I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 128 - 123: World Shards

At the edge of the branch, the vortex in the nature park has vanished, replaced by a horizontal purple light barrier over fifty meters high, stretching for hundreds of meters.

After dozens of tanks and howitzer vehicles entered the light barrier, they were followed by engineering vehicles pulling cables.

Inside the barrier is another Yidu.

However, the sky and ruins here are as dark as dusk, the land is silent, trees on both sides of the road are lifeless, and the streets are devoid of people.

Apart from similar skyscrapers and buildings, there is nothing else.

After the tanks entered, they moved along the main road, while howitzers and the artillery that had preceded them, along with multiple rocket launch vehicles, moved to the sides to find suitable positions.

Fifteen engineering vehicles dispersed across three main roads, starting to lay cables through the city to establish temporary base station signal towers.

At the edge of the rooftop of a building over two hundred meters high, as Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nan Mo watched the tanks pass below, Jiang Ruochan spoke indifferently.

"This alternate dimension, formed by the fusion of the Power of the World at the convergence of two realms, is what’s known as a large passage, as well as a buffer zone."

"Spanning half of Yidu, it covers an area tens to nearly a hundred kilometers long and wide. The entrance to the ruins is at the edge of the other end of the suburbs, where Xia Longyuan and the others are stationed."

"Due to its vast range and connection to the outside, we can set up various heavy firepower equipment to form military fortifications, including communication radars."

"Similarly, the monsters in the ruins are not suppressed here; they can exert their full power."

Jiang Hou spoke: "President, the Demon God’s invasion this time is so formidable, yet the main combat personnel in the Yidu City Branch only number around thirty. Aren’t we going to seek aid from surrounding branches?"

In the Yidu City Branch, there’s only Xia Longyuan at Tier Six, Yu Jing at Tier Five, and a dozen or so Tier Four and Tier Three Transcendents left.

This level of strength is sufficient for general defense, but it’s inadequate against the monster tide stirred by the Tier Seven Demon God’s invasion.

Even though Jiang Ruochan can fend off the Demon God, currently known is that there are already three Tier Six Peak Fierce Beasts, with other Tier Six and Tier Five monsters numbering at least a hundred.

After all, at the moment, the Dark Armored Giant Ape is wreaking havoc in the ruins, and there are already ten or so Tier Five monsters and fierce beasts with the Demon God mark on their foreheads.

However, rockets and artillery can only deal with lower-tier beings; they’re somewhat threatening to Tier Four, but largely ineffective against Tier Five monsters.

Tier Five monsters possess astonishing speed, combined with a thick layer of protective energy around their bodies, they can easily dodge unless directly hit by rockets.

"Originally, I planned to bring over two people, but now adding you, it should be manageable."

"As for mass support, Xia Longyuan and the others wouldn’t agree, because the appearance of each large passage is an enormous opportunity."

"Opportunity?" Zong Zheng Nan Mo was stunned, not understanding the nature of such an invasion.

"Yes, opportunity." Jiang Ruochan nodded.

"Every time a Demon God invasion erupts, the strength enhancement rate of all Transcendents who primarily fend off the invasion suddenly increases."

"During this period, pollution entering the Transcendents’ bodies while absorbing Energy Crystals and Demon Power Crystals becomes very low."

"Therefore, after blocking the Demon God’s assault earlier, Xia Longyuan entered the alternate dimension to seclude himself, aiming to break through to the Tier Six Peak before the Demon God invasion fully erupts."

"Yu Jing and Shentu Ni are the same, all seeking to use this opportunity to break through."

"Including you, the more monsters you kill during this time in the alternate dimension, the greater the empowerment you receive, giving Zong Zheng the chance to potentially break through Tier Four."

"Such a good opportunity!" Zong Zheng Nan Mo’s eyes widened.

Jiang Ruochan spoke lightly: "Otherwise, you think Xia Longyuan, a Late-tier Six powerhouse, stationed in Yidu for these years, did so for what reason, when he can’t enter small passages."

"This time, as long as we can withstand the Demon God’s invasion, he may, having accumulated for years, break through to Tier Seven Holy Domain in one go."

"This invisible empowerment offers considerable elevation." Even Jiang Hou was somewhat surprised, feeling a surge of motivation.

Jiang Ruochan shook her head: "Of course, it’s not exaggerated to that extent. What might enable Xia Longyuan to break through to Tier Seven is the World Primordial Energy found in the relics beyond the passage after repelling or slaying that Demon God."

"World Primordial Energy is a special energy dispersing from star core fragments left by the collapse of an ancient civilization."

"Unpolluted, pure, gentle, and absorbable directly by Transcendents."

"This Demon God’s resurgence results from being nourished long-term by World Primordial Energy, which allowed its not entirely decayed body to regenerate a soul consciousness."

"As members of the Heavenly Doom who successfully fend off the invasion, each will have some time to absorb the Primordial Energy later before it becomes part of the entire Heavenly Doom’s common resource."

"Such benefits." Zong Zheng Nan Mo’s expression was excited.

Then Jiang Ruochan glanced at her watch: "I have other matters to attend to, you should head to the frontline yourselves and find a spot where no one is stationed to guard."

Whoosh! After speaking, Jiang Ruochan soared into the sky, disappearing into the purple light barrier with a few leaps.

"Let’s go forward and check it out." With that, Jiang Hou grabbed Zong Zheng Nan Mo’s shoulder, and with a leap, they jumped down from the over two hundred meters high building.

The two figures suddenly plummeted rapidly.

As they approached fifty meters from the ground, Zong Zheng Nan Mo’s hair whipped wildly in the wind.

Bang! The azure whirlwind around them howled and solidified, forming a tornado that held them up. They glided a short distance before landing on the street.

On the way to the other side of the city, Zong Zheng Nan Mo was a bit excited: "Jiang Hou, this time I’m counting on you to cover me. I want to kill more monsters and break through to Tier Four sooner."

Jiang Hou nodded: "No problem."

The two had a good relationship; with the big battle breaking out, he would certainly take care of Zong Zheng Nan Mo.

Moreover, this guy, despite his current mediocre strength, had a fortune-telling ability that involved luck, which was very useful. In the future, in the ruins, they might need his help.

Soon, the two arrived at the edge of the city on the other side.

They saw several kilometers of desolate suburbs, and the black fog stood like a canopy in front of them, spanning tens of kilometers across the sky and earth.

In the middle of the black fog was a two-kilometer-long area where a purple light curtain emitted a faint glow, clearly the entrance to the ruins.

At this moment, a corner of the purple light curtain twisted slightly, and then the figure of a creature over four meters high appeared.

Bang! As soon as the Tier Two monster emerged, its head exploded with a bang.

"20 points in hand." Duan Xuan in the distance chuckled as he stowed away the sniper cannon with a smoking muzzle, then waved at Jiang Hou and the arriving duo.

"Zong Zheng, Brother Jiang, you came too."

"Brother Duan, are you planning to camp here?"

Zong Zheng Nan Mo jogged over and looked at the mound of single-person rocket launchers, anti-tank rockets piled behind Duan Xuan, and the machine cannon and ammo chains mounted on the rear building, somewhat surprised.

Duan Xuan said proudly: "This is a rare opportunity to boost strength; I’m planning to make a big move. I asked my dad for a large sum of money to buy ammunition."

"Brother Duan also knows about the blessing?" Zong Zheng Nan Mo paused.

Duan Xuan nodded: "Of course, it’s spread among the official members of the branch. I learned it from Brother Jiang. Didn’t you all know?"

Zong Zheng Nan Mo shook his head: "If it weren’t for the president mentioning it earlier, we wouldn’t know that there are benefits to the Demon God’s invasion."

"It’s normal. After all, you’ve only been in the branch for less than a month, and the formal contact time with everyone is shorter, with little interaction."

Even Duan Xuan was a bit emotional when he said this. Zong Zheng Nan Mo breaking through from Tier One to Tier Three in a month was impressive, but barely normal.

However, Jiang Hou’s rate of power growth was a bit exaggerated; just over a week ago, his third attempt had just broken through the early Tier Four, and a couple of days ago, he could already one-shot Tier Four Peak fierce beasts.

At this point, Duan Xuan remembered something and suddenly said: "By the way, Brother Jiang, my dad wants to invite you to dinner."

"...Invite me, is there something up?" Jiang Hou was startled.

Duan Xuan chuckled: "It’s nothing major, he just wants to ask a favor. When the Demon God’s invasion breaks out, he hopes you can look out for me a bit."

Jiang Hou shook his head: "Forget the dinner, no need to be so polite."

"We’re all friends here. Even if it wasn’t mentioned, if I have a chance, I’ll definitely help you when Brother Duan is in danger."

Jiang Hou had a good impression of Duan Xuan as someone generous, bold, and loyal, without any bad habits typical of second-generation rich kids.

"I knew you’d say that, Brother Jiang."

Duan Xuan chuckled: "You can skip the meal, but you must accept the hundred million gift my dad prepared for you. After all, he has so much money, it would be a waste not to take it."

"What, a hundred million!" Zong Zheng Nan Mo’s eyes widened.

"Yes, a hundred million." Duan Xuan nodded.

Gasp! Zong Zheng Nan Mo took a cold breath: "Brother Duan, what does your dad do to have so much money?"

"It’s not much; he just has a few mines nearby and more than a dozen real estate properties in Yidu." Duan Xuan spoke lightly, but it represented at least tens of billions in assets.

It turned out this guy’s family really had mines.

Jiang Hou slowly shook his head: "...Brother Duan, I can’t give you an absolute guarantee. When the entire battlefield is chaotic, and there’s a Demon God present..."

Although he was very short of money recently, the hundred million wasn’t that easy to accept.

Even if he transformed into a giant beast, carrying forged heavy weapons, he could only ensure a certain level of self-preservation during the Demon God’s invasion battle.

Ignoring the existence of the Demon God, he needed at least the Tier Six Peak combat strength to confidently traverse the battlefield. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Having lived two lives, even though he hadn’t achieved much in the past, Jiang Hou valued promises greatly and wouldn’t casually agree to things he couldn’t accomplish.
