I Have Become A Demon God. Did You Just Ask Me To Be A Minor Villain?

Chapter 58-2

"By the way, I heard from the Holy Maiden that you captured some demons. Have you learned anything from them? This recent attack by the demons seems quite suspicious." Su Mo inquired again.

Cardinal Ferren nodded, "Yes, it is indeed suspicious. Two Demon Gods emerged from the capital, indicating that someone initiated a large-scale blood sacrifice. However, all traces at the scene were shattered, and we have not made any significant discoveries so far."

After a pause, he continued, "As for the demons, we couldn't extract any useful information from them. They don't speak."

"Lord Cardinal, there's a situation." Just as Cardinal Ferren finished speaking, a clergy member hurriedly approached to report.

"What's the situation?" Cardinal Ferren asked. The clergy member glanced at Su Mo, about to speak in a low voice, but Cardinal Ferren said, "No need to be discreet, address Count in the open."

The clergy member then said, "In the Tribunal, a prison guard used a special method to make a demon confused, and under its bewilderment, the demon revealed the reason for the recent attack by the demons!"

Upon hearing this news, Cardinal Ferren repeatedly praised it. They had not given up investigating the cause of this recent demon attack. After all, Demon Gods appearing directly in the capital was no small matter. If they didn't investigate thoroughly, what if another wave occurred in the future?

However, when the Demon Gods appeared, their demonic aura was completely untraceable due to the collision with the laws of the World of the Gods. Despite deploying numerous experienced mages, priests, and rune masters, and even some ace detectives, they had not made any progress. The only speculation was that the person or organization orchestrating this event had considerable power and was no ordinary individual.

The logic was quite simple. For an ordinary person, where would they find so many dedicated soldiers? Summoning a Demon God through blood sacrifice required 999 dedicated follower. Everything around had shattered. One less follower was still a follower.

To summon two Demon Gods, which meant two thousand followers, finding these willing sacrifices wasn't an easy task. Furthermore, it had to be seamless – there needed to be a summoning magic circle for the Demon God, and everything had to be concealed perfectly to avoid detection.

Finding someone capable of doing all this in the capital was not an easy task. Some aristocrats of Count rank and above were under suspicion. Even some wealthy merchants were considered. However, without evidence, they couldn't arrest people arbitrarily.

These aristocrats had considerable power, and when faced with a common threat, they tended to unite. For example, when confronting the oppression of royal authority, the nobles often joined forces. So, even the Holy See, without any evidence, couldn't do anything against these suspected individuals.

Finding evidence was challenging. So, they turned to interrogating the captured demons, but demons didn't speak. Regular demons might not know anything, and even if they did, they could lie. Demons were cunning creatures; they would rather die than betray a Demon God. The cost of betraying a Demon God was too high, even in death.

However, this time, a breakthrough occurred. Soon, Cardinal Ferren arrived at a special place within the Holy See. Su Mo followed along.

In the Holy See's Tribunal, a prison guard was being surrounded by a crowd. The guard felt a sense of achievement under such attention. He was the hidden Protagonist in the Tribunal, planning to silently sign in to become stronger. However, recent system changes made him uneasy.

Especially after Su Mo intervened, Lance suspected that Su Mo would gain some privileges within the Holy See. So, he decided to make a move, seizing the opportunity to climb the ranks. Coincidentally, a few demons captured by the Holy See were held there. He noticed one demon acting strangely and used the skills acquired through his sign-ins to successfully make the demon reveal the truth behind the recent demon attack.

This truth was quite shocking. He had already revealed this information in the Protagonist group, causing a commotion.

"Wow, I didn't expect this demon attack to be orchestrated by Myles and others, specifically to deal with you guys. That's quite ruthless!"

"These Villains are truly ruthless!"

"Long Hua, seize this opportunity to eliminate them!"

In the Protagonist group, there was a lot of discussion.

"This achievement should secure my position as a pillar within the Tribunal. With this accomplishment, I should be able to climb the ranks," the sign-in Protagonist said with a smile. Then, he saw Cardinal Ferren entering.

Seeing Cardinal Ferren, the sign-in Protagonist thought his chance for promotion had come. Once he became a significant force within the Tribunal, even if Su Mo had privileges within the Holy See, he wouldn't be able to deal with him.

He was about to speak when he noticed Su Mo accompanying Cardinal Ferren. His expression immediately darkened.

"Why is he here?" The sign-in Protagonist wasn't overly worried, thinking this was probably Su Mo's reward for his achievements. But he also believed that Su Mo wouldn't be able to deal with him.

"Lord Cardinal, this demon fell victim to my skill and confessed everything. Lord Mibar used divine magic to verify, and everything it said is true." The Protagonist of the sign-in flow did not provoke or pay attention to Su Mo but quickly went to Cardinal Ferren to claim credit.

Behind Cardinal Ferren, Su Mo glanced lightly at the demon that the sign-in flow Protagonist was interrogating. This demon was a servant demon of the Succubus Dynasty, deliberately left there when the succubi retreated.

Although the battle for the capital has ended, there are still unresolved matters. This time, he tricked quite a few people. The Long Nail Demon God was tricked, more than a dozen Protagonists were tricked, and Myles lost his life without a chance.

The Crescent Moon Goddess wasn't really tricked, despite absorbing a large amount of her sacred energy. However, without Su Mo, her losses would have been too severe. In short, this time, both the Villains and Protagonists, including the foolish Long Nail, were all tricked by Su Mo. Now it's time for the remaining Silver Level Villains who haven't died yet.

These Villains are also unstable factors, showing clear hostility towards him. Why would Su Mo keep them around?

The Protagonist of the sign-in flow took the initiative to step forward, which suited Su Mo perfectly. The sign-in flow Protagonist was quite proud. Under his control, the demon quickly revealed everything. Nearby, a powerful divine magician, through his divine magic, could ensure that the demon's words were accurate.

"These nobles are truly lawless!" After hearing the confession, Cardinal Ferren was furious!

Cardinal Ferren instinctively looked at Su Mo and said, "Holy… Count, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

Seeing Cardinal Ferren's attitude, the sign-in flow Protagonist's face changed, sensing something wrong. A Cardinal Bishop, the highest-ranking person in the Holy See after the Holy Son and Holy Maiden… Why ask for the opinion of an outsider like Su Mo in handling such a significant matter?

If this is the "privilege" Lance mentioned, then this privilege is too great!

Su Mo glanced at the demon and said, "Let's just execute the main culprit. No need to implicate their families. Since this jailer has achieved such a great merit, mobilize the Templar Knights, capture the culprits, and let him be responsible for the execution. What do you think?"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Cardinal Ferren felt a bit strange. He wondered why Su Mo would suggest that a mere jailer execute those noble offenders. Nevertheless, Cardinal Ferren said, "Count Count's words make sense. Let's handle it this way."

"He wants me to kill those Villains?" Beside them, the sign-in flow Protagonist couldn't believe Su Mo's proposal. And to his surprise, Cardinal Ferren agreed!

This time, the Villains who plotted the invasion of the Demon God, including Myles and several Silver Level Villains and Marquis-level Villains, all heirs, once he kills them, the Protagonist Points will undoubtedly skyrocket, and he can become a Silver Level Protagonist in one go!

It's like a pie falling from the sky!

However, the sign-in flow Protagonist couldn't feel happy at all. Not only couldn't he feel happy, but his mood also sank to the bottom! Because he felt like an unweaned pig! At present, he's too thin, but after killing a few Villains… he'll become fat! Then he can be slaughtered!
