Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Wh Reign tered the Gate, he found himself in a space that resembled storm clouds, with arcs of lightning flashing intermitttly, accompanied by the booming sound of thunder.

He could feel the wind whipping against his body and face, its force quite strong as he stood suspded in the vast sky .

Looking a, he realized that he was airborne, but strangely able to walk on the air itself, the ssation of the strong wind rushing past him exhilarating and surreal.

Suring him, huge clouds hung like ancit giants, their immse shapes casting long shadows that stretched across the whole area.

'How am I supposed to pass this test?' he thought to himself.

The Trial of Elemts sounded daunting ough, but the system hadn't giv him any hints about what the test was actually about.

But, he didn't have to guess for long, as the black clouds began rumbling louder and louder.

Suddly, the air a him crackled with electricity, causing his hair to stand on d.

Crack!

In an instant, he was struck by lightning from the cloud above, the electricity coursing through his body from head to toe.

'Is this it?' he thought to himself.

This kind of damage wasn't ough to hurt him at all; the electricity, which could have fried a human, felt ticklish to him.

Wh the first wave of lightning passed, he stretched his arms, completely unaffected by the rect attack.

"That was easy," he chuckled aloud.

As if insulted by his remark, the clouds rumbled again, this time with ev greater intsity.

Two lightning strikes lashed out at him from the left and right.

But just like last time, he didn't ev flinch and just accepted the tire attack .

With his body now far more resilit than ever, he faced the attack with confidce, knowing he could withstand it without issue.

However, the third strike unleashed three lightning bolts, and the fourth unleashed four.

With each successive wave of attack, the number of lightning strikes increased, adding to the overall burd he had to bear.

What made this attack ev more dangerous was the synchronization of each lightning strike.

With every bolt that struck, the ergy was amplified, and the damage kept piling up.

By the tth wave, his external bones began to crack under the pressure, forcing him to use his negative ergy to velop his body and hance its durability.

However, by the fourteth wave, he was compelled to utilize the Salamander Scale to further increase his resilice.

"How many waves do I have to withstand?" Reign asked, his worry escalating as he reached the 0th wave.

At this point, his scales were dropping from his skin, unable to withstand the reltless damage inflicted by the lightning.

He had initially thought he only had to dure the lightning for a 5 waves, but it showed no signs of stopping.

The more he tried to defd himself, the stronger the lightning strikes became. It was like fighting back only made the attacks more powerful.

'Maybe I'm doing something wrong?' he mused inwardly.

Why had he assumed that this test was about during all of these attacks in the first place?

His mind raced as he pondered this question, and he realized he needed to approach the situation from a differt angle.

The lightning elemt has the highest petrating power among all elemts.

Maybe the clue was in its properties, or ev in the lightning strikes themselves.

Suddly, it clicked.

The increasing number of lightning strikes wasn't just a random detail; it was the key to understanding the trial.

The test wasn't about durance or resilice; it was about harnessing the power of lightning itself.

With this revelation, his approach shifted.

Instead of merely during the lightning strikes, he began to focus on absorbing and channeling the ergy of each strikes.

Embracing the power of the lightning elemt, he sought to harness its strgth rather than resist it.

As he experimted with channeling the lightning ergy, Reign figured that his body, being a good conductor, held the pottial to absorb and release the ergy safely.

Inspired by this revelation, he created long antna-like extsions from his body to act as absorbers.

Through this method, he could allow the ergy to pass harmlessly through him, effectively neutralizing the threat posed by the lightning strikes.

As each wave of lightning bolt passed through his body, he steadily refined and improved upon the concept he had discovered.

By the time the 5th wave struck, the lightning was no longer a threat.

Now, ev if more lightning tried to strike him, he could redirect the currt and release it safely, suring his survival.

[System: Congratulations for completing the Trial of Elemts.]

[Domain Completion: 50%]

Wh he heard the notification, his vision shifted once again, and he found himself back in the moonless area where only the glowing sand provided light.

'I feel much stronger,' Reign chuckled to himself as he raised his hand and tried to summon red lightning in his palm.

He did not grow stronger in terms of ergy, but the way he create lightning now was more refined .

Previously, he had approached harnessing lightning in a straightforward manner: channeling it from his core and releasing it.

However, in this trial, he made a breakthrough.

By creating chain reactions from his core to his palm, he realized he could amplify the power and conctration of the lightning.

Despite inputting the same amount of ergy as before, the resulting output was far stronger and more conctrated than ever.

[System: Please Complete The Trial of Law ]

The notification from the system jolted him from his thoughts.

'So it's law now,'he mumbled to himself.

So far the mission was all something he could do .

Perhaps the Legdary Rank wasn't as challging as he had anticipated, or maybe it was because his foundation was very solid.

Whatever the reason, he found the tests manageable .

While they might be difficult for others, they were doable for him.

His robust physique and sharp intellect proved invaluable in deciphering the trial's challges.

He was grateful that he hadn't settled for less and had chos the Legdary Domain Rank.

Now, as long as he completed the remaining trials, he would finally be able to create his own Domain.

CRACK!

As the space a Reign began to crack and fracture, he felt a sudd shift in vision again.

In the blink of an eye, he found himself transported to another place.

However—

This new space was unlike anything he had ever se before — an dless expanse of pure, unbrok stretching out in every direction.

The pristine surings should have be more comfortable than the dark void he had witnessed before.

However, for Reign, this place reminded him of the room where he had be locked away for years.

The walls and the brightness that had deprived him of rest echoed in his mind for a momt.

But he was no longer as affected by it.

The Trial of Self had made him realize that his past life was no longer important; what mattered now was his prest and his future.

Of course, this didn't mean that he had forgott about those who wronged him. He still wanted them dead.

Rather, he had become more focused on getting stronger for his own sake, first.

STEP!

STEP!

STEP!

Wh he tried to walk forward, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off but he kept on moving.

But with each step, the sse of disoritation only grew until he finally realized what was wrong .

'There's no direction in this place,' he mumbled to himself.

No matter which way he turned, it felt like he was not moving at all.

He didn't ev know if he was moving forward, backward, upward, or downward.

It felt as though the world had suddly decided to disregard the natural laws of things like gravity, direction, and many more. .

To test his hypothesis, he needed something that he could observe in the third person, unlike his own body.

"Claw Bullet!" he called out, raising his arms and summoning a long projectile.

He expected it to pierce the air and continue moving until it lost its momtum and fell down.

However, as he watched the bullet hurtle through the air, he was met with a perplexing sight.

Instead of following a straight trajectory, the bullet began to bd, multiply, expand, shrink, vanish into thin air, and reappear again, only to change shape once more.

Finally, it completely disintegrated, leaving Reign bewildered by the bizarre display of phoma.

It was as if this place defied all natural and logical laws, with every movemt appearing too erratic and unpredictable for him to make any sse of it.

'So, what should I do now?' he muttered to himself, pausing for a momt to gather his thoughts.

This was the challge of this trial — unlike the Trial of Elemts, there were no obvious hints to guide him.

He was left to figure out everything using only his wits and intuition to rely on.
