The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

"Ding—your loyal servant Hisau Maiya has killed Tōsaka Tokiomi, rewarding 800 Villain Points. Congratulations to the host, who secretly plotted and successfully used Emiya Kiritsugu to trap Tōsaka Tokiomi, effortlessly allowing Tōsaka Tokiomi to return to his rightful fate. 1000 Villain Points are awarded. You have absorbed Tōsaka Tokiomi's luck and refined it, increasing your luck. Current Villain Points: 8650."

"Because Emiya Kiritsugu indirectly killed Tōsaka Tokiomi, which was inconsistent with the original destiny, and subdued the villain Gilgamesh, he was contaminated by the villain's karma. The protagonist's luck further declined and continued to deteriorate until the contract with Gilgamesh was terminated."

Two system notification sounds rang out, and Wang Chong looked at his villain points with satisfaction. He suddenly had more than enough points, and he could upgrade his skills appropriately.

"System, upgrade all those B-level skills for me." Wang Chong said.

"Okay, the corresponding skill points have been redeemed. Your skills: Bravery, Leadership, Military Strategy, Emperor's Privilege, and Heroic Style have all been upgraded to A-level. Each skill upgrade requires 1000 points, for a total of 5000 villain points. The current villain points are: 3650 points." The system reminded.

In an instant, Wang Chong felt a constant surge of power filling his body. He felt his overall strength increase by at least half, a significant improvement. Even now, his clone's strength surpassed 80% of his previous strength.

"Now Ai Ge has been subdued by me, and Bai Ji is trapped in the Poké Ball and cannot come out. Not only have the two variables affecting me disappeared, but my luck has also been further improved. I have definitely become the protagonist." Wang Chong felt the mysterious feeling brought by the improvement of his luck and thought to himself.

"On the contrary, Emiya Kiritsugu's luck had already been steadily diminishing due to the cursed gold. And now, because he's altered his own destiny and joined forces with Gilgamesh, his luck has been eroded by the villain's karma, causing it to decline even further. It seems that if I kill Emiya Kiritsugu, I'll hardly be rejected by the world anymore."

Chapter 260: The Shy King of Daimao

Previously, Wang Chong had been practicing the Qi-gazing technique, comprehending the principles of destiny, while simultaneously asking the system for effective methods to reduce the protagonist's destiny. Wang Chong concluded that the key to reducing the protagonist's destiny was to disrupt their original destiny. The more the original destiny was deviated, the more the opponent's destiny would be significantly reduced.

Among the most serious ways of deviation, changing the protagonist's original interpersonal network is the most effective and intuitive. For example, all the ties that should have belonged to the protagonist, such as partners, lovers, partners, and teammates, are severed.

And this is exactly what Wang Chong has been doing. Kiritsugu's Heroic Spirit Servant Artoria, Kiritsugu's family and companions - Irisviel, Illya and Hisau Maiya, all of these people have now severed their ties with Kiritsugu Emiya under Wang Chong's calculations and joined Wang Chong's camp.

After all, these people also have a lot of luck accumulated in them. Every time they come, they will give back a portion of luck to the protagonist. And conversely, every time they leave, they will naturally take over a portion of luck.

Besides plundering the protagonist's Luck-bearing companions, which can deprive them of their Luck, there's another way to alter their relationships and deal a significant blow to their Luck: by binding the protagonist's otherwise irreconcilable villains together as allies. This will cause the opposing parties to deplete each other's Luck. Because they're destined to fight to the death, their Luck naturally clashes and counteracts.

Not to mention, being involved in the karma of a villain is itself polluting your own luck.

Wang Chong immediately thought of Kotomine Kirei, but upon closer consideration, it seemed unrealistic to have Kotomine Kirei and Emiya Kiritsugu team up for a plan. The antagonism between the two was too strong, and coupled with the existing feud between them, without a good entry point, it would likely be impossible to implement.

However, Wang Chong quickly thought of another lower-ranked alternative—Gilgamesh. And didn't Emiya Kiritsugu, who had no Heroic Spirits, surely wouldn't reject this Servant? For this very reason, he had even used his power beyond the heavens last night to influence the Servant who had taken Emiya Kiritsugu away. Not only had he instilled a plan to subdue Gilgamesh, but he had also taught him the method of plundering the Command Seals.

Of course, Wang Chong had the other party mistakenly believe that this extra knowledge was instilled into him by the restraining force, whether it was the spell in John 4:24 or his self-proclaimed inherent skill of Sophistry B-level.

"Gilgamesh has become Emiya Kiritsugu's Servant... Isn't this a bit dangerous?" At this time, Semiramis's voice entered Wang Chong's mind.

"Don't worry, I understand Emiya Kiritsugu and I understand Gilgamesh. Not only will these two not join forces, but they will only hinder each other. If it weren't for the bunch of Command Seals I designed for Emiya Kiritsugu, and the method I instilled in the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu to stabilize Gilgamesh, I'm afraid they would have started fighting just now." Wang Chong said with a smile.

"No... I'm just worried about Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm. Once that anti-world Noble Phantasm is activated, I'm afraid even my Hanging Gardens won't be able to withstand it. After all, this is something I have to be on guard against." Semiramis said worriedly.

"Don't worry. Knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle. You should have seen how Atalanta and Mordred fought Gilgamesh just now. They were both extremely fast, making it impossible for Gilgamesh to draw his sword and activate it immediately. Mordred, in particular, was staring at Gilgamesh's elbow the entire time."

"Furthermore, in my world, his Sword of Separation is useless. I might have been wary of his Noble Phantasm before, but since I gained the power to stop time, the Sword of Separation no longer poses a threat to me."

"If it really doesn't work, I still have a final means to protect all of you. Otherwise, why would I design a plan to temporarily withdraw?" Wang Chong said.

After hearing Wang Chong's explanation, Semiramis naturally felt more at ease. She then continued, "So, is it time to arrange the interview?"

"Well, it's time for the next group of masters to leave. I will bring Artoria and the others to the scene to watch this interesting show." After Wang Chong finished speaking, he focused his consciousness on the reality before him.

"I feel... dizzy." At this time, Artoria finally woke up from her brief drowsiness, and the effect of the love potion in her mind finally disappeared after repeated exercises.

"Knight King." Wang Chong placed the cleaned clothes in front of Artoria.

"Oh... thank you, thank you." At this time, Artoria also recalled the previous lewd scenes, her face flushed, and she stammered for a moment, not knowing what to say.

After all, Altria's favorability had reached 80 points, which meant she was already falling in love with the king. Altria was also new to the world, and the change in their relationship was a bit difficult for her to adjust to.

Fortunately, Wang Chong was already an expert in this area. He gently helped Altria put on her clothes and held her in his arms, saying softly, "Knight King, I took advantage of this matter after all. But the matter is done, and I cannot ignore it. I will take responsibility for it."

"Mr. Wang Chong... you don't have to be so. I'm just a Servant... and we're not from the same era... there's no future for us." Upon hearing Wang Chong's words, Artoria felt a warming sensation. After all, what woman wouldn't want a responsible man for her partner? But ultimately, her rationality as a king forced her to decline the offer.

Artoria knew very well that after this Holy Grail War, she would eventually return to the Sword Hill.

"I know... but even if it's only for a short time, I really hope that you, the Knight King, will reciprocate this feeling. Let's just think of it as a wonderful dream we've had together. Let's complete this beautiful dream together, isn't that good?" Wang Chong said.

It must be said that Wang Chong's words were quite romantic, and for a moment, Altria's heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Dream?" Artoria murmured.

"How is it, Knight King?" Wang Chong asked again.

"Are you still calling me the King of Knights? Haven't I already... told you my name?" Altria couldn't help but lower her head, a hint of shyness appearing on her face.

"Then I should call you Artoria? Or Leah? Lily?" Wang Chong chuckled and hugged Artoria tightly, saying.

"Wow...you'd better call me by my full name or Saber. Leah or something like that...it feels too shy. As for Lily...it feels like her old nickname, which is also weird." After hearing Wang Chong's name, Altria became even more shy.

"Really? I think it's pretty good, huh? But if you're shy... then when we're around outsiders, I'll call you by your full name or Saber. When we're not around, I'll call you Leah. How about that?"

After hearing Wang Chong's words, Artoria finally nodded, agreeing with Wang Chong's way of addressing her.

"Mr. Wang Chong is really good at coaxing girls." At this moment, a faint voice came from behind Wang Chong and Altria. Because of this voice, Altria slowly remembered that she was not alone in the room. Suddenly, she felt so embarrassed that she felt like steam was coming out of her head.

Wang Chong also turned around and said with a smile, "Leticia, you woke up first this time?"

"How come Mr. Wang Chong always guesses it so quickly? It's really boring..." Leticia said helplessly.

Wang Chong simply smiled, offering no explanation. In his own eyes, Leticia and Jeanne had many different personalities. Leticia's tone of voice was more lively, which suited her age as a 16-year-old high school student. Furthermore, their movements and habits differed, making it easy to tell them apart with just a little attention.

What's more... Leticia and Joan of Arc use different respectful titles for themselves. Joan of Arc is used to calling herself "Sir", while Leticia is used to calling herself "Mr."

"How is Joan of Arc now?" Wang Chong asked.

"As for Lady Joan of Arc, she seems to be a little too tired this time, so she is resting deep inside her body for the time being. Of course, if I encounter any crisis, she will take over this body again." After explaining, Leticia propped herself up and sat up. Of course, out of shyness and being stared at, Leticia still covered her key parts with her hands.

"Well... you should give me my clothes too. Also, I did that kind of thing, so whether it's me or Lady Jeanne... why don't you say something to comfort us?" Leticia slowly stretched out her hand and said with a puffed face.

Chapter 261: Hugging Left and Right, and Being Hugged

"Of course, I won't be partial." Wang Chong used the black mist to bring Leticia's clean clothes, placed them in his hands, and then personally handed them to Leticia.

Leticia simply put on her clothes, glanced at Wang Chong's free left hand, which had just handed her the clothes, and without hesitation, moved closer. Wang Chong also glanced at Leticia with a bit of surprise at the more proactive one, but he still skillfully took her left hand and pulled her into his arms.

"I thought you, Leticia..."

"I'm not a powerful and noble king like the Knight King, nor am I a holy and great hero like Jeanne d'Arc. I'm just an ordinary girl. As someone like me, I'm already very satisfied to have earned Mr. Wang Chong's favor... After all, I was the one who fell in love with him first."

Leticia leaned into Wang Chong's arms, expressing her feelings, her tone hinting at a lack of confidence and compromise. Wang Chong nodded slightly. He was well aware that before entering this room... no, rather, even before, Leticia's favorability had already surpassed Jeanne's, reaching 80 points, representing a high level of affection.

This was the real reason why Leticia allowed Jeanne to exercise with her. In fact, after Jeanne finished an exercise, Leticia took over and took the initiative to have sex with Wang Chong.

Now, after this transformation, Leticia's favorability rating had reached a staggering 90 points. In a sense, Leticia trusted Wang Chong almost unconditionally. Furthermore, Leticia's somewhat conservative outlook made her quite loyal in love. She felt that the moment she gave her body to Wang Chong, she was essentially committed to him for the rest of her life.

Wang Chong was not only formidable, but also meticulously protected everyone in every conflict, safeguarding the interests of those around him. Leticia observed all of this. Perhaps it was the trifecta of their status disparity, their admiration for a powerful hero, and the established reality that led to this unexpected outcome.

"Don't say that, Letitia. You have your own special qualities. Your energy and initiative, as well as the courage you displayed in choosing to carry Jeanne d'Arc and throw yourself into this Holy Grail War without hesitation, are all your characteristics. You are a good girl, no worse than anyone else. Isn't that why I can recognize you so clearly time and time again?"

Wang Chong gently stroked Leticia's head, then let her lean on his shoulder and said.

"Mr. Wang Chong... you might as well say that Miss Jeanne is so special. I don't look like her at all, so she recognizes me every day. I... I'm not that good. You're just trying to tease me again." Leticia's heart sweetened. She was certainly happy to hear that she was special in the eyes of someone she loved, but she was more inclined to believe that Wang Chong was just teasing her. She was still very aware of the gap between herself and those two famous figures in history.

"No, Miss Leticia. You also have your charm, there is no need to belittle yourself. Everyone is unique, especially when it comes to love, there is no distinction between high and low." At this time, Artoria on the side suddenly spoke.

"See, even Leah said so. I'm not kidding you." Wang Chong said with a smile.

"This... I was worried, Miss Saber, whether you would mind." Leticia said somewhat flattered.

"How could that be? You and Mr. Wang Chong are the people of this era. Jeanne and I are, after all, just shadows of the past. Miss Leticia, it is destined that you, Mr. Wang Chong, will accompany him for the rest of his life."

Altria spoke slowly, a gentle smile playing on her lips. Altria had already clearly considered her attitude towards this fleeting romance during Wang Chong's recent conversation with Leticia. She wouldn't deny her feelings, but she also hoped the person she was attracted to would find a loving companion to spend their lives with. And Leticia was undoubtedly the best choice.

"...Thank you, Miss Saber." Leticia naturally understood what Artoria meant, and said as she looked at Artoria with a little excitement and gratitude.

Wang Chong clearly understood Altria's meaning, and a touch of emotion and shame rose within him. However, the slight guilt he felt for having deceived her was quickly suppressed. Having already decided to embark on this unorthodox path, he would persevere.

Whether they were hypocritical or self-deceiving, if they were sincere to him, he would give them the happiness they deserved. He would not mistreat those who were willing to follow him.

"Um... am I waking up at the wrong time?" At this moment, another timid voice rang out. Wang Chong wasn't surprised, but both Artoria and Leticia were startled. They were clearly so absorbed in their own affairs that they had forgotten about the rather awkward presence of Irisviel.

After all, in their subconscious minds, Irisviel, already a married woman, probably had no feelings for the king, right? After all, Irisviel had only just severed her relationship with Emiya Kiritsugu; it wasn't likely she'd be able to seamlessly transition so quickly, was it? They were more inclined to believe that Irisviel had simply made the sacrifice to fight the alien Servant and save her daughter... after all, that's what she'd said not long ago.

However, the truth is often beyond one's expectations. Wang Chong turned around and calmly said the famous saying: "No, you woke up at the right time."

The two women were stunned when they heard this. Then they saw Irisviel, though blushing, crawl over step by step, then hug Wang Chong's back. Although Irisviel remained silent, her every move proved too much.

"Eri...when did you come?" Obviously, the most surprised person here was naturally Altria.

"Perhaps it was when I was gradually separating from Emiya Kiritsugu... Or perhaps it was because Mr. Wang Chong had always taken such good care of me... Of course, it could also be because of this actual relationship. After all, if we successfully survive this Holy Grail War, I'll always have to continue to take care of Illya and make plans for the future, right?"

Irisviel gave a wry smile, not sure if she was explaining this to Artoria or herself. She hadn't known when Wang Chong had completely taken over her heart. Whether physically or mentally, she was afraid she couldn't leave him.

"I'm sorry, Saber. Did I...make you look down on me?" Irisviel said with a wry smile.

"No... how could that be?" Artoria understood the reason. Indeed, if Emiya Kiritsugu had to be eliminated in this Holy Grail War, then Irisviel, having lost her family's protection, would be left alone to raise her child, Illya. This would be too much for Irisviel, already unworldly. Relying on Wang Chong was indeed Irisviel's best option.

Wang Chong has always taken good care of Irisviel. The fact that Irisviel was able to completely sever her relationship with Emiya Kiritsugu may have a lot to do with Irisviel falling in love with Wang Chong.

Furthermore, Artoria already had a very close relationship with Irisviel, and after carefully weighing the pros and cons, she had no choice but to admit that Wang Chong was indeed a good match for Irisviel. Rather, no matter who Irisviel and her daughter were entrusted to, Artoria felt more at ease than leaving them with Wang Chong.

As for Leticia, her thoughts were similar to Altria's. She was compassionate by nature, so naturally she didn't want to see Irisviel wandering around alone with her daughter.

And so, the three of them reached an astonishing tacit understanding, mutually acknowledging each other's existence. Wang Chong naturally embraced them, but he also knew that this was only temporary. After all, truth would sooner or later be revealed to the three of them as the mastermind behind the conspiracy. Acting couldn't last forever; sooner or later, the three of them would have to live with their own Servants.

"Only when they are completely convinced physically and mentally can I truly reveal the truth." Wang Chong already had a plan in mind, and he was confident that he could successfully make the three of them accept the truth.

Chapter 262: Diarmait's Disaster

"What a ridiculous experience. But why does this door have the aura of a round table..."

At this moment, the four of them had already put on their clothes and successfully opened the previously tightly closed door and walked out. Artoria, on the other hand, looked at the door with a round table-like aura with curiosity.

"Maybe it's related to Mordred. After all, summoning a corresponding servant requires a related possession. Maybe they just happen to have items related to the Knights of the Round Table." Wang Chong said.

"Where should we go next, Mr. Wang Chong? Should we continue searching like before? Or what?" Leticia asked.

"Let's continue. We can't let the trap room incident hold us back. I suspect that rooms like the one we just experienced are most likely designed for us. Therefore, there can't be too many rooms like this. After all, once they are cracked, even if more similar rooms come later, they will only serve to delay time." Wang Chong said.

After hearing Wang Chong's suggestion, the women all nodded. Now, after that relationship, Wang Chong had become their backbone. So, everyone followed Wang Chong up the stairs, preparing to lead to the outside world and continue forward.

Irisviel, following behind the others, felt a mixture of emotions. On the one hand, she had proven her change of heart in front of everyone with her actions. Even though she had earned their understanding, she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

Secondly, she was naturally still somewhat apprehensive about the future. After all, Irisviel wasn't sure if her choice had changed the future. As for the outcome, she and the others hadn't been trapped in that room forever, which must have meant they had begun to stray from their original future direction.

"I'm afraid we'll know the outcome of everything later... Illya, wait for mom." Irisviel took a deep breath. She had already made up her mind to make a change, and there was no turning back.

"Sure enough...something's not right!" Wang Chong suddenly stopped, his face becoming serious as he spoke.

"Huh? What happened?" After hearing the voice in reality, Irisviel's attention returned to reality and she couldn't help but ask.

"Judging from the distance we came in, we should have already exited the stairs leading underground and returned to the outer area on the top level." Wang Chong said with a sullen face, pointing forward. "But now we're still on these stairs, and it looks like we have a long way to go. This is not the stairs we came from."

"This...how could this happen? Was what we experienced before an illusion? Or are we now trapped in a maze?" Leticia asked in surprise.

"That's not the case. The path we just took was explored by Mr. Wang Chong's black fog. It couldn't be an illusion. Instead, when we opened the door and came out, we were teleported to another staircase. It's just that the two staircases are of the same style, so we didn't notice it at first. It can be said to be a very sophisticated spatial magic."

Altria noticed something, turned around and looked in the direction of the stairs, and said.

"This completely confirms one thing. That is, we... no, it should be said that all the masters and servants who enter this castle are under the surveillance of Semiramis, the owner of the Noble Phantasm. That's why she can so easily mobilize magic, using the opening and closing of doors as a mechanism, along with many underground rooms. As long as she wants, she can choose the direction we go at will and guide us to the room she wants us to go." Wang Chong said slowly.

"In other words... the reason we appeared in the outside world was also the result of her instigation and calculation, and her purpose was to lock us in the trap room just now?" Alice followed Wang Chong's train of thought and said involuntarily.

"Well, I think she probably took advantage of your eagerness to find your daughter, Madam, and deliberately placed clues related to Illya in the room, forcing us to come in and check without paying attention, and eventually we were successfully locked in the room. Finally, she set up such rules to prevent us from coming out." Wang Chong nodded and added.

"What a despicable guy... Now that you see that we have overcome the obstacles in our hearts and achieved those rules, and can no longer trap us, you teleport us back to the underground maze?" Artoria couldn't help but say angrily.

"So, are we going to face those trap rooms again?" asked Leticia.

"Don't worry. It seems that after each trap room is cracked, it will not appear in front of us again. It is very likely that those trap rooms are one-time products. In that case, as long as we keep clearing those traps, we will not be able to escape from the underground maze in the end, but at least we will meet other masters and servants. Then we can join forces to break through this underground maze." After Wang Chong finished speaking, he strode forward.

Seeing this, the three women finally caught up with Wang Chong and hurried forward.

……

Elsewhere, the room was filled with the clashing of swords, punctuated by the occasional whistling sound of swords piercing the air. A heroic man with a teardrop-marked face brandished a red spear, forming a dense, impenetrable circle of shadows, fending off a petite figure's relentless slashing, creating a purple moon-like disc. In the distance, a petite, beautiful goddess, drawing a bow and arrow, aimed at the man, continuously firing volleys of light, forcing him to reveal a flaw.

The two warring parties were the noble warrior Diarmait on one side and Euryale, the second and third Gorgon sisters, Medusa, on the other.

Diarmait was now panting heavily, in a state of terrible condition. Even with his two lances, he was somewhat powerless against the attacks of two Servants. Now, he only had a single red spear, and after a long battle, he was already quite tired and in poor condition. Now, facing the attack of two Servants who were waiting for the opportunity, he was lucky to have escaped defeat in such a short time.

Especially since Diarmait has Sora behind him, he will not allow the other party to harm his lord's wife. Even if it costs his life, he will protect her until the last moment.

As for Little Medusa and Euryale, they were not in a hurry. They never killed or killed Diarmait from the beginning to the end. They were just slowly consuming Diarmait's strength.

"If this continues, defeat is inevitable. No... I must fight my way out for Sora. Even if it means sacrificing my body and my life!" Diarmuid was very clear about the situation at hand. He made up his mind and decided not to attack anymore, but to fight to the death!

"Huh, you really are as pitiful as a dog that has lost its home." However, at this moment, an arrogant voice resounded throughout the room.

"Stupid sister! Get out of the way!" Yurielle, perceiving the murderous intent, immediately warned and fired a stray arrow in a certain direction. Upon hearing this, Little Medusa also stopped in her tracks and instantly retreated!

"Boom boom boom!"
