The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them - Chapter 145

That puzzling question ultimately received only an even more puzzling smile as its answer.

Before leaving the small building, everyone gathered together one last time.

The purpose of this meeting was to discuss who would be most suitable to accompany Su Li into the monster beast society.

The default member who would go, although not immediately following Su Li, was Cyril.

The puppy-eyed young man, with an attitude that mixed sincerity and misdirection, had successfully persuaded the dragon lady to enhance his physical body.

When he once again misled the dragon, making Elvi believe that Cyril would integrate his enhanced physical strength, Cyril went to find Castor.

However, to successfully help Cyril achieve a shortcut across his path would take at least a month.

He wouldn’t be able to leave with Su Li in time.

But when Cyril successfully balanced the elements within his body with his physical strength, his combat ability would directly demonstrate exponentially enhanced results.

Of course, that level of strength might not compare to dragon species like Elvi who could transform into a dragon at will, but it would definitely be at a power level that humans could only dream of attaining.

Therefore, this one-month period was essential.

The choice Cyril could make afterward was to enter the monster beast society after his power increase was successful, to search for Su Li.

Since he wouldn’t be able to leave for at least a month, everyone now needed to discuss who would accompany Su Li immediately.

Egbert clenched his fist and said, “I want to go.”

As soon as he spoke, the others exchanged glances.

Roy was the first to analyze what effects Egbert’s presence might bring.

“Egbert can certainly go. His strength is currently among the strongest of us. Most importantly, he has truly experienced those creatures’ combat power.”

Roy was referring to the battle between Elvi, Leia, and Bartholomew.

Not only had Egbert witnessed everything with his own eyes, but he had also specifically sought out Elvi for a beating beforehand.

With a clear concept of monster beasts’ power level, Egbert would undoubtedly unleash unimaginable strength in a crisis…

Even if the ultimate goal was just to escape with Su Li.

In this regard, Egbert naturally had an advantage, and secondly…

They wouldn’t be able to stop him anyway!

So the question of whether Egbert should follow Su Li was quickly dropped, everyone giving up quickly.

The next person to express interest in accompanying Su Li was Lan Zhe.

Lan Zhe stated, “If I don’t go and only Eg goes alone, Su Li will likely be poisoned to death sooner or later.”

This was quite a fatal topic, in the physical sense.

So no one objected to Lan Zhe’s desire to go.

The third to bring it up was Roy.

He first mumbled about the others’ plans that they were hiding from Su Li, then seriously tapped on the table and declared, “The little master’s identity is extraordinary.” Roy gave a knowing look that everyone else understood, then continued, “If he’s only accompanied by two people, no monster beast would believe he truly represents… those…”

The result of Roy’s deliberate vagueness was that others knew he was using this as an excuse, but they truly couldn’t stop him from going.

As for the others? They all chose to decline.

Euphia exhaled a long breath and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to go with Su Li, but I currently need to handle Alliance affairs and the information cooperation with Castor.”

Mark nodded and said, “I won’t go either. Among humans, my strength isn’t too bad, but compared to monster beasts, it’s insufficient. To them, I might just be the difference between an ant and a ladybug under their claws.”

The Lion’s Club leader expressed that he needed to assist with Euphia’s plans; Dean Asa, who had also gotten involved, smiled and said something about his students becoming the first batch of cooperation partners, since they were young and didn’t have as many complicated thoughts as adults.

While Su Li was completely confused, the Dark Pope quickly said, “So this time, Egbert, Lan Zhe, and Roy will accompany Su Li. In a month, Cyril and Julius will unite and enter together a second time.”

After confirming this point, Dean Asa, who had almost revealed something, was directly pulled out of the small building by the Dark Pope.

Before Su Li could react, those who had decided not to go instantly scattered.

Outside the small building, the Dark Pope chuckled at Dean Asa. His aged voice somehow carried a deep resonance as he said quietly, “Some things are still best not told to Su Li for now.”

“Besides, I thought that compared to me who has only met him for a few days, you who have spent much more time with him should have discovered that he’s the type of person who has no desire for external things.”

Such people were fine in every way, except they never felt they deserved any so-called rewards.

If they revealed what they wanted to do now, Su Li would only try to stop them.

He would feel there was absolutely no need for others to get involved in what he wanted to do.

What Su Li wanted was to live an ordinary retirement in the future, but other humans might still be fantasizing about transforming into monster beasts and becoming immortal.

Humans, after all.

No one inside could hear the conversation outside. After being confused for a while, Su Li gave up pondering those ambiguous, enigmatic topics.

He stroked the feathers of the raven that seemed bound to him, saying softly, “I feel like everyone is hiding something bad from me. But my intuition tells me that these ‘bad things’ aren’t bad in the literal sense, but rather in a more complex sensory way.”

As he spoke, Su Li’s right eyelid twitched slightly a few times.

After pondering whether a twitching right eye or left eye meant fortune, Su Li decided to find Lan Zhe to examine his eyes.

The raven perched on his head called out emotionlessly, “Gaha——“

……

…………

On the back of the raven that had transformed into its truly gigantic form.

Leia and Su Li were chatting casually.

“So you’re saying that among the three major powers in monster beast society, although the Beast Tribe appears to be the strongest on the surface, the Winged Tribe might actually be the strongest in reality?” Su Li sat on the raven’s back, his right hand resting on his bent right knee, naturally hanging.

“Of course,” Leia, still bound up like a rice dumpling, replied. “After all, those who normally can’t fly have no way to defend against aerial attacks.”

“Then as someone with flying water tribe subordinates, you can’t resist either?” Su Li asked further.

“Rather than resistance, Water Tribe and Winged Tribe normally wouldn’t fight in the first place.” Leia struggled to move his tightly bound body. “The greatest advantage of aquatic monster beasts is that we who live in water naturally possess water as a unique survival domain.”

“Even a fire dragon using all its strength to breathe dragon fire onto the ocean would only create insignificant amounts of steam.”

Su Li had mixed feelings about this.

“I suddenly understand why you’re the ruler of the Water Tribe.”

After all, he could only make waves in his own circle.

Leia looked at Su Li suspiciously. “I feel like there’s some connotation in your words that I don’t want to understand.”

As he spoke, the raven’s flapping wings had already passed over the vast forests that gradually changed from frost-white to emerald green.

Earlier, after determining who would accompany Su Li, Elvi refused to continue wasting time with them. Su Li hadn’t even eaten lunch before being taken away.

Given that the dragon couldn’t accept having others on her back, the current situation was the raven carrying a group of people, and oh, one rice-dumpling-shaped mermaid.

The scenery from high above was extremely magnificent, whether it was the seemingly close blue sky or the endless earth below.

These sights could be seen before his transmigration too, but compared to views from an airplane, seeing the scenery this way was more majestic and spectacular.

When Su Li grew tired of extracting information from Leia, he shifted his attention entirely to the scenery.

That said, while the scenery was beautiful, after looking at it continuously for several hours, one inevitably began to feel numb.

“Sir Leia,” Su Li called expressionlessly.

“Hmm?” Leia tilted her head to look at him.

“How much longer until we enter monster beast society?” Su Li stared at the seemingly endless plains, suddenly feeling that a month later, Cyril and Julius might not be able to find him.

Unless Julius’s key conclusion actually meant that his talent could serve as a key to open a transmission channel.

“When will we arrive?” Leia repeated, then chuckled, “Probably in another two or three days.”

Su Li was shocked.

What surprised him wasn’t the distance between humans and monster beasts, but the vastness of this world.

Amikbi had fourteen cities besides the capital, and while the city areas couldn’t compare to modern metropolises, the national territory could still be compared to small countries in modern society.

Given that the raven’s flying speed was clearly no slower than an airplane, yet it would take several days and nights to reach monster beast society from human society…

This was equivalent to this world, or rather, this planet being at least two or three times larger than Earth, yet the sun was still that same sun, and the moon was likewise the same…

Su Li said in a dejected tone, “Suddenly I feel like I should have majored in astronomy.”

Leia didn’t understand what this meant, he only said, “If it were just that raven alone, the dragon would probably take only a few hours.”

“If you think the time is too long, perhaps you should question whether you’re too weak,” Leia was somewhat petty about Su Li’s implied question about why he was the Water Tribe ruler.

Laughable, how could administrative duties and fighting be the same?

A unicorn specifically targeting him, a dragon that had always risen through slaughter…

If they fought in the domain of the ocean, Leia would guarantee he could take down both of them. But they didn’t! Not only did they not, but the battleground was also that damned human society where one couldn’t fight all-out.

Under the mermaid’s murderous gaze, Su Li inexplicably felt a chill run down his neck.

Attributing it to the temperature difference at high altitude, Su Li resolutely chose to ignore Leia who was tied up like a rice dumpling, and began eating the lunch provided by Lan Zhe.

Roy, possibly worried he would be bored, had also made a few ice sculptures as mealtime companions.

To this, Egbert’s solution was to stuff all those ice cubes into Roy’s mouth, admonishing, “Stop making Lord Su Li’s already fragile constitution even worse!”
