically.

I saw a beautiful young girl from abroad with long braided blond hair. She bowed slightly to me with an apologetic look on her face and said, "Hello, I would like to know where the church is in this city. Could you please tell me?"

"Wow, Joan of Arc!" Wang Chong almost blurted out, but he feigned composure, nodded with a smile, and said, "What a coincidence! I'm also going to the church, so it's just on my way."

"Eh? Really?"

"Really? More real than Joan of Arc." Wang Chong muttered to himself, then nodded and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go there yourself. Just walk across this bridge, and then..."

After roughly pointing out the direction for the other party, the blonde girl nodded, and then as if she had thought of something, she quickly said: "Sorry, I didn't doubt your meaning."

"It's okay. When you go out, you should always be on guard against others. You look like a foreigner, right? Which country are you from and why are you traveling here?" Wang Chong asked.

"Yeah, I'm from France..." As if because her words had won the other party's favor, the blonde beauty also opened up and started chatting with Wang Chong.

The light turned green, and Wang Chong and the blonde girl headed towards Fuyuki Church. They chatted pleasantly along the way. However, as they chatted, Wang Chong began to mutter to himself, "I never expected to run into her in person. I'm certain she's the Leticia I know, the Ruler Jeanne's possession."

Chapter 38 Second Fate

"Leticia's appearance here is definitely not a coincidence. She was most likely chosen as the carrier of Jeanne d'Arc to participate in this Holy Grail War. But... why did the Ruler appear?" Wang Chong began to think.

"First, excluding FGO's setting. If the Ruler were to appear during the Holy Grail War, there would generally be only two scenarios: one, the format of the Holy Grail War being extremely unique, with the outcome being uncertain, meaning the Holy Grail would determine the need for a Ruler; the other, the impact of the Holy Grail War could potentially distort the world."

"From what I can tell, is it because I summoned more Servants, causing the Holy Grail War to become special? Or is it because my presence has caused the impact of this Holy Grail War to distort the world?" Wang Chong speculated. Either way, it wasn't good news for Wang Chong. This meant that the Inhibition had already set its sights on him.

But then again, these days, it's strange if travelers aren't targeted by the Suppressive Force. Just how much of a variable is a being completely unrecorded by the Root? Gaia and Alaya must have known Du Ming well.

"The only miscalculation was that I suddenly ran into Joan of Arc and let her see my true face. This is going to be difficult... Do I have to spend some effort to capture her?" Wang Chong's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Ah! I see the church." Leticia said, pointing to the Fuyuki Church in front of her.

"Well, then you can just go in. There is a very kind priest here." Wang Chong said.

"Hmm!" Leticia stopped after taking a few steps, turned around and asked, "Sir, aren't you going in with us?"

"No, I'm just here to wait for a friend." Wang Chong shook his head and said.

"Is that so... Then thank you for leading the way, sir." Leticia waved goodbye to Wang Chong with a smile and walked into the church.

"I hope she will treat me as an ordinary passerby from now on." Wang Chong thought to himself as he walked towards Kotomine Kirei's residence and put on a mask.

……

"So, this girl is very special?" Kotomine Kirei stared at Leticia who was praying devoutly in the dark crevice of the confessional, and then turned to ask Wang Chong.

"That's right... She has the scent of a spirit. If my guess is correct, she must be possessed by a heroic spirit." Wang Chong said slowly.

"Possessed by a Heroic Spirit? Could it be that she is also the Master of the Holy Grail War? And that she is a Master and Servant merged into one?" Kotomine Kirei asked in surprise.

"No, she wasn't a participant in the war, otherwise your father would have noticed. The Heroic Spirit within her doesn't belong to any of the seven classes. If I'm not mistaken, she's a Ruler."

"Adjudicator? Doesn't that mean..."

"That's right Kirei, she will replace your father to judge the final winner of this Holy Grail War. I'm afraid your teacher's plan is going to be in trouble." Wang Chong said with a dangerous smile on his face.

"That's really...pleasant." Kotomine Kirei also showed a knowing smile. When he thought that his teacher would no longer be able to maintain that elegance because of this, Kotomine Kirei found it extremely interesting.

"Do I need to ask Hassan to keep an eye on it?" asked Kotomine Kirei.

"No... The Judge has the ability to search for enemies by negating Assassin's 'Breath Blocking' ability, and the search limit is a ten-kilometer radius. Using Heroic Spirits to follow her will easily lead to detection. It's better to use some secular power to find her residence." Wang Chong said.

"I understand." Kotomine Kirei nodded.

"How's the situation at Shichen now? Hasn't the heroic spirit been summoned yet?" Wang Chong asked.

"Teacher should be able to summon the Heroic Spirit tonight." Kotomine Kirei said.

"It seems I have to stay away from street lights at night from now on."

"?"

……

After bidding farewell to Kotomine Kirei, Wang Chong returned home and had Matou Kariya summon his original companion, Kuang Lan. While it was a shame that Lancelot's Berserk wasted his abilities, Kuang Lan was still quite useful overall, especially against a certain Streetlight King.

"A fragment of the Knights of the Round Table. Sure enough, this thing was used to summon Lancelot. But this holy relic is quite useful. Maybe I can use it to summon other Knights of the Round Table in the future." Wang Chong thought to himself.

"Matou Kariya, you and Lancelot should spend the next few days getting to know each other. Just follow the plan when the time comes. Who knows, you might be able to suppress Tōsaka Tokiomi's arrogance." Wang Chong said.

"Thank you, Lord Wang Chong, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely not let you down." Matou Kariya clenched his fists and half-knelt in front of Wang Chong, saying.
