I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 58: Departure

With his bandages and black hair soaked, Jiang Hou approached the shore, revealing the impressions of his eight-pack abs, and tossed the broken corpse onto the ground.

Immediately, strands of black demonic energy from the corpse coalesced, transforming into black patterns that imprinted onto Jiang Hou’s bandages, forming a new Hell Demon Pattern.

Instantly, Jiang Hou’s depleted demonic energy was restored by 20 points, simultaneously increasing his maximum limit by 20.

Looking at the corpse of the Witch Patterned Burly Man on the ground, Jiang Hou’s expression under the bandages remained cold.

A hidden ace, as if no one else had one.

Even though he had slain the Witch Patterned Burly Man, Jiang Hou was not in a good mood.

"Zong Zheng, contact the cleanup department and have them come over to handle the aftermath," Jiang Hou said, glancing at Li Mengwu and the half-dead driver leaning against the car.

"And also call for two ambulances."

After speaking, Jiang Hou walked to a nearby dock and sat down, gazing blankly at the silent, pitch-black river surface.

Memories before the age of seven, Jiang Hou never really wanted to recall.

Reincarnated and reborn, Jiang Hou was indeed fortunate, but rebirth was not as perfect as imagined.

He had to familiarize himself with the environment using an adult’s perspective, learn a new language, including calling a pair of ’strange’ young couples mom and dad, especially the latter being more challenging than a clueless infant.

It took nearly three years for Jiang Hou to gradually integrate into the new family, accepting the cheerful young man, the gentle woman, and the kindly elder.

But everything vanished in that car accident.

At that time, he witnessed firsthand the runaway truck crashing sideways, yelling frantically, but it was futile; the violent collision still sent the small car flying dozens of meters.

Had it not been for the woman who held him tightly, protecting him, Jiang Hou would have died in the violent crash.

That sense of powerlessness, everything being destroyed in an instant, whenever Jiang Hou recalled, he felt a mad desire to destroy everything, even the world.

This was the reason he later lost interest in everything.

He felt that whether a life was filled with riches or ordinary, once dead, it was all the same; just a handful of yellow earth.

Of course, to repay his upbringing, Jiang Hou planned to start making money after college; the confidence of two lifetimes assured him he could earn some small money (hundreds of thousands to millions), ensuring family life without worries and allowing Qin Buyi to retire early.

But unexpectedly, he suddenly became a Transcendent, and the world was rapidly changing...

"Damn!" Suddenly a cry interrupted Jiang Hou’s thoughts.

Turning his head, he saw Zong Zheng Nan Mo clutching his bleeding left shoulder, angrily looking at Jiang Chong lying on the ground.

There, Jiang Chong’s arms were shattered, chest almost diagonally sliced open, mouth torn to the ears, blood flowing, eyes wide, already dead.

Jiang Hou asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"This guy, even in death, wanted to shoot a bone spike at me," Zong Zheng Nan Mo said helplessly, revealing a blood hole running through his shoulder.

Fortunately, the wound only passed beneath the skin, affecting some tissue.

Earlier, while Jiang Hou was in a daze, Zong Zheng Nan Mo approached to check Jiang Chong’s situation.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Jiang Chong’s mouth suddenly tore open, spraying a bone spike mixed with blood; had Zong Zheng Nan Mo not reacted quickly, the blood hole would’ve been on his forehead.

And Jiang Chong, having exhausted his last strength, died peacefully.

He preserved his dignity, preventing Zong Zheng Nan Mo, who once looked down on him for interacting with other schoolgirls, from mocking him.

Jiang Chong’s death also made Li Mengwu’s gaze complicated.

She realized that awakening extraordinary powers was not always beneficial; without awakening, the sunshine-like Jiang Chong wouldn’t have been influenced by power, ultimately leading to murder, escape, and death at this desolate dock.

Soon, cleanup departments and ambulances arrived; because Zong Zheng Nan Mo was also slightly injured, he left with the ambulance for bandaging.

The guy was indeed good with predictions; if he said there would be bloodshed, there really was.

Jiang Hou shook his head, disappearing into the night.

Task accomplished, next was to await Jiang Ruochan’s promised reward.

This president had been doing unknown things lately; she didn’t respond on the phone, her profile was always gray, and Jiang Hou still didn’t know if the fragment was the Yama Prison Demon Blade.

When Jiang Hou climbed back home through the window, it was just past 1 AM.

However, today Jiang Hou didn’t go to the ruins; having completed the busy task over several days, he intended to relax and sleep.

......

The next morning, after washing up, Jiang Hou arrived in the living room, finding the white kitty lazily sprawled on the couch, calling affectionately as he approached.

At the dining table, Qin Siyu, holding a small piece of bread, was surprised: "Jiang Hou, you’ve been getting up so early these past two days."

"It’s probably because I’ve been sleeping better," Jiang Hou casually replied.

After breakfast, upon arriving at school, he saw that Zong Zheng Nan Mo, who was injured last night, had already arrived.

"You didn’t take the day off?" Jiang Hou asked curiously.

Zong Zheng Nan Mo was nonchalant: "Why take a day off for a minor injury? Some medicine and a night’s rest, and I was almost recovered."

After breaking through to Tier Two, Zong Zheng Nan Mo’s physique had been enhanced by energy refinement, though not as physically robust as Jiang Hou, it was four times stronger than a regular person.

A stronger physique indicated better recovery ability.

"Oh, by the way, Jiang Hou, Li Mengwu left."

"Left? What do you mean?" Jiang Hou was a bit perplexed.

Zong Zheng Nan Mo explained: "Yesterday, as we arrived at the hospital, while the nurse was cleaning and bandaging my wound, I saw a group of people arrive."

"Among them was our city council chairman."

"Later, as I left, I heard the hospital staff say Li Mengwu had been transferred to Demon Sea City with her heavily injured bodyguard due to severe injuries."

Li Mengwu’s departure didn’t affect Jiang Hou much, though it involved a death and extraordinary incident, she left Yidu quite effortlessly, indicating her ’influential’ mother’s power.

They were merely classmates for two years, having spoken just days ago.

With the second period just ended, Jiang Ruochan, whose profile had been gray for days, came online and messaged the two.

"I’ve reviewed last night’s cleanup department task report; you two did great at finding and dealing with the Mutant swiftly."

Zong Zheng Nan Mo was a bit excited, quickly typing: "President, you’ve finally come alive."

Jiang Ruochan paused: "...Don’t want your Heritage Crystal?"

"Haha... President, don’t mind me, I’m just excited after not seeing you for days and misspoke. I meant to say you’re finally online."

Zong Zheng Nan Mo quickly attempted to amend his words.

"Alright, back to business; once the Wind Heritage Crystal arrives, I’ll notify you. As for Jiang Hou’s Divine Weapon Fragment."

"Unfortunately, after identification, it’s confirmed not to be the Yama Prison Demon Blade but another fragment named Heaven-Breaking Godslaying Blade."

Jiang Hou’s profile flashed: "No problem; as long as it can merge with Divine Weapon Origin power, not getting stuck at Tier Three Peak is fine." With that, Jiang Hou changed the subject.

"By the way, President, what have you been up to these days?"

Jiang Ruochan gave Jiang Hou a mysterious feeling; she enabled them to join Heaven Punishment without approval, could supply Divine Weapon Fragments anytime, even transferring them from other provinces.

"Healing."
