A Villain's Journey Begins in the Type-Moon World

"Hehe, no need for flattery. Since you have such insight, let me ask you, do you have a way to summon back the souls of the dead, or even to find them?" Wang Chong said calmly.

"The souls of the dead?" After hearing Wang Chong's question, Black Serpent pondered for a moment before speaking, "Perhaps you should ask the Sarkaz people about this. The Originium Arts that can summon souls are probably only possible through their ancient Sarkaz sorcery."

"While I do possess some means of 'self-resurrection,' it's different from what you imagine. My past self was truly and utterly dead; the current me is merely a new being inheriting that past memory and will. Even Talulah, in my original plan, was the same. She is me, and I am her," the black serpent slowly said. "The reason lies in the replacement and updating of these elements—soul and will, memory and information. No one can truly understand which is the crucial, irreplaceable link. It's like a ship that needs repair; once all its planks have been replaced, can it still be considered the same ship as before?"

“Yes, you’re right. Copying a soul, copying a will, copying memories, copying various information can all achieve a certain degree of ‘resurrection.’ As for whether this resurrection is real or not, let’s leave that aside for now. But one thing is certain: any form of resurrection cannot be separated from one item—that is, Originium.” Wang Chong waved his hand, and his black mist began to gather the Originium dust in the surrounding environment. Before long, a palm-sized Originium crystal appeared in Wang Chong’s hand.

"Yes..." Seeing Wang Chong's ability to gather source stones, Black Serpent was secretly shocked, while also wondering what Wang Chong meant by saying that.

"Black Snake, since souls exist in this world, where do you think they go after a person dies?" Wang Chong asked with a smile.

"..." The black snake didn't immediately answer Wang Chong's question. It knew that different civilizations and even different races had their own mythological stories about the destination of souls. But clearly, those so-called mythological stories were not the answer to Wang Chong's question. Combined with Wang Chong's earlier mention that "resurrection" was inseparable from Originium, the black snake seemed to have been electrocuted and couldn't help but answer, "Could it be... Originium?"

"You immortal black snake, you've been using Originium Arts to survive for so long, yet you only understand this now. It's clear that living a long time doesn't necessarily mean it's truly intelligent." After making a sarcastic remark about the black snake, Wang Chong ignored it and focused his attention on the Originium in his hand.

During his conversation with the black serpent, he had successfully established a connection with the girl's buried corpse in the snowdrift using the Originium information extraction technology (soul) granted to him by the system. He saw a vast flow of information within the Originium, containing numerous soul imprints and scenes from the past that had unfolded on this land. However, whether due to insufficient permissions or power, he was unable to examine the information in detail.

However, he eventually managed to trace back to the long-rested soul by using the Originium Arts remaining on the corpse.

This was, in fact, the first time Wang Chong had used Origin Stone techniques in this world. He uttered those unfamiliar and difficult-to-understand syllables from his memory, which even the Black Serpent couldn't quite make out. However, the Black Serpent's pupils continued to dilate because he saw some black stripes extending from the Origin Stone and converging above Wang Chong's head. A phantom image of a jet-black crown began to appear above Wang Chong's head.

"This is... the Demon King's crown!? But how is this possible?" the black snake said in disbelief.

At the same time, a diamond-shaped icon appeared in Wang Chong's originally calm black eyes. It was the appearance of this diamond-shaped icon that allowed Wang Chong to start calling up more Originium energy. The Originium dust floating in the air in the surrounding environment within a radius of 10 miles or even further began to gather towards Wang Chong in a grand manner, like a grand ceremony.

All of this was simply Wang Chong's attempt to extract a soul from the Originium. Completely absorbed in the information overload of the Originium, Wang Chong was unaware of the commotion he had created.

"The Demon King of Kazdel is dead... but now, I never imagined I would witness the birth of yet another Demon King," the black serpent uttered.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Little Rabbit, Amiya Donkey?

"what happened?"

At this moment, whether it was Ines on patrol, Frostnova strolling nearby, or Specter idly observing, everyone noticed the high-energy reaction. The Originium dust was converging in one direction, and billowing dark red clouds began to blot out the sky, resembling a small-scale Originium catastrophe. Frostnova naturally realized that the anomaly was coming from the location of the burial grounds, so she immediately ran back.

When she returned to the burial ground, Froststar finally saw the whole picture. She saw a crimson mist, obscuring the sky, gathering like a tornado. And at the very center of this gathering was Wang Chong, the man she had been so worried about.

"Such a powerful fluctuation of Originium magic... one person is a calamity..." Seeing that the anomaly was caused by Wang Chong, Froststar's worries did not lessen, but rather increased. Although she couldn't specifically sense how strong that immense energy was, she knew very well that the more powerful the Originium magic, the more likely it was to backfire and cause unimaginable casualties if one was not careful. After all, Originium Arts inherently involve dealing with Originium that could threaten human lives; isn't it like dancing on a knife's edge?

"The Demon King's tomb... a place of utter devastation, a place where countless beings lay hidden, their spirits broken and their bodies trembling. The tomb was a place of utter chaos, a place where countless beings lay hidden and their spirits trembling. The tomb was a place of utter devastation, a place where countless beings lay hidden and their spirits trembled ...

Upon hearing the other party's words, Frostnova finally noticed the black crown phantom appearing above Wang Chong's head, and her heart was once again stirred. She had naturally heard of the Demon King's crown from Patriot, but shouldn't that kind of power be possessed only by the Sarkaz? Why was it in Wang Chong's hands?

But even if she had many questions, she could only ask them after Wang Chong stopped. The more important thing now was to prevent anyone from disturbing Wang Chong from continuing to cast this spell.

Froststar glanced around and immediately spotted Specter, who seemed mentally unstable and had also been drawn by the commotion. A sense of unease crept into her heart. She feared Specter might act out of character and disrupt Wang Chong. Therefore, she secretly began to prepare herself, ready to unleash her Originium Arts—capable of freezing everything—to stop Specter should she show any sign of distress.

As for Ghost Shark? After being drawn to him, she stared at Wang Chong floating in the air. Her gaze wasn't on the mound above Wang Chong's head, but rather on the... well, let's just say it was...

"What a strange sound... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before." Ghost Shark murmured to herself. She sensed an echo from the depths of her soul from the Originium that Wang Chong was casting, which made her stop and listen carefully.

For a moment, the three of them stood around Wang Chong in unison, none of them making any move.

And what kind of scene does Wang Chong see from his perspective?

……

"Hmm?" Wang Chong's eyes flickered slightly. Just moments ago, he was pulling Alina's soul out of the source stone. But now, his surroundings darkened, and a cacophony of sounds began to rise. Words filled with pollution and resentment surged towards Wang Chong like a black tide, and a complex array of wills began to envelop him.

Wang Chong glanced at it and smiled slightly. He recognized it immediately; wasn't this just a monkey version of all the evil in the world?

"Black Alice, eat them," Wang Chong said calmly. Having already incorporated all the evil of this world into his own power, why would he fear this monkey-like version of the scene?

From within the thick black fog, a woman with white hair and a black dress emerged, a slightly sinister smile on her face, and said, "Yes, Master."

According to the system, Wang Chong originally wouldn't have been able to bring characters from the Type-Moon universe to this world; even if he wanted to, he would need to pay villain points. However, Black Alice is quite special; she has become a general in Wang Chong's power system, responsible for controlling the black mist, and naturally, she can come to this world along with Wang Chong's black mist power.

It is precisely for this reason that, in Wang Chong's grand plan to spread the black mist throughout the continent of Terra, Black Alice helped him filter out key information and began her old profession, silently corrupting and distorting those chosen to come into contact with the black mist, turning them into puppets in her hands, at her mercy.

This time, facing the sudden onslaught of mental warfare, Wang Chong directly assigned Black Alice, who was most skilled in this kind of battle, to deal with these resentments and wills of the soul. Black Alice once again transformed into the most terrifying evil of the world, unleashing a sharp and terrifying roar. In an instant, the surrounding resentments and wills of the soul scattered in panic, as if they were mere children before a powerful force.

But Black Alice wouldn't let these nutrients slip by. She transformed into a black tide, devouring everything and turning it into nourishment. Meanwhile, as Black Alice devoured them, Wang Chong's eyes first lit up, then he began to ponder. Each devoured resentment brought Wang Chong a wealth of memories and information. With his current mental strength, digesting them wasn't difficult. However, what troubled Wang Chong was that all this information pointed to a common thread: the Demon King of Kazdel.

Yes, each resentment represents the life story of a demon king. Their memories, their experiences, and their skills are all absorbed by Wang Chong. This is also subtly enhancing Wang Chong's control over the Originium. Previously, Wang Chong wielded those Originium by forcibly controlling them by eroding them with his powerful black mist, much like trying to pick up slippery peas with chopsticks—extremely inconvenient.

Now, however, Wang Chong wields Originium as easily as wielding his arm. Coupled with the accumulated knowledge of many generations of Demon Lords, Wang Chong no longer worries about how to train the Infected within the Reunion Movement in Originium Arts.

However, a question inexplicably arose in Wang Chong's mind: why was his consciousness brought to this dark place when he was using the Origin Stone information extraction technology related to souls, and why was he being besieged by the souls of those past demon kings?

"You...who are you! Don't come any closer!" Just then, a clear and familiar voice came from a certain direction, followed by a strong magical fluctuation that fiercely resisted Black Alice's black mud contamination.

"Hmm? What's that voice?" Wang Chong's will stirred, and the next second he was beside Hei Ai Li, asking, "What's going on?"

“There’s a little girl who looks quite interesting. She’s different from the other spirits; she seems to have the consciousness of a living person. So I just surrounded her. But this little girl is quite capable; I almost managed to push the black mud away when I wasn’t careful.” Black Alice raised her hand and pointed to the girl surrounded in the middle, saying.

Wang Chong's gaze followed the direction Black Alice pointed, a strange look appearing in his eyes. The girl surrounded by black mud was wearing a black uniform and ten rings on her hands. Her most distinctive feature was a pair of long, upright, brown ears on her head. While they should have been the rabbit ears of Carter, their color and shape inexplicably resembled donkey ears.

Even Wang Chong, upon seeing the other party for the first time, couldn't help but blurt out, "Isn't this Amiya? What's she doing here? Is she even a living being?"

"Amiya?" Black Alice repeated the name, already wondering which donkey had become a human being and transformed into this girl.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Deception and Conquest

Meanwhile, Wang Chong and Hei Ai Li were dragged into a mysterious black space. Here, after they devoured the wills of the demon kings that wanted to attack and invade, they unexpectedly discovered a donkey... a little rabbit, whose style was completely different from the demon king embers around them.

Looking at the familiar little rabbit, Wang Chong, a former Doctor player, felt a pang of nostalgia. At least among all the riddle solvers, the little rabbit was the only one who genuinely cared about Doctor players. However, now that his identity had changed and his stance was unclear, Wang Chong remained wary of the little rabbit, Amiya.

Because they were now inexplicably trapped in this dark space, Amiya, as the only living person besides themselves, was clearly the prime suspect. Even if Amiya wasn't the culprit, this dark space was likely connected to her.

Therefore, Wang Chong gestured to Hei Aili, signaling her not to act rashly. He then stepped forward himself, intending to approach her and see if she understood what was going on here.

"Qi Observation Technique." Wang Chong immediately used his method of observing fortune to examine Amiya's fortune. However, to Wang Chong's surprise, Amiya's fortune was a very ordinary white fortune, even with some black spots in it. It belonged to the unlucky type among ordinary people. This type of person is usually weak and sickly, and suffers many misfortunes, which is consistent with Amiya's ordinary experience before the age of 10.

But... Amiya now wears the Ten Rings, which clearly means she has inherited the power of the Demon King. How could she possibly have such a vibrant fortune?

"Who's there?" Suddenly, Amiya turned around, her gaze fixed on Wang Chong, who was hidden in the black mist. The moment their eyes met, Wang Chong immediately noticed that the aura that was originally white with black spots had instantly turned into the highest aura, which was incomparably crimson. This was a symbol of the value of Amiya's status as the female protagonist at the very center of this Terra world.

However, this incomparably crimson fortune instantly turned into an incomparably black fortune, and that fortune was mixed with pollution and distortion, as if it were burdened with countless sins and karmic debts. Even if it was not divine retribution, it would certainly be a person destined to destroy the world.

Such extreme auras, coupled with that ordinary white color, these three incredible auras actually appeared on Amiya at the same time, as if Amiya were a mixture of three different types of people.

"No, to be more precise, Amiya's original path to the future should have been that initial white, but was forcibly twisted by two unknown forces into two completely different paths, one red and one black?" Wang Chong pondered the story in Amiya's original plot, his thoughts beginning to expand.

However, just as Wang Chong was still pondering and not paying attention to Amiya looking in his direction, some black lines silently approached, intending to enter Wang Chong's consciousness. This was Amiya's Originium Arts, a means of absorbing other people's emotions and observing their memories.

Just as the black spell was about to touch Wang Chong, a layer of spectral dispersion concentric polygon shield appeared. The moment the spell made contact with the shield, it was as if it had encountered a natural enemy; not only was its invasion blocked, but the spell was also quickly rejected and returned.

"Ugh!!" For Amiya, the caster, all she felt was a strong sense of resistance and rejection. Just the approach of her own spell felt like a wound to her soul. Pure mental anguish and rejection filled Amiya's mind. The incomprehensible rejection, disapproval, and even aversion were the only emotions Amiya could absorb from that shield.

"Huh? An AT field?" Wang Chong noticed the familiar shield in front of him. It was the AT field that only Angels in EVA could release. Combined with Amiya's reaction, he immediately understood what had happened.

"This little rabbit is just like in the game, good in every way, except for her fondness for prying into people's privacy, which is really bad. I just didn't expect that she would use this AT field so soon after acquiring it. Is this probably to prepare for Amiya's ability to sense my emotions in the future? Heh, well, if that's the case, I'll teach this little rabbit a good lesson and let her understand what the consequences will be if she uses such magic casually."

Wang Chong made up his mind. Seeing that the other party had already made a move, Wang Chong decided to take this opportunity to teach this little rabbit a lesson and also to see who was behind this black space.

"Heh, you little brat, you're really quite rude. I haven't even made a move yet, and you're already behaving like this." In an instant, Wang Chong stepped out of the black mist and walked up to Amiya, who was still covering her head. Amiya calmed herself down and looked up, only to see a large, dark green sword with its tip pressed against her brow. With just a slight push forward, the blade could easily pierce Amiya's head.

"As the saying goes, a killer must be prepared to be killed. Since you've chosen to take action, are you prepared to bear the consequences?" Wang Chong said slowly.

"..." Seeing the sword tip pointed at her face, and especially the aura that Wang Chong unintentionally exuded, Amiya, who had not seen much of the world and was still naive, trembled slightly.

Of course, Amiya is afraid. She hasn't found the Doctor as a source of emotional support, nor has she experienced major events like the Reunion attacks on Chernobog and Lungmen to temper her character. Right now, she's just a young Demon Lord who has just received the Demon Lord's inheritance and relies heavily on Kal'tsit and several elite Rhodes Island operators.

However, perhaps some things are simply innate. Amiya's first reaction was fear, but she forced herself to calm down and said with utmost sincerity, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I was suddenly pulled into this situation, and I was so shocked!"

"谝馐犊占洌俊币凰布洌,醭逖劬ξ⒚辛似鹄础０⒚祖虑傅幕坝镂抟饧浔┞冻隼戳司薮蟮男畔⒘俊J紫韧醭後闶蝱宄芪д庖黄,谞崞角幕胖车降资窃趺匆换厥隆U饫锞尤皇呛谕豕诘囊馐犊占洌,且簿褪撬的醯拇幸约按罅坑肭拔拿饔泄氰男畔⑷悸癫卦诖舜Α?"

Secondly, both he and Amiya were suddenly pulled into this consciousness space. This means the real mastermind is likely the Black Crown itself. Wang Chong could understand Amiya being pulled into the Black Crown, but what about him being pulled in?

"System, what's the situation outside? What happened to me?" Wang Chong narrowed his eyes and asked the system in his mind.

"Host, your consciousness is temporarily outside your body, and the commotion you caused by bringing Alina's soul out of the Originium was too great, attracting the attention of the other three. However, they are all silently guarding you and haven't made any unnecessary moves. But host... you now have a black crown on your head," the system answered truthfully.

"A black crown has appeared on my head? How is that possible? Isn't there only one black crown? And that person can only be the Demon King, how could it appear on my head?" Wang Chong was clearly not expected by this turn of events, and things suddenly became somewhat complicated.

"It must be because of that technology. Although I synchronized with the world and acquired this technology, I didn't expect that the technology represented unimaginable privileges," the system couldn't help but say.

"You mean... this technology should only be used by those who have inherited the Black Crown, but I forcibly used it, which unexpectedly caused the Black Crown to be forcibly certified. However, since the Black Crown already has Amiya as its inheritor, it ultimately resulted in both Amiya and me being forcibly dragged into this situation due to a bug in the Black Crown?" Wang Chong asked.

"It's pretty much a done deal, host. If you want to get out now, you'll probably have to team up with Amiya. After all, the Black Crown brought both of you in, so you'll probably need both of your strength to get out," the system said.

“Um… sir. If you are still upset, could you tell me what I should do to calm your anger?” Amiya asked again, having not heard a response from Wang Chong for a long time.

Chapter Seventy: Demon King vs. Demon King

Seeing Amiya ask again, Wang Chong focused his attention on the little rabbit in front of him. Based on the current situation, he quickly made a decision and said, "Heh, you little rascal, you're quite obedient right now. But if apologies were enough, there wouldn't be so many disputes and conflicts in this world."

"I just woke up here. As for the strange changes around me, it was just something I did because I was disturbed by those noisy guys. They were all people who should have died long ago, but they were still making a racket. So I just shut them all up."

As Wang Chong spoke, he waved his hand, drawing back all the surrounding black mist and mud. Of course, he didn't take Black Alice back; he still needed her to help him thoroughly investigate the surroundings and see if he could find anything.

Seeing that the terrifying anomalies were actually caused by the man in front of her, Amiya was secretly shocked and began to observe who this man was. She could not see any Sarkaz characteristics on him, no... let alone Sarkaz, she could not find any characteristics of any race on him.

"Just like the Doctor..." Amiya couldn't help but mutter to herself. She remembered that the Doctor was also like that, without any racial characteristics.

“Since you’re a relatively well-behaved little rabbit, you don’t need to be swallowed by me like those noisy fellows. Tell me, what exactly is this Black Crown Consciousness Space? Why are you and I here? Is there a way out?” Wang Chong pretended not to know what the Black Crown looked like, and even added, “I advise you to think carefully about your answer and not hide anything. I never said I had forgiven you for your offense.”

Amiya breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw Wang Chong retract his sword. She could clearly sense that her strength was inferior to his; her emotional and memory absorption had been easily broken through, almost severely damaging her mind. Now, she wanted to understand why the Black Crown had suddenly pulled her consciousness in and why she had encountered such a strange and powerful figure.

Rather than believing that the Black Crown was drawing other people's consciousness into it, Amiya was more convinced that the person before her was a soul that had originally resided within the Black Crown. Amiya's deduction stemmed not only from the fact that the Black Crown had always been with her, and that she had never seen Wang Chong on Rhodes Island, but also from the fact that the Black Crown itself possessed the ability to house the power, memories, and experiences of each generation of Sarkaz Demon Lords, and to inscribe their souls—the legacies of those Sarkaz Demon Lords being the best proof.

Thinking of this, Amiya tentatively asked, "Sir, don't you know about the Black Crown?"

"I don't know." Wang Chong lied nonchalantly, since he had the AT field on him and wasn't afraid of the rabbit's mind-reading ability.

"Simply put, this is a space of consciousness, a place I come to face every day. It contains the consciousness of many Sarkaz Demon Lords throughout history, and I have inherited this power. Every day I must face these consciousnesses, listen to them, understand them, and feel them. Only in this way can I inherit those powers."

"It's just that my aptitude isn't very good, and my will is weak. I can never fully withstand the will of the Demon Kings of all generations. No matter how hard I try, each improvement and progress is very limited. Not to mention inheriting this power, even Rhodes Island's current situation is very difficult, and I am powerless to do anything about it. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if His Highness's choice of me was really... Ah, sorry, I seem to have gone a bit off-topic."

Amiya was introducing the space when she involuntarily recalled her difficult experiences over the past few days. For some reason, she blurted out some of her thoughts. Fortunately, Amiya reacted quickly, stopped herself, and apologized again.

"She's confiding in me. It seems that old lynx has put a lot of pressure on Amiya. Or perhaps no one in the entire base knows what kind of pressure Amiya is carrying." After thinking about this, Wang Chong didn't say much, but just nodded, signaling the other person to continue.

"Well, in a sense, this place is where the Demon King's legacy is passed down. It's just that I'm usually the only one who comes here, and I always come here on my own initiative. It's unusual that I was pulled here this time. Do you understand now?" After Amiya finished asking, she began to observe Wang Chong with her spiritual eyes again.

"I'll leave those demon kings aside for now. But I understand what you mean. In other words, this is a place you can come and go as you please, and this isn't the first time you've experienced something like this. So, the final question is, is there a way out?" Wang Chong asked calmly.

“Well, if I came in voluntarily, I can leave as soon as I silently think of leaving. But if I was dragged in, there’s no way around it. Sometimes how long I stay here depends entirely on whether the people outside can force me to wake up. As for you, sir… I have no idea.” Amiya seemed afraid that Wang Chong wouldn’t believe her, so she added, “Everything I’ve said is the truth. Even if you really want to take action, sir, I have nothing more to say.”

"You mean we're just supposed to sit here and wait?"

"Well... at least that's how it seems based on my experience..."

After the conversation, Wang Chong had a fairly good understanding of this consciousness space. Judging from Amiya's and the memories of the demon kings he had absorbed, everything Amiya said was true. But how could he just sit here and wait?

"Is there really no way to break out of here? If you were trapped here when you couldn't get out in the past, wouldn't you have been bullied to death by those noisy guys with your little skills?" Wang Chong said slowly.

"Hmm... that kind of pain is really unbearable, like being tied to a mountain of knives and rolling down it. No matter what, you can't get used to it. When the pain becomes unbearable, you lose all consciousness and can't feel anything anymore. When I wake up again and see the lights on the operating table, I know I'm back, and that's enough." Although Amiya said this, the expression on her face was one of feigned ease.

It is truly a sad and pitiful thing that such a young child has to bear a burden he should not have to carry.

However, Wang Chong's mind wasn't on that. He asked Hei Aili about her investigation of the surrounding area, whether she had found anything that could control the Black Crown and release them. Hei Aili ultimately told him she hadn't found anything. She even said that the entire area was completely unpredictable, and that the Black Crown was a dangerous place.

This made Wang Chong somewhat irritated. A chill ran through him as he gripped the Ruined King's Blade and stood up. He figured he could just shatter this space; he refused to believe that an object could trap him.

"Um, wait a minute." Suddenly, Amiya called out to Wang Chong. She could see that Wang Chong was eager to get out, but if he took out those terrifying black mists again and caused a ruckus, she herself might not be able to hold on before he got out.

“In the past, when I entered this place, I had to face the will of those past kings. But this time, I can stay here peacefully, and perhaps I can use the Demon King's power to unlock this place,” Amiya said.

“Alright, I’ll give you this chance. You try.” Seeing this, Wang Chong placed his sword beside him and quietly watched Amiya’s performance. As for Amiya, having convinced the other party, she didn’t linger and immediately began chanting a spell. Black lines began to gather around Amiya’s body, and those black lines began to resonate with the surrounding space, causing the entire space to tremble slightly.

Amiya knew very well that the biggest change in the Black Crown's current predicament was likely related to this nameless man before her. Whether she temporarily distanced herself from this enigmatic figure or informed Dr. Kal'tsit about the matter for help, she needed to return to reality immediately.

However, although the space trembled, it did not allow either Amiya or Wang Chong to leave the scene. Instead, Amiya's face turned pale, clearly finding it very difficult to use the Demon King's power in this space. Amiya was still too weak at the moment.

"The words Amiya just chanted... I knew it." However, Wang Chong did notice something from the strange syllables Amiya uttered. The words Amiya chanted were very similar to the Originium Information Extraction Technique he had used. In that case, the Originium Arts Wang Chong used were indeed the power of the Demon King that should belong to the Demon King.

No, to be precise, these powers were merely technologies from a previous civilization. Seeing that Amiya's power was insufficient, Wang Chong followed suit and began chanting the syllables that Amiya had just uttered.

At that moment, a soft sound emanated from the entire space, and countless black torrents began to converge around Wang Chong. Simultaneously, a massive phantom of Originium appeared behind him. At the same time, a conspicuous diamond-shaped icon emerged from Wang Chong's pupils and the Originium phantom.

"This is!!!" Amiya had obviously noticed the commotion on Wang Chong's side and stopped casting her spell. However, unlike Ines, Frostnova, and the others who had met her for the first time, she was not shocked. Instead, she showed an expression of "I knew it."

"He really wasn't an outsider who entered this place. I am the current successor to the Demon King, so the only person who can still wield the Demon King's power is the spirit of a past Demon King. However, judging from his appearance, he doesn't recognize the Demon King at all, nor does he seem to know the Demon King's true identity."

Amiya suddenly came to a very strange conclusion: "Could it be that this Demon King... has lost his memory because he is a remnant soul?"

Chapter 71 I've Become the Ring Grandpa?

Putting aside Amiya's wild thoughts, Wang Chong, seeing that he had successfully used his power, understood that he had gained some access to the Black Crown. Consequently, some information entered Wang Chong's mind, including how to escape from the Black Crown. Wang Chong could even sense the locations of the two exits.

Huh? Two exits? Wang Chong was taken aback, but then he realized what was going on. It seemed these two exits corresponded to his current location and Rhodes Island's location, respectively. Looks like he'd accidentally created two Black Crowns by exploiting a bug.

"The continuation of civilization... that's really what it's called. Oh well, never mind it, getting out of here is the best outcome." With that thought, Wang Chong stopped casting the spell. However, when he looked at Amiya, he found her staring at him with a strange expression, so he said, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

“Ah, I’m sorry. I was quite surprised to see that you could also use this power, so I unconsciously stared at it for a while… Um, if I may be so bold as to ask, sir… no, senior, do you still remember your memories before you woke up?” Amiya asked.

"Memories before awakening?" Wang Chong frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Amiya would ask this question. Was she trying to find out where he entered this black space from? And what was the meaning of suddenly changing her address from "sir" to "senior"?
