Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Garon stepped forward, his confidence rising as he soared to the center of the clearing.

"I'll test you," he declared, cracking his knuckles. The muscles in his arms flexed, showcasing his strength. "Let's see if you can back up your words—"

BOOM!

Everyone was momentarily stunned as Garon was sent hurtling through the air, vanishing into the swirling miasma.

Lyra's jaw dropped, her playful demeanor shifting to shock. "Did he just—?"

Elizabeth felt a rush of conflicting emotions—fear for Garon's fate. "Is he okay?" she asked, glancing nervously toward the miasma.

"You see that? That's my boyfriend!" Anna shouted, her voice bright with excitement. She cheered loudly.

Just as they celebrated, a whooshing sound filled the air, drawing their attention back to the miasma.

SWOOOOSH!

It parted dramatically, revealing Garon transformed, his form now radiating a powerful aura.

He clenched his fist, dark brown energy swirling around it as he charged through the air.

"Take this! " Garon shouted, launching himself at Reign like a speeding bullet.

BOOOOOOOM!

Another explosion erupted as Garon's fist connected.

This time, the force was even stronger, sending debris flying in all directions. The ground shook beneath them, and the sheer power of the impact was enough to expand the clearing.

Garon was known for his raw strength, and his punching power could easily take down weaker demon kings in a single blow.

But when the dust settled, Reign remained standing, grinning confidently. He had blocked the attack with one hand, defying the expectations of everyone.

The demon king was momentarily stunned, but before he could say more, Reign threw a punch of his own. The blow landed squarely on Garon's chest, sending him flying backward through the air again.

This time, Garon managed to stop himself before being sent flying into the miasma, but he staggered slightly, clearly feeling the impact of the hit.

"You're a Peak Demon King!" Garon grunted, his voice strained and filled with shock. This was the only explanation that made sense to him.

Demon Kings were divided into three tiers: Beginner, Middle, and Peak. Though they all shared the title, the differences between them were vast.

Beginners were often just starting to understand how to utilize their powers.

Middle-tier Kings, on the other hand, had honed their skills to a level where they could hold their own in a fight against two or three other Demon Kings. Continue your journey with empire

But a Peak Demon King? That was a different league entirely. They possessed not only overwhelming strength but also a deep mastery of their abilities.

"No wonder you're so confident in yourself," Garon conceded, shaking his head. "I admit my loss."

The gap in their power was insurmountable, so vast that even if all the Demon Kings present teamed up against Reign, victory would still be out of reach.

Elizabeth was also taken aback by this unexpected revelation.

She had already considered Reign to be on par with Anna in terms of talent, assuming he was just at Beginner level.

But to learn that he was actually a Peak Demon King, and an above-average one at that, changed everything.

Her mind raced as she reassessed him. This wasn't just some ordinary demon; he possessed a level of power and skill that few could rival.

'What the hell is wrong with this region?'

Elizabeth thought,

'First Anna, then there's Lilith, and now Reign has shown up too. Why are all these overpowered beings emerging from this place?'

This cluster of remarkable individuals was unsettling.

'What was it about this area that attracted such powerful figures?'

If Elizabeth knew that Reign's original body was actually more impressive, she would undoubtedly think there was some sort of magic at play in this region.

Perhaps there was a secret pill hidden away that could instantly boost a demon's power, turning them into formidable beings overnight.

"Did I pass the test, or do you want me to teach you all a lesson?" Reign asked with a challenging smirk on his face.

The atmosphere shifted instantly.

"We apologize for being disrespectful, senior!" all the Demon Kings bowed, their heads lowered in acknowledgment of his strength.

Reign was unaware that Peak Demon Kings were held in high regard, respected for their power .

And age really didn't matter for demons; seniority was based solely on strength. The more powerful you were, the more respect you commanded, regardless of how long you had been alive.

That's why Anna enjoyed so many perks despite being a new member; her rapid growth made her a formidable force, and reaching Peak Demon King status was within her grasp. Yet, when compared to Reign, she still felt like she had room to grow.

Lyra couldn't help but feel annoyed that Anna had secured such a handsome and powerful boyfriend. It stung to see someone she despised claim the attention of someone so impressive.

Reign had never set their relationship straight, leaving the demon kings to believed Anna.

'Senior? I like the sound of that,'

Reign muttered, stroking his chin as he savored the attention.

"So, does this mean you'll be joining the Alliance?" Elizabeth asked, breaking the silence as she shifted her focus back to Reign.

"Depends on the benefits," he shrugged.

The Demon Kings exchanged glances, quickly realizing that they needed to offer something substantial to gain his allegiance.

Garon, still recovering from the earlier blow, piped up, "We can guarantee resources, territory, and a chance to rise through the ranks quickly. With your strength, you could be at the top in no time."

Elizabeth nodded in agreement and added, "Joining the Alliance would give you access to demon relics, like the portals you saw back in the city."

"Demon relics?" he repeated, as it caught his attention, especially if they were as useful as the portals. "What kinds of relics are we talking about?"

Elizabeth's eyes brightened at the opportunity to explain. "There are too many to count and describe, but you can access them in the Abyssal Alliance Capital. It's where most of our important artifacts are stored and maintained."

"Too many to count? Capital?" he trailed off, absorbing her words.

"Alright, count me in."
