Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 19 Attack!

On the second page of the Entity Witness Notes, there is a drawing of a near-perfect being.

She was about five meters tall, but her proportions were unbelievably good. She had two pairs of transparent wings and a pair of long legs with yellow and white stripes, making it almost impossible to look away.

Her face, in particular, was incredibly alluring, yet her eyes were as clear as a lake, carrying the naivety of a young girl.

It was... the killer bee queen that Xia Fa encountered in the cave!

In fact, Xia Fa had long suspected that the killer bee queen might be a physical entity.

They even vaguely knew her name: "Chief of Ten Thousand Poisons".

Because, earlier in the cave, when Chestnut casually mentioned the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons, he clearly felt the doll girl Beneath who was holding his arm tremble.

Considering that Beneath had previously been hunted down by this killer bee queen...

However, now that it has been completely confirmed that the Queen Killer Bee is indeed a physical entity, Xia Fa is still somewhat horrified, and more doubts are arising in his mind.

The biggest question is, why is this entity called the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons hunting down Benedict?
On the other hand, it's quite remarkable that Benedict was able to escape from the pursuit of a physical being.

According to Banli, the entity is one that even the church's higher-ups have to avoid.

His gaze immediately shifted to the notes related to the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons.

[Chief of All Poisons, Queen of the Holy Poison Bees, Veronica]

The shape is shown in the picture below.

[The Poison Patriarch Veronica is an entity without a fixed behavioral pattern. Sometimes she is extremely dangerous, but at other times, her actions bring unexpected opportunities.]

Specifically, the Poison Patriarch Veronica randomly targets ordinary people or superhumans, implanting "bee eggs" into them.

These bee eggs cannot be removed by any means, or rather, once removed, the host will die immediately.

The bee eggs will hatch rapidly within a month by aggressively absorbing nutrients from the host.

During the process, a transparent blister will gradually rise on the body of the infected person, mainly on the back or waist, within which a creature resembling a killer bee can be faintly seen.

The current record for the largest bubble diameter is three meters.

Upon seeing this, Xia Fa felt a chill for no reason and touched his lower back, which felt like it had been pricked by a needle.

An extremely absurd yet terrifying thought rose uncontrollably in his mind.

"Could it be that I was just... implanted with bee eggs by this Poisonous Chieftain?"

Especially considering that he had met Veronica, the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons, just yesterday, and that the entity had given him several very strange looks...

Xia Fa took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his inner fear, and continued watching.

What we need to do now is to gather more intelligence.

Only then can we make an accurate judgment and see if there is any chance for things to turn around!

After the bubble bursts, a killer bee-like creature will emerge from it. It usually has a human face that is highly similar to the appearance of the host. We call it the "Holy Poison Bee".

Interestingly, after each holy poison wasp is born, its remaining vesicles contain a large amount of viscous liquid, resembling honey, that it failed to absorb during the hatching process.

This liquid was named Holy Honey. It was extremely delicious and had a great effect on stabilizing the sanity of superhumans. Therefore, both the nine major churches and nobles were buying it at high prices.

"This……"

Upon seeing this, Xia Fa suddenly felt a surge of grievances, but didn't know where to begin.

Could it be that what the notes mentioned at the beginning—being targeted by the Poison Patriarch Veronica—might actually be a good thing?

Sure enough, the following notes clearly stated:

[Once someone is infected with "bee eggs" by Patriarch Veronica of Ten Thousand Poisons, if they choose to report it, the church or nobles will provide them with free food and medical care throughout the month-long incubation period, asking only for holy honey as payment. They will also provide a large sum of money after the event is over.]

Xia Fa suddenly realized that for some desperate people, this might actually be a good thing...

Free food and drinks for a month, plus a large sum of money at the end, maybe you'll never have to work again in your life, who wouldn't want that?
But as he continued reading, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

Based on tracking records over the past few hundred years, once the sacred poison wasp successfully hatches, it will not cause any subsequent effects on the body of ordinary people. The blisters will also fall off quickly, and the wound will heal completely within a few days, without even leaving a scar.

However, conversely, if the host doesn't consume a large amount of food daily during the month-long hatching period of the sacred poison wasp, providing sufficient nutrients to the wasp, it will be gradually drained of its flesh and blood by the wasp eggs!

[Back when Veronica, the Queen of All Poisons, first appeared, there were countless cases of people being literally sucked dry by bee eggs, turning into skeletons.]

On the other hand, if a superhuman is implanted with bee eggs, there is a significant chance that they will lose control of their superhuman power. Even if the bee eggs successfully hatch, the superhuman may be unable to control their superhuman power and thus lose their path to superhuman abilities.

"If there isn't enough nutrition, will they be drained of their flesh and blood?"

"If a superhuman is parasitized, they become particularly prone to losing control?"

Xia Fa couldn't help but touch his waist again, praying that he hadn't been infected with bee eggs by the Poisonous Chieftain, but had just been bitten by a mosquito.

Just like when I saw the House of Imagination, this is too eerie... And regarding the notes of Veronica, the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons, only the last sentence remains.

To confirm whether you have been implanted with the Holy Queen Bee's eggs, firstly, you will feel a stinging sensation at the site of the implantation. Afterwards, you will remain quiet for three days, during which time the eggs will be undetectable by any supernatural means. Three days later, a blister the size of a lychee will appear at the site of the stinging sensation. So, good luck to everyone!

"Three days..."

Xia Fa narrowed his eyes. Now that things had come to this, he could only wait three days and see.

The problem is, he was just an ordinary person before. At worst, he would just have to endure the feeling of having bees on his back. A month would pass in the blink of an eye, and he could even make a lot of money.

But now, he understands that he is already half a superhuman.

After all, he had actually consumed two extraordinary substances and a very lavish extraordinary banquet yesterday.

In this situation, being infected with bee eggs by the Poisonous Chieftain is not a very optimistic thing.

Now, all he can do is hope that in three days, nothing will grow in that stabbing spot on the left side of his lower back.

I haven't thought of any other solutions yet.

After all, risking one's life to remove bee eggs could be fatal...

Slightly suppressing the jumble of thoughts in his mind, Xia Fa let out a long breath and continued flipping through the pages.

The third page of the notes is about a gourmet; the sketch shows him to be a very handsome man with an elegant and warm smile.

The rules are similar to what I mentioned before, just with more details.

For example, when you encounter a gourmet, you should be polite. Even if you refuse, you should act as if you are just not hungry, and you should especially not complain about the menu provided by the gourmet.

Otherwise, there's a chance it will ripen instantly, in the literal sense of ripeness.

As for the other entities, they include "The Wall of Flesh and Blood," "The Puppet Master," "The Frenzied Tomb Raider," and so on.

To his surprise, this "Entity Witness Notebook" actually recorded only a few entities, about thirty in total.

Moreover, the information becomes increasingly scarce as you go further down the list, with the last dozen or so entries consisting of only a single line of names and a few scattered records of victims.

Only the top five have truly clear and explicit rules.

This refers to three entities, including "The House of Imagination," "The Patriarch of All Poisons," and "The Gourmet."

In addition, there's the "Puppet Master" and the "Fanatic Tomb Raider".

As he was pondering this, Xia Fa suddenly noticed a four-wheeled carriage slowly coming to a stop outside the church, bearing the family crest of crossed swords and shields.

The two chestnut horses pulling the cart were tall and strong, with bulging muscles and glossy coats, clearly indicating that they were well-fed.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man who looked like a butler stepped out. He had a large belly and a very standard and polite smile on his face.

He did not go directly into the church, but stood a few meters away, looking inside with awe.

Xia Fa was sitting on the first bench closest to the church entrance when the butler immediately looked at him and spoke to him politely.

"Excuse me, is Archbishop Chestnut here? The mithril emblem she requested has been delivered."

Xia Fa's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that this little Bald would actually keep his word this time, and even arrive more than an hour early.

Just as he was about to speak, the butler suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" and looked him over a few more times.

“Young man, you’re just like our young master, a poor soul entangled with a snow demon, right? Perfect, I’ll just give you this mithril holy emblem. Remember to return it to the Silver Church when you’re done.”

He took out a sandalwood box wrapped in silk from his pocket and took out a silver badge from it.

The silver badge features a sun relief, giving it an antique and grand appearance, and it reflects light slightly in the sunlight.

The steward remained standing in front of the carriage, not coming over, seemingly because of some taboo, and dared not step into the Silver Church's chapel.

Seeing that he was eagerly waiting, Xia Fa had no choice but to stand up and walk out of the church.

But the moment he stepped out of the church...

Snow and ice descended from the sky, and the extreme low temperature spread rapidly, instantly covering the church square with white frost.

In just a moment, the white frost spread and froze the butler into an ice sculpture.

The world was a vast expanse of white, as if we had instantly entered a frigid land, a world of ice and snow.

With a thud, the mithril badge in the butler's hand, along with the sandalwood box, fell to the ground. The expression on his face was one of utter horror, his eyes wide open in the instant before he was frozen in time.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, Xiafa turned around and prepared to rush into the church without the slightest hesitation.

But an ice wall rose up and blocked him directly.
