Finally caught up with this amazing series
It's cool that they can fit a time travel plot here without violating anything with the current timeline since it's mental time travel, and PastFrieren would not have recollection about it happening since CurrentFrieren basically took over, and her party members did promise her to take it to their graves as a promise, and to not violate any time travel "laws".

I wonder what's the Goddess' purpose for it though, unless it was to kill that demon guarding the Goddess stone.

hmmm, a few people seem to have forgotten w/ Himmel and Frieren, that the Frieren of the past, who was the one who journeyed with the Hero Party, was emotionally stunted. The great scenes we just recently got in the last arc, was with Himmel of the past and Frieren of the future.

Himmel was able to compare the two during the last arc. I'm guessing he noticed a fairly big difference in her emotional matureness, not just her magical power. He noticed outright that she was a much better team player in how she fought.

If himmel is the one who wrote the spell on the monument. This means that in the past, the future frieren must have appeared. Then, the demons must have had frieren's future memories.
Does this means that the demon's plan failed?🤔
Or does the plan is ongoing?

If you are small-minded enough to love a character that you're only told about and never shown, that's on you.
It's refreshing reading a Quintessential Hero for once, it's a trope lost in time. Today the norm is trying to do a deconstruction, which isn't a decontruction at all because most stories follow the same 'it's actually not the HERO hero' trope.

Basically, 4d author theme chess.

Aren't you the small minded one to think that? It's the same thing as apreciating the tales of your deceased grandparents from your parents. Even if you've never met them, you can feel the love and passion from their reminiscence and it resonates with you. (Though by your comments, I don't think you've had that experience).

Besides, it's not like we were completely told about him, Flashbacks and the time travel arc shows us what he was like, even if it's just snippets. But we do get scenes with him, whether it be as grandiose as the ring scene or even something as small as the times that Himmel pose for statues.

Ah... the thing about an overdone trope is, when someone inevitably deconstruct it because it has become stale,the deconstruction usually take that original trope's place and becomes the new overdone trope. At the same time, the old trope becomes fresh again.
Remember when everybody wanted "Villains who are complex, layered, and whatnot"? now everybody got tired of that and wanted villains who are just straight up bad again, and when they show up it's refreshing. Neither are bad, but most people can't consume the same thing over and over again without getting bored of it.

Some peoples spines compress when they get older.

Then you have to hope the author prepares another time travel arc(hope not...) because Solitär was killed earlier when they fought Macht(see chapter 102). And Grausam was supposedly done in even earlier by a Hero party(hero of the south, NOT Himmel's party).
grausam was killed by frieren's party. Not hero of the south

I'm convinced that Grausam is still alive. In the earlier chapters Solitar was talking about how even other demons can't even tell if they're under the affects of Grausam's illusions. It seems like his powers are a combination of Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu and Itachi's Tsukuyomi. He could easily fake his death and go into hiding.
