Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

"Give me the information you gathered," he ordered.

He decided not to pushed her for now, wanting to steer clear of any issues like he had with Aika, especially since he was close to reaching level 100.

Back then, even the system hadn't fully protected him, so wanted to at least reach the Demon King Rank for better protection.

He had simply come to check on her and make sure she was still in the city, and under the impression that her life was in his hands.

Aiku leaned across the table, scanning the room before speaking and handing him a USB drive.

"This has the latest information I gathered," she said in a low voice.

"Is this information useful?"

"Yes, Master. My new body is now the secretary and secret lover of the current Hunter Association Director, so I managed to get top secret info directly from his mouth."

'Secret lover?,'

In the past, he wouldn't have given it much thought.

But now, with his own experiences, he quickly pieced things together.

Not that he cared what she did with her body; her usefulness was what mattered most."

"You said you're his lover, right? So does that mean you can possess him?"

"Yes, Master. I've been doing it already; I only need a couple more days," she responded, pride evident in her tone.

"Good job," he nodded in satisfaction. He was glad he hadn't tried to kill her; losing this kind of advantage would have be a waste.

"Here's your order, Sir." the waitress said with a cheerful smile, placing his drink and cake on the table.

The rich aroma of caramel wafted through the air as he picked up the cup, taking a slow sip.

He savored the sweet taste, letting it linger on his tongue before turning to Aiku, who waited patiently.

"Update me if you successfully possess him," he instructed.

"Yes, Master"

"And just to make sure you're safe, do you think you're being followed ?" he asked, leaning back in his chair.

"Not that I know of,"

"How about any strange people trying to approach you?" he pressed, his gaze steady.

"None at all," she shook her head, a hint of confusion crossing her face.

Why he had suddenly become interested in her life puzzled her, but she attributed it to her usefulness now that she was close to possessing the director.

His eyes narrowed as he studied her, trying to see if she was being honest.

But he found it hard to read her because she was not acting suspicious at all.

Plus, asking her more would only raise her suspicion, so he decided not to press too much.

She didn't seem to have any knowledge about Aika yet.

With that in mind, he shifted the topic to something else.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"One more thing...You have the ability to see souls, right?" he asked, looking directly at her.

"So what do you see in me right now?"

His curiosity was driven by a desire to understand his second body better.

He had attempted to ask the system about it before, but it only provided answers to specific questions.

She took a moment to gather herself before activating her ability.

Previously, she had refrained from using it out of fear of offending him.

As she glimpsed through his soul, she expected it to be like last time, where a barrier or fog obscured her vision.

But this time, she saw something much more concrete—so concrete, in fact, that it startled her.

"What are you seeing?"

She took a breath, focusing her vision. "It's… a golden eye in a reverse pyramid,"

Reign raised his eyebrows, surprised by her description.

"An eye inside a reverse pyramid ? Are you sure?

"Yes, Master"

He hurriedly asked the system, 'What's the reason for this change?'

[System: Host, whenever you transform into your angelic body, your soul serves as a catalyst, activating a manifestation blueprint within it. This blueprint takes on an appearance that reflects divine essence, much like other angels.]

'Wait, so the harp she saw before with Angela wasn't her soul?'

[System: Affirmative.]

'Did you create the reverse pyramid when forming my second body?'

[System: Negative. Divine essence follows certain rules that even the system has no data.]

He tried to ask for more details, eager to understand why that particular symbol manifested in his angel body.

However, the system could only respond that it might be related to his own soul, leaving him frustrated and still searching for answers.

(So it's another thing the system doesn't know) he mused inwardly, using his technique to hide his real thought.

The reason he was obsessed with figuring out the reverse pyramid was that it resembled his father's emblem, the mark of the evil monarch.

He had a strong feeling that this was tied to his bloodline.

According to the madman, his bloodline held the key to freeing him from the system's influence. The coincidence was too irregular.

With this new information, he made a mental note to keep it hidden in his consciousness, a place the system couldn't access.

He then composed himself, and redirected his focus back to Aiku.

"You can go now. If you feel like someone is following you, contact me immediately."

"Thank you, Master,"

After settling everything, he left the cafe to search for a hotel.

To stay safe, he took multiple taxis, making sure no one could easily track him. He even stopped by a mall to buy a laptop.

After a while, he checked into a secluded hotel, and got himself a room.

He set up his laptop and plugged in the USB drive.

The information Aiku provided was more in-depth than he expected, and he had to admit it was valuable.

One detail particularly caught his attention: Tempest Fort had declared that they would be intervening in response to the growing number of destroyed cities.

This shift in power dynamics would have significant implications for his plans.

But it was within his expectations; he knew he would have to go toe-to-toe with the government sooner or later.

This was just the beginning of a larger confrontation he had been anticipating.

'Alright, time to level up,'
