Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Chapter 212: Newcomer



Chapter 212: Newcomer

Angela's mind raced with questions as she tried to stabilize her breathing.

Her body was just a vessel, so she really didn't need a heart, as her divine power could sustain life as long as she had enough reserved .

However, if this body died, she would have to start from scratch, and traveling between Heaven and the human world was very difficult, so she had to protect this vessel at all costs.

'This is really death energy , and the quality is also high," she clicked her tongue in annoyance as her hand traced the hole in her chest.

Dark aura surrounded it, decaying her muscles in real time. This was the reason why her it was taking so long to regenerate.

Only demons had the power to control Death energy, and for this entity to affect her this much, it had to possess qualities akin to those of a demon lord at bare minimum.

What was worse was that Death energy directly contradicted divine energy. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that angels had even less resistance to it than humans.

'Who is it? Who attacked me?' she gritted her teeth .

She pondered the possibility that a powerful demon, involved in the peace treaty, had come to kill her.

During her time in the human world, she sought out more information, knowing that the knowledge she possessed from the heavens was already outdated.

It was then that she stumbled upon the existence of one particular group of demons who worked closely with humans.

She thought they wouldn't be able to arrive here too soon because the distance between Tier 4 cities and the demon lord areas was huge, and it would take at least weeks, even if they flew directly.

'Not good,' her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of wind howling as the hunters seized the opportunity .

Four giant blades of wind flew towards her, each one aiming for a kill.

With quick reflexes, she jump from the building, letting herself fall toward the ground to add momentum, narrowly evading the attacks.

When the Wind blades struck the building, it sliced through it, effortlessly cutting through layers of concrete and steel.

The sheer power behind each slash was evident as the structure crumbled, showcasing the terrifying power of each attack.

'If not for this wound...' Angela's frustration reached all time high, her face contorting in anger as she found herself forced into this situation.

Despite the gaping hole in her chest, she pressed on, her wings struggling against the force of the wind from above.

It made her situation even more challenging when her wings were affected by the attack, hindering her ability to move freely.

'I can activate that thing, but it will weaken me,' she pondered.

The thought of sacrificing her power temporarily to boost her divine energy just enough to purify the death energy crossed her mind.

But if that demon attacked her in her weakened state, everything would be over.

Realizing this, she decided to run away, first.

'I need to get the chalice and get out of here,' she muttered.

Straining her wings, she pushed herself forward towards Reign's direction.

"Chase her!" Bynum ordered.

With each jump, the hunters leapt from one building to another, their powerful jumps shattering windows as the pressure from their steps reverberated through the air.

"Just have to get..." Her thought was abruptly cut off by a sudden vibration .

Mid-air, a sense of unease washed over her as her instincts screamed that her life was in danger.

Reacting fast, she dodged just as an incoming attack, a red flash of dark-red lightning, pierced through the air.

It streaked towards her with alarming speed, requiring her full attention to barely evade to the side.

Her mind raced as she felt the heat of the attack grazing past her, sending shivers down her spine.

It was so fast that if she hadn't been facing it directly, she wouldn't have been able to evade it with her current condition.

'Did that demon get him?' she thought, her worry growing.

The attack came from Reign's direction, leading her to assume that a powerful entity had already neutralized her pawn.

The hunters stopped chasing Angela after witnessing the streak of read lightning that almost took her out.

They quickly concluded that the attack came from another party attempting to kill her as well.

Judging from the power output, it was clear that the assailant was someone highly skilled in high-speed long-distance attacks and was in no way weaker than them.

In fact, those high-speed attacks were so fast that they reminded them of a powerful legendary hunter who also used lightning to cut down Demon Lords before they could even register what happened.

"Bynum, did HQ send another team?" Nekola asked as they stood on a rooftop, scanning the area for any signs of the newcomer who joined the fight.

'I don't know, but that attack didn't come from a hunter. Maybe those beings are here too,' Bynum replied, his face turning serious.

"You mean...?" Nekola paused, realizing the gravity of the situation.

"That demon broke the peace treaty, so I'm sure the Abyssal Alliance found out. They might have sent a powerful demon lord to capture her," Bynum explained. It was the only conclusion he could think of for another demon lord to try and assassinate her.

Everyone's face turned pale at the mention of the Alliance.

The alliance included Demon Lords, fearsome and cunning, Demon Kings, and at the pinnacle, a Demon God capable of pushing the human race to the brink of extinction.

Legends spoke of their devastating conquests and the ancient wars that nearly wiped out entire civilizations before the Corrupted appeared .

The name "Abyssal Alliance" alone was enough to deter anyone from breaking the Peace Treaty between humans and demons.

That's why this kind of incidents rarely happened because of this powerful group.

"Should we chase her?" Jaren asked, resting his massive sword on his shoulder. He was eager to see the power of a Demon Lord from such a legendary group.

"Let's stop here and just observed from a safe distance. If they're really from the Alliance, then we should let them handle this. That woman wasn't even serious when she was fighting us," Bynum reasoned, recalling how effortlessly she had dealt with their attacks.

"That's boring, but you're the leader," Jaren chuckled, shifting his massive sword on his shoulder. He was also relieved they didn't have to deal with Angela.

The four of them weren't arrogant or foolish enough to overlook the fact that she hadn't been fighting them seriously before. However, the same could be said for them too.

"By the way, between the Abyssal Alliance and the true powerhouses of the Hunter Association, who do you think is stronger?" he asked, his curiosity piqued by the thought of such formidable forces clashing.

Bynum paused for a moment, contemplating Jaren's question. The hunters from Tier 1 cities were on a whole different level, even compared to Tier 2 Hunters.

He had encountered one such hunter group before, and although they were far from the top 10, Bynum saw them kill a Peak Demon Lord with in under a minute.

The memory of that encounter still sent shivers down his spine, serving as a reminder that there were always bigger fish in the sea.

"I don't know," he shook his head.
