Chapter 64

Yet in the blink of an eye, the little Count they hadn't thought much of—having only felt he was troublesome after some deductions—

had transformed into a powerful Demon God.

The very thing that had been their ultimate dream!

They had thought all roads led to Rome, but he was already standing in Rome!

At this moment, Su Mo was not flying in the sky; his actual position was still in front of them.

But in their eyes, Su Mo was already incomparably tall, as if he had reached the highest point of the world, looking down upon all living things with an indifferent gaze.

That was the very scene they had envisioned and been intoxicated by!

Yet now, they had become the objects being looked down upon!

They had become the common beings being looked down upon.

Even though they clearly felt they were standing at the same height, they had to look up to see him!

This feeling filled these protagonists with despair!

The gap was too vast!

They were still in the dust.

Yet he had already reached the heavens, plucking stars and seizing the moon, shining with boundless light!

Such a gap...

This... how could they even play?

Opposite them, Miles's expression changed drastically.

Originally, in Miles's view, Su Mo's greatest reliance was merely the Moon Goddess Queen.

Just a Count who had risen by eating soft rice.

Being the Queen's man sounded glorious, and he could borrow quite a bit of momentum from the Queen.

However, it could not be compared to a Duke who held power in his own hands!

Power in one's own hands was the real deal.

Such a Su Mo had become a thorn in their side, and the other Duke heirs were thinking of taking this opportunity to eliminate him.

It wasn't until Su Mo appeared and released a Sanctuary-level soul through a Bai Yin-grade ring.

That Miles began to look at him with new eyes.

This guy had instantly deduced that Su Mo was likely the "Phantom" villain who had completed the first kill.

To be able to complete the first kill, and to kill so many protagonists to upgrade the ring to Bai Yin-grade.

Such a Su Mo was definitely not simple!

Then, he felt a desire to "nurture talent."

A person with a low starting point who could kill his way to a Bai Yin-grade villain in just over ten days!

Such talent was rare in the world!

Having been the controller of a Fortune 500 company before transmigrating, Miles believed that in this world, no one could compare to his intelligence.

In his eyes, those so-called Legends and Sanctuary-level figures, no matter how strong their power, could not compare to him in wisdom and strategy.

Those of lower status labor with strength, those of middle status labor with spirit, and those of higher status labor with people.

In Miles's eyes, these powerhouses of this world were just fools who had cultivated themselves into stupidity.

Despite possessing powerful strength, they were limited by the inherent social system; it was a waste of their power.

Such a world was the stage for someone like him, who possessed both ambition and strength!

It was precisely because of this that this guy had planned this massive scheme to throw the Moon Capital into chaos!

If not for Su Mo, this guy's plan might very well have succeeded!

Think about it: if the Moon Goddess hadn't descended with a powerful combat-ready angel in advance.

Relying solely on the Moon Goddess Queen and that demigod, even with the cooperation of the temple, it would have been impossible to hold off the Nail Demon God for so long!

If Su Mo hadn't made the Moon Goddess vigilant, the Nail Demon God would likely have succeeded by now and left triumphantly!

This Miles was indeed a ruthless character, disregarding everything to achieve his goals, even daring to utilize a Demon God.

But Su Mo, possessing a Bai Yin-grade ring, made Miles look at him with new eyes.

He even felt a desire to "promote" him.

Such a Su Mo made Miles instantly lose interest in his other partners.

Originally, Miles thought Su Mo was sensible.

Yet he hadn't expected it was just his own wishful thinking.

Su Mo had never been within his logic from the beginning; all his layouts were laughable in Su Mo's eyes!

Su Mo was actually a Demon God!

Such a thing, even for Miles, who was calculating and had schemed his whole life, was completely unexpected.

His brain had completely frozen.

The oppressive force brought by the Demon God's aura made it difficult even to think!

Being in such close contact with a god, especially one who was an enemy, it was perfectly normal for an ordinary person to lose the ability to think.

Not becoming an idiot was already a blessing!

Miles struggled to turn his thoughts; he had vaguely realized...

This game of chess, with the Moon Capital as the board and everyone as pieces, although he had played it incomparably brilliantly...

But in Su Mo's hands, there was likely another game of chess with a scale ten thousand times larger than his!

That game was the real chess game.

So large that he could only catch a glimpse of a corner, yet could not see the whole picture!

All his layouts, all his schemes, had become small pieces in the other party's chess game!

Upon realizing this, a sense of unprecedented frustration welled up in Miles's heart!

Su Mo's strength in power only made him fearful, but it wouldn't make him feel frustrated.

This guy even dared to trade with Demon Gods and treat them as pieces; how could he feel frustrated just because the other party was strong?

However.

Upon realizing that his own grand layout had actually become a piece in Su Mo's chess game, Miles's sense of frustration was unprecedentedly intense!

So intense that he felt as if he had suddenly aged countless years!

"So... I was the piece all along..."

Miles revealed a bitter smile, and in the depths of his heart, a thick despair emerged!

It was a despair he wouldn't have felt even if he were facing another Demon God.

This was the deepest despair,

despair so deep that Miles felt that even if he replayed the game a thousand times, ten thousand times, he could not break this chess game!

Then, amidst such despair, his body quietly shattered!

At the same time.

The Sanctuary-level figure of the Miles family let out a roar of unwillingness, but it was of no use.

All his power had been completely locked, and his consciousness had already fallen.

The next second,

flames ignited on the body of this Sanctuary-level figure.

This old man, who had been at the Sanctuary level for many years and was the greatest reliance of the Miles family, just like that, turned to ash in the rising flames in an instant.

At the same time that Miles and this Sanctuary-level figure died,

behind Su Mo, the fourteen protagonists who had fallen into deep shock and felt the same thick despair also quietly turned into ashes!

Su Mo did not give them much time.

Nor was he too long-winded.

He didn't even need to say a single word.

With the power of a Demon God revealed, finishing off these protagonists all at once was the best choice!

After those protagonists turned to ash, their thoughts of despair and shock still lingered in the air,

and then were completely dispersed under Su Mo's Demon God aura!
