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

The nobles had no authority over the Queen's guards.

But Cathy, the female official the Queen trusted most, had specifically instructed them last night to treat Su Mo with the highest level of courtesy.

Any request Su Mo made had to be fulfilled.

Naturally, the captain of the guards did not dare offend Su Mo.

Seeing that the captain was getting angry, the two Protagonists could only force themselves to step forward.

They were like two broken-legged ants on a hot pan.

They were frantic, yet had nowhere to run.

The two kept asking what to do on the Protagonist Panel, but no one had a good solution.

If they disobeyed orders, they would not even get past the captain of the guards.

So in the end, the two of them came before the captain.

"Captain, what do you need moved? We stood guard all night and barely slept. We're exhausted, and we're afraid of delaying the Count's business. How about replacing us with two others?"

The two Protagonists were still struggling.

One of them even secretly took out a handful of Gold Coins, intending to bribe the captain.

Su Mo gave the two a calm glance, then turned and entered the Palace.

"You two... are you looking to die? The Count personally designated you to help, and you still dare drag your feet? Who do you take me for? Go, now. Otherwise, the Count will be angered."

The captain snorted.

"Captain, then come inside with us."

That Protagonist took out another handful of Gold Coins.

"Get lost!"

How could the captain dare accept them? He kicked each of them toward the main gate.

Seeing this, the two Protagonists could only enter the Palace with miserable expressions.

Once inside, they saw several people moving things around in the Palace.

"So we really are moving things?"

The two Protagonists froze.

They had no idea that the moment they entered the Palace, they had already fallen under Su Mo's Illusion.

They had not slept all night, and their anxiety had left their minds in a daze.

Even without using the Succubus Eye, it was easy for Su Mo to make them fall for it.

The Palace doors had not been closed.

"You two, go move that box."

Within the Illusion, someone spoke to them.

The two Protagonists headed deeper into the Palace and soon arrived at a separate room.

Just as they were about to move something, Su Mo's eyes in the room glowed red.

The two Protagonists immediately went blank.

Very quickly.

They spilled a great deal of information.

"Seventeen."

Su Mo murmured.

The two Protagonists knew quite a lot. For example, they knew that there were currently seventeen Protagonists in the Royal Capital.

And more Protagonists were continuously arriving.

They did not know what cheats the other Protagonists possessed, but they had a general idea of who was powerful.

At Crescent Magic Academy, there was a Protagonist who had been accepted by a Holy Domain as its last disciple, and he was extremely formidable.

Based on their descriptions, Su Mo felt that Protagonist was likely Talent-type.

His Magic Talent might be close to maxed out. At the very least, he was a Silver-grade Protagonist.

There was another one deep within the Holy See. The Holy See valued him greatly and was secretly cultivating him.

It was said that Protagonist might even have entered the Goddess of the Crescent's notice.

As expected, Protagonists had gathered here.

With so many Protagonists, it would not be easy to find them all at once anywhere else.

Divine Decree! Temple!

"Phew, I didn't expect him not to kill us."

"I told you, as long as we don't make any mistakes in the royal palace, how would he dare kill people so easily? That would offend the Queen and cause his standing in the kingdom to fall further and further."

"Yeah. What these Villains can rely on now is mainly their status. Without it, they're nothing."

"We should still be more careful. This Count of Inkstone Territory feels very different from the other Villains."

"..."

Outside the Palace where Su Mo resided, two Protagonists walked out.

They chatted in relief on the Protagonist Panel.

When they had first entered the Palace, Count of Inkstone Territory had truly only made them move things.

He had not killed them.

That allowed the two Protagonists to breathe a huge sigh of relief.

"Li Fei, Han Yu, how are things on your end?"

In the Protagonist Group, the other Protagonists began asking with concern.

"We're fine. Count of Inkstone Territory didn't dare make a move..."

Of the two Protagonists, Han Yu explained the situation in detail.

"See? I told you not to panic. You two were just too nervous."

"You can't blame them. Count of Inkstone Territory dealt with Tang Hua the moment he arrived, and his methods were ruthless. It's only natural for them to be nervous."

"Looking at it this way, Count of Inkstone Territory ultimately can't do whatever he wants. That's good. Otherwise, I wouldn't even dare come to the Royal Capital."

"Come before the Blessing Ceremony begins. These next few days, the Royal Capital is guarded at every turn. Those Villains won't dare make a move."

"..."

The atmosphere in the Protagonist Group quickly relaxed.

"Count, Her Majesty requests your presence."

At the Palace, Su Mo soon received a notice from a Female Official.

He left the Palace and glanced at the two Protagonists standing guard outside.

The two hurriedly straightened up and stared ahead, acting like the other guards.

With Tang Hua's fate as a warning, and with Su Mo not having killed them this time, they felt that as long as they did not make any mistakes, Su Mo would not dare act against them.

Su Mo withdrew his gaze and boarded the carriage.

The cheats of these two were rather interesting.

Their cheats were somewhat similar. As long as they worked regular nine-to-five jobs somewhere, they would continuously receive rewards, and their strength would keep increasing.

The more formidable the place where they worked, the faster their strength would grow.

No wonder the two had come to the royal palace to join the guard.

It was not merely to preserve their lives.

It was also to grow stronger.

The cheats of these Protagonists truly came in every conceivable variety.

As long as any type of cheat was leveled up, it could make its owner stronger.

These two had no idea that Su Mo had spared them only because, in his eyes, their cheats were somewhat useless. There was no need to deal with them immediately, and Su Mo did not want to affect his later plans.

Otherwise, given his relationship with Queen of the Crescent Kingdom, finding an excuse to kill the two of them would have been far too easy.

Before long, Su Mo appeared in another Palace.

"Mo, the Goddess has issued a Divine Decree. I only just received the news as well."
