Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 116 Dominator, Nostrils, Angel
The sky shattered.

The boundless sky was shattered into pieces, creating a huge, dark hole.

The huge hole resembled a tunnel or a cave, but it was countless times larger than any tunnel or cave.

Like a dark sun that blots out the sky, it is about to descend upon this small world.

We must crush this little world to pieces.

An unparalleled sense of oppression emanated from that pitch-black hole, carrying with it an irresistible wave of despair.

The feeling that Xia Fa and the other two had was like...

A giant is looking down at ants!
Daponz's voice trembled, his entire body of fat jiggled uncontrollably, and his face was deathly pale.

"Hey, this, what is this?"

Old Terry shook his head, pressed down on his reindeer-skin hat, and his expression turned completely grim.

"Prepare your last words. There's no way to escape now. No, last words are useless. This little world... is going to be destroyed."

His voice was cold and hard, but with a hint of mockery, as if he were mocking himself, or perhaps mocking the fate that was toying with him.

Xia Fa narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the dark hole in the sky, a trace of horror rising in his heart.

Because at this moment, both he and the other two felt it very clearly.

That pitch-black hole wasn't a sight revealed after the sky shattered, but rather... part of the body of some creature of unimaginable size!

Such a massive creature tore open the sky of this small world, and the three of them weren't even demigods, and Xia Fa was just a mere insect-level superhuman. How could they possibly escape?
The pitch-black hole suddenly sank even lower, and this simple action caused the air to vibrate violently, even creating layers of sonic boom clouds around it.

As the white sonic boom cloud dissipated, everyone finally caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of that unimaginably enormous creature.

What they saw was that huge, dark hole—it was actually… a nostril!
That's right, it was the nostrils, because both Xia Fa and the other two could clearly see the skin-colored flesh of the nose next to the nostrils, as well as the pores and blackheads on the flesh!
If a single nostril spans the entire sky, how big must the creature itself be?

Although the sky was filled with nostrils, it did not darken in the slightest, even though the sun had disappeared.

Xia Fa understood that this was because the sun in this small desert world was fake, an illusion.

The heat and light in the desert are all formed by the "rules" of the small world itself, just like the environmental changes brought about by the formation of those rules when they were formed in the underground cave realm.

But precisely because of this, as the nostrils jutted out and light shone in, he saw an even more chilling scene.

Those were nasal hairs on the red inner wall of the nostrils, densely packed and covering the entire nostril.

No, those aren't nose hairs... they're tentacles!

The purplish-black tentacles, with white fangs protruding from them, swayed in unison on the red walls of the enormous nostrils, resembling seaweed or worms.

This is absolutely terrifying. It's unimaginable what kind of creature this is. Just looking inside its nostrils reveals a scene straight out of hell.

Just this one image is enough to make someone lose all reason and have their soul collapse.

"what!!!!!"

Old Terry suddenly screamed, covered his eyes, and knelt helplessly on the ground.

His eyes quickly turned white, and the veins on his face bulged, with streaks of blue and white light flowing through them, like colorful lights flickering in a neon tube.

Before Shafa and Daponz could react...

Old Terry's body collapsed.

It turned into a pile of rotten flesh.

Only a head wearing a deer skin hat remained, standing on the rotting flesh.

Even so, his features were still wrinkled like a crumpled piece of paper, and his expression was one of unbearable pain.

Shafa and Daponz were suddenly struck by a realization that they had made a fatal mistake.

The continuous tremors in the sky were so intense that no one could resist looking up, but by the time they did, it was too late.

Because the owner of those nostrils was clearly a being whose status far surpassed that of a demigod, even exceeding that of an angel.

It is highly likely... that he is a ruler!
Moreover, it is the master that reveals the form of the secret inscription!

The so-called inscribed form of the secret covenant refers to a "true form" possessed by those who have signed seven secret covenants to become demigods, or signed more secret covenants to become angels and rulers.

In that form, some superhuman beings' bodies become incredibly large, and certain parts of their bodies are inscribed with secret texts from the signed contracts.

Some extraordinary individuals will exhibit unusual phenomena, such as having multiple heads, arms, or tails. In such cases, their bodies may even be covered with pictures of the secret contracts they have signed.

Furthermore, it is said that there are even other, more bizarre, more terrifying, and even more incomprehensible forms of secret inscriptions.

In this state, although the risk of superhumans going out of control will be greatly increased, their various secret abilities will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced!

This is also why demigods can completely crush superhumans below the demigod level. It's not just about suppressing their rank and the level of their secret bond development; when necessary, they can even reveal the secret bond inscription form and crush lower-ranking beings with irresistible force!
Just now, the three of them... stared directly at a form that appeared to be a master with a secret inscription.

In this situation, they triggered an ironclad rule, an ironclad rule that no one in the supernatural realm dared to violate.

No! You must not! Look directly at! God!
The Overlord is already close to an Outer God. When it reveals its secret inscription form, just looking directly at its body can make a superhuman lose control!
Even without the need for a ruler, a demigod revealing the secret inscription form can cause lower-ranking superhumans to become confused or even lose control!
Xia Fa only realized what was happening belatedly, but fortunately, a strange current surged out from his coccyx and covered his cerebral cortex.

As for Daponz, something inside him seemed to shatter, producing a sound like a glass ball breaking, which actually helped him resist the loss of control caused by looking directly at the Sovereign's inscribed form.

But he was also pale, with large beads of sweat seeping from his forehead and running down his chubby white cheeks. He was almost exhausted and had already lowered his head, not daring to look up at the sky again.

But it didn't matter whether he looked or not, because the next moment, the nostrils finally moved.

A long exhale sound came from outside this small desert world, as if the owner of the nostrils was exhaling the breath from his chest.

Then... he suddenly inhaled through his nostrils!
With a single breath from the nostril, countless grains of sand rose from the ground in the boundless desert, flying towards the nostril that stretched across the entire sky.

It was as if the largest sandstorm had been unleashed, and in an instant, the sky and earth turned a dim yellow.

The yellow sand was sucked in through the nostrils and fell into the bottomless nasal cavity.

Immediately afterwards, the cactus trees in the desert, all sorts of animals and insects hidden in the sand, and even the few lakes scattered throughout the desert, all flew into the sky and towards the nostrils under the suction of the nostrils.

It was like being thrown into hell.

Xia Fa even saw a giant snake, a hundred meters long and covered with pale yellow scales, which was also suspended in the air with the sand, struggling weakly as it twisted its body.

It was clearly a supernatural creature lurking in the sand. Although they hadn't encountered it, they were about to be sucked away by its nostrils.

The irresistible suction finally enveloped Shafa, as well as Daponz beside him, and old Terry, who had been reduced to a mangled mess with only his head remaining.

Old Terry was the first to give in, and as the yellow sand flew into the sky, his features, which had been contorted by extreme pain, suddenly relaxed at that moment, as if he had briefly regained his senses.

But what followed was an expression of unparalleled terror in his eyes.

That kind of terror is something that anyone who sees it once will never forget. It is a hundred or a thousand times more terrifying than seeing the most terrifying thing in the world or coming into contact with the darkest things!
"No...no no!"

Before Old Terry could finish speaking, the pile of rotten flesh, already covered in yellow sand, even its mouth and nose, was instantly sent flying into the pitch-black nostrils in the air.

But neither Shafa nor Daponz had time to grieve for him.

Because, under the increasingly powerful suction, their bodies were lifted off the ground and flew towards the dark nostrils that stretched across the sky!
"dominate……"

With a flick of his sleeve, Xia Fa drew his tiger-tooth folding knife, and the burning sensation in his heart surged up completely, this time with a completely different intensity.

That burning sensation felt like it was about to leave my body!

It was as if... it wanted to completely envelop him, to set his body ablaze from the inside out!

Xia Fa gripped the ebony handle of the folding knife with one hand, and the steel balls inside the folding knife vibrated rapidly, emitting a joyful sound as if in the midst of battle.

With a thought, Xia Fa attempted to infuse the burning sensation within his body into the form of a three-meter-long horse-slaying sword.

No matter what the ruler's purpose is, even if he wasn't targeting him at all and was just taking care of him as an afterthought, he still had to strike. He absolutely could not sit idly by and wait to die!
Suddenly, everything stopped.

The yellow sand that had been rising from the ground stopped, the cacti and small animals that had been flying towards the nostrils stopped, and even the hundred-meter-long yellow-scaled giant snake stopped.

Shafa and Daponz's bodies in the air naturally came to a standstill.

Wisps of mist began to permeate everything in the desert, and in the blink of an eye, the mist became completely thick and heavy.

"Your Excellency, did you really have to choose the Fog Carnival? It's been over five thousand years, and you're the first one."

The Mist King's voice rang out, but it was very calm, even polite.

Then, Xia Fa saw all the mist condense into a mist hand that was exactly the same size as the nostril, and press it down towards the nostril.

The misty palm was covered with secret contracts, almost like talismans covering the entire hand.

Moreover, Xia Fa immediately recognized that although there were thousands upon thousands of these secret contracts, the secret texts and arrangements on many of them were exactly the same.

The sovereign signed nine secret contracts, meaning that these thousands upon thousands of secret contracts are countless copies of the nine secret contracts.

But Xia Fa had a vague feeling that something was wrong, because those secret contracts seemed to be more than nine kinds.

boom! ! !
Before he could think any further, the enormous, misty hand covered in secret contracts slammed down on the nostrils that stretched across the entire sky.

Then, the misty palm, along with the secret seal on it... all began to emit a dazzling white light, as if it was about to explode!
In that instant, Xia Fa and Dapanz were enveloped in wisps of mist, and extremely powerful spatial fluctuations surged around them.

Not only him, but also the fighters from other areas throughout the entire desert microcosm.

The next moment, all the fighters vanished, disappearing completely from this small desert world.

In the instant before it disappeared, Xia Fa only saw the misty palm crack open and emit an even more dazzling white light like it was about to explode from the cracks, as well as countless tentacles surging out of its nostrils.

……

The arena, inside the tunnel.

Xia Fa stumbled and appeared in the tunnel, nearly falling over.

Immediately afterward, Daponz and several other human fighters appeared out of thin air.

Apart from Xia Fa, everyone else was either terrified or horrified. As soon as they appeared in the tunnel, they immediately collapsed and sat down, or even lay down on the ground. Their chests were heaving, they were breathing heavily, and their faces were blank.

Only Daponz, struggling to sit down in the chair with his plump, white body, made the chair creak. Shafa, however, stood still, his eyes flickering as he recalled the scenes that had just unfolded.

The reason he immediately judged that the owner of the nostrils was a ruler, not a god, and certainly not an outer god, was because this small desert world was created by the Mist King, who was also a ruler, using a sealing artifact.

Although the sealed artifact was created using the remnants of the Outer God, the Mist of Silence of the Earth, and its remaining power, the small world created from it should not have reached the level of an Outer God.

In this situation, the being who is suspected to be the ruler took a full five strikes to break open the sky of this small world, so He can only be a ruler.

If it were an Outer God, the first blow would cause this small world to collapse and shatter without any suspense.

At the same time, Xia Fa remembered that when he looked up at the ruler, only a strange electric current surged from his spine, which could also serve as proof.

Xia Fa clearly remembered that when he faced the beheaded Outer God, dozens of electric currents surged from his spine.

Not to mention, when facing that unknown being resembling heavily armored cavalry, almost hundreds or thousands of electric currents, combined with the burning sensation in his heart meridian, rushed to his brain to protect his mind, preventing him from suffering a mental breakdown or losing control entirely.
In comparison, the highest-ranking, most terrifying, and most mysterious being he has encountered so far is still the massive, heavily armored cavalry, as towering and imposing as a mountain.

Moreover, there were not just one, but two unknown beings resembling heavily armored cavalry!
What exactly are they?
Composing himself, Xia Fa forced himself not to think too much and instead focused his gaze on the small world at the edge of the arena.

At this moment, the small world was completely shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Through the tunnel exit, he could see that the spectators in the stands all looked bewildered, completely unaware of what had just happened in the small world.

It seems that the moment the sky began to tremble and the giant nostrils appeared, the small world was shrouded in mist by the Mist King to prevent the audience, especially the many mortals or subhumans, from losing control after seeing it.

But the question is... why would the owner of that nostril, the ruler, do such a thing?
Xiafa wasn't sure if He was coming for him, because it didn't seem like it at all.

It's more like He wants to destroy this little world and everything in it.

Or perhaps, the suction of those nostrils is used to snatch someone away.

With this sovereign suddenly intervening, the last remaining piece of land in the land of gods, the wheat field, will likely be destroyed.

Fortunately, the potato fields he reclaimed, along with the hunting grounds Princess Victoria seized, were enough to help the refugees survive the famine.

Oh, right, Princess Victoria!
Xia Fa suddenly realized something.

That quiet little princess... actually wasn't teleported out with them!
Moreover, Prince Ariman and Lieutenant General Bedivere were nowhere to be seen in the tunnel. It was unknown whether they had left long ago or had only left in haste when the anomaly occurred in the small world.

click-

Click——!
From the center of the arena, in the direction of the small world, came a sound like ice shattering.

Xia Fa turned his head in astonishment and saw that the small world was covered with cracks.

It immediately shattered!
The moment the small world collapsed, it turned into mist and dissipated, causing no casualties.

Immediately afterwards, a huge ruby ​​fell out of the shattered little world.

Then, the Mist King's thousand-meter-tall figure also materialized.

He was missing an arm.

"Ladies and gentlemen, an unexpected situation has occurred. I will teleport you out now to avoid further casualties."

Before the audience could react, the Mist King waved his hand, and the entire ancient Roman-style arena was instantly filled with fog, so thick that one could not even see their own hand in front of their face.

Xia Fa was also enveloped in thick fog, but fortunately, in the last moment before he was teleported away, he vaguely saw Princess Victoria holding a teddy bear, sleeping peacefully in the ruby ​​the size of a house, fast asleep.

Clearly, although the attacker is a ruler, Princess Victoria's biological father, the current emperor of the Kingdom of Augu, is also a ruler.

As the ruler, it wouldn't be difficult for His Majesty the Emperor to bestow upon his daughter some means of survival when encountering other rulers.

……

The thick fog in front of him dissipated, and Xia Fa looked around and found himself in the square outside the Church of St. Vivian.

The square was still filled with stalls set up by the fog-loving people, and countless tourists came and went among them.

Xiafa even spotted tourists from the Giant and Blademen races.

Some giants were bending over in front of the stalls, haggling with the fogman vendors. This was not at all in keeping with their honest and simple appearance; on the contrary, they were quite shrewd.

Some Blade Masters quickly moved between the stalls, buying any metal they saw, and their eyes lit up when they saw extraordinary metals, as if they wanted to stuff money into the hands of the Fogman shopkeeper.

Recalling the terrifying scenes in the desert miniature world, and looking at the bustling and lively scene in the square now, Xia Fa felt as if he had been in another world.

"Xiafa!"

Chestnut's voice sounded from behind. Xia Fa turned around and saw the lovely rat girl walking over quickly with a worried look on her face.

"What happened? Are you...are you alright?"

Xia Fa shook his head:
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. As for what happened... I probably can't tell you for now."

He looked around but couldn't see the demigods like Tyrean, so he asked:

"By the way, where are your grandpa and the others?"

Chestnut lowered its head, its face pale, and its fluffy round ears drooped down.
"I don't know. We were watching the game just fine when suddenly the fog enveloped that little world, and then a group of very powerful fog people appeared and called Grandpa and the others away."

She suddenly raised her little head, her round ears perked up, and her large, clear eyes looked intently at Xia Fa:
"But no matter what, Xiafa, I'm just glad you're alright."

Xia Fa gave a faint smile to reassure her, then looked over her head toward the church.

Chestnut seemed to realize something then, and slapped its head in annoyance:

"Look at me, I've been so busy asking you questions. Come on, let's go to the church now."

Being in a church might temporarily shield you from the gaze or curses of unknown beings, or even remove them entirely. Now that such a major event has occurred, going to a church to cleanse your mind and body is naturally the best course of action.

Chestnut pulled Xiafa along, and they headed straight for the church.

Xia Fa had just sat down when a tall, lithe figure slipped in like the wind.

"Xia Fa, Xia Fa, are you alright?"

It was the doll girl Benedict. She seemed to have just been teleported out, but with an instinctive intuition, she rushed into the church and found Shafa.

Seeing the concern on her delicate face, Xia Fa couldn't help but smile slightly:
"Don't worry, it's okay."

Chestnut also comforted her, saying:

“Benise, I asked Shafa, and he just said he’s fine.”

Beneath breathed a sigh of relief and patted her small chest:
"That's good, that's good... I was really scared when that little world was suddenly covered by fog!"

Despite the many unforeseen events that had occurred, no one seemed to have suffered any harm, except for the demigods like Tyrene, who were apparently taken away by the Mist People for some unknown purpose.
So Xia Fa stood up and said:
"I'll go back first. Just call me if you need anything."

Chestnut nodded, because Xia Fa did not show any abnormal reactions after entering the church, which meant that this matter was most likely not aimed at him, and he was not being targeted.

"Okay! Be careful in everything you do."

Xia Fa nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then led Benedictine out of the church, through Daniel Street, which was a hundred times more bustling and lively than before, and back to his own little attic.

"Xia Fa, are you busy? Go ahead, I won't bother you."

As soon as she entered the house and closed the wooden door, Benedict spoke obediently.

In this situation, she behaved very sensibly, unlike before when she liked to pester Xia Fa with questions.

Xia Fa pursed his lips:

"I do have something to do, you can play by yourself for now."

Beneath nodded vigorously and answered in a clear, loud voice:
"it is good!"

Xia Fa turned around and went straight to his bedroom on the second floor.

With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out a large bottle of live iron powder from a black pouch shaped like a button on his collar. After infusing it with extraordinary power, he sprinkled it directly throughout the entire room without hesitation.

Immediately, he skillfully took out the yellow crystal and the piece of cast iron and sat down at the mahogany table.

He wants to have a divination performed.

Xia Fa had a guess that all of the ruler's actions, although they all seemed to be aimed at Princess Victoria or even the Mist King.

However, this could very well be the case that He is covering up some kind of truth.

A truth related to the Snow Demon's second loss of control and the demigod Pompeii!
That's right, that's his guess.

Otherwise, everything would be too much of a coincidence.

Ironically, right after he killed Bald and his son yesterday, today, at the Fog Carnival, which has been held for over five thousand years without any problems, a being of the Overlord rank suddenly attacked.

Moreover, although he appears to be after Princess Victoria, she is His Majesty the Emperor's only daughter. How could he possibly succeed so easily?

Therefore, one may appear to be the one caught in an undeserved disaster, but in reality, the opposite may be true.

There's a strong possibility that the ruler's goal is himself!

But Xia Fa wasn't entirely sure.

There is only one way to determine whether or not to.

He planned to perform another divination for Pompeii.

The process of skillfully arranging the citrine, skillfully inscribing the secret text with iron powder, and even imagining the strange electric currents emanating from the spine by those high-ranking beings, all went much more smoothly this time.

Once again, using a strange electric current to mix with living iron powder, the full name of the demigod Pompeii was inscribed and then injected into the citrine.

boom! ! !
This time, the citrine suddenly exploded, but it wasn't a failed divination. Instead, it violently pulled Shafa into the divination's image.

It was the same familiar basement, still littered with the corpses of refugees.

But then, Xia Fa saw something he never expected.
