The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them - Chapter 167

The imaging principle of the elemental visualization glasses that Castor had made could be measured in reverse using thermal detection devices from modern society.

The function of this device was not simply to allow non-elemental people to observe elements by wearing a pair of glasses.

Rather than being proper glasses that could let Su Li see elements, it was more like a special usage method of a weapon.

For people who possessed no elements, there was no weapon more convenient than the crude method of directly hurling it out.

To put it bluntly, the monocle that Su Li usually carried in his pocket or wore over his eye was a bomb whose true function would not be easily detected by others.

Victoria’s bare-handed attempt to crush it directly caused the hand that touched the lens to be blown to bloody shreds.

“How dare you—!”

Victoria’s severed hand trembled violently beyond her control.

Monster beasts rarely experienced firsthand the impact of suddenly exploding high-density compressed energy.

This was a concept that did not exist in monster beast combat thinking.

Their wide-open combat style made them never consider that glasses with a diameter smaller than the length of a human youth’s thumb would be weapons capable of harming high-level humanoid monster beasts.

But reality had harshly slapped Victoria in the face.

The black dragon roared in fury. “Your chances of survival have been completely eliminated!”

“I want you all dead!”

In an instant, Victoria, who had transformed into her original form, swiftly attacked Su Li.

For the Raven who had just broken through, the power that had not yet fully integrated was somewhat erratic to control. At this moment, he could only narrowly dodge attack after attack while carrying Su Li.

But such luck had its limits. Su Li was eventually struck by the dark elements that the black dragon had unleashed.

Although this attack had been significantly weakened by the Raven’s elemental power before directly hitting Su Li, it still caused the youth to uncontrollably cough up blood the moment it touched him.

Su Li casually wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth. His shimmering dark green pupils were filled with forest-like coldness. Facing the imminent threat of death, the youth slightly raised his eyelids and said calmly, “If you think you can do it, then by all means go ahead.”

Accompanied by the youth’s cold voice, the already terrible building was reduced to ruins by the dark elements striking from all directions.

Dust flew wildly everywhere.

The Raven immediately carried Su Li toward the direction where Adison had previously led his people to retreat.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend—the Raven did not believe they would die so easily here.

Elvi was seriously injured, and how long could Victoria’s madness last?

Moreover…

Who said this battle was only between the Queen’s army and the giant dragon?

Adison’s action of leading his subordinates to the rear was too strange. For non-human level monster beasts, the concept of cutting off rear supply lines simply did not exist.

Whether they even ate human food was questionable.

Moreover, ordinary soldiers had died in large numbers under Elvi’s slaughter…

Was this really just the Queen wanting to use the deaths of numerous ordinary soldiers to incite other Winged Tribes’ hatred toward dragons?

Perhaps there were such elements, but as a general, Adison only needed to show that he was merely suppressing rebellion rather than truly wanting to conduct genocidal judgment against the dragon race, and Elvi’s counterattack would completely lose its popular advantage.

But Adison had not done so.

He had come to the rear—

Eliminating all impossibilities, the reason he would appear here seemed to be only one.

That is, he was not the only “general” who had come.

Or rather, in this battle there existed someone whose status was more noble than Adison, who followed the Queen’s orders.

This could be proven by the merman.

Even if Leia appeared cowardly, as the mermaid ruler, his ability to place Elvi on the same level for dialogue and communication showed that merfolk, based on facts—whether facts about combat ability or racial strength—dared not underestimate dragons.

Conversely, this meant that the subordinate of the Winged Tribe Queen who was on the same level as the mermaid ruler, namely Adison, also did not possess the qualifications to communicate with Elvi on equal terms.

Then in this battle, rather than the butterfly spirit who had retreated in defeat, the true leader of the Queen’s side—the one who could really determine the victory of this battle—had not yet appeared.

And now, they only needed to escape.

Regardless of whether the unappeared character existed or not, Su Li still possessed a trump card.

That was his identity as a pure-bred human.

Elvi had given Su Li the identity of dragon offspring, which besides dealing with Adonis who had previously served as a monitor, was also to conceal Su Li’s true identity.

No matter how many times Elvi had previously expressed that “although Su Li’s value was high, it was not absolutely necessary,” these were all false statements.

As a dragon race with not very large numbers, Elvi had no way to maximize the value of a pure-bred human.

Belittling Su Li and warning the youth through words was only to prevent Su Li from bringing her additional trouble.

And now that both sides had fallen out, no matter what Su Li encountered, he could choose to reveal his identity to gain support from forces hostile to the dragon race.

That is to say, even if that person with higher status than Adison did not exist at all, once Su Li revealed himself, even if the butterfly spirit was seriously injured and could not even crawl up, he would have to be supported by other soldiers to stand upright to protect Su Li’s life safety.

Various pieces of information passed through Su Li’s mind once, while Victoria, like a mad dog, continued her relentless pursuit.

However, it was not long before the Raven carrying Su Li discovered the butterfly spirit’s figure.

Crows were already difficult to conceal in the dawn light, but Adison, who was always surrounded by a group of butterflies, also possessed the ability to attract attention.

The moment the Raven saw Adison, he immediately shouted, “I am a natural monster beast from the area where the Beast Forest borders human territory, and my strength has now broken through to the divine beast realm. Elvi wanted to use my death in exchange for her not being affected by bloodline for a short period, but I don’t want to do that.”

“I want to live, so I betrayed her and chose to escape.”

Adison’s mouth fell open.

Half of the butterfly spirit’s body was filled with various delicate small butterflies. Adison, who had barely pulled himself back from a critical state, had just finished listening to this series of words when he faced Victoria’s immediate follow-up attack.

Mutual harm between monster beasts was not like humans, who always sought to win through surprise.

Before Adison could reply to the Raven, showing either acceptance or rejection, he was directly struck in the face by the black dragon’s tail.

With no other choice, Adison had to take this attack.

Victoria was already furious, and seeing this, she immediately shouted, “So you want to stand with that human and crow, is that it?”

“I only believe what my eyes see. Since you dare to block me, you must be prepared to bear the black dragon’s wrath!” Victoria let out a sharp screech, then began her merciless attack of trading injury for injury.

Adison was extremely irritated. The tiny butterflies that had originally constructed his destroyed half-body once again became weapons at his fingertips.

Facing attack, no monster beast would choose prolonged defense to show peace.

This would only be seen by any thinking monster beast as cowardly incompetence.

“I’d like to say no, but would you believe it?” Adison gritted his teeth.

“I really hate idiots whose minds are full of fighting, who always throw the truth behind them countless times!” A large number of butterflies shrouded Adison’s sides, his bloody half-body exposed to the air showing his furious heart.

“Since you’ve already determined that I’m your enemy, then naturally I can’t let you go either, leaving you the chance to continue opposing me in the future.”

Adison sneered coldly, then ignored all his subordinates and engaged in close combat with Victoria, clearly in a stance where one of them must die.

Su Li ignored the two who were at daggers drawn. After wiping away the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth again, he observed the surroundings with cold indifference.

The dragon’s territory was located on high mountains, and now their group had run to the hilly area far from the dragon’s central territory.

The environment here was illuminated clearly by the dawn light.

But what could be seen most clearly was undoubtedly when they, positioned at a lower place, looked north toward the same hilly area, where a large expanse of aquatic monster beasts was visible to the naked eye.

The previous night had served as the best tool for concealing their vision.

Those aquatic monster beasts, like migrating fish, moved densely upstream along waterfalls and winding streams flowing down from the mountains.

The Raven transformed into human form. After following the youth’s gaze, he could not help but gasp and his lips lost their color. “That’s at least a thousand aquatic monster beasts, and each one’s strength is no less than mine!”

“Cough cough, if you look more carefully, you’ll discover that the leader is Leia.” Su Li coughed once, squinting as he looked toward the high mountain.

The youth, completely unconcerned with the rusty taste of blood in his mouth, continued, “It looks like that merman doesn’t think I can bring Elvi to the aquatic territory, but instead has allied with the Winged Tribe Queen himself, planning to kill her directly here.”

The Raven seemed to understand. “So the Winged Tribe Queen has allied with Leia, who was previously traded back to the Water Tribe, and the two are joining forces against the dragon race?”

“For that twisted merman, his ability to do such things doesn’t seem particularly surprising.” After pondering for a moment, the Raven said, “But what I’m more concerned about is that the Winged Tribe Queen should have previously suspected the possibility of the traded-back Leia allying with Elvi. Under such circumstances, she still cooperated with the merman—how did they trust each other…”

“There are no permanent enemies, only friends with common interests.” Su Li was not surprised by their alliance.

“Whether for dignity or power balance, cooperation with the Winged Tribe Queen is best for Leia. Moreover, with this cooperation, the future Water Tribe can also unite with the Winged Tribe to jointly target Bartholomew.”

Leia’s impression on Su Li, from beginning to end, was that as long as one lived long enough, everything could be trampled underfoot.

Simply put, he embodied the character of “survival.”

Regardless of whether he had dug up his own clansmen’s graves to trade with Elvi, he had been traded back to his own territory and regained control of the Water Tribe.

While the human and Raven conversed pleasantly here, the monster beasts with exceptional hearing also discovered the aquatic army moving upstream.

After Victoria and Adison clashed in another attack, both coughed up blood mixed with organ fragments. The black dragon’s eyes were filled with undeniable hatred as she said angrily, “Sooner or later, I will kill you all!”

Adison was almost thoroughly annoyed. Hearing this, he replied with undisguised malice. “Whether your ‘sooner or later’ can appear, I don’t know, but my intuition tells me you won’t live through today.”

Despite saying this, Adison did not stop Victoria from rushing toward the mountaintop.

In fact, the hardest thing about the butterfly spirit now was his mouth.

Once Victoria left, Adison collapsed directly to the ground.

Other soldiers had died in large numbers during previous battles, and the remaining soldiers were also seriously injured and unable to care for themselves. At this moment, they could not even find a monster beast to help him up.

Su Li watched coldly. He leaned most of his body weight against the Raven, then directed the crow to actively walk toward Adison.

The butterfly spirit lay on the ground, tilting his head, his eyes askew as he questioned, “Don’t tell me that you, who share the same bloodline as Elvi, had already anticipated the current situation, which is why you chose to come down the mountain early.”

He tilted his head, wounds covered with large patches of dust, yet seemingly feeling no pain as he continued, “But of course, Leia is not easy to get along with. That sticky, slippery aquatic creature, when facing enemies, always surges forward in great masses, as if thinking that numbers alone can achieve all victory in battle.”

“Truly disgusting.”

Su Li walked closer.

“Don’t come any closer, or do you want to die?!” Adison’s intact hand on his good side gripped the dirt on the ground tightly, his eyes unfocused.

But Su Li stopped three steps away from him, exhaling expressionlessly.

Clearly, he had confirmed that Adison no longer posed a threat.

The youth looked down at Adison, who seemed to believe he could not survive, his tone neither rising nor falling. “When both your body language and physical condition are constantly indicating a plea for help, don’t keep expressing rejection with your mouth over and over again.”
