Reincarnated and Regressed Villain - Make heroines beg for forgiveness - Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Chapter 70- A Last Message (pt2)
[Host, energy belongs to a message sent fifteen years ago in the form of a hologram.]

‘Are you sure it’s fifteen years ago?’ Ryuk questioned, unable to connect the message to that time period since, fifteen years prior, they were on the Heindal Continent, making the idea of sending a message then confusing.

[Host, Exactly, it’s eighteen years old, but the energy fragments seem to retain some essence of time.]

‘Wait, do you mean that after reading the message, instead of getting destroying, it jumped three years ahead and then got destroyed?’ Everything was confusing.

The concept of time wasn’t new to him, as he had returned to the past himself, but without the System, it would have been impossible.

[Something similar, but it seems the message was sent a few years before it even reached this room, and until then, it was traversing through time and space in search of the right moment.]

‘Retrieve it,’ Ryuk demanded. He didn’t understand what kind of message could be sent beyond the boundary of time.

It was akin to sending a message to the future with conditions on when it needed to be revealed.

[ INITIATING…..]

The moment a notification popped up, the surrounding air started to become denser, as if falling into a haze, with tiny shards of mana strings becoming visible.

SWOOSH

All the fragments started to move and converge into a single place, forming words that gradually became visible until a complete message was in front of Ryuk.

While reading this message, you must be anxious about my return from this place. It seems difficult; my cosmic energy is exhausted, and soon my body will shatter too.

Don’t come here.

Leave Ardoros and go to a continent called Heindal at the corner of this planet.

Listen, Alisia, our son’s destiny has been tampered with, and his fate has been painted black by these people.

He will attract Heaven’s rage.

Keep him away from the outside world.

I had planted an Artifact there at the time of its foundation; that place will prevent the growth of his enemies.

I will make sure to not let anyone of them to reach you but beware of their incarnations.

‘She knew’ Even in a situation that was enough to overwhelm anyone, Ryuk was calm enough to think things through.

Reading the message, many things became clear to him.

His biological father was not human, more like at another level of demi-gods or something similar.

Heindal was decided to be an escape place for him to hide from Heaven’s sons and daughters, and even before birth, he was destined to be a villain.

Now he understood the reason for all the heroines to be on Heindal; him being a villain was a target for them to step on.

And finally, the presence of a Heaven-Grade Artifact on Heindal was clear to him.

Everything was just moving around him, just to protect him from the outside world; he was isolated into a mere cage.

The amusing part of all this is that his mother knew about him being a villain, and to avoid these things, she always tried to teach him good lessons while hiding her own habits of killing people.

Of course, Ryuk also knew about the Criminal Dungeon of Selvius Kingdom, which was made solely for his mother to soothe her anger, and right now, he was in need of that place too.

Ryuk stood directly and moved out of the room. Several questions were answered, but right now, he needed to calm his mind.

KRIEEEK

Opening the door, his eyes fell on two Mayas standing while holding two documents with some width, while Alfred stood with widened eyes looking towards Ryuk.

Ignoring his expression, which Ryuk knew the reason behind, he stated, “What are the rules in this place if someone commits mass killing?”

GASP

Alfred was far stronger than Ryuk in terms of energy and strength, but right now, his eyes were seeing a split image of Lady Alisia inside Ryuk.

Being a servant, he was habitual with his master’s habits.

“Exactly, there are no rules since no one kills here, but if you…” Alfred stopped in the middle, not wanting to reveal that everyone knew about Ryuk’s bloodline getting destroyed, leading to others not holding back while trying to kill him.

“Very good.” Ryuk understanding meaning behind those words turned towards Maya, offering his hand to get the document in her hand while looking at her blank gaze.

“Here.” Maya placed a stick-like thing in his hand.

It was a measuring scale.

“…” Looking at the scale in his hand, he lifted his eyes only to meet both Mayas looking at him with curious eyes, faces which didn’t hold any emotions.

‘System, lower that curiosity level in them. It is now crossing limits.’ Right now, he was already angry, and now this thing in his hand only added fuel to his anger, irritating him even more.

[Host, I cannot do anything about their nature; they are still learning.]

Upon hearing those words, Ryuk regretted killing Eldest Maya that day. It was clear that one with more experience would better fulfill their curiosity.

Understanding these Mayas, he threw the scale before taking the document himself.

“Stay here and Alfred follow me,” slowly taking the document, he noticed both of Maya’s eyes fixed on the thrown scale, slightly burrowing down, signifying their hidden disappointment.

Which was confusing, but at the same time, seeing how both of them had worked hard for all these four years.

Before turning to leave the place, he left his words.

“It’s 8 soft.”

‘System, is the mechanism of the Crystal different from my Ether Core?’ Moving upward through the stairs while Alfred also followed behind him, Ryuk inquired, trying to understand the way it produces energy.

[Host, Unlike the Ether Core, which produces Ether from natural mana outside your body, the Crystal does the same, but it needs Gaia’s rays to compress that natural mana.]

‘I see.’ Ryuk opened one of the files, pondering the application of those crystals, realizing they are not feasible for him in battles, more like they have a disadvantage of not producing anything in the absence of Gaia’s light.

‘!?’

Suddenly seeing a name, Ryuk halted in his way, narrowing his gaze, his eyes fixed on number 23rd in a list of 24 people who hated him to death.

“Can I help you with something, Young Master?” Alfred, seeing Ryuk stopping in his way and noticing his facial expression, became curious.

“What do you know about Anneh?” Ryuk turned towards Alfred, his cold gaze remembering someone.

“Oh, that woman. She is a candidate from Lady Angelica’s side.” Alfred remembered some of the outstanding candidates, and among them, this young woman was also present, but being covered by some cloaked mask, no one saw her face.

“How did she reach 〖EPIC〗 within such a short period of time?” Ryuk’s mind was trying to keep itself in under control even after seeing a very familiar name; of course, he was not dense to not link things.

“That…” Alfred hesitated but seeing Ryuk’s gaze revealed, “Young Master, you must have known about the Devereaux Bloodline’s drawback which already made sure to not have any betrayal against each other inside Ardoros, which caused some of them to form teams in the Heir Battle. That’s why, accompanied with real heirs, a Chimera also participated.”

Averting his gaze from Ryuk, feeling ashamed of themselves, since it was the dark reality of the Devereaux family’s traditions where they brought people against their will to implant energy cores and fake bloodlines, “Anneh is also a Chimera prepared by implanting an energy core, personally made by Lady Angelica.”

‘Bastards.’ Ryuk’s last bit of patience snapped there hearing all these things.

He may have killed people but never brought someone forcefully and did some experiments on them.

Turning his gaze towards the list which belonged to people who hated him the most, Ryuk read that name opposite.

‘Henna’
