I've Become a Demon God, and You Want Me to Be a Villain — Part 38

Meanwhile, after receiving the order, Barbara quickly used a large number of Magic Stones to open the passage.

Then, Barbara sent several servant demons from the Succubus Dynasty into the passage.

The moment they entered, the servant demons appeared inside a Magic Array.

This place was still quite some distance from the Royal Capital.

The Magic Array, set up inside an abandoned building, concealed the divine light from the sky, so the servant demons went unnoticed when they appeared.

There were no humans inside the Magic Array.

After one servant demon returned to report the situation, a succubus appeared in the Magic Array.

The succubus began examining the Magic Array.

Before long, she had figured out everything about it.

Barbara reported the findings to Su Mo at dawn the next day.

The Magic Array covered quite a large area and had been arranged differently. It was powered entirely by Magic Stones and drawn with Short-term Magic Patterns.

The entire Magic Array would completely dissipate just after the Goddess of the Crescent's Blessing Ceremony ended.

Not even the slightest trace would remain.

There were no humans inside or around the Magic Array.

Those few people from the Villain Alliance had done a truly flawless job.

They had completely removed themselves from the matter.

It would not be easy to trace it back to them.

This passage could be used to send the Demon Army through in advance and hide them away.

As for Demon God Descent, that was still impossible. The passage was too small.

Those few people from the Villain Alliance definitely had other arrangements.

Perhaps they had long since prepared a large number of suicide soldiers for a blood sacrifice.

They only needed to wait for the Demon Army to rush out and draw the Goddess of the Crescent's attention. Once the blood sacrifice began, the power unleashed by the Demon God Descent would shatter everything around the ritual site.

With every trace erased, it would not be easy to investigate who had organized the blood sacrifice.

Those people had removed themselves from it again!

Opening a passage for a Demon God required quite a few suicide soldiers to participate in the blood sacrifice.

For ordinary nobles, quietly accomplishing all of this was basically impossible.

Those people had certainly made quite a grand investment.

It suited the identities they had gained after transmigrating.

After figuring out the situation with that Magic Array, Su Mo had basically grasped the plans of those few people in the Villain Alliance.

As for the Spike Demon God, he had not invited Su Mo along because he intended to share any benefits with him.

As a Demon God, how could he possibly be that kind-hearted?

Otherwise, why would he give Su Mo only one passage?

It was obvious... he wanted Su Mo to draw some attention and share some of the pressure.

Then he would toss Su Mo a little something and send him away.

"This guy isn't as stupid as I thought."

Su Mo smiled.

Sitting on the Golden Throne he always carried with him, he stared ahead and pondered silently.

He had no choice. He simply was not used to sitting in other chairs.

Before long, Su Mo came up with a plan.

"Spike... sorry about this."

Su Mo's plan was destined to screw Spike over.

And he was going to screw him over badly.

Not just Spike...

There were quite a few people Su Mo intended to screw over.

Even several Duke-level villains were making such major moves.

How could Su Mo, a dignified Demon God, possibly let them steal the spotlight?

Of course, for him, the most important thing right now was still the Blessing Ceremony.

That concerned the next stage of his bloodline's evolution and, more importantly, his understanding of the Heavenly Realm's power.

The Villain Alliance's operation this time was something he could put to good use.

If he used it well, he might be able to bring the Crescent Kingdom under his secret control in one fell swoop.

"Phew, I'm so sleepy..."

"Me too. Being a protagonist is exhausting. Why are the protagonists in novels always so carefree?"

"Maybe we're just too pathetic. Look at the forum—some protagonists are really powerful. They even dare to confront villains head-on."

"True. Who made us Bronze Rank trash?"

"Fortunately, he didn't make a move. That means he doesn't dare act without restraint either."

"Mmm~"

"..."

At this moment, outside Su Mo's Palace, two protagonists who had joined the Royal Palace Guard were secretly chatting through the Protagonist Panel.

Neither of them had gotten much sleep the night before.

They simply did not dare sleep.

With Su Mo right next door, how could they possibly fall asleep?

As for leaving... they did not dare leave either. The guard captain was still here, so how could they go?

Wouldn't that just give Su Mo an excuse to deal with them?

Thus, the two of them had spent the entire night on edge, forcing themselves to stay awake until dawn.

Although they were already fairly strong, staying awake like that still left them quite miserable.

.

Just then, the sound of the Palace doors opening rang out.

"Something's happening!"

The two protagonists hurriedly stood up and looked toward the Palace doors.

They saw Su Mo appear there, waving the guard captain over.

The guard captain walked over.

Then they saw Su Mo point at them.

The two protagonists exchanged a glance, immediately sensing trouble.

"You two, go in and help Count Su Mo move some things."

The guard captain said.

"Oh no, he's going to use force. Why can he command the guard captain?"

"Once we go inside, he can find any excuse he wants and forcefully kill us. At most, the Queen will blame him afterward!"

"What do we do? What do we do?"

"..."

The two protagonists panicked at once.

They were not Ring-type protagonists. Otherwise, they might have considered risking it and fighting Su Mo.

Although Ring-type protagonists still had to cultivate on their own, they had an extra means of saving their lives in the early stages.

If they were bold enough and used it well, they might even be able to kill the protagonist in return early on.

"What are you standing around for?"

Seeing that the two protagonists were not moving, the guard captain raised his voice, afraid that Su Mo would get angry.

If it had been any other noble, the guard captain would not have given them the time of day.
