MTL - Tathagata Must Be Defeated - Chapter 96 : Take the wine

“I... I am a mere villain in a novel!?”A handsome male asked the void but received no answer, his face filled with shock as he awoke from sleep; the date again told him it was the 7th of July 2035, the day his fiancée would ask to break their engagement.Suddenly his mind was assaulted by various memories, strange events and occurrences ending with his death.“What are these memories? Why the hell do I act so pathetically when around these women!?”He rose from the velvet sheets, his tall body standing at the window, wearing nothing but his magnificent, well-trained birthday suit.“Never again! That damn guy can have them all! I quit!”[Supreme Villain System Installing]“NO! I don't want it!”[Error... System rejected by the host!]“Good...”[Supreme Netori System Installing!]“Oi...! No... Stop! I don't want to submit my control and will!!”The handsome male began to slam his head against the solid stone wall, the impact causing his brain to rattle, blood seeping down his forehead.[System.....Error]“I won't submit!” He roared; the morning maid stunned outside his door as he smashed his head against the wall, each blow causing his vision to grow blurrier and his muscles to spasm.[Netori... Error....]“Haha... I won! Screw you!”[Idiot]“Eh?”A sudden jolt of lightning shot from the ceiling, zapping the handsome male's brain as he fell to the ground, his body shuddering in silence.“Ngh!?”[I would never control you... Here, take these little gifts. I'll go mess with those skanks that hurt you][Do your best, Amon]But Amon finds nothing is simple when dealing with years of feelings and supreme beings.Can he escape the fate of a villain's death, or will the deep shackles of his past lives bind him?Watch as he surpasses them all, stepping over other villains like ants and crushing the heroes to become the supreme Villain.

Aether Moirai was never meant to be free.Born from the final spark of the Abyss—a forgotten god’s last act of rebellion—he is the last vessel, a boy whose powers grow stronger the more his mind fractures. Bound by the Codex, a system that can rewrite history itself, Aether is hunted by worlds that fear what he might become.The Infinite Library has always been his home—a labyrinth between worlds where every book is a living realm, and every story is a battlefield. But when the tales begin to warp, birthing monsters and rewriting entire histories, even the Library’s endless shelves can’t protect him.To survive, Aether must step into dangerous books where myths breathe, legends bleed, and the wrong choice can erase you from existence. Each journey brings him closer to the truth of his creation—and the author who penned his fate.He is not the hero of these stories.He is the flaw in every one of them.

Zhou Xu, an interstellar military counselor, was selected by the “will not die in peace” system, and as a result, even though he had a great fear of pain, began his journey as villain, forced to die a terrible death over and over again. Zhou Xu, after going through a hundred worlds and dying a hundred times, finally changed. He wanted to retaliate!

In the waves of steam and machinery, who could achieve extraordinary? In the fogs of history and darkness, who was whispering? I woke up from the realm of mysteries and opened my eyes to the world.

Firearms, cannons, battleships, airships, and difference machines. Potions, divination, curses, hanged-man, and sealed artifacts… The lights shone brightly, yet the secrets of the world were never far away. This was a legend of the “Fool”.
