I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Li Yue was speechless at his own barren imagination, but Mentor laughed, not taking it to heart. 【6】【9】【s】【h】【u】【x】【.】【c】【o】【m】

“Imposed effects… are actually based on the things you have sensed.” Mentor gave an example, “If ‘flame’ is something you have sensed, and you control this bone sword, then… you can ‘impose’ flame on this sword.”

As he spoke, the bone sword in Li Yue's hand ignited, but Li Yue felt no temperature at all.

Li Yue suspected… that the Brain Spirit Master, Budhiboge's, "Mind Imposition" was a type of "imposition."

“Of course, I don't want you to misunderstand… Imposition is to ‘impose’ effects on sensed objects, not to add effects to things hit by sensed objects.” Mentor shattered Li Yue's fantasy of “whoever gets stabbed explodes”.

In short, the two steps of advancement Mentor mentioned are actually based on the Brain Spirit's perception of external objects, using external objects to enhance its own strength.

“The third step, imagination, is to imagine a real entity based on your understanding of the world…” Mentor pointed to the fire sword in Li Yue's hand, “If we still use it as an example… such as materializing a bed made of bone swords, a throne made of bone swords, constantly burning with flames…”

“It could also be a room filled with sword mountains, a ferocious beast with bone swords as teeth…” Along with Mentor's words, the bone sword was constantly copied, assembled into various bizarre shapes.

This time it was Li Yue's turn to slander Mentor's lack of imagination—the Demon Illustrated Handbook can also do this just by changing the shape of the bones. The key is how to fuse and activate things with different characteristics…

And I came from another world, I can completely use my previous life as a reference to make something amazing…

What about a Gundam? A bone sword Gundam?

It seems quite difficult—Li Yue considered it according to the Brain Spirit's advancement studies, and found that if he wanted to make a Gundam, in addition to choosing the right materials, he would at least have to turn various energy sources and lasers into his own sensed objects before he could implement it…

However, Li Yue understood what Mentor meant—the Brain Spirit's advancement can be said to have no restrictions, provided that it lives long enough and turns enough things into its own sensed objects… and then fuses different novel things through "imposition" and "imagination".

“However, the materialized ‘imagined object’ will be based on the strength of your will, so it may be very fragile.” Mentor shrugged, “Overall, the strength of imagined objects is difficult to compare with real objects… but your willpower… might be something to watch.”

The steel-like will of a working man?

Li Yue mocked himself, temporarily extinguishing his endless imagination, knowing that he still had to take one step at a time.

“This is the Brain Spirit's ‘Advancement Studies’, which is also the Brain Spirit's possibilities.” Mentor flicked his sleeves and gathered his hands again.

Li Yue raised some questions—Mentor's Advancement Studies did not explain Budhiboge's current situation.

The corpses surrounding the Brain Spirit Master can be understood as sensed objects, and the "thoughts" once given to the Brain Spirits can be understood as imposition, that is, the skill of "Mind Imposition", but how should the fused "Slave Owner" Bodekoli be explained?

“In addition to this, there are also some advancement rules applicable to all demons…” Mentor nodded, and sketched out the appearance of the Brain Spirit Master Budhiboge in the void again.

“That is ‘Mutation’.” As Mentor spoke, Budhiboge's lines continued to wriggle and change shape, “Strong emotional stimulation, environmental stimulation… will all trigger the mutation of demons.”

“This also constitutes the strangeness of demons, the strangeness in form, and the strangeness in ability.” Mentor suddenly opened his hands, and countless worlds interwoven with humans and demons unfolded in the void, like a star chart, “That's why so many demons like to play with humans, like to sneak into human society…”

“This will give them great stimulation and more possibilities for mutation.” The worms on Mentor's chin trembled wildly, “Correspondingly… it will also make the demons fall into obsession and madness, and finally become pure mad consciousness, no longer possessing sanity, only retaining some simple demonic instincts, such as devouring, excreting…”

In the star chart, countless demons instantly went mad, quickly devouring all the humans, and then killing and polluting each other, covering the entire star chart with stains, and then returning to nothingness.

Li Yue always felt that Mentor showed him this, as if it was not just teaching "Advancement Studies", but also a little bit of personal gain.

However, Li Yue quickly gave up the idea of studying the star chart—anyway, under the "Absorption" blessing, it exists in his memory, and he can watch it at any time.

“Sensing, Imposition, Imagination…” Li Yue recalled what Mentor had just said, and finally knew what he, as a Brain Spirit, had to do to become stronger, and what he had to do to reconstruct the order around him.

Let's start with "Sensing"—Li Yue has already used the flying sword smoothly. Combining the various functions of the Demon Illustrated Handbook, he suddenly felt that the future was bright and he could evolve a path that belonged to him, which even Mentor could not predict.

This may be… the reason why Mentor would treat him differently?

Li Yue couldn't help but glance at Mentor.

“What do you want to ask?” After some communication, Mentor's attitude was not as rigid as before.

“Why are there so many Brain Spirits in the Library, but none of them are high-level?” Li Yue completely failed to find their desire to sense external objects in other Brain Spirits.

“What do you think?” Mentor smiled, “Have you… sensed the flow of magic in the Library?”

“No…” Li Yue shook his head, suddenly remembering that there was indeed a faint flow of magic on the way from the vegetable garden to the Library on the first night, but after entering the Library, it was completely gone, as if someone had deliberately done it.

“Budhiboge?” Li Yue opened the Demon Illustrated Handbook in his mind and looked back at the description, reading a bit of a different meaning.

“Does not allow the existence of the same kind that can challenge itself.”

“Yes.” All the worms on Mentor's chin nodded together, “To get Budhiboge's consent, or kill him, the Brain Spirits in the Library may be nourished by magic.”

“Then…” Li Yue immediately had a new question, “Why… do Brain Spirits resurrect?”

“You want to ask if Budhiboge will resurrect, right?” Mentor had already analyzed Li Yue's hit list.

“No, why do Brain Spirits resurrect?” What Li Yue wanted to judge was whether he had the possibility of resurrection.

“That's because the altar of Demon King City is taking effect.” Mentor did not dwell on the reason for Li Yue's question, “Brain Spirits are born in places with rich knowledge, intertwined thoughts, and a large amount of magic gathering, and the Library… meets this requirement.”

“And as the native demon of Demon King City, Budhiboge has been conferred by the Demon King, so he has a separate altar…” Mentor outlined the shape of an altar, “A wisp of the Brain Spirits' soul will be lodged in the altar. As long as the magic exists and the altar is not destroyed, they can extract the soul and resurrect each time they die.”

“But you don't need to worry… Although the altar can retain the soul, the memory will be shattered, and the magic will only return to the initial level, which is completely incomparable with the rebirth of pure-blooded demons…”

Mentor explained, but Li Yue knew that if he died, the Brain Spirit that crawled out of the altar would definitely not be himself—the soul of the transmigrator is not here, and the resurrected one should be the original one.

But Budhiboge is the same, dying is dying, even if he resurrects, he will no longer be the same as before, and he will not be so overwhelmingly powerful.

“And this also explains why Budhiboge can control all the magic flow in the Library.” Mentor pointed to the altar in the void.

“Demon King Conferment? Brain Spirit Master?” Li Yue guessed that perhaps “Brain Spirit Master” was not just a title, but a “conferment” with real authority.

“When a demon becomes powerful to a certain extent, a Demon King-level demon can give it a demon name… Budhiboge, Daiman Coke…” Mentor mentioned a few familiar names, “This is the ritual of the first generation Demon Kings, the glory of demons.”

Li Yue was a little curious whether “Mentor” was also a demon name bestowed by a certain Demon King.

“At the same time as bestowing the demon name, a part of the authority of Demon King City will also be divided…” Mentor thoughtfully knew what Li Yue wanted to know, “For example, the Brain Spirit Master will suppress all the Brain Spirits of Demon King City in terms of position, making you unable to resist…”

“And… you can call upon all the magic in the Library.”

Li Yue was saddened, and felt more and more that Budhiboge was difficult to deal with.

“How about it, do you want me to bestow a name on you?” This time, Li Yue clearly knew that Mentor's question was not alms, but a transaction.
