You Want Me to Be a Villain When I've Already Become a Demon God — Chapter 33

Everyone participating in the Blessing Ceremony had to undergo this inspection.

In fact, there were many more steps to the inspection, but with Queen of the Crescent Kingdom's guarantee, Su Mo only needed to go through the final one.

Under the cover of the Holy Light, even the slightest trace of Demonic Aura on Su Mo would be discovered.

Even if someone had signed a contract with a demon or something similar, it would be detected.

The power of a contract was invisible, but once one had been made, there would always be traces to follow.

As the Holy Light enveloped him, a special Magic Array began to turn around Su Mo.

The Magic Array radiated a Sacred Aura.

Su Mo sensed that this Magic Array could even inspect souls.

Of course, it was not checking what others were thinking, but rather the purity—or perhaps devotion—of their souls.

"Count, please do not resist. We need to perform the final inspection."

A bishop's voice rang out.

Su Mo gave a soft "Mm" and offered no resistance.

The Sacred Aura enveloped him.

Su Mo felt as though his soul were being scanned.

However, even the scan at the start of the Protagonist and Villain game had failed to detect Su Mo's identity as a Demon God.

Even if this Magic Array had been bestowed by the Goddess of the Crescent, it was nothing more than child's play to him.

"Huh..."

At that moment, a soft exclamation sounded.

Then, a Red Archbishop stood up from beside the Demon Disc controlling the Magic Array.

"Why is his Soul Purity so high?"

The Red Archbishop looked at Su Mo, surprise on his face.

"Bishop Feren, what is it?"

Queen of the Crescent Kingdom walked over.

When she saw the number on the Demon Disc, surprise also appeared on her lovely face.

Because the number displayed was actually even higher than the one she had received during her own test.

She was the Saintess of the Goddess of the Crescent.

A Saintess was someone most devoted to the Goddess. In the entire Holy See, no one's Soul Purity was higher than hers.

And now... an unexpected result had appeared.

The Queen's Worry! The Protagonist Was Secured!

"Sure enough, it worked?"

Inside the Magic Array, when Su Mo heard that soft exclamation, he was basically certain.

As expected, his Soul Purity had tested exceptionally high.

This was because, after Su Mo's Succubus bloodline evolved to a certain stage, his soul had begun to evolve as well.

To the Holy See, Soul Purity was, in some respects, equivalent to devotion.

For someone like Queen of the Crescent Kingdom, her Soul Purity would test extremely high within the Crescent Holy See.

But if she went to the Holy See of another god, it naturally would not work.

.

Su Mo's soul was simple and exceptionally pure.

This was an effect brought about after the Succubus bloodline had evolved to an extremely high stage.

His bloodline had already reached an incomparably high level.

However, bloodline was not the same as strength.

The higher the bloodline, the faster one's growth and the greater one's potential.

Because his bloodline was so high, Su Mo's growth was also becoming faster and faster.

Even without any other Golden Finger, his strength as a Demon God was constantly rising.

.

Compared with the bloodlines of many powerful Innate Demon Gods, Su Mo's Succubus bloodline was no weaker.

During its evolution, it had undergone other changes as well.

For example, the purity of his soul.

Now, even if Su Mo went to the Holy See of another Celestial God for testing, his Soul Purity would still be extremely high.

Of course, if someone with such high Soul Purity suddenly appeared, they would certainly also become a target of suspicion.

If he had no identity or status, he might even be subjected to the Holy See's control and investigation.

That was why Su Mo had spent so long laying the groundwork in the Crescent Kingdom.

With that preparation in place, everything fell into place naturally.

"Lord Ferun, could there be a problem with the Magic Array?"

Another bishop beside the Demon Disc asked.

"Impossible. This is a sacred Magic Array bestowed by the Goddess. There can't be any problem with it."

The Red Archbishop said.

"Then how should we handle this?"

The bishop asked.

"Pray first and see what the Goddess intends. As for the Count of Inkstone Territory..."

As the Red Archbishop spoke, he subconsciously looked at the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom.

Such high Soul Purity... If it were anyone else, they would certainly be kept in the Holy See first and subjected to all sorts of background checks.

The World of Gods had special laws of operation. These laws had been reinforced jointly by the gods of the Heavenly Realm, and even gods could not easily act within the World of Gods.

This was to prevent disasters from befalling the ordinary people of the World of Gods.

If demon gods from the Abyss descended into the World of Gods, they would likewise be heavily suppressed.

The gods of the Heavenly Realm would not descend lightly either.

If it was an ordinary crisis, the gods of the Heavenly Realm could entirely bestow their power upon a Saint Son or Saintess within the Holy See.

The higher one's Soul Purity, the easier it was to communicate with a god.

It also meant they could bear more of a god's power.

If Su Mo had been an ordinary person, then after being investigated and found to have no problems, he would have been taken into the Holy See for training.

If the Goddess of the Crescent had been willing, Su Mo might even have become the new Saint Son.

However, Su Mo was no ordinary person. He was the famed Count of Inkstone Territory.

Moreover, his relationship with the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom was far from ordinary.

That was why the Red Archbishop needed to see what the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom intended.

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom glanced at Su Mo and said, "Since the examination found no problems, I'll take him away for now. Once the Goddess issues any Divine Decree, we'll act accordingly."

The Red Archbishop pondered for a moment before saying, "Very well. We'll do as the Saintess says."

With that, he used the Demon Disc in his hand to shut down the sacred Magic Array.

"Let's go."

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom came before Su Mo and said.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Su Mo pretended not to know and asked.

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom hesitated, but ultimately told Su Mo, "There were no problems with the examination. You can take part in the Blessing Ceremony, but something unexpected came up."

Su Mo looked at her.

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom said, "The test showed that your Soul Purity is extremely high—even higher than mine... If the Goddess personally confirms that there is no problem, there is a chance she may choose you to become the Saint Son..."

As she said this, the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom was actually quite worried.
