Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World - Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Denser
Reign weighed his options carefully.

On the one hand, gaining three powerful beings as servants was an enormous advantage—extra manpower could be a huge help.

On the other hand, the thought of dealing with their different personalities and constant chatter wasn’t exactly appealing.

He sighed, picturing himself navigating their incessant bickering.

‘If only there were some way to shut them off like a switch,’ he mused, imagining the peace and quiet that would bring.

‘Now that would make this offer a thousand times better.’

Ember noticed the flicker of hesitant on Reign’s face.

As a Divine Beast, her pride took a hit.

Was it really that hard to accept them?

If not for Nerys’s warning glance, she might have burst out with frustration.

Instead, she pouted silently, her anger simmering just beneath the surface.

‘Seriously?’ she thought to herself, ‘We’re Divine Beasts—and not to mention drop-dead gorgeous! Angels would line up to get us. Does he even realize what he’s missing?’

Little did she know, Reign’s lack of concern for such matters was almost unmatched—like a monk who had spent decades erasing every human desire.

“It’ll be a hassle to move around with you three,” he finally broke the silence, his tone blunt. “You’d just slow me down, and I’d have to keep an eye on you.”

He watched Nerys expressions shift from hope to disappointment.

“Look, I work alone for a reason. Having three women following me around isn’t exactly my idea of an upgrade.”

Nerys was quick to respond, her voice firm.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Once you sign the pact, we can merge with your body when you don’t need us. You’ll only see us when you want to summon us.”

“I can do that?” he raised an eyebrow. If that was the case, then this changed everything.

Yes,” Nerys confirmed, sensing his interest.

“It’s one of the perks of being our master. You gain our powers without the inconvenience of us tagging along physically. ”

Reign’s thoughts began to shift. If that were the case, he could utilize their powers just like he did with his undead army.

In terms of firepower though, just one of them could easily obliterate his undead army multiple times over.

‘That… actually sounds useful,’ he muttered to himself.

‘System, is that true?’

[System: Analyzing Host Divine Body and Divine Beasts. Confirmed that they are made of similar compositions.]

[System: Establishing a pact will allow the Divine Beasts to merge with host body made, enabling summoning at will.]

Nerys perked up, sensing his change of heart.

“So, what do you say? Are you ready to make a pact with us?” She brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

“Let’s do it. What do I do?”

This was no longer a question of yes or no.

The benefits were too big to ignore; he would be the dumbest person alive if he missed this opportunity.

“Kiss us,” she explained.

“Kiss you?”

He was visibly confused.

Was it really that easy to form a bond with a Divine Beast?

He looked between them, searching for any sign of a joke. “You’re serious?”

“Yes. It’s a symbolic gesture to seal the pact. Don’t worry; it’s just a formality!”

“This feels… too simple,” he replied, skepticism creeping into his voice.

Nerys nodded, understanding his hesitation. “We may be powerful, but the bond we’re forming relies on trust. A kiss is a way to express that commitment.”

“Fine,” he sighed, stepping closer. “Let’s get this over with.”

She also stepped closer, expecting a gentle kiss, but in a surprising move, he suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her in, kissing her with unexpected forced.

Sensing no immediate change, he thought he might need to show a bit more ‘commitment.’

He slipped his tongue into the mix, hoping to solidify the bond. But still, nothing seemed to change, so he didn’t stop.

Nerys, on the other hand, was taken by surprise. The sudden intensity of the kiss made her instinctively respond, her long serpent tongue coiling around his.

She began breathing heavily, her face flushing with warmth. Feeling a rush of excitement, she raised her hand, gripping his clothing tightly as she savored the moment.

The heat radiating from her cheeks rose, and the intensity of her gaze locked onto him.

Reign was also caught off guard by her sudden enthusiasm. Confused, he thought maybe this was part of the ritual, so he decided to just go with it.

“Stop! What the hell are you two doing?” Ember shouted, her face flushed with anger.

Reign broke the kiss, his eyes filled with confusion. “She said we need to kiss?”

“Kiss on the forehead, not sexually like that!” Ember scolded him, her voice sharp with disapproval.

She then turned to Nerys, her brows furrowed. “And you? Why do you look like you enjoyed the whole thing?”

Nerys, blushing slightly, pulled back her long tongue and cleared her throat, trying to regain her composure. “That wasn’t how I pictured it either.”

“Pictured? You’re basically in heat,” Ember pointed out, crossing her arms.

As someone known for her purity of heart, she couldn’t stand such behavior.

“And you,” Ember turned to Reign, her voice rising with frustration, “You can’t just force a kiss! This is supposed to be a serious pact!”

“It’s all your fault for not explaining everything,” Reign sighed, a hint of annoyance creeping into his tone.

He might have kissed her, but it was an honest mistake.

Sure, he had some experience with Celine, but that was only because of her special ability.

Left alone, he was basically a walking sociopath when it came to these things. If there were a level for being dense in situations like this, he would rate himself a perfect 10 out of 10.

Nerys sighed, her voice softer than usual. “It’s my fault, maybe we should start over. Let’s just keep it simple this time.”

“Agreed,” Ember added, still a bit flustered. “No more surprises. Just… a normal kiss on the forehead, okay?”

Sure,” Reign responded. He didn’t really care either way.
