"What if the Rider group is defeated tonight? Judging from that guy's execution ability, I'm afraid he won't let go of this opportunity." Mordred asked.
"It's okay. Like I said just now, from the moment his luck dropped below mine, Emiya Kiritsugu is no longer a threat to us. What's more valuable to me now is to recruit the Servant Jeanne d'Arc and the Servant Altria." Wang Chong said.
"My other self has no problem with this. You've already done so much with that brat. With Merlin and I fanning the flames, she'll soon understand what's truly valuable to her in this Holy Grail War and get back on track." Altria paused before adding, "However, as for that Ruler, it's a bit harder to say. She's not someone who can be easily persuaded, even if you were close before. But there's no doubt that you, host, deceived and betrayed her. I'm afraid this won't be so easily resolved."
"Yes, I understand. So it's not like I'm unprepared. I've also specifically warned you not to actually kill any Masters or Servants." Wang Chong nodded and said, "I understand Jeanne's beliefs and her mission in this Holy Grail War. But if her beliefs conflict with her mission, which side do you think she will choose?"
"Master...are you trying to tell her the truth about the Holy Grail?" Black Jeanne frowned slightly. She was the only one present who knew her other self best. She then said, "As Jeanne, she was a righteous and rigid person. She pursued the happiness of the people and protected those she wanted to protect, even risking her life for the cause."
"Yes, but as Ruler, she will take it as her responsibility to protect the Holy Grail War, upholding the rules and wielding her sword to prevent those from exploiting the Holy Grail War for evil." Wang Chong continued Black Jeanne's words, adding, "There seems to be no conflict between the two. Both strive for order and justice, and both possess noble moral qualities. Logically speaking, Jeanne is a very suitable Servant for Ruler."
"And the premise of all this is... the Holy Grail War is really worth protecting, right?" Semiramis also understood and said.
"Could you please explain your thoughts more clearly? You're beating around the bush and it's giving me a headache." At this time, classmate Xiao Mo started to raise his hand to ask questions, with a frown on his face as if he didn't understand what was going on.
"Little bastard, have you forgotten what the Holy Grail was like before it was cleaned up by the Master?" Altria (Alter), who always seemed particularly serious when torturing Mordred, continued:
"The Holy Grail War has been derailed since this very moment. It's a cursed object, not a wish-granting machine. If the Holy Grail War continues unchecked, it will ultimately bring nothing but disaster. Do you think such a cursed object, such a cursed war, is worth protecting and continuing?"
"So that's how it is." Now Mordred understood. Ruler was a Servant summoned to protect the Holy Grail War and prevent anyone from taking advantage of it to do evil. But if the Holy Grail War itself was evil, would Ruler still choose to take on his responsibilities?
"However, seeing is believing, especially since I've already lied. She might not believe me. Therefore, I need to provide her with sufficient evidence." Wang Chong paused, as if he had come up with an idea. He smiled and said, "Simply showing her the contents of the Holy Grail isn't enough. What do you think would happen if she experienced a disaster herself? For example, the Fuyuki Fire."
"Eh?" For a moment, all the servants present were stunned.
……
After hearing Wang Chong's ideas and arrangements, the Servants temporarily disbanded. Mordred walked away while complaining to Atalanta, "I've noticed that the Master is usually alright, but once he gets going, he's a real pain in the ass. My question is, the Master's luck has clearly surpassed Emiya Kiritsugu's, so why is he still alive? I really thought the Master was trying to be cautious, letting the other party's luck drop further before taking action, but I never expected he'd even take advantage of him. That's not how the Master would exploit people, is it?"
"Maybe it's a bit of both... Besides, although it looks very scary and dangerous, the Master still carefully considered the impact on the surroundings. Besides, the Holy Grail is in the Master's hands, are you still worried about failure?" Atalanta said.
"But when I think about it carefully, although I had a great time fighting my father in this Holy Grail War, I still had fewer opportunities to fight other strong people. And I feel that the Master alone is actually enough to control everyone. The Master's strength is really unfathomable." Mordred couldn't help but complain.
"Well, a very strong man... The child born will surely become a great hero." Atalanta said absentmindedly.
"?" Modred had an expression like a lobster seeing an electronic screen. No, sister, why are you suddenly upset when we were chatting so happily?
"Ha, the discussion is finally over. It was so boring... Master, can you please not hold this kind of meeting in the future? Just tell us directly what you want us to do. Isn't this delaying the evening blessing time?" Suddenly, the three Gorgon sisters unexpectedly passed by Modred and Atalanta. Euryale was yawning with an annoyed look.
"That's right, Euryale (me). But who makes him the Master? By the way, I remember my silly sister said something pretty good. We just need to follow the script given by the Master, but the Master has a lot of things to consider. I just hope that this Holy Grail War will end soon. It has already hindered the length of time I can connect with the Master." Stheno still maintained that elegant smile, talking about a very obscene topic.
"Woo woo..." Only little Medusa whimpered loudly as she listened to the fierce words of her two sisters.
"Don't call me stupid sister. If you apologize for us again on your own initiative, we will tie you up, feed you ten bottles of love potion, and then you will have no choice but to listen to us and the Master having sex." Yurielle said in a threatening tone.
"???" After hearing what the three sisters said, Mordred was even more confused. It seemed that the three sisters didn't care about the plan at all and only thought about having a secret meal at night.
"The three of them are just so-so. Humph, sooner or later I will prove that only those who give their all and consider the Master well are qualified to become the Master's most beloved Servant." At this moment, the voice of Black Jeanne d'Arc suddenly sounded from behind Mordred, startling Mordred.
"No... Have you only thought about these things throughout this whole process? What about the Holy Grail War?" Mordred couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph, that guy has been captured. This Holy Grail War is over for me a long time ago... But you reminded me that the Master also likes that guy. No, the battle of this true love war has just begun. I can lose to anyone, but I can't lose to that Joan of Arc. I have to go back to the house to study." Black Joan of Arc said, and hurriedly rushed in a certain direction, leaving behind a disheveled Mordred and an absent-minded Atalanta.
"Well, Mordred, what Jeanne d'Arc said is quite right. Studying is a very important thing. I'm going to go back and catch up on my study materials." As she spoke, Atalanta's face flushed, and then she quickly ran to her room.
"No? There isn't a single normal servant? Why are you all concerned about that kind of thing? Is it my problem?" Mordred looked at the servants who hurriedly ran back. This scene really surprised her.
"Little bastard, what are you doing with such a loud noise? Are you trying to sound the horn of rebellion again and want to take the Master away for yourself?" And the final blow from his father hit Mordred's back accurately.
"You...just be happy." Mordred realized how out of place he was in this team because he only liked fighting.
Chapter 291: It seems I have forgotten someone
"This is the situation. After I bring you back to the real world, you hide your father and let Hassan continue to monitor the situation in Fuyuki City. But don't get too close to Emiya Kiritsugu and the others for now. Of course, it's best to reveal even the slightest trace so that they realize you're still alive. Then, after Emiya Kiritsugu has dealt with the Rider group, you can attract their attention and rescue Waver at the same time. The specific plan..."
After sending the Servants back to their respective rooms, Wang Chong had Semiramis teleport Kotomine Kirei and Matō Kariya over. Wang Chong first arranged the next plan for Kotomine Kirei, then turned to Matō Kariya and instructed:
"Kariye, you've been working hard lately. You should stay in this small world for a while. Once this Holy Grail War is completely over, you can return to the Matou family. From now on, just focus on managing the Matou family's businesses. There's no need to get involved with the inside world anymore."
"Okay." Matou Kariya breathed a sigh of relief. From this moment on, he no longer had to worry about anything related to magic. Living a peaceful and ordinary life—perhaps this was the happiness Matou Kariya sought.
As for Sakura, Rin, and Aoi, he knew his parents would take good care of them. Furthermore, Rin and Sakura's talents in magic made him realize that he was destined to be different from them. Therefore, all that remained in Matou Kariya's heart were regret and blessings.
Anyway, under the guidance of his former servant Lancelot, he has decided to live a free and easy life for himself.
"Lure Emiya Kiritsugu to the old city, and mobilize the church's civilian forces in advance to successfully evacuate the people in that area?" Kotomine Kirei carefully considered the plan Wang Chong had described to him, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He not only understood, but also felt increasingly happy. He loved to see what the scene would be like when Emiya Kiritsugu's ideals were completely shattered.
After arranging the two people, Wang Chong asked them to go down and make some preparations first, especially Kotomine Kirei. He would bring Kotomine Kirei and Hassan's tribe to the real space later.
After seeing that almost everyone had left, Wang Chong wandered around the throne, looking at the somewhat tattered red carpet on the ground, wondering if the carpet's lucky charm was still effective.
"System, perform an epic 10-draw combo for me now and use my random item jar." Wang Chong said.
"Okay, the drawing is in progress, please wait..." The system displayed the lottery interface, and then a golden special effect appeared.
"Congratulations to the host, you have won the following items in ten consecutive draws: 1 Dimensional Mine (exclusive to Dimensional House), 1 Dimensional Soil (exclusive to Dimensional House), 1 Luxury Manor Building Card (exclusive to Dimensional House), Skills: Weakness, Skill: Clarity, Skill: Ghostly Shadows (Nightmare), Magic Resistance C-rank, Riding C-rank, Clairvoyance C-rank, Noble Phantasm: Heaven's Chain."
"Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the item from the item jar: Building Renovation Card."
"Host, the details of the item you drew are as follows:
[Dimensional Mine]: Automatic mining is available daily. The mine yields a variety of mineral resources and rare items, including certain rare resources and materials. The output depends on the currently bound alternate world.
[Dimensional Soil]: Plants grown in this soil have accelerated growth, with the rate of acceleration determined by the plant's rarity. The rarer the item, the lower the rate of acceleration, with a minimum guaranteed rate of 2x growth.
[Luxury Building Card]: Instantly build a luxurious manor on the land, fully furnished. The manor's environment not only improves overall comfort but also significantly boosts physical recovery, self-healing, and mental recovery. Even if you've had sex 30 times a night and your back is broken, just one hour of rest in the manor will restore you to peak condition.
[Weakness]: Weakens the selected target, reducing their movement and attack speed by 30%, their defense, and their damage by 40%. Cooldown: 210 seconds. Can only be used three times a day.
[Clarity]: Restores 50% of your total energy (such as magic, spiritual power, etc.), and restores 25% of the energy of nearby teammates within a certain range. Can only be used once per day.
[Haunting]: Reduces the vision range of all hostile targets and removes shared vision between them for 6 seconds. While active, dashes to any nearby target, dealing a certain amount of damage. Currently at Level 1, this ability can be upgraded to increase the dash range and damage, reaching a maximum of Level 5.
……
[Building Repair Card]: Allows large-scale renovation and repair of any building item.
As for the last three, there's no need to go into detail; their purpose is self-evident in their names. Clairvoyance and Riding, in particular, are the most useless and ineffective upgrades for Wang Chong. However, Wang Chong hadn't anticipated how he would draw such a Noble Phantasm.
Heaven's Lock? What a coincidence! Wang Chong was looking forward to the wonderful expression on Jin Shan's face when he took out this thing and fought him tomorrow.
"I feel like my luck isn't very good... Has my luck really improved? These card-drawing things don't seem to have significantly improved my overall strength. But it's not that these things are completely useless. Alas, my current strength is simply too strong, resulting in these improvements not being of much help to me." Wang Chong couldn't help but sigh.
"After all, the host's current strength is fully capable of dealing with the crisis. Besides, biting off more than you can chew. Host, don't you see how many skills you have accumulated now? Some skills have been eliminated and are rarely used. Am I right?" said the system.
"Rather than acquiring new skills to improve yourself, it might be faster to use villain points to upgrade those upgradeable skills. Master, your Ruined King system hasn't been upgraded for a long time. And the same goes for Dio's world stand. You can spend points to upgrade it properly." The system reminded.
"That's true... But overall, the most useful things right now are probably the Heavenly Chain, the three items related to the Dimensional House, and the building renovation card. Mines and soil are both good things. This way, I don't need to spend points to buy many magic materials in the mall. Relying directly on these two products is enough." Wang Chong said with a smile.
"But... why does the introduction to that manor look so strange? It feels like it's mixed with personal opinions. I say... System, do you really look down on my kidney ability?"
"Host, if the girl is strong, the man will have to hold on to the wall. You have more yin than yang here now. The system is also considering the host's happy future. How can it be said to be yin and yang?" The system said with a smile.
“Okay, to be honest, I still don’t know if this building renovation card can work on Semiramis’s Noble Phantasm. If it can be used, maybe I can directly help Semiramis restore her Noble Phantasm to its original state or even better.” Wang Chong still liked Semiramis’s Noble Phantasm very much and couldn’t bear to let it be scrapped here.
After thinking for a while, Wang Chong decided to wait until the manor was ready and everyone moved in before taking action against Semiramis's treasure.
"Let's go send Kotomine Kirei out first... Then we'll be done with tonight's affairs... Hiss... Why do I always feel like I've forgotten someone?" Wang Chong couldn't help but scratch his head, always feeling like he had forgotten something.
Chapter 292: Elquet's Resentment
"So...is this why you locked me in there for so long?!"
At this moment, a beautiful woman with short blond hair had a puffed-up face and an angry expression. Her beautiful red eyes were filled with resentment as she stared intently at a scumbag who had forgotten her, as if he had abandoned her in the end.
"Sorry, sorry, I really forgot. You know I have to be busy dealing with those battles later, so it will take some time, right?" Wang Chong was apologizing to the blonde beauty at this moment.
"I believe everyone else's words, but you... with your current strength, I don't think any of those guys could withstand a full-strength strike from you. I know just how strong you are."
The blonde woman before him was none other than the True Ancestor Princess Elquet, who had previously battled Wang Chong. Elquet had previously witnessed Wang Chong's true strength, so she knew that if the man before her simply wanted to end the battle, it wouldn't take this long.
Wang Chong also gave a wry smile. Not long ago, when Wang Chong had taken Kotomine Kirei and Hassan and the others out of the Dimensional Home and returned them to the real world, if Kotomine Kirei hadn't happened to ask, "How's that True Ancestor monster you fought earlier doing?" Wang Chong probably wouldn't have remembered that he'd imprisoned a powerful figure in a Master Ball.
"I hope the favorability hasn't dropped. But with my bond with Elquet, it shouldn't drop much below 79 points, but you never know."
Wang Chong thought so in his heart, and then he used the Eye of Sin to carefully check Elquet's favorability.
[Eye of Depravity: Elquet Brunstad's current favorability value: 85 points, Depravity value: 20%.]
"What's going on? Why didn't my favorability drop, but actually increased? Wait, why did my sinking value go up too?" Wang Chong was shocked. He had never imagined that after accidentally keeping Elquet locked up for so long, Elquet's favorability hadn't dropped, but had actually increased. Even stranger, he hadn't done anything to Elquet, yet his sinking value had actually gone up.
"System, does your Master Ball have a built-in training function?" Wang Chong immediately turned his suspicion to the Master Ball produced by the system.
"Host, if it is something improper, the system will mark it out in detail. After all, the system is eager to... cough cough cough, I mean, for things like this with special functions, the system will definitely mark them clearly for the host." The system felt that it almost let something slip, and coughed twice and laughed awkwardly.
"Since it's not a Master Ball, could it be that Elquet has a hidden masochistic attribute like Sajo Aika? Are all of you with the word 'Ai' in your names like this? Yeah, it seems so, and so does Mrs. Ellie. But that doesn't make sense... When I beat up Elquet earlier, my favorability did increase somewhat, but my depravity didn't increase at all."
Wang Chong clearly remembered that before he had placed Elquet in the Master Ball, Elquet's Depravity Value was completely zero. So the question was, how did this 20% Depravity Value appear?
"Hey, what are you thinking about? You've been in a daze for so long, are you still thinking about the fight in bed?" Suddenly, Elquet's voice interrupted Wang Chong's thoughts, and the content of the words made Wang Chong stunned. He couldn't help but say, "Fight in bed? What fight in bed?"
"That's what you did with those three females in that dark room. Did it sound that comfortable? Isn't this normal reproductive behavior?"
Upon hearing Wang Chong's question, Elquet began to reminisce thoughtfully. Not only was there no shyness or shame on his face, but he looked like a curious baby.
"Wait! How do you know about this?" Wang Chong instantly understood what Elquet was talking about and was very surprised at how the other party knew so much.
"That's what I saw directly from inside. Although I can't get out of that ball, I can see what's happening outside." After hearing Wang Chong's question, Elquet told Wang Chong directly without hiding anything.
"Wait a minute, system! How can we see the outside world from inside the Master Ball?" Wang Chong said immediately.
"This is a natural result. The Master Ball's external perspective can be arbitrarily selected within a radius of 1 meter with the sphere as the center. If the outside world cannot be observed from inside the Master Ball, how can it quickly enter combat mode and fight other Pokémon? This is also a humane design. Otherwise, Pokémon will stay in a small space all the time, unable to perceive the outside world. Over time, they will develop mental illnesses." said the system.
"What you said... makes sense." Wang Chong was speechless. If he had known earlier, he would have put the Pokémon Ball in the system space instead of carrying it with him.
"So, you know all those things?" Wang Chong took a deep breath and said.
"Hmm? You mean those wicked things you do secretly? You have a lot of bad ideas and thoughts. But they're just small things, and many of them are quite interesting. I like to see them." Elquet smiled and said, "As long as it doesn't violate the serious rules set by the True Ancestors, you can do whatever you want. I don't care about these things."
That's right. If Elquet really didn't like something he did, his favorability wouldn't have risen to 85 points, Wang Chong thought to himself.
"That's right! Speaking of things, there are indeed two things that I care about." Elquet clapped his hands.
"What's going on?" Wang Chong asked doubtfully.
"Gurgle—" Just as Wang Chong asked this question, a resounding sound reached his ears. Elquet smiled foolishly, rubbed his stomach, and said, "Hey, first of all, after the battle, I'm a little hungry, and you locked me up for so long without eating."
……
"Oh! Thank you so much! I'm starting!" Elquet devoured the delicious food from some late-night snack stalls in Japan. As Wang Chong watched Elquet savor the food, he activated his perception to the highest level. After all, it was still unclear whether Emiya Kiritsugu would appear nearby, so he had to be more vigilant.
"Speaking of which, Elquet. You disappeared for a long time before. Now that you appear on this land again, will it have any impact on you?"
Wang Chong was fully aware that Elquet, as the planet's sense of touch, was also the body chosen by the Earth's will to descend. Therefore, Wang Chong considered whether the Earth's will would later settle accounts with him if he abducted Elquet for a period of time.
"It doesn't matter. I'm just a little hungry." Elquet said after finishing the teppanyaki.
"What about the connection?"
"Link?...Ah, you mean the planet, right? It's still the same as before, there's no difference in usage. I just looked up some information." Elquet said.
"It seems that Gaia doesn't care about this matter... Is it because of the short time or for some other purpose? But speaking of it, could it be that after I become a True Ancestor and possess the True Ancestor's bloodline, Gaia will treat me as one of his own to some extent?" Wang Chong thought about it for a long time, but felt that he couldn't think of much, so he gave up.
"It doesn't matter. Let's resolve the Holy Grail War first. As for the matter of Gaia and Alaya, we can deal with it later. But after this Holy Grail War, it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity to gain villain points." Wang Chong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He really didn't want to kill these leeks who kept providing him with villain points.
But there was no other way. The Holy Grail War was bound to end sooner or later. And he really should challenge stronger opponents. The enemies at this stage were no match for him.
Wang Chong's mind was filled with such chaotic thoughts as time slowly slipped by. After eating for who knows how many dishes, Elquet finally filled her stomach. She patted her plump belly and said, "Ha, I'm full. Human food is always so full of novelty. I love it."
"I'm glad you like it. Let's go. Let's take a walk to digest the food, and then we'll go back." Wang Chong stood up and said.
Elquite nodded, stood up, stretched, and then happily took Wang Chong's hand and walked out. "Come on! I just saw something interesting. Let's go check it out."
Chapter 293: Elquet's Strange Logic in Wanting to Exercise
In the 90s, Japan's bubble economy collapsed, and the once-glamorous days of extravagance faded, leading to a long period of decline. The same was true of Fuyuki City's nightlife. While many nightclubs and barbecue stalls remained open even at night to make ends meet, Fuyuki City's nightlife no longer had the vibrant and lively atmosphere it once had.
There were relatively few people on the entire street, and the street seemed a bit quiet. This made Elquet, who always liked lively places, lose interest after walking around for a while.
Wang Chong let Elquet pull him along the entire time. Even though it was already past midnight, Wang Chong was still very happy to continue shopping with Elquet, just like a date. After all, this was a rare opportunity to improve Elquet's favor, and Wang Chong didn't want to miss it. Moreover, with Wang Chong's current physical condition and mental strength, even going without sleep for a week wouldn't be a big problem, let alone staying up all night shopping.
However, Wang Chong could also see that the streets were not as lively and bustling as he had imagined. After visiting several of the more interesting places in Elquet, Elquet had become somewhat boring.
"It seems like there's nothing fun to do here. Let's go back. Should we go back to the yard and then enter the small world, or can we go back directly from here?" Elquet turned his head and looked at Wang Chong and asked.
"Let's go back to the yard first."
The place where one exits the Dimension House is often tied to the place where one entered last time. If possible, Wang Chong would not want to enter the Dimension House from the street, so as to avoid appearing out of thin air when he comes out, causing unnecessary trouble.
"Then let's go together~" Elquet smiled, took Wang Chong's hand, and started walking.
"Although she kept talking about taking me to Millennium City at first, and she said it was all for my own good, after I forcefully detained her, she didn't seem to mention going back at all. And I don't know if it was an illusion, but after coming out this time, Elquet seemed to be more relaxed, as if some restraint had been completely removed."
