The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 139.1 - [Madness Disease] (part 1)

Otherwise, the mermaid ruler would appear extremely weak in front of his opponent if his words meant nothing.

Reality indeed proved this correct.

Elvi ultimately chose to stay with Leia for two more days, but whether these two days had room for negotiation...

It depended on who would first grasp the opportunity to inform Elvi about the recent situation in monster beast society after lunch.

Previously, when searching for Na’an, Elvi had spent some time in the monster beast forest.

This time couldn’t be called very long, but compared to Leia’s speed in arriving at Sadina City just half a day later... it could only conversely indicate that the beast tribe was mainly targeting the water tribe, and hadn’t really attacked Elvi’s people or subordinate forces.

Simply put, Leia was currently in a disadvantageous position.

But even so, Su Li might not have the opportunity to seize the right to speak in front of him.

So Su Li chose to openly call everyone in the small building into his room, and then laid out everything he had thought of.

Egbert didn’t have time to marvel at the fact that he was sitting on Lord Su Li’s bed before being bombarded with all kinds of information.

Lan Zhe leaned against the window, one leg stretched out, one leg slightly bent. He deliberately gave Egbert a “is it really as Su Li says” questioning look, trying to confirm things through Egbert’s reaction, but all he could see on his face was confusion.

After Su Li had finished sharing all the known information, he held his water cup, took a sip, and quietly waited for the information to sink in.

He bet that Elvi could hear all this, and also bet that Leia would follow Elvi’s actions and actively step onto the second floor, which was considered a private domain for humans.

Sure enough, there was a knock on the door.

Su Li nudged the Raven, who was standing on his bedside table, and the latter knowingly walked toward the door. With some unknown movement, the Raven quickly opened the door in the form of a small crow.

By the time Elvi entered, Su Li had already very consciously put on his white fluffy hat.

When Leia came up in completely human form, he felt curious and asked Su Li, “Why do you always cover your vision with a hat when you see me and Elvi?”

Su Li didn’t give a long explanation: because the clothes created from elements might be very convenient, comfortable, and useful for them, but for him, these clothes were more uncertain than Schrödinger’s cat.

Su Li simply said, “I can’t see clothes made of condensed elements.”

Everyone could feel that the merman’s face twisted in that instant.

Elvi mocked him, “Is such a small matter worth your concern?”

Even while sitting downstairs confronting Leia earlier, Elvi had still clearly heard what Su Li said through the wind.

Leia hadn’t heard it. This wasn’t due to a difference in monster beast hearing ability, but because Leia wouldn’t do such things in front of Elvi.

He wanted to cooperate with Elvi, not to provoke the other’s nerves and then truly fight a life-and-death battle with Elvi, ultimately benefiting the beast tribe.

But after hearing this now, Leia was also quite upset.

“I’m not like you crazy people who would go on a killing spree at any time,” Leia retorted unhappily.

“You might not care about your privacy, but I still care about mine.”

As soon as he said this, Su Li vaguely understood something.

If Elvi had already been 90% assimilated into a monster beast, acting completely with a monster beast mentality, then Leia was probably somewhere between monster beast and human, and was using something to maintain an extremely delicate balance between the two.

Leia even later actually asked Egbert for a set of clothes.

Elvi clicked her tongue, and perhaps unable to stand seeing Su Li always wearing a hat, also actively asked Euphia for a set of clothes.

Both of them showed obvious discomfort after putting on human clothes.

Before the topic began, Su Li didn’t mind helping the two relax a little first. After taking off his hat, he tidied his somewhat messy hair and then said, “Compared to physical clothes, why are you more accustomed to clothing constructed from elements?”

The answer to this question was explained by Leia, who was tugging at his clothes and complaining about how ugly they were.

“Monster beasts are just monster beasts, no matter what they can’t turn back into humans,” Leia shrugged. “And since we’re monster beasts, we always have to consider how to make ourselves more mobile during battle.”

“Like the armor on Elvi...”

Leia looked at the dragon and, not detecting any rejection on her face, shrugged and continued, “That armor completely constructed from wind elements. During battle, it acts like an elemental expansion device, allowing her to maximize her control over wind in an extremely short time.”

Leia didn’t seem to care about privacy as much as he claimed. When fighting with Elvi earlier, the fellow with a fish tail had his upper body completely exposed.

But from a combat perspective, those skilled in water control did need to consider water resistance and the impact that those subtle friction forces might have on their movement.

In this sense, the merman form was indeed more suitable for action.

Elvi gave Leia the opportunity to open the topic, but didn’t forget to interrupt the possibility of the two continuing to chat at this point. The dragon said, “What you should do now is explain to me whether your various guesses about Leia’s visit to human society are true or false.”

Su Li gave an awkward but polite smile to the merman whose face had lost all traces of a smile, leaving only coldness.

The act ended here.

Now was the moment to seize the opportunity.

“It’s all true,” Su Li didn’t even give Leia a chance to ask what he had guessed.

“Unless you can completely deceive yourselves.” But since being transmigrated to this world, Su Li hadn’t seen any deceiver who could fool themselves.

“Whether it’s the internal strife within the water tribe, or the beast tribe planning to attack the water tribe, or having already declared war on the water tribe, all of these should be correct.”

Leia’s face had changed from an ice block that could melt at room temperature to an extremely hard stone.

Su Li held his water cup with both hands, smiling sweetly at the two humanoid monster beasts.

He casually placed the water cup aside, sitting obediently, and even tapped his temple saying, “I may not match your strength, but in terms of brainpower, I shouldn’t be too weak to enter the game.”

“And now, I think what we should confirm is whether what the parties involved really want to do differs from what I’ve guessed.” Su Li turned his gaze to Leia.

Because he was sitting, Su Li’s action of looking up somewhat eased Leia’s explosive mood.

But only a little bit.

“Pfft.” Elvi laughed sarcastically, “Just look at his current expression, no different from a stinking stone in a latrine, which already proves your guess is correct.”

After exhaling, Leia suppressed his violent thoughts and instead revealed an even more ostentatious smile.

“You’re right. Whether it’s internal strife within the water tribe or the water tribe being declared war on by the beast tribe, these are all things that have already happened,” Leia’s mind quickly shifted from explosion to the thought that since things had already happened, rather than dwelling on why they happened, it was better to think about how to maximize his advantage.

“I indeed don’t have much need for the Raven in coming here,” Leia said calmly. “But as Elvi said, once the Raven reaches level ten monster beast, even I can’t completely ignore his value.”

Su Li, however, clapped his hands heavily at this point, forcibly interrupting Leia’s attempt to guide the conversation.

Even while being watched by two humanoid natural disasters, Su Li still showed no change.

Thanks to that mentality that as long as one wasn’t dead, there was still a chance, which had already been etched into his DNA.

Su Li calmly said, “So to put it bluntly, the current situation is that Elvi relatively needs the Raven, but because the truth about Elvi’s attitude toward Na’an has been revealed, she temporarily doesn’t absolutely need the Raven.”

“I think you understand this reason better than I do.”

“Hmm... [Madness Disease], let’s use this term to describe those monster beasts who ultimately couldn’t resist madness and committed suicide.”

Su Li threw the table to the sky before the two monster beasts thought the situation was about to be built into a complete chess game in his hands.

He told everyone in the room, humans and monster beasts alike. “Elvi needs the Raven to supplement her missing genes, so that she can alleviate the Madness Disease.”

“Regarding the suicidal behavior of the Madness Disease, this was actually told to me by Leia.”

“That’s why Elvi has such a high demand for the Raven, and why she could come to human society in person with an extraordinary identity after combining with Na’an.” Su Li emphasized the words “in person.”

“Secondly, the Raven’s value has been actively pointed out by you. His true value will come after he becomes a level ten monster beast.”

“Simply put, the Raven belongs to the type of genius in his growth period.”

“Leia temporarily doesn’t value the Raven highly, probably because the Raven will suffer a lot of damage in the process of rising to level ten monster beast. The first and most obvious damage should be the process itself of rising from level nine to level ten.”

“The second is that once the Raven is brought into monster beast society, he is most likely to encounter assassination attempts from different forces. After all, whether for the water tribe or the beast tribe, once Elvi falls into the state of Madness Disease, she would definitely be much easier to deal with than she is now.”

“The fact that Leia didn’t directly target the Raven means you want to cooperate with Elvi. Not attacking the Raven also signifies a release of goodwill.”

“Above all, do you have any questions?”

Su Li clapped his hands again, and while his people wore expressions of “although I don’t understand how Su Li figured this out, since Su Li has already given the answer, there’s no need to care too much about the process,” Su Li turned his gaze to Elvi and Leia.

The former laughed coldly. “Based on what evidence did you determine that my absolute need for the Raven has transformed into a relative need?”

“Because of Na’an,” Su Li said, looking into Elvi’s eyes.

When Su Li made this gesture, the dragon suddenly regretted choosing to wear human clothes.

Not being able to block Su Li’s vision meant that this young man could use various means to suggest, control, and even dominate others at any time.

When Elvi fell into that mindset, Su Li didn’t directly reveal the truth but instead asked her, “Are you sure you want me to reveal the truth about your Madness Disease being alleviated in front of everyone present?”

Elvi disliked the uncovered-eyed Su Li even more.

When he was all covered up, he could guess so many things. Now that he could actually see other people’s expressions, Elvi felt as if she had been stripped naked even though she was wearing clothes.

“That won’t be necessary,” she said coldly.

Leia guessed that Elvi had probably alleviated her mental state because of that one called “Na’an.”

Unfortunately, he didn’t know exactly what it was, and he didn’t intend to touch this sore spot.

After Su Li nodded to Elvi, simultaneously ignoring everything related to “Na’an,” the mermaid ruler saw the young man continue, “So now the question is how to achieve a united defense against the beast tribe’s attack, given that the alliance between the winged tribe and the water tribe has already been exposed to the beast tribe.”

As soon as Su Li said this, it was clear that no one, or rather no monster beast, could keep up.

“What do you mean by achieving a united defense in a confirmed exposed situation?” The one who asked this question was actually Euphia, a human.

But Euphia received no response from either the monster beasts or the humans.

After a moment of silence, Su Li suddenly felt he had taken too much for granted.

He had assumed that the two mobile natural disasters who had come from monster beast society to human society would, at the very least, understand more about things related to them than what he had deduced from his limited perspective.

But the result was that these two, who hadn’t even formed an alliance yet, couldn’t imagine what they represented by gathering together.

Leia and Elvi had fought, and after fighting, not only did they not separate, but they entered human territory together with Elvi.

Any beast tribe member with a brain would, due to their position, immediately engrave this scene of potential alliance in their mind, wouldn’t they?

If Leia truly wanted to privately make the beast tribe completely ignore the alliance between the water tribe and the winged tribe, what he needed to do was to blow up this small building the moment he arrived with Elvi.

But in reality, this premise simply couldn’t exist.

Without releasing goodwill, an alliance would be impossible; releasing goodwill meant that anyone from the beast tribe would understand at a glance that something had changed.

The image of a crow lying on Su Li’s head hadn’t been noticed by many people in the mercenary city.

So the basis for judgment by monster beasts who could transform into human form would only be things that everyone could notice.

For example, if the house exploded, it meant they were still hostile; if the house didn’t explode, they weren’t. This was a very simple answer, either one or two.

Su Li once again felt as if he was teaching infants, and after explaining clearly, didn’t forget to ask, “Do you understand?”

Everyone: ... M-Maybe?

But at this moment, Elvi suddenly said, “Why must I ally with Leia?”

The scene fell into silence for a moment.

Su Li’s normal breathing even stopped for a second.

Finally, everyone’s gaze fell on Leia.

The mermaid ruler probably hadn’t imagined that, even at this stage, Elvi could suddenly come out with such a statement.

“Why not ally with me? Once the water tribe falls, do you think your winged tribe will fare any better?” Leia was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

“Why should I care how well the winged tribe fares?” Elvi instead looked at Leia with puzzled eyes. “I’m not the king of the winged tribe; the life and death of the winged tribe isn’t within my consideration at all.”

“And what makes you think I would care about the life and death of the winged tribe?”

Elvi coldly looked at Leia. What she couldn’t understand most was why this merman would think that she would care.

“You know, right? We’ve fought so many battles.” Elvi was referring to the times when the winged tribe and the water tribe fought.

In over 200 years, how many battles had they fought?

So many that Elvi couldn’t remember clearly.

But Leia angrily said, “Who would believe that someone on the battlefield would be the same in private?”

Su Li, as a spectator, very quietly asked, “What does that mean?”

Leia directly began to reveal Elvi’s true nature.

It was an answer that, in Su Li’s view, made perfect sense.

“The saying that Elvi is a war hyena on the battlefield is because she can always pinpoint the enemy’s weaknesses and ruthlessly penetrate them.”

“The dragon lady, who can always see others’ most feared aspects, will always grasp the possibilities others fear most in her hands on the battlefield.”

Su Li immediately understood what Leia was referring to.

The reason why Elvi had previously been confused by Su Li’s perspective from the Raven’s viewpoint was that a normal person in Su Li’s position, when dealing with high-level monster beasts that could destroy cities and countries at any time, would, for whatever reason, always include the destruction of cities and countries in their consideration.

As long as one truly did this, it meant that people with this kind of thinking would inevitably be under Elvi’s control.

If Su Li hadn’t jumped to considering the current situation from the perspective of the Raven as a purely villainous monster beast, then Su Li would have had a high probability of being pulled into the vortex of being controlled by Elvi.

Elvi was just as Leia said—she was a monster beast extremely skilled at targeting others’ weaknesses and holding those weaknesses in her hands.

If Su Li feared the destruction of the city and country and hadn’t thought of a solution to escape the situation, then Elvi would have become the truly crazy dragon who could destroy the Mercenary City and Amikbi at any time.

Although Su Li, now understanding the whole truth, knew that Elvi wouldn’t actually do this. But Elvi would definitely nail this concept firmly into the mind of a Su Li who had no way to break the deadlock, and make all his actions fall within the dragon’s control.

Ophelia also had this habit.

When Su Li previously evaluated Elvi as equal to three Ophelias, it was because he had already thought of this.

The “weakness” in Leia’s mouth didn’t refer to people’s obvious weaknesses, but rather what they feared most.

Ophelia was good at using the terrible possibilities that others didn’t want to see to exchange for her own benefits.

For instance, when she surrounded the Mercenary City, it was to ease her own situation—the grand princess was ultimately self-interested.

What Elvi excelled at was directly holding the terrible possibilities that others didn’t want to see in her own hands.

The dragon lady could at any time place the most fearful things that others didn’t want to see in front of them.

Thus leading those who didn’t want to accept to obediently listen to her.
