Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 128 The Silver Throne: Someone has signed the contract for the Silver Throne?

"Ho-"

"Ho-"

The giant stag with sharp teeth, which looked as if it were cast in steel, was panting heavily. It was clear that its injuries were so severe that it needed to inhale large amounts of oxygen every moment in order to barely repair its body.

Xia Fa's mind raced, trying to recall any information about the iron-cast giant deer.

Unfortunately, no.

This is clearly a unique supernatural creature that has evolved over tens of thousands of years in the "Mist Realm," and is not recorded in human occult books.

Even the mystical books about the Fog People that Xia Fa bought didn't seem to be there—of course, it's also possible that he just hadn't found them yet.

At this moment, Xia Fa truly understood what it meant to regret not having studied enough when you need it. He decided to go back tonight and read the occult books written by the Fog People, at least finishing the book "The Fog People's Occult Exploration Record".

But thinking about it now is useless. Xia Fa slowly retreated, and the moment his heel touched the inner wall of the tree core, it burned a large hole in it, allowing him to leave this half of the "tree prison" without any hindrance.

The giant iron-cast tusked deer did not move, but stared intently at him with its eyes that glowed red in the mist.

They were watching his every move.

Xia Fa had a feeling that if his tense body relaxed even slightly, or if he had turned around and fled just now, then this iron-cast fanged giant deer... would pounce on him and tear him apart!
Suddenly, the demigod-level supernatural creature sniffed with its shiny black nose, like a dog's nose, taking in all sorts of smells in the air.

Then, its blood-red eyes suddenly shone brightly!
"Ho-!"

After taking a deep breath of air, this demigod-level supernatural creature... pounced directly at Xia Fa!

Without a second thought, Xia Fa rolled to the left. As he rolled, thick walls of ice rose from the ground, and blue-white freezing air immediately spread out, separating him from the iron-cast, fanged giant deer.

This blocked the ferocious, bloodthirsty demigod-level supernatural creature for about 0.1 seconds. Then, a loud crashing sound came from above, the sound of the ice wall breaking, accompanied by ice chunks flying everywhere.

It smashed through all the ice walls with a single swing of its arm, and then pounced on Xia Fa!

Its red eyes glowed so brightly they were almost blinding, and a thick, bloody stench emanated from its enormous mouth, which was filled with jagged, sharp teeth. There were even faint traces of chains binding it, as if trying to completely seal off the space.

This is a full-force attack from a demigod-level supernatural being, aimed at biting off Xiafa's head or taking a piece of his body!
Xia Fa had just rolled to his feet and realized he had no time to dodge.

The giant deer's terrifying, sharp teeth and gaping maw had already snapped down.

Wow——!
A massive amount of mercury vapor erupted at this moment, instantly engulfing the surrounding area and even pushing away the fog.

In the thick steam, a three-meter-tall metal humanoid figure withstood the blow from the iron-cast, fanged giant deer with its arm and slowly rose to its feet.

The heavy mercury vapor quickly fell downwards, leaving the forest area clean and empty more than ever before.

In the bright red eyes of that giant iron-cast tusked deer, a figure that was both terrifying and holy was reflected.

The figure appeared to be cast entirely from mithril, with a broad back and a narrow waist, exhibiting extreme agility. Furthermore, every inch of its silvery-metallic muscles seemed to contain terrifying destructive and explosive power.

Its shoulders are covered with ferocious horns, and its elbows and knees have dangerous spikes. The moment its three-meter-long body appears, it is as if an ultimate majesty descends from the sky, enveloping the world.

The silver full-face armor lifted up, revealing a pair of eyes as black as charcoal, their gaze seeming about to ignite.

"Now--"

The three-meter-long metal humanoid opening emitted a booming sound, as if descending from the heavens, carrying an indescribable pressure.

"It's my turn."

boom! ! !
Suddenly, he threw a punch, slamming it hard into the abdomen of the iron-cast, fanged giant deer, directly hitting the wound that ran through its belly!

The demigod-level supernatural creature, in pain, hissed and released its grip on the three-meter-long metal humanoid forearm, then leaped backward at lightning speed.

Xia Fazhi stood up completely, his mithril-forged forearms covered with cone-shaped holes, some even penetrating wounds, with silver blood flowing down.

This was naturally caused by being bitten by this demigod-level supernatural creature.

But the next moment, a massive amount of silver steam erupted from his forearm, and a large amount of Rhine mercury was generated, which instantly healed his wound.

Xia Fa raised his eyes; at this moment, he was almost the same height as the iron-cast, fanged giant deer, and looked directly at it.

This demigod-level supernatural creature clearly hadn't expected things to develop this way. It had only intended to eat a superhuman to replenish its strength and slightly recover from its near-fatal injury.

Unexpectedly, this superhuman now poses a significant threat to it!

But at the same time, this demigod-level supernatural being also sensed a certain opportunity.

Of course, it had no concept of a supreme-level secret contract in its mind. It acted entirely on the instincts of a wild beast. It might have some intelligence normally, but in this critically injured and dying state, its mind was in chaos. It felt danger everywhere and relied purely on instinct to make judgments.

At this moment, its instincts, its spiritual intuition as a living being, strongly told it...

If I can kill this human who suddenly transformed and eat his silvery-metallic body, my injuries will be completely healed!
"Ouch!!!"

The iron-cast, tusked giant deer let out a strange roar, and steel chains appeared and disappeared around it, which seemed to be its innate talent as a demigod-level supernatural creature.

Xia Fa also noticed the chains that could imprison space. Just now, when this demigod-level supernatural creature attacked for the first time, its momentum was too strong, and there would be no benefit in directly confronting it, so he chose to dodge.

When it broke through the ice wall for the second time and launched its attack, it was extremely fierce, but it put all its strength into its bite.

In this situation, Xia Fa decisively chose to enter the Silver Throne state and blocked the attack.

He had prepared himself for his forearm to be bitten off, but now it seems that in his Silver Throne state, the defensive power of his body, forged from Rhine silver mercury, is far beyond his imagination!
Although this demigod-level supernatural creature was already severely injured and on the verge of death, it was far weaker than in its prime, and even a random human demigod could hunt it down immediately.

However, this was still a strike from a demigod!
In particular, this is a supernatural creature that excels in physical strength!
Under normal circumstances, even the strongest being among the whale-class wouldn't be able to withstand this attack!

At this moment, Xia Fa could only sigh in his heart, truly worthy of being a hegemon-level secret contract.

He increasingly understood why almost everyone he met held the Hegemon-level Secret Contract in such high regard, to the point of near-blind worship.

"How much is the extraordinary essence of this demigod-level supernatural creature worth? Its antlers, fangs, and fur should also be considered expensive and extraordinary materials, right?"

Having once again experienced the benefits of a Hegemon-level Secret Contract, Xia Fa naturally thought of the next Hegemon-level Secret Contract he was about to sign: the Gate of Stars.

And now, the gold pounds needed to purchase the Gate of Stars... are right in front of you!
boom!
Without hesitation, he stomped his foot hard on the ground, creating a huge crater in the muddy ground.

Using the recoil, he charged toward the iron-cast, fanged giant stag at an incredible speed!
Wow——!
A large amount of mercury vapor was ejected from the exhaust vents on his back, and immediately turned into starlight and dissipated. His speed exploded a second time, and he rushed to the iron-cast fanged giant deer in an almost instantaneous manner!
Star Silver Charge!

Countless silver-white claw-like rays formed a wall, instantly enveloping the demigod-level supernatural creature.

The three-meter-tall metal humanoid figure of Shafana appeared behind it and slowly turned around.

This scene involuntarily reminded him of when he killed Bald and his son. It was also very easy; he only needed to use the Star Silver Charge to turn Bald and his son into pieces.

But when Xia Fa turned around, he was stunned.

The giant iron-cast tusk deer was covered in long, narrow wounds and was dripping with blood, but it actually... withstood the attack!

Xia Fa narrowed his eyes slightly; the defensive power of this demigod-level supernatural creature was indeed far beyond his imagination.

Ho! Ho! Ho!
The iron-cast, tusked giant deer began to pant heavily again, desperately absorbing oxygen from the air, and its countless tiny wounds healed rapidly.

Its eyes glowed with an intense red light, so intense it sent chills down one's spine. It stared intently at Xia Fa, as if it hated him to the core, or as if it were eyeing a prey it desperately wanted.

Wow!
Suddenly, the sound of steel chains echoed through the air, almost deafening, as if the heavens and earth were shaking. High in the sky, a gigantic chain, nearly a thousand meters long, materialized and crashed down towards Xia Fa!
Without any warning, and if Xia Fa hadn't seen this iron-forged tusked giant deer use this ability before, he would have thought it was an attack from some other being!

Wait, there's more than one!
The sky suddenly darkened, and hundreds of chains, each a kilometer long, descended from the heavens, like a divine punishment, crashing down on Xia Fa's location with a loud crashing sound!
The giant iron-cast tusked deer seemed to have collapsed, and the intense red light in its eyes suddenly dimmed.

It seems that activating such extraordinary abilities is far too much of a burden for a creature already severely injured.

However, the advantage is obvious: no matter how majestic or terrifying the human in front of it becomes, it will absolutely not be able to withstand this attack!
Because it instinctively judged that this human was not a demigod!

Unless you're a demigod, it's extremely difficult to stop this innate ability of its!

Countless enormous chains crashed down, not only striking Xia Fa's location but also covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters around him, leaving him with nowhere to escape or avoid.

Dirt flew everywhere, countless towering ancient trees collapsed, and even in the center of the impact of the chains, the friction between these kilometer-long chains caused a burst of sparks and thick smoke.

The giant iron-cast tusk deer, panting heavily, dragged its heavily wounded and dying body toward the smoke.

In its imagination, that strange human should have been smashed into a pulp and mixed into the soil.

However, this does not prevent it from eating. As long as it eats the minced meat along with the dirt, its injuries will heal!
When the time comes, you can either hide or seek revenge on that hateful dragon cub!
But the next moment, the demigod-level supernatural creature froze.

As the smoke dissipated and sparks flew, a flowing, red, mercury-like dome stood firm and unshakeable.

This dome is three meters in diameter and is made entirely of flowing red mercury. It looks nothing like a creation of the mortal world, but more like the work of a god.

Red and Silver Imperial!

Inside the dome, the human, the human who had transformed into a three-meter-tall metal humanoid, was... completely unharmed!
He unleashed his innate ability, a full-force attack that drained almost all his strength. It was an attack that even a demigod couldn't withstand, yet... it didn't harm him in the slightest?
At this moment, fear was revealed for the first time in the eyes of this iron-cast, tusked giant stag.

But almost instantly, an immense sense of crisis enveloped it.

It was still unclear where the sense of crisis came from, but suddenly it saw the three-meter-tall metal humanoid open its arms and mouth as if roaring to the sky, and a large amount of hot silver liquid gushed out from its mouth, shoulders and wrists!
The silver liquid contained a terrifying aura, as if it could destroy everything. In an instant, it gathered together not far in front of him, forming... a flowing sphere of mercury!
beep--!
A thick column of mercury light, as thick as a water vat, erupted from the mercury sphere, sweeping across the ground with an irresistible force, moving from near to far towards the iron-cast, fanged giant deer!

Destroyed Silver!

The earth was ploughed into a deep trench, with solidified, destructive silver on both sides. The towering trees along the way were no match for it and were all snapped in half.

The mercury beam swept in front of the iron-cast fanged giant deer in an instant. Under the life-or-death crisis, its body suddenly collapsed into steel chains, which then reformed in the distance.

But it was no use. The thick, water-jar-like beam of mercury light changed direction, snapping countless towering trees in half, and then swept towards it again!
This time, it was too late to dodge and was almost swept in half by the scorching hot mercury beam, not much better off than those towering trees that had broken.

Fortunately, its powerful regenerative ability as a demigod-level supernatural being saved it once again. The scalding mercury on its body quickly solidified, and its almost broken body was forcibly "stitched back together" by the muscles in various parts of its body.

The next moment, its form disintegrated again into steel chains, which then coalesced in the far distance.

Then, it turned around and ran away without hesitation!
Ran……

Xia Fa stared in astonishment at the figure of the demigod-level supernatural creature fleeing in panic, almost unable to react.

What's the situation?
How could a mere insect-level being scare away a demigod?
Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Fa spewed out a large amount of mercury vapor from the densely packed exhaust vents on his back and immediately gave chase.

Just now, for the first time since signing the Silver Throne a few days ago, he used one of the five secret abilities he possessed: [Silver of Destruction].

The scalding hot silver liquid was the destructive silver transformed from the mystical living silver within his body, erupting in the form of this column of mercury light.

I have to say, this secret ability is really useful; it's like a laser cannon, it can sweep wherever you point it.

Even this demigod-level supernatural creature couldn't withstand it!
Although its severe injuries also played a part...

Xia Fa chased after them while constantly sensing their surroundings.

The destruction caused by the silver, after it swept over the iron-cast, fanged giant deer, was not merely a matter of damaging its body.

The re-solidified destructive silver can not only continue to damage the cells in his wounds, but it can also be converted into "sealing mithril" at any time to help him track!
However, this can only be tracked if he enters the Silver Throne through the Rhine Silver Mercury.

Xia Fa certainly wouldn't let go of a demigod-level prey that was about to be captured. Massive amounts of mercury vapor kept erupting from behind him, and he used Star Silver Charge multiple times to relentlessly pursue it.

Not far ahead, the giant iron-cast tusked deer was fleeing in panic.

……

same moment.

The entrance to the Mist God Hunting Grounds.

"Phew—we've finally cleared out the supernatural creatures from this area. If we advance a few more kilometers in each direction today, the refugees should be able to move in and start building houses with the nobles' funding, right?"

Daponz wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke with a smile.

In front of him, the Magic Mechanical Cannon, assembled using the advanced "Magic Mechanical" contract and other contracts such as "Mechanic," "Assembler," and "Gear Master," had entered an overloaded operating state, generating high temperatures and looking like it could fall apart at any moment.

Poincaré shook his hand, and the arm that had been billowing with lava and thick smoke quickly returned to normal. He nodded quite calmly.
"Well, this is a task assigned to us by the academy anyway, and besides, we can also hunt supernatural creatures. Let's keep going and keep it up."

"Humph~"

Off snorted softly, sitting on her traveling slime with her hands on her hips, and said rather proudly:

"I already said, I can come alone. Those of you who need to train can go train, and those who want to find the Mist Scale Dragon can go find it. You don't need to stay here."

The traveling slime beneath her was now crammed with all sorts of supernatural creatures, including wolves, bears, lions, and even rabbits and mice, but strangely enough, it could fit them all.

It was as if this traveling slime, being a mystic, had a subdimensional space inside its belly.

Poincaré smiled helplessly:

“Miss Auf, the extraordinary individuals from the Church of Nature and the Silver Church will be arriving soon. If we don't want them to laugh at us, we should all work together. I—”

Hoo-ho!
He was interrupted halfway through his sentence by a terrifying and bizarre roar.

The roar echoed throughout the entire forest, causing leaves to fall and even pebbles on the ground to bounce.

However, Poincaré, Daponz, and even Ofu riding on the traveling slime, as well as the dozen or so noble students around them, were all stunned and unable to react in the slightest.

Because they can't move.

A chill ran through their bodies from head to toe; it was the oppressive feeling emanating from a demigod!

Suppression in terms of position!

Just from that roar, they could tell that this was a demigod-level supernatural creature!

Moreover, it is rapidly approaching in this direction!

Almost the next second, a giant deer with a steely appearance and messy, sharp teeth growing from its lips came running at high speed from the southwest in a bizarre, upright manner!

Offe and Poincaré were terrified and were about to pull out the life-saving techniques passed down from their fathers.

In an instant, the iron-cast, tusked giant stag swept past them and continued its escape eastward toward the Mist God's Hunting Grounds!
Before anyone could even react, they all widened their eyes in shock!
This was because everyone present clearly saw that behind it, there was a three-meter-tall metal humanoid figure chasing after it!

The three-meter-tall metal humanoid figure, with its ape-like back and wasp waist, was extremely agile. It exuded both a holy and ferocious aura, like a fusion of angel and devil, or like an agent sent by God to punish all evil in the world.

Upon seeing the three-meter-tall metal humanoid figure, Auf froze, her seaweed-colored eyes wide with utter shock.
Her cherry-colored lips trembled, as if she had seen something utterly unbelievable:
"The Silver Throne? Who...who is this?"
