I've Become a Demon God, and You Want Me to Be a Villain? Part 41

This was the first time he had formally appeared before the gaze of a Celestial Realm God.

Not as a Demon God.

But as a human Count.

Su Mo was fully confident that he could evade her scrutiny.

Come to think of it, after becoming a Demon God, Su Mo's name had yet to reach the Celestial Realm.

The Goddess of the Crescent probably did not even know that an additional Demon God had silently emerged in the Abyss.

Who could blame him for becoming a Demon God so quickly?

The goddess's gaze descended soundlessly, unnoticed even by the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom.

She was still praying.

Su Mo noticed it, but nothing showed on his face.

After the goddess's gaze had examined Su Mo for quite some time...

"Mo, the goddess will bestow her power. Pray with all your strength and see if you can communicate with her."

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom received a Divine Decree and spoke to Su Mo.

Su Mo began to pray. As he did, he soon felt a magnificent gate open.

Beyond the gate lay a sacred place filled with endless light.

Then, a force rushed out from within and quickly entered Su Mo's body.

As that power entered him, Su Mo felt his Succubus bloodline stir restlessly.

Not yet!

Su Mo forcibly suppressed the yearning of his Succubus bloodline.

After twenty years of evolution, his Succubus bloodline had reached an unimaginably high level.

It had also encountered a bottleneck.

To break through that bottleneck, Su Mo needed to borrow the power of a Celestial Realm God.

But Demon Gods and Celestial Realm Gods were natural enemies. What Celestial Realm God would lend Su Mo their core power for him to analyze?

The Goddess of the Crescent was the breakthrough Su Mo had found.

The Goddess of the Crescent's power rapidly flowed into Su Mo's body.

Su Mo's aura continuously rose.

It soon reached Forbidden Spell level, then Legendary, Holy Domain—

Beside him, surprise appeared on the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom's pretty face.

Because the amount of the Goddess of the Crescent's power Su Mo could bear was simply too great.

After all, this was the first time Su Mo had communicated with the Goddess of the Crescent.

And his first communication had produced such results!

The Goddess of the Crescent's power continued to stream into Su Mo's body without end. Finally...

Su Mo's aura surged in one stroke to the Demigod level!

This was not Su Mo's own power, but the power of the Goddess of the Crescent.

Celestial Realm Gods could temporarily bestow power upon their Saint Sons or Saintesses in this manner, allowing them to resolve many matters.

The higher one's Soul Purity and devotion, the more power one could bear.

Ordinary people naturally had no way of bearing God's Power at all.

This was not the end. Su Mo's aura continued to rise.

It soon touched the peak of Demigod-level, nearly reaching the level of a pseudo-god.

A pseudo-god was only one step away from a true god.

On the Continent of Gods, when a Demon God descended, they would often be suppressed to the level of a pseudo-god.

Not far away, the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom's pretty face was already filled with shock.

She had not expected Su Mo to be able to bear so much of the Goddess of the Crescent's power.

Even as a Saintess... she could only barely bear Demigod-level power.

And it could only last for a very short time.

Yet on Su Mo's first communication with the Goddess of the Crescent... the power he bore had nearly reached pseudo-god level!

Finally, Su Mo's aura trembled.

The power he bore had reached the False God Rank!

Then, that power rapidly receded.

The Goddess of the Crescent withdrew her power.

"Mo..."

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom did not know whether she should be happy or worried.

Su Mo had borne too much power. This showed that his Soul Purity was extraordinarily high, allowing him to communicate with the Goddess of the Crescent so smoothly.

On their very first communion, he had been able to bear power at the False God Rank!

For someone like Su Mo... it would be hard for the Goddess of the Crescent not to be moved by him!

Saint Order! Why was he here?

Inside the temple, the Goddess of the Crescent withdrew her power very quickly.

She had likely withdrawn it so soon because she was worried that letting her power descend for too long on the first attempt would affect Su Mo's body.

Even a Saint Son or Saintess could not bear God's Power for an extended period.

After the goddess withdrew her power, her gaze did not leave.

After lingering on Su Mo for a while longer, Su Mo felt the Goddess of the Crescent's gaze finally withdraw.

Then, the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom received a new divine decree.

"Let's go."

After receiving the new divine decree, the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom's emotions became even more complicated.

Because...

Judging by the contents of the decree, the Goddess of the Crescent had likely truly taken a liking to Su Mo.

Naturally, this was not the kind of affection between a man and a woman.

Rather, the Goddess of the Crescent likely intended to make Su Mo her Saint Son.

Although...

The Goddess of the Crescent had never appointed a Saint Son before.

Seeing that Su Mo was very likely to be favored by the goddess, she felt a tumult of emotions.

She should have been happy for the Goddess of the Crescent, because a more powerful Saint Son or Saintess was of immense significance to a god.

If a god wished to descend in person, certain rituals had to be prepared, and there were also certain risks.

The expenditure of power was considerable as well.

However, by sending power down through a Saint Son or Saintess, a god could descend the greatest power with the least expenditure.

At such times, the upper limit of power that a Saint Son or Saintess could bear was crucial.

Due to the special laws of the World of Gods, the upper limit of power Su Mo could bear had almost reached the ceiling of the Continent of Gods itself.

This was of immense significance to the Goddess of the Crescent.

.

Yet Su Mo was already the one and only love in her heart.

Other than Su Mo, there was no room in her heart for anyone else.

Nor could she possibly look favorably upon another man.

One had to know that even the Goddess of the Crescent's divine radiance... had failed to stop her love for Su Mo.

Under the shroud of divine radiance, a Saintess was naturally immune to emotions such as affection and love.

Yet with Su Mo, she was an exception.
