I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle
#110 - Let me try
If Li Yue wasn't a transmigrator, he really would have been scared by the egg. Google Search Reading
While I am analyzing it, it is also observing me?
Also, how did it master the common language of demons? Clearly, during this period, my communication with Yingying hasn't produced any sound... Even if it can parse text, there's no reason it should grasp the pronunciation, right?
"Hello," Li Yue said, suppressing the shock in his heart.
"Where is this... Chaos... It seems a little different from my world..." The egg muttered to itself, then suddenly became very polite, "I'm very sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am a 'Spade' larva. If everything goes smoothly, it will take another 96 Chaos cycles to mature... Nice to meet you, please guide me."
"You can call me... Eggie." The particles formed into the shape of an arm, extending towards Li Yue.
"Please guide me..." Li Yue grasped the hand formed of particles, the touch cool and greasy, like grabbing a handful of constantly shifting metallic sand.
An alien creature?
Li Yue completely couldn't understand what "Spade" referred to and could only wait for the Demon Illustrated Handbook to complete its analysis. But in his guess... since the Demon Illustrated Handbook also classified humans as a type of "demon," then "alien creature" being equivalent to "otherworldly demon" could barely hold up.
However, it still needs 96 years to mature, so it should still be within a manageable range. No need to rush to send it back?
Having just managed to deal with Budibog and the others, Li Yue wasn't ready to face a new trouble.
"It is very impolite not to state your name when the other party introduces themselves," Eggie's particles condensed into a somewhat angry skull face.
"Oh, I am Skullrick, the Skull Prince, wielder of the Bone Sword, the Demon Child of the Skull Clan." Since Li Yue was wearing Skullrick's face, he naturally expanded on this identity.
Eggie's particles slowly transformed into a question mark, seemingly confused about whether Li Yue was introducing several people.
After a moment, Eggie understood: "I am Eggie, a 'Spade' larva, wielder of the Mother Planet, the wandering garbage of the universe, indestructible ultimate matter..."
"Enough, enough." Li Yue gripped Eggie's hand tightly. "Hello, Eggie, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Li Yue rarely encountered a communication partner who could barely be considered "normal," but he didn't expect it to be an egg.
"Did you summon me here, right? What are your requests?" Eggie was like a god, listening to Li Yue's wishes.
"It's nothing..." How could Li Yue dare to say that he originally wanted to call you here to take the hit?
But according to Eggie's description of itself, "indestructible ultimate matter"... perhaps it really has something going for it?
[Analysis complete, Demon Illustrated Handbook entry 9901 — Spade]
During their conversation, the Demon Illustrated Handbook finally completed its analysis, and Li Yue could finally follow the clues and see through Eggie's details before cautiously communicating with it.
[Spade, Distribution: Unknown; Lifespan: 300-; Habits: Polite, happy to withstand collisions and strikes, constantly seeking its own limits. Upon becoming mature, it will become a fixed form based on the damage it has endured; Hobbies: Heavy blows / extreme cold / bathing in magma; Skills: Particle Mimicry; Action Prediction Success Rate: 132%; Weakness: The transition period from larva to maturity]
As expected, as an "otherworldly demon," Eggie's information was generally outrageous, starting with "Unknown"—judging from its lifespan, the Spade's lifespan even exceeded the lifespan limit of the Demon Scribes; and the description of its habits also explained the problem...
In short, it's a masochist?
And unlike other demons, Eggie's introduction in the Demon Illustrated Handbook had an extra line: "Obsession."
[Obsession: A heavy blow sufficient to crack the egg]
[Summoning otherworldly demons are not driven or restricted, but completing their obsession can build a healthy relationship...]
In other words, as long as you can break Eggie, you can become friends?
Seeing this line of introduction, Li Yue subconsciously wanted to use the "Thorn of Decay" to give it a shot, but unfortunately, Budibog had only died recently, and he would have to wait until the next Red Hour to have the chance to stab Eggie.
And apart from the "Thorn of Decay," Li Yue couldn't think of any other means he had to break the egg, so he had to endure it for now.
Tsk, it was really a pity that he didn't call it to take the hit back then...
Perhaps when summoning otherworldly demons, the Demon Illustrated Handbook could sense his intentions and then make a certain degree of screening?
And this thing... only has a fixed form when it matures? What will Eggie's form be?
A nurturing system?
Li Yue first suppressed this question in his heart and continued reading—Eggie's hobbies were also relatively special, including extreme cold and heat in addition to the expected "heavy blows."
Analyzing from "wandering garbage of the universe," the Spade clan seemed to really be constantly exploring the limits, and "bathing in magma"... wouldn't that be exactly what he wanted?
Couldn't Li Yue's abrupt red right hand turn into handfuls of magma?
Finally, looking at the weakness—the Spade's only weakness was the transition period from larva to maturity, otherwise invincible?
As for the malice consumption required to transform Eggie... it surprisingly reached 100,000?
Li Yue was shocked by Eggie's own "quality" and also had some considerations on how to "use" Eggie—seeing that this otherworldly demon was so polite, it didn't seem appropriate not to inform it?
Since both sides had no conflicting interests, it was better to tell it now than to have it discover it on its own.
"Um... I have no requests, or rather, do you want to go back?" Li Yue gave Eggie a chance to choose for itself. "I can send you back."
Although this would consume 1 hard-earned Demon Point, Li Yue felt that once he gained a foothold, there would be many opportunities to hunt demons.
Hearing that Li Yue wanted to send it back, Eggie's particles suddenly wrinkled together: "What, am I getting in your way?"
"No, it's a matter of politeness." Li Yue quickly found the key to communicating with Eggie. "After all, I didn't ask for your consent when I pulled you over, so this time, you choose for yourself."
"How about it, want to go back?" Li Yue actually guessed the answer.
"Either way is fine..." Eggie was silent for a moment, its particles scattering randomly. "This planet... also has some substances I need to grow, perhaps I can stay for a while."
Li Yue now suspected that Eggie's particles also had some kind of mode of operation, capable of sensing and learning about this world—otherwise, how could he explain the egg's initial silence and sudden mastery of the common language of demons?
"But what I actually care more about is... does this world have anything that can hurt me? I need a lot of help in this regard before I mature..." Eggie's particles once again formed a bowl shape, seemingly trying to sense the chaos and danger of the Chaos Continent.
"Seems not bad." Eggie gave an evaluation.
"It definitely can." Li Yue thought that there were simply too many opportunities to be beaten, especially with his "Abominable" status, he really needed a shield.
Even if this shield was just an egg, and a very heavy egg that was difficult to move.
Although the Self-Healing Bone plus the defensive ability of the binding threads was pretty good, it was still not enough against truly powerful demons—Budibog was seriously injured to the point of being near death, and even his will could only stay within a range of ten feet, but he could still instantly crush the Self-Healing Bone and threaten Li Yue's main body. Then, if it were other demons who were more skilled in combat, it would obviously be more dangerous.
As for the problem of being too heavy to move... Li Yue could completely solve it through "soaking."
Anyway, after killing Budibog, there were no urgent troubles that needed to be resolved for the time being. Li Yue felt that he still had some time to "soak" Eggie.
As for testing Eggie's sturdiness... not to mention the distant future, wasn't there an opportunity right in front of him?
The core area was still in a broken state, and he didn't know if Yingying had found a way to enter. If it really didn't work, throwing "Egg" to ask for directions was also an option.
"Then I'll stay." Eggie extended its "hand" again. "Please guide me, Skullrick, the Skull Prince, wielder of the Bone Sword, the Demon Child of the Skull Clan..."
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Li Yue firmly grasped the cool, greasy hand, and then asked, "Are you interested in... feeling some of the tearing force of space fragmentation?"
"Of course. I'm very interested in that strange area..." Eggie had already sensed the state of the core area, as if it had encountered a big meal, "Let me have a taste."
