No, the statue is a dickhead. But he will get shadow army of the original monarch, which is kind of sad, his original shadow become just another shadow in the army and become less important.
@Nago no, in the previous chapter statue boi said that the body he is using "the statue" was a temporary body. Can't control something that was never alive to begin with.
I havent read the novel but i think this statue is last of its angel kind and he needs mc to defeat the other world shadow monarch....but i guess the angels lost the war and they needed the humans to be stronger
