You Want Me to Be a Villain When I've Already Become a Demon God

Yet she also felt that Su Mo seemed very far away from her, giving her a sense that he was beyond her reach.

That feeling made the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom even more infatuated with Su Mo.

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom spoke at length about the Horton Kingdom. Afterward, she brought up the matter of Goddess's Blessing with Su Mo.

"Everyone participating in Goddess's Blessing must be brought to the Holy See for an inspection, to prevent spies from other kingdoms from slipping in. However, I have already vouched for you, so you only need to undergo the final inspection."

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom explained the details of Goddess's Blessing to him carefully.

In the World of Gods, the Holy See attached great importance to God's Blessing ceremonies. If spies from other countries, or followers of other gods, were allowed to infiltrate them, they could bring trouble to the Heavenly Realm.

Even the smallest trouble was more than the Holy See could bear.

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom had truly done a great deal for Su Mo.

Su Mo had only been laying out his plans in the Crescent Kingdom for a few years, and his identity was, in fact, somewhat unclear.

Unlike other Transmigrators, perhaps because he had transmigrated ahead of time, Su Mo had not had his soul transmigrate. He had crossed over directly.

If not for the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom vouching for him as both a queen and a saintess, there was no way Su Mo could have entered the Goddess's Blessing ceremony.

"The Holy See's newly trained saintess will soon take office. Once the new saintess assumes her position, I can relinquish my identity as a saintess and focus on being a queen."

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom soon revealed another piece of news.

As she spoke, she carefully observed Su Mo's expression.

However, to her disappointment, Su Mo's expression did not change much.

A king could not remain without an heir.

Even though monarchs in this world generally lived very long lives, they still needed descendants in order to stabilize a kingdom.

And a Saintess of God had to keep both body and mind pure.

Not only could she not marry, she could not even touch the hand of a member of the opposite sex, nor could she entertain such thoughts.

The identities of saintess and monarch were inherently incompatible.

Therefore, the Holy See had already begun training a new saintess so that the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom could focus on ruling as queen.

And once she was no longer a saintess, she would have the right to choose her own husband.

Recently, quite a few Great Nobles in the kingdom had wanted members of their families to become her husband.

Those nobles were more powerful than Su Mo, all Duke-level Great Nobles.

A queen's husband had to at least come from a Duke Family to be qualified.

But those men... she did not fancy a single one of them.

Instead, she had taken a liking to Su Mo, a mere count!

That was also one of the small ulterior motives behind her invitation to Su Mo today.

First, she had not seen Su Mo for too long. Second, she wanted to see his reaction.

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom hesitated, feeling that Su Mo might not know this.

But for her to say it aloud herself... she simply could not bring herself to do so.

In the end, even when the banquet was over, she gave no further hints.

However, her determination to choose Su Mo as her husband only grew stronger.

This time, she also wanted Su Mo to gain the recognition of the Goddess of the Crescent.

The Royal Capital in an Open Cards state!

The banquet ended.

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom personally saw Su Mo out of the Palace.

The carriage left the royal palace.

This time, not long after it departed, several carriages approached from ahead and blocked Su Mo's carriage.

"Who goes there?"

The guarding knights stepped forward.

"Count of Inkstone Territory, have you ever heard of Three Three Nine?"

Several people dressed in noble attire emerged from the carriage ahead, and one of them spoke.

Three Three Nine?

A Transmigrator code phrase?

Su Mo glanced at the Villain Panel. There was no prompt, which meant this person was a villain.

When villains encountered villains, there would be no prompt.

"Let them come over."

Su Mo replied calmly.

The knights guarding them stepped aside.

The group quickly arrived before the carriage.

"Count of Inkstone Territory, may we speak somewhere private? Rest assured, we mean no harm."

A young man spoke.

Su Mo's gaze swept over the people beside him. In the end, he agreed.

"Alright."

Let's see what these fellows were up to.

"This is Grand Duke Hill's eldest legitimate son. Grand Duke Hill is advanced in years, and the entire family is now under his control..."

"This is..."

About half an hour later, in a lavishly decorated room filled with Magic Arrays, a man was introducing the other villains.

There were quite a few villains here.

Moreover, every one of them held an extremely high status.

There were three heirs and actual rulers of ducal families, as well as several from marquis families.

By comparison, Su Mo, a count, held the lowest status among them in the Crescent Kingdom.

These people's Villain Ranks had also been higher from the start.

For instance, the villains from the ducal families were all Silver-grade Villains.

A villain's initial rank was likely related to their status and the strength they possessed after transmigrating.

As for a Protagonist's rank, it was related to the level of their Golden Finger.

"Count, do you know that quite a few Protagonists have already set their sights on you?"

After the introductions, the man named Jerol spoke.

As for what his name had been before transmigrating, he had not mentioned it.

This Jerol had just inherited the position of marquis.

"Oh?"

Su Mo looked at him, his expression calm.

Jerol said, "Count, you may not know because Inkstone Territory is so remote, but here in the Royal Capital, people already know quite a bit about you. It could be said that you are a villain in the Crescent Kingdom whose identity is out in the open."

After saying that, he watched Su Mo's reaction.

Su Mo's reaction remained as calm as ever.

The products from another world that he had invented were far too obvious. It was impossible for Transmigrators not to recognize them.

Now, since the game had only begun a few days ago and information in this world was not especially well-connected, some Protagonists who had started from a lower position might not yet know of Su Mo's existence.

But these villains with such high status could not possibly be unaware of him.

Moreover, they might already have grown suspicious.

After all, Su Mo had been in the Crescent Kingdom for quite some time.

As long as a Transmigrator did not have an intellectual deficiency, they would be able to notice that something was amiss.

Su Mo said calmly, "Did you invite me here in the middle of the night merely to tell me this?"
