I've Become a Demon God, and You Want Me to Be a Villain

That was a realm all gods wished to reach.

Yet at certain times, whether human or god, one's perception of time would change.

For example, on this night, time passed very slowly.

Until early the next morning, when it suddenly felt as though time had passed a little too quickly.

High up in the Castle.

The bedroom was warm as spring.

Meilena, who had not fallen asleep until nearly dawn, slept deeply.

A blissful smile still lingered on her lips.

Su Mo held her gently.

In truth, Su Mo had always regarded Meilena as a younger sister before.

Until one time when he returned from the Abyss and accidentally let out an aura belonging to a Succubus.

At the time, several Temple Knights happened to discover him.

Back then, Su Mo had not yet become a Demon God.

His strength was far from what it was now.

However, when Meilena saw the Temple Knights attacking Su Mo, she did not hesitate to use her power, helping Su Mo block the Divine Light from the sky.

Then, Meilena and Su Mo joined forces and killed those powerful Temple Knights.

Su Mo was injured in that battle as well.

Meilena took Su Mo into Holy Moon Magic Academy, where the Holy See searched for half a day without finding him.

How could they have imagined that Su Mo was right beneath their noses?

It was also at Holy Moon Magic Academy that Meilena gave herself to Su Mo.

Even now, Meilena would secretly come over every so often.

At Holy Moon Magic Academy, she was the Goddess in countless people's hearts, but here with Su Mo, she was delicate and obedient, complying with his every wish.

It was not until noon that Meilena woke up.

"Brother Su Mo."

Meilena's face was still flushed when she saw Su Mo.

Seeing her expression, Su Mo felt a little...

More than an hour later, Su Mo gave her some items he had exchanged from the Pay-to-Win System.

These items would not greatly increase Su Mo's God's Power, but they should help her break through to Legendary more quickly.

"I'm leaving, Brother Su Mo."

Meilena was quite reluctant to leave.

She could not stay with Su Mo for too long, lest someone discover her relationship with him.

After Su Mo gave her a hug, Meilena boarded the ship reluctantly and left.

"Master, we've found quite a few suspicious individuals. It will take some more time to confirm them," Nancy reported after Meilena left.

"Nancy, there's no need to confirm them. As long as they're suspicious and their status isn't high, capture them directly if you can. Bring them here first. If they're not the ones we're looking for, let them go afterward," Su Mo said indifferently.

"Yes, Master," Nancy said.

"Remember, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than let a single one slip through," Su Mo added.

Nancy lowered her head, showing that she had learned her lesson. "Yes, Master."

To Succubi, however, this kind of "killing" could be carried out in an entirely different way.

That was, killing every suspicious person.

Succubi were also a kind of Demon. To humans, they were evil.

Such evil was not a derogatory term in the Abyss, but an attribute of the Abyss itself.

In the Abyss, there was no concept of good or evil. Hunting and being hunted were the norm.

Talking about good and evil in the Abyss... that was the behavior of an idiot.

If the succubi had enough power, then to fulfill Su Mo's orders, they would kill everyone in an entire country without batting an eye.

To them, a god's command was everything.

Therefore, Su Mo's orders were often more specific.

The reason Su Mo had left Nancy in the World of Gods was also because she understood his orders better.

Su Mo did not want to kill too many people who were not protagonists. It was not because he was softhearted, but because he wanted to avoid causing too much of a stir.

Therefore, if the suspicious people they captured were not protagonists, Su Mo would have Nancy release them.

A protagonist who collected attributes—easy as pie!

A man's muttering rang out in a city.

He wandered back and forth through the bustling streets.

Every now and then, he would stretch out a hand and poke at the air beside someone.

To others, he looked like someone with ADHD.

But in truth—

Every poke brought him a decent reward.

"You picked up Strength +0.2."

"You picked up Fire Magic Experience +5."

"You..."

Messages continuously appeared on the panel as he moved.

"Ha, as expected, the gains are much better near the Magic Academy. Too bad I have no chance to meet those powerful mages. Otherwise, the gains would be even greater."

The man muttered to himself.

This man was also a protagonist with a Golden Finger.

And his Golden Finger was quite interesting.

It allowed him to collect attributes.

Within his field of vision—

There were clusters of light around certain people. As long as he poked one of those clusters open, he could obtain attribute points.

These clusters of light were not fixed either. They would disappear after enough time had passed.

He guessed that they were some kind of energy released when others cultivated or did things. It was just that no one could see them, nor could anyone obtain them.

Through his Golden Finger, this attribute collection system, he could obtain those attributes.

.

He had already discovered the pattern: the stronger the person whose bubble he poked open, the greater the benefits he received.

Unfortunately, with his current status, he had no way of coming into contact with overly powerful beings.

For the past two days, he had been wandering around near the Magic Academy.

The gains truly were not bad.

However, he had not encountered any especially powerful mages or knights.

Many powerful mages and knights enjoyed cultivating, and every cultivation session lasted quite a while.

Mages in particular could spend years studying magic without ever leaving home.

The Bronze Rank system's restrictions are still too severe. There's a strict daily limit on how many times I can collect attributes. Once I've built up some strength, I'll still have to find a way to kill a few Villains and upgrade my Golden Finger, the protagonist thought.
