I've Become a Demon God, Yet You Want Me to Be a Villain — Section 30

As for the temple in the sky... ordinary people could not enter it.

"There really are Protagonists in the Holy See."

Several warning messages had appeared on Su Mo's Villain Panel.

There were currently eight of them!

This meant there were eight Protagonists nearby.

These eight Protagonists had not necessarily all joined the Holy See. Some might simply be hiding nearby. After all, even if those villains came face-to-face with them here—

They would not dare make a move.

Unless the villains no longer cared about their lives.

Before long, the two approached the church.

Not far away, a squad of Temple Knights in enchanted armor marched past in neat formation.

Su Mo looked over and met the gaze of one of the Temple Knights.

This was a Protagonist.

Su Mo recognized him instantly.

The Temple Knight recognized Su Mo as well. At such close range, his panel had already identified Su Mo for him.

The Temple Knight's lips curled slightly, his gaze filled with blatant provocation.

It was as if he were saying:

"I'm right here. Come kill me."

Interesting.

Neither Su Mo's expression nor his gaze changed.

Nor did he become angry.

On the contrary.

He found it interesting.

This Protagonist was rather arrogant.

That squad of Temple Knights was part of the Reserve Knight Order. Within the Reserve Knight Order, their strength was at most first or second tier.

That level of strength was clearly not enough to provoke a Count.

Not to mention that this Count was a villain.

Yet this guy had done exactly that.

Was he certain... that Su Mo could do nothing to him?

After all, this was the heart of the Holy See.

Above them stood the Goddess of the Crescent's most important temple. The goddess's gaze could fall upon this place at any time.

Who would dare make a move here?

.

"Stop," Su Mo said.

The carriage came to a halt.

Seeing the carriage stop, the Temple Knight did not panic. Instead, the provocation in his eyes grew even stronger.

He looked as though he were waiting to see Su Mo make a fool of himself.

If there had not been other people nearby, he might even have made a provocative gesture.

"What is it?"

The moment Su Mo's carriage stopped, the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom, whose attention had been fixed on him, noticed. Her own carriage stopped as well.

Then, the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom lifted the curtain and asked.

When the Temple Knight saw the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom, his eyes lit up.

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom was not only an unparalleled queen, but also the most beautiful woman in the Crescent Kingdom.

A queen like her... was simply far too alluring to Transmigrators with no taboos.

Especially those who were Protagonists.

They had likely all made conquering the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom one of their goals.

At this moment, he had yet to realize the severity of the situation.

Until—

Su Mo spoke. "Your Majesty, what is the deal with that Temple Knight? He has been provoking me this whole time."

At Su Mo's words, the Crescent Queen's pretty face instantly frosted over.

"Cathy, bring that squad of Temple Knights over. Dolly, notify the people from the Inquisition."

The Crescent Queen spoke coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cathy and Dolly each accepted their orders.

Before long, Cathy arrived before that squad of Temple Knights and produced a Token.

"The Saintess commands that all of you come over."

"Yes!"

The captain of that squad of Temple Knights respectfully saluted, then led the knights over.

"Why is he with the Queen?"

At that moment, the Protagonist among the Temple Knight Order began to panic.

He had already sensed that something was wrong.

After joining the Holy See's Temple Knight Order, it was extremely difficult for anyone to touch him.

Even in other kingdoms, it would not be easy for a king to make a move against him.

But...

This was the Crescent Kingdom.

And the current Crescent Queen had another identity...

She was the Saintess of the Goddess of the Crescent!

A Saintess held immense authority within the Holy See.

Although the current Crescent Queen was preparing to transfer her authority to a new Saintess, she had not yet completed the handover.

Therefore, if the Crescent Queen wanted to interfere in the Holy See's affairs... she absolutely could!

Having understood this, the Protagonist watched as the squad drew closer and closer to Su Mo's carriage.

The smile on his face gradually froze.

The Queen's domineering side! Spitting blood!

Very soon, the squad from the Temple Knight Order arrived before the two carriages.

"He must have simply happened to be traveling with the Crescent Queen. I haven't done anything excessive—I merely provoked a Count. Even if the Crescent Queen is a Saintess, she can't punish me for that."

The Protagonist quickly steadied himself.

Though he sensed trouble, after thinking it over carefully, he felt there was a strong chance he could get through this crisis.

In his view, Su Mo might simply have happened to be traveling with the Crescent Queen.

He had provoked Su Mo, and then Su Mo had gone whining to the Crescent Queen.

Su Mo was, after all, a Count. A Count was not particularly high-ranking, but neither was he insignificant.

They could be considered the backbone of a kingdom.

Therefore, faced with Su Mo's complaint, the Crescent Queen would certainly look into it.

The Protagonist had no intention of denying it—that was, he had no intention of lying.

With the help of the Golden Finger, his growth rate had been fast, but the time had ultimately been too short.

His strength was still not that great. If he lied, it would be easy for the Holy See's people to detect it.

Wasn't it just provoking a Count?
