Reincarnated and Regressed Villain - Make heroines beg for forgiveness - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Chapter 46- Will he also have memories?
tap tap

Ryuk moved inside the hallway leading to Main Palace, his Amber eyes seemingly hazy in the middle, proving the existence of the Restriction he placed on his eyesight.

The reason for just blinding himself instead of adding illusions was due to the presence of another restriction which was taking a chunk of his focus.

Using previous world knowledge and understanding of the methods he can apply to enhance his Energy utilization, he nullified the surrounding atmospheric pressure to 5 Cm of his body.

In normal conditions, Such a thing will cause bodily fluid to vaporize due to lack of external pressure resulting in tissue and organ failures, but he needed to increase his control over energy by using his mana to keep his body under a pressure equal to Atmospheric pressure.

A very complicated yet profitable method since, he needed to keep focused 24 hours, indirectly doing training even while walking.

Naturally, he had used Ether- A more condensed form of Mana, but the issue was the property of Ether, Ryuk’s Ether core was even converting Mana into a more denser form but it was unstable.

And, right now, he needed to accumulate more strength before stabilizing it but he needed to reach the next level since he doesn’t have much time.

Observing the Status window, Ryuk narrowed his gaze, even though his eyesight couldn’t see anything but system was an exception due to it being a part of him.

‘I have to take some break’, Observing how he needed to go through body reconstruction to become strong enough to utilize his Phase II power.

Even in his past life, he never once went through body reconstruction since he grew slowly with his strength, but right now, due to him being inside the small body of an 11-year-old child, he was not even able to level up his strength stat.

Making him understand that right now, he needed to first go through Reconstruction and then focus on strengthening physically, which was also the reason why he only focused on Energy stat.

Making him a 〖APEX〗level powerhouse but it was still Imperfect, meaning only Energy reached that level not Physical Strength, which was his next thing to take care of.

“May I come in inside Mother?” Arriving at the door of a room he called out, standing there without getting any answer for some moment, he directly entered the room.

Entering, the first thing he saw was his mother busy with some documents, not taking it to his heart since he knew why she didn’t reply, slowly leaning, he bowed “Sorry, Mother but I will tell you everything one day.”

Alisia was busy writing something on paper feigning ignorance before speaking ” I never knew you would hide things, Child”

‘Is she angry about the previous day’ Ryuk remembered yesterday’s event, which was an unexpected Gain for him.

// FLASHBACK //

BOOM!

“You sure, that you are a human” Bella remarked with her wrist being gripped by Ryuk’s hand, holding a dagger, while her other hand clenched his wrist.

Both were stuck in a defensive and offensive position without any chance of either side withdrawing.

“At least, I look like one, Unlike you” Ryuk stopping her advance, while understanding the strength Bella had reached within such a short time, mocked her by mentioning things she hated the most.

“You!” Bella clenched her jaws before increasing her strength, causing Ryuk’s legs to slide on the surface, a rush of confidence filling her mind, seeing him getting pushed back.

Unbeknownst to her, Ryuk’s attention was fixed on his system’s Voice.

[ Host, Five Individuals have infiltrated Selvius Kingdom ]

‘What is their level’, Ryuk inquired already understanding that the reason for System to inform him could only be related to matter of things, outside this Continent, meaning the individuals are not native to this place.

[ Each one of them is at 〖PRIME〗level ]

‘Are they at perfect level’ Ryuk thought about the chances of foreign enemies being stronger, even though he was at 〖APEX〗which was enough for him to deal with them but his tendency to not let his guard down kicked in.

[ Only one of them is Perfect ]

“Hey Bella, You look very exhausted, shouldn’t you rest, bye ” Ryuk seeing how Bella had pushed him to the platform’s edge but in the process her face became crimson red, felt to tease her more but already focused on his priorities, he suddenly vanished in thin air.

SWISH

“W-what!?— Thud” Bella felt the force in front of her leaving causing her to fall on the ground from the training platform, directly hitting her face.

“Ugh” Slowly lifting herself with her amethyst eyes intensely set on the ground, pursuing her lips, only one word came out at that moment.

“RYUK!!!!, YOU STINKY PIG!”

…

SWISH

Far away from the Capital city, on the borders of the Slevius kingdom, surrounded by dense forest, five white-cloaked figures moved at a tremendous pace toward the direction of the Capital city.

‘Elder Sister, Wouldn’t Mother Malika be angry with us’ While moving one of the figures telepathically inquired to the one heading them in front.

‘She will, even if we return like this then why not, see that boy for once’ Maya felt the need to get some information about the famous son of Alisia Devereaux who caused the previous Flagbearer battle to end in a draw.

It was common knowledge that the previous heir battle of the Devereaux family ended with Alisia’s withdrawal and subsequently her two sisters, leaving the weight of responsibilities to the upcoming generation.

‘But, That kid is a weakling who has not even entered Phase II’ From the information gathered through official sources within the Devereaux family, which is used to keep an eye on potential Flagbearers, Ryuk Devereaux is at the bottom of the list for being eligible enough to partake in battle.

‘!?’

“Stop here” Suddenly halting in her way, the one heading them sensed the presence of someone nearby, watching over them, turning her gaze to look towards the direction from where she felt someone’s presence.

“Who are you!” Maya shouted causing others to also take a battle stance, already understanding the enemy being strong enough to hide his presence.

“Sigh, Bad luck, I could have gotten more information out of you guys” Ryuk’s face formed a small smile while his gaze reflected the white-cloaked figure, seeing their thin waist and womanly figure, he knew at least they were females.

[ Host, they are shocked ]

‘Heh, It will be fun to see their Expression’ He had already commanded his system to secretly hear these cloaked figures’ telepathic voice, and from there, he had gotten all the necessary information.

[ You can’t Host, they are Cloned Synthetic replicas of an Individual ]

‘What? ‘ Ryuk felt genuinely surprised, by the fact that these five people were stronger than Jenny and even though they were just replicas of someone.

‘Sigh and here I thought, Jenny was a heroine’ Ryuk shook his head remembering his dear slave, who had become the biggest investor in his leveling points but was not even strong enough to hold her title.

‘Is that thing a child’ One of the Maya inquired due to her only seeing a silhouette hidden behind tree shades, due the system making their senses blur, enough for them to not recognise even his energy signature.

SWISH

Suddenly Ryuk disappeared before appearing in front of that Maya, his hands directly went for her face, grabbing it before smashing it on the ground.

BANG!

‘!?’

All of them can only turn their gazes while in complete shock due to his speed and also the eyes, which screamed his identity, lifting his body, Ryuk pointed towards himself before adding “I am not a Thing, Ladies”

[ System’s Restrictions Broken!! ]

A notification with a red screen popped up, making him realize that he had just forced shut down the whole thing due to his sudden actions.

SWISH

Suddenly a hand headed towards his head, passing through the system’s window and reaching within a mere moment.

BOOOOM!

“You must be the Perfect one” Ryuk’s eyes turned cold, while his palm blocked the punch but the impact was enough to send a shockwave destroying the nearby trees to a mile, proving the strength assilant held.

“You must be Ryuk” Maya’s eyes identified the boy who just blocked her full-strength punch which carries the weight of 1,000,000 Tons, enough to crush mountains to dust.

But from Ryuk’s perspective, who had already realized this planet’s density far surpassed his previous world’s planet Earth, this punch was equivalent to an Asteroid hitting the planet or a force created by a major volcanic eruption.

If he was in his old world, these all things would have seemed like some fiction story, since they surpassed the scale of most human-made impacts, but now being in this world, nothing seemed impossible.

SWISH

The gust of wind-produced due to force caused Maya’s hoodie to unveil her face, causing her hair to flutter while her eyes remained fixed on him.

“….” Ryuk remained silent, waiting for confirmation while observing the surroundings which were destroyed just due to the backlash of a mere punch.

[ Black Dome has stopped the energy leakage ]

System informed him about the successful blockage of any energy leaving an area of a mile, which was already surrounded by Ryuk the moment he arrived here, after all, he couldn’t risk being detected by others while using his full strength.

‘Good’ A cold glint passed through Ryuk’s eyes before turning towards those women, his grip tightening on Maya’s fist, only few words left his mouth.

“I was trying to be merciful you know”

.

“L-ea–ve m-e”

“You don’t feel pain, do you” Ryuk stomped on Maya’s face while her limbless body lay on the ground, evidence of the intense battle that just unfolded, the whole land was devoid of any tree, completely flattened.

His cold gaze turned towards the other four women lying at some distance with the destroyed body, seeing how none of them cried or groaned in pain while engaged in a one-sided battle.

And, observing marble-like pieces without any blood, completely proving their identity as dolls, Ryuk changed his mind and canceled the idea of killing them.

SWOOSH

Suddenly, his hand was shrouded in a black aura before bursting toward those figures and enveloping them. Sticky black liquid started entering their facial orifices—nose, ears, and mouth.

The Enslavement Grimoire would have been useless on these clones, as they lacked any soul—the primary target of the slave seal. Ryuk’s main aim, however, was not to torment them with pain, considering they didn’t possess it in the first place.

‘System, activate grim worms and change their memories,’ he commanded, intending to replace the Maya’s existing images. Unable to control someone’s brain directly, Ryuk utilized the grim worms for this purpose.

Parasites, trojans, or whatever one might call them, they evolved with Ryuk, adhering to the principles of his past world to enhance his existing abilities.

STOMP

Increasing the force on his foot, he caused the strongest among the group on the ground to perish.

‘Heal them.’

SWISH

Ryuk left the area, leaving a command for the system, heading towards the Royal palace and contemplating the excuse he would provide for his sudden absence.

// Flashback Ends //

“I don’t understand, Mother,” Ryuk inquired, aware that it was the seventh time since he used the system to obscure others’ gazes, including Alisia’s.

“You plan to go the North and you even started to erase your presence from me, Child, you are not going to that place, absolutely not.”

‘Who told her about that,’ Ryuk calmly listened to Alisia, already pondering how she became aware of everything.

“I will do just what you told, Mother,” Ryuk told her blankly before bowing and leaving the room.

‘Sigh, he will definitely go,’ Alisia rubbed her forehead, understanding the challenges of being a mother, even harder than any mission she had undertaken as a Flagbearer.

Krieeek

Ryuk exited the room, preparing to leave but was interrupted by a voice.

“Heh, you’re still alive.”

Slowly turning towards the direction, his eyes reflected a girl’s figure standing with a smirk, folding her hands behind her back, looking at him with amethyst eyes.

“It would be a shame if I died just because some cat snitched on me,” Ryuk lifted his gaze, ready to dampen her momentary happiness.

“How dare you call me a cat!” Bella attacked him and another round of struggle started, creating a havoc inside th palace.

Tack Tack

A white carriage adorned with golden inscriptions moved through the crowded market of Selvius Kingdom’s capital, heading towards the Royal Palace.

“Sister, are you fine?” Celestia inquired, facing the girl with the same pink hair and facial features sitting opposite her.

“Yes, you don’t have to worry, Celestian.” Karina rested her chin on the carriage window, observing the familiar place filled with bustling people.

‘Will he also have memories?’ Karina thought about an amber-eyed individual, contemplating the possibility of him having memories like hers.

“By the way, Celestian, how was the Crown Prince?” Unable to contain her curiosity, Karina let her voice reach Celestia.

badump

Suddenly, Celestia’s mind, due to her Absolute Memory, replayed the entire scene – those amber eyes and a small teasing smile, the touch of his hand and the compliments, causing a blush to form on her face.

“I-I didn’t get the chance to meet him”
