Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 151 The Second Overlord? An Encounter Between a Fairy Tale World and the Silver Throne!

"finally come……"

Xia Fa did not hesitate and stood up.

The moment he stood up, star-blue mercury seeped from the corners of his eyes, flowing down his cheeks like two lines of bloody tears, with specks of starlight emanating from the mercury.

At first glance, it's a bit creepy, but it also gives people a sense of mystery, like a religious ritual.

At the same time, massive amounts of star-blue mercury rapidly gushed out from his ears, nostrils, mouth, and even the openings in his wrists and ankles, instantly covering his entire body.

Mercury vapor billowed out, sparkling like starlight, as if mist had spread into the universe, serene and sacred.

Amidst the steam, a 3.9-meter-tall metallic figure stood upright, its back ramrod straight.

Xia Fa opened his eyes amidst the steam, his dark gaze revealing a monarchical majesty.

Upon realizing that his Starshine Silver Throne form had increased his height from 3.5 meters to 3.9 meters, Xia Fa couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The little gift that the person who answered the question gave him—that black potion—is still getting more valuable!

Without much thought, Xia Fa casually waved his left hand, causing the entire space of the vine-covered house to bend inward, and with a snap, the vines broke off one by one.

With a snap of his right hand, he concealed countless stones of varying sizes on the ground into the rift of time, only to release them again in an instant.

After performing all the necessary divination interference, Xia Faxing opened his silver palm, and the "distress candy" wrapped in colorful striped candy wrapper fell out.

pat!

Without hesitation, he crushed it.

The mist-scaled dragon cub had spotted Xiafa hiding in the vine hut the moment the mercury steam began to rise.

It immediately turned around, its single horn pointing at Xiafa. Its originally grayish-white body was transformed from head to toe by a beam of light, suddenly turning into a holy, pure white.

Those were its scales, which had transformed from a grayish-white that facilitated camouflage in the fog and forest into a dazzling holy white!

This is its pre-hunt hunting behavior!

Hiss!!!

The Mistscaled Dragon cub let out a ferocious roar, its six wings flapping open at once, its mouth gaping so wide that the translucent membranes on its cheeks, stretched taut, were visible, with thick saliva clinging to its teeth.

The dragon's majesty swept across the forest in an instant, causing scorpions, centipedes, and other small insects on the ground to fall over, while tree frogs, cicadas, and other small animals on the trees to burst open in a flash.

That was the pressure of the dragon race, the aura of a demigod-level dragon. Before that angel-level supernatural creature awakened, it was the undisputed ruler of this Mist God Hunting Ground.

Now, the monarch has discovered a challenger who can threaten it, and it will defend its throne and dignity with thunderous ruthlessness.

A surge of airflow and sound waves rushed in, and the star-blue mercury vapor surrounding Xia Fa was instantly blown backward and rippled outward.

The Mistscale Dragon cub finally got a clear look at the challenger.

It was a 3.9-meter-tall metal humanoid figure, its wrists and ankles wrapped in tranquil starlight, its eyes beneath the visor gleaming with a chilling light, its imperial majesty filling the entire world.

Ferocious, domineering, vicious, ancient, mysterious... He is like a demon god descended to earth, or a holy angel, about to bring judgment and divine punishment to the world.

The Mistscaled Dragon cub took a step back, folded all six of its wings, and involuntarily lowered its body.

In its dark golden pupils, a human-like fear was revealed, and the holy white scales on its body quickly faded to gray.

Suddenly, a large cloud of mist shot out from the single horn on its forehead. The mist flashed with cold light, like a metallic cloud, and enveloped Xia Fa directly.

Then, the Mistscaled Dragon cub turned around, its tail, as long as its body, slapped the ground, and without hesitation, used the momentum to leap out and flee in the southeast direction.

It actually ran away... ran away...

The densely shimmering mist instantly enveloped Xia Fa, making a soft "clinking" sound as it rubbed against his metallic skin.

It was indeed a metallic cloud, containing countless sharp needles.

Unfortunately, the attack couldn't even penetrate the metallic skin formed by the starlight mercury on Xia Fa, who was seated on the Starlight Silver Throne.

boom! ! !
Xia Fa stomped his foot, creating a large crater in the ground within a dozen meters, and his body shot out like a cannonball.

Wow——!
A large amount of star silver steam spewed out from the exhaust vent on his back, and as his speed accelerated a second time, his body flashed as if a ray of light had contracted.

Starlight Flash!

The next moment, Xia Fa's 3.9-meter-tall metallic figure appeared above the Mist Scale Dragon cub, holding the secret-unlocked horse-slaying sword in his hand, and slashed down!

Since the goal this time was to keep the Mist Scale Dragon cub alive, rather than kill it, Xia Fa did not use Silver Slash, but simply charged up and slashed out.

With a single strike, the blade pierced through the body of the Mist Scale Dragon cub without any resistance, cutting directly into the soil.

boom! ! !
Within a radius of several kilometers, the earth shattered and trees collapsed. The power of Xia Fa's strike was comparable to that of a demigod!
However, Xia Fa, upon landing, narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint appearing in them.

The reason was that when he slashed down, the body of the Mist Scale Dragon cub turned into dense mist and dissipated!
That's why his strike had nowhere to deflect the force and could only hit the ground.

Suddenly sensing something, Xia Fa turned his head and his gaze, sharp as an arrow, locked onto something several kilometers to his left.

It was the edge of the earth that he had shattered with a single strike. Amidst the flying rocks and scattered dirt, a nearly transparent figure staggered for a moment.

The figure had a dragon tail as long as its body, six wings pressed tightly against its back, and a single horn on its forehead gleaming with dazzling light, as if it were brewing some kind of attack.

It is... a Mist Scale Dragon cub!

"Wow, they even know how to use clones and invisibility to mislead the enemy..."

Xia Fa was quite surprised. Compared to the Mist Scale Dragon cub, both the Restraining Chains and the Mountain Dragon Bear seemed to have much lower intelligence.

As for the Venomous Tree Centipede, well... it's his friend, and he can't be bothered with it behind his back.

Wow——!
Once again, star silver steam erupted, and Xia Fa's figure shrank like light, disappearing from the spot. With two consecutive flashes, he rushed to the mist scale dragon cub with unparalleled speed and ferocity, and slashed down again!

He was so fast that when the heavy, powerful saber fell, the Mist Scale Dragon cub, staggered by the collapsing earth, hadn't even regained its footing.

But at this critical moment, the Mist Scale Dragon cub turned its head, and a beam of light suddenly shot out from the shining horn on its head!
No, that wasn't a beam of light, but a torrent of steel composed of extremely dense metallic needles, heading straight for Xia Fa's horse-slaying sword!

Dang Dang Dang Dang!
The metal needles struck the blade of the horse-slaying sword, slicing through it like a high-pressure water jet, spraying outwards.

This time, the metal needles were completely different, giving Xia Fa an extremely dangerous feeling. A massive amount of red mercury immediately appeared around him.
In an instant, these red mercury particles connected with each other, shrank inward, and their light subsided, transforming into a perfectly round shell, like the outer shell of a planet.

All the fine metal needles that pierced the red mercury shell were bounced off without leaving a trace.

This is precisely the Red Silver Star Shell that Red Silver All-Defense has been upgraded to!
The dark golden pupils of the Mist Scale Dragon cub suddenly contracted, revealing a human-like look of shock, and even the fighting spirit on its face immediately receded like a tide.

Although this is not its strongest killing move, it is still one of its more powerful talents. I didn't expect that it couldn't even break through the defensive shell of this metal humanoid.
The Mist Scale Dragon cub immediately realized that it was completely outmatched. This metallic humanoid, which clearly didn't even have the aura of a demigod, was simply a monster!

It couldn't win, so it had to run away!
As its fighting spirit subsided, the torrent of metal needles that shot from its single horn on its forehead also weakened considerably.

The Mist Scale Dragon cub quietly took two steps back, its scaled claws gathering power, ready to suddenly escape.

A large, star-blue metallic hand emerged from the torrent of fine metal needles and immediately grabbed the Mist Scale Dragon.

However, the large, sharp, metallic hand did not reach for the Mist Scale Dragon's neck, but instead pinched the air to its left.

But the next moment, in the air, a transparent figure was grabbed by the neck and struggled violently, desperately twisting its slender dragon body, but to no avail.

The transparent figure gradually became clear, and it turned out to be a Mist Scale Dragon cub!

The figure of the mist-scaled dragon cub, which was spewing forth torrents of metallic needles, suddenly vanished into mist, disappearing into the world.

Even at this critical moment of life and death, this mist-scaled dragon cub had prepared an escape route in advance. It launched an attack on Xiafa with the mist-like illusion, while its real body hid and was ready to escape at any time!

Fortunately, Xia Fa discovered its trick and caught it in one go.

Although the Mist Scale Dragon cub was a giant dragon, it was still a cub and did not yet possess the earth-shattering physical strength of its parents. Even though it had its front claws on Xia Fa's metal hand and tried its best to pry them open, it could not pry his fingers off.

Instead, Xiafa's sharp claws pierced its scales and penetrated its neck, oozing out misty, grayish-white blood.

Countless runes flashed in the dark pupils beneath Xia Fa's mask, and a massive amount of mithril surged from the metal palm gripping the Mist Scale Dragon's neck!

This mithril was different from the mithril that could be mined from veins; its surface and interior contained a large number of black runes.
In an instant, it spread from the neck of the Mistscale Dragon cub, crawling all over its body like a fungus.

The scales of the Mist Scale Dragon cub turned a holy white again, shining brightly, and secret runes appeared on the scales, as if trying to resist the seal.

But it was no use. With a flash of Xia Fa's eyes, all the mithril turned into a star-like blue-white, and the number of runes increased tenfold, gathering into clusters like miniature planets.

This move is the upgraded version of the Mithril Seal... the Star Seal!
Clang.

The Mistscale Dragon cub was trapped inside a large chunk of Star Mithril, crashing onto the crumbling rocky ground and sending sparks flying.

Only its head was visible, while its body was completely encased in metal, and no matter how much it struggled, it could not move.

"Don't move, or I'll kill you."

Xia Fa spoke, his voice hoarse and low, yet seemingly from the distant starry sky.

The Mistscaled Dragon cub tilted its head, seemingly unable to understand Xiafa's language.

With his other hand raised, Xia Fa raised his saber and slashed horizontally, aiming straight for the head of the Mist Scale Dragon cub that had emerged from its shell.

The Mistscaled Dragon cub was truly terrified and suddenly spat out a secret rune formed from mist:

I...I...I won't move, please...please don't kill me! The cold, menacing blade of the horse-slaying saber stopped an inch from its head.

The sword was so sharp that the cold air emanating from its blade still managed to cut through its scales, and misty blood flowed down the pristine white scales on its cheeks.

The Mist Scale Dragon cub was almost scared to death, its dark golden pupils rolling upwards to reveal the whites of its eyes.

Fortunately, after a while, it woke up and found that it was alright, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The wound on its cheek was covered with dense granulation tissue, healing itself at an astonishing rate; even the cut scales were about to heal.

It couldn't care less about anything else and immediately spat out another cryptic text:
Thank you, thank you for sparing my life, I will repay you!
Xia Fa held the saber in one hand, a slight chuckle to himself.

This Mistscaled Dragon cub is quite clever and cunning. It clearly understands human speech, but at first it pretends not to.

It only gave in when it realized it was serious.

Seeing that he had successfully sealed the Mist Scale Dragon cub with the Star Seal's secret fusion ability and had it firmly under control, Xia Fa breathed a sigh of relief.

Thirty-two hundred thousand gold pounds, almost in my hands!

But why hasn't Prince Justinian arrived yet, after all this time?

Xia Fa looked around in confusion, but didn't see any figures hiding in the trees or behind the rocks. He then extended his spiritual intuition, but still found nothing.

What about Prince Justinian?
He had already gone to great lengths to seal the Mist Scale Dragon cub, putting in more effort than expected, but why hadn't Prince Justinian, an angelic being, arrived yet?
Xia Fa decided to wait a little longer, since he had never witnessed the descent of an angelic being and did not know how long it would take.

Perhaps it was meant to take several minutes?

Although he vaguely sensed that this speculation was wrong, he had no other choice but to wait where he was.

Unless, of course, you take the Mistscaled Dragon cub to the palace to find Prince Justinian, but that would be too much trouble.

After thinking for a moment, he simply patted his left shoulder, dispelling the barrier to his perception of the bee eggs.

The bee egg awakened almost instantly, detaching from its left shoulder with a "pop," and the egg, the size of a water tank, shot out and circled around Xiafa.

"My esteemed and dear master, what is it? If you give the order, I will go through fire and water without batting an eye, even though I have no eyebrows."

Xiafa: ...

How come my pet is getting better and better at flattery? It has such a set of clever words.

"It's nothing, I just got you something to eat."

Xia Fa communicated with the bee egg through spiritual intuition. After the thought was transmitted, he swiftly swung his left-hand saber, immediately cutting off a small piece of flesh covered in scales from the cheek of the mist-scaled dragon cub.

The Mistscaled Dragon cub twitched in pain, becoming even more frightened and shrinking its neck.

Whether it was this demonic-looking metallic humanoid or this suddenly appearing, enormous orange-yellow bee egg, everything was too strange, so strange that the Mist Scale Dragon cub felt a chill run down its spine.

Therefore, it didn't even dare to resent Xia Fa, it was simply afraid, and it only hoped that the metal humanoid and the water tank-sized bee egg would let it go.

Within these bee eggs, something vaguely seems to be gestating into a monster that even the young Mistscale Dragons genuinely fear.

It was neither eerie nor supernatural, but rather resembled something it had seen from afar. This terrified the Mistscaled Dragon cub, leaving it with no other thought but to survive.

Xia Fa, however, used the tip of his horse-slaying sword to flick the scaly piece of meat towards the bee eggs.

The egg membrane of the bee egg rippled, like a pebble falling into a lake, and immediately absorbed the lump of flesh.

"How is it? Is there enough to eat?"

Xia Fa asked the question with his spiritual intuition. Of course, he didn't want to feed the bee eggs, since his pet had a huge appetite; even a giant bear on a 200-meter-high mountain wouldn't be enough for it.

His idea was to give the bee eggs some of the characteristics of the Mistscale Dragon cubs.

This is a dragon race with the demigod status. If my bee eggs can gain special characteristics, I'll have hit the jackpot!

The bee eggs seemed to sense their owner's intentions, intuitively stating:

"Master, we're just one piece of meat short, and a little more blood will do. Please help, Master!"

Xia Fa smiled and shook his head, then swiftly slashed with his saber, slicing off a piece of scaly flesh from the left cheek of the Mist Scale Dragon cub.

"If you force some blood out yourself, I won't do anything."

With a flick of his knife, Xia Fa tossed the piece of meat to the bee egg while speaking to the Mist Scale Dragon cub.

The Mistscaled Dragon cub shook its head up and down repeatedly, giving Xia Fa the impression that it was bowing and scraping.

Then, from the small pits on its cheeks, two large spurts of grayish-white blood suddenly seeped out from the bright red flesh, condensing in the air, each clump as big as a fist.

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised, not expecting this mist-scaled dragon cub to be so adept at handling things.

He originally only wanted a dozen or so drops.

Since that's the case, and we've had enough bee eggs, let's not bother with them anymore.

Xia Fa first used his spiritual intuition to scan the two clumps of grayish-white blood, confirming that there was nothing wrong with them. Then, with a wave of his hand, he used his airflow to carry the grayish-white blood into the egg membrane of the bee egg.
The bee eggs were absorbed extremely quickly; almost instantly, the grayish-white blood was absorbed into its body.

Then, through the translucent egg membrane, Xia Fa vaguely saw in the orange liquid that holy dragon scales were emerging on its body, instantly covering its entire body!
At first glance, it looks like a wasp, but it has two antlers on its head, its body is covered in pure white dragon scales with no areas covered by scales, its shell is colorful, and it has a full six pairs of wings.

At the waist, there is a gray-black stone shell that connects with the dragon scales, forming a large armor-like protective layer.

Then, its entire body was wrapped in steel chains.

Xia Fa suddenly felt that his pet was becoming more and more sinister and powerful... He really didn't know when it would hatch.

This time, without Xia Fa's command, the bee eggs obediently flew to Xia Fa's right shoulder, even proactively using their spiritual intuition to say:

"Master, I'm a little sleepy, I want to go to sleep~"

Xiafa knew that it understood that its senses were about to be blocked, but instead of being unhappy, it cooperated very well and did not want to cause Xiafa any trouble.

This level of maturity is beyond the ordinary, which makes Xia Fa feel a little sorry for her.

But there was no other way; Prince Justinian could arrive at any moment, so Shafa had no choice but to agree, returning it to his right shoulder and shielding it from his senses.

Then, Xia Fa continued to wait in the same spot.

To his surprise, in just over a minute, the small pit-like wounds on the left and right cheeks of the Mist Scale Dragon had completely healed, and new scales had grown back.

However, the new scales looked smooth and flat, which seemed out of place compared to the other slightly worn scales around them.

Why hasn't Prince Justinian arrived yet?

Xia Fa was now completely confused. Could it be that he really had to carry the sealed Mist Scale Dragon cub to the palace himself?
"Something must have happened..."

His gaze became serious, and he made a deduction.

But the question is, what could possibly happen to Justinian, a prince, within the territory of the Kingdom of Augus?
He himself was an angel and had signed a supreme-level secret pact. Then, he had an emperor father who had also signed a supreme-level secret pact and was a transcendent monarch.

Furthermore, Xia Fa speculated that since the head of the Augustus family, Marshal Gaius, who was also the ruler, had been able to coexist peacefully with His Majesty Octavian for over six hundred years, and perhaps even longer, he would certainly not stand idly by if Prince Justinian were in danger.

In this situation, what kind of trouble could a superhuman monarch, a ruler, and an angel who has signed a hegemonic pact, all within the territory of the Augu Kingdom, possibly encounter that would prevent Prince Justinian from even descending?

Xia Fa was somewhat confused, to the point that he was even considering whether to use mechanical divination to see what was going on.

ah! ! ! ! ! ! !
A piercing scream suddenly rang out from the southeast of the Mist God Hunting Grounds. The scream sounded like a crying baby, or the howl of a monster, and was extremely terrifying.

Xia Fa immediately got goosebumps all over his body, but fortunately, these goosebumps realized that Xia Fa now had metallic skin, so they couldn't really bulge out and subsided.

But that's not the key point. The key point is that Xia Fa sensed the aura of an angel from that baby-like cry!

Angel?

For some reason, the image of the angelic supernatural being that Prince Justinian had mentioned earlier, sleeping beneath the Mist God Hunting Grounds, immediately came to Xia Fa's mind.

Aaaaaah!!!
Another strange cry rang out, this time causing Xia Fa's body to tremble and his pupils to shrink sharply.

He recognized the strange cry as coming from another angel!
Two angels?

Or rather, two angelic supernatural beings?

Xia Fa looked southeast and, almost at the same time, saw a rainbow stretching across the sky for tens of thousands of meters, as well as a sandcastle that suddenly rose up.

He immediately recognized that these were... the two secret abilities of the overlord-level secret contract of the fairy tale world!
Xia Fa's mind raced, and he had already deduced what had happened.

Beneath the Mist God Hunting Grounds, that angelic supernatural creature has inexplicably awakened!
Then, they happened to meet Prince Justinian, who had come to the Mist God Hunting Grounds.

The two angels started fighting, which is why Prince Justinian didn't have time to descend after he crushed the distress candy!
But where did the angel-level supernatural creature come from?

Without a second thought, Xia Fa picked up the Star Mithril metal block that sealed the Mist Scale Dragon cub with one hand, steam billowing from his back as he sped off towards the southeast.

He has a vague assessment of his current abilities.

That is, killing demigods is no problem, but killing angels is not.

However, he could exchange a few blows with the angel; if he couldn't win, he could run away—he had plenty of ways to escape.

Therefore, Xia Fa decided to rush over and see if he could help Prince Justinian!

If we can win, we can also collect the reward of 820,000 gold pounds!
He also speculated on another possibility, a possibility that made it even more imperative for him to rush over!
