Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 202 Eagle-level Rank, Hunting Angels? The Beginning of a Legend!
Inside the Hall of Stars, all the pirates were terrified.

The battle between the rulers just now was too fast. Before many people could react, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars had already escaped with Vice-Captain Locke.

It wasn't until the Roaring Emperor, in a fit of rage, turned his attention to the ragtag pirates that everyone suddenly realized what was about to happen.

The Roaring Emperor... Although he was an extraordinary monarch, he lacked the demeanor and magnanimity of one. He always killed whomever he wanted and acted whenever he pleased!
But in the Baron Ocean, and even on the planet Caligia, no one could control Him.

After all, this is an extraordinary monarch, a being standing at the pinnacle of the extraordinary world!
Of course, this was also under the condition that the Roaring Emperor was extremely clever and never provoked the higher-ups of the "Silver Church" and the "Nature Church".

And now, right here in the Hall of Stars, right here with the only one of the five pirate emperors who could suppress the Roaring Emperor, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars, having escaped, the Roaring Emperor has decided to vent his anger on the ragtag pirates!

Heavy footsteps sounded, and the ragtag pirates surrounding Xia Fa were utterly terrified.
An immense pressure descended from the sky, like an unshakeable mountain, pressing down on them, making it difficult for them to even lift their feet.

"No, no... Ah!!!"

Screams rang out as a dozen pirates clutched their heads in agony not far from Xia Fa, bloody bone spikes emerging from their heads, faces, and bodies.

These pirates appeared to have their internal organs and brains damaged; after a few screams, they collapsed to the ground, their eyes glazed over, blood trickling from their mouths, and they were no longer breathing.

Throughout the entire ordeal, no one noticed when the Roaring Emperor made his move. Only some sharp-eyed pirates noticed that a few of the bone spurs covering the Roaring Emperor's body were missing.

The Roaring Emperor grinned maliciously, seemingly finding pleasure in the carnage.

He took another step forward, and dozens of ragtag pirates immediately collapsed in agony, countless bone spurs protruding from their bodies, leaving long trails of blood on the floor of the Hall of Stars.

The hundreds of ragtag pirates who had been gathered together were suddenly reduced by more than half.

Moreover, it will soon be Xiafa's turn.

"damn it……"

Xia Fa cursed inwardly. Unlike the other ragtag pirates, he was still able to move, and his eyes were glowing with fire.

Of course, he couldn't just sit and wait to die. Even if his all-out strike probably wouldn't do any harm to a ruler, he wouldn't just wait to die!

The Roaring Emperor's expression of pleasure deepened. He raised his hand, seemingly preparing to unleash some terrifying secret ability he had acquired through the "Primal Stomach," a supreme-level secret contract, to wipe out the remaining ragtag pirates in one fell swoop.

"That's enough."

Just then, a delicate yet cold voice came from above the dome.

She is the Shark Princess.

At this moment, He was floating in the air, His platinum gold form-fitting dress fluttering without wind, and all the gemstones on the delicate gemstone mask beneath His rose-red curly hair were shining.

A terrifying killing intent was brewing around Princess Shark, as if she would attack the Roaring Emperor at the slightest provocation.

The Roaring Emperor first spat viciously on the ground, then looked up at Him:
"Princess Shark, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Despite saying this, the Roaring Emperor actually stopped making a move.

Xia Fa breathed a sigh of relief. The dozens of ragtag pirates around him instantly regained their freedom of movement. Some were so frightened that they almost collapsed, while others turned pale and trembled with fear. There was even a faint smell of urine rising from them.

The Thousand-Faced Prophet smiled meaningfully and said:

"Roaring Emperor, although you usually like to kill innocent people indiscriminately, shouldn't you restrain yourself a bit at this pirate gathering? You've killed so many innocent pirates, you should have vented your anger enough."

The Roaring Emperor raised an eyebrow, touched his bald head, and spat:
"What I do is none of your business, you two rulers who aren't even transcendent monarchs. Forget it, this is pointless."

He uttered a harsh remark, then immediately turned around, his bone spikes flying out to form a rotating white bone gate, through which he flashed.

This infamous, bloodthirsty, and brutal pirate emperor has departed this world.

The Crimson Proxy watched the whole thing from the sidelines, a cold smile playing on his lips beneath his bronze mask, without uttering a single word.

Seeing the Roaring Emperor leave, He seemed somewhat disappointed, yet also as if He had realized something:
"It seems the situation at sea is about to change again. Now it's your turn to join forces against the Roaring Emperor?"

In the Baron Ocean, the territorial waters of Princess Shark and Father of a Thousand Stars are adjacent to each other, and their territorial waters also connect with those of the Roaring Emperor.

If you were to look down on Caligi from the cosmic sky, the general layout would be that the territory of Princess Shark and the territory of Father of All Stars are both squares, side by side.

To the left of the two squares lies the long, narrow territory of the Roaring Emperor.

Of course, the boundaries of the territorial waters of these three pirate emperors could not actually be a straight line, but only roughly like this.

As for the Sea of ​​the Thousand-Faced Prophet, it lies to the left of the Roaring Emperor.

This is equivalent to the Roaring Emperor's personal sea area separating the Shark Princess, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars, and the Prophet with a Thousand Faces.

As for the Silent Queen's territorial waters, they are located on the far left of the Baron Ocean, adjacent only to the Thousand-Faced Prophet.

This is why the Prophet with a Thousand Faces rarely had conflicts with Princess Shark and Father of a Thousand Stars, and his pirates also rarely clashed.

On the contrary, the Thousand-Faced Prophet and the Roaring Emperor were at odds, after all, their territories were adjacent.

Therefore, at the very beginning of the second phase of the Pirate Conference, when the Thousand-Faced Prophet appeared, neither the Father of Ten Thousand Stars nor the pirates of the Ten Thousand Stars Pirate Crew reacted much.

It wasn't until the Crimson Executor appeared, followed by the Roaring Emperor, that everyone realized the gravity of the situation.

Now that the Father of All Stars has fled, his territory will inevitably be divided up, and the Prophet with a Thousand Faces will certainly get a share as well.

However, His true territory was ultimately cut off by the Roaring Emperor, and the Roaring Emperor and the Shark Princess had never been on good terms. This is why the Thousand-Faced Prophet chose to speak on behalf of the Shark Princess at this moment.

His intention was clear: He wanted to join forces with Princess Shark to suppress the Roaring Emperor and prevent him from becoming too powerful.

Seeing that the Crimson Proxy had pointed it out, the Thousand-Faced Prophet seemed completely unconcerned, and said with a half-smile:

“Crimson Agent, you didn’t seem to mention before that you would invite the Roaring Emperor.”

Princess Shark coldly swept her gaze toward the Omega vice-captain who was slumped on the ground below the platform. She seemed unaware that the Prophet of a Thousand Faces would appear, let alone the appearance of the Crimson Executor and the Roaring Emperor.

But perhaps because of her aloof nature, this girlish pirate emperor didn't ask a single question. She merely glanced coldly at Vice-Captain Omega before turning and flying towards the entrance of the Hall of Stars.

Upon seeing this, the pirates under his command immediately rushed up and followed their leader, preparing to leave.

Neither the Crimson Executor nor the Thousand-Faced Prophet stopped them. Although they were able to join forces to besiege the Father of All Stars, it was because the Father of All Stars was the Fishman Emperor, and thus rightfully so.

No one wants to offend Princess Shark at the moment.

Seeing the Shark Pirates leave in a chaotic manner, many other pirate crews also had the idea to follow them.

Xia Fa naturally mingled among them, turning his head towards the thousand-meter-high gate.

"and many more."

Just then, the Crimson Proxy spoke, his tone laced with ruthlessness.

It seems that anyone who dares to disrespect Him or stop walking will immediately die and disappear.

The pirates of the Shark Pirates were taken aback at first, then looked up at their leader. Seeing that Princess Shark showed no sign of stopping, they continued to follow her out.

Those ragtag pirate groups dared not move and stood still.

Clearly, the Crimson Agent's words were directed at them, not at the Shark Pirates.

The Crimson Proxy's tone suddenly softened considerably:

"The members of the Wanxing Pirate Crew can stay. As for the other pirate crews and pirates, you can stay if you are willing to join my ranks. As for those who don't want to, I won't stop you."

Upon hearing this, many pirates breathed a sigh of relief and quickly surged towards the gate again.

However, quite a few pirates did stay behind, each with their own agendas.

None of the pirates present knew about the Crimson Proxy's kidnapping and killing of refugees, and some pirates, even if they did know, wouldn't care.

In this situation, seeing that the Crimson Agents seemed to be forming a new pirate crew, many pirates naturally wanted to join and take a gamble.

Perhaps he could gain the attention of this powerful and eccentric extraordinary monarch, and then he would soar to great heights. Xia Fa, of course, had no intention of staying. He glanced back into the distance and saw that Captain Red Pufferfish and Dagney seemed to be discussing something in hushed tones, their expressions not flustered. Reassured, he turned back and walked out the door.

Of the entire Wanxing Pirate Crew, he currently only knows the pirates on the Red Porcupine, so for the time being he can only focus on the safety of Captain Red Porcupine and his crew, and cannot worry about the others.

The moment I stepped out the door, the sunlight shone down, and the air seemed to become fresher.

Summer, bathed in the bright sunshine once again, breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally thought that attending the Wanxing Pirate Group's pirate conference was just a formality, and that he would be able to follow his cousin Hercules, the father of Wanxing, completely.

But who could have imagined that so many changes would occur?

Fortunately, Cousin Hercules successfully escaped with Cousin Locke without any problems, which relieved Xia Fa a lot.

On the other hand, witnessing the battles of the rulers up close was also very rewarding for Xia Fa.

According to rumors and records from many occult books he had read, demigods generally possess the ability to destroy a small town like Rum City.

Of course, this doesn't mean that any demigod could destroy a small town with a wave of their hand. Rather, it means that if demigods fought recklessly and to the death, the destructive power of their battle would be enough to destroy a small town inhabited by humans or demi-humans.

Upon reaching the rank of angel, if one were to unleash their full power, they could even destroy a colossal city like Augustus or the City of a Thousand Stars.

As for rulers... they all basically possess the power to destroy a nation.

Therefore, when Xia Fa first saw the Crimson Agents take action, he thought that the City of Ten Thousand Stars and even the Worm Islands would be destroyed.

Fortunately, the Shark Princess blocked the aftershocks of the battle between the Overlords. On the other hand, the battle between the Overlords seemed to have transcended mere destructive power and reached a higher level.

For example, the Crimson Executor's Soul-Destroying Bullets have "tracking" and "guaranteed hit" capabilities.

And the ability of the Thousand-Faced Prophet to make space "die".
As for the Roaring Emperor, although he didn't seem to have played a significant role, he was actually the one who posed the greatest threat to his cousin Hercules, who was the father of all stars.

Otherwise, Cousin Hercules wouldn't have chosen to flee when the roaring emperor grew those two tumor-like monstrous arms.

"So, the 'exile' and 'seal' within Starshine's body can be used in this way..."

Recalling the scene of her cousin Hercules escaping with her cousin Locke, Xia Fa felt a sudden realization.

The core secret ability of the Gate of Stars, "Starlight Body," can unleash five abilities: "Starlight," "Exile," "Seal," "Gravity," and "Teleport."

Hercules' cousin repeatedly transforms into a sky full of starlight, only to solidify into a physical form each time, which is a manifestation of the "starlight" ability.

But Xia Fa didn't expect that at the last moment, her cousin Hercules would choose to "exile" himself and her cousin Locke, almost attracting an unknown being wandering in the Protoss realm.

It was the aura of that unknown being that scared off the Crimson Agent, the Howling Emperor, and the Thousand-Faced Prophet, who still wanted to pursue them to the Protoss Realm.

But just as these two extraordinary monarchs and one overlord were frightened away, Hercules' cousin "sealed" the Protoss Realm entrance that had appeared due to the "exile," and thus successfully escaped.

It has to be said that this move was truly brilliant, giving the impression that the power of the Gate of Stars, a supreme-level secret contract, was used to completely outmaneuver these extraordinary monarchs and rulers.

"No wonder my cousin has always been so calm..."

Xia Fa sighed inwardly, feeling quite regretful that he hadn't been able to learn from his cousin Hercules how to deeply develop the various secret abilities of the Star Gate.

Fortunately, Cousin Hercules is still alive; all that's left is to find a way to contact him.

Xia Fa especially wanted to know how his cousin had become the Fishman Emperor.

Moreover, since He is the Fishman Emperor and a supernatural being, why was He able to sign the Star Gate, a top-tier secret agreement, and develop it so well?
"My cousin's territory is no longer safe. It's likely that the Crimson Executors will take the lion's share, with the Roaring Emperor and the Thousand-Faced Prophet each taking a cut..."

Although he possessed the legendary treasure of a "carved-out face," out of caution and prudence, Xia Fa decided to follow his heart and go directly to the territory of the Shark Princess.

Just now, Princess Shark had essentially saved him again, making Xia Fa increasingly suspicious of the connection between Princess Shark and Auf.

Especially after learning that the Father of All Stars was Hercules' cousin...

"Do the rulers have some means to turn themselves into mortals, mingle among humans for decades, and then regain their status and identity as rulers?"

Xia Fa pondered for a moment, but quickly dismissed the idea.

The main problem is that I've never heard of this situation before, and it's not recorded in any books.

Moreover, if it were a ruler like Marshal Gaius or His Majesty Octavian, that would be fine, since the Kingdom of Augu has not had a war for hundreds of years and there is no need for rulers to take action.

However, battles take place at sea all the time. Even if the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and Princess Shark could become ordinary people, they couldn't just live in the Kingdom of Augu for decades. Otherwise, their pirates would have been wiped out long ago.

"I'll have to wait until I contact my cousin in Shanghai, Gris, to ask..."

Xia Fa put away his wandering thoughts, looked up at the bustling and noisy street, and began to think about what to do next.

The most pressing task at present is either to find Prince Justinian or to find a pirate of angelic rank, to fight a major battle, and to advance the progress of understanding the Stargate.

However, it seems that finding Prince Justinian or the pirate with the angelic title is not so easy...

"It's here! The bounty list has been updated for today!"

Suddenly, a pirate shouted in the distance, and many pirates swarmed around it.

Xia Fa didn't move; he stood still, watching the pirates posting bounty lists on a bulletin board outside a tavern.

But almost the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

At the top of the bulletin board was a half-body portrait of a pirate with a sinister grin, with the details of the bounty below.

This pirate had a face full of menacing features and wore a black captain's hat, but what was most striking was that both of his hands were iron hooks.

Captain Hook

[Rank: Angel]

[Bounty: Three million gold pounds, or equivalent treasures, sealed artifacts, extraordinary fruits, extraordinary metals, traveling whales, etc.]

[Note: The person can be either dead or alive, but at least a head or a corpse must be visible.]

"Hiss... Three million gold pounds?"

Xia Fa was initially startled, but then his mind began to work.

He vaguely remembered Captain Hook from Captain Red Pufferfish, a pirate captain who was just as wicked as Bloodfang Butcher, but far more hated.

The reason is simple: Captain Hook's favorite thing to do is to rob other pirate ships of their captured whales and then wipe out everyone on board, leaving no one alive.

Just in time, he was short of money and needed an angelic enemy to practice on. After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa walked to the bulletin board.

The bulletin board was crowded with pirates and bounty hunters, and even adventurers and super hunters. It took Xia Fa a lot of effort to finally squeeze in.

Chi la——!
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he reached out and tore down the wanted poster, then turned and left.

Many pirates gathered in front of the notice board were initially stunned, but then realized what had happened.

"I...I'm not seeing things, am I? This kid doesn't even have the aura of a demigod, yet he dares to accept this bounty?"

"Captain Hook is notoriously vengeful. If people find out that someone dared to accept the bounty for hunting him down, it will likely provoke his furious revenge!"

"Wait, is it possible that this kid is picking up his captain?"

"Makes sense."

"But that doesn't make sense. On the Baron Ocean, if the five pirate emperors don't make a move, who would dare to provoke Captain Hook?"

"Yes! Captain Hook may not be a hegemon, but I've heard he's even more difficult to deal with than a hegemon!"

"Interesting, there are more and more fearless oddballs at sea these days..."
