I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Inside the side tent, a huge gambling table was set up. Oogie Boogie removed his sack, and tens of thousands of flies swarmed around the table, buzzing.

There were no cards on the table. A lone die sat in the center, spinning continuously.

This was a conversation intercepted after the three sons of demons manipulated Steel Baby's brain for a long time.

The two sides of the conversation were Oogie Boogie and a die.

This conversation took place when Memphis was commanding the First Army to move camp, preparing for a head-on confrontation with the holy city of Sindrami.

"Fate Die, how have your bets been placed?" Flies filled the gambling table, the buzzing sound vaguely rhythmic, as Oogie Boogie spoke to the die.

The die flipped its body, each face displaying the same text: "Of course, they're all placed. What, do you want me to bet more on you?"

"No way, you money-losing thing."

"Bite my demon butt, did you see that?" Oogie Boogie's swarm of flies became chaotic.

"How would I see? Dice don't have eyes." The Fate Die swayed left and right.

Shi Hangmeiji was almost going crazy, blurting out the correct answer.

"So, is the fight finally about to start?" Eggshell was unbearably itchy.

"It doesn't have many choices..." Li Yue replayed it in his mind, predicting Oogie Boogie's next move.

"Of course I saw it. Although fate is not immutable, your future is very bleak..." The Fate Die flashed a single pip, spun around, and surveyed all of Oogie Boogie. "The arena is gone, but anyone with eyes knows that the Feast is your last chance to turn things around."

"It doesn't have a piece of God's flesh..." Like a prophecy, the die's rotation speed increased, quickly revealing text.

Eggshell and Li Yue both loved listening to riddles, and only refrained from interrupting out of politeness. They didn't understand much of the communication between Shi Hangmeiji and the Fate Die.

"But no matter what it does, its current purpose is the same as ours, to absorb God's flesh." Yingying was still very confident about this, apparently feeling very uncomfortable from being choked by white paste.

"Let's go look at the remaining two royal tents. If we really can't find any clues, we might as well find some seers or something to divine where Shi Hangmeiji is hiding."

"Then let me see your chips!" The Fate Die jumped off the gambling table, hopping back and forth between the swarms of flies before landing back on the table.

Since Oogie Boogie's main body was a fly, this great plague became one of its future chips.

"You also have a great plague..." The Fate Die's text became formal again.

After great chaos comes great plague. Li Yue recalled the red mist and corpses he had seen along the way, knowing that this reality was not far off.

"If your womb were still intact, you could have taken advantage of this great plague to advance, but alas." The die's text began to twist again, full of mockery.

"Spreading plagues, seeking a womb, absorbing God's flesh..." Yingying continued, "If it's the former two, it should stay in the human world. If it's the latter, it might find a dangerous place to hide."

"Of course, after all, it's a feast, everyone gets a share." The Fate Die also trembled, its font skewed.

"Then how should I board the ship of fate?" Oogie Boogie had sacrificed so much to have this opportunity to communicate with the Fate Die, of course he had to ask clearly.

"Anything else?" Oogie Boogie pressed.

"Whose magic cocoon is it!" Oogie Boogie yelled at the time, "Budibooge? Sharphas? Skollrik? Liddrick? Memphis? Or the city lord? Humans?"

"Hey, hey, you have to be clear. I'm betting on you, but it's not all-in..." The Fate Die hinted many things to Shi Hangmeiji, "How to play specifically is still up to you."

"Hi, the table is just a toy. The real casino is here." The Fate Die jumped up from the table.

"Then let us see what you have..." The Fate Die sensed Oogie Boogie's emotions, and the font finally became more formal.

Steel Baby's head completely exploded, and the time slice stopped.

Oogie Boogie was silent, but the buzzing of the flies was incessant.

Li Yue's brain twitched, and he looked left and right, quite frightened—was this a glimpse into the future, seeing that he would see this conversation? Or was it a false indication of the intention gathering on Oogie Boogie?

"Anything else you want to chat about? Anyway, your bets have been placed, just waiting." The Fate Die rotated and jumped on the gambling table.

"You have it, or don't have it, isn't that it? I think I already know how much to bet on you." The Fate Die spun, splitting into two dice, exactly the eyes embedded in Oogie Boogie's eye sockets at the beginning of the Feast.

"I can't answer that either. The lines of fate under the mainland these years are too complicated, and there are even fates that don't belong to this world. This exceeds my limits." The Fate Die turned its gaze away.

"Bite my demon butt, I know what I don't have!" Oogie Boogie heard this and became angry, the swarm of flies beginning to become uncontrollable.

"Then bet! Bet now!" Oogie Boogie buzzed, "What do I have to do to board the ship of fate?"

"Find another womb and body? Reopen the arena and get back the money bag? Or bite hard, eating more of God's flesh? Expand the upcoming great plague to complete the advancement? Or find the demon staring at you as soon as possible and kill it?" Oogie Boogie's swarm of flies constantly and violently expanded and contracted.

"Then where?" Oogie Boogie hummed and buzzed.

"Don't have it? Then I'm leaving?" The Fate Die tilted, turning into a point and leaving, "You must take care, don't be a drowning dog of fate!"

Shi Hang and Yingying looked at each other, confirming that this Fate Die was the master of the "casino" authority, and the scope of the casino was not limited to Demon King City, but the entire continent.

Oogie Boogie stared at the empty gambling table and fell silent, without any movement for a long time.

"Is the entire continent a gambling table? When someone's chips are lost, someone else's increase." The Fate Die was full of anticipation.

"Or come to the library to make trouble for us." Li Yue added.

"Finally, you are being stared at..." The 1 pip of the die rotated, pointing to Li Yue, Yingying, and Eggshell.

"Ha, you're so leisurely, the casino is making a lot of money, huh?" Oogie Boogie teased, "If I had known, I should have occupied the arena instead of taking your table."

"Very likely, the Fate Die has even calculated his fate. Even if Oogie Boogie finds a more powerful seer, he can't be sure it's not you playing tricks."

"I have a share in the Feast? Ha! Great!" At this time, Oogie Boogie was of course most concerned about whether he could get a share of the upcoming Feast.

"Ha..." Shi Hangmeiji couldn't help but laugh.

Before the words were finished, a volley of magic cannons covered the royal tent, spreading like a carpet to the side tent, pressing towards the Eight Demons.

"So? What did you see? Where will Oogie Boogie be?"

"Stop pretending to be stupid with me. Did you see it? My fate?"

Yingying glanced at Li Yue, and Li Yue shrugged.

"Of course!" The die spun around, "I'll still put a few bets on you. The more likely it is, the lower the return, isn't it?"

Yingying touched the back of Li Yue's head, comforting him simply.

"You owe the Demon King a lot..." Suddenly, layers of red seeped out of the Fate Die, the same color as the red mist, and blood dripped from the bottom of the broken arena on the die face.

"I'm just the helmsman of fate, I don't have eyes."

Oogie Boogie's laughter stopped abruptly.

"His money bag is also very thin..." The carvings on the die face changed, becoming a dilapidated arena, with gladiators in the arena being annihilated one after another.

At the time this conversation took place, Hunteral had already broken through the underground of the arena, Beelzebub Weng was dead, and Oogie Boogie's authority was only left with a candlestick.

"But you don't have eyes, do you?" Of course, Shi Hangmeiji knew that he was unlucky enough, and what was even more annoying was that he had swept so many times but couldn't figure out who was attacking the arena.

"He has no womb..." A huge fly with a disproportionate body appeared on the die face. Shi Hang recognized at a glance that it was Beelzebub Weng.

"Hehe." Li Yue didn't expect that the identity of an alien had this kind of effect.

Although he didn't get Oogie Boogie's exact location this time, Li Yue was very satisfied that he had figured out the "chips" possessed by the Sack Demon and heard some mysterious words from the Fate Die.
