The Villains Regression I became feared by The Gods

At the end of the world, he stood alone—bloodied, triumphant, and betrayed.

The Calamity Sovereign, slayer of gods, was executed by the very disciple he raised.



But death was not the end.



Reborn centuries in the past as a nameless slave boy, he awakens in a world untouched by divinity—where mortals still kneel, where faith still blinds, and where the gods have yet to rise.



He remembers everything.

The betrayals. The divine lies. The weakness beneath their holy thrones.



Now called Ashen, he hides in shadows and silence, wearing obedience like a mask. With no sword, no title, and no power, he begins again—not to save the world…



…but to corrupt it from within.



He’ll build a cult from broken souls, poison faith with heresy, and raise empires on ash.

He’ll turn holy champions into doubters, sacred relics into weapons, and former allies into pawns.



And when the gods finally descend?



He’ll be waiting.
