Now That I've Become a Demon God, You Want Me to Be a Villain, Section 8

Some Villains also had Protagonists nearby. These Villains mobilized their own forces to search for and deal with the Protagonists, and one Villain had nearly caught up to his Protagonist.

He was just about to claim the first kill.

Then a notification appeared in the discussion area: the Villains' first kill had been taken by a Villain named "Phantom."

That left those Villains feeling miserable.

"A Protagonist has already been killed?"

"Damn it, I need to hide better and develop for a while longer."

"This Villain called Phantom is probably pretty formidable. I hope he isn't anywhere near me."

"..."

The death of the first Protagonist also sparked some discussion in the Protagonists' discussion area.

It gave quite a few Protagonists a sense of crisis.

"Master, how should we deal with the Legendary Soul?"

In the hall, Sylvie looked at the restrained Legendary Soul and spoke.

Su Mo played with the Bronze Ring, slowly forming an idea.

He looked at the Legendary Soul and said flatly, "Tell me about every opportunity you know of."

The Legendary Soul began speaking dully.

As a Ring Grandpa, this soul might have been Legendary-grade, but it was nowhere near comparable to Su Mo.

Still, if used properly, a Protagonist's Golden Finger could also be used to increase one's strength.

It all depended on how Su Mo used it.

As the possessor of an extraordinarily powerful Succubus bloodline, Su Mo had an incredibly potent bloodline skill.

Succubus Eye.

This skill was a mental ability. Anyone without sufficiently strong mental power simply could not resist it.

This Legendary Soul was directly controlled by Su Mo.

Very quickly, it revealed every opportunity it had originally intended to give the Protagonist.

There were quite a few.

After all, it was a Ring Grandpa.

Once the Legendary Soul had finished speaking, Su Mo killed it with a thought.

"Sylvie, send people to find them."

Su Mo spoke.

"Yes, Master."

Sylvie went to make the arrangements.

The opportunities the Legendary Soul had described were all quite good.

Su Mo currently possessed two kinds of power.

One was the power of a Demon God brought by his Succubus bloodline.

The other was the power he possessed after concealing his Succubus bloodline, the power belonging to his human side.

The second kind of power was not particularly strong. It had not even reached Archmage Rank.

If it could be improved, that would be quite good as well.

Perhaps... one day, Su Mo, a dignified Demon God, could even enter the Heavenly Realm as one of the Celestial Gods and stroll around.

This ring could be put to use.

The method was simple: summon the Ring Grandpa.

Then, through the Succubus Eye, directly ask them about the opportunities they had prepared for the Protagonist.

Heavenly Net! Another one found!

"Item: Bronze Ring. Authorization acquired. Spend 50 Villain Points to perform Ring Spirit Summon."

After Su Mo gained authorization over the ring, its information had become visible on the Villain Panel.

There were not many Villain Points.

Su Mo tried again and discovered that upgrading this Bronze Ring into a Silver Ring required 500 Villain Points.

Based on one Bronze Rank Protagonist being worth 100 Villain Points, killing five Bronze-grade Villains would be enough.

Su Mo pondered for a moment, then spent 50 Villain Points to give it a try.

Very soon, a new Ring Grandpa appeared from within the ring.

This Ring Grandpa was still in soul form.

"Are you coming out on your own, or should I drag you out?"

Su Mo said flatly.

"Heh heh heh... little one..."

A soul fluctuation came from within the ring.

But just as the soul fluctuation appeared, it was immediately extinguished.

The next second.

A transparent soul emerged from within the ring.

A faint red glow rose in Su Mo's eyes.

"Still Legendary-grade..."

A few minutes later, Su Mo obtained what he wanted.

The Ring Grandpa summoned this time was still Legendary-grade.

However, perhaps because he had been conscripted by someone aligned with the "Villain" faction.

This Ring Grandpa who appeared had once been a Necromancer.

This Legendary-grade Necromancer had secretly used living people for experiments.

He turned everyone in an entire city into undead.

This drew the joint assault of other Legendary Mages, and he died as a result.

Then Su Mo summoned him using the Bronze Ring.

This Necromancer also knew of quite a few opportunities.

Moreover, as a Ring Grandpa, he still retained a considerable amount of power.

After Su Mo killed him, he also stripped away that remaining power.

"I'll deal with it after upgrading it."

After killing the Necromancer, Su Mo tossed the Bronze Ring into a storage space.

The current Bronze Ring was somewhat helpful to him, but not by much.

Once he had more Villain Points and upgraded it to Silver-grade, he would see what level of Ring Grandpa it could summon.

After handling these matters, Su Mo said, "Nancy, mobilize the Dark Web and find every suspicious person in the Crescent Kingdom."

He carefully explained some of the Protagonists' characteristics to Nancy.

Every Protagonist was a Transmigrator and possessed their own Golden Finger.

No matter how cautious they were, if they wanted to become stronger, they were bound to differ from ordinary people in many ways.

Su Mo had long since laid down an extremely detailed intelligence network throughout the Crescent Kingdom.

Finding the Protagonists in the Crescent Kingdom would not be difficult for him.

"Yes, Master."

Nancy committed Su Mo's words to memory, then silently left Su Mo's Castle.

Very soon, Nancy arrived at a secret building.
