I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The soles of their feet and the sky seemed to be separated by a thin membrane. The three children of the Devil stood on a cloud of mist, sensing an endless world of illusory light flowing around them.

At the center of the three's bubble was the crack in the door left behind by Menthor.

Beside the crack in the door spun a forest river, a broken wall made of wings, and circles of spreading sound and footprints.

The contents were blurry, but from the occasional flashes of Demonic language and faces, Li Read suspected that the current bubble represented the Continent of Chaos.

Outward, the world stretched infinitely, composed of clusters of illusory light-like bubbles and mist, some large and some small.

But size was not absolute; each bubble was flowing and changing, interfering with and stretching each other, failing to achieve a stable equilibrium.

Or perhaps this fluidity was the equilibrium here.

If the current bubble represented the Continent of Chaos, then Li Read suspected that each bubble was a world, or a fragmented piece of a world.

What they saw before them clearly exceeded the understanding of Li Read and Shadow, but Egg somehow produced countless binding threads, forcibly tying the three children of the Devil together.

"@! * # $..."

It was difficult for sound to travel, so Li Read used Shadow to write a line of words, which quickly became distorted.

【What's wrong? Do you know something?】

Fortunately, the three children of the Devil didn't need to breathe, and could communicate through telepathy.

Li Read was asking about Egg's action of releasing binding threads, feeling like it seemed to know something.

【It's a bit like the place I came from, but also a bit different... I think we should stand together.】

Egg explained its behavior.

【Yeah, that's right.】

Li Read also used Shadow to tie the three devils together tightly, then looked back at the crack in the door, unsure of the next step.

At least they hadn't encountered any trouble when they came out of the door just now; everything before them seemed calm.

【Wanna go for a walk?】

The three children of the Devil took two steps on the light mist, and realizing that they couldn't get any support, they switched to using telepathy and Shadow's stretching to move.

As they moved, they were stunned to discover that while their actions seemed free, they were actually very limited—if they relied solely on telepathy to walk, they could only move back and forth along the bubble.

It was as if they had become three creatures existing on the outer wall of the bubble, their living space limited to this area.

At the same time, with their movement, after slightly changing their perspective, everything they perceived changed.

The forest river and wing wall flowing out from the crack in the door disappeared, transforming into a dark, elongated alien castle, like a piece of human skin torn off.

【Huh? Iron City?】

Li Read and Shadow were very familiar with this alien castle, and their memories were still fresh.

【Let's go take a look.】

Li Read suspected that Menthor's saying "Chaos possesses everything" was not just a figure of speech, but that this place really escaped time and space, and gathered "everything."

But the question was how to get it.

Now they could only move on the outer wall of the bubble. If they really encountered the "Ruler", encountered something they wanted to take... Setting aside everything else, they had to be able to get it, right?

Li Read tried to descend, to touch Iron City, to touch the crack in the door.

The light mist was very resilient, like an invisible trampoline, bouncing the three devils back every time they went down.

It was the same going up.

The three children of the Devil were trapped on the outer wall of the bubble.

【If soft doesn't work, let's try hard.】

As Li Read spoke, he took out the Bone Sword from Egg's body, and placed a Shadow Hand on Shadow, ready to draw the Holy Whip at any time, and give it a whack.

Among the equipment on his body, these were the only two pure holy objects, powerful to smash down, and not afraid of being damaged.

【Wait a moment.】

Shadow extended particles, squeezing them little by little under their feet, quickly propping up a small hole.

The opening wasn't very stable; the particles adhered to the surface and kept spinning, barely holding it together.

But the three devils understood—Egg's particles were the most effective excavators here.

【Let's go down and take a look...】

The three devils hadn't explored outward yet, so they first secured their retreat, wrapping themselves in Shadow and spinning downward; Li Read also felt that it might be a bit strenuous to keep using particles to penetrate like this, so he reminded Shadow to shape the particles into a drill.

The three devils became a group of groundhogs drilling holes in the bubble.

【Hey, this thing of yours is pretty good, very suitable for me...】

Egg evaluated Li Read's drill, deciding to set it as a new ultimate move.

Passing by the walls of Iron City, smelling the stench of the Sea of Death, and bumping into several passing living beings, the three devils were stunned to discover that their existence would collide with everything in the bubble.

Fortunately, the physical strength of the three children of the Devil was guaranteed, so they didn't die when a passing object swept across their faces.

The force of each collision was very strong, no less than a blow from the Holy Whip; the three devils successively smashed through the walls of Iron City, the sea of trees, and the trenches of the Sea of Death, finally reaching the crack in the door.

Li Read even suspected that if there was an infinite amount of time, then could they find Oogie Boogie's original existence in this bubble, and then crush it with a drill, and there wouldn't be these troubles later?

But thinking was one thing; everything in the bubble was constantly changing, so finding Oogie Boogie here was no longer like finding a needle in a haystack, but carving a mark on a boat to find a dropped sword...

Summary:

Everything in Chaos has substance, and one's own quality and hardness are the only guarantees for survival.

Li Read and Shadow firmly wrapped Egg's brain and body.

With the particle drill, the three children of the Devil could drill through the light mist and move freely.

Of course, this was currently limited to this bubble; as for what was outside, they would have to observe further.

Touching the crack in the door, Li Read probed a Shadow over, and discovered that behind the door was indeed the upper level of the Library, and from the display of the Bone Guidance Cannon and the Hourglass of Time on the wall, the time was also fixed at the moment they left.

Little Master, there are more chapters after this one, please click on the next page to continue reading, the following is even more exciting!

【This crack in the door has marked the points of time and space for us.】

Li Read shared the information, feeling that Menthor's magic had something to it.

【The retreat is guaranteed, next, shall we look outward?】

At this moment, Shadow and Egg were extremely curious about the bubbles outside.

Standing in a certain bubble, they couldn't observe the inside of other bubbles, they could only sense the light mist constantly flowing between the bubbles.

【Let's go.】

Li Read looked at the endless light mist, feeling a little apprehensive, always feeling that this place was beyond his understanding, and there would be unexpected troubles.

But well, they had already come.

Li Read removed a particle, embedded it in the crack in the door, and then sewed it onto the surface of the Library with Shadow, and then tied a Shadow and a strand of binding thread to Egg's body, as a last resort, to make a lifeline.

In case they ran too far outside and couldn't come back.

Immediately afterwards, Li Read modified Template 2.

Originally, Template 2 was used for Devil creations like "barbed wire", but after Copper Spoon turned everything in the Library into component parts, the existence of Template 2 became unnecessary.

The Library also bid farewell to that stage of killing people with barbed wire and bone spurs.

Exhausting all his strength to exchange for a highest-density Self-Healing Bone, he polished it into a spaceship-shaped bone lump, leaving a hollow in the front to accommodate the particle drill...

A spaceship quickly took shape.

Li Read named it "Utopia", inviting Egg to enter the cockpit holding the Egg Body, and then wrapping Shadow around it.

The three devils took their seats, and Shadow also consciously installed a huge particle drill on the bow of the ship. Utopia, under Egg's telepathic control, stirred the light mist and everything in the bubble, setting off towards Chaos.

Wails of misery echoed along the way.

This time, the things in the bubble could hardly affect the three children of the Devil, dying instantly as they passed.

And on the way to shuttle to the outer wall of the bubble, the three children of the Devil unanimously discovered a problem.

The bubble got bigger?
