Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Chapter 329: Bounce Back

Reign studied his opponent closely, searching for any sign of weakness.

From their first encounter, he knew that the meta-human's ability to reflect attacks was no joke.

He had to be extra careful now, because even his strongest asset—sheer firepower—was a bad match up.

In fact, the stronger his attack were, the more he would be at a disadvantage.

It wasn't wrong to say that Juggernaut made firepower completely irrelevant.

'I'll test the waters first,' he muttered to himself.

CLANG!

He flicked a small object at the armor, but it bounced off the tough plating without making a dent, showing that its quality was far above the one Alfonso used.

"Weird," Reign muttered aloud, puzzled.

"If your power reflects any type of damage, why even bother with the armor? Doesn't it defeat the whole purpose?"

Juggernaut's eyebrows raised slightly under his visor, and a hint of surprise showed in his eyes.

"So you've done your homework," he rumbled, his voice deep and rough.

"You're completely right," The meta-human admitted, his tone prideful and arrogant.

"My ability does reflect damage, but you're too slippery. I needed this power armor to keep up with you, or you'd just run away like last time," he said with a scowl, clearly not impressed.

'I'm too fast for him?,' Reign thought.

What he had shown so far was only 10% of his true speed, and his opponent was already struggling to keep up.

'Why do I feel like meta-humans are so unbalanced? It's like their stats aren't distributed properly,' he wondered.

He started to suspect that the overwhelming power to reflect anything might come at a heavy cost, leaving his other abilities weak in comparison.

Determined to test his hypothesis further, Reign decided it was time to up his game a little.

SWOOOOSH!

Without hesitation, he dashed forward, using only 20%. If he went any faster, he risked blowing his cover.

Juggernaut responded quickly, his armor emitting a high-pitched whine as thrusters on his feet propelled him forward with impressive force.

'What is that ?' Reign's was slightly shock at the sudden burst of speed, but he maintained his composure.

When they collided in the middle, Reign dodged Juggernaut's swinging punch and started slashing through the thick metallic armor in return.

CLANG!

CLANG!

CLANG!

The sound of metal hitting metal reverberated through the air as the attacks landed.

With each swing of his weapon, he put more force behind his attacks, chipping away at the armor's outer layers.

But despite the damage being inflicted on it, Juggernaut's confidence remained unshaken.

His eyes, slightly visible through the visor, showed no fear or doubt despite the escalating challenged.

It was clear that the advanced power armor wasn't holding up as expected.

But, Juggernaut still believed that Reign's attacks wouldn't cause any damage to him at all.

Even a powerful bomb wouldn't be able to harm him, making the slashes and strikes looked like mere party tricks.

"Now, it's my turn to attack!" Juggernaut spun and swung his fist wildly.

Reign reacted fast. He ducked down, avoiding the punch by inches.

As the fist smashed into the ground, Reign quickly jumped back up, staying ready for the next move.

Juggernaut tried punching again, but Reign used this chance to his advantage.

He moved quickly, slashing at the armor over and over again, cutting through it bit by bit.

Inch by inch, he made progress, reducing the once-formidable piece of rare metal to what looked like a cheap, battered suit.

Unfortunately , he still struggled to find a way to deal real damage to the meta-human.

The more he slashed and attacked, the more damage he suffered, and his own body had to regenerate quickly from the injuries.

Luckily, his blue janitor uniform concealed the damage , hiding the toll the fight was taking on him.

'Why is the reflection too damn powerul?' he wondered to himself.

His bones were much tougher than Juggernaut's muscles, so the reflected damage shouldn't have hurt him as much.

But for some reason, it didn't make sense and went against the law of physics.

It was similar with Elsa; she was an enigma.

Your journey continues with M V L

Her power made her almost unkillable, and could probably regenerate herself from a pool of water if he did not use his "True Death" skills.

'If I was a human, I'd probably be dead by now,' he thought.

Juggernaut's ability was clearly overpowered. If it weren't for the fact that he was so slow, he would be nearly unbeatable.

Reign also discovered something else: The punches weren't very strong either.

They were only as powerful as a High Demon's, which wasn't particularly impressive compared to him.

This made his theory seem more and more likely.

Determined to test his theory, he kept on slashing at his opponent again and again

"Stop wasting your time! Something like this can't hurt me!" Juggernaut sneered, his voice dripping with contempt.

He threw another punch, a move that lacked finesse or skill.

It was pure brute force, full of openings, perfect for someone like him who didn't have to worry about being hit.

As expected, his punch missed entirely. Reign didn't even need to try hard to dodge it; the attack was too predictable and too slow to pose any real threat.

The same could also be said for Reign , who was also struggling to figure out a strategy.

At this point, he was just buying time so Aljon and Wick could escape with the documents and the serum.

After a while, enough time had passed, so Reign decided it was time to step up his game a little bit.

'Let's see if you can handle this!' Reign thought to himself.

He planned an attack that was powerful but not fatal, even if it were reflected back at him with double the intensity, as noted in the reports.

He gripped his dagger tightly, summoning some of his powers. He combined pure wind and fire element, charging the blade with intense energy.

But as Reign thrust the enhance weapon, a confident smile spread across Juggernaut's face.

'I've won,' The meta- human chuckled to himself, his muscles glowing a brilliant gold.

Reign sensed something was wrong, but it was too late; the momentum was already unstoppable.

BOOOOOM!

A massive explosion erupted, engulfing the entire highway in a blazing inferno.

Fire roared and crackled, swallowing everything in its path.

The intense heat and flames were so overwhelming that they melted the very air around them.

But instead of harming the meta-human, the damage rebounded back on Reign with quadrupled intensity.

When the smoke finally began to clear, Juggernaut emerged from the wreckage, his armor completely vaporized by the blast.

He stood tall and defiant, now entirely naked for everyone to see.

Despite the raging flames and searing heat, his glowing muscles remained completely unaffected.

"Did he get burned to ashes?" Juggernaut asked, his voice filled with curiosity.

He stared at the spot where his opponent had been moments before.

The area was scorched, with remnants of clothes and melted debris scattered around.

Even the van wreckage had been completely obliterated, reduced to a puddle of molten metal.

"He died just like the others. I knew it, no one can beat me," Juggernaut laughed aloud.
