Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Ra gritted his teeth and prepared to siphon another wave of energy, but then—

"Are you still going to do that?" Reign's voice boomed in the sky.

His crimson eyes gleamed as he pointed downward. "Look below you."

Ra hesitated, then followed his gaze.

What he saw made him freeze.

The people...

They weren't dead, but they might as well have been.

Every single one of them had collapsed, their bodies trembling, their breathing ragged.

Even the strongest among them were barely holding on.

The sheer force of the city's artifact had drained them, leaving them helpless.

"If you unleash another one of those," Reign continued, his smirk widening, "you'll end up killing everyone—well, aside from the high-ranking demons, of course."

Ra's fists clenched around his staff. He did not mean to do this.

Reign chuckled, shaking his head. "See? This is why I'm the better version. You keep holding yourself back with silly things like morals."

He flexed his fingers, and the darkness around him pulsed. "Me? I take what I want, do what I want, and I kill anyone dumb enough to stop me."

Ra's jaw tightened. He wanted to deny it.

But the truth was staring him in the face. His strongest attack was not enough to take Reign down, and in the process, he nearly drained the life from those he swore to protect.

A sharp laugh rang out.

"Look at you, feeling guilty. Pathetic." Reign sneered.

"I'll give you another chance." He spread his arms wide, as if offering himself up. "Drain them to death—all of them. And this time, you just might kill me."

Ra's grip on his staff tightened, his golden energy flickering wildly around him. His body tensed, his instincts screaming to strike, to end this battle once and for all.

But his eyes drifted downward again, to the people barely clinging to life. Their shallow breaths, their trembling hands.

They trusted him. Believed in him.

Could he really sacrifice them just to win?

Reign took a step forward, his smirk widening. "Come on, Stop pretending you care. You and I both know power is all that really matters. Winning is all that matters."

Reign chuckled darkly, tilting his head.

"Besides, even if you don't drain them, they'll die anyway once I'm done with you."

His smirk widened, his voice dripping with mockery. "So you don't really have to think that hard. The result will be the same."

He leaned forward, his presence suffocating, his aura crackling like a storm barely contained.

"At least with the other option…" He gestured lazily toward the barely breathing masses below. "You have a chance to win."

Ra's entire body tensed. His heartbeat pounded in his ears.

He hated that Reign's words made sense.

He hated that, for a fleeting second, the thought crossed his mind.

What was the point of holding back if they were doomed anyway?

But no.

No.

That wasn't who he was.

"I'm not like you," Ra growled, his voice low, steady—certain.

Reign's smirk deepened

"Then die."

And in the next instant—

He attacked. He was faster this time.

Before Ra could react, a fist slammed into his gut—hard enough to knock the air from his lungs.

Then, in the same stance, he snatched Ra's head in a crushing grip and rocketed downward.

CRACK!

The already weakened barrier shattered on impact, crumbling like brittle glass as they tore through it.

But Reign didn't stop. He drove Ra straight down, their speed only increasing as they plunged toward the earth.

Ra struggled, but Reign's grip was like an unbreakable vice.

And then—

BOOOOOM!

They hit the ground with catastrophic force.

The earth ruptured, splitting apart as Ra was buried deep beneath the surface.

A massive crater formed in an instant, swallowing entire city blocks.

Dust and debris exploded outward, consuming everything in its path.

The shockwave followed, a violent pulse that shook the entire battlefield, sending cracks racing through the land.

For a moment, everything was silent—just the lingering tremors of destruction.

Then, standing at the edge of the smoldering pit, Reign cracked his knuckles, his grin never fading.

BAM!

His fist slammed into Ra's golden helm, the impact ringing out like a war drum.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Each blow wasn't meant to kill, but to punish—to break his other self's willpower.

Cracks began forming along the once-impenetrable golden armor.

Reign chuckled between strikes, his voice casual, and filled with joy.

"You know,.…"

CRACK! Another punch, harder this time.

"I don't actually hate you."

BAM!

"You're me, after all."

BAM!

"Or at least... you should have been."

He grabbed Ra by the front of his armor, yanking him up just enough to look into his dazed, half-hidden eyes.

"But instead, you chose to be weak."

Ra's head slightly moved before—

BOOM!

Reign drove another fist into his face, sending him crashing back into the ground.

WHOOSH!

A massive tornado hurtled toward Reign in an attempt to sent him away.

But he barely glanced up—then swung his fist.

BOOOOM!

The tornado vanished on impact, completely obliterated by sheer force alone. Winds that could have leveled mountains scattered like dust before him.

And without missing a beat, he counterattacked.

ZWWWWMMMM!

A thin, precise laser shot from his finger.

Ariel tried to dodge, but it was too fast.

SHLK!

The beam pierced her shoulder.

"AHHHHH" She gasped , staggering as a searing pain unlike anything she'd ever felt surged through her body.

At first, she thought it was just another wound—one she could heal like all the others.

However—

The golden light within her flickered, refusing to mend the wound.

Instead, something else spread from the injury—dark, writhing tendrils of energy crawling through her veins like a poison.

Death energy.

Her divine body—the very essence that made her an angel—was rejecting it. Or rather, it couldn't reject it.

"NO!!!!!" Ra's fists clenched, his golden aura rising. The ground beneath him cracked under the pressure, but Reign only chuckled.

"Pathetic. She's dying right in front of you, and you can't do a damn thing about it. And soon, everyone else will die too—because you're fucking weak!"
