I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Authority cannot be without a master. Mento first explained the meaning, "In Demon King City, when the authority of an area is vacant for too long, the magic power will dissipate, and it will gradually lose the vitality to maintain the existence of space, and then be pulled into chaos..."

Chaos is disorder, a world where even demons can hardly survive, the sum of all good and evil.

"In this city, many once-illustrious areas... have now been annihilated and become forbidden areas in chaos."

Forbidden areas? Li Yue perked up at the mention because while it represents danger, it also represents some unique benefits.

"That's why I stopped you from killing Būdiboge and prevented you from becoming the Brain Spirit Lord." Mento sensed Li Yue's emotions, and the second half of his sentence was cold.

"Because the library cannot be annihilated."

"It preserves important demon heritage, as well as the history of humans and demons." To warn Li Yue, Mento touched Li Yue's head at this moment, freezing his thoughts.

Remember the first website domain name 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Li Yue couldn't even move a single thought.

"Although Būdiboge isn't much, he is at least the Brain Spirit Lord conferred by the Demon King, with his unique advantages." Mento ensured that Li Yue was listening wholeheartedly, "For example, being low-key enough, secretive enough, and not easily attracting trouble... Do you understand?"

Mento withdrew his finger, and Li Yue regained the ability to think—meaning Būdiboge's cowardice also had its advantages?

"What trouble?" Li Yue was no longer surprised by Mento's methods, answering as if nothing had happened.

Indeed, during his time in the library, Li Yue noticed that apart from the corpse collector and the demon kitchen's food cart, almost no other demons had come here. Was this all thanks to Būdiboge?

"Trouble? Of course, it comes from other high-ranking demons." Mento finally began to talk about the Demon King City's high-level isolation system, "Unless invited by the Lord of Authority or permitted by the City Lord, more than two high-ranking demons are not allowed to exist in the same area."

Li Yue understood, understanding why the Demon Wolf King Fentius was angry but didn't act, and also understanding why Winnie kept enticing him to visit her laboratory.

"And Būdiboge... further expanded the scope on this basis, rejecting most low-ranking demons with weak wills." Mento's tone contained some appreciation when he spoke of this.

"Huh? How did he do it?" Li Yue had never left the entrance of the library until now, and now that he thought about it, he found it even stranger. Why had he never had such thoughts?

"Using his 'imposition', he imposed the idea of 'fleeing' on low-ranking demons at the entrance." Mento's explanation enlightened Li Yue, and he even felt a sense of terror—had he never even noticed?

Was he influenced by Būdiboge's imposed thoughts every time he wandered to the entrance?

Was it because he was a Brain Spirit that he was accepted by Būdiboge's thoughts when he first returned to the library... and then he couldn't go out anymore?

Li Yue spent a lot of time calming down, recovering from the shock, and marveling that cowardice also had its advantages, at least it would do its best to maintain the peace around it...

Immediately afterward, Li Yue thought of another question—Būdiboge is gone, and the imposed thoughts are no longer there, doesn't that mean that these days... low-ranking demons will come to visit?

Can Mini and Mini hold them off? He needs to ask quickly and go back to work...

"And these... can you do it? Oh? Are you still worried about those low-ranking demons?" Mento saw the scene Li Yue imagined, and a worm on his chin exploded and died, blasted by the air pressure.

"Maybe I don't have his ability to 'impose', but I also have my own methods." Li Yue had no doubts about this and had always done so.

"But you are not a high-ranking demon, nor are you the Lord of Authority." Mento pointed out the key point in one sentence, "Right now, you have no way to use the rules to stop other high-ranking demons from coming."

Li Yue was stunned, then grinned: "That's why I came to you, to ask how to get the authority..."

"It's meaningless to take the authority; you are still not a high-ranking demon." Mento finally showed more emotion in front of Li Yue—this Demon King instructor was still very dissatisfied with Li Yue killing the Brain Spirit Lord.

"The person who holds the authority has the power of life and death in the area, including the distribution of magic power, the change of scenery... These are, of course, very intoxicating things." Mento only wanted to remind Li Yue of the importance of the library, "But are you really ready to face the pull of chaos and the harassment of demons?"

Li Yue only heard the first half, wanting to quickly hold the authority in his hands, to plan the distribution of magic power, and to help Mini and Mini quickly transform the library.

As for the second half, the so-called "pull of chaos," Li Yue felt it might be related to the broken space in the upper layer of the library—there was still a "door" there now, wasn't there?

As for where it leads... a mystery.

"Authority is not only a power but also a responsibility." Mento was too lazy to look at the scene Li Yue was imagining, angry, "The person who holds the authority has the obligation to protect the existence of demons in the area, to protect them from being eroded by chaos, and to protect them from falling into disorder."

"Disorder? I thought Demon King City was already disordered enough." Since his identity had been seen through, Li Yue dared to evaluate Demon King City itself in a human tone.

"Disorder does not mean slaughter; disorder is the chaos of all things, the development of everything that is unreasonable, the uncultivated and increasingly barbaric wilderness." Mento glanced at Li Yue meaningfully, "Chaos is the purest demon."

Hearing Mento say this, Li Yue became even more curious.

"And you have no reverence for this world." Mento immediately reacted, "You will not be like Būdiboge, becoming a Brain Spirit Lord who stays away from trouble."

Li Yue couldn't deny this evaluation—there were too many things in Demon King City that he couldn't adapt to, and he had to make changes according to his own aesthetics.

And after hearing the "warning" about chaos, Li Yue still believed that as long as he was prepared, even the unknown and empty nothingness... could be explored—that's how humans were in his previous life.

Do we have no reverence?

"Oh, I understand. You think the master of the library is best as a coward, helping you keep the accumulated knowledge." Li Yue also became a little angry with Mento's words, "But isn't that exactly what you expect me to do? Huh? Development beyond your expectations? Demon King?"

Mento was silent.

"Alright, stop hiding it. What is the use of authority, and how do I get it? Tell me quickly." Li Yue had never received malice from Būdiboge until now, so he opened up completely.

"Is that so... then so be it..." Mento paused, seeming to feel that this communication had not aroused enough reverence in Li Yue and was somewhat dissatisfied, and then began to talk about the acquisition and application of authority.

"Magic power distribution, terrain shaping, you know all of these..." Mento said slowly, unwillingly.

But in a place where Li Yue didn't perceive, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Mento's face, which was facing the six Demon King's children in class.

It was as if Li Yue's ambition, which had just been completely aroused... was the sweetest honey.
