Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

2 Days Later

Green Valley City

"What is he doing?" Lilith threw the documents onto her desk after reading the report.

Green Valley was already suspecting that something was wrong.

After they didn't hear anything from some of the industrial cities, the leaders decided to set up defense mechanism.

One of these systems involved sending data trains every hour to connect each city and share information back to Green Valley.

As time went on without any signals coming through, a team of researchers guessed what was happening through data analysis.

They concluded that an invasion happened, with cities being destroyed so quickly that they couldn't even send out distress signals in time.

But she knew it was far from the truth.

Judging by the direction of the destroyed cities, she was absolutely certain it was Reign—he was practically screaming to the world to come after him.

'Does he have a death wish? '

'And how could he even moved that quick?' she pondered to herself, she haven't really seen how fast he could moved before so this was a surprised.

The only other person she had seen move extremely fast since coming to this world was Quill, but that was just a sudden burst of speed, and not consistent moving speed.

However—

'No matter how strong or fast he is, he won't survive a full-on assault from the humans if they get serious.' She sighed heavily.

'Did he really think he can become a Demon King just by consuming humans?'

She questioned, struggling to understand his logic.

Even if he devoured twenty cities' worth of people, it wouldn't be that simple; otherwise, Demon Kings would be far more common.

Moreover, breaking through to Demon King status required more than just vitality. That was no longer the primary factor.

This was why Peak Demon Lords no longer saw humans as a source of increasing their power; vitality had become an ineffective option for them once they reach their limit.

'What are you planning?' she mused, narrowing her eyes.

'Forget it. I don't have time to figure out the thoughts of a psychopath.'

His actions had already set everything in motion, and it would seriously impact her future plans.

'Great, just great,' she muttered, frustration rising. 'Now I have to deal with the fallout from his reckless moves.'

Green Valley was the hub of her operations, and if more powerhouse came here, it would create a difficult situation for her.

In the worst case, they might uncover her involvement, and she had no way to defend herself against them.

"Miss Lilith," one of her subordinates burst into the office, looking stressed.

"What happened?" she asked, already feeling uneasy.

"Miss Lilith!" One of her subordinates rushed into the office, panic evident on his face. "Green Valley has declared that it's giving up its independence to Tempest Fort! "

"What? Are they serious?" she gasped in disbelief.

Completely giving up independence meant they were ready to abandon the entire region just to destroy the threat.

This was no small move; it showed just how serious things had become.

"This isn't good. If they send a force here, it could expose everything we've built. Our operations... it could all come crashing down."

She stopped and faced her subordinate.

"We need to prepare. We have to figure out a way to keep a low profile while this plays out. If they find out what we're really up to…"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

She shook her head, biting her lip. "We can't let that happen."

Tempest Fort - Tempest Federal Palace

The structure stood tall and was made of marbled stones that glimmered in the sunlight.

Huge columns framed the entrance, each one carved with important symbols that represented strength and protection.

The grounds around the building were well-maintained, with lush green gardens and neat paths leading to impressive fountains.

Flags from the five Tier 1 cities in the west fluttered in the wind, showing their unity under one government.

Inside, the halls were decorated with colorful tapestries and smooth white marbled floors that echoed with footsteps.

Large meeting rooms displayed portraits of past leaders, reminding everyone that important decisions were made here.

This place was more than just a building; it was a center of power where plans were made, alliances were formed, and the future of the continent was decided.

In a large white room, a man sat in a chair, dressed in a blue tuxedo.

His silver glasses matched perfectly with his gray hair, giving him a sharp, clean look.

In front of him, a towering blue holographic figure floated, the face was hidden from view.

[ Governor Snider, you're aware this emergency call has drained a significant amount of our resources, right? This technology is still in its early stages, and it's far from efficient,] the holographic figure spoke up.

[I trust you have a good reason for initiating this.]

"Yes," Snider quickly replied with a respectful tone.

Anyone watching would be surprised to see him so deferential, especially considering he was the most influential man in this place.

But in front of him was someone who overshadowed even his influence: the President , the person with the highest authority across the entire continent.

However, the identity of the president remained a mystery.

He preferred to lead from the shadows, and no one really knew his age or even his gender.

People only assumed he was a man because of the deep voice he used during communications.

[Make it quick; I have other matters to attend to,]

"Yes, Mr. President. " Snider responded quickly, not wasting a second.

"I'm requesting full authority to send an army to the Green Valley Region...We've received intel about a possible new type of Numbered corrupted destroying cities. "

[First Brentwood, and now the entire Green Valley? Your area will bankrupt our government,]

Snider's eyes narrowed, feeling insulted by the remark, but he kept his composure.

He admitted that his region's performance had been lacking compared to others.

Frequent accidents had plagued them ever since that strange phenomenon, draining taxpayer money and resources.

Despite this, he couldn't let past failures distract him from the urgent need to act now.
