Reincarnated and Regressed Villain - Make heroines beg for forgiveness

Chapter 58: Chapter 58- Ryuk's POV

In Morning,

While bathing, several thoughts crossed my mind, some possibilities about future events seemed to have multiple outcomes.

The thoughts were mostly about the things this wide world had for me, but some of my present decisions seem to have not yielded satisfactory results in the long run.

Maria getting attacked was one of them; the sole reason to let her roam freely on borders was to promote that Cultist Religion more, indirectly keeping Fela in check.

Fela's existence was a variable for me; there were several doubts about her presence in this world, but some events only solidified evidence of her existence.

For example, at the time of Edward's escape from the dungeon, the system detected seven beings, and only four were from Ardoros; the other three needed Level 5, which was the limit of the system's upgradation.

Then, the sudden awakening of past life memories of Edward, which could be because he was the son of heaven but still, the fact he had a past life only signaled towards a bigger force at play.

'System, is someone observing me right now?' I was aware of Mother keeping an eye on me every time, but she was not what concerned me right now.

[ Host, An Ethereal Entity is Keeping an Eye on you, it's been four days since the surveillance started ]

'Heh, so you really exist, Fela.' The timing of the assassination attempt on Maria and this can't be mere coincidence.

But, there were still several doubts like why Fela was keeping an eye on me, just because I killed her Apostle in a previous life.

Then, does it mean she knows about time being rewound? But then, why didn't she prevent the implantation of the Demon seed in Maria?

Chances of her awareness would probably be 43%, if all variables are taken into account.

'System, did you detect the constitution of the poison used in the assassination?' Not only Fela's existence, but the poison used on Maria directly triggered her demon seed, which should have remained dormant until I wanted it to.

[ Host, The poison is made using 4??- Beast's Energy Core ]

'.....'

This is what confused me more. A beast at the level of ?APEX?was killed and synthesized into poison only to target a small girl living in the smallest corner of this vast world.

Since I was sure that the poison was specially prepared for Maria by someone who knew about her weakness, this seems more of a mystery.

'System, who attacked Maria?' I asked, even though I already knew the answer.

[ Host, I can see into events related to those whom you have ever met. Without knowing their energy signatures, it is difficult, but I can give it a try using all the similar energy data stored in me. Should I proceed? ]

'Yes, you can.'

[DING!

Detection Completed. Target seems to share similar energy signatures from two individuals: Adanyl Silvester and Ryuk Von Selvius. Target also has signatures of the Tenebrial Bloodline.]

'!?'

'Is that Amayara? No,' I rejected this thought since, by sending her orphanage 20 thousand gold coins, I had made her aware of my memories. Knowing her personality, she will prioritize her sister first, which will keep her from disturbing me.

'What is the relation of that person with me?' I didn't care about that individual's relationship with Adanyl or holding the Tenebrial Bloodline. Whether Adanyl was the daughter of Ronen Silvester or the heir of the Tenebri Family, her presence around me was very important.

I rejected thoughts of any Heroines being that individual since none of them can harm Maria till that point, knowing their limits, I was atleast sure about this.

[ Host, I can detect your faint Soul energy from that individual ]

'What is this Soul Energy?' I inquired, only to confirm the theory I just thought, which was soul energy being a type of energy leaking out of one's body like positive and negative influence around someone— though it was just a guess.

[ Host, Soul energy is the bonding energy with which a Soul is bonded with the body. The subtle amount of this energy leaks out and influences the aura of others with time ]

'.....' Only one thought crossed my mind after confirming my theory, which was unbelievable at first, but if there was even a single possibility then, it could lead to problems.

'What is the name of that individual?' This was the only question remaining in my mind knowing about what the system meant could be a big mistake if ignored.

According to the System, I had immunity over any outside interference, meaning my soul energy can never influence others, like it's isolated within me, and it all started the moment I was born in this world.

All this only pointed towards one thing: That individual knew me from previous world.

[ Host, Target Identity is Yui Silvester ]

'.....Is it her?' For a moment, past world's memories resurfaced like a surge, but then, it was my past and now this world is my present and that's what mattered.

'System, where is she right now?' I knew about Ronen Silvester's family's death in a carriage accident, but Yui, just like Adanyl, seems to have survived somehow.

It can't be a coincidence that the parents died and two infants survived a carriage accident.

'... Don't tell me, the accident was a facade to hide the real truth.' I wasn't sure, but things were just too much for them to be a mere coincidence.

[ Host, I can't detect her exact location due to her presence becoming faint. It seems the individual is doing some training to decrease energy signature ]

'I see.' Slowly rising from the bathtub, I moved towards the mirror while understanding that there was a limit to how much the system can be used, not that it was a problem.

Approaching the mirror, looking at my own reflection which seemed enhanced after Body-Reconstruction, but the question remained: how much?

'System, what's with Bella?' Another thing bothering me was her behavior towards me all these years. Living with her, at least I made sure to make myself her aim, but still, why did it all seem much easier than I anticipated?

[ Host, Your pheromones seem to have a vital impact on her body. After going through Body-Reconstruction, all remaining impurities are removed, making your pheromones even more potent ]

I couldn't help but feel amused after now understanding the meaning behind those words I heard in my previous life from Belial's mouth—Demonised Bella.

// Human, you smell very good. Why not let me have a taste, just a small bite? //

Those words resurfaced again, making me understand that Bella Iliyas had a very fatal weakness, which was me all along.

I could come to the conclusion that she had an attraction towards me, since her rivalry was always to defeat me, not harm me physically.

'So, Miss Bella wants to get rid of this smell.' At that moment, a thought crossed my mind, a thought which would ensure that Bella becomes Jenny's salvation.

'It must be time for that girl to come.' I was sure about Adanyl's arrival here for an apology, which was expected from a smart girl like her.

I am also prepared to show some leniency and mercy to that little girl.

'System, prepare a potion carrying my pheromones.' If everything went according to what I think, then Bella would become Jenny's only hope, and with that, I could get my hands on the woman who barged uninvited in her ghost form and even attacked me six years ago.

'....' Suddenly, that day's moment when the system, in the name of saving my soul, took those 10,000 kill points, freshened again.

These were a few reasons preventing me from believing the system.

Present.

"Fine, I can at least do this much," Ryuk said, looking towards Adanyl, who was standing in noble etiquette, a smile forming on Ryuk's face. But right now, there needed to be a little push.

He slowly turned, ignoring all the gazes looking at him with astonishment. His senses could hear their sharp heartbeats, yet his eyes settled on the carriage behind his—a pure golden carriage infused with mana, slowly revealing the presence of two people inside.

"Bella, there are several people. Are you not gonna leave me?" Alisia was seated inside the carriage, while a girl buried her face within Alisia's embrace, prompting her to observe the subtle changes around the crowd. Their gazes were fixed on Ryuk instead of her carriage.

'Why are they looking at him?' Alisia didn't understand the reason for everyone's attention being fixed on Ryuk instead of the Queen's carriage.

Due to Ryuk's enhanced senses and strength, he was picking up vivid sounds and observing everything happening around the whole capital city, though he could stretch it to the whole of Heindal, but there was a chance for Alisia to sense him.

Until now, except for fighting those Mayas inside the borders of Aidiac Kingdom, he had never once used his full strength and always kept it under control, the reason being that day's experience.

One of the Mayas was at his level but perfect unlike him, holding strength too.

That day, battling without the help of the System's Overdrive, things would have become difficult.

Ryuk realized the force behind that small punch would have caused an earthquake enough to reach hundreds of miles, not just one, if not for the energy field prepared by the System.

From that day, he realized how dangerous it could be for him to engage in battle with such powerhouses within the grounds of Heindal. Right now, he was at the ?EPIC?, and at that, Perfect.

Due to his immunity, no one could see through his power level if he kept it concentrated within his body.

"Your Highness?"

A voice caused him to snap out of his thoughts, making him realize he needed to prioritize the present matters instead of the upcoming future.

Turning towards Adanyl, who was observing him with confusion, he stated, "Why don't you give them a free bottle of your perfumes?"

Silence.

The atmosphere was completely silent for several moments since he disembarked from the carriages, his words moving slowly, making everyone snap out of their reverie.

"WOAH!! Crown Prince is the best!" Everyone started to cheer for him, understanding how he provided them with free perfumes in the name of testing. Since the Crown Prince knew that the commoners could hardly afford one bottle of it.

"Give me, I want it!" Without any moment of hesitation, people started to surround the small stall Adanyl had prepared to test perfumes. Of course, it would have been blasphemy to act as such in front of the royal family, but everyone knew how kind-hearted the Crown Prince was. Everyone saw both their future King and Queen in a new light.

The Crown Princess was responsible for earning money for herself, and the Crown Prince was kind-hearted enough to understand the condition of his people.

'H-his Highness...' Adanyl blankly observed Ryuk, who had a smile. Right now, her mind couldn't fathom the intention he had behind allowing everyone to have a bottle for free. Wasn't it a loss for the royal family?

Unbeknownst to her, Ryuk was not doing any charity.

He had ordered Countess Carlien to sell her own perfumes at 5 gold coins, when one bottle only costed her 1 coin.

At the end of the day, he was going to get 4 coins per bottle from Bella herself, all those coins were earned by her after selling mines to Olivia.

Of course, Ryuk was not naive to play some underhanded tactics just because he wanted to tease an eleven-year-old girl.

His aim was to solve the upcoming major issue which could inevitably occur one day.

From the System, he came to know about Cat-kins getting helpless against Incubi due to their pheromone-copying skills.

From there, he contemplated how much it could be problematic if, while venturing outside this continent, they ever met an enemy with such an ability.

He didn't care about Bella's well-being or anything, but being ignorant after knowing such things could only cause him future trouble, since he needed her help in something else.

BANG!

Suddenly, the carriage doors burst open, only a silhouette jumping out of it before disappearing into the crowd seemed visible.

Of course, Ryuk noticed that it was Bella running from this place, which was expected. But Adanyl too noticed her running while holding her nose, prompting Adanyl to state, "Your Highness, why did Bella run like that from here?"

"Maybe she had an allergy to your perfume." With a smile, he teased, causing her eyes to widen, since the perfumes were sent by Countess Carlien, and her work was just to add the potion Ryuk had given her into them.

GASP

Suddenly, realization dawned on her. "Don't tell me, Your Highness, did you mix something in that potion—"

BEEEEEEPPPPP!!!

??????????? ? ???????????

WARNING!!

??????????? • ????????????

Ryuk's eyes kept looking towards the popping windows one after another, his mind was in a trance for a moment processing every detail.

Even in that overwhelming situation, his mind was trying to understand what just happened.

'System, what are their levels?' Ryuk could clearly understand that the System's warning could only be because the enemies' strength crossed the limit which could be reached using Overdrive.

[ Host, Two individuals are at ?LEGENDARY?, and the strongest one is at the Peak of ?ZENITH?]

'!?!'

'No, what is happening here?' His mind couldn't fathom how such variables were occurring one after another.

The arrival of such powerhouses was not something he could deal with at his present level. At that moment, his sole concern was, 'Mother!'

SWISH

Without any delay, he swiftly vanished and appeared outside the golden carriage. His eyes searched for his mother, but there was no one inside the Carriage.

At that moment, his mind fell into turmoil. It was calm enough to think, but for a mere moment, he lost his control and uttered,

"Mother!?"
