Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World - Chapter 477

Chapter 477: The Garden
“Impossible! How could this happen? I was supposed to be as strong as you! How did you beat me so easily?” the doppelganger gasped, its body reduced to only the torso after their clashed.

It had even used the other doppelgangers, but the result was still the same.

“It’s because I have something you can’t copy,” Reign replied with a playful laugh, exhilaration coursing through him.

His system had made this whole ordeal almost effortless. While the doppelganger could copy his powers, techniques, mannerisms, movements, and even strategies, it lacked the constant optimization that came with his system.

As the fight progressed, this difference became very clear.

No matter how well the doppelgänger imitated him, it couldn’t match his speed in switching between skills or the efficiency of those skills.

The fight was like two identical cars, built with the same parts, but one was equipped with a supercomputer that optimized its performance, making the fight unfair from the very beginning.

“By the way, how am I supposed to pass this trial if I’m not meant to beat the crap out of you?”

It was an honest question, but the way he phrased it sounded really insulting. Whether it was intentional, only he knew.

The creature’s expression twisted in frustration.

“You’re meant to confront yourself, your own weaknesses, and improve!” it spat, struggling to maintain its defiance despite its sorry state.

“Well, you’re too weak for me to learn anything, so does that mean I pass? What’s next from here?”

“Get out of here,” it sighed in defeat and a passaged opened in one of the walls.

“This will lead you to that place, but I must warn you, all those trials were set in place for a reason. You’ll need everything you learned from them, so don’t think that beating me this easily means you’ve won,” it sneered in contempt.

“I’ll think about that once I get there,” Reign turned around and walked away.

He absorbed the remaining vitality from the hunters who had died from this trial, gaining some experience points along the way. However, at his current level, the boost was negligible.

‘I wonder what’s next?’

He felt a sense of anticipation as he moved through the passage, knowing he was getting closer to uncovering the truth about this place—and what Lilith had been hiding from him.

With each step, his mind raced with possibilities.

What secrets lay ahead? What challenges would he face? And more importantly, what was Lilith’s role in all of this?

After what felt like thirty minutes ,he spotted a light at the end.

When he emerged, he was greeted by the sight of a giant tree surrounded by lush green land, its massive trunk stretching high into the blue sky.

Beside the tree stood the surviving hunters, including the young boy with blonde hair and Lilith.

The young boy sat atop one of the trunks, looking bored as he observed everything in silence.

Meanwhile, the hunters surrounded Lilith, bombarding her with questions about her presence there.

Tension rose as they engaged in a heated confrontation.

But their talk was disrupted by his sudden appearance.

“Who are you?” Will Razer was the first to asked.

Reign was no longer wearing his monkey king armor, so they didn’t recognize him.

“I’m with her,” Reign casually replied.

This made the others wary of him, but before they could react, Reign vanished and reappeared right beside Lilith.

Will and Miyu blinked in confusion, their eyes darting around as they tried to process what had just happened.

“What just happened?” Will started, his brow furrowing in disbelief.

Miyu shook her head. “Did he just… disappear and reappear? How did he do that?”

They exchanged worried glance. As the fastest hunters in the group, their reaction times were extraordinary. Yet, the fact that they hadn’t even registered Reign’s movement revealed just how fast he really was.

This was the wide gap between them. Even if Reing’s second body wasn’t as fast as the original, it was still beyond the comprehension of anyone below his rank.

Lilith was also taken aback. She had always known Reign was strong, but now he seemed to have grown more powerful after the trials.

A series of questions filled her mind as she wondered what could have happened to him to trigger such a change.

“Are you surprised?” he asked.

“A little. Thanks for coming to rescue me,” she quickly shifted the conversation, trying to maintain her composure.

“Of course, we’re partners, right? So it’s only right that we help each other,” he paused for a moment to see her reaction.

“It’s also important to be honest, don’t you think?” he added.

Lilith broke into a cold sweat as she sensed the underlying meaning of his words.

“Y– You’re right,” She forced a smile, hoping to mask her discomfort, but inside, doubt began to creep in.

Did he really know something?

What had he uncovered during this trial?

“Don’t be too nervous. I know you’re being honest with me,” he said, a smirk tugging at his lips. “Only an idiot would try to double-cross me, and you’re not an idiot, right?”

His tone carried an unmistakable warning, a clear reminder of what would happen if she was actually planning to betray him.

“I’m not,” she replied quickly, her voice steady, but the faint tremor in her hands says otherwise.

“Good to know,”

With that, he turned to face the others who had now surrounded them.

“Should I kill them all now, or do you still need them ?” Reign asked casually, as if discussing what clothes to wear.

The irony was that no one could dispute his bold claim.

If Reign really moved at speeds beyond their perception, he could kill them before they even knew what had happened.

Their only option was to activate Overload, just to have a chance of reacting to his speed.

“Don’t do it. You’ll just be throwing your life away,” the boy finally spoke.

He stood up and lazily walked to the front, and surprisingly, the prideful hunters stepped aside, giving him space.

“Let’s work together to get out of this place,” the boy said, raising his hand for a handshake.
