The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

"Yes, it's justice. We fight against those deviant Servants in order to put the Holy Grail War back on track. This is a righteous act, and fighting against those in the shadows is even more about demonstrating our righteousness and holding high the banner of justice. Only in this way can we deter the evildoers." Wang Chong finished speaking, pointing to the three Servants present and saying, "I see the King of Conquerors, Diarmait, and the King of Knights. You are all upright men, and only the name of justice can demonstrate your commonality. In this way, the name of the Justice League is truly destined."

"Follow the will of heaven and carry out justice. This is the slogan of our alliance. What do you think?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

Chapter 119 Settlement Rewards

"Hahahaha, you really are worthy of being the eloquent Ruined King. Following destiny and executing justice? Very good. I think Diarmait and the Knight King should also like this slogan and name." After pondering his words for a while, Iskandar laughed and said.

"Justice League?... It is indeed the name of the alliance that best suits our current will and purpose. I agree." Diarmait nodded and said with a chuckle.

"I have no objection either," said Altria.

"In that case, let's make a pact by high-five!" Iskandar raised his hand and clapped hands with the other three present. Then he said, "Since there is nothing else tonight and there will be no further disputes, I will take my Master back first."

"Wait a moment, King of Conquerors." At this moment, Wang Chong came out and raised his hand, and a ring made of black mist appeared.

"What is this?" Iskandar picked up the black mist ring with his index finger and thumb, looked at it and asked.

"It's a prop I made. It allows us to keep in touch at all times. This way, if anything goes wrong on either side, we can come to support in time." After Wang Chong finished explaining, he took out two black mist rings and handed them to Diarmuid and Artoria.

"This is a very convenient prop. It's very similar to those telephones we have nowadays, and can transmit sound over thousands of miles." Iskandar put it in his pocket and then said, "Well, everyone, I hope you'll be safe and sound when we meet again next time. Then we can raise a toast and celebrate together. Hahahahahaha."

Iskandar drove off with Waver in the chariot. Wang Chong looked at Diarmait and asked, "What are your plans next, Diarmait?"

"Let me take my lord back first. The most important thing right now is to heal his injuries. We still need to give it a try no matter what. I'm sorry, you two, I can't keep you company any longer." Diarmait looked at Kenneth on his back, and still felt that his lord could be rescued.

"In that case, Diarmait, you and I need to move to another place. Don't let those alien servants and masters find us again. You are the most vulnerable party now." Wang Chong said.

"Well. Then, Knight King, Ruined King. See you tomorrow." Diarmait nodded, finally bidding farewell to Wang Chong and Altria, and leaving the castle with Kayneth. In the end, only Wang Chong's group and Saber's group remained in the dilapidated castle.

"Thank you so much for tonight, Ruined King." Artoria looked at Wang Chong and spoke sincerely.

"No, I didn't actually help much, and I even let those alien servants run away. I can be said to have ruined my own reputation." Wang Chong shook his head, smiled faintly, and said.

"If it weren't for the Ruined King's help, we would have been kept in the dark until the end. Even without your help, with Kiritsugu Emiya's careful arrangements, we might have been safe tonight. But we were destined not to notice his conspiracy and would eventually become his victims." Artoria shook her head and spoke out.

"This is actually because we have concealed some things from you. If we had told you about what Emiya Kiritsugu did earlier... However, if we had known that you were related to that man, perhaps we would not have cooperated with you, and Diarmait and his group would probably have been completely devoured silently." Wang Chong said.

"Furthermore, King of Knights, you can also make another choice. No matter how despicable and unscrupulous Emiya Kiritsugu's previous actions were, his ultimate goal was to become the champion of the Holy Grail War. This is beyond doubt. And you are a normal Servant of Emiya Kiritsugu participating in the Holy Grail War. If Emiya Kiritsugu really had to choose between you and that Saber, I think he would choose to let you survive to the end and win the final victory of the Holy Grail War with him. So..."

"King of the Ruined, since we have already formed an alliance, please stop testing me or even insulting me. Even if I want to win the Holy Grail War, I will never approve of Kiritsugu Emiya's behavior." Artoria said sternly.

"I was right about you, King of Knights. That's why your case is the most difficult to deal with. It's not just Emiya Kiritsugu... Don't forget there are two more people." Wang Chong said slowly.

"Are you talking about...Mrs. Irisviel and Miss Maiya?" Altria instantly understood who Wang Chong was referring to.

"As for Irisviel, I'm afraid you, the Knight King, will have to do some more ideological work. I can see that although Irisviel is in love with Emiya Kiritsugu, she is actually a very simple and kind person. With your help, it shouldn't be difficult." Wang Chong said slowly, "However, Miss Maiya may not be able to do that. This is why I didn't let her in before. Although she has the eyes of a death warrior, her loyalty is not to Mrs. Irisviel. Now that I think about it, she should be considered loyal to Emiya Kiritsugu. We can't change such a die-hard loyal person."

"So what are you going to do...?"

"It's very simple. Aren't they all unconscious? Knight King, don't tell them about our four-person alliance for now. Let's continue to focus on our two-family alliance. Then, I will use some tricks to prevent Miss Maiya from waking up so quickly. After being seriously injured, it's normal to be unconscious for a day and a night, isn't it?" Wang Chong said slowly. "Knight King, during this day and night, I believe that Mrs. Irisviel will make the choice she wants to make. She will also get a better understanding of Emiya Kiritsugu and make the right judgment."

"I see. I understand." Artoria nodded.

"How about this, Saber? Your castle is in such a dilapidated state now, and most of it has been destroyed. It's probably no longer habitable. My home and mine are quite big, so why don't you bring Miss Maiya and Mrs. Irisviel to stay with us for one night? They need care, don't they? This castle is still too dangerous right now." Wang Chong suggested.

"This..." Artoria looked at the devastated scene around her and said, "I hope it won't bother you too much. And your Master, the Ruined King..."

"It's alright, my Master is always happy to help. Just rest assured. Whether or not we'll stay here long-term depends on Mrs. Irisviel's attitude." Wang Chong said, then walked towards the room where Jeanne and Irisviel were, saying, "Let's go, King of Knights. This night has been quite turbulent already. It's time to rest up and recharge your batteries."

After thinking about it, Altria found that there was no other way, so she could only walk quickly forward and follow Wang Chong into the room.

……

"System, please help me calculate today's gains. You haven't spoken a word all day."

At this moment, in the wilderness, Wang Chong was in a quiet place, awaiting the arrival of the others. He had once again swapped places with his clone, leaving it to take care of him on the way home. He himself was here, preparing to draw the final curtain on everything that had happened tonight.

"It's because the host muted me when he was doing that kind of thing with Mrs. Tohsaka because he thought I was disturbing his interest. Now that it's time to reward him, he finally remembered Tongbao. Humph~" The system said with a muffled groan.

"Oh, how could I dislike you, System? Don't you need to concentrate to do your work? And I also want to know what you think of me today, System. I'm really looking forward to it." Wang Chong coaxed with a smile.

"Hmph, that's more like it. Let me see where the system prompts start... Ah, here, there's already a reward for coaxing Mrs. Irisviel from noon." The system retrieved the screen, then coughed twice and said:

"Ding—You successfully deceived Mrs. Irisviel and the Knight King, gaining their trust and joining forces with you. You slightly altered the fate of Irisviel and Altria, and are awarded a total of 500 Villain Points."

"Ding—You maliciously gave Miss Maiya a serving of mapo tofu, nearly sending her to the hospital for gastric lavage. I award you 50 villain points."

"Ding—You forced Aoi Tousaka to serve you, subjected the married woman to humiliation, and nearly exposed yourself in front of your daughter. Your actions put many villains to shame. This has significantly increased Tousaka Aoi's depravity value, making her a truly abominable, yellow-haired villain! Therefore, I reward the host with 500 Villain Points, increase the durability of the host's weapon, grow the host's weapon by 1cm, and strengthen the host's kidneys once."

“??? What the hell.” Wang Chong didn’t know what to say when he heard about the reward for this line of work.

Chapter 120 Ending

Although this reward was somewhat strange, Wang Chong gladly accepted it. After all, no one would refuse to improve their abilities in that area. However, the system's announcement was far from over. The system continued:

"Ding—You've intimidated Kenneth with your villainous demeanor, causing him to feel uneasy. I'll award you 50 Villain Points."

"Ding—You used words to trick Kenneth into joining the plot, and then you directed the trouble to Dongshui, putting the blame on Emiya Kiritsugu. I reward you with 200 villain points."

"Ding—you used a series of tricks and carefully planned to trick Kayneth into becoming disabled by Emiya Kiritsugu. You then pinned the blame for this Holy Grail War on Kiritsugu, attracting many witnesses. Finally, you used physical evidence to completely solidify Kiritsugu's reputation as a villain. You just successfully formed an alliance, becoming the leader in the fight against Alien Servants and Alien Masters. Hiding in the shadow of justice, you completely controlled the course of the Holy Grail War! You are worthy of the title of the ultimate villain of the Holy Grail War. You are specially awarded 1000 Villain Points, a random Noble Phantasm jar, three strokes of the Command Seals, and one Epic Prize draw."

"Your current villain points are: 11040 points."

"I got another epic lottery ticket. If I do it again, I can start a ten-draw streak. My villain points have reached more than 1 points, so I can buy a dimensional house." Wang Chong said after looking at the panel displayed by the system.

"However, in terms of points earned, it's still a lot less than last night. It turns out that you have to do something that shocks everyone to truly earn villain points." Wang Chong couldn't help but sigh.

"But host, you must understand that the path you are taking now is the truly orthodox path of a villain. The longer the villain hides, the more trusted he is, and the greater the subversive shock he will bring when he finally appears, and the greater the wave of villain points he will gain. In other words, host, don't underestimate the small number of points or rewards now. This is the result of long-term accumulation. When the host completely completes the plan for the Holy Grail War, all the preparations made before will bring huge benefits to the host once they explode." The system explained involuntarily.

"Well, to commend the host for your perfect plan tonight, the system will issue another special reward. Ding—since the host has thoroughly established himself as a good person tonight, gained the trust of many Servants and Masters, and perfectly pinned the label of villain on others, the host is specially awarded the aura title: [Master Behind the Scenes]. [Master Behind the Scenes] Effect: You are naturally easy to gain the trust and goodwill of others, and your strategies are as if divinely assisted. When executing any strategy, your luck increases by 10%, increasing the probability of success."

"Tsk tsk, System-chan, great job. It seems that choosing to keep you was undoubtedly the best decision I ever made." Wang Chong couldn't help but smile and praise.

"Hehe, this is the natural result. The host chose to keep me, which is enough to show that the host's vision and perspective are beyond anyone else. And the system will do its best to assist the host, to ensure that the host can use it with confidence, is happy to improve, and is more motivated to earn points. After all, the host and I have a relationship of shared success and shared failure." The system also said proudly.

"Haha, I'm complimenting you, you're still breathing. But as for points, I really need to find a way to continue earning some. There are still many good things in the mall that I really want to exchange. Speaking of which, I really have never had a decent Noble Phantasm and Noble Phantasm skills. Sometimes in this world, I also want to play with real Noble Phantasms... For example, the Sun Wheel Armor of Little Sun in the mall that sells for 1.5 villain points. Tsk tsk, that's really tempting." Wang Chong couldn't help but say.

"Host, don't worry about the villain points. Today is only the second night of the Holy Grail War. There are still several days of fighting to go. Also, host, your servants are here." The system reminded.

At this time, Wang Chong also heard some chirping sounds coming from the dense forest.

"Really? This is my first time acting in this kind of scene. I memorized a bunch of messed up lines, and I feel like I mispronounced several of them just to put the blame on this guy. Humph, this is my father's Master. My father is really unlucky. Not only does he have a Master like this who has a very bad relationship with him, but he is also being targeted by our Master. This guy is going to suffer in the next few days." Mordred's voice came.

"Don't complain. I know what it feels like to play against the Master. Tsk, it would be better for me to meet those other Servants. I don't want to fight the Master again. If I go easy on him, I'm afraid he'll be noticed. If I go too hard... I'll be very unhappy. Tsk, it wasn't until the final fight with that woman that I could finally let go and fight without restraint." Black Jeanne d'Arc said a little awkwardly.

"Okay, okay, there's nothing we can do about it. Actually, we're fine. The Master has thought of all the plans and lines for us. We just need to act according to the script given by the Master, but the Master has a lot of things to consider. Not to mention the lines and layout that have to be arranged in the front, but after the official start, we have to keep controlling the entire situation, constantly adjust the plan as we prepare, prevent variables from arising, and so on. The Master can be said to be very worried and energetic, and we have to help share the pressure on the Master." Little Medusa said softly.

"Is everyone here?" At this time, a voice caught the attention of the three followers, and Wang Chong appeared right in front of them.

"Master." The three servants stopped moving forward immediately after seeing this.

"Everyone completed their mission very well this time. Mordred, you successfully held back the Knight King and Diarmait, leaving them too busy to deal with the situation in the castle. You even managed to trick the Knight King into believing that Emiya Kiritsugu was your Master. Not only are you excellent in combat, but I didn't expect you to have such acting skills. It's truly impressive," Wang Chong praised without reservation.

"Ha, isn't that natural? There's nothing I, Mordred, can't do as long as I want to." Mordred said confidently.

"Black Joan of Arc, you and I tricked Kenneth here, and then you competed with me and successfully kept Joan of Arc's sight in our home court. After I left, you successfully tied Joan of Arc there and didn't let her notice anything unusual on our side. It can be said that you are a crucial link to the success of our plan. How about it, how do you feel after experiencing Joan of Arc's power?" Wang Chong said.

"Haha, that was certainly a delight. If it weren't for the unreasonable privileges her class constantly granted me, I would have taken her down long ago. But my Avenger class is no pushover. I'm sure she felt terrible when I hit her." Black Jeanne chuckled, as if recalling something good, and then said, "But Master, when will we finally drag that saint into the mud? I can't wait any longer."

"No rush. We can't push her too hard right now. After all, Alaya is standing behind her. If she's too frustrated, I'm afraid Alaya will resort to more tactics. We should take our time, like boiling a frog in warm water. By then, no one will be able to escape." Wang Chong finished speaking, looked at Little Medusa, and asked, "Little Medusa, have you finished recording everything for tonight?"

"Yes, Master, everything recorded about following Emiya Kiritsugu is in it. Especially the method by which Emiya Kiritsugu defeated Kayneth is clearly engraved in the record stone." Little Medusa nodded and handed the record stone to Wang Chong.

"Hehehe, I wonder what that guy Tōsaka Tokiomi will think after getting this and seeing the next scene? I hope his choice will not disappoint me~" Wang Chong put the recording stone in his arms, then looked at Emiya Kiritsugu who was lying unconscious on the ground, his eyes fixed on the Command Seal on his left hand.

"Kotomine Kirei really surprised me. He actually successfully transferred the three Command Seals I gave him to Emiya Kiritsugu's left hand without anyone noticing. I don't know how he managed to make contact with his left hand and complete the transfer." Wang Chong couldn't help but think.

"Master, what should we do with this guy?" Mordred pointed at Emiya Kiritsugu in front of him and said.

"Just put him somewhere. As for everyone else, you still have to accompany me for the last show of the night. One of our lucky audience members will be arriving soon." Wang Chong took out his face-changing mask and put it on his face. Soon, Wang Chong's appearance changed into the same as that of Emiya Kiritsugu lying on the ground. Then, Wang Chong took off Emiya Kiritsugu's coat and put it on himself.

"Our audience is about to arrive, and the final short play is about to begin." Wang Chong stared at Kiritsugu Emiya's face, revealing a strange smile, and said.

Chapter 121: Tōsaka Tokiomi's Movements

The Tosaka Family

Tōsaka Tokiomi was currently watching a projection, his eyes pensive. Meanwhile, Kotomine Kirei was standing nearby; the projection had been created by Kotomine Kirei.

Tonight's Holy Grail War was somewhat turbulent. The Einzbern castle was quite close to the Tōsaka clan, and powerful magical fluctuations and reactions were transmitted here from time to time. However, Tōsaka Tokiomi's strategy tonight was to remain inactive, and continue to let Kotomine Kirei investigate the details of the alien Servants and their masters. The projection was currently showing scenes of Kotomine Kirei battling Emiya Kiritsugu, Mordred battling Artoria, Diarmuid, and various fierce magical clashes emerging from the castle.

"The above is what the Assassins recorded." Kotomine Kirei said slowly.

"Emiya Kiritsugu...although his time acceleration technique is indeed extraordinary. But if that were all, he would definitely not be a match for that monarch. How on earth did he injure Kayneth so severely?"

After learning that Kenneth was going to attack the Einzberns, Tohsaka Tokiomi wanted Kenneth to test the Einzberns's background first. Since the Einzberns dared to do these strange servants behind the scenes, they must have some confidence. However, Tohsaka Tokiomi originally thought that Kenneth would at most return in defeat, but he never expected that he would be seriously injured and unconscious. This outcome was beyond Tohsaka Tokiomi's expectations.

"Are you sure the news brought by the Assassin is true?" Tōsaka Tokiomi asked again.

"It's certain. When Assassin approached the other party, even if it was only for a moment, he still saw Lancer's Master, Kayneth, covered in blood, breathing weakly, and showing no signs of consciousness. And that Lancer's behavior was also very extreme. After discovering Assassin, he immediately waved his gun to warn... Hmm?" Kotomine Kirei was about to explain when he suddenly frowned, his thoughts interrupted by something.

"what happened?"

"Teacher, an Assassin died outside, and the information he glimpsed before his death seemed somewhat shocking." After Kotomine Kirei finished speaking, he adjusted some information. The screen showed a dense forest, and in the dense forest, a man's back appeared, and three servants surrounded him in front. They were the three alien servants who started the riot tonight - Black Jeanne d'Arc, Mordred, and Little Medusa.

"Although there have been some unexpected changes this time, fortunately all plans are proceeding smoothly. The other two families, especially the Tohsaka family, are indeed keeping their troops on hold. However, when the news of Kenneth's magic circuit being destroyed reaches us tomorrow, these two families will definitely be on alert." said the man's voice.

"Teacher, this voice and this figure are undoubtedly Emiya Kiritsugu. I have fought with him and can confirm it." Kotomine Kirei said.

Tōsaka Tokiomi nodded, and continued to watch the projection with a serious expression. The "Emiya Kiritsugu" on the screen continued, "Kayneth is now useless. Without the demon, the demise of the Lancer Group is only a matter of time... The next one will be either the Tōsaka or the Matou family. Alter, Lancer, when you return, inform your respective Masters and have them prepare to target both families. The Tōsaka family, in particular, is a formidable opponent, both in terms of Heroic Spirit status and the strength and personality of their Masters. I'm afraid the same strategy won't work against Kayneth again, but everyone has weaknesses. We just need to..."

"who!!"

Suddenly, Mordred roared, and in an instant, he rose to his feet. A sword light filled with oppression instantly enveloped the entire scene. At the moment when the last scene ended, the man with his back to the screen turned around. Even if it was just a side profile, his face was surprisingly none other than Emiya Kiritsugu himself. And then, the scene ended.

"This is the last message from the deceased Assassin." Kotomine Kirei closed the message and spoke slowly.

The entire room fell into a deathly silence, an indescribable sense of oppression permeating the room. Tōsaka Tokiomi hesitated to speak, while Kotomine Kirei waited expressionlessly, his face devoid of any urgency.

After a long moment, Tōsaka Tokiomi's eyes sharpened and he said, "Kotomine Kirei, you have to do three things next."

"First, go find the Lancer Group. I want to know what happened to Kenneth tonight. What could have caused a monarch to lose his magic circuits? Second, inform your father to officially issue a subjugation order against alien Servants and Alien Masters, and to designate Emiya Kiritsugu as a key target. These destabilizing factors must be dealt with as soon as possible. Third... I have to go to the Zenjo household tomorrow to make some arrangements. While I'm away during the day, Fuyuki City will be fully under your control, Kirei."

"Yes, teacher..." Kotomine Kirei answered without further questioning.

"咚咚-"

The ancient clock in Tōsaka Tokiomi's room rang, and midnight had passed. Today, the second night of the Holy Grail War had become the past, and the pendulum of fate also swung to the other direction at this moment.

……

"Kiritsugu... Kiritsugu..."

Irisviel found herself in darkness, surrounded by an eerie silence, a thick black fog shrouding the land. The darkness, oppression, and the occasional whispers only deepened her fear, causing her to subconsciously call out her lover's name, hoping for him to appear.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed Irisviel's boot. Irisviel's body froze. She turned around and saw a familiar figure at her feet. It was none other than the blood-stained Kenneth. His face was hideous and ferocious. He opened his mouth and roared, "Ahhhh!! Emiya Kiritsugu!! I'm going to kill you!! I'm going to kill you!!!"

Kenneth's voice, like a voice from the depths of the abyss, was terrifying. He waved his arms wildly, his blood-red eyes fixed on Irisviel, as if to rip her soul from her body. Rage and murderous intent washed over him, practically sending chills down her spine. In her eyes, those blood-stained hands gradually transformed into demonic claws, threatening to tear her apart.

Irisviel felt that her breathing was becoming difficult. She tried hard to escape from this nightmarish place, but her body seemed to be nailed to the spot and she could not move.

"My magic circuits! Everything I have! All destroyed by this despicable villain! Even if I go to hell and become a demon, I won't let you go! I'm going to peel off your skin! Extract your bones and refine your marrow! I'm going to curse you and everyone connected to you! Ah!!! I'm going to kill you! Kill you all!!"

Kenneth's already distorted and hideous face was instantly distorted. His eyes had completely lost focus, his pupils dilated, and his eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets. Bright red blood flowed from his seven orifices, coating his face like a monster from hell. Kenneth roared and snarled like a true devil. Suddenly, Kenneth let out a beast-like roar, abruptly stood up, and attempted to pounce on Irisviel.

"what!"

Terrified, Irisviel suddenly burst forth with strength, kicking Kenneth in the face with all her might, then desperately tried to escape. Kenneth, however, held onto her shoe tightly, refusing to let go, and even after being knocked down, tried to get up again. In desperation, Irisviel wrenched her boot free and, recklessly, fled.

Roaring sounds continued to come from behind her. Irisviel didn't even dare to look back, running forward quickly. In this strange place, for some reason, she couldn't mobilize any magic power. Like an ordinary person, she had no power to resist these strange and evil things.

As the roar faded away, Irisviel was able to slow down her pace. Of course, she couldn't move any further.

"Where on earth am I from... Why am I here... Could this be... Hell?"

Thinking of this, Irisviel's heart began to palpitate. She gasped and looked around. Suddenly, she saw a faintly glowing figure walking forward in the black fog ahead of her. The light footsteps were getting smaller and smaller, as if they were moving away from her.

"Wait!" After finally seeing a figure appear here, even though Irisviel was a little afraid of the sudden appearance of weird things and monsters, she could only chase the figure as far as possible if she wanted to escape from here.

"Could it be Kiritsugu?" Irisviel wondered in her heart.

Chapter 122: Nightmare? Or Hell?

As the distance between Irisviel and the other person gradually closed, although the black mist still obstructed her vision, Irisviel finally made out the other person's back. Unfortunately, it was not Emiya Kiritsugu. However, Irisviel also recognized who it was—Miss "Letitia" (Jeanne), Caster's Master.

"Ms. Leticia!" Irisviel called out her name quickly. As soon as she spoke, she stopped and turned slightly. Sure enough, it was none other than "Leticia." She looked delighted when she saw her, waiting for her to approach.

When Irisviel reached Leticia, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. For some reason, Leticia's face looked considerably paler than before. She hadn't noticed before because of the black fog, but only after she got closer did she notice her pallor.

Irisviel felt a sense of unease in her heart. Looking at the pale smile of "Leticia", she couldn't help but feel a little creepy, so she asked aloud, "Ms. Leticia...?"
