Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World - Chapter 511

Chapter 511: Peak of the World Part 3
Reign finally knelt after understanding the meaning behind the Demon God’s words. He didn’t really mind, as he had already achieved his goal of drawing Draven’s attention.

“Good, now that the formalities are over, all of you can stand up,”

His tone was friendly, like a typical grandpa talking to his grandchildren.

“What’s your name, demon?” Draven inquired.

“My name is Reign,” he answered. There was no need to hide it since Anna had already gossiped about him.

“Reign?” Draven touched his chin .

“Is there something wrong with my name?”

The Demon God shook his head. “No, not at all. I just remembered my son. He always said he would name my grandchild Reign if it was a boy, so I find your name interesting.”

“So you have a grandchild with the same name as mine?”

Draven let out a heavy sigh. “Unfortunately not. My son disappeared a long time ago before giving my one, and I haven’t heard from him since.”

“Oh, maybe I’m your long-lost grandson,” Reign joked. He knew it was impossible, considering he was from another world.

The Demon God began to laugh. “I would be glad to have a grandchild as talented as you. Unfortunately, I don’t sense my bloodline in you.”

The two chatted casually, leaving Elizabeth and Lyra shocked.

They knew that Draven was more easygoing than the other gods, but they couldn’t shake the feeling that he was favoring Reign too much.

Upon closer inspection, they noticed some similarities in their facial features. Reign’s joke only fueled their speculation.

After their conversation ended, Draven raised his hand, and a medallion floated into view.

The medallion bore the emblem of a golden skull adorned with a prominent horn.

Above the skull, three stars glimmered, signifying the rank.

“A three-star Demon General!” Lyra exclaimed in disbelief .

Such a rank for a new recruit was unheard of. No matter how one looked at it, Draven seemed to be showing favoritism.

‘Is he planning to make him his successor?’ she wondered.

After all, his talent was off the charts, and his growth rate was nothing short of extraordinary.

Elizabeth shared the same thoughts. She knew that Draven had been considering retirement after holding his position for so long.

The only reason he hadn’t stepped down was the fear that the balance of power would collapse without his leadership.

His son was meant to take over, but he had vanished nearly a hundred years ago.

Once the strongest demon of his era, Draven’s son had reached Peak Demon God status in just 14 years.

However, despite his immense talent and power, he was known for being introspective.

Unlike other demons who thrived on battle, he was more interested in research and developing technology.

In fact, he was the one who had made the portals possible. His groundbreaking work in teleportation magic had revolutionized travel for demons.

But his thirst for knowledge was unquenchable, and it drove him to push boundaries that others dared not approach.

Unfortunately, one of his experiments led to a catastrophic incident that erased his entire territory, along with him.

Draven had searched tirelessly for his son, but his efforts yielded no results. Over time, everyone came to assume the worst.

“Three-star Demon General? Is that even a high rank?” Reign inquired, accepting the medallion with a curious glance.

Lyra and the other demons present fought the urge to punch him for treating such a high rank with such disrespect.

“It’s the highest I can offer for someone of your caliber,” Draven replied.

“Don’t worry. Once you gain more accolades, you can easily rise to five stars… And with the current problem with the devils , you’ll have plenty of opportunities to prove yourself.”

“Devils?” Reign’s ears perked up. “Are you saying that Lilith isn’t the only one we need to hunt down?

Draven leaned back in his chair. “She’s the most dangerous right now, but I’m more concerned about what happens after she opens the gates of hell. Beings that could be even stronger than me will flood this worlds in droves.”

“Are you sure she’s going to open hell?” he asked.

“Yes, and once she succeeds, both demons and humans will be at risk of extinction. No matter how similar demons and devils may seem, we are still fundamentally different species.”

Reign understood where the Demon God was coming from. This news complicated matters even further for him, especially since Lilith had taken Celine and Cyril hostage.

“Do you have a way to track her down?” he inquired.

This was one of the main reasons he had risked coming to this place to join the alliance. He needed to locate Lilith as soon as possible.

Draven contemplated for a moment. The ability to track the devil was top-secret information, but he felt fond of Reign. He reminded him of his son too much.

“You all can leave now. General Reign and I need to discuss important matters,” he commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument.

This left a bitter taste in the mouths of the other Demon Kings. The knowledge that Reign would have access to information reserved only for Demon Gods made them feel small and insignificant.

It felt as though all their efforts and loyalty amounted to nothing.

Though their egos were bruised, they had to admit that Reign was far stronger and possessed more potential than any of them.

It was only natural that he received more benefits and attention.

When they left, the door closed, and Draven gestured for Reign to take a seat in one of the chairs.

Reign paused, noticing that each chair bore its own insignia.

“Are you sure? I thought these chairs were reserved for the council member,” he asked.

“Don’t worry about it. With your potential, it will only be a matter of time before you secure a position for yourself,”

‘Oh, this old man isn’t so bad… he actually recognizes how great I am,’

With the Demon God’s assurance, he took a seat to continue their conversation.

“So, how exactly do you plan to track her down?”
