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

Chapter 65-2

"The power is incredible!" Su Mo marveled. The abyssal fragment wasn't small; in his previous attempts, he could only crush a corner. This time, however, it was completely shattered! The might of Light and Dark Divine Power was impressive. After this strike, approximately one twentieth of the drop of divine power was consumed.

Divine power was remarkably durable. Su Mo didn't intend to use the remaining portion, saving it as his trump card.

"I need more sacred energy!" Su Mo whispered after witnessing the power of Light and Dark Divine Power.

Although Su Mo's Sacred Succubus bloodline could now accommodate both heavenly and abyssal forces, his body still primarily consisted of abyssal power. The heavenly power only integrated a drop of Light and Dark Divine Power previously absorbed from the Crescent Moon Goddess.

"First, let's deal with the final loose end, then plan for this matter." Su Mo pondered and formulated a plan.

…

"Lance, I initially intended to have you start as a regional bishop, but your outstanding performance in the assessment and the Goddess's appreciation for you led to your direct promotion as the Reserve Cardinal. As long as you perform well, my position will soon be yours."

While Su Mo was in the Abyss, in the Crescent Moon Capital, at the headquarters of the Holy See, the Cardinal, Ferren, was speaking to a tall man surrounded by numerous bishops, each of high status. Yet, they all held great respect and esteem for this man, who was none other than the last remaining Protagonist in the Crescent Moon Capital – Lance.

Of the twenty Protagonists in the Crescent Moon Capital, Su Mo had killed all but one – Lance. However, Lance exuded great confidence.

Within the group of Protagonists, this guy was incredibly calm and self-assured. Every time he appeared, the mood of the other Protagonists would instinctively settle down. This guy's words seemed to possess a peculiar charm. He was confident that he could easily deal with Su Mo, even if Su Mo's previous performance was so abnormal.

"Cardinal, rest assured, I will elevate the Crescent Moon Holy See to greater heights, letting the Goddess's glory shine in more places," Lance confidently declared. Though his words were somewhat arrogant, Cardinal Ferren applauded enthusiastically.

"Good, young and ambitious. With you and Count of Moshi Territory at my side, the Crescent Moon Holy See is bound to achieve new glory!" Cardinal Ferren's emotions surged.

Lance's curiosity stirred. "Cardinal, what position does Count of Moshi Territory hold in the Holy See now?"

After a moment's hesitation, Cardinal Ferren replied, "This matter cannot be disclosed temporarily; it is the command of the Goddess."

He didn't say. Yet, his words were equivalent to saying.

"Holy Son!"

^

Lance instantly guessed Su Mo's identity! Although he had thought it impossible before, Su Mo's recent actions within the Holy See and Cardinal Ferren's recent attitude made Lance speculate more. When combined, Lance became quite certain! Su Mo was undoubtedly the Holy Son of the Crescent Moon Goddess! Lance felt somewhat astonished.

"I didn't expect him to truly become the Holy Son. No wonder he could intervene even in the Religious Tribunal." Lance was surprised but not worried.

This guy exuded absolute confidence. So what if he's the Holy Son? He is now the designated successor to the position of Cardinal, and even the Crescent Moon Goddess values his abilities. Numerous bishops in the Holy See support him. Let's see whose methods are more sophisticated!

"However, I still need to guard against his schemes." Thinking to this point, Lance said to Cardinal Ferren, "Cardinal, when I traveled in the past, I accidentally disrupted a powerful demon's plot. I have a premonition that they might trouble me soon. Can you assign a strong protector to accompany me closely?"

"A powerful demon?" Cardinal Ferren pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, you don't need to worry within the Holy See headquarters. Except for the last demon invasion, no one dares to act here. Once you leave the headquarters, I will assign a Holy Level expert to protect you secretly. This Holy Level expert excels in defense. Even if ambushed by a Demi God Level assailant, they can withstand an attack and then use divine runes to take you away."

Holy Level! Divine runes! Lance smiled. In this world, advanced magical runes could shift positions. However, in battles against formidable opponents, such as the last demon invasion on the Temple Square, any magical rune would be useless. But there was an exception – divine runes!

Divine runes were incredibly rare! Cardinal Ferren was actually willing to give him a Holy Level to protect him.

"Thank you, Cardinal!" Lance expressed his gratitude.

"No need. You are my successor. When Count of Moshi Territory returns, you two can formally meet," said Cardinal Ferren. This indicated that he had already considered Lance as the formal successor.

"Okay." Lance's lips curved into a smile. Come on, Count of Moshi Territory, let's see who can outplay whom in the Holy See!

"Bishop, Lord Count has arrived." At this moment, a clergy member came to report.

As the saying goes, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!" This was his first meeting with Count of Moshi Territory. Perfect. Let the other party witness his prowess!

The current Count of Moshi Territory had gained some reputation on the forums. After all, he was the first to achieve the first kill and the first to reach a ten-kill streak, securing a place on the leaderboard. By dealing with him, Lance's name would resound even louder than Count of Moshi Territory's.

In his view, this was the meaning of being the Villain – a stepping stone for the Protagonist!

While contemplating these thoughts, a well-built, handsome man walked in from the opposite side. Count of Moshi Territory! He had already seen the other party's identity on the Protagonist panel. Count of Moshi Territory had also looked up and seen him! Lance revealed a playful expression.
