Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World - Chapter 581

Chapter 581: The Stronger One Part 2
Raiden frowned as he watched Reign move through the air with ease. If he didn’t find a way to slow his enemy down, he would be forced to stay on the defensive.

Lifting his right hand, he activated one of the rings on his fingers. The artifact pulsed, and the gravity around them change.

The air grew heavier, the ground cracked, and the pressure would have crushed most beings. It was a move designed to trap his opponent, leaving no room for escape.

But Reign didn’t slow down. He kept moving as if the crushing force didn’t exist, weaving through the air with the same speed.

Reign noticed the confusion on Raiden’s face and smirked. ”

Trying to slow me down?” he asked mockingly. “You’ll have to do better than that.”

Raiden clenched his fists. He couldn’t afford to let this fight spiral out of control.

Raising his hand again, he activated multiple abilities at once. Wind howled, barriers of energy formed to block Reign’s path, gravity intensified to crush him, and beams of light shot toward him with pinpoint accuracy.

He even manipulated the air itself, forcing the molecules to become heavier.

But none of it worked.

Each time Reign moved, the air around him exploded with force, shattering barriers, dispersing the wind, and leaving destruction in his wake.

‘I must admit, all these abilities are troublesome,’ he muttered to himself, a smug grin tugging at his lips.

‘But now that I’ve reached this level…’ His eyes glowed brighter, a mix of pride and malice glinting in them. ‘I’m already far stronger than him.’

The thought fueled his confidence.. Deep down, it wasn’t just about proving his strength—it was personal. .

Reign wanted to teach his father a lesson. The memory of his mother’s death burned in his mind, a wound that had never healed. The sight of his father triggered this memories.

“You had the power,” he muttered, his grip on the Skull Grinder tightening. “You could’ve saved her, but you didn’t. And now, you’ll die.”

“What are you talking about?” Raiden replied, his tone laced with confusion. The accusations caught him off guard.

“It doesn’t matter anymore,” Reign chuckled maniacally. “I’ll kill you first, and then I’ll go after those bastard doctors to make them pay.”

Raiden’s eyes narrowed. “Doctors?”

Reign scoffed, tightening his grip on the Skull Grinder. In an instant, he swung it down.

Once again, the Evil Monarch was forced to rely on his automatic teleportation, vanishing just in time to avoid the crushing blow.

The brief moment of break gave Raiden a chance to think. His mind raced as he pieced together the puzzle.

‘Doctors… wives… his children… letting someone die…’ It all started to make sense.

Raiden’s eyes widened as the pieces clicked into place. There had been an incident years ago, a memory he had almost pushed aside.

He remembered uncovering documents that spoke of inhumane experiments.

Among them was the record of one of his sons being killed in a twisted experiment.

“Are you Reign?” Raiden asked, his tone still filled with skepticism. No matter how he looked at it, he was staring at a creature that barely resembled a human.

Reign’s creepy smile only grew.

“You finally figured it out, didn’t you?” he said, voice dripping with scorn. “Yes, I’m Reign. Or at least, what’s left of him.”

Raiden’s expression darkened. “But how?”

Before the evil monarch could get another word out, a dark read beam of light shot past his heart. It was meant to kill him instantly, and for a moment, it seemed like the attack had succeeded.

But in that split second, one of his rings glowed with intense energy. The ring shattered in a flash of light, and just as quickly, his heart healed.

“I actually died,” Raiden muttered under his breath, a cold sweat forming on his forehead.

What Reign had just done—an attack too fast to dodged—proved that his son was far stronger than him, even with all the power of his artifacts.

His mind began to race, thoughts swirling in disbelief . How had his son become this powerful?

What had he experienced to reach this level of power?

Raiden’s gaze narrowed as he studied Reign. Unlike himself, who relied on his artifacts and rings to bolster his strength, his son didn’t appear to be depending on anything external. The power he was exuding felt pure.

“Are you surprised?” Reign chuckled aloud, his voice dripping with satisfaction. “Well, don’t be. I’m barely showing you what I can do.”

He hovered there, his presence overwhelming, enjoying every moment of the power he held over his father.

The twisted irony of the situation wasn’t lost on him. He knew that there was a chance Raiden hadn’t even known about his existence before his death. But that didn’t matter.

Guilt? Mercy? Those emotions were long gone.

He had sacrificed them a long time ago, and now, standing before Raiden, there was nothing left to hold him back. He had no hesitation, no remorse. He would kill his father without a second thought.

Father and son stared at each other, the tension thick between them.

Raiden wasn’t naive enough to think he could use his position to stop Reign from killing him. He knew his son was too far gone for that to work.

But he still had one option left. He could use everything he had to try to stop his son, but it would drain all his power. He would be pushing himself to the limit, and if Reign countered, the entire world could be destroyed.

“Let’s talk this out,” Raiden suggested.

“What to talk about?” Reign sneered, his voice filled with contempt. “After I kill you, I’ll destroy everything you’ve created here—this world, all your children, everything.”

The evil monarch’s face hardened, his expression turning dead serious.

“I’ll have to teach you a lesson,” Raiden declared. “Let’s take this fight to space—where we can unleash everything we’ve got, without holding anything back.”

Reign laughed, his voice filled with amusement. “Space? You’re in a hurry to die, aren’t you?”
