Chapter 2: Ruthless Destruction of Beauty, Activating the Apocalypse Villain System

Ye Zi'an felt elated; this benefit of transmigration was worth all the hardships he had endured in the first 25 years of his life.

After a while, Liu Sisi regained her composure and stood up, glaring fiercely at Ye Zi'an.

"You wait! My Liu family will definitely seek an explanation from you for today's incident."

With that, she angrily turned to head towards the Ye family's front door.

If Ye Zi'an didn't give her a satisfactory answer, she would go home and tell her father about what he had done to her today.

Liu Sisi regretted her decision to come alone. Why had she come by herself today? Why had the usually humble and polite Ye Zi'an changed so drastically?

Originally, the Liu family only intended for Liu Sisi to obtain a marriage certificate with Ye Zi'an, then secretly find an opportunity to kill him, the sole heir of the Ye family, to seize control of the Ye family's assets.

She never expected that things would become so awkward between them.

A woman like Liu Sisi, who was used to being admired, could never accept being with someone like Ye Zi'an, who was perceived as a slacker living off his family's wealth.

Ye Zi'an showed no intention of comforting or begging for mercy; instead, he squinted his eyes and looked at her with a fierce gaze.

Liu Sisi felt a chill run down her spine under Ye Zi'an's intense stare, her heart racing with unease.

Realizing that the situation had escalated beyond repair, she thought, why should she threaten him and provoke his anger?

With that in mind, Liu Sisi quickly calmed herself down and cautiously walked toward the villa's front door.

Her immediate priority was to leave the Ye family quickly; she didn't dare to discuss wedding details anymore.

Bang—

Just as Liu Sisi turned around, a palm-sized marble ashtray struck the back of her head, causing blood to gush forth.

In disbelief, Liu Sisi clutched her head, feeling the warmth of blood flowing through her fingers as she turned to look back.

Ye Zi'an stood there like a demon, holding an ashtray dripping with her blood.

What greeted her next was the ashtray's second strike.

Ye Zi'an's cold, deathly gaze was nothing like the Ye Zi'an she knew.

She could never have imagined that the obedient Ye Zi'an would turn violent against her today.

At this point, Liu Sisi could only succumb to her fate, collapsing into a pool of her own blood, her eyes gradually closing as her breath faded.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Ye Zi'an coldly watched as Liu Sisi lost her vitality.

Though he was not the original, he had taken over Ye Zi'an's identity, and thus he had to deal with any threats aimed at him.

In the plot, when both families were trapped in the banquet hall, if Liu Sisi hadn't provoked the male lead Su Chen, Ye Zi'an would not have intervened, and instead, he would have been killed by Su Chen in a single strike.

After Ye Zi'an's death, Liu Sisi would take the Ye family's assets and several warehouse addresses to curry favor with Su Chen, surviving in the apocalypse.

Seeing this, Ye Zi'an had abandoned the book, jumping through the chapters to finish reading.

He found the plot absurd; not only was the male lead overly virtuous, but he also wanted a harem while the author, fearing censorship, had avoided any real intimacy, leaving the ending frustratingly bland.

Nothing meaningful had happened between the male lead and the female leads, as if they were just friends; it would have been better to write about a single male lead's survival in the apocalypse.

What was the point of morality in an apocalypse?

Wasn't it all about survival and comfort?

If he were the main character, anyone who posed a conflict to his interests would be eliminated with ruthless efficiency, leaving no trace of a threat behind.

[Ding! Sensing the immense rage of the transmigrator, the Apocalypse Villain System has successfully activated.]

[System binding successful!]

Hearing the sudden system notification, Ye Zi'an couldn't help but grin.

Of course, as a transmigrator, how could he not have benefits? A system was a must-have!

With the system's assistance, his chances of survival in this world had increased significantly.

With that thought, Ye Zi'an summoned the system in his mind.

A panel that only he could see appeared before him, displaying four functions.

[Character]Ye Zi'an (click to view details)

[Current Task]Activate the Tower of Babel, requiring an area of 500 square meters of open land.

Tower of Babel (First Floor): Can control 4 survivors who will never betray, while also influencing 100 survivors and slowly increasing their favorability.

[Store](click to view details)

[Points]0

Skills: Storage Space, with a volume of 1,000,000 cubic meters, where time is frozen, and items remain in the state they were when placed inside.

Since he currently had 0 points, Ye Zi'an saw no need to check the store. He directly clicked on the character section to view his personal information.

[Strength]8

[Agility]7

[Stamina]8

[Spirit]10

(Ordinary people max out at 10; those who have undergone training can surpass this limit.)

[Potential]A (Potential is graded from low to high: D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS)

Seeing the effects of the first floor of the Tower of Babel, Ye Zi'an thought Liu Sisi had been too hasty in her actions; if only he had activated the system sooner, he could have controlled her.

But then he realized that if he hadn't dealt with Liu Sisi, he might not have activated the Apocalypse Villain System at all. Besides, the Liu family had their eyes on the original owner's assets; he couldn't take that risk.

Perhaps because he had transmigrated to this world and absorbed the original Ye Zi'an's memories, his spirit value was at maximum. However, that A-grade potential seemed lacking.

The higher the potential, the faster one could awaken abilities after the apocalypse, and the stronger those abilities would become.

But what was this Tower of Babel?

Since the original text didn't explain it, Ye Zi'an didn't dare to be careless and quickly asked.

Although it sounded impressive.

"As a qualified villain, there's no need to act personally like the protagonist; it's enough to plot behind the scenes and avoid drawing attention."

"The Tower of Babel is like a massive safe haven. By continuously absorbing the faith of survivors nearby and eliminating zombies, you can upgrade and increase the number of floors of the Tower."

"Each floor will activate additional functions, and survivors near the Tower will gradually grow fond of you. Those who are firmly loyal will obey your commands without question."

Understanding now.

"I have an evil idea; I wonder if it can be realized?"

"Host, be bold and rest assured; your ideas will definitely come to fruition."

A sinister laugh echoed in the hall.

It seemed that his Tower of Babel could control some survivors and have them serve him.

"By the way, host, you still have the villain beginner's gift package that hasn't been opened."

In that case, Ye Zi'an wasted no time in retrieving the system's gift package from his personal space.

[A-grade Strengthening Agent +1: Using it will increase all attributes by 10.]

[Ruthless Flower Destruction Palm +1: A-grade palm technique, dealing double damage to women.]

[Chaos Yin-Yang Art +1: SSS-grade mental technique. Hehe, you know what I mean.]

"If the host has no further questions, the system will enter sleep mode. It will only activate again if the host calls for it or encounters danger."

This was nice; it showed an understanding of privacy.

Ye Zi'an had previously worried that the system might interfere when he helped others train. Although the system wasn't a physical entity, he still found it strange.

Now, he didn't have to worry about that.

Quickly consuming the strengthening agent, Ye Zi'an felt his pores open up, and a surge of immense power flowed through him.

His previously faint abdominal muscles were now fully visible.

Looking at his powerful muscles, Ye Zi'an realized that his physical condition had surpassed the limits of an ordinary person, rivaling that of battle-hardened special forces.

He casually practiced the palm technique and focused on the ancient book titled "Chaos Yin-Yang Art."

As he gently touched the book, it transformed into a golden energy that flowed into Ye Zi'an's body, beginning to operate automatically.

After learning the Chaos Yin-Yang Art, Ye Zi'an felt a vortex of energy materialize within him, with an invisible force circulating through his meridians.

Could this be spiritual power? It appeared that he had laid the foundation for cultivation.

Before long, his body expelled some dark sludge, emitting a foul odor.

Ye Zi'an hurried to the bathroom, scrubbing thoroughly until he was clean, checking to ensure there were no strange smells lingering.

He wondered what the male lead Su Chen was doing now.

Ye Zi'an knew he needed to plan carefully when dealing with Su Chen, ensuring that everything was foolproof; the protagonist's halo was not to be taken lightly.

The system's suggestions aligned perfectly with Ye Zi'an's thoughts.

Why should he expose himself when dealing with the male lead? A true villain would plot behind the scenes, avoiding a deadly confrontation.

However, activating the Tower of Babel required 500 square meters of open land. Given the walls and various buildings surrounding it, he would need at least several thousand square meters of land, which was impossible to find in the densely populated city of Xia City.

Fortunately, the apocalypse was still a few days away, so he didn't need to rush to activate the Tower.

His immediate task was to deal with Liu Sisi's corpse.

Ye Zi'an took out his phone; it was now 8:43 PM. He dialed a number he hadn't contacted in a long time.
