Reincarnated and Regressed Villain - Make heroines beg for forgiveness

KRRZZZZT...

A static sound echoed inside the battleship, resonating through the main control center filled with personnel operating its commands.

"What the...? We've got unauthorized access, someone's breached our systems!" Hearing the loud sound, the pilot leading the battleship alerted the other members, recognizing the meaning behind the alert.

〚 ACCESS GRANTED! KLAXON ALERT: INTRUSION DETECTED 〛

"Intrusion detected, initiating security protocols! Standby for countermeasures!" The comms officer hurriedly went through the security logs to block the unauthorized infiltration.

WHRRRRRRR

Another series of sounds indicating firewalls breaking one after another filled the control center, which was in utter chaos as everything slipped through their hands within moments.

"They're in the mainframe! Attempting to regain control, but they're one step ahead of us!" Seeing control slipping from their hands, several Savant engineers tried to cut off the mainframe throughout the ship, but their decisions were one step behind the unauthorized infiltration.

Savants were races proud of their intellect in battleship technology and mechanics, making them the most sought-after race by the strongest continents for creating a battleship, but all of them were helpless today.

〚 ALL SYSTEMS COMPROMISED 〛

BEEEEEEEEPPPPPPP

A blank sound tore through their will as they all slowly stood from their chairs, eyes widened, fixed on the huge screen in front of them.

For the first time, all Savants found themselves in a situation where their firewalls and security failed them.

〚 ENEMY CONTROL ESTABLISHED 〛

"Enemy control established! Brace for impact, this is not a drill!" Not losing his cool, unlike the Savant races who were not a warrior race but just engineers, the captain of the battleship swiftly announced this to other parts of the battleship.

Zzzzwwwwooooooo!

Suddenly, a charging sound reverberated, their hearts racing at the same pace, understanding that it was the sound of cannons preparing to fire—specifically, their main cannon.

Every battleship had several minor cannons and one major cannon.

Unlike the minor ones, which could shoot down even a Legendary Rank Powerhouse and inflict some damage, a single shot from the main cannon was enough to completely vaporize them.

〚 ENERGY LEVELS FALLING: 100% --» 70% --» 30% --» 15% 〛

The problem was that it could fire a single shot at the cost of 85% of its energy, directly depleting all the energy stored within it.

SWISH

"Stop the cannon!" The captain swiftly vanished, arriving at the weapon controls to disable the charged cannon, but it was already too late.

....

"How dare they go against my orders?!" Regina's eyes turned crimson with anger upon seeing the first battleship's main cannon moving and aiming towards the branch family members.

"Chief, we have lost communications with the Captain. Inside the battleship, it seems something is disrupting our connections!" Swiftly, a figure came forward with news about the problem with the link that broke with the major ship, leading to a blockage in any commands from them to the ship.

SWISH

"No! That bastard can't fire the cannons right now; we don't have any excuse!" Regina shouted before vanishing towards the battleship, her eyes fixed on changing the direction of the cannon or destroying it.

With her strength of Legendary rank, it was not impossible, but it seemed that before she could do anything, the cannon was fired.

BOOOOOOOM!

A sharp light streak shot out of the battleship, tearing through the wall which kept them invisible, and struck down upon the hundred individuals standing below, while Regina's eyes widened.

'It's over.' Floating in the sky, she could only avert her gaze from the ground engulfed inside the blinding light, which was enough proof to destroy the individuals beneath.

SWOOOOSH

CRACKLE!

"How dare you attack my people?"

A voice resonated, attracting the gazes of all the individuals floating in the sky, their widened eyes evident of the sight in front of them which seemed surreal.

The energy of the main cannon, equal to 1 billion units, had bathed an individual who stood between the branch family members and the battleship, floating with a glimmering blade in his hand.

The blade's shine was a dark black, visible from within the blue sharp light of the Energy beam.

"N-no, how is he still alive?" Regina's eyes widened, unable to comprehend how the young man was still able to speak after getting directly hit by the cannon, which should have been enough to vaporize his whole body.

'!?'

Suddenly, the words he said a few moments ago resonated within her mind, and slowly, a realization dawned on her, understanding the direction all of this was going.

"Swiftly! Save the branch members now!" Regina commanded, understanding that the young man was about to use the pretext of the cannon to launch an all-out attack on them and even use this whole event to win the loyalty of the branch family.

CRACKLE!

Ryuk's body, drenched in that blue light whose temperature had already crossed the limit of Ether Crystal which he had withstood a moment ago, but unlike previously when his skin was burned, this time, his body was nullifying all energy including heat.

His focus was unhindered by anything around him, only on the 200 men floating in the sky and on those battleships.

He had already gathered all the information he needed to know about the standby army.

Yes, he was not naive enough to believe all these people represented the full strength of the Devereaux family, but they were a division that could be swiftly deployed whenever needed, reaching conclusions from their swift gathering after he woke up a few hours ago.

WHOOOOSH

His aura burst out of his body, covering his whole body in an amber aura which seemed to destroy the beam's energy particles on touch, directly cutting through while his sword started to vibrate.

It was pure Sword Intent.

"Kuggh..." Gritting his teeth while focusing all his concentration on his sword, which instantly turned amber like his body, shrouded in the Ether.

CLANK

While withstanding that barrage of heat, his hands lifted the sword above his head, starting to form an arc that was aimed not only at the battleship but also at the spire.

Everything was part of an upcoming future: He had already destroyed the Ether Crystal of his Spire; he needed another one until he could create his own Artificial Ether Crystal.

He needed an energy source, and it would be fulfilled by the compensation he would receive from the person behind this entire attack—a simple and clear plan.

SWISH

The moment his sword traced that arc in a swift movement, a very thin line shot out from it, filled with Sword Intent, directly cutting through the Energy Beam with ease and passing through the battleship.

SLICE

BOOOOOM!

A loud explosion accompanied by the silent sound of something cutting down filled the entire space, the impact causing the invisible barrier to shred into pieces, revealing three other battleships and a huge army of 200 powerhouses standing with their pupils reflecting only flames.

CRUMBLE

Before their eyes could blink, the nearby Spire belonging to Alisia Devereaux was cut in half like a piece of butter, a sharp cut enough to slide the whole architecture into two parts before all of it crumbled down to the ground.

BAAAANNNGGGG!

Within a moment, a Battleship and a Spire were turned into rubble with only one sword strike, while those Powerhouses kept looking at the man, whose gaze was fixed on them with a chilling voice resonating in the space.

"For the compensation of my house, I want all of your heads."
