Background / History

Little Fatty lived with Tang Fei and the Old Man in the Old Earth ruins, where he worked as a stonemason. He carried stones down from the mountain and shaped them into blocks for settlement houses, while Tang Fei hunted for food. 3

When Phoenix arrived on Old Earth, Little Fatty immediately sympathized with her. Her kindness toward him—particularly asking for his real name and teaching him how to exert force safely—won his loyalty, and he argued that Tang Fei should help her. 7

He fought beside Tang Fei and Phoenix against the Flame Shrine and later against New Star assassins. Though initially dependent on brute force, he began learning from Tang Fei's tactics, deliberately creating an opening against Flying Dagger before killing him with a punch. 11 25 32 33

After Phoenix left Old Earth, Little Fatty accompanied Tang Fei in searching for the ancient tomb marked on her map. In the Fierce God's cave, he proved unusually resistant to the remnant consciousness and the Skull Hammer's malevolent aura. Tang Fei gave him the hammer after recognizing that Little Fatty could wield it safely. 46 48 49

Later, he used the Skull Hammer and Chaos Art to rescue Bi Qingqiu and Ye Shuhua on Tang Fei's orders, destroying a Hellhound-class starship and overwhelming Jia Jun's mobile brigade. 54

Appearance

Little Fatty is notably plump, fair-skinned, and physically imposing despite his childlike demeanor. His running has been compared to a small mountain in motion. 3 22 25

• Fair and tender-skinned despite the harsh conditions of Old Earth. 3
• Round belly and chubby face; his size can exhaust the horses he rides. 46
• Often carries an oversized hammer, first as a stone-working tool and later as the Skull Hammer. 3 49
• His flushed face can twist with exertion when he channels immense strength in battle. 53

Personality

Little Fatty is simple, honest, and deeply kind-hearted. He readily trusts those who treat him well, consistently supports Phoenix, and follows Tang Fei with unwavering faith. 7 43

He is not naturally cunning, openly admitting that his mind is slow and that he cannot match Tang Fei and the Old Man's coordination. Nevertheless, he is capable of learning from observation, as shown when he used Tang Fei's habit of feigning weakness to defeat Flying Dagger. 25 33

His loyalty can make him reckless. He repeatedly puts himself between Tang Fei and danger, believing that his brute strength makes him suited to testing enemies first. 25 47

The Skull Hammer awakens a destructive impulse in him, and he comes to enjoy the exhilaration of smashing armor and fortifications in battle. His innate purity and Chaos Art prevent that impulse from fully consuming him. 59

• Forced the assassin Shadowless backward with repeated hammer strikes and numbed his sword arm. 25

Skull Hammer

The Skull Hammer is a divine artifact taken from the Fierce God's corpse and entrusted to Little Fatty by Tang Fei. 49

• Its skull-shaped head emits crimson light, black qi, resentment, and ghostly wails. 54
• Shattered a Hellhound-class starship with a single blow. 54
• Can release devastating death qi powerful enough to extinguish life and reduce surrounding vegetation to ash. 51
• The hammer's consciousness may seize control when it senses a threat, using Little Fatty's body to counterattack. 51 52
• Little Fatty's lack of malice prevents the weapon from corrupting him as it affected Tang Fei. 49

• The Old Man — His godfather and elder caretaker. The Old Man is harsh and teasing but believes strongly in Little Fatty's potential and shows him special affection. 32 42 98

• Bi Qingqiu and Ye Shuhua — He rescues the couple during a secret mission assigned by Tang Fei. 53 54
• Shen Xinglan — A powerful enemy whom Little Fatty resents for opposing Tang Fei and competing for Phoenix. Their clash triggers the Skull Hammer's consciousness. 51 53
