I Have Become A Demon God. Did You Just Ask Me To Be A Minor Villain? - Chapter 69-2

Su Mo calmly said, “You all know the praying mantis, right?”

The bishops nodded. Cardinal Ferren didn’t understand why Su Mo suddenly mentioned praying mantises, but he didn’t interrupt.

Su Mo’s gaze swept across many bishops, saying, “You should all know that when you see a praying mantis in a room, the actual number of snakes in that room is probably a nest or even more.”

Hearing Su Mo’s words, some bishops with quick reactions changed their expressions. Other bishops also responded, their faces showing changes.

Cardinal Ferren spoke in a deep voice, “Count’s meaning is that there are more nobles colluding with demons than those we’ve exposed?”

Su Mo said, “Not only nobles. The demons are so rampant, and even Cardinal Ferren’s successor has been infiltrated, indicating that the Demon God’s infiltration into the Crescent Moon Kingdom is already very deep.”

Su Mo wasn’t wrong. The infiltration was indeed deep. As a Demon God, he had become the most trusted Holy Son of the Crescent Moon Goddess.

Hearing Su Mo’s words, a bishop who cooperated well said, “The Holy Son is right. Last time, when we executed those evil noble heirs, someone was inciting the wind and causing a fire behind the scenes, mobilizing millions of people in the capital. This indicates that the Demon God’s influence has not been completely eliminated!”

Another bishop quickly added, “Exactly, the Demon God’s infiltration is multifaceted, and ordinary demons are difficult to guard against. What about the Demon God?”

Soon, the bishops began to discuss with each other.

In their depiction, the entire Crescent Moon Kingdom seemed to have almost become the demons’ headquarters. Followers of the Demon God were everywhere, a tremendously serious situation. Every time a bishop spoke, Su Mo would give them a look of affirmation and appreciation. Encouraged by this, the bishop would become even more firm in their words.

“We must expose these people; otherwise, if this continues, the entire kingdom will be filled with followers of the Demon God in no time. We won’t be able to explain it to the Goddess!” a bishop exclaimed loudly.

“Yes, we must mobilize all our forces and expose them!” another bishop echoed, as if injected with chicken blood.

Watching the bishops getting more and more excited, Cardinal Ferren looked at Su Mo, requesting, “Holy Son, how about you take full responsibility for this matter?”

Seeing Su Mo hesitating, he showed a wry smile, “I’m old and not useful anymore. Let me handle such a big trouble, and I’ll definitely leave behind a mess. The Holy Son is decisive and the best choice to handle this matter.”

Su Mo hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Okay, I’ll take care of this matter.”

“Great!” Cardinal Ferren sighed in relief.

Under Su Mo’s guidance, a detailed action plan was quickly formulated. The plan was divided into several steps: first, mobilize the power of the Holy See to identify a list of suspicious individuals. Then, launch a large-scale arrest operation, escorting everyone to the temple headquarters.

Subsequently, interrogation by divine mages and mental magic users would take place to prevent wrongful accusations. This would be the largest-scale operation in the history of the Crescent Moon Holy See.

Once the plan was finalized, the Crescent Moon Holy See immediately went into full swing. At the same time, Crescent Moon Queen issued orders for local authorities to assist the Holy See’s actions.

Investigations were conducted in areas where demons appeared, and any suspicious individuals were promptly reported. To make this operation more realistic and prevent missing the last person colluding with demons, Su Mo did some work.

For the past few years, Su Mo had searched for thugs, rogues, bandits, and the like in the Crescent Moon Kingdom, providing them with substantial benefits to entice them into signing demon contracts. Additionally, relying on the Demon God’s intuition, Su Mo also found some other hidden agents left by different Demon Gods. These people were conveniently dealt with during this opportunity.

The Holy See’s actions were swift, with suspicious lists arriving every day. Su Mo, using his authority as the Holy Son, effortlessly added some private goods to these lists, including names of individuals suspected to be Protagonists. Since they would undergo interrogation by divine mages, there was no need to worry about innocent people being wrongly accused.

In this way, a covert operation had silently begun in the Crescent Moon Kingdom. The Protagonists in the Crescent Moon Kingdom were still unaware that a vast net had been laid out.

Three days into the operation, still in the investigation stage, the formal arrests were scheduled for two days later.

On this day, Su Mo received a message from Vivian. With two cat-eared girls, Vivian had finally arrived at the Savage Continent. After some time of observing, she found the goblin tribe. Vivian reported all the details.

“It should be a Lord flow Protagonist without a doubt,” Su Mo murmured.

“Vivian, try to see if you can take him down directly. If he has any strong cards, retreat first,” Su Mo advised. Although the Protagonists were currently in a weak position, some of them had powerful cards, especially the higher-level ones. In the World of the Gods, Vivian’s strength was equivalent to a Legendary Level, so dealing with ordinary Protagonists shouldn’t be a problem.

On the other side, upon receiving the message, Vivian restrained her aura and headed toward a camp. The camp was very well-organized, with numerous defensive structures. Inside the camp, many green-skinned goblins walked around.

Furthermore, one could see squads of goblin soldiers returning from battle, well-equipped and far surpassing the equipment of the orc tribe. After patiently waiting for a while, Vivian spotted a human standing in the middle of hundreds of goblins, reprimanding them.

“That should be him,” Vivian said, and with a swift movement, she flew towards him.

In the Savage Continent, her concerns were much less. Her demonic aura surged out, catching the goblins off guard. Before they could react, chaos had already engulfed them. The goblins turned their weapons on their comrades, killing them in a frenzy.
