Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Reign looked at his status and saw that his Viral Slash was at level 20.

He wanted to test if it would increase by absorbing more concentrated form of viruses.

If not, he would resort to using Dark Dust Points to increase its level passed 30.

Maybe then it would gain some better functions.

In his opinion, it was too straightforward and lacked flexibility.

He had been saving Dark Dust points primarily because he felt that all his current skills were powerful enough for his current used, and he was waiting for something better to appear on the Store, which was bound to be expensive.

However, he was willing to make an exception for the Viral Slash due to its promising potential benefits and return on investment.

First, he selected one vial to open, taking a moment to inspect its contents before proceeding.

Normally, viruses could not survive long without a host, and they would degrade faster if exposed to water.

This was why viruses were normally sealed in cold areas, without any exposure to liquid, to preserve them.

But, looking at the clear water-like substance, it was evident that they had used a different kind of technology than Reign's old world to enable the pathogen to survive without a living host.

This showed the advanced state of technology in this world, particularly in the field of virology.

'What is this liquid ?' he mused to himself.

Intrigued, he began to look around, searching for any clues.

As he scanned the surroundings, his eyes landed on something on the ground.

It was a container resembling a tall tumbler, and it was made of aluminum like material, with a label that read [VirSolution-X05.]

He hurriedly opened it, confirming his suspicions as he found the same liquid present on the vials.

'This must be the thing preserving these viruses,' he concluded.

To test his theory, he decided to experiment with one of the vials first.

If his conclusion was correct, then he could adjust his plans for the better.

After giving the vial a brief shake, as one might do to a wine glass, he began to drink its contents, allowing the deadly virus to flow directly into his body.

The moment the virus entered his throat, his special viral gland sprang into action, eagerly absorbing its liquid form.

Compared to the slow absorption from the environment he was used to, this direct intake sparked a noticeable improvement.

It was akin to the contrast between catching raindrops on his tongue and drinking from a refreshing stream. The efficiency was incomparable

'That was delicious, 'he chuckled to himself, genuinely finding the taste pleasant, perhaps due to his Viral Gland.

He raised the vial and saw that it still had some remaining content. This was intentional on his part, as he planned to refill it using the [VirSolution.]

Reign carefully poured the solution into the vial, watching as the liquid mingled with the remnants of the virus.

He then shook the vial gently to ensure it mixed thoroughly. If his theory was correct, this solution would preserve the pathogen and allow it to multiply.

To ensure the virus would multiply, he created a hollow area in his forehand bone and then buried the vial inside.

Next, he controlled the temperature to mimic a normal human level. This way, the virus would think it was inside a human and accelerate the processed of Viral Replication.

He didn't have to worry about anyone coming here without alerting him, as he had installed his own sensor on the vents.

This ensured he would be alerted , giving him enough time to finish his tasks undisturbed.

After a couple of minutes, he retrieved the vial and used the microscope outside to test his hypothesis.

'It works,' Reign chuckled to himself, a sense of satisfaction washing over him. His curiosity had paid off, leading to a fascinating discovery .

He tried drinking the same vial again to see if he would gain any additional benefits, but nothing changed.

Instinctively, he realized that drinking the same type virus no longer have provide that much benefits.

Regardless, it was still beneficial that he figured out a way to recreate the virus artificially.

This meant he could drink everything here to gain various viral traits and then replace them.

With this new plan in mind, he continued to drink each vial as if he were sipping on a fruit juice.

While the deadly virus would make any human sick to death, he found himself enjoying it like a beverage.

However, after some time, he noticed that the effectiveness of the viruses was diminishing. He concluded that this might be because some of the viruses were fundamentally the same.

[System: Host has absorbed an x amount of different types of viruses.]

[System: Viral Slash can be evolved to Viral Control.]

[System: Would you like to spend 150,000 Dark Points to upgrade?]

[Yes] or [No]

"Yes!" Reign answered without a second thought.

[Ding]

[Viral Control: Allows the host to create various viruses by customizing viral sequences stored in the Viral glands .]

'Wait... Don't tell me it's what I think it is' Reign was stunned after reading the description. He hurriedly activated his skill, and another window indeed popped up.

Looking at the new window, he was excited to see that he now had more control over the effects of the virus.

A surge of anticipation coursed through him as he realized the potential this upgrade offered.

With this new ability to customize the virus, he could tailor it precisely to his needs, making his future plans much easier to execute.

'I'll test this out later. I can't get carried away,' Reign shook his head, refocusing on his task.

He hurriedly drank all the remaining vials, replacing them to hide any signs of him tempering them.

Next, he timed the CCTV, retrieved his bugs, and then returned to the vent to escape the room.

He proceeded to remove all the sensors and equipment he had planted along the way, ensuring to destroy all the evidence.

His plan was to exit the facility now, but before doing so, he made another detour to the same room where the meta-human was located before.

Fortunately, Doctor Harvey was quite busy, so they hadn't come here yet and discover the missing meta-human yet.

Bones started to protrude from his back, growing until they were the same size as the meta-human.

Reign then reformed them to make it appear as though the meta-human had turned into a mummified skeleton.

Next, he controlled it to make the dummy meta-human looked pure dark red, resembling blood.

After the meta-human body was completely formed, he placed it back in the capsule and closed it off.

Now, they would think that the meta-human did not go missing but instead turned into something else, effectively covering all his tracks.

It might not be perfect, but as long as he bought more time, then everything would just fall into place later.

'This is good enough,' Reign nodded in satisfaction, his ability to adapt and think outside the box shining through in this mission.

It demonstrated that despite having destructive power, the ability to use tactics was an equally powerful arsenal.

'Time to get out of here' he thought as he carefully removed the remaining bugs and then exited the area as if nothing had happened.

In the distance, Reign watched as the research facility continued operate as usuals.

Its staff diligently carried out their research, completely unaware that their experiments would set the stage for something big in the future.
