I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 124 - 119: Behemoth Armament (2)

"A million, that’s quite an exaggeration." Jiang Hou paused.

"Of course."

"Originally, I planned to use a method of wrapping gold in silver, filling the interior with high-strength alloy, and crafting the exterior with extraordinary materials to create a battleship sword 20 to 30 meters long, which was expected to cost 10 to 20 thousand points."

"But I didn’t expect you to want to craft a steel pillar 80 meters long and over five meters thick. This kind of weapon requires an astonishing amount of materials, and the high-strength alloy filling the inside alone is worth more than a billion."

"Plus, the extraordinary materials that must cover the exterior, which will cost at least 20 thousand points."

Jiang Ruochan shook her head: "This weapon consumes too many materials, I can only help you with half, the rest you’ll have to gather yourself."

"You happen to have over seven thousand points in hand, and you’re still short of three thousand points and fifty million in funds."

"In the black market, 1 point is 5000, so it’s a matter of ten thousand points. If you still want to craft a giant beast weapon, I can apply for a loan for you."

"You can loan points!" Jiang Hou paused.

Jiang Ruochan smiled faintly: "Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible, but since the Demon God is about to invade, many rules can be slightly bent to enhance combat strength."

"These points can be easily gathered by killing a few Tier Six monsters in the monster tide—it’s not a big problem."

Jiang Hou nodded, calculating as Jiang Ruochan did, it seemed like ten thousand wasn’t that hard.

Hard, my foot. Based on the task of killing a Tier Four for 150 points, Tier Five for 600 points, and Tier Six for 3000 per head, he’d have to kill at least five Tier Six to gather enough.

And Tier Six creatures already ignored most heavy firearms, possessing formidable physical strength and powerful talent abilities, making it difficult to severely injure them without suppressing ranks.

"No problem, I believe in you. Think about the sight of you in giant beast form, wielding the oversized extraordinary weapon, effortlessly smashing a Tier Six monster’s head."

"However, custom weapons take a lot of time, especially such a massive one that you need."

"Initial shape design, mold crafting, extraordinary material forging, and extracting enough alloy."

"So it’s best to place the order now and have the logistics weapon department mobilize all forces to work overtime to see if they can finish before the Demon God’s invasion."

"So, do you want to go for it?"

Thinking of the image of a Dark Armored Giant Ape wielding a nearly hundred-meter-tall weapon, Jiang Hou took a deep breath and nodded fiercely: "Do it!"

The giant beast form is his true self; the human form is just for convenience in daily activities. There’s no reason to miss a chance to significantly enhance the Giant Ape’s strength.

Especially when someone is helping cover half the ’funding’.

As for the Tier Six permissions, Jiang Ruochan can open it, but it requires an application to the headquarters and might take two days. After all, Tier Six are already guardians of regions outside.

...

In the evening.

During dinner, Qin Siyu suddenly said: "Jiang Hou, let’s go shopping later. Jiajia and the others mentioned that the night market over by Lily Street has been really lively recently."

"Shopping... alright." Facing the girl’s expectant gaze, Jiang Hou nodded. Anyway, he usually waits for Qin Siyu to return to her room before entering the ruins at night.

Though Lily Street seems close to the branch, just a few streets apart.

After finishing dinner, when Jiang Hou had tidied up the kitchen, the sky had already darkened, and the two went out to catch a cab.

"Hey, you are..."

Jiang Hou looked at the private cab driver he summoned through the phone app, feeling a bit familiar. It seemed to be Bai Feng, one of the Tier Four masters of the Yidu City Branch.

Moreover, his strength was really strong, having reached the peak of Tier Four. Jiang Hou had encountered him once during the third spatial impact.

But a Tier Four Transcendent earning at least a hundred thousand a month, why would he run Didi rides?

In the driver’s seat, the ordinary-looking thirty-something man smiled: "Brother Jiang, no need to be surprised, it’s me."

Sitting in the back seat, Jiang Hou hesitated: "Is there some trouble at your house, Brother Bai?" Beside him, Qin Siyu was also looking curiously.

The young man chuckled: "No troubles, I just really like driving, interacting with people, it makes me feel I’m still human."

"You haven’t been awakened for long, little brother, so you haven’t encountered our challenges."

"As your power increases, you wield the capability to destroy everything with a simple gesture, and that feeling of being above mortals grows stronger, leading to apathy towards surrounding lives."

"Just last week, inexplicably discontented, I slapped my daughter’s dog, which I had raised for years, to death."

"Although my daughter forgave me afterward, I fear losing control and hurting my wife or daughter one day."

"So recently, aside from mission time, I try to live as an ordinary person, driving, and chatting with different people..."

Perhaps it was because he encountered a colleague, Bai Feng talked a lot with Jiang Hou on the way, including some experiences on coping with spiritual contamination.

They only stopped when they reached Lily Street.

"Brother Jiang, have fun." Outside the night market street, the ordinary-looking young man waved to Jiang Hou and Qin Siyu as they got out of the car.

"Thanks, Brother Bai."

Even though it was their first contact with Bai Feng, Jiang Hou found the person quite nice, even though he clearly had some mental health issues.

Additionally, because of Bai Feng, Qin Siyu, who was initially quite excited, wasn’t feeling very high-spirited even after entering the bustling night market street, frowning still.

Jiang Hou smiled faintly: "What, worried about me?"

"Just a ’little bit’." The girl said as she looked up at him, biting her lip softly.

Unlike the people seen on television who mutate instantly after contact with pollution, witnessing strong Transcendents losing control bit by bit seemed more despairing.

Jiang Hou patted the girl’s hair: "Don’t worry, I won’t lose control. I promised you we’d go to college together, support Uncle’s retirement together."

"Otherwise, without me, you as a girl couldn’t hold up a family."

"Eww~ Don’t underestimate me, I’m quite capable. In these years, after expenses, I’ve already saved..." At this point, the girl stopped abruptly, quickly covering her mouth.

"Fess up, how much dowry have you saved?"

"Not telling you."

The girl proudly tilted her head, her mood seemingly much lifted, then changed the subject: "Look, Jiang Hou, that thing looks delicious, let’s go and get one to try."

"Jiang Hou, Jiang Hou, does this look good on me?"

"Looks great."

"You answered too quickly, not sincere enough."

"Jiang Hou, look at this little turtle, it’s so cute. Let’s buy it and take it home."

"Forget it, we already have a pet at home."

Meow~ On Jiang Hou’s shoulder, the white kitten that had been quietly lying there protested, for Master Feitong was no mere pet.

Having not visited the night market in over a month, Qin Siyu was extremely enthusiastic, looking at everything, whether clothing, food, or toys, with great interest.

However, the girl hardly bought anything, unless it was a snack she really wanted to try.

Though Jiang Hou’s salary was quite ’high’ now, long-term frugality had made the girl not accustomed to spending money extravagantly.

But right at the bustling night market street, amid the bustling crowds, an unexpected purple vortex of several meters in diameter appeared out of thin air dozens of meters above the street.

The moment the vortex appeared, it expanded rapidly, emitting an eerie purple glow. Simultaneously, a terrifying aura of a rank above Tier Six erupted from deep within the vortex.

Roar!

The terrifying roar shook the heavens and the earth, the Demon God’s aura instilled instant fear as screams of terror erupted; legs trembling, strong sonic waves whipped up gales sweeping across the land.

Instantly, everyone panicked and hysterically fled outward.

Boom!

The moment the roar sounded, black and white light radiated from Jiang Hou’s body, black demonic energy erupted, transforming into a vortex shield under his feet to block the gale and the oppressive aura of the Demon God from across realms.

Still, despite that, Qin Siyu—being held by him—turned pale, her body trembling instinctively.

Tier Seven creatures have transcended the ordinary, on a life level beyond mortals, the invisible pressure they emit harbors a soul-shattering spiritual force, which ordinary people simply cannot endure.

Centered on the purple vortex, furious gusts spawned by the roar swept across the street, blowing away stands, items, and even some people.

Amid the gale, only Jiang Hou stood firm in the middle of the street, looking at the tear-streaked face of fear in his arms, and in an instant, a terrifying murderous intent erupted within him.

"Demon God!"
