The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 35 - Going Together

In that instant, Su Li thought about many things, or rather, all the signs had been there early on.

The so-called person who lives in this world under the ‘name of his wife’…..

And when they first entered Sadina City, that figure who actively appeared and tried to cooperate with Egbert.

It’s worth noting that at that time, Egbert was extremely careful about concealing his identity through his attire to avoid unnecessary trouble.

But Roy still chose Egbert at first glance.

Unless, like Euphia, he already knew Egbert’s identity…

Perhaps it wasn’t just that.

After all, the name “traitor” was spread across the world immediately, and perhaps Roy, who appeared sunny and bright, wasn’t thinking about cooperation with Egbert, but rather about taking his life…

Was that it? Or was it something else?

Su Li’s mind was in chaos.

What was this? Reality always being more dramatic than any script?

Na’an’s already rapidly draining life seemed to have hit a fast-forward button, visibly weakening at an accelerated pace.

Na’an would die – no one could change that fact – but the enraged Lan Zhe immediately launched an attack toward Roy.

If this were a life-or-death battle with inevitable death, Lan Zhe wouldn’t have done anything, as he respected Na’an’s choices and her chosen final outcome. But now… what was this?

The scene of extreme violent physical combat without the use of elemental attacks made Su Li feel even more terrified.

After all, he still considered elemental power to be something unscientific, but human-to-human physical combat felt more real to Su Li.

What should he do? Stop them or not, or…

Adults should maintain calm and rationality in any situation to prevent unexpected developments, but now Su Li felt completely lost, unable to adapt, helpless about what to do, without any ideas.

Egbert stood not far from the increasingly fierce fight between the two, equally at a loss.

Egbert knew Roy and was aware of his general situation. Although the former Son of Light had an ocean of water in his brain, it didn’t mean his thinking ability was drowning in it.

The reason why Roy chose to act became clear at this moment, connecting all his previous behaviors.

But he didn’t know how to stop Lan Zhe.

It was visible to everyone that Roy had no will to resist in his fight with Lan Zhe, constantly remaining defensive.

But this was unreasonable for someone skilled enough to become a three-star mercenary.

So what was he thinking?

Su Li was also pondering this question.

But the conclusion was very obvious.

Roy wanted to die too.

The Cardinal’s death was what Su Li had hoped to see; Na’an’s chosen final outcome, though painful, he would still choose to respect; but Roy…

What was this about?

“Take me over there,” Su Li sometimes felt that actions could overcome thoughts, like now.

“Take me over there!” Su Li repeated with increased emphasis to Cyril.

The wind-element manipulating youth slightly opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but faced with the indescribable look in Su Li’s eyes, he finally chose to compromise.

“Alright,” Cyril said.

When Egbert noticed Su Li approaching, his first reaction wasn’t concern for his safety, but rather an instinctive trust in a reliable presence, even accompanied by a slight, negligible joy.

Na’an was dying.

Su Li gave up trying to understand everything about Roy. Because he knew that if he said something, Egbert would do it.

Su Li’s expression was cold as he pointed his right index finger at the two increasingly violent fighters nearby, saying coldly, “Watch them. Don’t let them kill each other.”

All of Egbert’s hesitation and uncertainty vanished. Once he knew what he needed to do, his ability to act was extraordinary.

Su Li quickly walked toward Na’an.

At least, before the world’s last Crystal Winged Dragon disappeared, he wanted to hear her final words to this world.

“You…”

With a splash, Na’an coughed up a large amount of blood that hit the ground in front of Su Li. As drops of blood spattered on his face, the Crystal Winged Dragon seemed to try forcing an apologetic smile, but finding herself unable to do so, she could only look at Su Li with regret and say, “Sorry.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about.” Su Li’s unusually quick response made him feel regretful the moment the words left his mouth.

He should have spoken more peacefully.

But for a Crystal Winged Dragon who had waited many years anticipating the birth of her children, this kind of reaction best showed the vitality of life.

“Did you come here for something?”

Even knowing her impending death, the baseline vitality of an eighth-rank monster beast allowed Na’an to maintain a not-so-brief period of consciousness before death.

“I thought you would say something about being glad for revenge, or words of longing for your children.”

Su Li completely abandoned the careful organization of words that adults typically employ before speaking.

“Or perhaps worry about what Lan Zhe will do afterward, since this situation will surely spread across the continent. Once a dark element user is discovered, they’ll surely face long-term pursuit and assassination attempts.”

“I don’t care about those things,” Na’an’s gaze was extremely peaceful. “Because I’ve done everything I needed to do. In fact, when I chose this final outcome for myself, I had already thought about everything I should and shouldn’t think about.”

“But, child,” the Crystal Winged Dragon’s ethereal voice seemed filled with a holy quality this time, “you shouldn’t ask so much of a dragon about to die.”

“Instead, I hope to leave all the questions you raised for you to solve. You can take this as my last words, or as what I can still do for those I care about in this world during my final moments.”

“Although my final outcome seems somewhat dramatic.” Na’an still managed to open her blood-stained mouth in a smile. Though the smile wasn’t beautiful, she still wanted to say one last thing before leaving this world completely…

“I’ve never regretted anything.”

From beginning to end, it had always been so.

Before Na’an’s eyes appeared a scene from long ago, when her husband was still by her side, both of them watching their two dragon eggs, anticipating their birth, waiting for them to open their eyes to see this world.

Then in a flash, she saw two young dragons and her husband, showing slight reproach as he said to her, “From now on, let’s all walk together as a family.”

Those lifeless blood-colored eyes once again made Su Li feel the proximity of death.

It wasn’t regret for others’ departure, nor fear of death’s unknown arrival for himself. He was merely mourning, mourning that the world had once again lost something precious that perhaps even It didn’t know the value of.

The death of a Crystal Winged Dragon wasn’t like most monster beasts who would leave remains behind.

Their bodies were too special – at the moment they completely lost consciousness, the crystalline parts of their body that had been their strongest features in life would completely erode all flesh.

Su Li watched it happen with his own eyes.

He watched as one of the world’s rare miracles completely vanished from this world, transforming inch by inch into crystals devoid of any warmth.

The blue was incredibly beautiful under the sunlight.

Regardless of how desolate the surroundings were, regardless of how bloody this place was, it couldn’t mask…

This final, one-of-a-kind miracle.

From now on, there would be no more Crystal Winged Dragons in the world.

The dragon-shaped crystal was watched intently by the youth standing before it, until it crumbled inch by inch into fragments and dispersed.

And that delicate, jewel-encrusted lady’s dagger that Roy had left behind fell heavily from the crystal’s heart onto the ground…

Until all the crystal completely disappeared, leaving behind a red and blue intermingled gem that seemed to still sparkle at the spot.

Su Li’s consciousness wavered, and he seemed to faintly hear through the wind words that he wasn’t sure were imaginary or real.

[Child, I hope you can see this world well in place of my children.]

.....

Lan Zhe and Roy’s battle came to an abrupt halt.

Before Egbert could stop Lan Zhe from delivering a fatal blow to Roy, Lan Zhe had already rushed toward that crystal upon discovering it.

No one understood what it was better than Lan Zhe.

Only a death without regrets would allow a miraculous race like the Crystal Winged Dragons to leave behind a gem that provided tremendous protection for humans.

This stone would allow its bearer to face eighth-rank monster beasts and below directly. It would give humans a chance to breathe before being killed by monster beasts who naturally despised them.

Rather than being killed immediately when facing other races.

It was something extremely useful for humans, but completely worthless to monster beasts.

And this was what the world’s last Crystal Winged Dragon had left behind…

“Why?! Why doesn’t Na’an have any regrets!”

Lan Zhe’s eyes were completely red.

She hadn’t saved her children, hadn’t let them see this world with their own eyes, and hadn’t died according to her own wishes, yet she had left behind the [Death Stone Without Regrets] that only existed in legends.

Lan Zhe pulled hard at his hair, unable to understand or imagine.

Why wasn’t there hatred?

Why wasn’t there resentment?

Why leave behind this gem…

No one could give the correct answer to Na’an’s deepest thoughts.

Even Su Li could only speculate. “Perhaps…”

“Perhaps it’s because this world wasn’t as unbearable as she had imagined in the past.”

Lan Zhe sat slumped on the ground without any response, staring at the gem as if his soul had left him.

He should have been able to understand Na’an leaving this stone that made his heart ache, just as he could understand the death she had chosen for herself.

But Lan Zhe couldn’t do it.

Su Li absently looked up at the sky.

It was only then that Su Li noticed all the great waters that Na’an had originally caused had completely disappeared. At this moment, a rainbow appeared in the sky that he couldn’t comprehend.
