Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: The Holy Grail is Cheated On

As is well known, whether the Type-Moon World is chaotic or not, Gaia and Alaya decide. These two Counter Forces have been entangled on Earth for quite some time, neither yielding to the other. But now, a certain newcomer has set his sights on these two.

"Host, setting aside whether you can achieve this in such a short time. Assuming you can, if you dominate Gaia, aren't you afraid of being targeted by a certain Mercury big spider later? At that time, the Host won't have such strong power. Moreover, there are a bunch of transcendent big shots in this world, if you cause such a big commotion, I'm afraid..." the System couldn't help but remind him.

"? Are you awake, System? I've already dominated Gaia; don't you think I can make Gaia confuse the big spider? Besides, that big spider, obsessed with sleeping, won't wake up until it's time," Wang Chong shook his head and said, "But you're right about one thing: the transformation time is running out. I'm not confident I can dominate Gaia and Alaya in a short time. I don't even have absolute confidence in dominating these two with Ruinous Power. After all, cross-world power comparisons are inherently mystical; no one can say for sure."

"So what exactly do you plan to do, Host?" the System asked.

"Simple... I can't dominate Alaya, but the Throne of Heroes under its jurisdiction... it's fine if I snatch a few, right? Especially since there are ready-made tools here." Wang Chong's figure flickered, and he arrived at the outer courtyard of the Matou Family. Then, Wang Chong was seen inserting the Ruinous King Blade into the ground, continuously pouring a large amount of black mist into the soil.

"Host, are you thinking of—!?" The System immediately understood what Wang Chong was doing. The black mist and Ruinous Power entered the spiritual pulse branch of the Matou Family's land, thoroughly eroding and dominating this section of the branch. And the black mist and Ruinous Power did not stop there; they traced back along this spiritual pulse branch, beginning to assault the spiritual pulse underground Mount Enzo, where Liudong Temple is located.

"That's why I said, System, from the very beginning when I decided to use this card, I already planned to end this boring Holy Grail War," Wang Chong's lips curved. Did he really spend a card just to kill an old bug? That Broken King card would be too devalued. However, in terms of the current gains, Wang Chong still felt a bit of a loss, but considering it was just a time-limited transformation card, how to exploit bugs to retain more power and permanently strengthen himself was the most important thing.

"Ding—You have plundered the fruits of the Holy Grail battlefield, which the three great families yearned for. You have planned meticulously and quietly set the final outcome. The Masters of the Holy Grail War will completely become clowns before you, a behind-the-scenes manipulator, deeply hidden and unknown! Truly the demeanor of a great villain. Reward points: 1000 points! Current villain points: 3330 points!"

"System, you're on the right track." Wang Chong gave the System a thumbs-up. He liked it when the System was so sensible in giving him reward points.

"The Holy Grail, it's long been polluted by Angra Mainyu. Since it's already black, it doesn't hurt for me to add fuel to the fire and dye it green, does it?" With that, Wang Chong increased the power, pouring the endless black mist into the earth, thoroughly polluting and dominating the spiritual pulse, and beginning to infuse it into the great holy grail.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, the Evil of this World, hidden in the great holy grail, was awakened by this external force. Throughout human history, Angra Mainyu had never seen such a terrifying and domineering power, a power that seemed to not belong to this world at all. And the black mist was continuously dominating and assimilating all the pollution within the great holy grail.

"Who is it!"

Angra Mainyu never expected that he and his power would one day be counter-polluted by someone else. In his shock, he immediately began to probe the source of that power, to see who was behind it. So, Angra Mainyu, using the power in the Holy Grail that had not yet been assimilated, began to trace the source along this black mist. Soon, Angra Mainyu observed a man wearing a green crown, shrouded in black mist.

"What kind of fellow are you?" The moment he saw the other party's appearance, Angra Mainyu felt a hint of murderous intent. As long as this fellow in front of him was still human, he was confident he could eliminate him.

"I am your father."

"Whoosh—"

Angra Mainyu was slightly stunned. His only sensation was speed... unparalleled speed. By the time he noticed, a green long blade had already pierced his body, and a massive force twisted his form. Then, in Angra Mainyu's last moments of consciousness, only that gloomy face and a question about this person remained.

Where did he get such a cheap father? Well, Angra Mainyu actually didn't care about his own death. On the contrary, for such a powerful existence, he was more curious and amused. For a moment, he didn't take the other party's words as mere trash talk. However, as his soul completely returned, it seemed he wouldn't get that answer.

"Ding—You have killed the hidden villain behind the Holy Grail War—Angra Mainyu, the Evil of this World. Only the victor is qualified to sit on the throne of the great villain. A failed or even dead villain is meaningless. Congratulations, Host, on winning the villain's struggle. Reward points: 1000 points. Current points: 4330 points."

"I finally get it. As long as it's a high-level villain or an important character, it will reward a large number of villain points, right?" Wang Chong pulled out his sword and looked at the black mud on the ground, which was already enveloped and swallowed by his black mist. From this moment on, the great holy grail was completely filled with Wang Chong's Ruinous Power, signifying that the great holy grail had completely become Wang Chong's possession, controlled by Wang Chong.

"Yes, but it's also because the Host killed the opponent, which is why there's such a large reward. Because after killing them, the Host can no longer continuously gain points from them," the System prompted.

"Oh ~ I see. In other words, it's the same principle as raising sheep. Whether to shear the wool or slaughter the sheep, that is indeed a science." A glimmer of light appeared in Wang Chong's eyes. He had already begun to think about how to earn more villain points to strengthen himself.

"Host, I've observed that there's still some residual malice and ill will in the great holy grail. You seem to have intentionally preserved these. What do you plan to use them for?" the System asked.

"Nothing much, just to use this aggregation of malice to sculpt a figurine," Wang Chong said with a smile.

"Sculpt a figurine?"

"Last minute... I'll use my Ruinous Power to supply the magical energy, and with Angra Mainyu's residual body as a medium, I'll perform a random Servant summoning independent of the Holy Grail War. I'll summon as many as I can." Wang Chong didn't use the summoning card the System gave him, but after he eliminated and dominated the old bug, he had already learned how to perform Servant summoning from the old bug.

Wang Chong began to chant. Since Ruinous Power supplied the great holy grail with magical energy, Wang Chong could now summon Servants independently of the Holy Grail War. As the black mist continuously poured in, three somewhat petite figures appeared in the light of the entire Heroic Spirit formation. Then, three voices were heard.

"Heh heh. To be able to make a goddess manifest, what an interesting but pitiable person. What is your name?"

"I am Euryale. Hmm, that's right, I'm a 'Goddess'! Since life is so short, hurry up and find some fun for me."

"Manifesting as a Lancer. True Name, Medusa. Please treat me well."

"??? What the hell?!" After hearing these three voices, Wang Chong felt numb. Wang Chong was still a bit disbelieving and quickly made the light of the Heroic Spirit formation dissipate. As a result, no miracle was born. Wang Chong immediately saw the three purple-haired girls with various expressions.

"What kind of combined summon is this? Summoning these three sisters at once for me? Is this some kind of hot-blooded combo skill?" Wang Chong couldn't help but complain. Although he understood that random Servant summoning could indeed cause problems, he thought that since it was summoned using the aggregated malice of the Evil of this World as a medium, it should at least randomly summon a powerful anti-heroic Servant. How could it bring over these three Servants who seemed completely unrelated?
