I'm Already a Demon God, and You Want Me to Be a Villain

Naturally, their speed could not compare to airplanes from another world, but they were far faster than carriages and similar means of transportation.

They were not cheap either. More importantly, even having money did not guarantee that one could buy them.

However, Su Mo had more than a dozen of them. He could be said to be the noble with the most Magic Airships in the Crescent Kingdom.

No one knew that—

Every Magic Airship flying over the Castle carried several suspected protagonists.

They did not need to land. As long as they flew over the Castle, Su Mo could determine whether there was a protagonist aboard.

Any airship without a protagonist was immediately ordered to return.

At that moment, one airship received its orders and landed behind the Castle.

After landing, the several suspected protagonists inside were brought into the Castle.

All of them were still unconscious.

Su Mo looked over the suspected protagonists and quickly found the real protagonist.

His luck was not bad.

Another protagonist had been found.

The other suspected protagonists were taken away. They would be transported back overnight and returned to where they had been.

The suspected protagonists who could be knocked unconscious and brought here directly generally did not hold high status in the Crescent Kingdom. Their brief disappearance would not attract much attention.

After activating the Magic Array, Su Mo looked at the protagonist.

Soon, he learned the protagonist's information.

He was still a Bronze Rank protagonist.

"System of Lying Down to Get Stronger?"

This protagonist's system was rather interesting.

If he worked hard at cultivation or similar pursuits, the system would give him little reward.

On the other hand, as long as he neglected proper work and spent all day eating, drinking, and having fun, it would continuously grant rewards.

Of course, since the system was still Bronze Rank, the rewards remained limited.

After learning about this protagonist's cheat, Su Mo sent him back to his hometown and stripped away his system.

After stripping it away, Su Mo did not rush to recruit the system.

Instead, he stored it in the Villain Panel.

He glanced at his Villain Panel.

After killing this protagonist, Su Mo now had exactly 250 Villain Points.

After pondering for a moment, Su Mo used up those 250 Villain Points.

He successfully upgraded the Bronze Ring to a Silver Ring.

"Your Bronze Ring has been upgraded into a Silver Ring."

"You have become the first villain to possess a Silver-grade Cheat, gaining 100 Villain Points."

"Your Villain Rank has been raised to Silver-grade. Fortune +50."

A large number of notifications appeared on the Villain Panel.

.

After the Bronze Ring was upgraded to Silver-grade, Su Mo's Villain Rank was successfully raised to Silver-grade as well.

Su Mo looked at his Villain Panel.

Contestant: Su Mo

Villain Nickname: Phantom

Faction: Villain

Identity: Count of Inkstone Territory, Crescent Kingdom

Rank: Silver-grade (Upgrade requirements: possess one Gold-grade Cheat, or accumulate 5,000 Villain Points)

Villain Points: 700/100

Record: 5

Fortune Points: 77

Warning Distance: 25 kilometers

Ranking: None

New Permission: Viewable

After becoming a Silver-grade Villain, there were quite a few benefits.

The moment he became a Silver-grade Villain, his luck increased by 50 points. Including the luck Su Mo had stolen from this protagonist, Su Mo's luck had suddenly risen to 77 points.

The rank after Silver-grade was Gold-grade.

To advance to a Gold-grade Villain, the villain needed to possess a Gold-grade Cheat, or have accumulated 5,000 Villain Points.

Fulfilling either condition would allow them to advance.

The panel also displayed Su Mo's record.

He had now dealt with a total of five protagonists.

His record was 5.

The Warning Distance had also been halved, dropping from 50 kilometers to 25 kilometers.

There were some additional privileges as well.

Su Mo opened the new privileges section.

Compared to a Bronze-grade Villain, a Silver-grade Villain had two additional privileges.

Privilege One: A Silver-grade Villain could also use Villain Points to increase their own luck, though the cost was three times higher than for protagonists.

Privilege Two: After a Silver-grade Villain killed a Bronze Rank Protagonist, the chance of obtaining their Cheat was greatly increased.

Saint Soul! The renowned Count of Inkstone Territory!

"Summoning..."

"Summoning successful. You have obtained a Ring Spirit: Saint Soul Lois."

The information appeared on the Villain Panel.

After upgrading the ring to Silver-grade, Su Mo spent another 100 Villain Points to summon a Saint Soul.

A Bronze Ring could summon a Legendary Soul. After upgrading it into a Silver Ring, the souls it could summon had reached Saint Domain in strength.

Very soon, Su Mo sensed a sleeping Saint Soul inside the Silver Ring.

"Ring Grandma?"

Su Mo discovered that this time, the Silver Ring had summoned a Ring Grandma.

No, more accurately, she was not an old grandma, because she was quite young.

After sweeping the ring with his consciousness, Su Mo withdrew.

Then, Su Mo placed the Silver Ring into his Space Ring.

There was a powerful seal inside his Space Ring. Even if the Ring Grandma inside the Silver Ring woke up, she would not be able to peer outside.

"I can set off now."

After summoning this Saint Soul, Su Mo prepared to depart.

Before long, several Airships carried Su Mo and the knights under his command from his territory toward the Royal Capital.

According to the customs of the nobles of the World of Gods, if any noble had a chance to receive a god's blessing, they would wish they could grab a loudspeaker and announce it all the way there.

Naturally, Su Mo had no intention of doing that.

The Airships sped toward the Royal Capital.

Inside an Airship cabin, Su Mo sat there and used another Magic Experience Book.

The items in the Pay-to-Win System were quite good.

Over the past few days, the strength of Su Mo's human side had increased at an extremely rapid pace.
