The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 92

That gaze contained no derogatory meaning.

At least for Mavis, the Dark Holy Maiden, Su Li was someone who she could tell with just one glance would live an even harder life than herself.

Su Li didn’t notice these complex thoughts, but he discovered that apart from the Dark Holy Maiden, others from the Dark Church truly didn’t take him seriously.

When these people saw him standing alongside Lan Zhe, they uniformly ignored his presence. Even when they wanted to communicate, they would directly address Lan Zhe.

Su Li had no objection to this. He wouldn’t consider himself strong just because he was surrounded by many powerful individuals.

So when Dark Holy Maiden Mavis slightly tilted her body and asked him in a low voice, “Don’t you feel uncomfortable with these gazes?” Su Li calmly replied, “If I felt uncomfortable and actively jumped out, that would be disrespectful to you all.”

Although Su Li didn’t approve of this world’s law of the jungle, he clearly understood that the people of the Dark Church had always lived in such an environment.

Therefore, if he expressed doubt or dissatisfaction in this situation, it would be equivalent to fundamentally denying the people he was about to have an equal dialogue with.

Just like how some things could only be told to the “pet crow” earlier, before establishing connections and dialogue with people from the Dark Church, Su Li would never question or deny others’ way of survival.

Just as he had always demonstrated – don’t think you’re a giant just because you’re standing on a giant’s shoulders.

Su Li looked up at Mavis and said with a calm expression, “My name is Su Li, and yours?”

“Mavis,” the Dark Holy Maiden blinked and answered calmly.

Looking more carefully, Su Li realized that one of Mavis’s eyes had a mechanical silver-gray quality.

“Thank you for listening to me,” Su Li gazed at Mavis’s eyes, his green pupils showing no excess emotion.

After looking at Su Li for about three seconds, Mavis suddenly smiled and said, “I was just thinking, if you showed any surprise or fear, should I just dig out your eyes.”

“I thought you were more likely to consider how you would react if I showed feelings of sympathy and pity,” Su Li said.

This time, Mavis became interested. She stared directly at Su Li’s head, deliberately releasing her imposing aura that she had fought to obtain through various complex adversities, using it to suppress Su Li.

Meanwhile, Mavis didn’t forget to pressure Su Li verbally, saying in an odd tone. “Speculating about a lady’s inner thoughts isn’t a good thing.”

Su Li was confused. “I thought this was just a logical directional response.”

“People who would have bad thoughts about your eyes… anyone who sees your eyes would probably have such thoughts.”

It’s human nature to have various emotions towards things outside one’s understanding.

“And if someone has negative thoughts about your eyes, causing you to develop killing intent, and you plan to act on such thoughts… that would only seem too absurd,” Su Li looked up at Mavis. “Unless you plan to kill everyone in the world, otherwise, you’d only define those who mistake their self-perception as the real you as clowns.”

Su Li also made sure to tell Mavis, “Conversely, feelings of sympathy and pity, though rare, don’t mean they don’t exist at all. And if such perceptions exist, they would only make you feel disgusted.”

Surely no one would think that women in high positions need sympathy and pity?

The suffering experienced by warriors has never been something to be brought out for others’ sympathy. Even if it is brought out, it’s only because painful experiences can be exchanged for more benefits.

Past suffering becomes nothing more than a medal.

Therefore, Su Li’s gaze at Mavis showed no abnormality.

Just as he had always looked at anyone else in this world.

Mavis laughed again. “I suddenly understand why this Dark Holy Son, who’s uniformly evaluated as a mad dog by those within the Dark Church, cares so much about you.”

Even while walking side by side, Lan Zhe still maintained a position slightly half a step behind Su Li.

Though strange, Mavis understood clearly that this was respect.

What was there to respect about a person struggling hard to survive?

Respect for his will?

That couldn’t make the Dark Holy Son willingly position himself behind someone.

But even though Mavis had developed curiosity about Su Li, this curiosity wouldn’t affect any of their upcoming actions.

Before the Dark Church members officially took action, Lan Zhe completed the information Su Li didn’t know through questioning.

Lan Zhe: “Why suddenly choose the Tross family? Most gem merchants make money from other nobles’ hands. Don’t tell me you’re interested in their intelligence about other noble families.”

Mavis acted as if suddenly enlightened, saying, “Oh, so that’s how you see it?”

“Though that is indeed a reason,” Mavis suddenly smiled, “If we were to target Tross using your reasoning, the outside world would probably think that those who possess treasures should be prepared to be coveted by others.”

Mavis commented. “But this approach makes me sick.”

“Only people from the Church of Light would act using such excuses. I,” Mavis pointed at herself, then at all the Dark Church people, “we, all of us would never use such reasons to attack those nobles.”

“If we take action, if we really need a reason, there’s only one.”

Mavis showed a brilliant smile that would make people’s backs feel cold, her mouth corners stretched to the maximum.

She said, “That reason would only be…”

“Because we want to.”

Only people from the Church of Light would maintain all their actions within the scope of justice for the sake of so-called light.

The Dark Church doesn’t need that, and the Dark Holy Maiden needs it even less.

Lan Zhe pressed his tongue against his back teeth, saying slightly dissatisfied, “You know that’s not what I meant.”

“So I’m just expressing,” Mavis was now standing on East Street, her advancing footsteps paused as she turned to face Lan Zhe directly, saying with an ostentatious expression, “no matter what reason you give, I won’t spare the Tross family.”

Su Li knew that the meaning of these words was that whatever happened afterward would be dealt with later.

Dark elementalists don’t need to consider the future; they only satisfy their current desires.

Before the grand Western-style building’s door was blown open, Lan Zhe, who had wanted to hold Su Li’s hand all along, suddenly felt warmth in his palm.

“You knew it would be like this from the start, didn’t you?” Su Li watched the scattered dark element attack waves and building debris, saying with a slight sigh.

Lan Zhe smiled and said, “I thought you would know earlier than me.”

After all, initially, after Na’an’s death, what the Dark Holy Son was most likely to do was to directly kill the two-star mercenary Roy, regardless of reason or excuse.

And if this action had been successful, everyone would naturally think that the Dark Holy Son was someone who extremely valued emotions.

But that wasn’t the truth.

Perhaps biased, but one of the reasons the Church of Light gave for hunting down Dark elementalists, which was also partially acknowledged by some Dark elementalists, was:

“They are a group of people who cannot live within normal principles.”

Dark elementalists are just such a group of people who can never be judged by common sense.

The reason Lan Zhe developed non-romantic feelings of fondness for Su Li was initially just because Su Li’s existence itself was abnormal for this world.

“So we came here just to confirm whether what’s about to happen would become reality,” Su Li looked back at Lan Zhe.

Looking at this Dark Holy Son who often showed motherly qualities, feeling the multiple screams coming from inside the building, he calmly stated, “Only by witnessing how terrible this world is firsthand can one understand that some actions are necessary.”

A suitable world where he could quietly retire and live in peace, without constantly being involved in war and bloodshed, had already existed in another space for many years, would eventually arrive.

Su Li stood on East Street for a long time. Only when he could hear the orderly footsteps, even with his ordinary mortal body, did he speak again.

“Let’s go.”

It was time to devise the next plan that would perfectly involve the Dark Church people in the trapped beast situation, without making Ophelia constantly want to kill them.

Though at this moment, that arrogant grand princess must be furiously smashing things in anger.

****

Su Li was carried by Lan Zhe and returned to the inn without taking much time.

Compared to usual, Su Li showed no abnormal behavior that night except for eating less.

But this seemingly logical cause-and-effect relationship of not wanting to eat much because he couldn’t eat rice was actually the most abnormal thing.

After night fell deeper, Egbert knocked on Su Li’s door.

After the door opened, he glared at the raven standing on the bedside table.

Then he said, “I believe if Lord Su Li has any thoughts, telling me would be much better than telling this crow.”

The raven’s pure black eyes looked at Egbert without emotion, and in an instant transformed into human form.

“What would telling you change?”

“Could telling you possibly change anything?” Egbert sneered and glanced coldly at the raven.

Su Li said with a headache, “I don’t have any particular thoughts, I just felt tonight’s food was a bit unpalatable.”

This was the truth. Although it wasn’t as outrageous as Egbert’s signature half-cooked “Stargazy Pie,” that taste… was truly wild.

Not only had it failed to remove the raw meat smell, but it had even amplified the gamey taste of the mie mie meat soup.

Not throwing up was testament to his superior cultivation.

Let alone eating less, in that instant, Su Li’s brain, filled with various thoughts, was immediately flooded with the eight characters “People of Jiuzhou don’t eat after noon.”

However, Egbert was still Egbert.

He said, “Lord Su Li doesn’t need to feel heartache for irrelevant people, nor should you use this to imagine how many people have been destroyed by the tide of times.”
