I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

[Time... Pattern...]

In that instant, Li Yue's entire body was covered in mutated eyes. He looked up and spoke the name of the Time Pattern in his mind.

This time, Li Yue clearly knew which of the chaotic streaks and symbols rolling in the sky were the Time Pattern's true form, and which were the ripples caused by the entanglement of the Twin Rivers and the Crown of Authority.

After experiencing countless worlds in Mount Jue, the battle between the gods in the sky became clearer.

Rather than a battle, it was more like mutual crushing.

The collisions between them were more like unconscious encounters, stirring up light mist and cracks.

And within the cracks torn open by the Time Pattern, countless knowledge and consciousness were hidden.

Li Yue felt the Time Pattern watching him.

In the brain grooves facing the sky, every crevice was filled with words and symbols, squeezing out the mutated eyes and causing the eyeballs to burst into juice one after another.

Li Yue's body gradually resembled some kind of inexplicable chaotic dish, with deflated cream puffs and milk mixed together.

The side facing the sky was dyed blood red.

Until Li Yue's head could no longer accommodate any extra thoughts, the Time Pattern gradually receded.

Then Li Yue began to mutate again.

The knowledge projected by the Time Pattern could easily cause people to lose control—even if He wasn't actively trying to.

Faced with this situation, Ying'er lacked experience and froze directly; Yingying reacted immediately, drawing a shadow needle and piercing it into Li Yue's brain.

"Lend me your brains..."

Nolamoyle wrote the word 'Shadow' on the ground, and the shadow needle suddenly split and lengthened, piercing into the heads of Spade and Akka respectively.

Spade didn't react, but Akka seemed to have received a brain massage.

The blood red on Li Yue's head spread evenly, transmitting to the shadow needle and stuffing it into Akka's head.

Faced with this sudden knowledge, Akka was very calm. The blood red was transmitted by the shadow needle, finally absorbing the chaotic color into his temples.

"Heh... I saw everything..." Akka's mouth twitched, and his head bulged. For a moment, there were also signs of mutation.

The cloak behind him wrapped around his head, and countless souls frantically pressed on the bulging areas of his brain. After bursting and wailing, everything finally returned to calm.

At this moment, Li Yue's body returned to its complete scarlet color. Each brain groove was like a crack filled with blood, and the color of the entire brain became much richer.

"All good?" Egg asked.

"It's good..." Li Yue had a headache. After the headache, he understood everything that had just happened—the Time Pattern's gaze brought inexplicable knowledge that he couldn't distinguish or understand with his own brainpower, thus causing mutation.

And Yingying, relying on her position as one with Li Yue, forcibly stuffed this knowledge into Akka's brain.

Akka consumed countless souls from the Abyss Maw, using their souls as carriers, forcibly stuffing it into their cognition and memories, only then barely 'storing' this knowledge.

Only a Demon King-level Akka, backed by so many souls, could do this.

"Are you okay?" Li Yue asked Akka.

"You don't need to worry about me," Akka chuckled.

"I'm not worried about you. My next sentence was going to be, can you understand it?" Li Yue felt that it was knowledge transmitted by the God of Knowledge, the Time Pattern, and there might be some good things mixed in.

"I..." Akka was a little speechless.

In a certain instant, Akka did see "everything," even the ending that enveloped himself.

It's just that the ending was fused with the "endings" and "beginnings" of countless people, completely indistinguishable, more like some kind of illusion.

"Can you take it out?" Li Yue didn't want to let go of this knowledge.

Even if it was just a fleeting glance from the Time Pattern.

"Yes, do you want it?" Akka turned his head.

"Not yet, my brainpower isn't enough yet, keep it with you for now." Li Yue felt that after advancing to an Imaginary Being, he should have enough ability to distinguish the knowledge within.

Demon King-level, Quasi-Demon King-level... should all be able to barely glimpse it.

Now, among the four Demon Princes plus Akka, only Li Yue's level is the lowest, and he hasn't even touched the threshold of Quasi-Demon King-level.

"So that's the god of this world?" Akka recalled the sky just now, licking his lips, "Looks delicious."

"Then you have to work hard. You haven't even eaten a Demon King yet, I'm afraid you can't swallow Him," Li Yue spread his brain grooves.

"Are you stronger now?" Egg had been in a daze for a long time. Seeing that everyone wasn't talking, he finally asked the most curious question.

This trip to Mount Jue was originally Li Yue's idea, and this Brain Spirit pierced through countless bubbles inside, mutating twice just from mutation alone, so he should be stronger, right?

That's what Egg thought.

[I'm stronger, I'm softer...]

Egg also absorbed a lot of light mist in Mount Jue. Each grain of light mist is the substance and nourishment of a certain world, so it is now very full and satisfied.

Akka also devoured many inexplicable souls in various bubbles, otherwise it would be difficult to bear the knowledge that the Time Pattern stared over.

As for Yingying and Ying'er, they both gained a better understanding of the operating rules of things in the process of deconstructing various worlds...

The eyes of all the demons present were fixed on Li Yue, wanting to know what the Brain Spirit had gained.

"Stronger, but not stronger." Li Yue tasted it. Although his brain was scarlet, he didn't admit that he had undergone any qualitative change.

The emotions and principles gained from countless worlds in the bubbles will all feed back into the construction of the Imaginary Continent—that is to say, this trip to Mount Jue not only harvested the walls and outer walls of the Imaginary Continent, but also greatly enriched the content that can exist inside.

Before, he could only imagine someone walking, but now, Li Yue can imagine this person's birth, old age, sickness, and death.

However, these experiences... can only exist in the Demon Voyage before advancement, and cannot be quickly realized.

So it is stronger, but not stronger.

It can be understood as being more solid.

Otherwise, relying solely on these few wars in the Chaos Continent, plus the sporadic activities in Red Oil Town, Rift Gold Mountain, and Barren City, it would be difficult to construct a continent that can truly operate completely.

So the initial 11 anchor points were only the minimum requirement, only able to meet the initial imaginary needs and maintain the stability of the structure...

These have been greatly strengthened in this trip to Mount Jue.

The Imaginary Continent at the time of advancement is likely to have the possibility of self-operating iteration from the very beginning—so many worlds in the bubbles are born and die, all of which are references for the Imaginary Continent.

"Are you lying to my snail butt?" Egg didn't believe it, "You've mutated."

In Egg's understanding, mutation is a signal of upgrading—Copper Spoon and Little Harry all became very powerful after mutating.

"Believe it or not." Li Yue calmed down slightly, looked at the Ideal Land that had been dismembered without a trace, and prepared to piece together a new one.

Kakarot sat aside, playing with his hand—a bloody hole had just been pierced through it, which hurt quite a bit.

"Haha, anyway, you will participate in the Slaughter Cup. We will know then!" Egg was preparing to experience Li Yue's new power in the arena.

And Li Yue didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, carefully observing the Demon Voyage in his mind, and seeing that the light mist had spread across the whole, leaving only the Lunde River and the Drizzle Corridor as anchor points.

At this moment, looking at Mount Jue in front of him, Li Yue had already realized that this place was connected to chaos, and said silently in his heart.

[After advancing... maybe I can go home and take a look?]

Li Yue's desire to advance had never been so strong.
