Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 119 The Glutton...Does it truly possess physical strength?

Seeing that Shafa disappeared the moment he sat down in the chair, Benedict remained stunned for a while before trying to call his name.

"Xia Fa, Xia Fa?"

no response.

……

"Little idiot Xia Fa?"

Still no response.

……

"Xia Fa, the handsome guy?"

Still no response.

……

She waited a while longer, but seeing that Xia Fa still hadn't appeared from the chair, she tilted her head and started to ponder.

"Well……"

Suddenly, Benedict's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of a good idea.

Although she usually seems silly, Benedict always thought she was very smart.

For example, right now, she understands that after the upheaval of the Fog Carnival, church and government officials might come to investigate and question Xiafa at any time.

But he's not here now, and his secret of being able to randomly freeload meals obviously can't be exposed, so what should we do?

Benedict immediately decided to head out!
Then I wandered around the three nearby blocks: Daniel Street, Ezar Street, and Risle Street!
In this way, when people see her, they will immediately think that Xia Fa is probably out shopping, especially those who know that she is Xia Fa's doll girl, and understand that she must usually follow Xia Fa, or even be inseparable from Xia Fa.

In this way, officials or church personnel will not associate Xia Fa with teleporting to other places to freeload meals; they will only think that he is also wandering the streets and has just temporarily lost his doll girl.

In this way, they will search for Xiafa everywhere, which will buy them some time until Xiafa returns!

Beneath nodded secretly, a smug look creeping onto her face, feeling incredibly clever.

She immediately left the attic, locked the door, and began to pretend to go shopping.

……

Daxun.

Beside the "God-given Lake".

White smoke from the barbecue rose straight into the sky, and the aroma of roasted rock horned lamb filled the air, only to be diluted by the fresh steam rising from the lake.

The lake, covering a full ten million acres, is like a crystal-clear light blue gem, yet it ripples with a refreshing shimmer that would delight anyone who sees it.

At this moment, a 100-meter-long barbecue grill was set up by the lake, and on the grill was a giant rock horned sheep that was also 100 meters long.

The sheep was covered in salt and spices, and a dozen giants worked together to turn the grill on both sides, allowing the invisible heat from the earth's veins to slowly roast the sheep.

The giants chanted slogans, and although they were tired, their faces were filled with joy.

This is not only because we are about to eat this rare king of rock horned sheep, but also because of the ten million acres of lake that the giants won at this fog carnival!

The giant king, the old chieftain Giant, smiled broadly, his face crinkling with wrinkles, as he quietly watched his people roast the lamb.

Although as the ruler, it would have been easy for Him to roast a king of rock horned sheep, a creature the size of a whale, He did not choose to spoil this joy.

This joy belongs exclusively to the people, especially the common folk.

The Fog Carnival not only descended upon the human planet Caligi, but also upon the three small towns of the Augu Kingdom, and of course, upon the giant planet Dark and the Blade People's planet Iron Star.

Unlike the barbarians who generally lead abject, ascetic lives, the giants, especially the giant royalty, are quite wealthy.

Therefore, this time, because his grandson won this ten million-acre lake for the giants, the giant king Giant was so happy that he spent more than fifty thousand gold pounds to buy the king of the rock horned sheep from the great rancher of the mist people.

According to the large rancher of the Mistfolk, this is the king of the Rockhorn Sheep, which only appears once every hundred years, and it cannot be artificially bred; one can only wait for the Rockhorn Sheep to undergo a second mutation.

The Rockhorn Sheep is a supernatural creature that mutates from an ordinary goat. It takes two more mutations for a Rockhorn Sheep King to emerge, which shows how precious the Rockhorn Sheep King is.

Measuring a full hundred meters long and thirty meters high, with a chest as broad as a city wall built by giants... This king of the rock rams was enough to feed the more than three hundred commoners and several members of the giant royal family present. This was also the first group of giants that the giant king Giant was preparing to move here.

Moreover, the extraordinary power contained within the King of the Rockhorn Sheep is extremely concentrated, which is also beneficial to the bodies of the giant civilians. As descendants of the Titans, although the bloodlines of the giant civilians are extremely thin, they can still withstand the extraordinary power contained within several large pieces of flesh.

"The Blademen went a bit too far this time. Our giants and humans fought in good unison, at most knocking each other unconscious without killing them again. But the Blademen killed several of our giants and some humans. Fortunately, neither we nor the humans held back against the Blademen..."

As Giant King Giant looked at his grandson Terrathus, who was being hailed as a hero by the grill and among the crowd, he couldn't help but think of the other giants who had unfortunately perished in this battle.

He shook his head. The entire universe... or at least the Wright Starfield, had been at peace for too long. Moreover, during this Fog Carnival, the Giants had obtained the divine land they desired most. It was naturally impossible for them to rashly launch a war against the Blademen for this reason.

Moreover, he understood that it wasn't worth starting a war over such a trivial matter.

"Grandpa, it's almost done grilling, please come and cut the meat!"

Tratiss trotted up to Giant King Giant, his youthful face full of childishness and indescribable excitement.

This time, he won back the ten million acres of lake for the giants, and he enjoyed great glory. He was young and his greatest desire was to become a hero of his people. Now he can be said to have achieved success at a young age.

"it is good."

Giant King Giant responded kindly, putting aside his chaotic thoughts, and accepted the bone knife handed to him by his grandson.

But the moment he took the bone knife and gripped the stone hilt, a sudden surge of bloodlust arose in his heart, and the images of his clansmen who had died tragically at the hands of the Blade Man flashed through his mind once again.

This startled the Giant King Giant, who instantly snapped back to reality, his back nearly soaked with cold sweat.

Is this... another sign of me losing control?

The higher one's rank, the easier it is to lose control, and the more one needs an "anchor point" to stabilize oneself. This is a consensus among almost all demigods and above in the universe.

As the leader of Planet Dark and the king of the giants, Giant King Giant naturally had no shortage of anchors, but even so, signs of losing control still appeared again.

Looking back now, his inexplicable urge to start a war for the sake of a few sacrificed members of his tribe... was probably due to a loss of control over his mind.

Seeing his people staring at him expectantly, Giant King Giant had no choice but to suppress his rage and, holding his bone knife, walk toward the hundred-meter-long Rockhorn King.

Although no one has figured out what causes the superhumans to lose control, there are many ways to deal with it.

Besides the most important [anchor point], other methods include taking a sanity-stabilizing potion, or going to the Protoss Realm to find and hunt certain spiritual or dream-like Mystics and then consuming their cores.

But as the ruler, Giant King Giant knew that controlling his inner turmoil would be far more complicated and less effective, in short, extremely troublesome.

Just as He was about to discreetly distribute the meat to His people—a ritual performed only by the highest-ranking elder at any giant's celebration, and the highest honor—and was about to suppress His tendency to lose control,
Suddenly, the surrounding air seemed to become turbulent as if a large amount of electricity had surged through it, and garbled fluctuations appeared in the void.

Giant King Giant was taken aback at first, then his old eyes burst with wild joy!
This is... Lord Gluttony!
This incredibly mysterious and powerful entity has once again graced the land of giants!
Moreover, this was during such a significant celebration, when the giants were celebrating winning the "God-given Lake"!
At this moment, Giant King Giant was so excited that he almost wanted to kneel down before the Glutton and worship this entity.

After all, the appearance of this entity at such a special moment is of great significance, especially the message it can convey to the outside world.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence can tell what this really means!
Giant King Giant's gaze fell upon a golden round table carved with knife and axe patterns, located not far from the enormous, hundred-meter-long grill, and beside it, an exquisite pear wood chair with gold-inlaid armrests.

Both the golden round table and the pear wood chairs were a hundred times more exquisite and luxurious than the surrounding stone tables and chairs, but more importantly, they were also much smaller than the stone tables and chairs.

Those stone tables and chairs were, of course, for the giants to sit on; even the shortest chair had legs that were a full two meters high. But this golden round table and pear wood chairs were made according to human standards, and by comparison, they even seemed somewhat miniature.

On the round table was a plate of translucent meat strips, along with lemon leaves, perilla shreds, crushed peanuts, and other side dishes.

The transparent strips of meat are naturally the most popular food among the giants, the meat of forest slimes, but at this celebration, only this golden round table has a plate of transparent strips of meat, not even on the table of the giant king Giant.

This was actually Giant King Giant's little scheme. Based on the previous appearances of Lord Gluttony, everyone speculated that Lord Gluttony was the kind of entity that only appeared in specific environments.

As for what this specific environment is... it's naturally a table and chairs filled with food but empty!

When He had this luxurious and exquisite set of tables and chairs set up, He only had a tiny bit of hope and didn't dare to dream of it. But unexpectedly... Lord Glutton actually came!
The next moment, a blurry figure, seemingly wrapped in a mosaic, appeared beside the golden round table, seated on a pearwood chair.

Even as the surrounding air became chaotic, as if electricity were coursing through it, many giants had already guessed that it was likely the arrival of the noble and powerful Gluttonous One.

When they saw the Gluttonous One actually arrive, both the giant royalty and the giant commoners were overjoyed after a brief moment of stunned silence!
Without saying a word, they all bowed to the Glutton, some even kneeling in excitement.

After all, last time, Lord Glutton presented the giants with the great gift of "Titan's Starlight Blood," and accepted a return gift from Giant King Giant. Then the news spread throughout the Wright Starfield.

Even those secretive heretical organizations that roam the universe plundering have recently stopped daring to invade the giants.

This is the formidable reputation of Lord Gluttony in his physical form! It has already spread throughout the entire planet Dark!
Now that we have seen the Gluttonous One appear, how can we not be excited and happy?

"I'm going, what's going on?"

The moment Xia Fa realized he had teleported here, he understood that he had unconsciously activated his ability to randomly freeload a meal.

The first thing he saw was a whole roasted lamb, a hundred meters long, not far ahead, and he smelled an aroma that was dozens of times more enticing than that of roasted rock horn lamb.

Then he saw the giants around him bowing to him, some even kneeling.

I'm just here to freeload a meal, do I really need to make such a big fuss?
But he immediately realized that it was probably because of those few times he had been in the newspapers, or rather, because of his influence as an "entity".

But Xia Fa didn't have time to think further and immediately prepared to get up.

After all, he was in a special period and had to be investigated and questioned by officials or church personnel at any time. Even disappearing for a few seconds could expose his secret of randomly getting free meals.

Or at least, their sudden disappearance would arouse more suspicion and surveillance.

Upon realizing this, he stood up without hesitation.

But the next moment, Xia Fa was almost stunned.

The reason is that the method that had always worked before—that I could get back to where I started before getting the meal—didn't work this time!

Although he stood up, his figure was still blurry, as if it were covered by a mosaic, and he remained in the same place!
Seeing hundreds of giants staring at him expectantly, Shafa had no choice but to slightly extend his hands and raise them upwards to signal everyone to stand up, in order to cover up his strange behavior of suddenly standing up.

The giants indeed stood up one after another, in a manner reminiscent of ministers rising before an emperor.

Xia Fa felt helpless and slowly sat down.

He understood that the reason he had come to Dak Star again was mainly because he remembered roasted whole lamb, and the giants of Dak Star were roasting this giant roasted whole lamb that was hundreds of meters long.

In other words, it's fine for me to come here on my own.

But once they arrived, they couldn't leave. What exactly happened?
Fortunately, he now has the identity of a "physical entity" as a disguise, so he is not afraid of encountering any overt dangers, because almost no one dares to challenge a physical entity.

As long as the problem of not being able to go back is solved, that's fine.

"Please, please, no officials or church people, come looking for me at this time..."

As Xia Fa prayed in his heart, he suddenly seemed to sense something and turned his head to look.

It was none other than the giant king Giant, whom he had met once before and even seen in the newspaper. The old chieftain was slowly walking towards him, carrying a large plate of sliced ​​roasted mutton, which was almost piled up like a small mountain, with various seasonings placed next to it.

The giant king looked extremely devout, even a little fearful, as if afraid of offending him. He walked slower and slower, and his posture became more and more humble.

Finally, when he reached the table, he almost knelt down before respectfully placing the large plate of roasted mutton on the golden round table.

Xia Fa sat upright in his chair, gave the giant king a slight nod, and prepared to eat.

Although he didn't know why he couldn't teleport back, Xia Fa decided that since he had once again appeared in front of many people in a disguised physical form, it was better to continue to maintain the disguise.

Gluttons, gluttons, you can tell from the name that once they appear, they're there to eat!

He forked a piece of roasted lamb, put it directly into his mouth without dipping it in any sauce.

There's no way around it, this roasted mutton is just too fragrant, more fragrant than ever before, much more fragrant than the roasted rock horn mutton sold by the people of Wu.

Even though he had already eaten about half full, the aroma made him hungry again!
As soon as Xia Fa put the roasted lamb into his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Fortunately, the blurry mosaic covering his body prevented any giants from recognizing him.

"This smell..."

Xia Fa was amazed. With just a slight chew, the crispy, charred skin of the roasted mutton burst with oil, and the mutton juices were just right, perfectly relieving the greasiness of the oil and making the mutton extremely tender and smooth.

I really don't know if it's because the ingredients are good, or because the giants who still organize their civilization in a tribal way are naturally good at grilling, or both, that they can make it taste so good.

But this didn't stop Xia Fa from eating heartily; he immediately started eating one piece after another without stopping for a moment.

That intense, extraordinary power began to spread in his stomach, reaching every cell in his body.

……

At this moment, seeing Lord Glutton begin to pick up his knife and fork and eat the roasted meat of the Rockhorn King, Giant King Giant breathed a sigh of relief.

His enormous head bowed in absolute reverence and devotion as he slowly backed away.

No one knew the shock that surged within him like a collapsing mountain and a tsunami.

Just now, the moment Lord Glutton appeared... His frenzied, out-of-control rage subsided instantly!
Like a giant hand calming a raging sea, or like ice water extinguishing a raging fire, in short, the uncontrollable feeling in His heart not only subsided completely, but also disappeared without a trace!
This was the first time since Giant King Giant became the ruler that he felt so calm and his mind so stable, so stable that he felt he could explore those extremely dangerous areas of the universe!
Without a doubt, this was not due to psychological effects after seeing Lord Gluttony appear, or rather, Lord Gluttony's arrival surprised and delighted King Giant, which indeed diluted some of the sense of losing control.

However, this feeling of losing control has completely disappeared now, which is definitely not something that can be achieved by simple psychological effects!

"As a physical being, Lord Gluttony... is truly unfathomable..."

Giant King Giant sighed inwardly, his respect for Lord Gluttony rising even higher.

……

Xia Fa had no idea what the giant king was thinking at that moment.

Otherwise, if he knew, he would immediately think of the strange electric current at the base of his spine that helped him stabilize his mind and even resist the delirium of the Outer Gods.

He simply ate heartily, enjoying this rare delicacy.

But as they were eating, suddenly, not far ahead, about a kilometer away, the ground began to shake.

The parched, cracked earth suddenly broke open, and a hoarse, unpleasant "squeak" sound came from it, like the cry of some kind of giant insect.

The giants were all startled, their pupils dilating in terror. Some even dropped their knives and forks, but seemed not to have heard a thing.

Giant King Giant's wrinkled old face darkened completely.

"Rotten poisonous insects..."
