Inside my body, I harbor at least five pieces of the Demon Lord's fragments.

One from the Shadow Demon, another from Amy.

I absorbed two during the demon attack incident, and since this body was intended to be a seed of the Demon Lord from the beginning, it seems there’s at least one more.

"..."

Every time I swallow a fragment of the Demon Lord, I experience a peculiar feeling.

It feels as if a foreign consciousness is merging with my own, as if each fragment possesses a sentience of its own.

At first, I thought it was just my imagination—a faint whisper, nothing more.
