Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Imagine if he did that. Every time he met someone, he\'d say, "I\'m Reign! ," like he was some kind of multibillionaire hero who was always prepared .

It would be unnecessary because 99.99% of the people he met would end up dead anyway.

"I know it, my name has long been forgotten," she sighed, hinting that she used to be someone well-known.

Unfortunately for her, Reign was from a different world, so he would not know about her regardless.

"What are you and what do you want?" he asked, getting straight to the point.

Lilith smiled at his question, her lips curling.

"You know about angels, right? So, that means you\'ve already met one."

"I killed two," he replied, trying to intimidate her.

Lilith burst into a soft laughter. "You killed two angels? Impressive," she said between giggles. "But those were just vessels. The real deal can kill demon gods with ease."

Reign didn\'t reply. He just stayed alert, watching her closely.

"Don\'t worry, I\'m not doubting your power for killing a vessel. Besides, angels are hypocrites and annoying so I don\'t blame you for killing them," she added with a sly smile on her face.

"You haven\'t answered my question," he interjected.

"You\'re very impatient," she sighed, her voice carrying a hint of amusement rather than hostility.

"You could say I\'m the polar opposite of angels—a devil," she declared proudly, expecting him to be shocked by her sudden revelation.

"Okay," he nodded calmly, unfazed.

He had already assumed that if angels existed, devils couldn\'t be far behind.

\'This woman might just be a vessel too,\' he thought, sensing no immediate danger from her.

If that were the case, there was a probability that he was currently stronger, especially since she didn\'t act arrogantly or make any moves to attack him, which led him to assume she lacked confidence in winning.

\'Interesting\' Lilith was curious after hearing his nonchalant reply.

She waited for him to break the silence.

Seconds ticked by, but he remained quiet. In this standoff, the one who spoke first risked losing ground, and he was determined not to be the one to give in.

"I\'m not here to fight. Instead, I want to offer you a partnership," she finally broke the silence, unable to hold it any longer.

There was a reason why she wanted to work with someone as powerful as Reign, and she also didn\'t see any merits in fighting him.

Reign studied Lilith\'s face, searching for any hint of deception.

Her offer took him by surprise, because he hadn\'t expected collaboration from someone he initially viewed as a potential threat.

Normally, he would tell her to fuck off, but her demeanor showed no sign of lies.

"What kind of partnership?" he asked cautiously, keeping his tone neutral.

Lilith smiled, glad that he was willing to talk.

"A mutually beneficial one," she replied. "I have resources and knowledge that could be of use to you. Together, we could achieve far more than either of us could alone."

Reign paused for and thought about her offer carefully.

\'Do I really need a partner?\' he pondered.

He already had an overpowered and greedy system as his companion, so he felt there was no need to collaborate with her.

However, the issue now was that she knew about him, putting him in a difficult situation.

"I don\'t need an ally right now, and I\'m not exactly looking for one," he replied firmly.

"I see.." Lilith looked disappointed for a moment, but she didn\'t take it to heart.

Her expression shifted to a thoughtful look as she considered her next move. "That\'s too bad. If we can\'t be allies, how about not being enemies?" she offered.

\'Is she really a devil?\' Reign was puzzled.

Why did he feel that she was less annoying and arrogant than the angels he had met?

Shouldn\'t it be the opposite?

Or are devils so skilled at deceiving others that he couldn\'t see through her facade?

\'I need to be careful,she might be more dangerous than I thought,\' he made a mental note not to trust her words too easily.

"And how can I be sure that you won\'t betray me?" he asked.

Trusting a devil\'s word would be a foolish move; they were called the devil for a reason.

"I can sign a contract," she suggested.

"And what can a piece of paper do?" he sighed, feeling like she was treating him like an idiot.

Even humans often ignored contracts, so what use could it have for powerful beings like them?

"I\'m not talking about just any contract." Lilith raised her hand, and a flame ignited, revealing a parchment made of human skin.

Strange symbols adorned it, in a language he didn\'t understand, but he could sense its extraordinary nature.

"This is the Devil\'s Contract," Lilith explained solemnly. "It\'s a powerful tool for binding agreements. If we use it, betrayal would mean death as the only way out, regardless of a person\'s strength."

"And you expect me to sign it?" he asked skeptically.

Why would he sign a strange document from hell?

"Don\'t worry, you don\'t have to sign. But I can sign here that I would never tell anyone that you\'re here… the wanted rogue demon that destroyed Crestwood City, right?" she pointed out.

His expression hardened at her mention of Crestwood City, silently acknowledging that she possessed knowledge that could potentially threaten him.

Lilith also noticed the sudden shift in his aura, but she intentionally did it

"I told you what I know because I want you to trust me. I might be a devil, but I am far more trustworthy than those angels. We always follow our contract ,"

"Let me see it first," Reign\'s tail extended and coiled around the contract, bringing it closer for inspection.

"It\'s no use; you won\'t be able to understand the devil\'s language. I need to help you translate the content," she explained.

"No need for that," Reign shook his head, and use analyzed.

Just like that, the whole document was auto-translated.

He read through it and was impressed by how detailed it was, considering she had just offered it.

\'Can this contract read minds?\' he wondered, noting its thoroughness, especially the clause about her not divulging information about him being in the city.

However, he also spotted some loopholes that could potentially be used against him.

The contract did not specify a duration.

If circumstances changed or if Lilith found a way to interpret the terms loosely, she could exploit this to reveal information about him in the future.

There were also vague references to situations where disclosure might be deemed necessary for her safety or to fulfill other obligations

This could allow her to justify revealing sensitive information under certain circumstances, potentially compromising him.

Although divulging his presence here would lead to death as stipulated, the conditions triggering termination of the contract were vaguely defined.

If she found a way to trigger these conditions without technically betraying him, she might escape the consequences while still harming him.

\'Can he really read it?\' she wondered silently, observing him closely as he focused on the contract.
