1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King

103 Toppling Tower

William smiled bitterly as he reminisced.

Due to the incomplete ritual a thousand years ago, the Father of the Crows in the Moon Realm didn’t have the full stature of a Void Sovereign.

It didn’t have the support of ‘fuel,’ nor did it have a complete soul as a prototype for its personality, nor did it complete the final reversal. All these years, the Father of the Crows had only instinctively exercised its authority or done some specific actions through the remnants of Blake’s will—for example, swearing a silent oath or raising a storm in the Shattered Sea to protect Ava State.

Fortunately, the fuel for the ritual wasn’t ignited, and the Seed of Hope was preserved. William happened to snatch it from the three goddesses.

!!

Therefore, even though William only had a soul fragment left, he still held the initiative.

“However, the other party can still reach the Father of the Crows’ Moon Realm domain, Black Crow Gaze, before you do. He will absorb three-quarters of the incomplete sovereign’s strength in advance, and then he will wait for you there. If you don’t choose to face him, he might use his incomplete authority to constantly cause disasters on the Vic Continent,” Valk reminded.

“There’s no need for him to rush me. I’ll personally go to the Moon Realm to face him, no matter what he has become.”

William only gave such a reply.

…

“That Demon General named Mania has returned to the Moon Realm? Also, what does it mean that I went crazy?”

The voice of the tower guardian beside William pulled him back to the present.

The other party was staring warily at the soul fragment in his hand as if she was prepared to snatch it back at any moment.

William ignored the other party’s actions and used the Divine Realm Frost spell, Cocoon of Time, to seal the soul fragment before throwing it into his inventory.

After all of this was done, he looked at the tower guardian and said, “It’s what it means literally. Your mind was corrupted by the power He subconsciously carries with him because you had been by Valk’s side for too long. However, before He left, I got Him to restore you to normal. Of course, I can guarantee that He must have stuffed some sequelae into your soul. I suggest you find a psychological therapist to take a good look at it in the future.”

With that said, he continued without waiting for the other party’s reaction,

“Alright, let’s cut the crap. Tell me your name now. I have quests to assign to you.”

The fiery-red-haired tower guardian looked at the gray-haired, silver-eyed man in front of him as if he was crazy.

Be it what the other party had just said about getting the Void Sovereign to help her restore her rationality or having a tower guardian of the Astral Lighthouse listen to his orders, it sounded like the derangement of a lunatic.

“Don’t you know that tower guardians are not allowed to say their names during their tenure?”

However, she couldn’t read the other party’s strength after all, so she left some leeway.

“Tower guardian?”

The other party sneered unexpectedly. Then, he snapped his fingers, and intense lightning instantly flashed around him.

When she came back to her senses, the two of them had already appeared in the square outside the Astral Lighthouse.

She opened her mouth and was about to complain, but when she saw the scene in front of her, she was like a duck being lifted by the neck. Her mouth remained open, but she couldn’t make a sound.

“There’s no tower for you to guard.”

The person’s voice seemed to come from afar.

This Astral Lighthouse that was built on Nakuland’s Blacklight City for more than 800 years had collapsed.

Moreover, the way it collapsed was very funny. This spiral lighthouse seemed to have been treated as kneaded like plasticine into an arc that resembled a smile.

“How is this possible? How…”

The tower guardian looked dazedly at the Viper lighthouse that she was just a month short of completing her five-year guardianship tour. She felt her mind go blank. That arc looked like it was mocking her.

Behind that arc was a constantly changing distorted space. That space was filled with psychedelic colors, and just looking at it made one’s head spin as if one’s mind had received too much information.

Perhaps it was to let William enjoy the drama better, or perhaps it was to block the prying eyes of the other Void Sovereigns, but the power Valk projected through this Astral Lighthouse was extremely potent. He had temporarily moved a stage from the Fanatic Theater to Currere.

Fortunately, William had evacuated everyone in the fortress. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be anyone with the intelligence to do arithmetic under 100 left.

Not only that, but all the spatial seals and restrictions in the Astral Lighthouse were destroyed by the other party’s power. At this moment, this Astral Lighthouse had been stripped of its disguise as an Astral Circuit, revealing its essence as a Moon Realm rift.

A complete Moon Realm rift opened on Nakuland.

Looking at the damaged arc-shaped tower and the dynamical Moon Realm rift behind it, many fragmented memories that had scattered in the tower guardian’s mind connected. This made her clutch her head in pain and squat on the ground. At the same time, she subconsciously let out a crazy laugh.

“Absurdity Jester, hahahaha… It’s really Absurdity Jester. Hahahaha…”

William finally understood what method Valk had used to restore the poor child’s rationality.

He had only shattered the memories of that period and stuffed them deep into the back of her mind. As long as she came into contact with anything of relevance, she might subconsciously connect those fragments and fall into a temporary state of madness.

In the future, she might have serious PTSD towards theaters, laughter, or even arcs.

After William used the Tranquility spell, the other party gradually regained her rationality.

She stared at William and asked with a trembling voice,

“You’re the Calamity… that Absurd… the Void Sovereign mentioned?”

She recalled the conversation between this man and the Void Sovereign. Although Absurdity Jester Valk didn’t mention the other party’s name, He constantly addressed him as Calamity.

As a member of the Astral Council’s member family, other than being more advantaged than ordinary people for her advancement as a magic chanter, she also had the clearance to go to the Astral Council’s library and learn more secrets that ordinary people couldn’t.

Be it history of the past or dangerous knowledge about the Moon Realm, among them were records of the Moon Realm Calamity. There was only one person in history who had the title of Moon Realm Calamity.

“You’re William Kane?” she asked with a trembling voice.

Although it was a question, her tone carried awe.

She wouldn’t believe it if anyone told her that the man in front of her was William Kane.

However, a Void Sovereign had verified the other party’s identity. This was more real than any evidence.

William didn’t answer the other party’s question. He repeated his words, “Tell me your name now. I have quests to assign to you.”

The tower guardian replied almost subconsciously, “Julianne Cathy.”

“Then, Julianne, I want you to lead all of Blacklight City’s troops to guard this Moon Realm rift,” William said calmly.

…

The crow feather storm gradually gathered into a human form. The Crow Feather Prophet from before appeared on a reef in the Shattered Sea.

This reef was in an irregular triangle with an ancient throne covered in barnacles right in the middle.

On the throne, a person lay paralyzed. His entire body was covered in a powerful curse, and his body was shattered like porcelain.

The Crow Feather Prophet looked at the body without any change in his expression. He only walked over without a word and placed the soul fragment in his hand on the armrest of the throne. Then, he tilted his head and took out a pitch-black brooch from his clothes before placing it on the armrest.

After doing this, he took a few steps back. Then, the coldness in his eyes instantly dissipated and turned into a puzzled expression.

When he saw the shattered person on the throne, he immediately knelt on one knee and said,

“Boss…”

Calm down.

A familiar soul voice appeared in his mind.

When everyone arrives, I’ll tell you the reason.

In the distance, the Crows crossed the storm and flew towards the reef.
