Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

To address all the weaknesses, he thought carefully about how to layer his abilities.

Each negation on its own had its flaws—removing friction caused loss of control, negating gravity made movement directionless, and canceling air resistance could destabilize his body at high speeds.

He needed to create a balance that accounted for these shortcomings.

But that wasn't a problem for him. With the system at his disposal, he could design any ability he needed, adapt to any situation.

In terms of functionality and adaptability, he was the perfect meta-human. No one else could compete with his level of versatility.

He formulated a plan. Instead of applying the negations universally, he'd make them conditional and localized.

For example, he could negate friction only when accelerating, then reinstate it to regain control when slowing down.

Similarly, gravity negation could be toggled, allowing him to float or leap but still stay anchored when necessary.

Air resistance could be reduced just enough to prevent drag without destabilizing his body.

"System, can I make these negations adaptive? I want them to activate and deactivate based on the situation," he instructed, his mind racing with possibilities.

[System: Affirmative, Host. Creating an adaptive negation abilities will require additional Void Points consumption but will significantly enhance functionality.]

"Fine. Use what's needed," he replied without hesitation. A more reliable power was worth the cost.

The system began calculating, and he visualized how the adaptive negations would work in many situation.

He imagined flying at high speed. Then, in an instant, he would stop.

Friction would kick back in. The result would be a massive sonic boom, triggering an explosive reaction from the clash of molecules—much like the sudden compression of air when a plane breaks the sound barrier, but on an even greater scale.

"Let's add another layer," he muttered, realizing one more potential flaw.

Momentum could still pose a problem, especially when changing directions quickly.

"System, can we negate inertia too? Just enough to let me shift directions without losing control."

[Affirmative. Combining friction, gravity, air resistance, and inertia negations into a single adaptive framework. Processing...]

[Adaptive Negation Framework complete. Would you like to test the new skill?]

Reign realized that testing the skill in his cramped chamber was too risky.

"System, before I head out, I need a way to protect myself from the miasma and similar hazards. Something that can shield me in any environment. What's the best law to negate for creating a barrier?"

[System: Suggesting Spatial Force Negation. This law will create a localized field around the Host that negates selective external forces entering its radius.

[The barrier will act as a dynamic shield, adapting to threats in real-time while allowing the Host to breathe air and absorb light. This ensures the Host is neither suffocated nor blinded while maintaining protection.]

Reign smirked. "Spatial Force Negation, huh? Sounds like exactly what I need. Create the skill."

[System: Affirmative. Constructing skill: Adaptive Spatial Force Negation.]

A moment later, the system confirmed the skill was ready.

"Good," Reign nodded in satisfaction. "Activate it now. Let's see how well this works in real-world conditions."

The invisible dome materialized around him again, glowing faintly at the edges. It adjusted seamlessly to his movements, flowing like an extension of his body.

He took a deep breath and felt the purified air within, crisp and clean. Looking around, the dim light of his surroundings still reached him, proving the barrier didn't obstruct his vision.

With the barrier active and fully functional, he stepped out into the open area.

As he moved, the black miasma dissolved the moment it entered his range.

Curiosity sparked an idea in Reign's mind. He extended his hand, imagining the protective dome expanding outward. The system, interpreting his command, handled all the processing and execution.

The translucent field expand, stretching farther from his body. The edge swept through the miasma ,clearing a path ahead.

'Sweet, I could also use this to attack,'

he muttered with a grin.

With the Adaptive Spatial Barrier still in place, he decided to test another one of his new abilities.

He already imagined the scenario in his mind. But now, it was time to see if he could make use of it in a practical way.

"System, let's see how well I can control flight. Activate gravity negation,"

Unlike his other bodies, this one was entirely reliant on the system. He had no natural understanding of how to control void energy, so every action required a direct command.

[System: Affirmative]

Reign felt the ground lose its hold on him. His body began to lift slowly, floating upward with ease.

He instinctively reached out, his body tilting slightly as he adjusted to the new sensation. It was more passive than what he was used to.

It was as if he were controlling a character through a controller, distant and detached from his own body.

But he didn't mind it too much, as the pros outweighed the cons.

'Alright, let's see if I can take this up a notch,'

he muttered, shaking off the feeling of discomfort.

SWOOOSH!

Reign pushed forward, testing his speed. It felt like swimming through the air. But it was still slower compared to his original body.

'System, negate air resistance, friction, and also negate the impact on my body. Scratch that—make my body ethereal so I won't be hit by anything,'

[System: Affirmative. Host's body now rendered ethereal, allowing it to pass through obstacles without physical interference.]

A strange sensation washed over him as his body transformed. It felt like he was no longer entirely solid, more like a shadow or a wisp of smoke.

SWOOOSH!

Everything around him slowed down. The world became a blur of colors, and the natural light struggled to keep up with his speed.

This was a speed his original body could never have attained. In its solid form, his body was bound by the limits of physical reality.

Now, with his ethereal state, he was no longer confined by those constraints.

'I'm too overpowered,'

he exclaimed, a sense of exhilaration flooding through him. '

I might already be the strongest in this state,'
