Chapter 75

Seeing that of the twenty or so protagonists in the Royal City before, only two were left, this Sweeping Monk protagonist also couldn't sit still.

Although he felt Su Mo wouldn't dare to touch him here.

But what if?

He didn't dare to bet.

He didn't dare to flee either.

"Must improve my strength, extract at all costs!"

The Sweeping Monk protagonist made a decision.

Last time, taking advantage of the old man guarding the door going out to fight, he went to the second floor and extracted quite a few benefits.

His strength was already very formidable.

But compared to the Count of Moshilong, it was far from enough.

"That book... should I extract it?"

There was a hint of hesitation on the Sweeping Monk protagonist's face.

He had discovered an ancient book on a bookshelf that contained a massive amount of divine energy, but...

That divine energy didn't seem to belong to the Heavenly Realm, but to a Demon God.

Although it was a Demon God's, with his golden finger, once extracted, it could also be turned into his own use.

It also wouldn't leave any hidden dangers.

But his hesitation lay right there; in the Holy See, what if he caused some commotion while extracting it?

That would be too dangerous.

That divine energy was currently sealed by a magic circle existing on the pages of that ancient book.

He had a certain degree of confidence in extracting it.

Once successful, his strength would greatly advance.

"Try it!"

Ultimately, seeing protagonists dying one by one, this Sweeping Monk protagonist decided to take the risk and try.

He glanced outside, then walked to that bookshelf, took the book down, and carefully walked to the very back.

He pretended to read it.

He even casually set up a very small magic circle to shroud the book.

Then, he loaded his golden finger and began the extraction.

To his surprise, his extraction was quite smooth.

"So smooth!"

This Sweeping Monk protagonist smiled.

It was too smooth; his golden finger was indeed powerful.

The divine energy entered the golden finger and was quickly converted into his own power, improving his strength.

This conversion still needed some time for the energy in his body to completely become his own.

If a powerhouse came in now, they would notice the abnormality in his body.

That's why it was quite risky.

However, according to his understanding, basically no one would come to the library at this time, and the old man wouldn't come in.

So, as long as he was careful, it was completely feasible.

Before long, more than half had been converted.

Seeing it was about to be finished.

At this moment, an unexpected change occurred.

The remaining divine energy suddenly exploded.

This divine energy belonged to a Demon God, and once it exploded, demonic energy instantly filled the entire library.

Immediately following, the magic restrictions inside the library were triggered.

The alarm sounded loudly!

"Oh no!"

The Sweeping Monk protagonist's expression changed drastically.

He never expected it would lead to such consequences.

Vaguely... he suddenly remembered... when the Count of Moshilong came to the library, while seemingly casually looking for books, he seemed... to have touched this book!

"Could this also be his doing?"

The Sweeping Monk protagonist thought of this point.

If this was the Count of Moshilong's doing, did the other party calculate that he would touch this book so early?

Where did the divine energy inside come from?

Although he felt it unlikely, the Sweeping Monk protagonist inexplicably felt...

He had 100% walked into a trap that Su Mo had laid for him long ago!

"Bold, how dare you use demonic power in the library!"

In the library, several powerhouses had already surrounded him; these powerhouses saw what had happened at a glance.

Although they didn't know about his golden finger, he hadn't completely digested that divine energy in his body!

"It's over!"

The Sweeping Monk protagonist was in despair!

"Now there's only one protagonist left in the Royal City."

"Too scary, luckily I didn't go to the Royal City."

"...."

In the New Moon Kingdom's protagonist group, seeing the message sent by the Sweeping Monk protagonist, the other protagonists were also trembling.

In this protagonist group, the number of people had been rising before.

But in these two or three days, it had plummeted by nearly a dozen.

The grand occasion of protagonists gathering in the Royal City was no more; they had all been handled by Su Mo alone.

Some protagonists who had originally planned to go to the Royal City also dismissed the idea and prepared to continue developing in other places.

Before long, Su Mo met the Sweeping Monk protagonist in the Inquisition.

He was locked in a cell, his whole body locked by enchanted chains.

"You won."

Seeing Su Mo walk in, the Sweeping Monk protagonist said in despair.

Seeing Su Mo come over so quickly, he was already certain.

That book was definitely Su Mo's doing.

"However, I don't understand why you were so sure I would use that book? You didn't even know what my golden finger was!"

The Sweeping Monk protagonist Wu Fan stared fixedly at Su Mo, asking.

In his gaze, there was a final stubbornness!

He wasn't convinced!

Su Mo waved his hand, and outside, the other clergy members left.

Then Su Mo snapped his fingers, and a simple isolation magic circle appeared.

The Sweeping Monk protagonist's eyes shrank.

Su Mo's move... showed an extremely high level of magic attainment!

Even in terms of raw strength, Su Mo had already far surpassed him!

"Is there anything else you want to know? I'll tell you all at once."

Su Mo said indifferently.

The Sweeping Monk protagonist's eyes were bloodshot, and he said: "Then tell me, where did that trace of divine energy come from? Let me die knowing! I promise you, I won't reveal your secret in the protagonist group!"

He couldn't understand.

Why would a book in the Holy See's library, which housed ancient magic books, contain divine energy originating from a Demon God?

The Holy See couldn't possibly not check these books!

At the time, because protagonists were dying one after another, he was stimulated and didn't consider that much.

But after being locked here, since he was already at a dead end, after calming down, the Sweeping Monk protagonist felt more and more that something was wrong.

The more he thought, the more he felt that all of this was Su Mo's planning.

But he wasn't convinced; why was Su Mo so sure he would use that book?

Su Mo didn't even know what his golden finger was.

What he was even more puzzled about was why Su Mo could obtain divine energy originating from a Demon God!

Even the Holy See couldn't get that kind of divine energy!

Su Mo looked at the Sweeping Monk protagonist's red eyes, then snapped his fingers again.

Another layer was added to the magic circle in the dungeon.

"Fine, I'll let you die knowing."

After Su Mo finished speaking, he raised his finger.

On his finger appeared a trace of... divine power aura!

This trace of divine power aura was very weak, because if it were any stronger, the two layers of magic circles wouldn't be able to hide the commotion.

But it was enough for the Sweeping Monk protagonist to notice.

Feeling that divine power aura, a bolt of lightning struck the Sweeping Monk protagonist's mind.

"You are... him!"

His pupils dilated sharply.

This trace of divine power aura was so similar to the other Demon God that appeared in the Temple Square!

Linking it to all the things he couldn't understand.

He understood instantly, thinking of that shocking possibility!

His opponent was actually a Demon God!

And a Demon God who had infiltrated the human world!

No wonder those fourteen protagonists died so strangely!

Without even sending out a single message!

No wonder the Silver-tier arch-villain Miles and his family's Sanctuary couldn't do anything to Su Mo!

And no wonder, in this grand play in the Royal City, all protagonists and villains were defeated, and only Su Mo obtained the biggest benefits!

"Hahahahaha~"

The Sweeping Monk protagonist was truly in despair now!

There was actually a villain who was a Demon God,

And for some reason, this Demon God had actually bypassed the initial investigation!

How is a protagonist supposed to play this?

However, this had nothing to do with him anymore; he was already out!

"You don't really keep your word..."

Then, he heard Su Mo's final voice.

His body stiffened!

Because he was preparing to spread this news, but he had only managed to utter three words before he was noticed.

Then, he lost all consciousness.

The door to the Inquisition closed.

With Su Mo's current status, personally resolving a prisoner who used demonic energy didn't count for much.

After resolving the Sweeping Monk protagonist.

Su Mo left the Holy See.

"Here you go, the person is inside."

On a street in the Royal City, a little loli, only about 1.5 meters tall and looking incredibly petite, appeared.

She threw a space bag to Su Mo.

Su Mo had just taken the space bag when he saw this little loli had already turned around.

"Not staying for a bit before leaving?"

Su Mo said.

"No, I don't dare to stay with you for too long, otherwise I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you. Falling in love is something to talk about after I become a Sword Saint."

The little loli left without looking back.

Su Mo watched her disappear, took the space bag, and returned to his residence.

Inside the space bag were exactly the two protagonists he had raised fat.

One check-in protagonist.

One protagonist with a divine talent.

Both had been raised to Silver-tier.

At this moment, these two protagonists were still in a state of unconsciousness.

After setting up a magic circle, Su Mo took action directly and resolved these two protagonists.

"Three Silver-tier."

Su Mo whispered.

The Sweeping Monk protagonist was indeed not simple; he was also a Silver-tier protagonist.

Looking at it this way, besides these two protagonists Su Mo raised fat, the New Moon Royal City should have originally had three Silver-tier ones.

One Sweeping Monk protagonist, one taken as a disciple by the Sanctuary, and another one, who should be that Lance.

Lance had a certain possibility of being a Gold-tier protagonist, but Su Mo felt the possibility wasn't great.

After resolving a Silver-tier protagonist, there were 500 villain points and 20 luck points.

After resolving three Silver-tier protagonists, Su Mo obtained 1500 villain points, and his luck also increased by over a hundred points...

Three protagonists, three different golden fingers.

One Silver-tier divine talent.

One Silver-tier check-in system.

One Silver-tier extraction system.

These three golden fingers were all not bad; incorporating them all would require 1500 villain points, exactly the villain points from killing the three protagonists.

Su Mo was hesitating whether to get a few golden fingers first or save up to upgrade to a Gold-tier golden finger first.

He glanced at the villain panel; on the villain panel, there was still a pile of golden fingers.

"The pay-to-win system has refreshed."

At this moment, Su Mo noticed that the items in the pay-to-win system had all refreshed again.

He opened the pay-to-win system, then took out a large amount of gold coins and started sweeping the goods.

Ten-plus minutes later, the pay-to-win system was empty again.

Su Mo pondered for a moment and spent 100 villain points to incorporate the other pay-to-win system as well.

Then, he started merging.

After the two pay-to-win systems merged, Su Mo saw that the villain points needed for the pay-to-win system to upgrade to Silver-tier were reduced by half.

The new pay-to-win system became Bronze-tier+.

"Refreshed again?"
