I Have Become A Demon God. Did You Just Ask Me To Be A Minor Villain?

“Is that so?” Su Mo’s tone remained flat.

He feared that these people had approached him out of suspicion. What use could a small count like him be if they didn’t have any doubts? These few people were unaware of Su Mo’s other identity.

Jarrell nodded and said, “It’s not easy to kill people in the capital. Even as nobles, we face significant restrictions within the city.”

Su Mo asked, “How many of them are there?” He had no interest in hearing any more nonsense.

Su Mo knew the reason why they were unable to solve the issue without even having to think about it. It was impossible to accomplish anything easily in the capital. The protagonist’s early warning system was extensive. If they sensed any danger, there were numerous ways for them to save their lives. Just like Li Mang, the Krypton Gold Flow protagonist who concealed himself within the Holy Moon Academy of Magic.

These protagonists all had golden fingers. If they showed a little talent, it wouldn’t be too difficult for them to gain admission to the capital’s magic academy or other forces capable of supporting them.

“At first, there were only a few protagonists, but in recent days, more and more protagonists have been arriving in the capital. The number of protagonists in the city has now surpassed a dozen, and if this trend continues, their numbers will keep growing. This is exactly what er are worried about,” Jarrell said.

Su Mo understood their concerns. These protagonists also discovered the benefits of being in the capital. Although some protagonists had golden fingers that needed to be constantly on the move.

In other places, even if they were better hidden, their golden fingers couldn’t be concealed all the time. By hiding, their development was also restricted.

In the capital, as long as the protagonists were careful and avoided giving the villains a chance to strike, they could develop faster. After all, where else could they find such a large population and strong people as in the capital? For example, if a protagonist with the attribute-picking system came to the capital, their development would be much faster.

A few days after the game had begun, many protagonists started to come to their senses. They shared their experiences on the protagonist’s forum, leading to an increase in the number of protagonists in the capital.

“We initially planned to intercept them outside the King’s Capital, but there are too many of them, and these protagonists have a larger warning range than us. They are more cautious and can always find a way to bypass us. As long as we can’t detect them, our men will also have a hard time identifying them,” Jarrell said.

These protagonists in the capital had already become a source of trouble for Su Mo. As for why they didn’t go outside to find them… just kidding. The Crescent Kingdom was so vast that the chances of finding them would have been even lower. Except for one of the other protagonists who Su Mo killed and who was sent to his doorstep, the others were also discovered by the powerful intelligence organisation he had built. It had taken Su Mo several years to build this intelligence organisation, but it had not been omnipotent. Even if some suspected protagonists were discovered, it had not been easy for the intelligence organisation to take them away because of their identity.

In addition, some of the more hidden protagonists had not been discovered yet. After all, the Crescent Kingdom was a powerful kingdom with a population of over 100 million and a vast territory. Although these villains in the capital had a higher status, they had no match for Su Mo in terms of intelligence collection. On the contrary, if Su Mo had stayed in the capital, he might have found an opportunity to kill one or two protagonists.

“Where are they all?” Su Mo asked again.

Jarrell took another look at the heirs of the Duke sitting at the top. After the heirs nodded, Jarrell said, “There should be three to five in the Holy See, and two of them joined the reserve group of the Templar Knights. These protagonists are the most difficult to kill. It’s too risky to kill people in the Holy See, and they are very cautious.”

The Holy See!

These protagonists were indeed clever. It’s one thing to stay in the capital, but joining the Holy See, made it even more difficult to kill them. People in the Holy See were untouchable, even for the king. If they try to assassinate them and are caught, the consequences would be severe. Although staying hidden in the capital might be harder for them to locate, these protagonists were not fools. How could Su Mo possibly kill them?

“In addition to the protagonists in the Holy See, there are a few more in the Holy Moon Magic Academy. One of them has become a closed disciple of a sanctuary. As long as he doesn’t leave the capital… the possibility that we want to kill him is too small,” Jarrell continued.

Sure enough, others were hiding in the Magic Academy.

“There are also two protagonists in the royal guard of the palace. Although their status is not high, it is not easy for us to deal with them in the capital. We have no chance to intervene in the queen’s guard.”

“There is another one that shined in the official examination just now and has also been taken seriously…” Jarrell continued.

Soon, they roughly explained the situation of the protagonists in the capital. These protagonists proved to be extremely difficult to eliminate, although the fact that they were challenging to kill didn’t mean they couldn’t be killed.

The individuals were making preparations, such as attempting to hire powerful assassins to aid in the mission. However, in the capital, there were significant risks involved in taking action.

The window of opportunity to act was small, and any delay could have resulted in failure. Furthermore, if Sanctuary had detected any indication of the conflict, they would have promptly arrived, leaving little chance for escape.

“The most formidable protagonist is likely located in the Holy See,” Jarrell stated, “I even suspect that there may be a gold-level protagonist concealed within its ranks!”

“He’s a gold-level protagonist! The protagonist’s level doesn’t necessarily reflect their strength but rather their cheat level and luck value. If he’s gold-level, then his opponents must also have gold-level cheats. A gold-level gold finger… both the growth rate and limit are too high. Of course, this is just speculation and hasn’t been confirmed yet,” Jarrell added.

Su Mo understood the situation. “So, you’re suggesting we invite Earl to join our Crescent Villain Alliance? Otherwise, we’ll all suffer once they grow stronger.”

After Jarrell explained the situation, he formally stated the purpose of his visit. “As for the income from killing the protagonist, the one who contributes the most will receive the highest share of the income,” Jarrell quickly added.

“The Crescent Villain Alliance?” Su Mo asked.

Jarrell let out a “hmm” and said, “The villain alliance, with the heirs of the duke as the leader, has already recruited many villains. If we can eliminate the protagonists in the Crescent Kingdom in the future, we can expand our influence and advance to the entire world of gods.”

After speaking, Jarrell looked at Su Mo expectantly. However, Su Mo responded with a straightforward “not interested.”.

The other villains in the room had varying expressions, with one even standing up to speak before being stopped by a duke’s heir. Jarrell seemed surprised by Su Mo’s refusal, but he looked at the heir, who stopped him and received a nod in response.

Jarrell suggested, “The Earl doesn’t need to rush to make a decision. How about we add him to the group first, and we can share any news about the protagonist in the future?”

“Good,” Su Mo agreed this time.

So, Su Mo joined a group of villains. There were dozens of people in this group of villains.

After joining the group, Su Mo stood up and left.

…………

As he departed, one of the villains couldn’t contain his frustration, muttering, “An earl, at most a Bronze-level villain, is so annoying… I’m so pissed off.”

“There might be something wrong with the Earl of Blackstone Territory,” a duke heir analysed. “He was too calm from the beginning to the end. Even after hearing that the protagonist might have a gold-level golden finger, his reaction didn’t change. This doesn’t seem like the response of a bronze-level villain.”

“I agree,” another duke heir chimed in. “For example, the way he knew about cement and porcelain more than a year ago, it’s possible he crossed over before us.”

“It shouldn’t be possible, but it really doesn’t make sense… let’s see if he takes any action,” the highest-ranking duke heir in the room spoke.

They then began discussing how to deal with the protagonists in the capital.
