Extraordinary awakening, I can transform into a world-destroying monster

Chapter 254 Southwest Garrison Commander

Late night
As the plane roared past the sea of ​​clouds, the smartwatch on Jiang Hou's wrist vibrated slightly, receiving an internal message from Tianfa.

Jiang Hou, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened them, clicked on the message, and saw a line of text appear.

This is a new appointment.

"Jiang Hou, the Demon Suppression General, is hereby appointed as the Southwest Garrison Commander, with the rank of Lieutenant General, to control all forces of the Heavenly Punishment Branch in the six southwestern provinces and resist any possible invasion of monsters from the ruins."

"what's the situation?"

The sudden promotion did not bring Jiang Hou any joy; instead, it made him frown.

Before he could ask anything, his phone rang, and the caller ID showed Jiang Ruochan.

As soon as Jiang Hou answered the call, Jiang Ruochan on the other end asked directly, "Jiang Hou, did you receive the appointment document issued by headquarters?"

"I've already seen the president."

Jiang Hou nodded, then asked, "President, has something happened?"

"Something really happened, and it's very serious."

Jiang Ruochan said solemnly, "A ninth-tier supreme expert from the Heavenly Punishment discovered traces of the Great Cataclysm of the Epoch on a floating continent deep within the Abyss of the Realm."

"It is said that the continent is larger than imagined, and it is covered with powerful and even terrifying forbidden creatures, including a colossal beast that mutated after its fall."

"The three transcendent powers have issued a summons for the human race. This is an agreement signed by three true gods more than twenty years ago."

"When a threat to the survival of humanity arises, all supernatural forces, from demigods to fourth-tier official members, must provide unconditional support."

"This recruitment is open to all those at or above the sixth rank. Those on the list of extraordinary individuals will proceed to the nearest assembly point as soon as they receive the information."

...The great calamity of the era, the mutated corpse of the colossal beast of heaven and earth. Jiang Hou's expression hardened, and at the same time he realized why he felt that the colossal beast of heaven and earth was dangerous.

The forbidden creatures that rise from the dead harbor the deepest hatred for their own kind.

"President, if the gathering is for all experts above the sixth rank, then why is this my appointment?" Jiang Hou asked, somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Ruochan said calmly, "You were originally on the recruitment list, but I crossed you off. You are not suitable to participate in this expedition."

"Although your current maximum combat power has reached the eighth rank and looks very strong, you are still essentially a seventh-rank superhuman."

"This expedition involves a cataclysmic event, and the danger is beyond imagination. Even I am not confident that I can return unscathed, let alone you."

"Your potential has been greatly explored, and you are still in a period of rapid improvement in your abilities."

"So I asked the old man to change your status to a garrison commander, to buy you some time, until you break through to the eighth rank before joining the expedition."

"With the eighth-order realm and the skills of a true god, even if I encounter a forbidden creature at the demigod level, I will have a chance to escape."

“…Thank you very much, President Jiang.” Jiang Hou said slowly.

He really can't go this time, otherwise once he transforms and unleashes the aura of the 'Heaven and Earth Giant Beast', he's very likely to be targeted by that forbidden giant beast.

Adult giant beasts of the heavens and earth are terrifying beings that feed on gods. Even if only their corpses remain, these creatures are still extremely powerful.

"You're welcome. Since I'm your and Zong Zheng Nanmo's guide, I will naturally fulfill my responsibilities."

Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nan Mo were discovered and brought into the Heavenly Punishment by Jiang Ruochan, so within the Heavenly Punishment, they belong to Jiang Ruochan's "affiliation".

"And don't think this task is easy."

"Although this time it is to summon all superhumans above the sixth rank, the real world also needs strong people to guard it, especially those large passages."

"Most of the time, these guarding missions are uneventful, but when something does happen, it's usually an invasion by demons or evil gods of the seventh rank or higher."

“If we encounter an enemy of the eighth rank or higher…” Jiang Ruochan paused here, “then you guardians will have to fight with your lives on the line.” Hearing this, Jiang Hou nodded slightly.

At this moment, Jiang Ruochan habitually changed the subject: "Of course, these are the worst possibilities. Maybe this expedition isn't so dangerous, and the Great Cataclysm of the Epoch is just a misunderstanding."

Would a supreme expert who has condensed the four Heavenly Daos and reached the limit of demigod make a mistake?
"By the way, as the garrison commander, your loan authority has been greatly increased, with a maximum of two million. Think carefully about what you need later."

"This opportunity to use resources in advance is rare, don't waste it." After saying this, Jiang Ruochan, who was a little busy, hung up the phone.

"Two million." Jiang Hou's eyes lit up slightly.

Loans, especially interest-free loans, are indeed a good thing, but he hasn't paid off the previous million yet, so he can only borrow one million this time.

Furthermore, according to the 'loan rules,' 500,000 will be used to upgrade resources, and 500,000 will be used to purchase other extraordinary items.

"This definitely needs some thought," Jiang Hou said, stroking his chin.

…………

Due to the time difference, Jiang Hou's plane landed at Nanshan International Airport at 7:00 AM.

"Uncle and the others should be up by now." Jiang Hou glanced at the dawning sky, took out his phone, and called Qin Buyi.

The phone rang twice before being answered.

"Uncle, when are you planning to go back?" Jiang Hou asked.

Qin Buyi, sitting opposite him, thought for a moment and said, "Siyu still has four days of leave. As for me... cough, I won't go back with you for now. Your aunt will need another two months to complete the handover."

“I understand.” Jiang Hou smiled.

"Uncle, the war here in Abudan is almost over. I've been transferred back to take charge of the Heavenly Punishment affairs in the southwest, including Yidu."

"I'll be going back around today. I'll ask Siyu if she wants to come with me."

"The war is over." Qin Buyi was stunned, a little slow to react, after all, the war on Abudan's side had reached the border of Nanshan Kingdom a few days ago.

There are also mutated monsters that have spread across half of Abudan, carrying a mutated virus that causes mutations upon contact.

At this moment, Jiang Hou suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "By the way, Uncle, my military rank has been promoted again. I am now a Demon Suppression Lieutenant General."

"what!"

Cough cough cough! A loud coughing sound came from the other end of the line, and Qin Buyi was choked by the news.

"Buyi, what's wrong?" Natalie, who was rinsing her mouth in the bathroom, poked her head out and looked at Qin Buyi, who was coughing incessantly in the second-floor corridor, with a puzzled expression.

Qin Buyi, his face flushed, waved his hand and said, "No, it's nothing. I'm just a little surprised that Xiao Hou's rank has been promoted again."

"Okay, okay."

"I understand, you can ask Xiaoyu." After saying that, Qin Buyi hung up the phone, unable to contain his excitement any longer, and burst into laughter.

"Lieutenant General, an eighteen-year-old lieutenant general, awesome, hahaha."

"What's wrong with you? What lieutenant general?" Natalie was a little confused.

Qin Buyi said excitedly, "Young Hou, his rank has been promoted to lieutenant general. He must have made great contributions in the Battle of Abudan."

For ordinary people like Qin Buyi, the concept of a Saint-level expert was not very meaningful, but the titles of General and Lieutenant General were a great shock.

Even though I was already shocked when I learned of Major General Jiang's identity at the banquet more than a week ago.
