The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 32 - Super Cool

It was only now that Su Li realized that Lan Zhe actually had the identity of a holy son. (TL: ‘圣子’ holy son or son of god)

With a twitching corner of his mouth, Su Li bluntly mocked. “Is this some legendary holy son matching game?”

“Collect three holy sons to summon a dragon?”

Lan Zhe waved his hand. “There’s no such function.”

“I became a holy son only because my affinity with the dark element was high enough.”

“Don’t treat being a holy son as something special. While I can’t disclose information about the Dark Church without permission, even I know that the Church of Light has more than a dozen holy sons publicly.”

Thinking about it this way made it seem somewhat cheap, but upon deeper reflection, understanding that all holy sons were selected from the elite of the elite across the world, one would realize this wasn’t actually a high proportion.

Su Li waved dismissively. “I’m not very interested in learning about these things.”

He felt that digging deeper would involve information ordinary people shouldn’t know.

Therefore, Su Li returned his attention to figuring out how to reasonably make the Bishop kick the bucket when he arrives in Jisuo Town, while still being able to openly desecrate his corpse.

It wouldn’t make sense for someone who hadn’t committed any wrongs to be cursed by the people, while the real mastermind dies being hailed as a hero.

That would be genuinely sickening.

…

News spread through Jisuo Town faster than imagined.

The incident of a traitor kidnapping the Son of Light put many within the Church on alert. Everyone knew that if this news leaked widely, those fanatics would become uncontrollable puppets.

They would sacrifice everything for their faith, even their lives.

Moreover, the Order of the Knights of Light brought back news that there was a dark element wielder with the traitor.

For nearly thirty years, most dark element wielders were executed immediately upon detection – in truth, only one had ever escaped.

After comparing the dark element wielder’s appearance as seen by the Knights of Light, the Church quickly identified Lan Zhe.

The Church’s internal library archives contained records of Lan Zhe previously causing dark element disturbances.

This led the Pope to immediately decide to send the Cardinal to Jisuo Town to bring Diz back as soon as possible.

However, the Cardinal, who was second only to one person, seemed to have his own remarkable perspective, and chose this moment to make sarcastic remarks.

“If incompetent ones know they’re incompetent, they shouldn’t rush to commit foolish acts.”

Before even heading to Jisuo Town, the Cardinal directly mocked the Pope. Without understanding the truth of the matter, he had already decided that Diz going to Jisuo Town was a typical case of someone not understanding their own capabilities yet still wanting to gain merit – pure stupidity.

Looking at age, the Pope had reached his seventies, while the Cardinal appeared about the same age as the forty-something leader of the Lion’s Club.

At such an age, reaching the position of second-in-command indeed gave him reason to be proud. However, daring to mock like this before becoming the top leader inversely proved that he was at most just someone skilled in conspiratorial schemes.

Sure enough, just as the Cardinal headed toward Jisuo Town, the Pope had already issued orders to the Archbishop.

“Didn’t Jisuo Town report that there were even more powerful monster beasts behind the Crystal Winged Dragon?”

“A being more powerful than an eighth-rank monster beast must be a ninth-rank monster beast. The Cardinal’s Order-level power surely cannot compare to a legendary divine being.”

The kindly-looking Pope, with a gentle expression, spoke words filled with bloodthirst.

“So even if he dies there, it can only mean that these vicious monster beasts need to face even more brutal strikes.”

To kill a powerful person or monster beast doesn’t require someone or something stronger. Power can often only determine strength differences, not life and death.

Originally, the Pope hadn’t planned for the Cardinal to die so early, as he was still young and truly powerful. If given the chance to breakthrough to divine being, he might have helped the Church of Light advance further…

Time had allowed the Pope to still vaguely maintain a slight edge over the Cardinal in power, but the Pope knew clearly that once this edge disappeared, he would inevitably be kicked out of his position by the Cardinal who made no effort to hide his desire for power.

The succession of the Pope’s position wasn’t simply about inheritance. If the current Pope were to become a loser under the Cardinal…

The loser must perish.

Time could promote growth in power, but also cause it to decline.

Advanced age had ultimately made the Pope slightly weaker in terms of strength.

At this point, if the Cardinal could have remained silent and quietly followed orders without saying or doing unnecessary things, the Pope thought he might have spared his life.

But the Cardinal had crossed the bottom line of a greedy person who feared death and refused to give up power.

Therefore, the Pope would absolutely not let him off.

Back to Su Li.

Knowing that the Cardinal’s journey to Jisuo Town would take at least half a day, Su Li took advantage of the night to directly drag Cyril by the wrist to find the Crystal Winged Dragon.

Lan Zhe, leaning against a tree to rest, slightly lifted one eyelid, looked at Egbert who, as soon as Su Li entered the lair, squatted at the entrance like a silly dog with wide eyes waiting…

Then he let out an unhesitating sound of disgust.

“Tch.” Lan Zhe’s contemptuous gaze landed directly on Egbert’s forehead. “Na’an won’t harm Su Li.”

Egbert didn’t look back at Lan Zhe, just lowered his head to look at the stone floor, saying in a slightly dejected tone. “I just feel that I’m too useless, unable to provide my lord with information about dragon species.”

Lan Zhe: “…”

While a vein throbbed wildly on Lan Zhe’s forehead, he inwardly shouted…

I really shouldn’t have spoken up!

“I suddenly feel that Su Li’s words about holy sons being sick are absolutely correct divine words.”

Talking with Egbert, who was the most deeply sick, was like guiding oneself into the abyss of insanity!

At this time, deep in the Crystal Winged Dragon’s lair...

The crystalline dragon body reflected some light invisible to Su Li in the night, giving off a dreamlike radiance.

After entering with Cyril’s wrist in hand, Su Li didn’t hesitate and directly asked the Crystal Winged Dragon the key question.

“Do you know any information about dragon species related to Cyril?”

Su Li wouldn’t ignore Cyril’s potential changes, good or bad, just because he knew about the life-and-death battle the Crystal Winged Dragon was about to face.

Diz’s knowledge could only tell Su Li that Cyril had experienced atavism and his non-human bloodline belonged to dragon species, nothing more.

At this point, the Crystal Winged Dragon, also being of dragon species, seemed like it might know something, so Su Li came to ask.

The Dragon’s otherworldly voice responded. “Though I don’t dislike you, you should know that you’re human. As a human asking about monster beasts, do you think I would tell you?”

“Of course you will,” Su Li said decisively. “Cyril is still a child. For you who values children, besides him being a young one, his dragon bloodline makes him worthy of knowing information he doesn’t understand.”

From the Crystal Winged Dragon’s perspective, it could see that this child with emerald eyes was genuinely protecting Cyril as an elder when calling him a child.

Therefore, when Su Li spoke these potentially provocative words, the Dragon not only wasn’t angry but felt grateful.

It said something completely unrelated to Su Li’s question. “I never thought I’d live to see humans and monster beasts interact as equals.”

Cyril’s ancestor, who gave him the dragon bloodline, was a truly gifted monster beast.

The Dragon explained directly. “High-level dragon bloodlines give their offspring extremely high talent and above fifth-rank power from birth. The combination of talent and innate power led to the birth of a ninth-rank monster beast who didn’t understand humans.”

“For monster beasts, ninth-rank power gives us the ability to change form, or as humans say, take human form…”

What would happen when a naive, unworldly dragon entered human society?

Being deceived was almost inevitable.

Why were humans always attacking the Beast Forest? Besides the inherent value of the monster beasts themselves, there were countless resources humans wanted.

Medicines, minerals – these were all treasures.

A being who could walk freely in the Beast Forest naturally had the right to search for what it wanted, and so a monster beast carrying great treasure without knowing became the target of deception.

Using lies to weave love, using fake sincerity to deceive innocence, the price was that a monster beast truly fell in love with a human.

However, monster beasts don’t carry offspring for ten months like humans do.

When the abnormality was discovered, when it was deemed worthless…

The result naturally became banishment.

Although for a dragon, upon discovering the initial deception, the partner’s head was immediately separated from their body.

Many, many years later, a dragon with human bloodline was born.

When it broke from its shell, it wasn’t in the form of a small dragon, but rather a human infant.

So the ninth-rank monster beast sent this child back to human society.

The child later showed no obvious monster beast traits, and thus mated with humans, passing down this monster beast bloodline.

Until Cyril’s parents’ generation, who died in an accident years ago, leaving behind a child with dragon bloodline who could only be a beggar.

At this point in the story, the Crystal Winged Dragon told Su Li, “Awakening the dragon bloodline, besides causing some changes in his appearance, the only other effect will be that his growth rate might slow down somewhat. After all, dragons can live for thousands of years.”

Only after hearing from a “professional” monster beast that there truly wouldn’t be other negative effects did Su Li genuinely relax.

As he breathed a sigh of relief, he prepared to take Cyril outside, no longer wanting to disturb the Dragon’s rest.

However, when Su Li politely said, “We won’t disturb your rest any longer, we’ll head out,” the Dragon actively extended one of its crystal-like wings.

The Crystal Winged Dragon gently touched Su Li’s head with its wing tip, then said, “I hope you never develop any ill intentions toward this child…”

What Su Li didn’t know was that the unspoken continuation of the Dragon’s words was that otherwise, Cyril’s still-living ancestor might do something even worse.

Su Li paused as he walked out of the lair, and with his back to the Dragon, said, “Humans are the race that can adapt fastest to everything. If they can’t accept certain things, besides possible inherent close-mindedness, it’s mostly because…”

“They’ve seen too little.”

As Su Li stepped out of the dimly lit lair entrance, he turned his head, looking at Cyril with his dark red scales, a faint smile appearing on his lips as he said in a deep voice. “Having a companion with dragon bloodline is super cool.”
