I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

“Lord Lind… I understand.” Qihe looked at the Watchman with a rare expression of respect.

“However, I seem to have seen them in the Chaos, past or future, your enemies.” The Watchman, Lind, frowned, the second hand counting down between his eyebrows, “It seems they took something from me…”

Lind's words always carried a vague sense of distraction, as if he couldn't distinguish between past memories and future encounters.

Perhaps Lind was referring to the moment when the Bone Ship pierced through the illusory light of Chaos, killing Steel Baby.

“I know… that's why you support me, support me in launching another assault on Demon King City.” Qihe was like a respectful disciple, echoing his mentor's words.

“Only if I, Menna, and Tim join forces to put pressure on the royal family can we guarantee the Tower's position, and also guarantee your initiative in this war…” Lind said earnestly, “Only if the three of us don't fall, suppressing the prophecies of Fire Burial Valley and the calamities of the Great Ice Rift, can we allow the Tower to always look down upon the world…”

The dial showed an apocalyptic scene of ice and fire intertwined.

Apart from Qihe, the three Great Archmages of the Dark Star Society each performed their duties, maintaining the stability of the continent's structure.

“How is the White Demon in your body?” Lind asked about Qihe's condition.

“With your help, the White Demon has stabilized a lot and has become my power…” Qihe said hesitantly, not because the White Demon's suppression was problematic, but because of that restless Hero's soul.

Lind did not answer, waiting for Qihe to explain further.

“But… there is a Hero's soul who was once made into a corpse by the Corpse Collector, constantly trying to break free from my control.” Qihe had to tell his own situation, not daring to lie to Lind.

Because Qihe knew that lies could not withstand time.

“Hmm?” Lind seemed unaware of this reality, and after a moment of silence, he reached out and flipped through layers of wriggling time slices, finally finding the figure of that old-school Hero, Soya.

From getting lost in the arena to the Mouth of the Abyss, encountering the Demon Guard, being taken away by the Corpse Collector…

Soya's adventure was very simple, but a few scenes in the process caught Lind's attention.

“He encountered bones…” Lind pointed out the moment in the time slice when Soya encountered the Bone River in the arena's underground.

Qihe was very surprised.

In Qihe's speculation, Soya should have some relationship with Isaac, otherwise, why could he move so recklessly even after being made into a corpse?

“This is a warning, you must prevent him from encountering that demon again, that demon from another time…” Lind gave his advice.

“But if it weren't for him, perhaps you would already be dead…” Lind adjusted the time, adjusting it to the moment when Qihe was cursed by the twin swords, and then regained his ability to act thanks to Soya's whip.

“He, like Isaac, is a pure Hero of this era, you must use his heart, not his body…” Lind muttered to himself, finally concluding, “Feel him, but don't use him, understand?”

“Understood.” Qihe nodded heavily.

“And… that demon from another river of time is your greatest enemy.” Lind focused on the Bag Demon and the sea of bones released by the Bag Demon in the time slice.

“He has been summoning demons from other rivers of time… He is the most detestable demon of this era…” Lind moved the slice, focusing his gaze on Egg and A'ka beside the Bag Demon.

“If you can't stop it, it will bring more turbulence…” Lind's eyes showed worry.

Qihe stared firmly at the vampire in the big red cloak, recalling the blood-colored rainbow that pushed him to the Northern Lands, feeling very annoyed—even at this moment, Qihe's robe still had countless scars, all caused by this vampire.

“Don't be swayed by personal emotions, don't hate it. If you succeed, it will become our helper, it will bring disaster to the Demon King.” Lind unfolded countless blurred time slices.

In those slices, most of them were images of A'ka fighting fiercely with the current Demon King.

“Everything depends on this battle, this battle determines countless futures.” Lind concluded.

Qihe silently noted it down.

“The Empire's Prince Noah Alexander will travel with General Fischer of the King's Sword, to serve as an alternate commander.” Lind pointed out the name of the Imperial supervisor who was about to arrive, “You are still the commander of the Imperial Army, but the prerequisite is to continuously add weight to the scales of victory together with the Holy Path Army.”

This time, the Empire no longer blindly trusted the Tower, but placed a prince and a true Imperial general behind Qihe, ready to replace Qihe's commander position at any time.

This was already the result of the Tower putting pressure on the royal family.

Although Qihe is still the first choice to lead the Imperial Army, the consequences are imaginable if he fails.

“The three of us will silently support you, you must ensure this victory.”

“Your terrible performance has created cracks in the Empire's trust in us, and has also given the Department of Creation and the armies opportunities to take advantage of.”

“You must prove with facts that magic is still the power controlling the Chaos Continent, the era of creation may come, but not now…”

“If it weren't for that demon attacking the Department of Creation as well, proving that the power of creation cannot protect the Divine Oath, you wouldn't exist now.” Lind did not unfold the time slice this time, referring to the Bone Tree in the Department of Creation not long ago.

“The Heavenly Ridge has fallen, and there are already traces of the Creation Cult in the future…”

“The Tower has already felt the dual pressure from the Department of Creation and the Creation Cult…”

“I need to constantly cut away the Creation Cult's past, reduce the Creation Cult's future, and reduce turbulence.”

“Whether or not the growth of the Creation Cult can be ended… depends on the outcome of this war…”

“The Department of Creation, Woodson is the Tower's greatest enemy in the future…” Lind's words were astonishing.

If Li Yue heard this conversation, he might have a completely new judgment on the situation of the Empire.

“I understand, this is my last chance.” Qihe fiercely burned himself with elemental power, reminding himself of the importance of this war.

“You only have this much time.” Lind finally spoke of time again.

He pointed to his furrowed brow, the second hand swinging back and forth.

“If you exceed this time, there will no longer be time belonging to you.”

“You will become a legend, an inconspicuous symbol in the river of time…”

“You must break through Demon King City within this time, so that we can go in and see the Demon King…”

“Capture Demon King City, so that the Tower can stand at the pinnacle of the continent…” Lind spoke of the Dark Star Society's expectations.

The Demon King wants Qihe's relics to enhance Demon King City's elemental affinity, but doesn't the Dark Star Society also want to capture A'cheng and stack the Tower?

“You must not disappoint us…” Lind removed all time slices, quietly watching Qihe.

“The Dark Star will surely reach the top.” Qihe replied firmly.

“To ensure this future, I have reached a consensus with Menna, we will send you a gift.”

With that, Lind broke off the second hand from the dial and pierced it into Qihe's brow.

Time surged, illusory light flowed, and colorful light mists constantly gathered in the center of Qihe's brow, as if Lind had pierced a hole from the Chaos and poked it into Qihe's head.

The light flow on Qihe's robe flowed with illusionary colors.
