Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Chapter 204: Give and Take



[System: Host needs to undergo complete integration. Currently, the host's body is made of this world matter, but your soul is still from your previous world.]

Reign's eyes flickered as he processed the message. What did the system mean when it says that his soul was still from the old world? Does it mean that he was still a human in terms of soul

"Is there any risk of my dying ?" he asked.

[System: None Host, but you have to completely integrate yourself. This will bind you to this world's laws and you would hit a ceiling in the future]

Reign paused, absorbing the gravity of the message.

He thought that tying himself down would cause problems later. It felt like choosing between what's good for now and what might be bad later.

"Are there any other options?" he inquired of the system.

The system had grown more intelligent as he progressed, so he hoped for a solution, given that this concerned his future potential.

[System: Recalculating. Please wait as the system recalibrate to pick the best solution]

Reign's mind raced as he waited for the system's response, his sharp fingers tapping his legs.

Finally, a notification popped up on the screen. He read it eagerly.

[System: Analysis done. Host has two options.]

[Option 1: Override the World Law. ]

> By choosing this, you can bypass the binding process by using all your energy and power, but you'll have to sacrifice all your available stats and start from scratch.

> Your new body and soul would be completely immune to the world law, and your potential would be able to reach Demon God Status in the future without any restriction.

> Note: By choosing this option, your level will revert to level 1, but the experience requirements will remain the same as if you were still at level 40.

[Option 2: Execute an artificial death].

> Using the available seed in your body, you can transfer your soul into it , vacating your current body. Then, you would sacrifice the 2nd body instead of you real body.

> Note, You will only be able to break through Demon Lord Status.

'This is a no-brainer,' Reign thought to himself.

The seed was something he could just buy from the store, so losing it wouldn't be an issue.

It was true that during that time he wouldn't have access to a Second Life, but the first option was worse.

He'd have to start from scratch, and even though there were many humans in this place, he doubted he could regain most of his power with just this much considering that his EXP bar would not be reset.

It would be a different story if there wasn't the threat of an angel trying to kill him. So he couldn't afford to have his stats reset now.

"Option 2, " he ordered.

[System: Activating Full Control of host body and soul, please wait until the process is over ]

When Reign heard the words "full control," he almost cursed out loud. He had no idea the system had the ability to do that.

But before he could say anything, his consciousness shut down, his red eyes turning completely blank as his body froze in place.

[System: Transferring Host Soul to the Seed, chance of success 50%.]

The seed sat close to Reign's core, looking like a real plant seed but bigger, about the size of a thumb, with veins pulsing like a heart.

Slowly, his soul was transferred by the system to the seed, without him being aware of it.

At this moment, his original body experienced true death. If his soul didn't return immediately, recovery would be impossible.

But then, the system acted in an unexpected manner.

[System: Temporary Replacing the Soul]

His original body's eyes shone again, radiating a bright red light.

"Papa?" His body spoke, but the voice that echoed was not Reign's.

Instead, it resonated with the child-like tone of the meta-human that the system had absorbed before in the research lab.

"Papa? " Reign's body began to move in confusion like a clueless child, but before it could take more step, black and red chains coiled around it , forcing it to kneel on the ground and remain still.

"PAPA! PAPA! PAPA! " It struggled against the chains, but they refused to even budged.

[System: Activating Soul Assistance to help host integrate into the Seed.]

As another notification echoed, the system shifted its focus to the delicate task of making sure that Reign's soul could completely adapt inside the seed.

Every detail had to be perfect for the process to succeed.

The system had meticulously considered every variable and was now controlling the whole processed, making sure that no accident happened.

[System: Integration Complete. Commencing Reformation.]

Just like that, the seed inside Reign's original body dug itself out, its root-like limbs piercing through his hard chest before dropping to the ground.

THUD!

As the processed began, the seed on the floor trembled, cracking open to reveal a tiny black-red sprout.

From it, roots snaked out, digging into the floor.

The sprout grew taller, thickening and branching out.

Lean tendrils emerged, weaving together into a structure resembling a small tree, but made of pulsating muscle-like fibers.

As the transformation continued, his second body took shape within the intricate network of fibers.

First, slender limbs started to extend from the base, their tendrils weaving and binding together, forming solid and muscular arms.

The structure grew thicker and stronger, the threads knitting into human-like flesh.

Fingertips emerged, delicate but firm, completing the hands.

Next, the torso began to form.

Layers of fiber tissue intertwined, creating a robust and sturdy frame.

The chest expanded outward, ribs becoming visible as they took shape, encapsulating a simulated heart that pulsed rhythmically.

Abdomen followed, each muscle defined and in place.

As the upper body solidified, the lower limbs started to develop.

The thighs and calves formed, gaining mass and definition, muscles contracting and expanding as if alive.

Feet sprouted, perfectly balanced and stable, ensuring the body could stand tall.

Finally, the head emerged.

Features sculpted with detail, eyes, nose, mouth, and ears took shape, each aspect carefully created to mirror Reign's vision.

The skin-like surface smoothed out, covering the complex network of fibers underneath, giving it a lifelike appearance.

When the transformation was completed, the second body stood fully formed, entirely humanoid, an exact replica of what Reign had designed .

The body looked lifelike, but without the spark of life, it remained just an empty shell.

[System: Using all available Dark Points, Skill Points, and Dark Dust Points to upgrade the second body.]

As the system notification echoed, new cores began to form on the second body, mirroring what Reign had before.

The system was working tirelessly to upgrade the second body, pushing it to reach the breaking point of Peak Upper Level Demon.

[System: Insufficient Required Points to reached Peak Upper Demon Level.]

[System: Converting System Stored Energy and processing power as an alternative resource.]

It began sacrificing its own processing power that it had been storing all this time.

This was the reason it had become smarter.

It had been siphoning 10-20% of the exp Reign gathered whenever he feed, causing the requirements to exponentially increase.

He was unknowingly leveling up both his own body and the system simultaneously.

But all of this was part of a complex design, a give-and-take scenario between the system and him.
