Reincarnated and Regressed Villain - Make heroines beg for forgiveness

Chapter 222: Chapter 222- New plot

'It's fine. I also didn't inquire about your analysis of my abilities; we didn't have time,' Ryuk calmly stated inwardly, referring to how, after the system's return, he had been too preoccupied to ask any questions due to getting involved with these people.

[Um, exactly, Host. The thing I forgot is as old as time itself when I revealed my origin.]

'.....' Hearing those words, which belonged to a few months before he went into a coma, Ryuk felt his mouth twitch. He thought about how the system was really getting on his nerves.

From the beginning, it kept tricking him out of killing points, leveling points, prompting him to hate it previously. Now that it had finally stopped, the system had just forgotten to tell him something Ryuk felt was very important.

'Tell me after I am done here,' he inwardly commanded, understanding the urgency of the present situation.

A man holding a sword had just rushed towards him. Ryuk's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the young man charging at him in slow motion.

Due to Ryuk's strength, the man appeared slow, allowing each part of his attire to be analyzed for clues about his background—a tattered yet ornate robe hinting at a noble lineage fallen from grace.

Naturally, there wasn't time, or else Ryuk would have used the system to see the man's status window.

"Take this! Azure Dragon Gale Slash!" The young man's voice echoed with righteous fury as his blade sliced through the air, aiming straight for Ryuk's chest, mere heartbeats away from impact.

Clank!

The sound of two metal collisions reverberated before a sight that sent shockwaves through the bystanders. Their eyes widened as they watched the fragments of the sword shatter into the sky.

Everything happened too quickly for anyone to fully grasp, but their dilated pupils revealed the colorless aura enveloping the young man, whose hand recoiled from the destruction of his sword.

They could all see the black-robed man's amber eyes fixed on the young man attempting to protect the woman.

Despite their desire to intervene, they found themselves rooted in place, witnessing something that made their feet instinctively retreat.

"W-wait, isn't that telekinetic Qi?" one of them exclaimed, recognizing the energy swirling around the shattered sword that had been rendered useless before it could strike its target.

"Urgh... What's happening?!" The young man felt his body losing control as his limbs were suspended in the air, rendering his peak foundational establishment power level useless.

His eyes trembled at the sight of the man standing before him in a black robe with orange stripes, but it was the deep amber eyes that sent chills down his spine.

'No, I need to save Zhen'er!' The young man attempted to move, but the enormous force gripping him made all efforts futile.

"If you don't want to see that woman die, don't move," came a firm, threatening voice from none other than Ryuk. His body emitted an enormous amount of ether, focusing intensely to control the young man through mana manipulation.

Though it was ether in his case, Ryuk employed a classic technique learned from cultivation novels in his old world, concealing the true nature of his energy to avoid revealing his abilities to these people.

Originally developed in his past life, Ryuk had used this technique before when dealing with challenges caused by his step-sister, who had allowed numerous intruders into the Selvius Kingdom's palace.

Now, all that remained was to intimidate this young man into submission, preventing Ryuk from needing to resort to physical force, despite knowing that the environment was far denser and more rigid than Titanora.

Even the controlled aura leaking from Ryuk hadn't cracked the wooden inn, illustrating its formidable resilience.

'?!'

"You fiend!" The young man's body went cold, instantly chilled by the threatening words of the robed man who exuded a murderous aura—evidence that he had taken lives before.

Though unable to sense any manipulated Qi, he acknowledged the robed man's strength was beyond his detection.

'N-no, why again?' Zhen'er's heart raced as she heard someone threatening to use her as leverage against her friend, causing her to cry out weakly, "Stop, whoever you are, please!"

Her plea seemed drowned out by the background noise filling the space, with a small crowd watching the spectacle of a man levitating in the air and another in black robe and mask demanding control over the woman they both sought to protect.

"Now, show me his status window," Ryuk finally demanded, observing the man's struggle against the overwhelming force that held and manipulated his body.

DING!

'What's with this window?' Ryuk inquired, seeing a completely new colored screen that was white, entirely white with golden letters, a stark contrast to his usual black or orange screens.

Though he could understand it was just a new theme and color design, the information displayed seemed overwhelming, unlike anything Drishti, Edward, or anyone else he had encountered so far.

[Host, this is directly related to the reason behind all these events and the birth of the new Son of Heaven.]

'Hm, is he the new Son of Heaven?' Ryuk inquired, finding no exceptional qualities in this young man aside from the familiar plot of a young master getting slapped for attempting to touch a woman protected by the Son of Heaven.

[ He is one of them. ]

'....'

'You mean the first life mentioned beside his name?' Ryuk stood at the center of everyone's attention, glancing at the three accompanying him, gesturing for them to remove all other people from the area.

He moved with Liu Wei's body being dragged in the air, attempting to use wind steps and Qi to mortify his body against an unknown energy that wouldn't budge an inch.

[ Indeed, this guy has seven lives secured as plot armor, each with different memories and consciousness. When one dies, its memories merge with the remaining ones. ]

'This... how was a new Son of Heaven born?' Ryuk grasped the situation: the seven lives mentioned could be scattered across the world, each with different strengths and powers, living separate lives until one dies and their memories merge into the others, only their consciousness dying.

[ It was my fault >?.?< ]

'How?' Ryuk finally arrived in front of the young woman, looking around while she stretched her hand towards him, her actions and the emptiness in her eyes indicating she was blind.

'Where is Liu Wei?' Zhen'er, who had come here after hearing about her friend passing the Jade Pavilion's entrance exam and wanting to buy gifts for her at the auction, now found him in trouble because of her.

'Is she the heroine?' Ryuk inquired, looking at the blind woman who didn't seem conventionally beautiful enough to be considered one, though Ryuk understood that his sense of judgment had been clouded by daily encounters with Drishti, Esme, and Regina, compounded by heavy makeup concealing this woman's true face, which made him doubt.

[No Host, but she could awaken if some villainess becomes as evil as you.]

'Start from what you forgot to tell me,' Seeing how System was talking in bits to not make sense of things, Ryuk understood the main puzzle was related for him to know exactly what is the thing System had forgotten to tell him.
