Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World - Chapter 51

Chapter 51: The Real Deal
“Reign…” George was stunned by the confirmation.

He couldn’t believe how much Reign change in just one night. What kind of crazy growth was that?

Moreover, he sensed something fundamentally different about him, something much deeper than just an increase in power .

“What happened ?”

***

Last night

[Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing the BETA-TEST and meeting the minimum requirements for the Evolution Chain]

[Downloading the real Ultimate Mutation System.]

[Downloading Complete.]

‘Beta Test? Real? ‘ Reign muttered to himself, his mind swirling with confusion.

He couldn’t fathom that what he had been using all this time wasn’t the real system.

“This fucking system ..” He curse aloud in frustration, but he paused, considering that perhaps the system was testing his worthiness. If he had died earlier, it would have been game over.

‘What about this Evolution Chain?’ he mused, redirecting his attention to the present.

The word was entirely new to him, sparking a sense of curiosity. Fortunately, a new window appeared, offering a detailed explanation of this unfamiliar term

[After reaching Level 25, host could select a DNA of a creature from this realm. Previously, the Host’s race had been determined by a random gene generator/Mixer, devoid of any legacy or bloodline, thus limiting efficiency and potential. ]

[Available Race : Bronze Rank to Gold Rank ]

Werewolf

Ghoul

Fairy

Ghost

Elemental

<More>

As Reign glanced at the number of races before him, the scroll slider seemed to shrink under the weight of countless options.

This sight alone made him aware of the inferiority of his old system compared to the genuine one.

‘I need to choose the best one,’ he thought to himself, fully aware of the weight of his decision. The choice he made now would serve as the cornerstone of his future development.

He began reading through the options meticulously, aware that each choice came with its own set of advantages and drawbacks.

Reign remained composed, resisting the urge to act impulsively, and continued to examine each option thoroughly until he reached the end.

[Ding: System Detected that Host already own a legendary Bloodline, however this bloodline could not exist in this realm ]

[Would you like to sacrifice your own bloodline to gain access to Legendary Bloodlines]

“Yes,” Reign replied immediately, his decision made without a moment’s hesitation.

Just the word “legendary” was enough to convince him.

What was a gold rank in comparison? Why should he settle for less?

Regarding the legendary bloodline he possessed, he guessed that it must have originated from his father.

To think that his cursed bloodline could actually help him right now was a welcome surprise.

Of course, this benefits was enough to alter his perspective on his estranged father in any way.

[Legendary Bloodlines]

Titan

Spacial Walker

Destroyer

Bone-spirit

Skull fiend

Unlike the number of bloodlines available before, Reign saw that there were only five options in the Legendary rank.

This limited selection hinted that only these five were deemed legendary in the eyes of the system.

The silver lining was in the extensive branches of the Legendary Rank, offering more advancement in the long run.

For instance, the Ghoul evolution offered paths such as , Vampire, Vampire Noble, and Vampire Lord.

In comparisons , the Titan progression included stages like Titan, Grand Titan, Supreme Titan, Colossus, Behemoth,, and Apocalypse Titan.

He mulled over the description of the Titan race with careful consideration.

He found it reassuring that the new system was incredibly helpful, providing not only detailed descriptions but also visuals of the races and all other important information.

The temptation of its formidable strength was irresistible, offering unparalleled raw power and resilience on the battlefield.

According to the description, at its peak, the Titan’s skin was so tough that it could withstand an attack capable of obliterating an entire city.

However, as he delved deeper into it, he couldn’t shake a sense of hesitation.

The sheer size of a Titan’s body would make him a towering presence on the battlefield, drawing attention from allies and foes alike.

Even in the initial stage, he would grow to around 20 feet in size, towering as tall as a two-story building.

Concealing his massive body would be impossible, rendering him a walking target for every hunter in the area. He would face constant danger of being hunted down.

‘Shit, this thing is overpowered, but I can’t pick it. What a bummer,’ Reign sighed to himself, feeling heartbroken.

Next, he turned his attention to the Walker Race.

He was fascinated by the agility and speed of the Walker Race .

The system explained that this race’s evolutionary branch could lead to impressive speed, allowing it to teleport short distances.

However—

The small size of the Walker Race, standing at a mere two feet tall, gave him pause.

While this type of body undoubtedly contributed to its nimbleness, it also made him wary of its vulnerability in combat situations.

Additionally, the softness of its skin presented another concern, in the description it says that this race was weak against all elements.

Despite the temptation of being able to teleport, Reign found himself unable to overlook these drawbacks.

What’s the use of being fast if the enemy could one-shot him?

Reign proceeded to examine the Destroyer Race. Its imposing stature, with a ten-foot-tall body adorned with protruding muscles, four arms, red skin, and two menacing horns, certainly commanded attention.

However, he found himself apprehensive about the multiple passive Berserk skills it boasted. The prospect of these abilities potentially wreaking havoc on his mind dissuaded him from considering this option further.

Already mentally unstable, he feared that further exposure to such crazy mindset would destroy him.

The Bone Spirit Class piqued his interest.

Spirits, ethereal beings unbound by physical constraints, possessed a range of unique characteristics and advantages.

Firstly, their incorporeal nature granted them unparalleled maneuverability and stealth, allowing them to traverse through obstacles and remain undetected by conventional means.

Moreover, spirits wielded powerful supernatural abilities, such as telekinesis, invisibility, and manipulation of the elements.

The main drawback was the Walker Race’s vulnerability to light.

Choosing this race meant Reign had to steer clear of daytime activities to avoid being harmed by sunlight until he evolved further. Additionally, holy elements and fires were highly effective against this race.

Lastly, there was the Skull-fiend, it lacked any standout characteristic compared to the others.

However, one evolution along its path caught Reign’s attention. The Skullfiend had the potential to transform into an Overlord , granting it power over death.

This ability allowed it to raise an army of undead beings and, at the same time, revive itself as long as its soul remained intact.

He realized that instead of striving to become a Titan or other powerful legendary race, he could simply find the corpse of one and transform it into his slave.

At the same time, he had the option to use mutation, allowing him to continually alter this race to compensate for its weaknesses.

[Skull fiend ]

He decided to choose this race due to its flexibility and appearance.

Although it might appear bony at first, its height resembled that of a human the most. Additionally, he considered the possibility of acquiring someone else’s skin to use for a more human-like appearance.

“AAAAHHHHHHH!” Reign screamed in agony as the transformation began, feeling an unbearable amount of pain coursing through him.
