I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 233 - 227: Three Altar Sea Assembly God

At eight in the evening, Jiang Hou left the estate in a car belonging to the Song Muwemon family.

As the capital of a country, this place was far more prosperous than Yidu. At this time, the streets were congested with traffic, and skyscrapers lined both sides, flashing with neon lights.

What differed here from Yidu was the culture.

Seated in the car, Jiang Hou looked out at the street, where four out of ten people were wearing religious robes, and they belonged to different divine teachings.

Unfortunately, Jiang Hou wasn't in the mood to admire the foreign scenery, contemplating the big battle tomorrow instead.

Just then, Jiang Hou's phone vibrated. Jiang Ruochan sent him a message saying that a person she found to help had already landed at the Nanshan Capital Airport.

If Jiang Hou hadn't returned to the front lines yet, he could meet up first to facilitate matters tomorrow.

The message included the person's phone number and the name 'Li Jie.'

"Already here?" Jiang Hou murmured slightly, preparing to meet this eighth-ranked expert.

Jiang Hou called the number, and it quickly connected. A lazy voice answered from the other end.

"Hello, who is it?"

Jiang Hou replied politely, "Hello, Mr. Li, this is Jiang Hou."

"Jiang Hou, the one who's a Giant Beast Era Awakener." There was a hint of surprise in the voice.

"Yes, the president said you arrived at Nanshan Capital. I'm also here, not yet returned to the front lines, and wonder if you have time to meet."

"Sure, I'll send you my current address in a bit." The eighth-ranked expert responded straightforwardly, "Also, don't call me Mr. Li; it sounds weird."

"I've seen your details, and I'm only a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Li."

"...Alright, Brother Li." Jiang Hou didn't stand on ceremony.

After Jiang Hou hung up, he received a text message. The content simply read, "Please take me to the Four Dragons Barbecue Shop on Wolf Mountain Road."

"Yes, General!" The driver's tone was respectful.

More than twenty minutes later, a silver car stopped outside the Four Dragons Barbecue Shop.

This barbecue shop was large, with two floors. Half of the twenty or so tables on the first floor were already occupied, making it quite lively.

However, when Jiang Hou, dressed in a military outfit, walked in, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The owner behind the cash register swallowed nervously, "Sir, may I ask if you are here to 'dine' or...?"

"Don't mind me; I'm here for someone." Saying this, Jiang Hou surveyed the room and walked directly to a window-side seat where a youth looked to be in his twenties.

The young man had a delicate appearance, with a red flame mark on his forehead, and his black hair was tied into a loose ponytail with a red band.

However, unlike Qin Siyu, his ponytail resembled that of an ancient young warrior, with a tousled front hair and strands hanging on the sides.

His outfit consisted of a red jacket, a white T-shirt underneath, black pants, and white flat shoes, giving a relaxed appearance.

"You've arrived, sit." The youth, showing familiarity, gestured as Jiang Hou approached, "This barbecue shop has a high rating online; let's try some together later."

"Sure." Not standing on ceremony, Jiang Hou sat opposite Li Jie.

Li Jie looked at Jiang Hou with interest, "By the way, we're also in the same group chat. My name in the group is the Three Altar Sea Assembly God."

"If I remember correctly, your name in the group is the Eastern Emperor, right?"

As he said this, Li Jie seemed a bit envious, "Your name sounds more impressive than mine. If I had known, I wouldn't have listened to the group master and chosen the Three Altar Sea Assembly title."

"Three Altar Sea Assembly... Didn't expect Brother Li to be in that Investiture of the Gods group as well."

Jiang Hou was surprised, not expecting the other to be a group mate, and that the Three Altar Sea Assembly God also had another name, Prince Nezha.

With the surname Li and his delicate appearance, this person indeed bore some resemblance to mythological legends. However, his abilities were unknown to Jiang Hou.

"I've been in that silly group for years, but joining doesn't feel much different." Saying this, Li Jie shrugged, with a lazy yet slightly defiant demeanor.

There was a sense of a reputation matching the person.

This past week's busyness almost made Jiang Hou forget about joining the Investiture of the Gods group.

Now, encountering a group mate made him curious, "Isn't being inducted into the Celestial Court and erecting a god statue and palace supposed to grant the ancient Celestial Court's fortune?"

Li Jie spread his hands, "That's all ethereal; who knows if it's useful."

"Besides, if it were truly miraculous, the Ancient Celestial Court wouldn't have fallen, so don't place your hopes on it, even after joining."

"That's certain." Jiang Hou nodded, agreeing with his statement.

"By the way, Brother Jiang, how does it feel when you transform into a giant beast?"

Li Jie showed a keen interest in Jiang Hou, "I heard that the Heaven and Earth Giant Beasts in that era had vast bodies, towering over suns and moons, with endless power."

"Even so-called deities were mere food in their presence, true epoch dominators."

...So powerful! Jiang Hou was a bit dumbfounded, feeling like the Heaven and Earth Giant Beast Li Jie spoke of was a completely different species from the giant ape he transforms into.

Jiang Hou hesitated, "When I transform into a giant beast, my power skyrockets over a hundredfold, but it doesn't feel as exaggerated as Brother Li describes."

As the beast's body grows larger, the gap with the human form not only fails to narrow but becomes more pronounced.

The normal transformation is over a hundredfold of the current power, the three major talent states amplify this even more, not to mention the subsequent Bright King Form.

"Over a hundredfold..." This time it was Li Jie's turn to fall silent.

He referred to the records of the mature Heaven and Earth Giant Beasts, and Jiang Hou, as an Awakened, surely couldn't match the complete form of those beasts.

Li Jie praised, "No wonder some records from the Divine Era suggest that the Giant Beast Legacy is second only to the Immortal Demon Era."

At that moment, two waiters approached, appearing a bit nervous, "Sorry to disturb you, sirs; here are the dishes you ordered."

"Leave them here."

Speaking, the two waiters placed down the two large plates of barbecue and respectfully left.

It couldn't be helped; Jiang Hou's military outfit was intimidating, especially with the Heaven's Punishment emblem on the shoulder badge that had spread across the internet, instilling awe.

"Let's eat while we talk."

"With your strength and cross-border battle capability, Brother Jiang, it feels like it won't be long before we're comrades fighting side by side."

Li Jie said this, picking up two skewers of grilled meat and gulping them down, a satisfied expression appearing on his delicate face.

At that moment, Li Jie picked up a bottle of beer, opened it with one hand, and downed it in one go, "Refreshing, only food can easily bring happiness in this world."

"Come on, Brother Jiang, don't stand on ceremony, cheers."

"Alright." Jiang Hou nodded, also picking up a bottle of beer.

The two ate grilled meat and drank beer like friends, chatting about some topics deep within the ruins that intrigued Jiang Hou.
