Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 199 The Crimson Agent Appears! A tremendous crisis is about to unfold!
There was silence.

Inside the Hall of Stars, no one spoke. Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking incredulously at the illusory image of the miniature world beneath the dome.

What... is going to happen?
A deep-sea magma octopus? Isn't that a supernatural creature with a body surface temperature reaching thousands of degrees?

If the surface temperature is like this, the internal temperature must be even higher...

After a brief moment of surprise, many pirates couldn't help but exclaim, "The angels really know how to play tricks!"

Many of the pirates who had come to their senses looked at Omega's first mate with admiration in their eyes.

Of course, this is only a minority.

After figuring out what had happened or was about to happen, most pirates initially showed extreme surprise and incomprehension, which quickly turned into deep disgust. Some even felt goosebumps.

puff--

Someone couldn't hold it in any longer and suddenly burst out laughing.

This laugh seemed to stir up a thousand waves, and the entire Hall of Stars erupted in bursts of loud laughter.

"Hahahaha, what did I just see? What did I just see!"

"My God, Lord, does First Mate Omega have such unique tastes?"

"That's awesome! No wonder he's the vice-captain of Omega. No wonder they say he's not interested in women, he actually likes octopuses!"

"Still a deep-sea magma octopus, quite knowledgeable, First Mate Omega."

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! I...I can't take it anymore...my stomach hurts so much! Hahaha!"

"The Omega First Mate is truly a hidden talent, hahaha!"

"Even I, a pervert, think He's a pervert!"

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised when he saw this.

When he used the "Coin of Destiny" to exert an "unpredictable fate" effect on Captain Omega, he didn't actually know what would happen.

I never expected things to turn out this way...

It revealed the deepest, most hidden side of Omega's first mate...

While Xia Fa was both amused and exasperated, he gained a completely new understanding of the uses of the "Silver Coin of Destiny".

Unfortunately, at present, he is essentially just an Eagle-level superhuman who has signed three secret contracts.

Even if you exert all your strength and risk losing control, you can only affect the existence of angelic beings.

However, Xia Fa also knew that the reason he was able to successfully influence the angel Omega the vice-captain was mainly due to the strange electric current at the spine.

After all, that strange electric current could even help him resist the mental pollution from the Outer Gods, and also withstand the gaze of heavily armored cavalry comparable to the nine Great Gods.
Influencing an angel right under the noses of the rulers is naturally not difficult.
Perhaps, once I sign the "Mysterious Singularity" hegemon-level secret contract and become a wolf-level superhuman, I'll probably be able to summon three strange currents from my spine and tail. With the increase in my rank... I should be able to try to influence the ruler, right?

However, those with the dominant position might be able to sense the influence exerted on their own destiny...

Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Xia Fa's gaze sharpened slightly as he waited quietly.

Without a doubt, given the enormous cost, it would be difficult for the Omega vice-captain to use the "time-peeping telescope" a second time.

Some sealed artifacts, if used a second time in a short period of time, can come at a much higher cost than the first time, especially sealed artifacts of the Time-Viewing Telescope level.

So, I guess I barely managed to keep my cousin Hercules' secret?
But what will happen next—whether the Omega vice-captain will give up, or Hercules, the father of all stars, will finally lose patience and make a move, or something else entirely—Shafa has no idea.

Because he forcibly interfered with the fate of an angel, he himself is now in a state of extreme emptiness and needs some time to recover.

"Ugh……"

On the Star Throne, the Father of All Stars sighed softly and shook his head.

It seems that even if the vice-captain Omega stood up and accused Him of being some kind of fish-man emperor, trying to force Him into a desperate situation where He would be besieged by other rulers and extraordinary monarchs, He was unwilling to see his trusted subordinate make such a fool of himself.

The old first mate of Omega was visibly flushed, as he struggled to twist the time-peeping telescope in his hand, seemingly trying to forcibly stop this projection of time points.
But no matter how hard He tried, He still couldn't do it.

It seems that there is a problem with this sealed artifact, or perhaps, after He paid such a great price to activate this sealed artifact, it is difficult for it to stop.

Upon seeing this, the Father of All Stars on the Star Throne secretly shook his head, and starlight emanated from his palm, as if he wanted to help Vice-Captain Omega stop the operation of this sealing artifact.

despair!despair!despair!
At that very moment, the clear and composed sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor echoed throughout the entire Hall of Stars.

The lower-ranking pirates didn't think much of it, except that the footsteps sounded strangely clear.

However, many pirates present, including demigods and even angels, suddenly changed their expressions, turning their heads in fear or panic towards a side door of the Hall of Stars.

That was the place where the footsteps came from.

In the air, both the Thousand-Faced Prophet and the Shark Princess realized something.

The Thousand-Faced Prophet, with a playful expression, leisurely looked at the circular archway.

Princess Shark coldly snorted, not even glancing at the side door, her gaze beneath the jeweled mask seemingly filled with impatience.

At the same moment, Xia Fa's heart skipped a beat, and a burning sensation surged through his body like wildfire!

He was all too familiar with the unique sound of those leather shoes, or rather, he remembered it all too well!

Since becoming a superhuman, two of the biggest life-or-death crises I've faced have been related to the owner of the footsteps!
“The Crimson Agent…how did He get here?”

The next moment, a pair of legs dressed in a scarlet suit stepped out from the side door of the Hall of Stars, through the ancient Greek-style archway.

The leather shoes on those legs were ones that Xia Fa knew all too well—shoes with golden scales at the toes!

The moment those shoes and legs appeared, an inexplicable atmosphere of oppression spread. Many pirates turned pale and trembled with fear, as if they had witnessed the end of the world.

Then, a tall but slender figure stepped out completely from the circular archway.

Wearing his signature scarlet ghost mask, a well-tailored scarlet suit, and a strangely aura-filled revolver at his waist, he walked step by step to the center of the hall.

"Crimson...Crimson Agent?" Someone shouted in utter panic, and the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point. All the pirates trembled with fear, as if they were foreseeing a terrifying future.

The Crimson Agent, a supreme monarch who signed the "Conditions Forever" secret pact, is known throughout the Baron Ocean for its unpredictable and ruthless actions.

Not long ago, He personally chased after Greenbeard, one of the Howling Emperor's men, all the way to the outskirts of Rum. Ignoring His Majesty Octavian and Marshal Gaius, He personally executed more than 500 men on the Greenbeard ship, along with the Greenbeard captain himself!
It is said that this action greatly angered the Roaring Emperor, leading to Him being hunted down by the Roaring Emperor.

But now, why... is the Crimson Agent appearing at the Pirate Conference in the City of Ten Thousand Stars?
On the Star Throne, the moment the Crimson Agent appeared, the Father of All Stars, whose face had been calm and unmoved by anything, finally revealed a gloomy expression.

Locke's cousin's expression changed drastically, clearly not expecting that a fourth ruler would appear at this pirate tournament!

Moreover, it was the Crimson Agent, this extraordinary monarch!
At this moment, Xia Fa's expression returned to normal, becoming just as surprised and fearful as the other ragtag pirates around him, skillfully concealing the extreme killing intent in his eyes.

Let alone the fact that I am currently in a nearly weakened state and have no chance of defeating a transcendent monarch, even in my prime, I would be no match for a transcendent monarch.

After all, he was only at the Eagle rank, barely able to fight angels.

Fungi, insects, eagles, wolves, elephants, whales, demigods, angels, overlords... As an eagle-level superhuman, being able to fight angels is already quite impressive. To fight overlords, especially superhuman monarchs, is simply too much to ask.

Sign another hegemon-level secret contract, reaching the wolf-level rank, and then I might be able to give the Overlord a shot...

Fortunately, Xia Fa wasn't too panicked, because he had completely changed his appearance and demeanor beforehand using the legendary treasure "Haircutted Face," otherwise things would have been much more serious.

Xia Fa couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It's true that caution is the best policy."

At the same time, he became puzzled. Could this be the so-called dominant-level argument that he had divined before?

He originally thought that the Omega vice-captain standing up to question the Father of Ten Thousand Stars, the Shark Princess acting as a notary, and the Thousand-Faced Prophet watching from the sidelines with a covetous eye, was the main argument of this time.

But now it seems that things are much more serious than he imagined.

"No, I can't expose myself. If I weren't being protected, with my cousin Hercules' status as a transcendent monarch of the Star Gate, he should be able to escape with my cousin Locke from the combined attack of one transcendent monarch and two overlords."

"But if I expose my identity and the Crimson Agent attacks me, my cousin Hercules might not be able to escape in order to protect me..."

Xia Fa decided to hold back for now. At the same time, he used his mystical silver magic to make a palm-sized incision in his abdomen.

Immediately, he took out a large piece of the mountain dragon bear's paw from the black bag and teleported directly to the opening in its abdomen.

And so, under the cover of the secret treasure in the suit, he quietly ate a large piece of the flesh of a demigod supernatural creature, thereby accelerating the recovery of his physical strength and extraordinary power in order to cope with the unknown and potentially extremely dangerous situation that was about to unfold.

"First, the ability to fix the projection time point of the time telescope."

Just then, the Crimson Executor's cruelly laughing voice echoed throughout the Hall of Stars.

Xia Fa's heart tightened suddenly; he already knew what was about to happen.

His gaze fell upon his cousin Hercules, who sat upon the throne of the stars at the deepest and highest point of the hall, hoping that Hercules would intervene and stop the Crimson Agent.

However, Hercules, the father of all stars, did not move.

He simply stared at the Crimson Agent with an extremely somber expression, as if realizing it was too late to stop it.

Xia Fa suddenly realized that the "Conditions for Eternity" master-level secret contract, if it really wanted to achieve "eternity" through "conditions," didn't actually need to be read out word by word.

Just like on the Bluebeard, the Crimson Executor had already achieved "eternity" by influencing the time disorder caused by the Bluebeard's recent jump from the Protoss Realm.
Then he appeared and recited those words.

The reason He specifically recited it was probably to influence the opponent's mentality, and thus their will and soul, thereby gaining a psychological advantage.

In other words, at today's pirate convention, the Crimson Executor... had already secretly used the Eternal Conditions of the Secret Contract ability to influence the Time-Seeing Telescope, which is why it made its appearance!
Therefore, the Father of All Stars is temporarily refraining from doing anything, because the Crimson Agents have already completed their mission!

"Then, push back the point in time that the time-peeping telescope needs to project slightly."

The Crimson Proxy's voice rang out calmly and composedly, carrying undisguised malice. He walked to the center of the hall, stood firmly, and looked towards the Father of All Stars on the Star Throne.

"Finally, we have achieved...eternity regarding the truth about the Father of All Stars' identity!"

As soon as the third sentence was spoken, the time-peeping telescope in the hands of the Omega vice-captain suddenly burst out with a terrifying light!
With the status of a Crimson Agent Extraordinary Monarch, coupled with the ability of eternal covenant, it can be activated without even paying a price!
Above the dome, the phantom of the miniature world suddenly expanded, as if it had transformed into a real world, instantly encompassing all the pirates in the hall.

Everyone felt as if they were in the captain's cabin of the Father of All Stars. Moreover, this time, the projection of the Father of All Stars in the captain's cabin was crystal clear, and even the pores on His face could be seen clearly!
In the illusory world projected by the Time-Viewing Telescope, powered by the Crimson Agent, day suddenly turned into night.

Everyone witnessed an incredibly incredible sight.

In the captain's cabin, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars was studying a mysterious nautical chart when suddenly, a bump inexplicably appeared on his face.

In an instant, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars seemed to realize something and abruptly reached out and pressed down on the bag.

[But it was no use. The next moment, large and small bumps swelled up all over His body, and then all of them burst open with a "bang!"]

[The Father of Ten Thousand Stars let out a painful groan, uncontrollably clutching his head, and suddenly fell to the ground, knocking over chairs and many cups and cigars on the table.]

He was curled up on the ground, seemingly suffering extreme pain, and had no time to care about anything else.

Even at this critical moment, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars still remembered to press down on a loose plank of the ship on the ground.

Inside the captain's cabin, golden dust gradually filled the air, threatening to seal off everything inside and prevent anyone from sensing or spying on it.

At the same time, deep blue skin with circular spots grew from the ruptured bulges on the Father of Ten Thousand Stars' body and quickly spread throughout His entire body.

His human head was elongated in a bizarre way, his eyes bulged out and turned golden, his mouth grew countless messy sharp teeth, and his nose turned into two round holes.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed from a human head... into a fish-man's head!

Even more bizarrely, a fleshy crown was slowly forming on His merman head, and at the same time, an incredibly terrifying and eerie merman aura emanated from it.

[As Shadow Powder was about to completely seal off the captain's cabin, on the floor of the captain's cabin, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars, who was completely out of control, was about to completely transform into the Fishman Emperor.]

Just then, the first mate of the Omega happened to pass by the window of the captain's cabin and glanced inside.

That one glance was enough to turn the usually composed First Mate Omega pale and nearly cause him to stumble and fall.

[Because, just before the shadow powder was about to form a sealed space, He saw... the Father of Ten Thousand Stars, transformed into the Fishman Emperor!]
