I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 194 - 188: Sorry, I’m Late

According to 'attack and defense' calculations, every Saint-level powerhouse is like a humanoid missile launcher.

Moreover, they are highly maneuverable, capable of flying and traveling underground, continually unleashing the destructive power equivalent to hundreds of missiles, which is why Nanshan Country does not dare to neglect these top powerhouses.

Soon, the Saint-level powerhouses from seven countries arrived one after another, along with the two Saint-level high priests beside Prime Minister Nanshan, gathering a total of nine Tier Seven powerhouses.

These people were like dormant giant beasts, emitting a terrifying aura that ordinary people dared not approach.

Immediately, the huge hall centered around the nine powerhouses and Prime Minister Nanshan, forming a ten-meter radius empty area, with the upper echelons of Nanshan Country standing around resembling minions.

A young man with glasses exclaimed, "This is the power of stepping into the Saint Tier; even when they restrain their aura, the suppression of higher life layers over lower ones remains majestic as a king."

"Siyu sister, do you want to meet the Saint-level powerhouses of various countries? My dad's over there; we could use his name to greet them."

"Ah... No need." Qin Siyu quickly declined.

Just Transcendents, her family isn't short of them, and those people don't feel stronger than Jiang Hou, who can transform into a giant beast. What's there to know?

But before Moke could say more, suddenly, the sound of saluting cannons rang out, and both Prime Minister Nanshan and those Saint-level powerhouses looked solemnly towards the entrance.

There, the honor guard of Nanshan Country first entered, followed by black-red uniformed figures draped in black cloaks appearing along the red carpet.

"It's the people of Dongqin."

"The person walking in front seems to have a General's insignia."

"Not just that; the people behind have General rank insignias too, one Vice Admiral, six Major Generals..."

Hiss!!

The sound of inhalation filled the hall; compared to other countries that can only muster one Saint-level powerhouse, Dongqin's military can easily deploy seven Tier Sevens.

Moreover, according to Dongqin's military hierarchy, the leading black-haired girl is at least a Tier Eight Legend, even among legends she is considered strong.

As Jiang Ruochan, Jiang Hou, and others entered the hall, a middle-aged man in a luxurious robe and crown and an elder in a Divine Robe appeared behind them.

The two are respectively the King of Nanshan Country and the Moon God High Priest.

Nanshan Country's official structure is akin to a dual system of monarchal constitutionalism, with the king as the spiritual leader and national symbol, holding some power.

Meanwhile, the Moon God Sect's High Priest is the openly acknowledged strongest figure, stationed yearly opposite the passage, with the five high priests below being Tier Seven Saint Tiers.

Besides the Moon God Sect, several other Divine Teachings in Nanshan also have Saint-level figures presiding.

With numerous Divine Envoys under these Divine Teachings, whether in military or Extraordinary Realm combat strength, they are stronger than Abudan, considered a strong nation around.

Today's banquet is a formal diplomatic ceremony between the two countries, thus both the king and high priest are present.

Under everyone's solemn gaze, the King of Nanshan Country and the High Priest warmly shook hands with Jiang Ruochan and the seven Demon Suppression Generals behind them.

Afterward, other powerhouses from the seven countries stepped forward as well, exchanged greetings, and began speeches between 'leaders' from both sides.

Watching the solemn scene from afar, with Demon Suppression Generals exuding powerful auras on the main stage, the noblewoman beside Natalie expressed amazement.

"Dongqin is truly one of the world's dominant powers, with a frightening number of strong individuals."

"Indeed." Natalie nodded perfunctorily, her gaze resting on the black-haired youth in the middle of the row of Demon Suppression Generals with red highlights in his hair.

And it wasn't just her; the moment Dongqin's group appeared, Qin Buyi and Qin Siyu noticed that familiar figure among the crowd.

Seeing Jiang Hou's black-red military uniform adorned with a gold dragon head epaulet signifying a General, Qin Buyi was a bit bewildered.

A few days without seeing him, Jiang Hou has become a General?

An eighteen-year-old General?

Noticing the strange expressions of Qin Buyi's family, the noblewoman instinctively remarked, "What, is there someone you know among Dongqin's Generals, President Na?"

Already annoyed by her previous high attitude, Qin Buyi casually nodded, "He's somewhat familiar; after all, we raised him from a young age; it's hard not to be familiar."

"...Raised from a young age?" The noblewoman was taken aback.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hou, in military attire, surveyed the surroundings and soon spotted Qin Buyi and the three standing in the corner.

Immediately, Jiang Hou's face broke into a smile and he greeted Xia Longyuan and the others beside him, "Minister Xia, Minister Lei, I have to leave for a moment."

Having said that, he moved directly towards them, not minding the speech being delivered by the King of Nanshan.

As Jiang Hou moved through the crowd, people instinctively scattered, forming a path as he walked towards Qin Buyi and his family beneath everyone's gaze.

Before Jiang Hou got close, a pretty girl with a red mark on her forehead quickly ran over, "Jiang Hou, you're here."

"Here, I saved these for you; they're delicious."

"Is that so? I am actually a bit hungry." Jiang Hou accepted the plate of desserts, used a fork to take a piece resembling a lotus flower, and put it in his mouth.

"How is it?" The girl asked expectantly.

Jiang Hou nodded and gave a thumbs up, "Delicious."

Hehe!! The girl's face broke into a happy smile, her eyes narrowing like crescent moons, filled with the satisfaction of having her efforts recognized.

"Uncle, have you been enjoying yourself these days?" Jiang Hou said, looking at the woman who appeared to be in her thirties, with a gentle temperament, expressing apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Aunt, I meant to come and visit you a few days ago, but some things came up and delayed me."

Natalie shook her head, "No need for apologies, Jiang Hou, your position is different now, your matters are important, my home is always open for you to visit."

At this moment Qin Buyi touched Jiang Hou's shoulder epaulet, puzzled, "Jiang Hou, when did you become a Demon Suppression General?"

Jiang Hou casually replied, "After you and Siyu boarded the plane, I went into seclusion, and after a few days of cultivating, I broke through to Tier Seven Saint Tier."

"Later, while sweeping graves at Demon Sea, I met the president, because of the worsening situation in Abudan, she was appointed to oversee the battle here."

"As the Demon Suppression General, she has five Demon Suppression General positions, asked if I wanted one, and that's how my rank became a Major General."

Regarding his parents' revenge and hunting the Evil God, Jiang Hou did not mention it; no need.

Still, after Jiang Hou finished speaking, not only were Qin Buyi and Natalie surprised, but the noblewoman standing nearby was completely bewildered.

Cultivating a few days to break through Tier Seven; his relaxed tone making Tier Seven seem like commonplace and having a choice for the position of Demon Suppression General.

Has Dongqin's military rank advancement become so easy now, Generals being casually distributed?

Noticing Jiang Hou and Qin Siyu's intimate exchange and attitude in speaking with Qin Buyi and family, the noblewoman quietly pulled her son away without even a greeting.

"Mom, why are you pulling me away, I haven't greeted Siyu sister yet." Moke turned his head while being pulled.

"Shut up, overseas study in Bauhinia for a few years and still no discernment? Plus, stop thinking about President Na's daughter."

Thinking back, the noblewoman felt fortunate, at least her previous demeanor was decent enough.

Before Jiang Hou appeared, she could maintain a high posture towards Natalie, seeing her as merely a collateral member of the Song Muwemeng Clan, with average status in the family.

Thus, in her view, her son liking the suddenly appearing daughter of Natalie's family was a blessing for them, but unexpectedly...

On the stage, as the Moon God High Priest was solemnly speaking, in the corner below, Qin Siyu excitedly pulled Jiang Hou to the long row of tables.

Qin Siyu pointed at several exquisite desserts, "Jiang Hou, I haven't tried these few, you check if they taste good."

Jiang Hou looked at her quizzically, "Why aren't you eating them?"

"I am kind of full, I have saved some 'space' for the best desserts, so you have to taste them; beside you have a large appetite."

The girl spoke confidently; faced with this, Jiang Hou had no choice but to comply with her request and taste each dessert along the table.

While Jiang Hou was being led around by Qin Siyu for a meal, Natalie was surrounded by numerous acquaintances, all probing about her relationship with the Dongqin Demon Suppression General.

Qin Buyi watched from afar at the youth in the distinguished military attire, feeling a sense of accomplishment as he observed the high-haired black youth who seemed to obey the girl's every word.
