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

Chapter 72

Soon, more and more Protagonists were captured. Upon receiving the news, some Protagonists attempted to escape, but it was already too late. However, there were still some Protagonists who managed to hide well and were not on the list, so they remained uncaught.

After the capture of these Protagonists, discussions ensued in the group chat, and each of them became anxious.

Initially, without checking the group chat, some Protagonists thought they were mistakenly captured. However, upon seeing so many Protagonists being apprehended, even those less astute among them realized that this roundup operation was undoubtedly orchestrated by Su Mo.

On their way, the arrested Protagonists tried various methods, such as pleading innocence, but it was all in vain. The Templar Knights paid no attention to their pleas. As for those who were truly innocent, many refrained from protesting because the Templar Knights had informed them that upon reaching the temple, they would undergo an examination by sorcerers.

If they were found innocent, they would be released and compensated with a silver coin. For many, earning a silver coin in a month was a luxury, so the prospect of compensation left them quite satisfied. Some even requested the Templar Knights to arrest their siblings, spouses, and children, arguing that they had no involvement in demon collusion and the compensation would be worth it.

Therefore, those who continuously claimed innocence and accused Su Mo of framing them became even more suspicious in the eyes of the authorities. Some Templar Knights found them annoying and simply silenced them.

As for Protagonists who had no fixed abode, like the Ring Flow Protagonists, they were the most challenging to capture. The growth rate of Ring Flow Protagonists was generally slower compared to System Flow or Talent Flow Protagonists, unless the ring's level was exceptionally high. However, they had a significant advantage in early survival capabilities.

In this round of arrests, it was likely that only a few Ring Flow Protagonists would be captured.

The news of the mass arrest of Protagonists in the Crescent Moon Kingdom quickly spread to the Protagonist forums, attracting a large audience. The Protagonist forums had been active with various events recently.

For example, there was a Ring Flow Protagonist who, in half a month, managed to kill 10 Villains, completing an impressive achievement. The Protagonist posted a guide on the forum, drawing considerable attention.

Another hot topic was a post from a Protagonist in the Crescent Moon Kingdom from the previous month. Although the number of people discussing it had decreased, there was still some interest. Now, with Su Mo suddenly closing in, the forum's attention surged again.

"I told you the Protagonists in the Crescent Moon Kingdom were in trouble. I advised them to leave, but they didn't listen. Whose fault is that?"

"Yeah, they're in big trouble now."

"Count Mo must be making a fortune with this move."

"Definitely. According to the Protagonists who weren't arrested, more than thirty Protagonists have been captured by now."

"Wow! Thirty-plus arrested so quickly? Unbelievable!"

"Letting the Villain control the power of a kingdom is not to be underestimated. Not just Villains, Protagonists with kingdom-level power are equally terrifying!"

"This is like a dimensional reduction attack!"

The discussion on the Protagonist forum escalated rapidly, and the widespread attention of Protagonists facing a crushing blow from Su Mo dominated the conversation. While admiring Su Mo's prowess, many Protagonists began to contemplate some strategies.

"Looking at this, we can't just focus on enhancing our strength. We also need to pay attention to cultivating influence."

"We also need to consider the usefulness of our golden fingers. Some golden fingers might boost strength rapidly, but they're not helpful for building influence."

"Exactly. I know someone whose golden finger is a 'Living Off a Woman' system. He managed to woo the king's daughter and used the identity of the king's son-in-law to deal with a Villain. Isn't that incredible?"

"Is that even possible? Why am I just a Bronze Level small fry?"

Protagonists engaged in enthusiastic discussions.

Currently, the struggle between Protagonists and Villains had intensified. Every day, numerous Protagonists were killed, and news of Villain deaths was comparatively rare. The Protagonists were at a disadvantage in the early stages, but they also had significant advantages.

For example, when Protagonists killed Villains, they gained more luck than the Villains did. Additionally, the Protagonists' golden fingers were almost tailored for them. As long as they utilized them well, everyone's growth was exceptionally rapid.

However, in a kingdom like the Crescent Moon, Su Mo, using the entire kingdom's power, swiftly crushed more than thirty Protagonists in a short period—an unprecedented event.

Once the news reached the forums, it sparked the interest of some solo Protagonists who wanted to learn from Su Mo and leverage the power of a kingdom. Some Protagonists naturally had advantages in this regard due to their golden fingers.

For instance, individuals like Lance, who might not surpass sweeping monks in personal strength, could effortlessly infiltrate the core positions of the Holy See using his system. If such a person became the Cardinal Bishop, the situation in the Crescent Moon Kingdom would become even more one-sided. Those suffering in the Crescent Moon Kingdom would then be the Villains.

It was foreseeable that Su Mo's bold move would bring some new changes to the game.

"Ah, why can they find me so accurately? Even the Magic Academy doesn't dare to protect me!"

"Count Mo's timing is just perfect. Just after the invasion of the Demon God, there are rumors of demons causing trouble everywhere. He used collaborating with demons as an excuse and even promised compensation to those mistakenly apprehended. The Magic Academy definitely won't protect us."

"Darn it, my Legendary Level teacher also went to the royal capital. I hope he can save me."

"Let's count, how many people have been caught?"
