I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle
#238 - predecessor
Li Yue had seen high-level demons like Budi Boge and Oogie Boogie, and had also been maliciously watched by the Demon Wolf King Fenterus, and had even personally experienced the explosion of Vinnie's Infernal Heart next to him…
But when facing this infant, Li Yue subconsciously shrank his head, feeling a deep fear, feeling that the previous ones were not so terrible, and the feeling of their magic power… was far less terrifying and evil than the one in front of him. Google search reading
It was like being stared at by a manic consciousness, not knowing whether it would open its mouth or explode in the next second.

The analysis speed was very slow, and the three sons of demons were staring at an infant.
“Budi Boge?” Stunned was not a solution, Li Yue thought, anyway, the cloak was next to the soul altar of the library, always a bit related to the former Brain Spirit Lord, right?
Let’s just chat casually, and when the analysis is done, we can have a way to deal with it.
“This name… sounds familiar…” The infant raised its small hand and patted its transparent head, “Unfortunately… it’s not me…”
“How annoying… I was almost remembering…” The infant poked its thin skin open, directly poking a bloody hole in the back of its head.
“But you… you woke me up…” The infant looked at the three sons of demons in front of him with a vicious expression that did not match his face, seemingly not having figured out how to act.
And Li Yue was increasingly shocked by what he said—such a terrible thing had been lurking next to the soul altar, was it accumulating power?
No wonder the Fire Valley Prophet Fuxi said that opening the cloak within these three days would be the most beneficial… meaning that once this infant had accumulated enough power, and then awakened, it would be his turn to be unlucky?
“Did I wake you up? Are you sure?” Li Yue certainly would not admit it so easily, deciding to delay as much time as possible before the analysis was completed.
“Well… not really…” The infant hiccuped and laughed, “I just avoided a death, and it just happened to be time to wake up.”
“Death?” Li Yue didn’t understand how the cloak, which was staying well, had died.
“Someone… gave up watching me, and I also survived the most vulnerable period, so I can wake up…” The longer the infant regained his sanity, the more things he seemed to remember.

Obviously, Li Yue's analysis speed was no match for his speed of recovering memories.
“Are you hiding from danger?” Li Yue heard some information from the infant’s words, and the tentacles on his head flipped, taking out a card called “Attention.”
If the infant was a threat, Li Yue would not hesitate to hit him with an “Attention” to make him visible in the eyes of the enemy.
“Well… danger… enemy… oh… I know who I am.” The infant giggled evilly, his mouth stretched past his chin, and Li Yue subconsciously wanted to hit the infant’s forehead with the card.
“I am the Demon King…” The infant clapped his hands on his face, clapping back his cracked mouth, and put on an innocent and harmless appearance, with big eyes fluttering.
Demon… Demon King?!
Li Yue’s mind short-circuited for a moment, looking at Yingying, then at Dandan, both not knowing how to react.
“I was killed by an enemy, but fortunately, my soul remained here, so I was resurrected here…” The infant pointed to the soul altar next to him, which was now empty.
But no one had thought that the soul of a Demon King had once remained here.
“Are you really a Demon King?” Li Yue walked around the infant, asking, “Brain Spirit? Can a Brain Spirit become a Demon King?”
Li Yue was not sure whether the soul altar of the library… would allow the souls of other types of demons to reside.
“Of course not… Brain Spirits are such low-level demons…” The infant smirked again, “I stole the location of the soul altar, hee hee… I was very curious about this kind of magic at the time…”
Smiling, the infant tore open his scalp, revealing a Brain Spirit-like brain; and the blue-purple cloak seemed to have become his skin, able to close back at any time.
Stolen?
Li Yue remembered that the former Demon King had also participated in the closed combat training, and even left a life-stealing seal, so it seemed reasonable to steal the resurrection location of a Brain Spirit?
And if he was really that former Demon King who was good at “stealing,” then his enemy… would be the current Demon King?
When the current Demon King usurped the throne, he killed the former one in front of him, but couldn’t find his remnants in the soul altar, and then he found a chance to resurrect?
Li Yue roughly sorted out a trace of logic.
“Do you know the Beast Fighting Arena?” Li Yue suddenly remembered a question—why did Brain Spirits participate in the Beast Fighting Arena in the first place?
Was it requested by the current Demon King, or was it Oogie Boogie’s initiative?
Did any demons know… that the former Demon King was currently in the library?
What good things did the former Demon King have that were worth him being so concerned about?
“Are you the current master of the library? Are you?” The infant separated the blue-purple cloak from his skin and covered his entire body, “Let’s start from the beginning, starting from when I died at the hands of that guy.”
Li Yue had no reaction.
[Analyzing… 17%… ]
“I died, and my enemy couldn’t find me, but he should have some kind of intuition telling him that I hadn’t completely died, so he had to look for me everywhere…” The infant seemed to be stalling for time, dragging out his tone, and the body under the cloak was constantly changing, healing.
“Intuition told him… that I might be in the library… or somewhere else…” The infant smiled, and Li Yue, listening, suddenly suspected that this guy’s soul was not just in one place; he also suspected that the infant was deliberately causing him to think this way, so that he wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
If there were other places, would the memories between the former Demon King’s souls… be shared?
“Following his intuition, he chose to summon certain demons to the Beast Fighting Arena, betting on the arrangement of fate… perhaps he even used that dice…” The infant continued, rolling his eyes upward, looking towards the upper direction of the Demon King City, “But I didn’t die, he lost, and I stole vitality from his hands.”
“Steal?” Li Yue had always been concerned about the former Demon King’s life-stealing technique and various techniques related to stealing.
“Steal, yes, do you know that every time you are distracted, stunned, or do something completely repetitive and meaningless… that stolen life belongs to me.” The infant smiled evilly again, “I stole vitality from the unconscious waste of life of my enemy…”
“But now, he has obviously found a better way, which is to launch the Demon Expeditionary Force, which can directly summon certain races of demons to die directly… dying in the war with humans…” The infant seemed to foresee the current city lord’s thoughts, gritting his teeth and saying, “That guy… doesn’t like stealing life to survive like me, that guy… only has destruction in his eyes.”
However, just as the infant continued to speak, preparing to talk about the follow-up, Li Yue suddenly controlled Dandan and its particles, smashing the former Demon King’s head.
Even though the Demon Illustrated Handbook had not yet completed the analysis, Li Yue did not intend to delay any longer.
Because Li Yue sensed through the authority of the library that this guy was subtly stealing the library’s magic power while he was talking!
Thinking about it this way, would he have been stealing the life force of all the souls in the library all along?
After all, he was that Demon King, the guy who killed the Demon Commander in the closed combat training, the guy who could cause people to lose their lives by casually engraving a seal…
“Now you have two choices, either serve me, or die at my hands.” Li Yue said to the former Demon King whose head had been half-blown open.
In a place where the former Demon King couldn’t see, the Scepter of Deceit hummed.
