Chapter 51-1 |
Demon God!
These two words similarly split open the brains of the other Protagonists. It was like a series of exploding thunder in their minds, making them dizzy and numb. Their minds trembled under the impact of Su Mo's incredibly terrifying Demon God aura at close range.
Each Protagonist's brain almost froze under the shock. The operation of their thoughts became sluggish. Even their thinking slowed down, as if time had solidified, leaving only a shock and fear that couldn't be expressed in words!
"How is this possible!" In the forefront, the Protagonist of the ring type had an incredulous expression on his face! Behind him, the other Protagonists were also greatly shocked one by one!
Count of Moshi Territory… turned out to be a Demon God!
What the heck… It's like thinking you have a firecracker, and then it turns out to be a nuclear bomb going off – completely outrageous! It's like a spectacle beyond the scope of the world! Even witnessing it with their own eyes, each of these Protagonists was utterly stunned!
Some Protagonists were already beginning to question the meaning of life.
In the crowd, Protagonists Li Fei and Han Yu, both members of the palace guards, had their eyes nearly popping out! Han Yu had long felt that Su Mo was not as simple as he appeared on the surface. But, he never expected that Su Mo's complexity was this mind-boggling!
The other side of Su Mo turned out to be so terrifying! Terrifying to the point of despair!
Not to mention a Demon God, but now, before the Holy Level, they all seemed as weak as ants! A Holy Level could easily crush them with a stomp!
It could be said that if Myles wasn't afraid of implicating himself, in the past, even forcibly using the Holy Level to kill some Protagonists was feasible. However, in doing so, their family would inevitably offend the Queen and the Holy See.
In the future, they will gradually lose influence in the Crescent Moon Kingdom. This is something that Myles, who fancies himself as the "master strategist," manipulating everything, cannot tolerate.
The Holy Level is terrifying to these Protagonists, like an insurmountable mountain. Not to mention, a Demon God! In front of a Demon God, a Holy Level is no different from an ant! The Demon God can easily crush the Holy Level with a stomp.
Even though the Demon God's power in the World of the Gods is suppressed to a Pseudo God, that's not something a Holy Level can fathom!
"How is this possible…" These were the only words filling Li Fei's mind. He couldn't believe his eyes. The other twelve Protagonists were equally astonished. Their eyes widened, filled with disbelief, and their blood froze.
Their emotions were equally complex. After witnessing the miracles of the Crescent Moon Goddess before, they were all filled with fervor and ambition. Full of aspirations! They longed for and admired the power of the Gods!
Like being injected with adrenaline, each of them eagerly looked forward to ascending the divine throne, becoming the Supreme God. For them, as long as they didn't die, becoming a God was only a matter of time. With various golden fingers, they believed every path led to Rome!
However, in the blink of an eye, what they previously didn't take seriously, the troublesome little count after some speculation turned into an extremely powerful Demon God. A dream that was once their ultimate goal! They thought all paths led to Rome, but the other party was already standing in Rome!
At this moment, Su Mo did not fly into the sky; his actual position was still in front of them. However, in their eyes, Su Mo appeared immensely tall, as if at the highest point in the world, looking down on all living beings with indifferent eyes.
It was the scene they had fantasized and indulged in! But now, they became the ones looked down upon. Even though they felt they were on the same level, they had to look up to see each other! This feeling plunged these Protagonists into despair.
The gap was too wide!
They were still in the dust, while the other party was already in the sky, picking stars and moons, radiating a brilliant light! With such a gap… how could they continue to play?
Facing them, there was also a great change in Myles' expression. Originally, in Myles' eyes, Su Mo's greatest reliance was just the Crescent Moon Queen. A count who relied on free meals to rise to power.
The Queen's man sounded honorable and could gain a lot of power from the Queen. However, it was far from comparable to a Duke who held power in his own hands. Su Mo, in this way, became a thorn in their eyes, and other Duke heirs were thinking of taking the opportunity to get rid of Su Mo.
It wasn't until Su Mo appeared, releasing the Holy Level soul through the silver ring, that Myles began to take notice. This guy instantly speculated that Su Mo was most likely the Villain "Shadow" who achieved the first kill. To achieve the first kill and kill so many Protagonists, raising the ring to silver, Su Mo was definitely not simple! Then, Myles was moved by the "love for talent."
A person with humble beginnings managed to forcefully rise to the level of a Silver Level Villain in just over ten days. Such talent is truly rare!
In his previous life, Myles was the controller of a Fortune 500 listed company. He believed that in this world, no one could match his intelligence. In his view, no matter how powerful the Legendary and Holy Levels were, they can not compare to him in wit and strategy. The lower labor, the middle exhausts the mind, and the upper Gods tire the people out.
In Myles' eyes, these strong individuals in this world were just a bunch of fools consumed by their cultivation. Despite wielding immense power, they were restricted by the inherent societal system, wasting the potential of their strength.
This world was the stage for people like Myles, ambitious and powerful. It was because of this that he devised an elaborate plan to disrupt the entire Crescent Moon Kingdom! If not for Su Mo, his plan might have succeeded!
Just think, if the Crescent Moon Goddess hadn't arrived early with a powerful angel in tow. With just the Crescent Moon Queen and that Demi God, even with the cooperation of the temple, holding off the Long Nail Demon God for so long would have been impossible!
If not for Su Mo making the Crescent Moon Goddess vigilant, the Long Nail Demon God would probably have succeeded by now and left!
Myles was indeed a cunning character, willing to use even a Demon God to achieve his goals. However, Su Mo, with the Silver Ring, made Myles take notice. He even felt a sense of "mentoring" towards Su Mo. Such a Su Mo made Myles instantly look down on other potential partners.
Initially, Myles thought Su Mo was sensible. But he never realized it was just his self-righteousness. From start to finish, Su Mo was not within his logical reasoning. Everything Myles planned seemed ridiculous to Su Mo!
Su Mo turned out to be a Demon God!
Even Myles, a seasoned schemer who had calculated his entire life, had never expected this. His mind completely froze. The terrifying oppression brought by the aura of a Demon God made even thinking difficult!
Such close contact with a God, especially an enemy God, would cause ordinary people to lose their ability to think; not becoming a complete idiot would be a relief!
Myles struggled to turn his thoughts. He had vaguely realized that this chess game, with the entire Crescent Moon Kingdom as the chessboard and everyone as pieces, though he played brilliantly… Su Mo might have another game that was a thousand times bigger than his!
That game was the real game. Even with his current stature, Myles could only glimpse a corner, unable to see the whole picture! All his layouts, all his planning, had become nothing more than a tiny piece on Su Mo's chessboard!
When he realized this, Myles felt an unprecedented sense of defeat! Su Mo's strength alone made him apprehensive, but it wouldn't cause him to feel defeated. This guy dared to trade with a Demon God, treating the Demon God as a pawn; how could Myles be defeated by the opponent's strength alone?
However, realizing that his grand layout had become a piece on Su Mo's chessboard, Myles felt an intense defeat, stronger than ever before! So strong that he seemed to age countless years in an instant!
"So… am I the pawn?"
Myles revealed a bitter smile, and in his heart, a thick sense of despair emerged. It was a despair he wouldn't feel even if facing another Demon God. It was the deepest despair, so profound that Myles felt even if he replayed a thousand or ten thousand times, he wouldn't be able to break this chess game!
Then, in this despair, his body quietly shattered!
