The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 91

Of course, to achieve the strategy of trapping all three parties, there was still one major prerequisite.

That was to contact people connected to the Dark Church.

Those people were too unrestrained and uninhibited. Without restrictions or prior communication, there was a high possibility they would get themselves into trouble before the Pope even appeared.

Even so, the fact that they could cause such panic in Amikbi’s capital city demonstrated the capabilities of those Dark Church members.

When Su Li thought about having to find those people, he immediately grabbed Lan Zhe.

When the latter was curious about why he had been grabbed, Su Li took the initiative to say, “If we don’t find the Dark Church people before they get themselves killed, given their…abilities,” Su Li swallowed the words ‘asking for death’ and continued, “I feel that before the Pope of Light arrives in this city, they’re very likely to offend Ophelia to the point where that Princess would want to gather various forces to eliminate them preemptively.”

It wasn’t about wanting revenge for her father.

Ophelia simply wouldn’t accept having a group of people who wouldn’t follow orders and couldn’t be manipulated during her critical moment. Even if they were drawn into certain plans, they would be labeled as unpredictable factors.

When that time came, what the Princess would most likely do would be to directly contact all the nobles in the city and deal with the Dark Church people first.

Just like how she threw Xiao Zuo to Sadina City because she knew he was an unpredictable factor, and even sent Diz along to complicate things.

Once the unpredictable factor label was applied, Su Li didn’t think that they, as just a few people in this almost completely unfamiliar city, could protect another group from Ophelia’s grasp.

So they could only try to contact them before they completely self-destructed.

Lan Zhe indeed had a way to contact them. After Su Li explained the situation to him, he took Roy out for a while, and when they returned, he said, “We’ve made contact.”

“Though rather than saying we made contact, it’s more accurate to say we know what they’re planning to do next.”

A flash of excitement appeared in Lan Zhe’s eyes.

“Those guys set their sights on a noble family in the East Street three days ago,” Lan Zhe said, and saw Su Li take out a map of the Inner City.

Lan Zhe: “…Anyway, that noble family belongs to extreme God of Light believers. Those idiots just think it would be interesting to make such people experience how their god won’t save them when they’re in desperate situations.”

Su Li lay on the table, staring at the somewhat old map for quite a while before finally determining the general location of East Street.

After seeing it clearly, he sat back up straight in his chair, his fingertip slightly tapping on the largest private building marked on East Street. After a while, he said, “Then let’s go together tomorrow.”

After Su Li finished speaking, he saw Lan Zhe’s curious gaze shooting over.

“Why tomorrow?”

“Because you contacted them today.” Su Li looked at Lan Zhe with lifeless eyes.

As if saying, have you completely abandoned your brain?

Lan Zhe choked, and after a while, he coughed once and said, pretending nothing had happened. “Then let’s go together tomorrow.”

****

After Lan Zhe made contact with the Dark Church people, knowing he was also in this city, the Dark Church members thought about it and still decided to report this news to the Dark Holy Maiden.

Speaking of which, those people never cared about power struggles between the Holy Maiden and Holy Son.

Asked why, they were simply indifferent.

The Dark Church didn’t have as many hierarchical divisions as the Church of Light. Besides having fewer people, another point was that most of them had a characteristic of feeling that so-called status was meaningless.

If you’re not satisfied, fight it out – in a state where either you die or I die, status meant nothing.

So after reporting this news to the Holy Maiden, the reporter was also very clear that they would at most be surprised by the fact that the Holy Son was also in this city, and even then, the surprise would only last for a brief moment.

Surprise aside, these people wouldn’t change their plans to attack the East Street nobles just because of Lan Zhe’s presence.

The Holy Maiden said the same, “Whether he’s here or not doesn’t matter. But since he is here, you might as well send a message back asking if he wants to join in.”

And so…

Su Li, who originally just wanted to simply find the Dark Church people, was dragged onto this bandit ship early in the morning by an enthusiastic Lan Zhe.

Before being dragged out of the inn, Su Li could only hurriedly catch the raven flying towards him and give an apologetic look to Egbert and Roy.

How to put it…

In that instant, the former Son of Light and the two-star mercenary with three-star mercenary strength had already thought of 108 ways for Lan Zhe to die.

After Lan Zhe disappeared with Su Li, Roy turned to ask Egbert, “Why not go after them?”

Egbert immediately replied, “I’ve already contacted those people before.”

Egbert’s previous purpose in going to Jisuo Town was to contact the Dark Church.

Plans and schemes might amount to nothing under absolute power, but could absolute power allow its possessor to completely ignore wisdom?

Egbert thought not.

But the Dark Church people thought it could.

So initially, Egbert had to beat them into submission to gain some voice in the Dark Church as a Light elementalist.

This voice, besides allowing him to obtain more intelligence channels, didn’t mean he got any command authority over the Dark Church members. Though rather than command authority, it would be more accurate to say that organization didn’t have the concept of command authority at all – everyone had always acted on their own initiative.

So when he learned that Su Li wanted to find them, even without command authority, Egbert still tried to make contact.

The result was devastating – they all indicated that while they would be willing to cooperate with the former Son of Light under certain circumstances, they weren’t willing to take orders from someone with zero element affinity.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Therefore, Egbert couldn’t actually accompany Su Li in this situation.

Because they would fight…

Once a fight broke out and the situation changed obviously, Ophelia’s switched identity would only cause those officials to preemptively eliminate any “Church of Light personnel” who might threaten Ophelia’s personal safety.

After all, the abilities of other princesses and princes were all somewhat diluted.

Only Ophelia, who appeared arrogant but had received proper heir education, had the ability to inherit this country.

Although Egbert felt sick that people still defined him as a church member, he also knew that it wasn’t time for him to expose his identity yet.

Otherwise, from the Pope’s perspective, the Inner City that seemed completely under his control would not only fail to achieve the trapped beast situation but might also have its chess game overturned before the plan could unfold.

The more Egbert thought about it, the more he felt that everyone who made it impossible for him to stay with Su Li was a sinner.

Whether it was Ophelia or the Pope who had been behind the scenes until now.

Roy silently moved away from the man who was emanating killing intent.

On the other side.

After once again refusing to hold hands with Lan Zhe, Su Li actively changed the subject. “So why do these people, while believing in the God of Darkness, want to see despair toward God on the faces of God of Light believers?”

Wouldn’t they instinctively empathize in such similar situations?

Then Su Li heard Lan Zhe say, “No, you’ve misunderstood about the faith aspect.”

“The Dark Church people don’t believe in the God of Darkness.”

Su Li admits he was confused for a moment.

Lan Zhe: “Rather than saying belief in the God of Darkness exists within the Dark Church, it would be more accurate to say that most of us joined the Dark Church only after being targeted by the Church of Light. The Dark Church’s purpose isn’t to believe in the God of Darkness or have its members promote the God of Darkness. We gather together simply because we share the same characteristics.”

“For example, we are all considered thorns in the side of the Church of Light.”

“So who else could take control of the Dark Church, an organization naturally destined to be enemies with the Church of Light, if not us?”

When Lan Zhe said this, his face rarely showed the bearing of an important decision-maker of an organization.

Su Li was dazed for a while but then felt this actually made sense.

But when Su Li saw the Dark Holy Maiden with half white and half black hair, he still felt numb.

Really numb.

Almost the moment he saw the Dark Holy Maiden, Su Li thought that the main decision-makers of the Dark Church must have accepted her even knowing who she was.

One question from Lan Zhe proved this point.

He was particularly straightforward. “Your hair… so you’re compatible with both Dark and Light elements?”

The Holy Maiden nodded decisively.

Ignoring the shocking impact of her hair color, the Dark Holy Maiden’s features clearly possessed the charm of an adult woman. Her appearance was beautiful and had strong aggressiveness while also having a noticeable wildness.

This wasn’t proven by the Holy Maiden’s mental aspect, but by her words.

“Back when I was brought to the Church of Light for brainwashing and then sent to infiltrate the Dark Church, perhaps because Dark element users naturally think differently, when the Pope of Light thought I would carefully hide my identity, I directly chose to expose myself.”

Later, after much thought, the Dark Pope figured that a spy is just a spy – what could you expect from a spy who would blow their own cover?

Sure enough, later when the Pope of Light required her to relay information and report her advancement speed in the Dark Church, she dumped all this information directly to the Dark Pope, and only after he confirmed that the information could be sent back to the Church of Light did she choose to report to the Pope of Light.

Not long ago, when this Holy Maiden who had “infiltrated” for many years was asked to guide the Dark Church people to confront the King, she exposed herself again.

The result was…

A group of Dark Church people said, what’s the point of just confronting the King?

After taking down the King, they had consecutively confronted five or six noble families, and now, even under citywide martial law, they had set their sights on the famous jewel family, the Tross family.

Su Li: ……………………

“Really.....impressive.”

“Thanks for the compliment.” The Dark Holy Maiden raised an eyebrow, and just as she was about to pat Su Li’s head, her hand was directly knocked away by Lan Zhe. She continued unfazed, “In my view, you’re quite impressive too, being able to survive until now with this body.”
