Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

"You're finally back," Aiku said casually, pretending as if she had the authority over him, knowing there were too many witnesses around.

She wasn't wearing a hazmat suit and showed no concern about being infected, thanks to the antibodies Reign had given her.

Creating a virus was his power, so naturally, he could also develop an anti-virus to protect those loyal to him.

She immediately led him to the study room so they could talk about the current situation of the city and the status of the task he assigned her.

<Inside the Study Room>

"Good work," Reign grinned at her. It was supposed to be a compliment, but his sadistic nature made it unsettling.

Instinctively, she took a step back.

Unlike the soldiers, she knew his true evil nature and couldn't help but feel threatened in his presence despite being his accomplice. In her opinion , she was only a disposable pawn in his eyes .

"Did you do what I asked you to? What's the status of Angela?" he inquired, his tone sharp. He had ordered her with putting Angela under a 24/7 surveillance.

Aiku nodded quickly.

"Yes, Master. she is still in the city, inside the most expensive penthouse in 27 high Street. She seems to be aware that someone was watching her, but she hasn't made any big moves yet. She's mostly staying in her room"

"I see," he nodded in understanding.

It was strange that Angela hadn't made any moves even after he left the city. Maybe she was just that confident in her abilities, or perhaps she had a way to track him down.

"Keep monitoring her closely," he instructed Aiku. "I don't want any surprises."

Reign was a vengeful person at heart, and Angela had made a grave mistake by treating him like a fool.

.

He would show her that anyone who dared to take advantage of him would suffer in the end.

"Yes, Master. I'll ensure constant surveillance."

"Good," he nodded, his mind already shifting to his grand plan.

For now, his focus needed to be on the Open Pit Mine and the pile of corpses waiting form him there.

"Prepare me a ride to the mine" he repeated. "I need to be there as soon as possible."

Aiku nodded and hurried off to make the necessary arrangements. Reign watched her go, a creepy smile playing on his lips as he enjoyed the perks of having a competent lackey.

The pieces of his plan were falling into place, and soon, he would reached another heights of power.

In just ten minutes, a black heavy duty pick up truck was ready for him. It wasn't electric but a genuine, gas-powered machine that polluted the air.

'Now this is real ride' , Reign thought with a smirk.

The truck's engine roared to life as he climbed into the driver's seat, feeling the raw power beneath him.

VROOOOOM!

VROOOOOM!

VROOOOOM!

Every time he revved the engine, it felt like his ears were being blessed.

This was something electric vehicles could never replicate.

They could install speakers to mimic the sound, but nothing would ever come close to the real roar of a motor engine.

As for air pollution, that was none of his concern.

This world was already filled with toxic black miasma; air pollution from a vehicle wouldn't even make a difference.

VROOOOOM!

With everything in place, he drove off towards the Open Pit Mine, eager to gain a bunch of levels.

Reign drove along the highway until he reached a point where the asphalt abruptly ended, merging into a dirt road.

The ground was rough, jarring the truck with every bump and dip.

After a few hours, the terrain began to change.

The ground became more uneven, and large craters dotted the landscape, but it was easily by passed thanks to the high suspension of his truck.

Finally, he arrived at the Open Pit Mine.

The place was massive, a gaping hole on the ground.

But he had no time to be amazed, because something much more amazing was happening below.

A line of trucks filled with men could be seen, dumping thousands of dead bodies.

Aiku took careful measures to block information and avoid causing panic, ensuring that the true death count remained undisclosed.

Next, she also instructed some of the military to check on houses, especially those who attended the concert, and then bring in the dead bodies without making too much commotion.

Because all her commands were logical, none really suspected that she was doing all of this to serve an all-you-can-eat buffet for her evil master.

According to her reports to him, the number had already reached 20,000+ and was steadily rising.

'That woman sure is useful,' he chuckled sadistically. He had to admit, she had done her job perfectly.

He might have planned everything, but she was the one who executed everything.

Reign remembered a saying from his old world.

'Behind every successful men are women who knew how to shut up and listen.' He mused to himself.

'Well, I am pretty sure it wasn't the exact saying, but it was pretty close,' Reign added with a smirk as he drove toward the bottom.

"Please stop, this is a restricted area," one of the military personnel guarding the place called out.

"Don't worry, I came here to help you dispose the dead bodies. I'm from the Disease Control Department in Green Valley," Reign assured, handing over the fake document he had prepared.

It had Aiku's signature, and to bolster its authenticity, he had instructed her to call ahead of time about her arrival.

"So you're that virus expert who came here to help us!" the military exclaimed, relieved at the prospect of assistance from a Tier 3 city.

At this point, any help was good news.

"That's right, I came to help dispose of these bodies first," Reign explained.

"They are dangerous, and we must ensure that they won't contaminate the land and air further. I want you to assign me a storage unit that can hold 1000-2000 corpses, because I will be using a special type of liquid solution to dissolve the bodies."

"Yes, sir!" they responded in unison, ready to get to work.

They didn't know what kind of technology he would be using, but if he was from a Tier 3 city, it must be very advanced.

After 15 minutes, the military personnel led Reign to a large storage area situated near the center of the pit.

It was a sturdy, concrete structure with multiple levels, resembling a warehouse. The building had been repurposed for storing equipment and supplies during the mine's operational days

As they entered, the air was thick with the scent of mold, a smell that showed just how old this structure was.

The interior was dimly lit, and inside were around 2000+ bodies that had been transferred there as per his order.

"This is the storage area we've allocated for you, sir," one of the military personnel explained.

Reign nodded in approval, surveying the space with a satisfied smile. It was suitable for his needs, providing enough room to carry out his plan to feast on corpses without any disturbance.

"This is good enough," he remarked. "You can leave now. What I will do here is top secret."
