Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

[Lightning element is the most powerful natural element in terms of penetrating and destructive power, so host needs a body that can withstand such pressure. I suggest you wait to reach Demon God status before trying to combine the two.]

"Okay, that makes sense," he replied, nodding in agreement.

Right now, the limitation of his lightning power was more about his endurance and durability rather than the amount of energy he could produce.

So, having two lightning cores wouldn't really give him that much benefits.

Plus, he didn't want to end up regretting his choices.

The last time he ignored the system's warning, he found himself in big trouble.

'So now that's all taken care of, did I miss anything?' he wondered, glancing over his status window again.

'Oh, I almost forgot about it!' he chuckled, shaking his head at his own forgetfulness.

This was one of the major reasons why he wanted to reach level 100 as soon as possible.

[Ding!]

[Analysis : Meta-human]

[Cost : 5,000 Skill Points]

[Estimated Analysis Time : 6 months]

"Six months... that's a long time," he mused, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

The skill points weren't a problem. He could farm them much faster than before, so spending 5,000 was nothing.

What really bothered him was the time—6 months to analyze. That felt like an eternity.

At that rate, he could very well be a Demon God already, or even something stronger than that, especially considering the system hinted at a level far higher.

But if this analysis was what he thought it was—full insight into the power of meta-humans—it would open a new door for him to be really at the top.

'System, is there any way to speed it up ?'

[Processing...]

[If host store more meta-humans, the speed time would be cut down .]

His eyes lit up at the system's response.

"How many do I need?"

[Estimated time reduction is proportional to the number of Meta-humans consumed. Each one reduces the analysis time by 5-30 days depending on their power level and other variables.]

"That's not bad at all," he nodded in satisfaction .

Tempest Fort should be filled with Meta-humans, like a goldmine just waiting to be explored.

Still, he knew he had to be careful when dealing with them.

It was important to know their powers first before making any big moves.

With everything planned out in his mind, he decided it was time to leave this place.

The tests he had conducted had generated a lot of energy and destruction, which made this place unsafe. It was time to move on and find a safer spot to hide for a while.

SWOOOSH!

He flew west, scanning the landscape below.

Soon, he spotted a secluded clearing surrounded by small sand hills—an ideal spot for hiding out.

Once he landed , he surveyed the area. It was quiet just what he needed.

'I think it's a good time to test some of my new skills,'

He raised his hands and focused on the small magnetic nodes throughout his body.

They weren't very visible anymore since he had adjusted their positions, but the one in his palm would stick out a little whenever he needed to concentrate.

He aimed the node at the ground beneath him. As he focused hard, the earth began to part slowly, creating a hole that would serve as his hiding spot.

Feeling more confident, he concentrated even more.

The ground shifted quickly, and soon he had a nice-sized hole where he could hide.

Once he jumped inside, he turned his attention to sealing it back up.

Using his magnetic powers, he pulled the sand back over the hole, covering it completely and making it look like nothing had changed.

'This place is perfect,' he said to himself, feeling a sense of satisfaction before closing his eyes.

When he opened it again, he found himself staring at the ceiling of his hotel room.

He stretched his legs and glanced at the clock on the wall—it was already late.

He walked over to his desk and picked up his phone.

As he expected, Lilith had reached out to him after he left his number in the note.

Reign dialed her number back, and waited for her to answer.

After a few rings, he finally heard her voice on the other end. (Hello?)

"How was she?"

(Is that really the first thing you're gonna ask me after making me babysit your girlfriend?) Lilith sighed, a hint of frustration in her voice.

She felt a little hurt that someone of her status and power had to do all of this just to please him.

But despite her frustration, she reminded herself of the bigger picture and the importance of maintaining their alliance.

"Don't worry. I'll make it up to you as long as you make sure to follow my orders," he assured her.

Lilith felt the urge to protest, but she decided against it after recalling how stubborn he could be.

Arguing with him was like trying to move a mountain; it would never end well.

She even felt tempted to reveal the truth—that he was being influenced by half Meta-humans—but she held back.

Lilith knew that sharing this information could backfire on her, especially since she wasn't sure how much control those half Meta-humans actually had over him.

(By the way, you've been making a lot of noise. Are you aware that Tempest Fort forces is already joining in? This place is now a hot zone because of you.)

"Relax, I've got this," he replied confidently. "Now, about those orders..." Experience more tales on empire

She noticed how adamant he was about the topic, so she decided to address it first before moving on.

(I already bought the tickets for all of them. They'll be on their way in two days,)

(What are you planning? Why are you sending them away? I hope you don't plan to create trouble in this place?)

"It depends. By the way, how is your search for the key?"

He shifted the conversation back to something more pressing.

Lilith's expression changed as he brought it up,

(I found the entrance! )
