Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 120 The entity truly lives up to its name!

The putrid worms are a kind of monster that the giants of Dak are most disgusted by.

This is not because the putrefied insects are so powerful, but because... whether they are alive or killed, the putrefied insects pollute the surrounding environment!
It will especially pollute water sources in the environment!
These putrid worms didn't come earlier or later, but chose this exact moment, and right beside the "God-given Lake," which was of paramount importance to the giants.

Even though Giant King Giant is the ruler, he cannot completely isolate the pollution. If the venom or gas from the putrid insects touches even a tiny bit of the lake water, it will be disastrous. The entire ten million acres of the giant lake will become highly poisonous and undrinkable!
The other giants were clearly aware of this fact as well, and some of them even began to show signs of despair.

Suddenly, everyone seemed to realize something and involuntarily looked toward the blurry figure beside the golden round table.

Yes! The Glutton is here!
The power of physical entities is virtually limitless; this is a fact known to all humans and demi-humans throughout the universe!

Now that Lord Gluttony, a being friendly to the giants, is here, what is there to fear about the corrupt insects polluting the God-given Lake?
Immediately, everyone recalled the incredible, almost miraculous, legends about the entities.

Veronica, the chieftain of all poisons, led her army of holy poison bees and wiped out all the wandering monsters in the Thorn Abyss of Dark Star in one night, bringing decades of peace to the giants, until now.

The storyteller once easily "erased" an entire planet along with its hidden heretical organization, simply because the leader of that organization refused to answer the questions in his story. This was the battle that made this entity famous, and it almost caused a sensation throughout the entire universe at the time.

The Wall of Flesh and Blood... This is an entity that is extremely hostile to both humans and demi-humans. Whenever the Wall of Flesh and Blood appears, it will advance unstoppably, devouring any city and the creatures within it that dare to stand in its way.

Even the ruler cannot withstand it.

And now, these decaying, poisonous insects, of all times, have awakened, and just happened to run into the physical form of Lord Gluttony…

After the initial panic and anger, both Giant King Giant and the common giants felt a sense of satisfaction at the prospect of revenge and a desire to watch the show unfold.

A gluttonous lord has made his move, rotten poisonous insects?

Even if the god of poisonous insects came, he might not be able to do anything!
Just as I was thinking this, a kilometer away, the land seemed to have been completely "cracked" open.

Countless rotten, poisonous insects crawled out, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

These decaying, poisonous insects, some enormous like chariots, with eight barbed legs, were rapidly crawling toward the divinely bestowed lake.

Some resembled enlarged mosquitoes, reaching several meters in size, flapping their translucent wings with black stripes, and charging towards the divinely bestowed lake in a frenzied manner.

Whether crawling on the ground or flying in the air, the decaying poisonous insects were all shrouded in a thick green poisonous mist. The surrounding land, once touched by the mist, was quickly corrupted into a refreshing green.

Even their translucent bodies are filled to the brim with green venom, which sways constantly as they crawl and fly, giving the impression that they could explode at any moment.

But, it wouldn't be so bad if there were only these two kinds of rotten poisonous insects. The key thing is that... there are at least hundreds of types of rotten poisonous insects that crawl out of the ground!
Some resemble flies but have transparent shells; some resemble scorpions but have extremely long stingers; some resemble moths but have mouthparts as sharp as needles…

In addition, there is a nearly transparent, rice-grain-sized, putrid poisonous insect that is moving towards the God-given Lake by teleporting!

The instant they appeared, thousands upon thousands of decaying, poisonous insects scattered and swarmed towards the divinely bestowed lake.

This is how they reproduce and thrive. Once they can pollute the environment on a large scale, they don't need to reproduce; they can continuously generate all sorts of new decaying and poisonous insects in the polluted environment.

Xia Fa also felt a rustling sound coming from deep within the earth beneath his feet. It seemed that there were many decaying and poisonous insects that were good at burrowing and digging. Through the tremors, he also judged that they were rushing towards the God-given Lake.

"It's exactly as described in the intelligence report... The rotten insects love beautiful scenery the most."

Xia Fa had seen this infamous yet extremely difficult-to-deal-with strange creature in "Secret Texts and Divination," because the shells of certain types of decaying insects could be used as materials to carry cryptic texts for divination and secret exploration, with unexpected effects.

So, the book also briefly introduced this strange phenomenon.

As a bizarre and venomous creature, the most distinctive feature of the decaying insect is its ability to ignore all protective measures.

Indeed, whether it's the most common walls, iron shields, cloth covers, or the barriers, light shields, confinement, etc. that superhumans can use, none of them can stop the footsteps of the decaying poisonous insects.

In addition, once a water source or field is contaminated by decaying poisonous insects, even if it is only a little bit, it cannot be removed. The entire field or water source will become highly poisonous, and only extraordinary beings of demigod level or above will be safe from drinking it.

Even though Giant King Giant is a ruler who can destroy a kingdom in an instant, he cannot defend against such a strange creature. Although he can kill it, if even one of them is missed—especially that semi-transparent, rotten, poisonous insect that can teleport—then the God-given Lake will be completely ruined.

At that time, we can only pray to the nine righteous gods to bestow true divine gifts for purification.

But how is this possible?

If the nine great gods were willing to respond to prayers, the giants wouldn't need to wait for the Fog Carnival. They could simply pray to the "Nature Lord" as recorded in history, offering him various flowers and fruits that he favored, and he could instantly create thousands upon thousands of lakes of all sizes across the entire planet Dark.

Even more, it could create the ocean!
It is precisely because prayers to the nine righteous gods have rarely been answered over the past ten thousand years that everyone is so overjoyed after receiving the divinely bestowed lake.

……

Swarms of decaying, venomous insects, their numbers almost incalculable, were charging toward the divinely bestowed lake with a desperate, all-out assault, as if determined to destroy it all.

Fortunately, there is someone like you, the glutton!

The giants felt increasingly reassured as they thought about it, and some even picked up the giant race's special pineapple wine, drinking it with great interest as they watched how the Glutton would deal with these wretched, rotten insects.

Even the giant king Giant was quite relaxed, and even picked up a huge leg of lamb, gnawing on it as he sat down.

At that moment, the Glutton stopped eating at the golden round table and, with great elegance and composure, turned to face the overwhelming army of decaying poisonous insects.

……

At this moment, Xia Fa felt both panicked and resentful.

His panic stemmed from the fact that he couldn't use his ability to randomly freeload meals to leave. Standing up was useless; not only had it failed before, but he had tried again.

Yes, he has stood up again, facing the overwhelming army of decaying, poisonous insects.

But he remained standing in the same spot, still standing beside the golden round table.

Of course, he wasn't planning to escape; he just wanted to see if he could teleport away again, since he still needed to keep his life if he failed to resist.

As for the resentment, it is of course due to... this army of rotten, poisonous insects is about to destroy the divinely bestowed lake.

These weird things, these damn weird things, are always like this, always seeming to deliberately antagonize humans and demi-humans.

Moreover, this time, it is the giant civilians of Planet Dark who are about to suffer losses and even fall into despair!
Giants and humans have always had a very friendly relationship. Xia Fa even got two meals off the giant royal family and a plate of crystal dragon grouper for free. He didn't want to see such a thing happen.

Xia Fa clenched his fists, almost wanting to use the Silver Throne at all costs, but he held back.

The main point is that if the goal is to preserve the God-given Lake, no means are of any use now.

He was only an insect-level superhuman. Even if he used the burning sensation in his body, plus the sealing artifact that resembled a horse-slaying sword, he could defeat enemies of the whale level, but he was facing an army of tens of thousands of unstoppable decaying poisonous insects!
In particular, there are many rotten and poisonous insects with extremely strange abilities.

In fact, it's not just on the ground, but also in the sky, and now it's even in the soil.

"Is there no other way...?"

To be honest, Xia Fa no longer cared whether his disguised identity was exposed; all he wanted now was to stop this army of rotten, poisonous insects.

"Is there really no other way..."

Xia Fa pondered, should he lure the rotting, poisonous insects away? No use; they were after the sweet waters of the God-given Lake, not people.

To move the God-given Lake to another part of this planet?

It's no use; he hasn't signed any secret contracts related to space, nor does he currently have the ability to do so.

The Gate of Stars, this supreme-level secret agreement, sounds like it could be done, but he hasn't signed it yet.

Otherwise, he would try to distract himself even if it meant exhausting his energy and feeling an excessive burning sensation in his body.

How could the Giant King Giant, the ruler, transfer the God-given Lake?
It's no use. There's no doubt that although Giant King Giant is the ruler, and rulers do have the ability to move an entire God-given Lake... the prerequisite is that a spatial type secret contract is signed, and the development must be powerful enough.

Giant King Giant probably didn't sign any spatial-type secret agreements, otherwise He would have moved long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.

Keep in mind that every extra second you wait carries a risk, especially when facing those transparent, venomous insects that can teleport.

Xia Fa's brain was racing, trying to come up with a solution, but he rejected them one by one.

And that overwhelming army of decaying, poisonous insects is getting closer and closer.

Nine hundred meters...

700 meters...

Five hundred meters...

This caused even the Giant King Giant and the more than three hundred giants to slightly change their expressions.

Lord Glutton... why haven't you made a move yet?
However, their worry was only momentary. Remembering that Lord Gluttony was a physical being, and that no physical being was weak, they were all reassured. Putting everything else aside, just seeing Lord Gluttony standing steadfastly before the golden round table, facing the army of decaying venomous insects, made it clear that nothing would go wrong.

This incredibly mysterious and powerful entity will definitely make a move!

Giant King Giant was the one among all the giants who believed most in Lord Gluttony.

No one could understand the power of Lord Gluttony better than Him. The moment this entity appeared, it could instantly calm the manic and out-of-control urges in His mind. What was it to deal with mere rotten insects?
The army of decaying, poisonous insects was still closing in. The air was filled with the deafening sound of densely flapping wings, the ground was filled with the sound of solid clods of soil and rocks being constantly drilled through, and the ground was filled with the sounds of countless shells colliding and insect legs crawling.

Five hundred meters...

Four hundred meters...

Three hundred meters...

Suddenly, just as the decaying, poisonous insects were only three hundred meters from the God-given Lake and a little over two hundred meters from the giant civilians,
All the decaying, poisonous insects, whether in the sky, on the ground, or on the surface, were... completely still!

That's right, it's as if the space around them is confined, or as if their time has been stopped.

In short, all the decaying and poisonous insects stopped at once, and even their flapping wings froze in mid-air in a way that was just about to unfold!

Giant King Giant, whose body was over seven meters tall, trembled and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The giants and civilians were stunned, as if they had witnessed a miracle.

This is... such an unimaginable method?!
Even the giant with the least knowledge of mysticism could see that this method of pausing and freezing everything was far superior in rank to the gourmet's "cooking," the fanatical tomb raider's "knocking," and the puppeteer's "manipulation"!

Perhaps only the "erasure" of story answerers can compare to it!
However, neither the Giant King Giant nor the more than three hundred giants knew that at this moment, the one who was most shocked was actually Shafa.

Xia Fa stood firmly on the earth, with the divinely bestowed lake behind him and the parched, cracked land and a vast army of decaying, poisonous insects that blotted out the sky in front of him.

But now, that army of decaying, poisonous insects has come to a standstill, unable to move even a little bit.

What on earth... happened?
Just as he was filled with doubt, a strange change suddenly occurred!
All that could be seen were the rotting, poisonous insects shaped like mosquitoes, spiders, flies, moths, scorpions, and all sorts of other shapes and sizes... even the tiny, transparent worms. Regardless of size, their bodies trembled slightly, and their eyes revealed human-like pain.

Immediately, a clear line of blood or a crack appeared on their necks.

Immediately afterwards, the heads of all the rotting, poisonous insects... fell off!

boom--!
Almost the instant they were beheaded, their bodies burst into intense and terrifying black flames!

The black flames seemed capable of burning everything, even the green poisonous mist surrounding the decaying insects began to burn along with them!

From deep within the earth beneath their feet, the sound of flames rising could be heard, and the stench of burning permeated the air.

Xia Fa understood that these must have been the same worm-like, decaying, poisonous insects that had been beheaded and burned by black flames.

However, this familiar scene suddenly reminded him of something.

Burning city buildings...

The giant jawed beast, howling and fleeing...

Round heads rolling all over the ground...

And then there was that unknown being who, with a single, casual swing of his great axe, easily beheaded over a hundred thousand giant jaw beasts... a heavily armored cavalry-like figure!

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Xia Fa suddenly realized that he could "see".

Indeed, just a kilometer away, under the blazing sun, a heavily armored cavalryman, his body larger than a mountain, was sheathing his golden halberd, which he had just swung, and slowly turned around.
Its gaze, filled with a certain observation, casually swept over Shafa, then over the giants behind Shafa, and finally, even deliberately lingered on the giant king Giant for a moment.

But apart from Shaphat, neither the Giant King Giant, the ruler, nor any other giants could "see" it.

Immediately, it withdrew its gaze, and the armored warhorse beneath its feet took a step forward, its figure disappearing into thin air completely.

“It’s this…”

Xiafa recognized him; he was the second heavy armored cavalryman to appear in the civilization established by the Giant Jaw Beast.

At that time, it was this heavily armored cavalryman carrying the golden halberd who patted the shoulder of the heavily armored cavalryman carrying the golden giant axe, which made the heavily armored cavalryman carrying the golden giant axe give up his gaze and leave with the head of the Outer God.

It was this heavily armored cavalryman carrying the golden halberd who seemed to be able to restrain and control his supreme power, comparable to the nine great gods, so that his gaze would not affect weaker creatures.

Now, it has reappeared, and it has actually appeared on Planet Dark!

Moreover, it seems... it came specifically to get rid of this overwhelming swarm of rotten, poisonous insects!

Once the problem is solved, they leave immediately, without even lingering for a moment.

At this moment, fear and curiosity rose in Xia Fa's heart at the same time.

The fear was naturally a fear of the extremely powerful and utterly irresistible tactics displayed by this heavily armored cavalryman carrying a golden halberd.

Ignoring space and time, and even quantity, it easily beheaded all the rotten and poisonous insects, and then burned them clean with black flames.

What if this method were used on myself one day?

What if it were used on humans and demi-humans?
As for curiosity, Xia Fa was curious about these two unknown beings who looked like heavily armored cavalrymen...it seemed...they had a grudge against the strange beings?
First, they directly destroyed an entire bizarre civilization built by the giant jaw beasts, and then beheaded the Outer God they worshipped.

And now, they have directly wiped out this army of rotten and venomous insects that cause endless harm.

Why are they so fixated on the bizarre?

But whatever the reason, at least for now, this is a good thing.

Because the bizarre is also the mortal enemy of both humans and demi-humans.

If it weren't for the gaze of this unknown being resembling a heavily armored cavalryman, who scrutinized him and the giants, making Xia Fa feel extremely uneasy...

Pat, pat, pat!

Suddenly, one after another, rotten poisonous insects, burned to pieces with their empty shells, fell to the ground.

The pervasive green toxic fog had long since been completely burned away, and the air even carried a hint of freshness and moisture.

Immediately afterwards, a sea of ​​cheers and praises erupted from behind Xia Fa!

"Destroyed...it really was destroyed! So this is Lord Gluttony!"

"That's incredible! It's practically divine power!"

"Truly worthy of being a physical entity!"

"Haha, these rotten poisonous insects didn't expect this, did they? They've been sleeping underground for hundreds or thousands of years, and the first thing they do when they come out is run into Lord Gluttony. Hahaha, serves them right!"

"Your Excellency Glutton, from this day forward, you are like the Silent Mist of the Earth, a benefactor of our planet Dark!"

"Yes! We will sculpt a statue for you! Just like we sculpted a statue for the Silent Fog of the Earth!"

"Praise be to the Lord! Praise be to our ancestors! Praise be to the silent fog of the earth! Praise be to you, Glutton!"

"Praise the Lord! Praise the glutton!"

The giants knelt on the ground almost willingly, clasped their hands together to express their piety to the gluttons, and excitedly kissed the earth, thankful that the divine lake had not been polluted.

Giant King Giant's eyes welled up with tears. This was the first time he had been so moved since becoming the ruler, both for the sake of his people being able to continue to enjoy the waters of the lake bestowed by the gods, and for Lord Glutton's righteous act.

He thought for a moment, then with a wave of his hand, summoned a capable attendant, whispered a few words to him, and sent him to fetch a gift to thank Lord Glutton.

Hearing the words of thanks and praise behind him, Xia Fa was momentarily taken aback, but then he shook his head with a smile.

In any case, at least we didn't lose anything this time.

He sat down again, preparing to finish the small plate of roasted lamb he hadn't finished.

But as soon as he sat down, his spiritual intuition gave him a premonition that... he could return at any time by standing up!
Before he could investigate further, the giant king Giant approached respectfully, carrying a gift.

"This……"

Xia Fa was a little embarrassed. "Giving you gifts again?"
