Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

The corridors had a lot of corners, casting shadows on the walls. He moved quickly, remembering the way in his head.

Finally, he reached a reinforced door. It was made of thick, gray metal with a large, central wheel handle, reminiscent of a vault.

Its surface was filled, with rivets along the edges and seams that gave it an industrial, almost impenetrable look. The door frame was similarly reinforced, suggesting it was designed to withstand significant amount of force.

'This should lead me to a warehouse above,' he thought, comparing the place to the map he memorized.

'But why is this thing so sturdy?' he thought to himself.

Reign could tell that it was not just a normal reinforced door just by observing the material used, and it was pretty new judging from the color.

He examined the door closely, noticing the reinforced steel and advanced locking mechanisms.

His intuition tingled, so he activated his undead eye to check what was inside. Unfortunately, there was no one nearby with any vitality, so he couldn't see through it.

Not wanting to waste anymore time, he decided to just open it.

CREEEEK!

He twisted the wheel and felt how stiff it was. No human would be able to open it without the key, but Reign, with just a bit of his strength, destroyed the lock mechanism altogether.

The heavy door creaked open, revealing a dark hallway .

Reign walked further inside until he saw a staircase. The stairs had a zigzag pattern, leading upward in a series of sharp turns.

He began his climb, each step echoing softly in the silent corridor. The walls were lined with metallic panels, and the air grew colder.

When he was close to the top, he felt a cold air wash past him, like he was in a freezer.

'Did they renovate this place?' he mused inwardly.

But before he could figure out what was happening, a sudden gush of cold mist came down from the top.

The mist moved quickly, swirling around his feet and rising up to cover him. At first, he thought it was just cold air, but he soon realized it was something worse.

The mist was freezing cold, making his bones stiff and locking him in place.

In a split of a second, he turned into ice.

STEP !

STEP!

STEP!

The sound of footsteps echoed, and along with it came another wave of mist.

Appearing from within was a girl around 5 foot in height with white hair and blue eyes. Every time she breathed, the temperature dropped even further.

She walked closer to Reign, who was now completely frozen.

"I... I did it again," she sighed, her eyes filled with sadness, as if she hadn't meant for this to happen.

She looked at her victim one more time, not caring if he looked like a monster. In her experienced, everything that dared to get near her would turn into ice.

"I'm sorry for killing you," she apologized, bowing her head. Her eyes teared up, but before the tears could fall, they froze instantly.

"Kill me?"

A mocking chuckle echoed from within the ice. Before she could react, the ice began to melt. In an instant, Reign's hand shot out, grabbing her by the neck.

CRACK!

Reign's palm instantly froze, and when he pulled away, his whole hand shattered to pieces.

"What the fuck," he cursed aloud, and jump away to kept his distance.

His bones were supposed to be so durable they could withstand explosions capable of destroying a city block, but they broke like glass in front of her.

"How? How are you alive?" she asked, her eyes showing curiosity and excitement.

Seeing her reaction, Reign felt a strange familiarity. She reminded him of someone he had known long ago. And it was not a good memory.

SWOOOOSH!

He summoned his Skull Grinder and slashed at her without remorse.

But just like last time, his weapon froze the moment it touched her skin and shattered into pieces.

Reign hurriedly let go of his weapon and backed away.

The girl watched the shattered remnants of Reign's weapon fall to the ground, her eyes wide with innocent curiosity.

"Your toy broke," she said, her voice light and soft

"My toy broke?" he almost burst out laughing after hearing someone call his Skull Grinder a toy.

But what amused him even more was that he couldn't fault her for saying that.

'Damn, so this is how my enemies feel when I insult them,' he chuckled inwardly.

Trying to suppress his amusement, he focused back on the girl, who was still looking at him with curiosity.

"It's not a toy, and I'm trying to hurt you," Reign replied while red lightning danced around his body.

It was time for him to get a little bit serious. He had thought that only Juggernaut could force him to this point, but this place was hiding another metahuman.

Her eyes widened with fascination as she watched the red lightning crackle around him. "Wow, that's so pretty!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands together in delight.

Reign gritted his teeth, realizing she still didn't grasp the seriousness of the situation.

'She reminds me of Anna so much,' he thought to himself.

This was exactly how she used to act. The only difference was that this girl was far stronger and more dangerous.

He steadied himself, his mind racing as he tried to come up with a plan.

"I can't let my guard down," he muttered under his breath. The dark red electricity intensified around him.

CLAAAAP!

A thunderous sound echoed as he lunged at her and threw a punch, his fist enveloped in lightning and flames, to counteract the freezing effects.

But instead of a loud thud, what he heard was the sound of his whole arm shattering to pieces upon impact. Even with all the elements he had used, she was still able to completely neutralize him.

He quickly jumped back again a couple of meters away, his balance a little off due to having one less arm.

"How is that even possible ? ," he muttered aloud. Her power was even crazier than the angels

"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to break your arm," she said, bowing her head in apology, which further irritated him.

All his pride and ego had been shattered by that single sentence.

"Enough," he snapped, unable to hide his frustration. The arm he had lost regenerated, and he was as good as new.

"If not for me holding back…" he trailed off, pondering if it was now time for him to go all out.

"You can also heal yourself?" she asked, her voice filled with wonder.

"Also? " Reign repeated.

"We are the same ," She ripped off her own right hand with a wide smile on her face.

In the next moment, ice formed from her shoulder to replace her arm, and she looked completely uninjured. It was even faster than his own regeneration.

'System, are you sure I'm the demon lord with a system here ? Why do I feel like this girl has more cheat like ability than me? ' he asked

[System: Host, your firepower is the best in your rank. However, the girl's power operates on a different logic and cannot be easily measured.]

'In other words, she's overpowered,' he sighed.
