Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Reign looked forward, his senses already locked to the approaching figures.

Five men, all gear up in sleek skin tight power-suits and wielding different types of weapons, surrounded Reign, forming a semi-circle around him.

The leader, a tall man with green hair, stepped forward and raised his hand, signaling the others to hold their positions.

Each attacker wore a black jacket, and their mouths were covered by a half black masks resembling the maw of a tiger, leaving only their eyes visible.

The masks gave them an intimidating, unified look that added to the atmosphere of tension and readiness.

Like the crazed girl, their eyes displayed virtual information through a lens, a built-in device that allowed them to control their power armor. It also provided real-time data about their vitals.

"Hand over the girl," the green haired man demanded, his voice cold and authoritative. "She's coming with us.

Reign did not react, not moving from his position beside the unconscious crazy girl and Aiku. "And why do you want to take her?"

"We are her comrade," the man replied, his eyes narrowing. "She's one of us. You have no business with her."

Reign's expression remained unchanged. "It's my business when I say it is," he replied coldly.

The leader's eyes flickered with impatience. "We don't have time for this. Give her to us now, or you will suffer the wrath of our organization."

Reign stood up slowly, his dagger still in hand. He twirled the bone blade effortlessly, demonstrating its lightness with a smirk. "You guys talk a lot of bullshit. If you want her, you'll have to take her by force."

The leader's patience snapped.

"Attack!" he ordered.

The five men lunged forward simultaneously, their weapons humming as it slice through the air.

Reign's sneered as he braced himself for the attack.

The first attacker swung a massive black warhammer, aiming for the head.

Initially, the swing wasn't very fast, but as the weight of the warhammer carried it downward, the momentum increased dramatically, making it a powerful and deadly strike.

"Too slow," Reign chuckled aloud .

He sidestepped effortlessly while bringing his dagger up and using Stream Guide to shift the weight of the impact.

CLANG!

Next, he angled the attacker's warhammer downward, smoothly guiding it towards the floor as he simultaneously slid his dagger upward.

The attacker, gripping the big warhammer, attempted to lift his weapon again, aiming to disrupt the dagger trajectory.

However, to his astonishment, the seemingly light dagger was too heavy to be moved.

No matter how much force he exerted, the trajectory of the dagger remained stable, defying all his expectations.

Panic set in.

His last desperate option was to raised his head a bit, trying to ensure that the dagger would strike his reinforced collar, a part of his power suit specifically designed to absorb impacts.

But Reign wasn't playing around anymore.

SLASH!

The dagger sliced through the armored neck effortlessly, cutting through armor and flesh like it was paper.

THUD!

The sickening crunch of the severed head hitting the ground echoed through the air, sending a chilling message to everyone.

"You messed with the wrong person,"

The next attacker hesitated, fear flickering in his eyes, but he had no time to stop.

SWOOSH!

Reign vanished from his sight.

When he reappeared, the heads of two more members were already flying through the air. The execution was too fast, too overwhelming for them to process.

The last attacker and the green haired man, realizing they were outmatched, tried to retreat.

But Reign's figure blurred again, and in an instant, they too were decapitated, their bodies crumpling to the ground.

THUD!

Reign stood in the center of the carnage, his dagger dripping with blood, his expression cold and merciless.

The efficiency of his movements had left no room for error, no chance for survival.

It wasn't a matter of them being too weak; in fact, the green haired man surpassed the crazy girl in strength.

The gap in power was just too vast, leaving them all dead before they could even showcase their power.

"You overestimate yourself," Reign shook his head, his gaze drifting down to the bodies he had dispatched.

He felt no satisfaction in their death; to him, the difference between them and a normal human wasn't that big. If he really want someone dead, a single slash would be enough to end both of their lives.

'Maybe I could get some useful mutation organ from them,' he pondered, eyeing the fallen bodies thoughtfully.

He had the impulse to absorb them immediately, but the number of CCTV cameras in the area restricted his actions.

"They're dead already?" Aiku asked, still trying to process what happened.

In her perspective, everything had happened too fast; one moment Reign was brandishing his dagger, and the next, their attackers started dying one by one.

This was totally different than the fight between the crazed girl and Reign. It was too one-sided.

"How did you do it, Master? " She asked.

"It wasn't all speed," Reign explained. "It's a super easy technique called Time Blinking I copied from the Hunters. It makes it appear as though I disappear, but in reality, I'm just shifting my position every time they blink ."

His explanation made it sound like a simple task, but in reality, timed blinking was a difficult skill achievable only by seasoned hunters.

It demanded exceptional reaction times just to detect an opponent's blink while in the heat of the battle, let alone utilized it effectively.

Among the hunters he faced, only a select few had mastered this ability.

She decided to just accept his explanation. It was too much of a headache to rationalize everything her master did in the first place.

Reign was just too mysterious, like Pandora's box.

The more she tried to peek inside, the more secrets she uncovered, each one more baffling than the last.

"Governor, are you okay?" Men in bulletproof police gear began running towards them, their footsteps echoing in the tense atmosphere.

Each carried a rifle, their eyes scanning the area for any sign of danger.

When they reached them, the men hurriedly pointed their guns at Reign, who stood casually, still clutching his dagger.

"Lower your weapons, he's my bodyguard," Aiku commanded.

The police hesitated for a moment, glancing at each other for confirmation.

Slowly, they lowered their rifles, though their eyes remained wary and alert.

One of the officers stepped forward, addressing Aiku directly.

"Governor, we're here to ensure your safety. Is there any immediate threat we need to be aware of?" he asked, still casting cautious looks at Reign.

"No, he already took care of everything," she replied, her eyes pointing to the headless bodies on the ground.

Some exchanged uneasy glances, while others instinctively tightened their grips on their rifles after focusing on the dead bodies.

The officer who had spoken to Aiku took a deep breath, trying to maintain his composure.

"Understood, ma'am," he said, his voice slightly strained. "We'll secure the area and call for cleanup. Please, follow us to a safe location."

"There's no need for that," Aiku rejected their offer. "Just take this girl into custody, she's one of the criminals."

The officer nodded, acknowledging her orders.

In the hierarchy of the city, the Governor held the highest authority among government agencies, so they were all her subordinate.
