"..." Wang Chong didn't answer, but looked towards Illya. Aozaki Touko understood what Wang Chong meant and shouted, "Fujino!"
At this moment, the door of a room opened, and a lovely purple-haired girl slowly walked out. This girl was none other than Asagami Fujino, the girl Wang Chong had rescued earlier. She was now well-nourished and no longer as frail as before. Her eyes had also regained their luster, as if she had regained her vitality.
"Teacher?" Asagami Fujino asked.
"Take this child to your room to play. I have something important to discuss with the guest." Aozaki Touko said.
"Yes." Asagami Fujino walked forward.
"Illya, go make some friends." Wang Chong also advised.
"Okay, big brother." Illya naturally would not refuse. She took Asagami Fujino's hand and followed him into the room.
"Okay, can you speak now?" Aozaki Touko said slowly, and then a drop of sweat slowly slid down her cheek.
Honestly, Aozaki Touko was extremely nervous. Due to her own intelligence network and some information about the other party that only she knew, when Aozaki Touko saw the Einzbern child, a very dangerous thought instantly came to her mind.
Aozaki Touko only hoped that her guess was wrong, otherwise she wouldn't be able to deal with such a real monster. If Aozaki Touko hadn't sensed the other party's malice and murderous intent, she would have either run away or attacked first.
"Bang." A dull sound was heard, and an object as big as a person was placed on the table for the two of them.
"The Einzbern puppet!" Aozaki Touko immediately recognized what Wang Chong had placed on the table. The dress, the body structure, and the technology within it—to Aozaki Touko's expert eye, she instantly discerned the result. This result further confirmed Aozaki Touko's suspicions.
"Yes, just as you thought." At this moment, Wang Chong pulled out a mask and covered his face. Soon, a face familiar to Aozaki Touko appeared. It was the image of Dio, the culprit in the Einzbern family massacre, a figure circulated among the various mage classes.
"I am the true ancestor who destroyed the Einzbern family. Miss Aozaki Touko." Wang Chong spoke slowly, revealing a rather evil smile, then took off the mask and returned to his original appearance.
Chapter 203 Aozaki Orange's Compromise
After hearing Wang Chong's confession, even though Aozaki Touko was prepared, she couldn't help but feel a bit startled. But now, more important than knowing the other party's true identity, she faced a pressing matter. Since the other party had revealed his identity... then, what was the price she had to pay?
Or in other words, what exactly does the other person want to do by looking for you?
As if sensing Aozaki Touko's nervousness and concerns, Wang Chong subdued his aura and adopted the friendly demeanor of an old acquaintance. He laughed heartily and said, "Haha, don't be nervous, Miss Aozaki. I came to you today with a cooperative attitude."
"Cooperation? What do you want me to do?" Although Aozaki Touko felt that the other party's oppressive aura was no longer there, she did not relax all her vigilance, so she asked.
"I need a body. You know..." Wang Chong said, pointing at the Einzbern dolls on the table.
"I heard that there will be an Einzbern puppet participating in the Holy Grail War this time..." After saying that, Aozaki Touko didn't say anything else. She knew that some things should not be said too clearly.
"Well, that's about it. I had a good relationship with that person during this Holy Grail War, and I wanted to help her prepare a new body for her. However, the Einzbern family, who possessed this technology, has been destroyed by me... so the only ones left are Miss Aozaki and her family." Wang Chong paused and smiled, "In a sense, I have helped Miss Aozaki. From now on, in this field of magic, Miss Aozaki, you will be the only one far ahead."
"..." Aozaki Touko fell silent for a moment. Clearly, she could hear the threat behind the man's words. She had indeed met a rather troublesome individual. She had even considered studying his blood. Could it be that he had noticed her thoughts and thus gotten her into this mess?
"Well, this request shouldn't be difficult for Miss Aozaki, right? Of course, this won't mean Miss Aozaki works for nothing. Just like before, I have prepared a reward that you will definitely be interested in." After Wang Chong finished speaking, he took out a thick book from the system space and pushed it in front of Aozaki Orange.
"What is this?" Aozaki Touko looked at the book handed over. Could it be that the other party was planning to exchange it for knowledge of magic?
"All of the Einzbern family's android technologies are included here. I think this technology and knowledge will be very helpful to you. I will even hand over more of the Einzbern family's dolls to you for your research. Oh, and the premise is that they are not damaged. After all, those dolls are quite useful to me." Wang Chong said.
The Einzberns' android technology, naturally obtained from the system's reward, was memorized in Wang Chong's mind. He then had the system extract this knowledge and compile it into a book, which would also facilitate Wang Chong's use in transactions.
"That's truly..." Aozaki Touko had to admit that the man's offer was truly tempting. No magus would refuse knowledge, especially knowledge that pertained to their own path. She had long sought to exchange technology with the Einzberns, but unfortunately, they had sealed it off tightly, and even deciphering the technology from the androids yielded very little.
And now, this knowledge was right before her, and the other party even said that they could provide any number of dolls for her reference. But Aozaki Touko suppressed her inner desire and did not act rashly. The reason was simple: the reward the other party offered was... too much, so much that Aozaki Touko didn't think she could repay it with just a body.
"You just said, any number of Einzbern dolls... In other words, the scenes in that video were indeed sleight of hand by you? Those dolls were not killed by you, but all captured by you." Aozaki Touko confirmed.
"That's right. Although the outside world says that I massacred the entire Einzbern family. But in fact, I only killed one person in the entire Einzbern family - the head of the family, who is the main computer that controls the entire Einzbern family. In a sense, those I killed were not human beings." Wang Chong spread his hands and said.
"I understand... Then I only have one question left." After confirming Wang Chong's true actions, Aozaki Touko began to judge Wang Chong's character... In the end, she decided to take a gamble, even though her gambling luck has never been very good.
"Mr. Wang Chong, let's be frank. I am very tempted by your reward and shocked by your deeds. So what price do I need to pay to obtain this information?" Aozaki Touko said in a deep voice.
"Hahaha, Miss Cang Qi, that's a bit too polite. We are friends and partners, aren't we? And I think the Galan Hall is a bit small. It really does Miss Cang Qi a disservice. With your talent, you should have a wider world... The Sealing Designation is indeed quite harmful, but not everyone is afraid of it." After Wang Chong finished speaking, he extended his hand and said, "Then, Miss Cang Qi, this reward is a symbol of our friendship? How do you think?"
"The Mr. Wang Chong I know doesn't speak in such a roundabout way..." Aozaki Touko sighed in annoyance. Although he was rambling, she understood his meaning: he was inviting her to join his side. Aozaki Touko had always hated these things about taking sides. In this respect, she had to admit that she was somewhat similar to her sister Aoko, except that her sister Aoko advocated a truly free life, unconstrained by various identities like magician and fifth magician.
However, Aozaki Touko also harbored an almost obsessive pursuit of the mage path. After weighing the pros and cons, she ultimately decided to accept Wang Chong's invitation. Besides the fact that Wang Chong offered her so much, more importantly, she knew so many secrets about him that she was practically in a dilemma: either friend or foe. While Aozaki Touko was confident, she didn't believe the other party could necessarily defeat her with so many substitute bodies. But having another enemy would certainly be troublesome, and she didn't want to spend the rest of her life frantically fleeing.
Therefore, Aozaki Orange slapped Wang Chong's palm vigorously to vent her dissatisfaction with being oppressed, and shook his hand vigorously. Wang Chong naturally didn't care about this little gesture. It was better to say that achieving the purpose of this trip was the best result for Wang Chong.
Ever since Wang Chong understood the so-called destiny, fate, and the dominant direction of the world's will from the system last night, he had been diligently addressing various hidden dangers and causes and consequences. Guanbuzi City had planted many hidden dangers—the Liangyi family and the Galan Hall. Both places had traces of his past presence, making it easy for someone with ulterior motives to trace him. Therefore, bringing Liangyi back was not only to take care of her, but also to reassure the Liangyi family and to hint to them not to reveal his whereabouts.
The Liang Yi family was naturally very happy to cooperate. In addition, since little Liang Yi Shi had always been in his hands, Wang Chong also believed in the Liang Yi family's promise.
The only place left was the Galan Hall. Wang Chong had always been quite interested in Aozaki Touko's skills, and since Irisviel's new body could only be created by Aozaki Touko, who possessed the skill to create a puppet identical to herself, Wang Chong "kidnapped" Aozaki Touko this time.
Well, kidnapping was a bit rough. To be precise, he wanted to invite Aozaki Touko to his place so that he could study magic and the Einzbern family's android technology with full freedom.
However, Wang Chong hadn't expected that Aozaki Touko had mastered intelligence and information to such an extent that she could deduce his true identity based on just a few fragments of information. This only made Wang Chong even more determined to clear the traces and the cause and effect.
Fortunately, whether it was Wang Chong's charm or she was just lucky, Aozaki Touko didn't choose to fight him to the end, but chose to compromise and cooperate. Therefore, Wang Chong was naturally happy to tolerate Aozaki Touko's little act of venting his displeasure.
"Don't worry, Miss Aozaki, this is just a short-term cooperation. I just invite you to stay with me for a few days. It won't delay your business." Wang Chong also added appropriately at this time.
Aozaki Touko also understood that the other party's words meant that once this Holy Grail War was over, they would no longer care about her. Hearing this, Aozaki Touko realized that her gamble had been a good one. She had obtained the knowledge she needed, and at the same time, she would not lose her freedom in the true sense. If she only helped for a few days, then she had made a huge profit.
"It's the same for me, Mr. Wang Chong. I'm also a woman who keeps her word and doesn't talk too much." After saying this, Aozaki Touko seemed to remember something and said, "But in this case, I can be considered to have taken a ride today."
"Hmm? Do you have any business in Fuyuki City today?" Wang Chong asked doubtfully, but soon remembered something - a certain mineral science monarch is still paralyzed.
Chapter 204 Returning to Ogawa Apartment
"Oh, and it's related to your Holy Grail War. I want to connect a pair of prosthetic limbs to the monarch of the Mineral Department. Oh, I forgot, we are now in a cooperative relationship. My commission will not affect you, right?" Aozaki Touko said.
"Haha, no, it's not like that. It's going to be fun soon. Just go for it." Wang Chong smiled. Kenneth's story reminded him of something, and at that moment, a bold plan began to form in his mind.
"Come to think of it, this Holy Grail War is much more terrifying and intense than any other. Kenneth, the mineral science master who is hailed as a genius, actually had both his arms crippled." Aozaki Touko said.
"Haha, it's not just his arms that are broken...you'll understand when you go and see." Wang Chong knew what Kenneth's injuries meant to the magic world.
"Then shall we leave now?" Since the conditions have been agreed upon, Aozaki Touko no longer plans to stay in the Galan Hall. She is ready to leave immediately and go to reattach the arms of a guy who has paid a huge sum of money.
"No rush. I brought Shi back this time. She has just reunited with her family, so let her spend some time with them. We'll leave in the afternoon." After saying that, Wang Chong put the Einzbern doll back into the space, then stood up, ready to step out of the Galan Hall.
"Wait? Where are you going? The child you just brought is still here?" Aozaki Touko stood up and said.
"Araya Soren is dead." Wang Chong stopped and spoke. Upon hearing the news of Araya Soren's death, Aozaki Touko's brows furrowed slightly.
"Because he's dead, there are some remaining issues that I have to resolve. I'll leave the child I brought with me to your care for now." After Wang Chong finished speaking, he strode out of the Galan Hall.
"Really... do you really think this place is a nursery?" Aozaki Touko shook her head helplessly. But she understood that Wang Chong might be about to do something very dangerous, and it was not suitable for taking care of children.
……
"System, let me confirm. Regardless of the situation, we can directly enter the Dimensional House, right?"
Wang Chong was now walking near Xiaochuan Apartment and was making the final confirmation with the system.
"Don't worry, host. Currently, there is no barrier in this world that can restrict the host from entering the dimensional home, and no one can discover and enter the dimensional home. Moreover, even if the host does not have time to think about it, as long as there is an attack that threatens the host's life, the dimensional home can pull the host to the safe house at the moment of death." The system reminded.
"This truly is a safe house. With it, I don't have to worry about death anymore." Wang Chong couldn't help but say.
"So host, the reason you bought the Dimension House is because there might be a life-and-death battle next?" the system asked curiously.
"Not necessarily. After all, I don't know what my current strength is. It's just that I always like to be safe when doing things." As he spoke, Wang Chong finally arrived at the gate of Xiaochuan Apartment. Looking at this place that had been transformed by Araya Soren, the external environment seemed to have no signs of any battle.
"Why did the host guess that she would be in Ogawa Apartment? Didn't Araya Soren already pack up and head to Tokyo?" the system asked curiously.
"It's only been a month, and there's no way Araya Soren can move out of such a large barrier. Moreover, he has to make sure that he has found the source before he can move. Therefore, his base point or resurrection point is still set in this Xiaochuan Apartment. And since you reminded me that Araya Soren is dead, this proves that Araya Soren is truly dead and there is no resurrection. And since his resurrection point is set in this Xiaochuan Apartment... then the person who killed him is very likely here." Wang Chong said.
"But, now that the killing is over, shouldn't we just leave?"
"No, I heard her say 'I found you' yesterday. I knew it was both an invitation and a test. It was a test to see if I could find her. After all, it was me who induced Araya Zonglian to look for her, and she has traced the cause and effect back to me. She was reminding me of what mistake I had made." Wang Chong shrugged, pushed the door open and walked in.
"Wow—"
A huge blaze instantly swept in from the doorway, but Wang Chong, as if anticipating it, walked straight towards it. This level of fire magic couldn't harm him physically.
"Ah, ah, how miserable, Aruba!" After passing through the sea of blazing flames, Wang Chong finally saw the center of the fire. He saw a burning figure, a man of fire, radiating energy and embedded deep within the pillar, his body covered in runes. Wang Chong could see that his life force, even his soul, was being used as fuel for this fire magic, constantly enduring the pain of being burned like fuel.
"The king's order has been made!" Without hesitation, Wang Chong first destroyed the spell with a sword, and then used the power of destruction to devour the soul, merging it into a member of his own ghost team.
"Hmm?" However, just as Wang Chong destroyed Aruba, a massive repulsive force sent him flying, slamming him into the ceiling. Then, the next moment, he quickly fell to the side. Before he could even hit the wall, he was pulled back to the other side.
"Upside down?" Wang Chong quickly realized the nature of the magic concept he was experiencing. Spatial inversion had previously been demonstrated on the Hanging Gardens, fundamental to their ability to fly. But the inversion here was different. It was chaotic and disorderly, constantly pulling and straining, affecting the vestibular system's balance. Wang Chong felt as if he were in a spinning space.
However, Wang Chong was an old man after all, and he knew how to counter this kind of trick scientifically. He harnessed the power of the Destruction Force, spinning himself at high speed like a spinning top in mid-air, using the laws of conservation of angular momentum and centrifugal force to counter the chaotic, unpredictable pull. Soon, the dizzying feeling faded, and Wang Chong seized the opportunity, bursting through the ceiling and crashing straight into the source of the magic power.
"Now that I've discovered you, it's time to put an end to all those little tricks of your positions!" Wang Chong had just allowed himself to be played with by the upside-down magic, but he hadn't done nothing. Now that he had a wealth of knowledge about magic, he had already used the power of destruction to trace the source of the magic flow. After capturing the opponent's position, Wang Chong directly adopted the shortest attack method between the two points, forcibly breaking through one floor after another.
No matter if it triggers the rules of this layer or not, no matter if there are any random things attacking you, you can only fight with one punch to avoid a hundred blows. I'm not here to challenge you in a step-by-step battle of wisdom and courage. Do you think this is the Creation Mountain?
Why should I waste time with a powerful flying brick? So Wang Chong didn't care about the magic arrays, the traps, or the ghosts and monsters that appeared. Under the influence of the rotation, Wang Chong was like a drill bit breaking through the sky, smashing those floors, magic tricks, monsters, and barriers with unstoppable force!
"Boom!" In an instant, Wang Chong broke through to the top floor. Wang Chong stopped spinning and looked at the source of the magic power, almost cursing.
"So you're the one providing the power, right?" Wang Chong didn't even try to evade the attack this time, slashing directly at the lines of the barrier flying towards him. That was the monk's famous skill: the Six Paths Realm.
However, Wang Chong, now so powerful, had long since disregarded the rules of the barrier. He shattered all the lines of the barrier with brute force alone, and then threw out a sword, directly splitting the guy who had become a puppet in half.
"Damn you, you've done me a disservice. Can't you be more prepared before you provoke someone? Do you really think everyone connected to the Origin is easy to bully?" Wang Chong walked over. The one he had just cleaved in half was none other than Araya Zonglian, who had long since died. However, his body also bore the same signs of tampering as Aruba's.
"That's right, this building itself is connected to you, so using you as a power source is really the most appropriate. So after all this fuss, this is just a trap room? Could it be that I guessed wrong?" Wang Chong muttered to himself.
"No... the magical aura of this building hasn't ended yet... Ha, in that case, I'll unleash all my might today. See if I can pull you out. Vast scorched earth!" At that moment, Wang Chong unleashed all the black mist from his body. Unlike the Holy Grail War, this time Wang Chong mobilized his full power. In an instant, the black mist enveloped the entire building, devouring the magical energy completely, and then tracing it back to its source.
Wang Chong had discovered seven fake sources, each of which was the body that Araya Soren had originally used to revive him. However, they had now been molded into the source of magic power for this building.
"I found you!" Suddenly, Wang Chong opened his eyes, and with a bang, he quickly drilled downwards again like a gyroscope.
Chapter 205: Sha Tiao Love Song
In a dimly lit place, a blonde [flat-chested] girl was humming a song in a good mood, sitting on a wooden chair with a perverted smile on her face, staring straight at the screen where a cold-blooded man was splitting Araya Zonglian's body with a sword.
"Ah~ How violent... No, it's how brave. And that mysterious, completely impenetrable black mist... Hiss, it's so mysterious that it's fascinating, my Prince." The blonde girl smiled foolishly, carefully looking at the stern man's next move.
"Oh... I think I've been discovered. Hehehe, you are worthy of being my prince. You always bring me unexpected surprises."
Suddenly, the blonde girl found that her projection was infected by a black mist, and then a terrible force was infiltrating towards her. Although the girl quickly cut off the passage, she knew that the other party still discovered her location.
Sure enough, not long after, the space he was in began to shake, and gravel began to fall from above. Finally, there was a loud bang, and a ray of light shone in, but was instantly covered by thick black fog.
"Bang!" The sound of something landing on the ground shook the entire ground.
"Ah...even his landing looks so handsome." The girl stared blankly at him as he slowly stood up after landing, excitement suddenly rising in her heart. Finally, was it finally time for her first meeting with His Majesty the King?
"I'm here on invitation, Miss Aika Satiao." Wang Chong thrust the Blade of the Ruined King in front of him, placed his hand on the hilt, and spoke calmly.
"You are finally here, my prince. If you don't come soon... I will go to Fuyuki City myself to let you know how rude it is to be late in front of a lady." The girl is Aika Sajo, one of the only two people in the entire Type-Moon who is connected to the root. She is known as the strongest human master.
At this moment, Sajo Aika has restrained her inappropriate expression and instead put on an intellectual and sweet smile. At first glance, she looks like a young lady who is secluded in the boudoir. Her temperament exudes gentleness and makes people want to approach and care for her.
However, Wang Chong knew only too well what twisted heart lay beneath this gentle exterior. Unfortunately, he hadn't yet fully cultivated Altria's favorability, or else he would have to trade her for a curry stick in the mall to use as a Noble Phantasm against Aige.
"So I'm here to solve the problem, Miss Sajo Aika. I admit that I was the one who led that idiot Araya Soren over there. If you want to use this to settle accounts, I can understand, and I'm willing to pay whatever price I can to resolve the misunderstanding between us. However, to go through all those heavy positions right from the start... It seems like you want to kill me, right?" Wang Chong said calmly, without revealing any emotional flaws.
"No, no, how could I want to kill His Royal Highness the Prince? Hehe, those insignificant tricks out there can't faze my Prince. Those are just to prevent mice from disturbing our date~" Sajo Aika opened her blue pupils, looking harmless.
"Oh? It seems like you know me very well?" Wang Chong asked tentatively after hearing Shatiao Aige's evaluation of him.
"Of course! No one in this world knows His Highness better than I do." As if finding her ultimate topic, Sajo Aika crossed her fingers and spoke excitedly, "From the moment I learned His Highness's name from the mind of that man who wanted to kill me, I've been searching for His Highness's deeds. Ah, a being beyond the reach of fate, this body is the original, nothing about it connected to this world. Everything about you is filled with the unknown, suddenly appearing in this world one day a month ago. Like an angel descended from heaven."
"After you came, all the developments in this world have become unclear, and it has changed the fate of many people. Only by your side can Ai Ge get more surprises. This is the feeling that only His Royal Highness the Prince can bring to Ai Ge. I think this must be love! Well, I fell in love with His Royal Highness the Prince at first sight~" Sajo Ai Ge showed an expression like a little girl, her face full of blushing.
"So, you like me very much?" Wang Chong raised his eyebrows, then revealed a hint of a sneer and said.
"Don't let the lady repeat it a second time. After all, I am shy too, Your Highness." Sajo Aika closed her eyes and said with a smile.
"You like me a lot? So your way of expressing your affection is to secretly activate a large magic array, right?" Wang Chong drew his sword and slammed it into the ground. Instantly, a recoil force deflected Wang Chong's broken blade, and the red array pattern instantly spread outward from the impact point, directly covering the entire ground, including Sha Tiao Aige. And the spread had not yet ended, extending to the walls and even the ceiling.
It could be said that the entire space was filled with the patterns of the magic array, and a huge magical reaction was beginning to rise. Wang Chong even felt a hint of the charm of magic from the Age of Gods.
"Hehehe...hahaha..." At this time, Sajo Aika's laughter also sounded strangely. Sajo Aika lowered her head and said, "I can't help it...because after seeing the back, I discovered the few shortcomings of His Highness the prince."
"Your Highness is really...really too fickle. I can tolerate any of Your Highness's shortcomings, but I just can't stand your love for someone else. But, Your Highness is such a promiscuous person. So, in order to prevent Your Highness from making this mistake again, I will lock Your Highness up and teach him a lesson... Hehehe~"
As she spoke, Sajo Aika's laughter rang out again. She held her face in her hands, putting on a typical sick smile. Then, she opened her arms and said, "I will get rid of all those messy women. They are not worthy of the prince's love. Only I am the prince's only existence... Come on, cheer for our happy future~ I will make you belong to me forever!"
The array pattern emitted a strong red light, and a huge amount of magical power swept over in an instant, as if Sha Tiao Aige was about to create something extraordinary.
"Smash-Valudo!"
A figure appeared from behind Wang Chong, and the next moment a golden light spread out from the world. Soon, the entire space and time, including the magic arrays that were about to react, were all stopped by time.
"Time has stopped." After saying this, all the black mist in Wang Chong's body instantly burst out, destroying all the formation patterns that were reacting. Then, Wang Chong slowly walked towards the other party step by step.
He didn't let the world get closer because he felt that the world was no more resilient than himself, and he didn't want the world to break and hurt him.
"Hah!" Wang Chong punched Shatiao Aige in the abdomen, then suddenly retracted his fist and looked at the other party vigilantly.
