The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 13 - A Shattered First Time

In the end, Mark carried Su Li on his back and single-handedly incapacitated everyone in the base.

Afterwards, he carefully placed the person on his back on the ground.

Su Li, seeing the hateful glares from those people, shook his head and said, “This, my friends, is called ‘as long as you don’t give up on fate, fate will always stand by your side.'”

After all, he never expected that his made-up stories would align so closely with reality.

No, it could be said that they completely matched reality.

The people in Mark’s organization had previously been utterly defeated by their strongest member, Mark himself, in a one-sided battle that left them lying on the ground, unable to even crawl.

During this process, Su Li had the privilege of witnessing the terrifying nature of elementalist combat firsthand.

They weren’t like the stationary mages in games, just standing still. Instead, they constantly used powerful physical techniques, clashing in close combat while unleashing unexpected elemental attacks. The danger, coupled with the various colored lights flashing as elements condensed, overwhelmed Su Li’s dynamic vision.

That kind of strength, capable of creating sonic booms with a punch…

As expected of a world where everyone is a building-kicking gorilla!

But even among gorillas, there were differences. Mark proved to be no ordinary gorilla.

Not only did he single-handedly incapacitate more than a dozen people, but he also only suffered a small finger-length scratch on his face.

Compared to those lying on the ground, groaning in pain and unable to stand, Su Li sincerely thanked the goddess of fate, whose existence he wasn’t even sure of.

If it weren’t for his wild guesses matching reality, he would have been the one beaten to this state…

Su Li lowered his eyes.

Those who had been beaten by Mark but still had the strength to speak were shouting angrily, “How can a useless waste like you be here!”

Another personal attack.

Su Li no longer wanted to think about how many times he had been called “useless” by different people since coming to this world.

Honestly, even stamp collecting wasn’t this intense.

“Useless this, useless that. When I can still move, and you can’t even budge, doesn’t that make you worse than useless?” Su Li, slightly annoyed, picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it at the head of the person insulting him.

As a result, the person was unharmed, but the stone shattered…

Well then.

Rather than calling them all gorillas, it’s more like a monster concentration camp.

Just as Su Li was about to command Mark, who had been (?) impressed by his wisdom, to have someone take him home, Egbert arrived, backlit.

Even though he noticed Su Li, who didn’t have a speck of dust on him, it didn’t stop Egbert from walking up to the group of people Mark had already beaten and launching another attack.

“Useless?” Egbert sneered as he punched the face of the one who had been shouting the loudest.

Teeth and blood flew.

The Son of Light, who once made it his duty to protect others, ignored this and said coldly, “If elements defined everything, you should obediently kneel down now, listen to me, and quietly die.”

Egbert emphasized the last few words heavily. After learning about Su Li’s kidnapping and using forbidden techniques to recreate the scene, a fire had ignited in Egbert’s heart.

It wasn’t just about wanting to burn away everyone who had laid hands on Su Li, but also a desire to torment himself.

It was a fact that Su Li was kidnapped because he was useless. If he had been stronger, he could have used elemental fluctuations to constantly monitor Su Li’s situation.

Ultimately, this incident was less of an accident and more a result of his one-sided negligence in training.

However, even as Egbert continued to reflect on his mistakes, he didn’t immediately kill those fools in his rising anger.

This wasn’t because of any remaining light in the Son of Light, but because he knew that killing enemies was the most useless form of revenge.

After Egbert beat those who had dared to call Su Li useless until they couldn’t even speak, Su Li saw him immediately rush to his side, holding his shoulders and trembling constantly.

Judging from his actions of beating people first instead of checking on him, Su Li pondered whether Egbert had fully embraced the idea that “as long as you eliminate those who create danger, you can keep the people you care about in a safe zone.”

Thoughts aside, he still needed to offer verbal comfort.

“I’m fine, you don’t need to worry,” Su Li said, taking out the bread he had been carrying in his pocket. He held it up to Egbert with both hands and said very seriously, “Look, I even bought our main course for tonight. It’s just that I’ve taken a few bites out of it, and it might have gotten a bit dusty, so I guess we probably can’t eat it now.”

Su Li was a bit troubled.

This was the first thing he had bought with his first earnings in this world. Rounding it up, it was practically his first time!

Yet this first time had fallen to the ground, had its crust broken, and was covered in dust…

When Euphia arrived with her people along with the Lion’s Club members, what they saw was Egbert trembling all over while supporting Su Li’s shoulders.

She didn’t see Egbert’s face, only thinking he was trembling because Su Li had been hurt, rather than rejoicing that Su Li hadn’t been harmed. She wanted to scold him, saying “Is bread more important than you!” or “Those things aren’t worth worrying about at all,” but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. Instead, she just held Su Li’s shoulder, trembling with anger herself.

Euphia concluded that Su Li was injured. As soon as she reached this conclusion, she unleashed another barrage of attacks on the group of people who couldn’t even speak, delivering a second round of punishment.

The people who barely had any life left in them now only had 0.1 breath remaining. It was the kind of state where the slightest movement could send them to meet the God of Light on the spot.

As for Mark, who had been watching the whole time: !

Indeed, what that young man said was right! If he hadn’t listened to him, he would probably be facing a situation where he’d be surrounded and killed by people from several organizations…

The group of people who had been beaten to within an inch of their lives thought inwardly: I #&***!

They were speechless.

“What’s going on here?” asked the leader of the Lion’s Club, as Euphia patted the dust off her hands to signal the end of the one-sided battle.

He looked like a very serious man, appearing to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with strong features, fierce yet with a hint of steadiness.

Not long ago, when Euphia had aggressively brought people to confront them, the Lion’s Club leader initially thought Euphia was planning to wage an all-out war.

But before he could even test the waters, Euphia had thrown the news of her important person being kidnapped right in his face.

After a brief exchange, one side confirmed they hadn’t kidnapped Su Li, while the other realized someone was trying to kidnap their person and frame them for it.

Heaven knows, when Euphia learned of Su Li’s kidnapping, she immediately went to investigate the kidnapping location. She discovered Egbert’s message saying the kidnappers wore the Lion’s Club emblem. Euphia worried that the Lion’s Club leader, frustrated by his recent losses in their conflicts, might be venting his anger by killing someone close to her.

Fortunately, some rationality remained amidst the panic. Since the other party denied involvement, Euphia directly brought her people along.

But now, when the Lion’s Club leader asked what was going on, no one was willing to answer.

Egbert simply didn’t want to deal with it, Euphia was only concerned about whether Su Li had truly suffered any serious injuries, and Cyril, after stumbling to Su Li’s side and confirming his safety, suddenly felt weak in the knees and sat straight down on the ground.

Mark, the only one present who knew the detailed situation, had to explain the entire course of events when no one else responded to the Lion’s Club leader’s question.

He particularly emphasized that shortly after he kidnapped Su Li, the boy had deduced most of what had happened to him with remarkable accuracy.

Mark spoke with a blank expression. “If it weren’t for this child, I think I would be no different from those people lying on the ground right now.”

A fate worse than death.

Before Egbert took action, no one would have thought that light elements could be used to completely obscure others’ vision, instantly rendering people who could previously judge their surroundings “blind.”

Those people couldn’t predict where Egbert’s next attack would come from, resulting in both mental and physical damage being maximized.

Hearing Mark’s words, Egbert gave a cold laugh, then said in an eerie tone. “I would only guarantee that you’d suffer ten times worse than them. For someone like you, being hanged on the gallows or slowly burned to ashes wouldn’t be enough to atone for your sins.”

The scenes of the forbidden technique reappearing, the blood-stained dagger pressing against Su Li’s back, and Su Li’s piggy bank and notebook falling straight to the ground kept flashing before his eyes like a haunting vision.

Yet ironically, the culprit, under Su Li’s guidance, not only didn’t harm him but even solved the problem of those truly plotting in the shadows.

This made Egbert’s emotions too complex to calculate.

If he hadn’t seen Su Li standing there unharmed, and personally confirmed this fact, Egbert would have immediately decapitated Mark the moment he admitted to being the kidnapper.

For someone who had been hunted and had their faith shattered, meeting Su Li was never an act of active rescue on the youth’s part.

Su Li had never hidden his dislike for trouble.

Being hired, recognizing that the other person possessed a special value indiscernible to the ignorant, and viewing that person as his world… these were all Egbert’s one-sided determinations.

But when someone tried to destroy his world—

He would, like a venomous snake locked onto its prey, never give up until his last breath, until he completely killed his enemy.

Upon hearing another set of footsteps, Egbert dispelled the light elements that had been blinding the troublemakers.

He wanted everyone in Sadina City to know Su Li’s importance, to know that if anything happened to Su Li, all those involved would suffer a fate worse than death.

Then, the figures of Dean Asa and the Mercenary Alliance Guild Master appeared together.

Those who were lying on the ground with barely a breath left had no time to rejoice at regaining their sight. Upon seeing the two elders, they used their last ounce of strength to widen their eyes.

And then…

They fell into an endless darkness.

But before completely losing consciousness, these people had only one thought: Was the person they kidnapped a “useless nobody,” or some untouchable existence?
