I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

“We have it?!” Li Yue couldn't help but rush through the pages of the Void Book, directly in front of Tom.

“We have it.” Tom hugged the book pages and nodded fiercely.

“I knew you could figure it out…” Li Yue generously offered words of praise.

“Huh? Who said I figured it out?” A question mark appeared on Tom’s Void Book page.

“Ah? You didn't figure it out? Then what about the Rica of the Yuta Magic Cocoon?” Li Yue was dumbfounded.

“Old Goat has been arranging the ritual for decades, even centuries, how could I figure it out?”

“Unless you give me tens of thousands more brain spirits, and a dozen more years, maybe I could completely understand…”

???

The shadow wrote a question mark on the ground.

“Then what do you have?”

At the corners of Ice Eye’s right and left eyes, not at the very top, there are hidden circles of ice seam lines—these are the locations where the ritual's sacrifices are placed.

The cold wind continued to blow.

“All that's missing is your breath.” Tom passed through one shadow gate after another, notifying the heretics stationed inside.

So there was some noise inside the Ice Eye Curse.

“Tell me.” Li Yue’s mood went up and down—knowing which positions in the magic circle to place sacrifices meant Tom knew which places Norrell Moore and Spader absolutely could not reach.

You could even replace the sacrifices.

“Gah, gah, gah…” The cracks in the Ice Eye Curse suddenly widened.

For more than a month, besides weaving heretics, Tom had been lying in wait in the vault, finally parsing the number demons of 1602 from a certain ledger.

While calculating Damon Benben's birthday, Li Yue discovered this kind of demon and specifically instructed Tom to capture some.

In that instant, in the blowing cold wind, they became countless ice sculptures, becoming the first batch of sacrifices for the Ice Eye.

Of course, tonight is the Slaughter Cup, whether it's the Cyans Sect, the Gospel Warriors, or the Cat and Mouse Team, the Avengers, or whatever, they are all fighting to the death outside the Colosseum.

People all over the Chaos Continent inexplicably felt a chill.

Tom exchanged a large number of Lava Left Hands, activating them one by one, throwing them inside like chicken feet, helping Shadow warm up…

Shadow knew Tom’s plan—now that Li Yue’s eight projects are not yet completed, it is time to help the Bonecart Church pry open the Ice Eye and make the ship of fate move forward.

As long as it's not a Shadow Demon or a Snail, replacing it with something stupid, the gods will be satisfied, right?

“I deciphered an element of the ritual, we can modify it according to this element…” Tom heavily patted the Void Book page in his arms.

“Put it away, this is very important…” Tom properly stuffed the minus sign into Akka’s ear, ensuring he could get it at any time.

“Let’s do it!” Along with a burst of mobilization, the number of heretic believers in the 8 groups who were not yet famous in the Colosseum suddenly increased, each resisting the inner wall of the Ice Eye Curse in their own way.

The giant Bonecart scattered hot air, starting up and accelerating.

Not to mention those heretics made of bones, binding threads, and octopus tentacles.

Only the south side where the Bonecart Church was located still had thunder rumbling and moonlight swirling, also the source of the cracks.

They would penetrate through the cracks, freezing the souls approaching the Ice Eye, shattering in the wind.

In the Ice Eye, grass began to grow.

If there were no specific number demons, Tom would save a lot of magic power when using the Staff of Deception to tamper with Damon Benben’s birthday, and would not directly drain Akka.

It might even delay the perception of the last anchor point…

“1, 2, 3!” For the first time, the sound from the southwest side exceeded the south side.

As long as some strange things can be stuffed into these two points, the new god will eat shit.

【It’s finally about to begin…】

Tom knew this was what Li Yue was most concerned about.

Otherwise, it would be equivalent to tampering out of thin air, and the difficulty coefficient would increase dramatically.

“Crack!” The ice wall cracked, the cold wind was biting, and a burst of adiabatic aura from the Ice Eye diffused in all directions, even Shadow was almost frozen.

But not much time had passed, the Ice Eye Curse still existed, always lacking a breath to break.

Tom finally filled in the last piece of the puzzle after the start of the war.

“Did he eat all the numbers I told him to eat?” Tom suddenly turned his head and asked Akka.

Even the Spring Rain of the Seven Seasons Church felt doubtful in the blowing cold wind, seeming a little unsure whether it should be spring.

Before, he had Akka devour specific numbers.

At this time, it could be seen that the Bonecart Church had predicted this, and the camp was set up far away, relying only on siege beasts to remotely break through the Ice Eye.

“Sacrifices.”

Its cracking sound converged into a north wind, sweeping across the land to the south, heralding the prelude to the arrival of the new god.

The Ice Eye was teetering, and the ice walls inside, covered with cracks, could no longer block the wind and frost outside.

“1, 2, 3!” The ice plain shook violently, the earth trembled and the mountains swayed.

However, that did not affect Zhu Hong’s efforts—the heretics were all methods produced under the Colosseum, and if he wanted to exchange them, Tom could even exchange a Kakarot that was almost the same.

“Ate them…” Akka spat out a few strings of numbers.

“1, 2, 3…”

【I have a certain understanding.】 Tom solemnly replied in his heart.

“Then… you guys wait for orders in the Mad Library…”

Leg hairs covered with Lava Left Hands were inserted into the cracks, the Cat and Mouse Team propped up their heads and bumped咚咚, the giant ape Kakarot held a giant bone crowbar…

After initially realizing this problem, Tom decisively gave up understanding the entire ritual, and only focused on finding an “element.”

This was a number demon that lived in the vault, a type of demon specifically used by demon scribes to tamper with various numbers and records.

The Ice Eye Curse was broken.

The Bonecart Church’s movements almost stopped because of this.

“1, 2, 3!” Zhu Hong shouted numbers for himself.

In the new god ritual, sacrifices are of course very important, and they will determine the flesh and blood of the new god.

When Old Goat’s ritual goes wrong, as long as it is ensured that Shadow and Egg are in those two locations, it can be guaranteed that they are sacrificed.

They just happened to span the Ice Eye, so as long as the Ice Eye is opened and they run through it once, marking with the Demon Route can quickly travel.

However, Tom, shrinking in the shadow space, didn’t care—anyway, it was just good intentions.

Also at that moment, the gods in the Colosseum’s sky turned around together, looking towards the Drizzle Corridor, towards the Ice Eye.

“I have deduced the positions where the sacrifices are placed in Old Goat’s ritual.”

“Here and here…” Li Yue unfolded the Void Book page in front of his chest, and a map of the Ice Eye appeared in front of Tom.

Tom remembered these two inconspicuous ice seams.

“Where’s the minus sign?” Tom carefully checked the numbers Akka spat out.

Two beams of holy light suddenly appeared above the Ice Eye, drawing an X diagonally, colliding with each other.

Li Yue understood that Old Goat’s ritual was too complicated, even though Tom was already an 8th-order scholar, and had the support of 40 brain spirits working day and night, he still couldn’t completely figure out every detail of the ritual.

“Ice Eye, Redcoat, Old Goat… I’m coming!” Tom opened the shadow gate and walked into the ice and snow.

So the Backbearers moved their station a little further away—after all, after a hundred years of Slaughter Cup, not much of Green Lake’s water was left.

“Oh, oh… it’s here…” Akka picked his teeth and pulled out a minus sign, placing it with the souls of the number demons.

It's equivalent to feeding garbage to the gods…
