Reincarnated and Regressed Villain - Make heroines beg for forgiveness

Chapter 154: Chapter 154- Diana's Intuition

'WHO is she? WHAT is she doing here? No, WHY does she even EXIST to begin with? Is this a DREAM? That GAZE... Who the HELL is she!' Diana's mind was a whirlpool of thoughts, bombarding it with her pupils trembling at a rapid pace, eyes reflecting two hands interlocked with each other.

'Who is she?' Her mind couldn't recognize the face.

Those golden eyes were something she had first seen in both her lives—the present one and the past one, where she had learned about all types of races and their features due to the Riantain Bloodline's abilities for better utilization.

But even after remembering the characteristics of 100 million different types of brainless races and 198 thousand intellectual races, none of the creatures showed those detailed golden pupils.

There were indeed mindless beasts with golden pupils or intellectual dragons, but... a humanoid race?

Nope.

There was a swirl of emotions, not needing any confirmation about their relationship since the interlocked fingers, the woman's cold eyes becoming softened when looking in the direction of the man, and then that clearly blurred face.

Yes, Diana couldn't see that woman's face.

The only thing her eyes could see was a blur or an average woman's face which kept changing every ten seconds, as if switching thousands of faces within the time since exiting the ship.

'What is she doing here?', Diana's perception could feel something amiss about that woman, her senses which was active due to Oculus artifact's feature wasn't sensing even a bit of energy from her.

Meaning, both man and woman walking in hand in hand were undetectable with closed eyes and ears, making things more frustrating.

Making her senses wringle regarding such coincidence of this woman being in the same town where Ryuk was present too.

Diana's Intuition was warning her about that woman.

'no, that is not the point here', Ignoring everything, her eyes turned towards the young man carrying a small smile on his face while immersed into conversation, with those same eyes once holding her reflection glancing at that woman.

'k-kill her....will kill her...I WILL KILL HER!', Diana's eyes shot red due to rage filling her whole body, mind becoming clouded with the intense anger, foot taking steps towards them, hand stretching to strangle that woman.

'DAMN IT!', Diana's body pass through that woman, since it was just an live image created by artifact not her body being present there.

'Why does she exist to begin with!', Her mind can't help but feel crashing any moment, her eyes can't see that woman's face, her ears wasn't hearing her words and then her hands instead of strangling, passed through that woman.

It all hit back much harder than it appeared through Diana's trembling body, those lips biting itself to cause the blood to trickle from them with nails digging hard into her skin due to clenched fists, but all this was inflicted on her real body with no marks or sound here.

Her sound and presence were undetectable due to her not even being present here to begin with; the only thing one could at most guess was some slight mana movement in the air due to the artifact's influence and just that.

No one can identify the person using the Artifact, which was also the reason making this artifact being of a Celestial Grade.

Her eyes can't keep themselves away from that woman, trying to get even a small clue about that real face.

She will make sure to shred that thing who laid hand on the man who rightfully belonged to her, as simple as that.

:: Because ::

For the first time, Diana's pupils contracted with visible nerves twitching due to the voice coming out of the woman's mouth reached her ears.

Until now, everything was mute; even Ryuk's voice was inaudible to her, as if something was preventing that to reach her and Diana knew, it was that woman.

'Is this a dream?' Diana's blue pupils were already at the limit of vibration, appearing unstable as they trembled in disarray the moment they captured that woman leaning forward towards the young man.

'Stop it! STOP IT!' Once again Diana closed the distance the moment her eyes captured the woman's pupils fixing on the thing which should be hers, and should be preserved only for her at least in this life when she had already become far stronger than her previous life to claim that man for herself.

But again, her hands and whole body passed through them.

Her black gloves were already torn due to nails piercing through them and digging into her hand.

:: I don't want to hide anything from you ::

"BITCH! I. WILL. KILL. YOU!" She cried out, only thing Diana could do while her body fell to her knees, eyes filled with redness and visible anger, boiling rage looking at the woman, whose death could be the only thing that would soothe her now.

:: Oh, no need for that ::

'!?!'

"Huh, no, no, it is impossible," Diana's mind suddenly felt a sharp surge.

Her eyes, which were trembling a moment ago, became static, not missing those golden eyes which were turning towards her.

Yes, Diana was one hundred percent sure that the averted pupil was turning towards her direction.

But above all that, 'Ryuk can't see it.'

Diana's mind, filled with intense emotions, was now crystal clear. It was as if a feeling washed over her, making her realize that she wasn't a spectator here.

But all along, that woman somewhere knew about her presence, which was why until now she had not revealed her face.

:: I will protect them from anyone else ::

'That GAZE!' Diana's instincts snapped the moment her eyes met those golden ones, looking down at her kneeling figure while that figure wrapped her hand around the man who seemed oblivious to everything.

It all came back, hitting her.

The golden-eyed woman was saying everything to her instead of the man, who seemed oblivious to all of this while he kept smiling, replying lovingly to that woman.

Yes, Diana could only guess that he was talking romantically due to no audio at all; everything was mute except for a few targeted words of the woman, but the man's soft expression revealed it all.

That expression was never even shown to her, not even by any other women, which made things more difficult here.

All signs pointed towards that woman who was manipulating her man to this extent.

:: Trust me ::

SWOOSH

'What was that?' A sudden force seemed to just influence her mind, yet due to the Riantain bloodline giving her complete control over her brain, it protected the information from leaking out.

Yes, it was a mind attack, which tried to read through her thoughts, attempted to render her unconscious, and even freeze her mind in this moment with a replay of this soul-tearing scene.

Diana could feel it.

There was something amiss with that woman; her strength was unknown to Diana, as if a facade hiding everything behind. But somehow, Diana knew that woman couldn't possibly be stronger than her.

Yet, she just endured a sharp mental attack, causing her to grit her teeth in frustration, jaws clenching with visible gritted teeth, she cried out,

"WHO THE HELL IS SHE!"

BANG!

"Haa....Haaa....FUCKING SLUT!" Diana's eyes shot open, her body instantly lurching forward while throwing the Artifact covering her eyes against the wall.

CRACK

Even with the ether-infused metal walls of the ship, painted in a curtain texture to appear decorative inside the room, was dented several inches in due to the force.

SWOOOOSH!

RUMBLE!

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!, I WILL KILL YOU!" Her nerves tightened around her neck due to a sharp cry filled with agony, accompanied by her ZENITH-ranked Aura bursting out, causing the whole battleship to tremble as if hit by a shockwave.

knock knock

"Are you fine, My Lady?" A maid knocked on the door, completely composed with her stoic face, inquiring with a normal tone.

"TURN THIS JUNK TOWARDS TITANORA, THIS INSTANT!" Diana had lost her patience; now, the only thing remaining was to go there directly, kill that woman, and claim Ryuk for herself.

No need for formalities and patience; she could clearly see him slipping through her hands.

Now or never.

"Um, My Lady, exactly, we need to return to Ardoros now, since the Demon Queen has just announced a full-scale battle over Titanora," the maid informed regarding the latest information they had received a minute ago.

"WHAT! FUCK THAT BITCH, I SAID MOVE THIS GARBAGE TOWARDS TITANORA!" Diana's mind was filled with nothing but the desire to cut that woman into pieces instead of caring about anything else.

Did she care about the announcement of Ascendancy-ranked powerhouses?

She didn't give a damn shit about anyone else.

Right now, Ryuk was slipping through her hands, and that mattered more to her.

Silence~

"....I will not, my Lady," the maid said before taking out a communication device from her pocket. Bringing it towards her mouth with a calm tone, she informed, "Lady Luna, please arrive here. Lady Diana seems to be trying to do something dangerous again."

BOOM!

The whole metal gate protecting the room was destroyed from the middle, appearing as if it had been punched and scattered yet remained intact on the edges which were bent due to the force.

"How dare you." Diana walked outside the room, her blue eyes carrying a hint of killing intent, now shot red due to the anger from a moment ago.

Her bitten lips and bleeding palms, dug by her nails, trickled blood, showing her present state of mind even as she ignored healing her own wounds.

"You know right, before Sister comes, you will be dead?" Diana threatened, aware that being Riantains, none of them feared her due to their complete control over their bodies to suppress their outer emotions.

But she needed to do anything to reach Titanora now.

WHOOSH

Suddenly, a sharp sound caused her pupils to turn towards the direction where a figure started to materialize, and even before it could completely arrive, a voice emanated from it reverberating throughout the whole place.

"Diana, if you lay a finger on that golden-eyed girl, you will be dead."
