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

Chapter 69-1

In the Crescent Moon Holy See, everything had returned to normal. Today's incident hadn't spread widely. Only a few people knew about it, and for the Holy See, having their carefully cultivated Cardinal heir turn out to be a Demon God servant would damage the Holy See's prestige if the news got out. So, this incident couldn't be leaked.

From Cardinal Ferren's response, it seemed that the Crescent Moon Goddess didn't react much. She only instructed him to continue cultivating a qualified successor. However, due to Cardinal Ferren's significant mistake this time, his prestige was significantly affected among the many bishops.

For Su Mo, at this point, all the potential threats within the Crescent Moon Holy See had been eliminated. He could now begin implementing another plan.

"The master's orders have arrived; it's time to take action."

"Good."

On the other side, Nancy, after receiving Su Mo's orders, quickly began her operations. In her hands, there was already a sizable list of names. These names were suspected Protagonists. However, relying solely on her intelligence organization wouldn't be realistic to deal with all these Protagonists.

Her intelligence organization had a more critical task of gathering information. While there were some experts within it, their numbers weren't abundant, and in the vast Crescent Moon Kingdom, they weren't enough.

Most importantly, at this stage, many Protagonists' strengths were gradually increasing. Some intelligent Protagonists had already found their own backers. For example, many Protagonists, after strengthening their abilities with golden fingers, joined the Magic Academy. Others joined the military and similar organizations. Some Protagonists were even hiding in secret.

Since Su Mo had already taken control of the Crescent Moon Holy See's power, he planned to use it to push through the entire Crescent Moon Kingdom, eliminating all Protagonists he could find at this stage.

First, he aimed to increase the wave of Villain Points by using the Protagonists within the Crescent Moon Kingdom. He would raise a few advanced golden fingers.

Then, Su Mo intended to figure out how to increase the divine power so that he could condense more Light and Dark Divine Powers. Thus, a new plan began.

The first step of this plan was to use the remaining influence of the Demon God invasion to cause more significant panic within the Crescent Moon Holy See. Nancy had been working on this for the past few days. As Su Mo returned to the Holy See, the progress of this matter further accelerated.

"The Demon God we drove away this time obviously hasn't given up. In the last three days, there have been more demon activities reported everywhere. In just three days, there have been over five hundred places with demonic auras illuminated by divine light.

"The demons are unusually active, and there's a possibility of a new large-scale operation. Moreover, they are very cunning. Despite deploying a large number of personnel and setting traps, we haven't captured a single demon in these past few days.

"We also can't understand what these demons are up to. Currently, there are no casualties, but they will inevitably make a big move sooner or later."

Two days later, in the headquarters of the Crescent Moon Holy See, a cardinal bishop was reporting the recent situation. Cardinal Ferren frowned. He hadn't expected that, despite driving away the Demon God invasion, demons were more active than ever these days.

In just three days, demons were active everywhere, and although detected by the divine light, by the time the Holy See's people arrived, the demons had already left. The demons' actions this time seemed to have no clear purpose, making them difficult to catch.

This lack of understanding increased the Holy See's worries. They couldn't figure out what the demons were planning. The less they understood, the more concerned they became, fearing that the demons were brewing a major action.

"Looking at it this way, after we exposed Lance, the Demon God behind him isn't willing to give up," commented one bishop. Su Mo gave him a thumbs up in his mind. This imaginative interpretation was excellent!

"Yeah, I feel the same. The Demon God probably wanted to infiltrate us through Lance. Since we exposed Lance, it might retaliate in anger," another bishop expressed concern.

"Don't worry too much. Under the divine light of the Goddess, even if demons have large-scale actions, we will detect them first," reassured another Cardinal Bishop.

Cardinal Ferren shook his head, saying, "This matter must be handled well. The Goddess has just completed the blessing ceremony, and if we allow demons to cause chaos, it will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the Goddess's blessing this time."

Speaking up to this point, Cardinal Ferren had a headache. First, there was the Demon God invasion, then the successor became a servant of the Demon God, and now, demons were causing trouble. If possible, he wanted to retire now and leave this mess behind.

"Holy Son, how do you see this matter?" Cardinal Ferren asked Su Mo. The other bishops also looked over.

In the gaze of everyone, Su Mo thought for a few seconds before saying, "Under the Goddess's divine light, demons are still able to cause trouble all over the kingdom. It is difficult to do it without anyone's help in the kingdom."

His words made the bishops nod. The cardinal bishop reporting the situation also brightened up, "Count's words are extremely accurate. Like this Demon God invasion, without the assistance of several Duke heirs, the two Demon Gods would not have been able to invade."

Another bishop, puzzled, asked, "We have already executed the main culprit. Is there someone else colluding with demons?"
