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

Chapter 73-1

Chapter 73-1

This time, the harvest from sweeping through the Crescent Moon Kingdom was enormous. In just a few days, Su Mo had found and dealt with all the Protagonists secretly identified by his intelligence organization. Among them, there were certainly many mistakes.

Nancy provided a list of thousands of people, but in the end, only dozens were true Protagonists. Those who were wrongly identified were all released along with some other people, each receiving a silver coin. Besides achieving Su Mo's goal, this wave of actions also yielded good results for the Crescent Moon Holy See.

Those thugs, bandits, and other troublemakers who were enticed by Su Mo to sign demon contracts were all caught. Some other demons or spies for Demon Lords that Su Mo found were also exposed. In addition to this, the Crescent Moon Holy See also captured some other people who were influenced by demons in this wave of action.

The demons have been persistently infiltrating the World of the Gods. The Crescent Moon Kingdom has a population of over a hundred million, but the world's productivity was relatively low. Even the Crescent Moon Goddess could not ensure that everyone is her follower.

After all, she could not truly shine her divine light on everyone!

Some discontented commoners or morally ambiguous individuals, when swayed by demons, easily became the demons' pawns. When the demons plan large-scale disturbances, these pawns would become useful. Now, through this operation, a significant number of these pawns were eliminated!

"This time, catching so many people swayed by demons is very effective!"

"Yes, the entire kingdom's atmosphere has been cleansed. The Goddess must be very pleased."

"All thanks to the efforts of the Holy Son!"

In the headquarters of the Crescent Moon Holy See, many bishops rejoiced over the success of that operation.

Meanwhile, Su Mo, who oversaw the headquarters silently, quietly assessed his gains. The harvest from that operation was substantial. The number of Protagonists captured was in the 50s. Among them, there was one Silver Level Protagonist, while the other 51 were mostly Bronze Level.

Silver Level Protagonists were not only fewer in number but also more adept at hiding. Su Mo estimated that other Silver Level Protagonists in the Crescent Moon Kingdom likely sensed the danger after the death of Lance and slipped away.

Though there was only one Silver Level Protagonist, the harvest from that operation was impressive. The first ten Protagonists didn't provide a critical hit to the Villain Points. Still, the Villain Points obtained were used to upgrade the Critical Hit Talent to Gold Level.

The Gold Level Critical Hit Talent has the 370 X critical hit multiplier for ordinary harvests, depending on luck. The critical hit multiplier for the Villain Points was half of the ordinary harvest multiplier. In total, for the other 41 Protagonists, after Critical Hit, Su Mo received a total of 12,800 Villain Points!

The Silver Level Protagonist's critical hit was 4 times, which was excellent, yielding 2,000 Villain Points. The other 40 Protagonists also had critical hits, ranging from one to two times, with the highest reaching three times. This wave not only allowed Su Mo to directly surpass ten thousand in Villain Points but also gained all the Protagonist's golden fingers.

For a Gold Level Villain, the difficulty of obtaining the Protagonist's golden fingers further decreased. Su Mo didn't need to use the power of the Demon God to strip them; he could directly acquire the golden fingers.

The golden fingers varied, but there were no items from the Ring category. Protagonists following the Ring path often didn't stay in one place for long as they sought opportunities everywhere.

There were over a dozen systems, including talent paths and some special abilities. For instance, one Protagonist's golden finger was a Bronze Level Super Brain, giving the brain extraordinary computational abilities. The Protagonist used this Super Brain to learn magic at an astonishing speed, akin to mastering magic through scientific methods.

If not for the limited absorption speed of magic power, this individual's strength would have risen dramatically.

"Super Brain," Su Mo murmured. This golden finger was decent, but its effect wasn't as significant for him, a Demon God skilled in mental aspects. His brain's development was already exceptionally high.

Those who could ascend to Godhood were not fools. Even the seemingly simple-minded Long Nail Demon God had a brain equivalent to a supercomputer.

Some forces, like rule powers, the condensation of divine power, the upgrading and strengthening of the divine body, and even progressing to the authority of a God, were incredibly complex. Understanding them required the most advanced computers from Su Mo's pre-transmigration era, and even then, it would take countless years, if not an impossibility to calculate.

That's because they existed in a different dimension. If Gods could master these forces, why would their brains be inferior?

Of course, the operational mode of a God's brain was fundamentally different from that of a computer. Once this Super Brain's level was raised, it might become more useful for Su Mo.

In addition to the Protagonist with the Super Brain golden finger, there was another Protagonist with a fascinating golden finger. This Protagonist's right hand underwent a mutation, allowing him to extract attributes from certain objects and transfer them to others. Some active attributes could even be transferred to himself!

This golden finger was similar to the sweeping monk Protagonist's extraction system but with some differences. This golden finger could be used to strengthen objects, which had a significant impact on Su Mo.

Ordinary items, no matter how strengthened, were only so-so valuable in Su Mo's eyes. But what about artifacts that were inherently challenging to strengthen?

Unfortunately, this Protagonist's golden finger was Bronze Level. The Protagonist could not extract too much or too advanced due to limitations in quantity. Otherwise, his growth would surpass even the sweeping monk Protagonist.

Besides this, most other Protagonists follow talent paths. Only talent-path Protagonists prefer staying in one place for development, especially in Magic Academies. During this period, these talent-path Protagonists were scared by Su Mo. Fearing exposure, they showcased their talents in the Magic Academy, gaining attention.

Almost every talent-path Protagonist now had a teacher of Forbidden Curse Level or higher. They didn't know that their eagerness to display their talents allowed Su Mo's people to discover them. In just a few days, so many outstanding mages suddenly emerged in the Crescent Moon Kingdom's Magic Academy—something was amiss!
