The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 61 - Believer

Su Li rarely used malicious words to evaluate others.

However, when circumstances were unusual, Su Li wouldn’t hesitate to use the harshest words to judge others.

Like now.

Su Li’s gaze was cold, a coldness he himself wasn’t aware of. This kind of gaze was less like looking at a person and more like looking at an inanimate object.

The stones on the street, clouds in the sky, fallen leaves under trees – anything would do, as long as it wasn’t looking at a person.

Su Li’s gaze not only terrified Willard but also allowed others to interpret whatever they wanted from his emerald pupils.

Su Li didn’t care about these interpretations; he had rarely exercised such one-sided intimidation.

Frightening someone was simple, especially for Su Li.

Adults possess certain abilities and skills they might not discover until they’re pointed out.

He coldly watched as Willard involuntarily shrank back, attempting to retreat, only to have his neck gripped by Egbert’s hand.

Su Li didn’t find this scene horrifying; in fact, he thought it was exactly what should happen.

As a country’s heir, Willard had many choices in responding to the order to kill his own brother.

Yet he chose the stupidest approach.

Following orders, in many cases, is a compromise between the follower and the one being followed.

But if you’re the heir, the destined ruler, the one who will become king and lead a country, then you absolutely cannot simply choose to obey.

No ability, no determination to support personal actions, no abundant self-awareness.

This child Willard, even in modern society, would be deemed beyond help by Su Li.

Su Li spoke listlessly, “After finding Qi, let him decide how to deal with Willard.”

The killer shall be killed in turn, therefore regardless of what action Qi takes, Su Li wouldn’t presume to give instructions.

But Egbert didn’t think this way.

“A wind elementalist with 98% element affinity is indeed remarkably gifted,” Egbert affirmed while his expression remained undisguisedly contemptuous. “But I don’t believe he has the right to provoke you.”

Not just an heir to a country that barely qualified to stand against the Church, but even if Willard’s father stood before Egbert and dared to insult or harm Su Li in front of him, even as a ruler of a nation, he would have to carefully consider how long his head would remain steadily on his neck.

What did Willard amount to?

He was nothing.

Following his inner thoughts, Egbert tightened his grip on Willard’s neck.

Red spread across Willard’s face, his toes leaving the ground. The panic of being unable to plant his feet firmly, combined with his brain gradually being overwhelmed by asphyxiation, instantly made him experience the fear that has existed in the deepest part of human souls since birth.

That was the fear of death, which couldn’t be changed regardless of whether one consciously denied or accepted it.

“Are you referring to his attempt to use me to threaten Qi?” Su Li raised his eyelids. Though it seemed like a question, he immediately provided Egbert with the answer he wanted.

“Dealing with him directly would be fine, but it wouldn’t reach the level of revenge.”

“Handing him over to those with poor talent whom he looks down upon, letting his fate be decided by someone he despises yet envies – in my view, that’s the most effortless revenge.”

“Besides, you weren’t just dealing with monster beasts in Jisuo Town, were you?” Su Li wasn’t entirely clear about what exactly Egbert had done in Jisuo Town.

When people around him went out on business trips, what kind of clients they met, what plans they discussed – Su Li didn’t think these details were necessary to know.

His judgment was based on just one point.

As Amikbi’s heir, Willard, besides possessing the most typical noble traits of this world, the people around him also shared these same minor flaws.

Even if useless, they must maintain their dignity; even if weak, others couldn’t look down on them.

It would be fine if Willard died by Qi’s hands, but dying by Egbert’s hands would bring various trivial yet annoying troubles.

When it came to trouble, Egbert wouldn’t fear it whether relying on strength or personal consciousness, but if it could be avoided, it was better to avoid it.

After all, it would be very annoying.

However, this kind of adult approach to avoiding worldly troubles wasn’t directly taken by Egbert as the inevitable choice when facing matters, but rather…

Lord Su Li is concerned about me!

Because he worried about Egbert being entangled in trouble, to avoid such trouble, he would even appropriately lower his own stance.

For Egbert, this was…

“Simply the best praise.” Egbert, immersed in his own world, breathed more rapidly while his face wore a dreamy smile.

But in the next moment, Egbert concealed all his joyful emotions and spoke frankly, “Although I’m very happy about your concern for me, I still don’t believe this third-rate character deserves to be someone you compromise for.”

Su Li: Hm?

Weren’t they talking about handing the person over to Qi for handling, which would be killing three birds with one stone?

Not only is it taking revenge on Willard, but also sparing myself some trouble, and I could even offer Qi a new option.

The various optimal options that crossed Su Li’s mind were instantly covered by question marks. And Egbert, who had caused his head to be full of question marks, only released the nearly asphyxiated Willard after casting a reluctant glance at him.

Those soldiers who were forcibly pinned to the ground by light elements like scattered flowers, no matter how much they wanted to get up and save their master, could only watch as Egbert heavily threw him to the ground. After a dull collision sound, everyone saw Willard directly pass out.

But for someone with a gorilla’s constitution, this was simply incredible.

Just as this thought appeared in Su Li’s mind, he heard Cyril say, “He probably fainted from fear.”

Su Li blinked lightly and said, “Is that so?”

After Cyril retracted the metallic-gleaming scales on his face, he said calmly, “That’s right.”

“For a moment just now, I even felt like I saw hell through your eyes.”

Green is actually a very magical color, especially when this color is applied to eyes.

When lowering the eyelids, shadows make the pupil color deep and dark. When completely opening the eyelids, the pupils illuminated by light present a crystalline beauty, as if containing a vast starry sky within.

When Su Li attributed his facial feature changes to exaggerated body language expressions, that kind of overwhelming looking down from above, that superior meaning, not only would make people’s legs weak but also make them uncontrollably lower their heads.

It would even make people feel from the bottom of their hearts that if you made this person feel annoyed, then the entire world would reject you.

But what really made people’s hair stand on end wasn’t just these things, but rather that kind of pressure like cold air approaching every pore.

You’ll die.

From the moment this consciousness appeared, anyone being watched by Su Li would feel mental collapse because of it.

However, this quality was something that nobody except the bystanders at his side could definitively determine as special.

Even the person himself didn’t have accurate awareness of this point.

Moreover, up until now, there had only been two cases of people being targeted.

Castor, as a researcher, chose complete submission, while Willard directly fainted from fear.

“Really useless.” Cyril kicked Willard’s leg lightly, “Completely different from Qi, who quickly took action as soon as he discovered something was wrong.”

If only Willard had used his brain to investigate the people around Qi, specifically Su Li…

If he had investigated, he would have discovered that just the people openly gathered around Su Li were already beyond his ability to offend.

Euphia dared to be sarcastic to the Pope, and although the Lion’s Club leader rarely visited recently, gifts were still sent at regular intervals.

Egbert could serve as the main output when fighting against level nine monster beasts. And Roy, who had three-star mercenary ability but remained a two-star mercenary. Even Mark, who usually had a low presence, was originally the strongest in an organization.

Not to mention a series of people hiding their identities in the dark.

How many tons of seawater must have been poured into Willard’s brain for him to think that Su Li would be a helpless little thing that anyone could bully?

Cyril sneered. “I really hope that people we meet in the future are all such fools, because they would make even me feel like I’m a smart person.”

It should be known that Cyril, who currently held the lower limit of intelligence in the small building, had always been among those being struck down before.

Su Li’s mouth twitched slightly, and finally changed the topic from what he originally planned to say, “Why would you think you’re a fool” to “Cyril has always been smart, it’s just that people have different sensitivities when facing things.”

Cyril decisively ignored Willard on the ground and sketched a very shallow smile with slightly reddened cheeks.

Irrelevant people weren’t worth paying attention to.

Now, the most important thing was…

“Such words shouldn’t be said to just anyone.” Cyril’s peripheral vision glanced at Egbert.

These words specifically targeted that former Son of Light who had a dejected face and looked pitiful.

Egbert ignored Willard lying on the ground and actively walked to Su Li’s side, muttering in a voice ensuring Su Li could hear, “I really hope that one day, you could put all your attention on me.”

“How about slightly ignoring those things in the world that always catch your thoughts?” he deliberately said with a troubled expression.

Egbert’s eyes weren’t very noticeably bright, after all, this was just a probe.

“Even with 800 degrees of myopia, it’s impossible to only have you in my eyes,” Su Li said honestly, “Moreover, if I ignored the world, I would only think about whether my existence here has any meaning or not – such profound topics.”

While feeling disappointed by this response, Egbert also confirmed that this was indeed something Su Li would say.

The so-called 800 degrees of myopia is a degree where those with myopia easily joke about being blind.

This also showed that even in rejection, Lord Su Li was deeply aware of his emotional changes.

If it weren’t for becoming increasingly sensitive to Su Li’s behaviors due to not seeing him for a long time, Egbert wouldn’t have thought about such detailed aspects.

The first part was a subtle rejection, but the latter part, in Egbert’s view, meant: what constituted Su Li wasn’t just his body, but everything around him, including him…

Therefore, not ignoring the world was equivalent to…

Never ignoring him.
