Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 100 Beast
boom! ! !
Without any warning or indication, the citrine shattered right in front of Xia Fa.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, spitting out the sharp shards of the citrine the instant they flew toward him.

Since signing the supreme-level secret contract of the Silver Throne, the "Mystic Living Silver" that had been circulating in his body along with his blood was spat out in a small clump. The moment this Mystic Living Silver left his mouth and teeth, it immediately turned pale red, becoming "Red Silver."

When the citrine shard was a few centimeters away from the red silver, it became sluggish at high speed, as if it had pierced into invisible, tough leather, and could not advance any further.

In the blink of an eye, the kinetic energy from the explosion dissipated, and the yellow crystal shards fell helplessly to the ground, making a clinking sound.

Xiafa opened his mouth and inhaled, and the red silver was transformed back into mystical living silver, seeping into his blood vessels along his throat.

Recalling what had just happened, he couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly useful the Silver Throne was as a supreme-level secret contract.

In the instant that crisis occurred, there was simply no time to mobilize the extraordinary power within his body, convert it into elemental power, and then generate a shield made of metal or stone. After all, he only had less than 0.1 seconds to react.

Only the mystical living silver in his blood vessels, obtained through signing the Silver Throne agreement, could be instantly expelled by him, transforming into red silver to block the attack.

This reminded Xia Fa of how he was able to sign a top-tier secret contract, the Gate of Stars.

If the Silver Throne is so useful, what about the Star Gate?
Thinking of the Gate of Stars, he immediately thought of the unknown object that Dick had asked for, and the demigod Pompeii who currently possessed that unknown object.

Xia Fa did not give up despite the explosion of the citrine, and immediately took out a third citrine.

However, he was starting to have some trouble.

Clearly, it's impossible for someone who's currently only an insect-level superhuman to try and divine the fate of a demigod.

In addition to the basic secret texts needed for divination of demigods, he also engraved Pompeii's full name, as well as the names of Pompeii's father and son, and even the names of Pompeii's deceased brothers and sisters in secret texts in order to make the divination as accurate as possible.

In this situation, the accuracy of divination can be greatly improved.

But Xia Fa never expected that the citrine would explode!

"what can we do about it……"

He pondered, holding the citrine between his index finger and thumb, and gently turning it.

Perhaps because he wanted to divine the fate of a demigod, he suddenly recalled the first time he encountered a demigod, namely Chestnut's grandfather, Tyrean.

"Have it!"

A light shone in Xia Fa's eyes.

When Tyrene emerged from the ritual circle, his demigod status brought immense pressure to everyone present, including himself.

That was the first time a strange electric current appeared at his coccyx, covering his cerebral cortex and directly counteracting the oppressive feeling.

Now... could we fuse that strange electric current into the iron powder and use it for divination?
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Excitedly, Xia Fa took out another piece of cast iron and placed it on the citrine.

He tried to recall his past experiences with various high-ranking beings, attempting to summon a strange current.

Unexpectedly, he actually succeeded. But when he recalled the beheaded Outer God kneeling before the Gate of Ancient Mithril, a strange current actually shot out from his spine.

But that's all he has left; he can't mobilize any more at the moment.

However, this was already enough to surprise Xia Fa. He immediately and carefully controlled the strange current, guiding it up his spine to his hand bones, then along his hand bones, all the way to his finger bones. Then, he stabilized the strange current, picked up a wisp of iron powder with his other hand, and began to inject extraordinary power into it, re-inscribing the secret text needed to divine Pompeii, the demigod.

Soon, all thirty inscriptions were completed, leaving only the last one representing Pompeii's name.

Xia Fa then switched hands, picking up the iron powder as well, and tried to force out the strange current and fuse it with the iron powder.

During the process, his breathing became shallow, and his heart pounded, fearing that something might go wrong.

There was no way around it. Ever since he learned that a demigod was behind the Snow Demon's second loss of control, Xia Fa had realized that regardless of whether Pompeii had been watching him before, they were definitely watching him now.

After all, Pompeii's initial plan was to lure away Lieutenant General Bedivere, then have the Snow Demon, which had gone out of control for the second time, descend outside Daniel Street, devour all the superhumans, including himself and even Chestnut Glenn Ellis, and then devour tens of thousands of people in several nearby blocks.

However, the snow demon that went out of control twice was killed by him with a single blow from Baal's Blade, which was tantamount to ruining Pompeii's long-planned scheme.

Xia Fa had no doubt that Pompey had only treated him as a stranger before, but after that incident, he must have already been thinking about killing him, but for some reason, he hadn't made a move yet.

Therefore, we must strike first!

If all else fails, after finding Pompeii, you can report it to the three demigods, Tyrene, Bedivere, and Axor.

With all three being demigods, how could they possibly lose against one?

However, he figured that if he did that, he wouldn't be able to get the item that Dictator wanted from Pompeii. So, Xia Fa decided to gather information about Pompeii first and then proceed slowly.

For example, after finding out what he really wanted to do, he would lure him into a trap, seriously injure him, and then come out to clean up the mess. He had already come up with hundreds of similar plans.

You don't necessarily have to wait until you become a demigod to kill Pompeii; you can do it now, provided you severely injure Pompeii.

Suddenly, Xia Fa felt a slight tingling sensation in his fingertips.

The next moment, he was surprised to find that the strange electric current really shot out and merged into the iron powder on his fingertips!

The iron powder underwent a transformation, changing from a shiny silver-gray to a dazzling pure gold. It then formed secret runes, permeated the iron sheet, and merged into the citrine.

Before Xia Fa could observe the changes closely, the yellow crystal trembled and suddenly transformed into a manor.

He himself transformed once again into a luminous sphere.

Xia Fa understood that the changes in the citrine were an illusion, but this meant... his divination had succeeded!
As an insect-level superhuman who had only signed two secret contracts, I actually managed to divine the existence of a demigod!
He felt as if he were actually in the manor, yet also as if separated from reality by countless layers of illusory curtains and mist.

Moreover, judging from the position of the sun in the sky, this must have happened several hours ago.

Suddenly, he felt himself, a glowing sphere, begin to fall straight down, crashing into a place deep underground where the manor was located.

It was a basement, which, according to his estimate, was almost two hundred meters below the surface.

Then, he saw Pompeii's figure in the basement for the first time.

And there were hundreds of corpses lying haphazardly on the ground at the foot of Pompeii.
