Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World-Chapter 648: Taking In Part 2

Kang lowered his head and bowed deeply, staying silent. He didn't dare say anything that could make Reign angry.

"Thank you for accepting someone so unworthy like me to be your student."

"At least you know your place."

Reign waved his hand, and two chairs appeared out of nowhere—solid and detailed.

Kang stared in disbelief. There were no hand signs, no spirit energy, nothing. They just formed.

'Is this some ancient technique?' he wondered. 'Or something even beyond that?'

"Now..." Reign's voice pulled him back to focus.

"I've been isolated for a long time and just woke up. So tell me everything you know about this world—start from the beginning."

Kang wasn't surprised. In this world, some beings lived for millions of years. Others found ways to undergo nirvana and return in new forms. He was the same—though how he was reborn here remained a mystery.

He sat straighter and began explaining.

"This land is called the Azure Realm. Two main nations rule most of it: the Skyreach Dominion up north, and the Flamecrest Empire in the south. There are smaller regions too, but they don't have much control."

He paused to check if Reign was still listening.

"How does your power work? I saw some glowing rings behind you when you used your abilities," Reign asked. The question was odd, but he answered anyway.

He assumed that his new master was from another world—one that used a different power system, just like him.

"When kids turn six, they awaken their spirit energy. Some awaken tool spirits—like weapons or simple gear. Others awaken beast spirits—those give them animal-like powers for battle. Once they awaken, they begin training and collecting spirit marks."

"To grow stronger, spirit users must absorb marks from spirit beasts. The older the beast, the stronger the mark. Most people can only handle ten-year or hundred-year marks. A thousand-year mark is rare. Ten thousand? Only elite warriors can survive those. A hundred thousand? That's legendary."

He lowered his voice.

"Marks that come from million-year beasts… almost no one believes those are real."

Reign nodded. This world's power system was deeper and more exciting than the one he came from.

"How can you tell how old a spirit ring is?"

"White rings come from beasts that are about 100 to 300 years old. These are the weakest spirit rings. Blue rings are from beasts that are 1,000 to 10,000 years old, so they are stronger and more valuable. Purple rings come from beasts that are 10,000 to 100,000 years old, which is very rare and powerful. When a ring turns gold, it means the beast is over a million years old."

"Also, not all rings with the same color are equal. It depends on the strength of the pressure the ring gives off. Even two gold rings can be different if one has more pressure, meaning the beast it came from was stronger."

Reign tapped his chin, eyes bright with curiosity. He asked more questions, like a kid who just found a new playground.

Reign leaned back, a sly smile curling on his lips. "Alright, you've answered all my questions. Now, I'll grant you three wishes. Choose wisely—these aren't gifts to waste."

Kang's eyes widened. Three wishes. That was no small offer.

"Think carefully. Once you speak, there's no going back."

Silence stretched between them.

He could ask to be set free, but that would waste a rare chance. Reign was powerful—he must have heaven defying treasures.

"Please help me catch a hundred-thousand-year beast."

"A hundred thousand? Not a million?" Reign raised an eyebrow.

"Forgive me, Master. It's not that I doubt your power, but finding a million-year beast in the wild is nearly impossible. Most of them are kings of their own empires. Besides, I'm not strong enough yet to absorb a beast that old."

"Oh? Why's that? What happens if you try to absorb one?"

Kang took a deep breath before answering. "If I try to absorb a million-year beast now, my body might not handle its power. It could overwhelm me and cause serious harm, maybe even kill me. I need to get stronger first."

Reign shook his head. "That won't be a problem. As long as I'm here, even if you lose your head, I can still bring you back."

He looked unconvinced.

Reign raised his fingers—and in a blink, Kang's head was severed. It happened so fast that his body didn't even realize it was missing.

Golden light poured out, and in seconds, the body was whole again.

"See? If I heal you fast enough, you won't die. You're lucky to have me as your master."

Kang scratched his neck and gave a wry smile. Logic don't apply when dealing with his crazy master.

"So that's your first wish. What's the second? Go ahead—I'm in a good mood right now."

He hesitated for a moment, searching for the right words.

"I want resources—enough to reach the rank of Titled One. The highest level in this world."

"That's easy. With me around, anything you need can be created with just a snap of my fingers. You'll get it all. Now, give me your third wish—make it a little more challenging."

Kang figured that his master must have a secret space storage packed with rare treasures.

Turns out, Reign was being literal—he could just snapped his fingers and poof stuff appeared like magic. freēwēbnovel.com

With the Holy Grail in hand, everything he created with his divine powers could become permanent.

Kang clenched his fist.

This last wish was different—too personal. He wanted to do it himself, but it could take years, maybe even decades.

Now, with this chance, he could finally save one of the most important person in this life time.

"Please help me rescue my friend. She's a humanoid spirit beast who was taken by the Spirit Sect."

"Spirit Sect, huh?" Reign repeated, eyes narrowing. "How powerful is this organization?"

Kang lowered his voice. "It's the largest and most powerful organization on the continent. They control spirit master rankings, spirit beast hunting grounds, and even noble families bend to their influence."
