Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

"You'd better hurry. My finger is itching to let this arrow fly."

Aika narrowed her eyes, annoyed by his tone. Still, she knew her options were limited so she did not react.

"No," she shook her head. "It's more complicated than that."

"Start explaining... or else I'll really kill you," he warned, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

Aika's brow twitched with frustration. She didn't want to reveal this information, but she was cornered.

She had barely managed to hold on after the earlier attack. If he released that arrow, the entire place would collapse, taking her with it.

Although she appeared okay , her real self was severely weakened by his attacks. It was almost a miracle she had survived this long.

"I will tell you… but let's talk outside,"

In an instant, he found himself back on the train, no longer in his angel form.

He was in the same position he had been in before. The sudden shift felt disorienting and surreal.

'System, what exactly happened?'.

[System: Not enough data]

'So even you don't know,' he sighed before turning his attention.

"Talk," he said, breaking the silence between them.

Aika, now in Seki's body, sighed deeply and sat down on the bed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Her powers were no match for his divine energy, while his attacks where all deadly and fatal to her.

With countless ways to destroy her, she knew there was nothing she could do but surrender.

If she had never discovered his connection to her mother, she would have fought to the bitter end.

But now, reuniting with her mother was her priority.

To ensure her survival, she would be willing to cooperate with him, even if it meant acting like an ally.

"I trapped you in my dream," she admitted.

Confusion crossed Reign's face as he thought, 'How did she do that? I thought I had some mental defenses in place .'

[System: The dream is related to souls rather than the mind. ]

'Wait so does it mean that my soul is weaker than her ?'

[System: Not enough data]

Reign sighed, noticing that his system was also stumped by Aika.

This indicated that she was on a level beyond regular understanding, like Meta-humans.

The system couldn't provide more concrete information because of this.

However—

One thing became clear during their conversation: he had just experienced a new kind of attack that even his system couldn't detect in time.

A different type of power, one that was completely foreign to him and the system .

He started to realize that the more he faced different type of opponents, the less reliable his system had become in terms of providing it information.

This brought mixed feelings.

On one hand, he felt relieved that his system wasn't as all-powerful as he had originally thought, meaning he might still be able to tame in the worst case scenario.

On the other hand, he felt uneasy knowing there were powers in this world that even his system couldn't explain.

If he became too complacent, he might find himself in a dangerous situation where no amount of cheat system could help him.

He turned his attention towards Aika.

She remained calm, sitting on the bed, clearly no longer interested in continuing the fight after knowing that he knew her mother.

He wasn't lying about that. However, their relationship was more of a master and servant than a partnership.

'Well, if I can make her more cooperative, then there's no need to fix the misunderstanding ,'

"Can you explain more about how you pulled it off?" he asked

"I can't really explain it in details," she replied softly, her voice lacking any sign of deception.

Despite sensing some truth in her words, Reign wasn't about to let her evade the question.

His curiosity was burning inside him. He was determined to understand how she wielded such ability and was eager to see if he could use something similar.

His thirst for more power was insatiable; it was simply part of who he was.

"I'm telling you the truth, I really don't know,"

"Then do it again," he ordered, his tone firm. "This time, do it slowly so I can see how it's done."

Aika's eyes narrowed slightly, her expression shifting from casual to cautious.

"Before I show you again, you need to make me a promise," she said, her voice taking on a serious tone.

"What is it ?"

"Will you really tell my mother's whereabouts? I need to know."

"Of course, I don't see any benefit in hiding her location from you. Just do it," Reign responded.

Hearing his reassurance, Aika got up and readied herself to use her power again.

Though she was exhausted from their earlier fight, she could still manage a brief demonstration of her ability.

'System, make sure to take in everything,' Reign commanded.

He focused all his senses to the maximum, determined not to be caught off guard again.

Now that he knew what was coming, he could analyze the situation more thoroughly.

"Jigoku!"

Aika's voice rang out, and her shadow exploded from all direction.

Reign's senses were pushed to their limits, and everything slowed down. He noticed the shadow approaching him, but something felt off.

Instead of the room being covered by the shadow, it seemed as if his vision was growing darker, as though what he saw was confined only to his own eyes.

His suspicion was confirmed when he looked at Aika's eyes. They were slowly turning darker, as if ink was being poured over them, gradually shading them black.

When his vision cleared, he found himself back in the rice field.

Moments later, the scene shifted again, and he was back on the cabin.

"Satisfied?" she asked.

Reign stayed silent, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of what had just happened.

'System, give me your findings?' he asked.

[System: It's an isolated Domain]

'Is that even possible ?'

[System: Previous data suggested otherwise, but current observations show that her domain operates differently. Instead of covering a physical area, her domain affects the target soul directly, bypassing physical contact.]
