Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

"Speaking of...," he paused, a smirk forming on his lips.

"What do we have here?" his attention shifted as he detected a number of corrupteds closing in on him.

These weren't the usual weak, stumbling zombies. They looked different, with strange, unique unsettling mutations.

Looking closer, he noticed that some creatures were much bigger, while others had twisted bodies that mixed human and animal features.

They were definitely stronger than the regular ones, but still not enough to be a real threat to him, who had already regained most of his energy.

Their dark, gooey skin constantly oozed and dripped, as if it couldn't hold its shape .

One giant creature had long, spiky arms that ended in claw-like fingers.

Its face was a horrifying mask covered in goo, with glowing red eyes peering through.

Another monster had the lower half of a human, while its upper body was made up of writhing serpents.

The snakes slithered and hissed, their tongues flicking out as they coiled and moved.

Nearby, a creature with the head of a wolf emerged. Its body was a strange blend of human flesh and animal muscle, giving it the appearance of a mummified werewolf.

Beside it, a giant spider monster crawled forward. Its upper body was that of a female humanoid with four large, plump looking tits. From its lower half extended multiple spider legs

One particularly unsettling creature had the torso of a human but with long, writhing tentacles instead of arms.

Its face was covered in black sludge, with only beady eyes showing through. The tentacles lashed around, leaving trails of dark goo behind them.

Finally, there was a creature with a human upper body, but instead of legs, its lower half was made up of a writhing mass of insects.

The bugs moved together in a creepy, coordinated way, making it look like the creature was gliding on a sea of insects.

Despite their different shapes, all the creatures had that same dark, gooey skin that pulsed and rippled.

The air around them smelled awful, and the ground was covered in the remnants of their twisted transformations.

'These must be the powerful humans who mutated differently,' Reign thought to himself.

'Are they so powerful that even Number 17 can't control them?' he added.

He hadn't seen such strange and unique monsters in the earlier waves.

This made him think that their unusual mutations made them immune to number 17 control.

"EAT— DESTROY— KILL" one of the unique creatures roared in a muffled, broken voice. It was the towering giant with long, spiky arms .

"EAT"

"DESTROY"

"KILL"

Soon, other creatures joined in, their voices coming out as strained and garbled.

'They can talk?' Reign paused, taken aback by this surprising twist.

This was the first time he had heard a corrupted creature speak.

He had always believed they couldn't communicate, assuming their only purpose was to destroy humanity after the demons' failed attempts.

'Maybe it's because they're newly transformed, so they still have some of their old consciousness left,' he considered, trying to make sense of it.

Since these creatures were powerful when they were still alive, their corruptions took longer compared to ordinary humans.

Over time, as the process continued, they eventually lost all traces of their former selves. It was an intriguing idea, and even Reign found it fascinating.

But regardless of why they could speak, it didn't change the fact that they were now his prey.

Unique variants like these were worth more Dark Points and experience compared to the regular zombies, making them valuable targets.

"Let's see what you all have," Reign declared.

He summoned his weapon, Skull Grinder Carnage, and began swinging it .

SLASH!

Each swing made a loud, sharp noise, showing how deadly the weapon was.

The creatures backed away, which supported some of his theories that they still had some brain function left.

"Come on," Reign taunted, daring the creatures to attack.

They hesitated, unsure of what to do.

Taking advantage of their uncertainty, he decided to try something. He focused his energy, and a surge of blue electricity crackled around him.

As it flashed, the creatures went wild, reacting like moths to a flame.

The first was the giant with long, spiky arms. It swung at Reign with all its strength, but he easily dodged the attack.

With a fast, clean strike, he cut the giant in half, and it fell to the ground, dead.

Next, the creature with the head of a wolf and the body of a man lunged at him, aiming its claws at his throat.

Reign ducked under the attack and swung his blade horizontally. The creature's head flew off, and its body collapsed.

Another variant, part human and part spider, tried to trap Reign in sticky webs. The creature was quick, but he was quicker.

He dodged the webs and sliced off all the spider's legs in one smooth motion.

The creature screamed and toppled over. He finished it with a powerful strike, cutting the creature in half and separating its multiple big tits.

The next creature in his line of sight was the one with a human upper body, but its lower half was a writhing mass of insects.

Reign glanced at it and quickly determined the best way to kill it.

He raised his hand and shot out a powerful wave of flames. The fire quickly covered the whole thing, burning it away.

Finally, his gazed landed on one of the most unsettling creatures. Its dark tentacles flailed wildly, leaving trails of dark goo behind them.

SWOOOOSH!

The tentacles lashed out at him, but he dodged with ease, moving in advance to avoid their dark, sticky trails.

With a powerful swing, he cut through one of the tentacles. The spinning edge of his chainsaw weapon sliced through it easily.

The creature let out a screech, its beady eyes filled with anger.

It tried to hit him with its other tentacles, but Reign was too quick. He dodged every attack, and closed the gap between them.

Suddenly, Reign jumped high into the air and brought his weapon down hard.

The remaining tentacles flailed around to stop him, but Reign's strike was too fast. He sliced through all of them in one clean motion.

With a final, gurgling scream, the creature collapsed.

More and more unique corrupteds swarmed him, but he dealt with them efficiently. He used only what was necessary to take them down.

One by one, the creatures fell, each defeated with a single strike from his blade.

The fight was over quickly. Reign stood among the pile of corpses, his weapon dripping with dark blood.

'They weren't even worth the effort, I doubt they will amount to much' he muttered, disappointed at how easily they were defeated.

And just as expected, he only got a measly amount of Dark points from them.

[DING!]

[Level up + 1]

'That's a surprise. I can't believe I actually leveled up from that,' he muttered to himself, a mix of disbelief and satisfaction on his face.

[DING!]

[DING!]

[DING!]

Another, loud, new notifications echoed through his mind, different from the usual.

It was followed by a pop-up window that appeared in front of him.

'What's this? '
