Chat group: My Fist of the North Star will never lose!

Chapter 292 The Knight Stands

In 2040, London was attacked by an alchemist's "Golden Alchemy." Millions who should have perished that day were saved by a traveling martial artist who shielded the city from the "Golden Alchemy" with his own body. The martial artist was instantly turned into gold and fell from the sky, yet remained standing still. Later, to commemorate this martial artist...

It is not a commemoration.

"Hibiki... has already been confirmed..."

The tall, strong, red-haired man patted the girl on the shoulder. Although he hesitated at first, he quickly made up his mind and clicked on the picture on the monitor.

A familiar figure appeared above.

A golden humanoid statue, standing in the posture of a knight-errant, is completely naked, with bulging muscles and short, bristly hair. Its body stands like an unshakeable mountain, and its two round golden eyes seem to be filled with anger as it stares straight ahead, as if searching for some enemy.

With its fierce brows and menacing gaze, any ordinary person who gets within 50 meters of it will feel a chill of fear, as if they are being watched by a ferocious beast.

It is clearly just a statue without any signs of life, yet it possesses a charm that no master sculptor could ever capture.

"Although I'm very reluctant to believe it, that must be it..."

Kazanari Genjuro's expression was somewhat grave. Although he knew that there were some hidden and wondrous powers in this world, he never imagined that even the man who had defeated him would fall victim to such a power in such a short time.

Undoubtedly, this was caused by heretical technology unknown to them, turning a living person into precious metal.

If this technology were to be used indiscriminately, the consequences would be unimaginable…

After much internal struggle, he finally prepared himself to tell Xiao Xiang, who was already facing numerous troubles, about this matter, since she had the right to know.

Moreover, it couldn't be hidden. On the day it happened, at least hundreds of thousands of people saw the golden humanoid figure falling from the sky. No matter how much the British government tried to suppress the news, the news had already swept the world like a storm online.

Within minutes, not only Western powers, but almost every country or organization with some strength in the world turned its attention there.

What was that huge fireball all about?

Why did he fall from the sky?

Who created this golden statue?

Could it be noise from a new variety?
These questions have tugged at everyone's heartstrings.

After that, the government sent people to try to move the statue, but it was like a sword of the hero that could never be pulled out or Thor's hammer that was firmly nailed to the ground. No matter how many large machines were deployed, they could not shake it. They even tried to move the ground under the statue together.

The chivalrous figure stands firm, unwavering...

This bizarre phenomenon has once again fueled the growing urban legends, causing quite a stir.

So far, more than ten days have passed, and the human-shaped statue still stands in the same place, completely still.

"Master..."

Xiang looked at that familiar face and murmured to himself.

Judging from her expression, she didn't seem very surprised, as if she already knew about it.

“Hibiki…” Kazanari Genjuro took a deep breath and couldn’t help but pat the girl’s head reassuringly. “Ryoko went there yesterday. Trust her, she will definitely bring your master back.”

Do you know about synchronicity? ... Heretical technology research experts from all over the world have mobilized in unison.

The target is the "Heavenly Property" in London, in the zero time zone!
All sorts of countermeasures, policies, and plans will be discussed around this strange thing.

Xiang nodded, but her mind involuntarily recalled the reminder Jagi left for her in the group chat on the day the "Golden Alchemy" incident occurred.

I leave my final words here.

[Forever Seventeen: Speaking of which, there seems to be a craze for subduing monsters lately. They're mostly just overconfident fools, yet they keep coming to their deaths every day... Ugh, what a hassle! Let Ran go and wipe them all out.]

[Snow Woman: Lately, there have been some really annoying guys around me every day, and I can't get rid of them...]

[Shana: Even demons and monsters have these kinds of troubles?]

[Ice Queen: The Empire has been defiled again... Shouldn't we all see what happens to them?]

[The one with the ability to see ghosts: No, I'm too soft-hearted to see those things.]

The group chat was lively, and Xiang would occasionally share some of her troubles, such as unintentional conflicts with friends, her admiration for the two senior colleagues in the second department, being scolded for staying up late to watch cartoons, and her worries about her mentor who was going on a long journey...

Just as she mentioned that she had been feeling uneasy lately, Jacques appeared.

……

【Great Goddess: I still have regrets in this life / I dedicate myself to the Big Dipper without feeling tired / Let's meet again in the next life】

[Yin Yang Eyes Sees: Jagi = SAN, why is he suddenly sending haiku in the communication channel?]

[Nagato Daimyojin: Afterlife? 】

[Aihara Enju: What! Is Jagi-nii-san going to die?! No way!]

[Angels After Death: Do souls come to the afterlife? (Looking forward to it)]

Shana: What exactly happened? Explain yourself! (っ`-c)

[Great Goddess: To make a long story short, I've encountered an alchemist. My body has turned to gold, and I'm stuck under the giant bronze bell of the Thames in London, unable to move and about to lose consciousness.]

[Forever Seventeen: You're really unlucky... If I were here, I could easily solve this for you with my power of realm.]

[Great Goddess: Haha, what's the use of saying these comforting words now? If I move away now, the spell that has lost its target will probably continue to fall... @Hibiki, only you can save me now, so throw a punch—]

[Great Goddess: Everyone, sayonara!]

[Sound: Ah, Master, why do I have to punch? Who am I punching, and how do I punch? I don't understand, could you explain it more clearly!]

[Sound: Master?]

[Sound: Hello?!]

From this point on, the number of active members in the group will be temporarily reduced by one.

Although everyone in the group was laughing and joking, as if his situation was common and had happened more than once, Xiang just couldn't put his mind at ease.

He's completely out of contact, so why isn't anyone worried?

"And right now, the only one who can help Master is me..."

Compared to the minor girlish anxieties she had previously experienced, a greater trouble now lay before Tachibana Hibiki, who had just become a battle maiden. She opened her hands and looked at her palms.

"But I can't understand a word about punches or anything like that!"
