Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Reign decided to leave the library, curious about the recent developments in the Capital and also to complete some unfinished business.

As he walked out of the building where the council was located, he saw Anna, George, and Mellissa waiting for him.

He was surprised to see them. He had thought they were already dead, considering everything that had been happening in the West.

Anna's face lit up, and she quickly ran toward him, hugging him tightly.

"I missed you," she buried her face in his chest.

Reign didn't push her away. For some reason, after reaching Demon God status, his feelings for Cyril and Celine had lessened a bit.

In addition, he didn't dislike Anna as much anymore. Before, there was something inside him that made it hard to see other girls as potential partners, but that feeling seemed to fade after his soul underwent more tempering.

Regardless such things as real romance was still almost impossible for him.

"George, you're still alive? I thought you were dead already. I completely forgot about you with everything that's been going on," Reign began the conversation.

George rolled his eyes. Reign was still very good at getting under his skin.

"And you're still as annoying as ever," George joked, testing to see if Reign would get angry.

But to his surprise, Reign just smiled it off, which seemed like an improvement.

Next, Reign turned to Mellissa. Her face looked the same though now she was wearing expensive clothing. It seemed like they were living well in the capital, probably thanks to Anna's high rank.

"So what are you three doing here?" Reign asked.

Anna was the first to speak. "Actually, I've been waiting here for you. The Alliance leader told me to talk to my real grandfather. And I wanted to see you before I go."

"Your grandfather?" Reign raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," Anna replied. "The Alliance leader said my grandfather is one of the older demon gods who's been in isolation. He asked me to convince him to fight alongside the Alliance."

'I see, so that old man is really serious about uniting all demons,' Reign muttered, touching his chin in thought.

Based on the information he had gathered, many demon gods in this world had chosen to isolate themselves for various reasons.

'This war is massive, so I'm sure most of those old fools will be forced to move,' he added.

"Alright, I'm busy, so you can go on your own," he said, gesturing for her to leave. But Anna clung to him tighter.

This time, he was forced to push her gently. "You're busy too, right? And your grandfather's help is needed by the alliance if we want to survive this war," he explained, trying to get her to leave him alone.

Anna reluctantly let go and closed her eyes. "At least kiss me before I go," she said, her voice soft and insistent.

Reign scratched his head, a little unsure of what to do, and leaned in, planning for a quick peck to wrap things up.

But Anna had other ideas. As he moved closer, she gently cupped his face with both hands, her fingers soft against his skin, and before he could react, she tilted her head and kissed him deeply.

It was more than just a quick kiss—it was warm, passionate, and full of something Reign hadn't expected.

For a moment, he froze, unsure of whether to pull away or just go along with it. Anna, though, seemed completely lost in the moment, as if this was exactly what she'd wanted.

She even softly pulled him closer, her lips and tongue teasing his. He found himself responding, just going with the flow.

When they finally pulled away, both of them breathing a little heavier, Reign wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, trying to act unaffected.

But Anna, smiling wider than he'd ever seen her, was practically glowing, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

"You just molested me," Reign shook his head.

Anna, completely content, just giggled, practically skipping back to George and Mellissa, her smile still as bright as ever.

"I'll be back soon," she called over her shoulder.

Reign watched her go, with a nonchalant attitude.

'Now then, I should probably visit that place,' he muttered, quickly shifting his focus to other matters.

The kiss was already fading from his thoughts. To him, it was just another fleeting moment, something that didn't require much attention.

In fact, if they had slept together, he figured he'd move on just as easily. His mind worked that way—he didn't linger on things that didn't serve a greater purpose for him.

Reign walked toward one of the teleporters at the Alliance's base. As he approached, a worker, a demon with an owl head, looked up and immediately recognized him.

He was now very well-known, especially after what he did with the monolith, where he summoned an actual metal dragon. That alone was impressive.

"Where do you want to go, General Reign?" the owl-headed demon asked, his voice respectful.

He paused for a moment, glancing at the teleporter, then looked back at the demon.

"To Elizabeth's city," he replied.

The owl demon didn't ask any questions. It simply checked the coordinates and adjusted one of the many portals.

Normally, such a request would require written approval from a demon god or a higher-ranking demon. However, his status as Draven's grandson gave him certain perks for having literarily the most powerful backer in the Abyssal Alliance.

With that settled, he stepped into the portal and found himself in her city.

It was livelier than he had expected, and the large number of humans made it feel like he had stepped into a medieval human city.

"State your business here," a couple of demon guards demanded, eyeing him as they approached.

"I am General Reign, and I'm here to speak with Elizabeth," he declared confidently.

Upon hearing his name, the demons immediately recognized him and bowed their heads in respect.

"Welcome to our city, General. Please allow us to escort you to the castle," they said, motioning for him to follow.
