I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The instant Egg was thrown in, the force that shattered space seemed to converge entirely on it, erupting in a series of cracking sounds, "pop, pop, pop."

The cracking echoed in Li Yue's mind, even threatening to spread, and in an instant, the cave entrance crumbled, the Bone of Self-Healing showing signs of collapse once more.

Seeing that Li Yue didn't retreat a step, Yingying couldn't help but feel even more respect—the cracks were beginning to spread; she was a shadow and could still piece herself back together, but the Brain Spirit wasn't afraid either?

In reality, Li Yue was somewhat stunned, amazed by Egg's performance.

The residual power was already so shocking, but when that immense force landed on Egg, it only stirred up layers of ripples, without affecting its actions in the slightest.

There was nothing to affect—Egg didn't move at all.

It was also in this instant that Li Yue clearly sensed signs of the space reassembling, his consciousness once again extending through the space in a normal manner, waiting for the space to be pieced together while gradually approaching the altar in the center.

But that was a slow process.

The solitary Egg was thrown into the rock cave of the core area, and the cave was instantly filled with countless scattered pages, broken walls, and shattered wood, as if an egg had shattered the facade of space, tearing away its disguise to reveal its most authentic form.

In the very center was a soul altar like a stone pier, with a "book"-shaped emblem engraved on it.

Surrounding the altar, besides the pages and broken walls, was also a very real blue-purple cloak, a ball of blue-purple cloak—the cloak slowly floated beside the altar, containing something about the same size as Egg, but what exactly it was remained unknown.

The authority of the Library? Or some other treasure?

At this moment, Li Yue was extremely anxious about the progress of the space piecing back together, but there was nothing he could do—Egg could only passively endure the squeezing of the shattered space, and couldn't actively change anything; Li Yue could only wait for the space in the rock cave to be slowly pieced back together.

Although Li Yue didn't understand the reasoning behind it, he guessed that that space should exist in accordance with some kind of broken rule, and Egg's appearance broke this rule, which in turn caused an effect.

Because it couldn't be destroyed, it anchored this space?

Li Yue hadn't expected Egg to be used like this—the summon of this otherworld demon was very cost-effective, and almost tailor-made for the current scene, giving Li Yue a feeling of good luck for a moment.

Of course, the result still depended on what exactly the "cloak" was, whether the remaining pages of forbidden books had value, and whether they could be used…

"How is it? How is it?" Yingying asked anxiously, seeing that Li Yue remained silent.

"Almost there." Li Yue's consciousness had already passed Egg and extended to the middle of the rock cave, "It's almost back to normal…"

At the same time, those broken walls floating in the air also began to piece together according to some pattern, and a small section of corridor and wall appeared in the direction leading to the center; the pages and shattered wood also reassembled in the air like a jigsaw puzzle, and the outline of a bookshelf gradually began to form…

The space was reassembling!

Yingying completely integrated into Li Yue's shadow, infinitely close to him, feeling the power of this king—not only was he not afraid of the shattering of space, but he also casually brought an egg to break this powerful curse?

What kind of child of the devil was this…

Accompanied by Yingying's fantasies and Li Yue's observation, Egg's tiny particles trembled, seeming to want to say something, but hindered by the space, neither sound nor words could take shape.

At this time, Li Yue's consciousness could already touch Egg, and he decisively transmitted a thought: "What did you find?"

It seemed like he couldn't hear clearly; Egg barely formed the particles into a bowl shape, and then a jumbled voice came out: "This place… is really comfortable… Are there places like this?"

Egg had already thought about the future, afraid that it would never be able to enjoy this pleasure again.

Li Yue couldn't help but suspect that if he answered "No," Egg would actively ask to come out, giving up on restoring the space.

"There will definitely be more." Li Yue was very sure—this space was formed after the "Heart of Purgatory" exploded, and it was estimated that the magic of the soul altar collided with it, so there must be more than one soul altar in the Demon King City, and there would definitely be such opportunities in the future.

Not to mention the distant ones, there was also the "door" on the outer wall of the upper layer of the Library, which was full of chaos?

"Okay! Remember to bathe me later!" Egg said, and the tiny particles began to spread out under its body, and then moved at high speed!

As if laying a fixed track under its body, Egg's main body began to roll, constantly accelerating—faster and faster, more and more blurred, gradually unable to see the oval shape, and then the whole egg turned into a ball of silver light and shadow.

The particles were withdrawn, and Egg seemed to turn into a silver cannonball, directly hitting the soul altar in the center!

"Hey…" Li Yue was startled—did this guy want to smash the soul altar?

Before he could stop it, the silver cannonball attacked the soul altar, but passed through the altar in an instant without colliding!

Immediately afterwards, the silver cannonball circled the field, and the floating remaining pages, broken walls, and shattered wood were reorganized in a flash, becoming a square stone chamber like the rock cave!

The corridor of the stone chamber led to the rock passage where Li Yue and Yingying were, as if sending out some kind of invitation; Egg stood at the end of the corridor, like a guardian deity from another world.

"Okay, shall we go together?" Li Yue's heart surged, and he extended an invitation to Yingying.

For no reason, Yingying experienced a shyness she had never felt before, and took Li Yue's shadow, following him closely through the corridor, her outline becoming more gentle.

"Help me…" Egg certainly remembered Li Yue's promise to "bathe" it, but at this moment, it was more concerned about what mystery the reorganized soul altar had, and asked Li Yue and Yingying to stay inside with it.

The three demons supported each other as they entered the stone chamber, looking at the soul altar in the center in silence, quietly sensing it.

The altar was like a basin—not knowing what the other two felt, Li Yue could now perceive the souls constantly twisting and coiling in the center of the altar.

They all seemed to be alive, all waiting to return to Demon King City when the altar took effect.

One of the souls was hiding at the bottom of the basin, giving Li Yue a very strong sense of familiarity—Budiboge, this was Budiboge's soul; sure enough, he would be resurrected.

Was the authority still with him?

Li Yue wasn't very sure, and decided to block him in the seventh library next Green Time—not blocking him himself, but asking Yingying or Minimi Ni to block him.

His consciousness moved upwards, the souls in the basin… were all nourishing the blue-purple cloak suspended above the altar, releasing wisps of life force to stimulate its constant wriggling.

When Li Yue probed his consciousness towards the cloak, he suddenly discovered that the cloak itself felt smooth and silky, definitely not an ordinary object; the layers inside were like an onion, wrapping the innermost object, not giving Li Yue a chance to investigate.

Treasure? Curse? Unspeakable existence?

Li Yue couldn't guess.

Of course, there was a trace of a gap between each layer, and if there was enough time, Li Yue could completely use his consciousness to gradually penetrate the cloak's wrapping and probe the specific situation inside…

"This is a soul altar for resurrecting Brain Spirits, this is a demon relic… right?" Yingying pointed to the altar and the cloak respectively, giving her own guesses.

Egg listened quietly, bowl-shaped.

"Maybe." Li Yue remained noncommittal, and instead began to study the remaining pages of forbidden books beside him.

《Brain Spirit Dissection》, 《Pituitary Gland Extraction Ritual》, 《Perception Potion Production》…

The first row of forbidden books were all related to Brain Spirits; obviously, Budiboge had independently classified them as "forbidden books," hiding them in the upper layer, researching them while also preventing the birth of other high-level Brain Spirits.

《Signing of Soul Contracts》, 《Death Experiment on Contract Breakers》, 《Escaping the Land of Restraint》…

The second row was Budiboge's efforts to break the soul contract; unfortunately, he didn't find a feasible method, and eventually had to go to the colosseum.

In a hasty glance, the remaining pages of forbidden books in the second row seemed to record some methods for signing soul contracts…

Looking at the next few rows, Li Yue wasn't calm anymore.
