The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them - Chapter 139.2

She was not a self-centered person like Ophelia; Elvi was a dragon possessing powerful and extreme control abilities.

The term “war hyena,” if applied in this context, was indeed…

Reasonable.

But this dragon now deliberately put on a puzzled expression to confront Leia. “Since you know that I would control what others fear most, why would you think I wouldn’t use this trick on you?”

Leia fell silent.

Elvi couldn’t be bothered to continue talking with this pervert who, on the battlefield, always liked to let enemies bleed to death, and in private would fill pools with the blood of prisoners and bathe in them.

Neither of them were good people, and there was no need to hurt each other in this way.

It would only seem low-class.

“Then what do you want?” Leia suddenly asked aloud.

“I don’t want anything. On the contrary, what I most want to see now is…” Elvi smiled.

Su Li could see the gradual change in her smile; it wasn’t a sudden curl of the lips.

After several seconds of widening her smile, Elvi said with cold eyes, “What I most want to see now is the complete destruction of the water tribe.”

“No, you won’t,” Leia shook his head decisively.

“I have to thank you for reminding me what kind of person you are in war,” Leia said.

The tense atmosphere that should have arisen between them was easily diffused by the mermaid ruler.

Perhaps this was the mental flexibility that all those in weak positions needed to possess.

Leia said, “The situation I least want to see is you allying with the beast tribe and directly launching a war of annihilation against the water tribe.”

“But even though you’re an extreme control freak, you absolutely would not ally with the beast tribe. Even if you’re accustomed to controlling your opponent’s weaknesses, this control method is only the most habitual way of fighting for a war hyena.”

Dragons were rare.

The winged tribe might be numerous, but Elvi had never been the king of the winged tribe.

If Elvi wanted to lead her kind into battle, she would have to consider their small numbers.

This habitual method of controlling enemies was Elvi’s attempt to achieve maximum results with minimal losses…

Allying with the beast tribe might align with Elvi’s habit of controlling enemies, but it lacked Elvi’s nature of protecting her own kind.

Leia thought he had guessed the correct answer. After explaining the above thoughts, he added, “So, even if you don’t ally with the water tribe, you definitely won’t ally with the beast tribe.”

Allying with the water tribe could target the beast tribe together. If she allied with the beast tribe, after the water tribe collapsed, the first to suffer would be Elvi, who would have “invited the tiger into her home.”

This must be the correct answer!

While Leia was thinking this, Su Li couldn’t help but show a pitying look.

Sure enough, Elvi laughed.

It was a mocking, wild laugh.

“I would protect my own kind?” Elvi casually wiped the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes. “That’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard!”

“You don’t think I would be someone who sincerely protects my own kind, do you?”

“If you really think so, then you must be the world’s most hilarious joke.” Elvi stared intently at Leia.

Leia’s expression became very unpleasant.

Elvi said without concern, “For all transformed dragons, we have always been competitors among ourselves.”

One hundred percent elemental affinity gave only a fifty percent survival rate when being transformed into a monster beast. Those with less than one hundred percent affinity would die even more miserably.

In such cases, what dragons did and what the Pope of Light did might differ in details, but there was no difference in the overall concept.

Increase elemental affinity, increase survival rate.

The Pope of Light hadn’t managed to increase it; he could only transfer Ophelia’s one hundred percent elemental affinity to Xiao Zuo.

But dragons had achieved the enhancement of elemental affinity.

Like Ophelia and Xiao Zuo, increasing elemental affinity required the same bloodline between parties.

Therefore, the first thing all those who awakened dragon bloodlines would do was to list all awakened individuals from the same batch as opponents, as the foundation for their own survival.

To increase one’s elemental affinity to one hundred percent, one needed to completely drain one to three dragon bloodline awakeners.

Elvi wasn’t an active extractor; she was a stepping stone targeted by others.

Who knows what that extractor was thinking, or perhaps wanting to give themselves a label of kindness, so they chose to extract elemental affinity from six people who had awakened dragon bloodlines.

This allowed those being extracted from to live stably in the short term without being completely drained, but greatly reduced the survival rate of Elvi and others after severing human genes and blood transfusion.

Elemental affinity below 50% meant a survival rate of less than one in ten thousand during the bloodline transformation process.

Elvi had survived, but the person who had increased their own survival rate to one-half had died.

And when the blood exchange took place, few dragons thought Elvi would survive, and this indifference provided Elvi with an opportunity to escape to human society.

When weak, enemies were everywhere; after the blood exchange, Elvi wasn’t much stronger initially.

Happiness was a deception, and the perception of still being human was merely a delusion.

Elvi eventually chose to kill the entire family of the nobles who had deceived her, caused havoc in the city where the noble family resided, and then went to the monster beast forest.

Human society couldn’t accommodate her, so she went to the monster beast society that had somewhat expected her to survive.

Elvi needed a reason to live.

And her reason for living was to kill all transformed dragons who envied her being able to live cleanly.

All who wanted her dead were already dead, and all who hoped she would live…

Except for Na’an, there probably weren’t any left?

Even Na’an had died a year ago.

What did Elvi care about?

The only thing she cared about was staying alive.

She was a dragon living just for the sake of living.

Thus, all of Leia’s self-righteous speculation naturally became the most laughable joke to Elvi Bessemer.

“I don’t care about the life or death of any dragon other than myself,” Elvi said.

Leia suddenly didn’t know how to negotiate cooperation with Elvi.

He didn’t understand his opponent of many years well enough.

Or rather, if Elvi hadn’t explained it actively, no monster beast would have thought she was a dragon living purely for the sake of living.

“Enough of this,” Su Li, who had been watching the whole show, interrupted Leia’s brainstorming.

“Instead of just considering each other, why not consider humans as a third party, or rather, a fourth party?”

The water tribe wanted to resist the beast tribe. Elvi wanted to take the Raven away for her own sake.

Now that Leia knew Elvi didn’t care about her own kind, all Leia needed to do was leak the dragon’s thoughts to her kind, and the Raven’s life would be in danger.

If you don’t care about our life or death, why should we care if you go insane?

The mermaid ruler didn’t even need to act against Elvi now to cause big trouble for the Raven, who were currently weak and belonged to the concept of “a genius who dies prematurely is not a genius.”

The dragon would certainly protect the Raven, but opposite to madness was rationality.

Su Li could define monster beasts that would fall into a state of madness with the madness disease because monster beasts who recognized themselves were inherently rational and clear-minded.

Therefore, Elvi, who had recognized the significance of Na’an to herself, was in a state of rationality and clarity. She absolutely would not face another episode of madness disease that would lead to suicide in the short term.

She could even allow the Raven to die and patiently wait for the next natural monster beast to appear.

And she could use the reason of the Raven’s death to openly ally with the beast tribe and actively attack the water tribe.

The information Leia obtained was too fragmentary.

The significance of Na’an to Elvi hadn’t been explained, so Leia, certain that Elvi wouldn’t ally with him and might even turn to the enemy, would definitely make things difficult for her.

This way of making things difficult for Elvi would be killing the Raven, leaving Elvi’s madness disease incurable.

Su Li now really wanted to curse.

What was the use of predicting the predictions of the two monster beasts in advance?

Even if he stopped their brainstorming, Su Li would at least need to offer a new possibility that would allow both sides to achieve their goals.

In other words, he would have to circle back to the alliance between the water tribe and the winged tribe.

Humans simply didn’t have the strength to step onto the chessboard.

Even if Su Li directly placed humans as a third or fourth party, trying to put them on the table, it actually wouldn’t be of much use.

“What use can humans be?” Elvi and Leia asked in unison.

But this question clearly deepened Su Li’s desire to curse.

He couldn’t help but press his temple and then showed a fake smile, saying, “Humans can help you see yourselves more clearly.”

Leia finally decided to trust Su Li, who had stripped him bare in just a few exchanges, and said, “In what way?”

“For example, the alliance between the water tribe and the winged tribe is not something Elvi alone can decide.”

Leia was stunned, but Elvi clicked her tongue.

Before the former could react, the latter had already said to Su Li, “You really are constantly deepening my desire to kill you.”

Su Li’s fake smile became even more artificial. “Well, that’s my honor.”

During this time, Leia had also reacted, widening his eyes and involuntarily raising his voice. “Elvi was misleading me?!”

“What did you think?” Su Li really wanted to complain.

Even if he didn’t understand what the title “dragon lady” represented, he knew the four words “dragon lady” had a mocking connotation for Elvi.

In this situation, Leia kept using these four words to address her…

Didn’t he find it annoying?

Leia himself had said that Elvi was someone who easily targeted people’s weaknesses. How did he not realize that this dragon had targeted early on what Leia feared most: seeing the water tribe and winged tribe unable to ally, or even worse, the winged tribe and beast tribe joining forces to attack the water tribe.

Elvi had previously used the setting of being a love-brain from who knows how many hundreds of years ago to mislead Su Li. This time she used a similarly ancient setting to mislead Leia, which was only too habitual.

Elvi was not the king of the winged tribe; where would she get the authority to decide on an alliance between the water tribe and the winged tribe?

Yet Leia was tricked by Elvi to not only believe it but even prepared for mutual destruction…

Su Li really wanted to grab Leia’s shoulders, shake him vigorously, and say, “Could you please not just eat your intelligence away?”

Then Su Li noticed the confusion of the other humans.

What misdirection? Misleading about what?

What had happened?

Weren’t we just watching the show?

Everyone had this expression.

Su Li: …F*** [a kind of plant].

The merman and the dragon wanted to fight again.

Su Li politely and courteously sent the two human-formed disasters to the side of the lake that had already been fought into existence.

And he was generally certain that an alliance between the winged tribe and the water tribe was now inevitable.

Now he had to tidy up and explain to the group at his home who seemed as if their brains had really been eaten by zombies.

Only after everyone’s expression changed from complete confusion to sudden understanding did Su Li, with a dry mouth and tongue, say, “Only at times like this do I feel grateful that you understand the concept of survival of the fittest well enough.”

“I understand that,” Roy raised his hand. “If Elvi were of strength equal to ours, or one level higher than us, that fellow Eg would have fought with her the moment she first said she wanted to kill the little master.”

Euphia complained, “You make it sound like Egbert judges people by their status.”

“Clearly none of us had the ability to resist when the dragon lady said she wanted to kill Su Li.”

The only thing they could be certain of was the same as Su Li’s mentality.

–As long as there was no immediate death, there was still a chance for redemption.

But the most frightening thing wasn’t that they had the ability to redeem themselves, but that Su Li’s survival could only rely on saving himself.

Egbert thought the same, and such thinking wasn’t shameful. He could even use this explanation to refute Roy’s somewhat derogatory words.

But he didn’t.

He only hung his head, concealing the pain he didn’t want others to see, and said softly, “I’m very sorry I couldn’t even defend Lord Su Li’s dignity.”

With these words, the previously lighter atmosphere froze again.

Su Li sighed and said, “In this garbage world, just staying alive is difficult enough.”

What dignity could they worry about?

The information revealed by the two human-formed monster beasts was too insane.

Elvi’s not-low intelligence, Leia’s manipulation of the water tribe king, the internal strife of the water tribe, the current situation of beast tribe intervention…

To talk about human dignity in such an environment?

Ah…

Su Li felt that learning from those monster beasts whose madness disease had flared up, who uncontrollably walked towards death, would be more practical.

After sighing, Su Li smiled again and told Egbert, “Maybe it’s like this now, but you guys don’t plan to stay this way forever, right?”

The few people in the room stiffened their bodies one after another.

How to enhance power?

Before the arrival of the human-formed monster beasts, Su Li might still have been able to guide the development direction of power to make all power users become LV.1 like himself, and engage in “chicken pecking.”

But now it was different.

Neither humans nor monster beasts would give Castor enough time to keep setting his top-ranked research as making alchemy tools that restricted elements.

Now everyone wanted more tangible power that could be controlled by themselves.

Su Li wasn’t so thorough as to understand the mindsets of the dragon and the merman but ignore the people around him.

“Go find Castor,” Su Li curved his eyes.

“We can’t keep spending money on research without producing any results.”

As soon as these words fell, the others began to prepare.

Until Su Li suddenly heard a voice that didn’t belong to a young person.

A person wearing a black robe, whom Su Li had not yet met face-to-face, was saying, “May I join you?”

Su Li: ???

Who are you?

Lan Zhe coughed once and introduced the identity of the black-robed person.

Su Li: …………

“So why is the Dark Pope at our home?”

“That question might be better directed to Dean Asa,” the Dark Pope’s smile carried a strange kind of benevolence.

Su Li resolutely gave up pursuing this question further.

He chose to act as if the small building had gained another human resident, and then went together to Castor’s research site.

But not long after arriving, the pale-faced researcher rushed to Su Li with an expression of excessive excitement.

Castor looked at the youth standing there with a questioning expression, no longer concealing his uncontrollable excitement, and blurted out…

“You might be able to cultivate elemental power too.”
