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

Chapter 488 Tears streamed down my face several times, reality proved me right several times.

The Phonic-Gain gathered by the Eternal Spear was like a river bursting its banks, unleashing a torrent of violent power in an instant. The shockwave, shaking the atmosphere, pressed down heavily like the sky collapsing.

Resentment, emptiness, fear, pain, hostility...

Symphogear possesses the power to control the wearer's inner emotions, including curses and negative feelings.

The flames from the thrusters erupted violently and fiercely, as if trying to burn away all these emotions, suddenly crossing the distance between the two and forming a twisted fire dragon behind Buluo Xiang.

boom!
At the last moment, Hibiki Tachibana raised her palm to block, and the two surging, immense, and unbelievable forces collided.

A sound like everything shattering rang out, and in an instant, a storm spread between the two of them!
The earth trembled uneasily, and a moment later, in the first clash between the two, the ground beneath their feet, tens of meters in diameter, suddenly sank, forming a huge hemispherical crater. Hard bricks and stones were torn apart by the aftershocks, and dust was blown away by the soaring air currents.

Hibiki Tachibana, whose short, flaxen hair was tied up with a hairpin, let it fall loose under the impact. She passively accepted the opponent's anger, gently pulled her metal combat boots out of the deep ground, and blocked all of Hibiki's full-force attacks without retreating a single step.

Then, he lowered his body, aligning his waist and stance, and stood still once more.

It was as if the person was completely nailed to the ground, unmoving and unshakable.

The expression on the rustling sound became even more ferocious. She gritted her teeth and let out a low growl. Her body tensed up, squeezing out every bit of potential from her body. The Eternal Spear Gungnir brought violent power that gathered in every inch of her flesh and every muscle. With an almost extravagant and frenzied manner, she raised her fist and smashed it down again.

Slam down! Boom down! A self-sacrificing impact!

Beneath Tachibana Hibiki's fair skin, an unimaginable and immense power suddenly surged forth, unleashing terrifying destructive force in an extremely short interval. All the strength in her body was fused into one, like a resilient iron spear, thrusting out accurately without wasting any force.

Like a thunderous roar, a series of deafening explosions surged forth in an instant, shattering the surrounding streetscape and shop windows. The destructive collision swept through everything, and the sounds of breaking air and colliding steel created a torrent capable of rupturing the eardrums of any living being.

Fist against fist!
Gungnir vs. Gungnir!
Sparks flew and the clang of metal clashed in a continuous chorus as the figures of the two girls flickered amidst a dense barrage of punches.

The battle between the two did not stop, but instead became even more frenzied. One side was scorching and violent, while the other was reserved and focused. Although they only collided for a moment that was difficult to see with the naked eye, the area of ​​destruction they caused increased again and again, gradually expanding to destroy an entire block under the aftershocks.

The impact cracked the ground, and several blocks trembled as if struck by an earthquake.

The clash of fists and feet was more terrifying than missiles; even Symphogear's armor developed cracks of varying sizes and was on the verge of breaking apart.

This scene was even intentionally controlled by Tachibana Hibiki, who directed the power of the bad Hibiki and her venting anger onto herself, like a reef bearing the brunt of the waves, taking on all the attacks.

Although both are Gungnir fusion users and are both in the humanoid artifact stage, the Phonic-Gain they can use completely overwhelms ordinary Symphogear users, with output reaching several times, or even dozens of times, that of others. They can even defeat the black noise monster with damage that surpasses its regeneration speed...

Even if their strength could increase explosively, in terms of combat experience, skill level, depth of accumulation, and training, Tachibana Hibiki far surpasses Delinquent Hibiki.

Having always been alone, she had never properly learned how to unleash her full power, resulting in a pitifully low level of skill.

Hibiki Tachibana only needs to make a simple, direct, and extremely fast move to catch and block her all-out punch, without even disrupting her breathing, like a roly-poly toy that can't be knocked down no matter how hard you hit it.

She could never defeat "herself".

She is no match for the other "self".

This fact needs no further explanation; it was clearly and unmistakably imprinted on Bu Liangxiang's mind the moment they first clashed.

"Huff...drink..."

It hurts so much, I'm so tired, I can't even lift my arms... My lungs feel like they're going to explode... It's so painful... I knew it would be like this...

Before the sweat could even drip down, it evaporated. Panting heavily, Bu Liangxiang looked at the "self" in front of her, her vision blurred. It was as if a towering, unshakeable mountain stood before her, an impenetrable fortress, preventing her from even taking a single step back.

"I can't hear the singing..."

Hibiki Tachibana's eyes were even more sorrowful, not only because of her singing in a physical sense, but also because the voice in her heart had been rejected and shut off by "herself".

She was a battle maiden who brought smiles to everyone's faces with her singing, but now...

"I! Said!"

Upon sensing that gaze, Bu Liangxiang's breath caught in his throat, his body stiffened, and then his blood suddenly boiled, countless rages bursting forth in an instant, like a wild beast about to erupt in fury, his eyes already bloodshot.

Don't look at me like that!!!

In an instant, terrifying high temperatures erupted, mixed with golden flames, like a giant column of molten lava erupting from a volcano, shooting straight into the sky.

A cross-shaped wound suddenly melted into the chest covered by the orange combat suit. Condensed and twisted golden energy surged from the cross. A fallen leaf that was blown by the wind caught fire within milliseconds of being within a few meters of the bad sound, turning into ashes in an instant.

The ignition point of a leaf is 200℃, yet it spontaneously combusted without even touching the skin of someone who doesn't know what to do. Even from a great distance, you can feel the intense heat emanating from it.

She understood what Tachibana Hibiki meant, which was why she was even angrier, and...

--envy.

I'm so jealous! So jealous! So jealous! So jealous! So jealous! So jealous! So jealous...!

If she had never known that kind of world, she could still have continued alone, battling the noise, or quietly dying one day.

Why did this guy have to show up?!

why,
Is this guy going to show her those beautiful things?
why,
Why put on this act of feigning innocence, sympathy, and pity?
In that case, in that case...

"Disappear!"

With a fierce roar, it transformed into a golden meteor and crashed forth! This punch seemed to ignite the sky, turning everything above and below a golden-red hue.

"I won't disappear, and I won't leave you alone again..."

As if making a vow, Hibiki Tachibana took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, her gaze hardening like metal.

"I will save you, I promise."

Even from afar, Chris seemed to hear deep breathing, and the earth seemed to undulate with each breath. The sky rumbled, and the breath, the pulse, the melody, and the strings were in harmony with heaven and earth.

Then, a cross-shaped wound appeared on her chest, a scar inflicted by Gungnir, who had nearly killed her, bursting forth with dazzling golden light.

Now, the completely healed scar burst open again, and a stream of golden light flowed out from it. The immense energy it contained erupted the moment it left the body, distorting even the surrounding void. Boom!
Hibiki Tachibana's figure also shot forward.

In the shadows, the two figures collided and separated instantly; that collision, lasting less than a tenth of a second, was like the roar of a meteorite hitting the earth.

But it wasn't a single sound; it was the booming sound of hundreds of fists colliding, amplified and focused.

The two shadows moved faster and faster, their bodies seemingly turning into a rain of light, becoming even faster and more fierce, like two Tyrannosaurus Rex colliding. Each impact was like two stars colliding, cracking the armor of the two figures and scattering large patches of golden light on the ground, corroding and emitting hissing white smoke.

Fist to fist, elbow to elbow...

Abandoning all pretense of technique and skill, they simply clashed with the hardest parts of their bodies! The invisible force crashed down on each other like tangible mountains, causing them to stomp on the ground and walls, creating the illusion that the world itself was being shaken.

The sky and the earth were engulfed by the afterimages of the two moving at incredible speed. A terrifying and unknown change occurred to them. Their astonishing Phonic Gain surpassed the ultimate song that Amane Kanade had used that day, and it continued to rise as if there was no end in sight.

Large chunks of flesh were torn from his shoulders, his ribs were shattered, his arms were cracked with countless fissures, and his nostrils were filled with the stench of blood…

hum!
A loud, forceful punch landed on Tachibana Hibiki's lower abdomen, causing her to sway.

boom!
At the same time, Tachibana Hibiki's fist slammed into the chest of the rogue Hibiki, the monstrous force shattering her internal organs.

Both men started coughing up blood at the same time, and the Symphogear armor couldn't even provide any protection in such a fierce battle.

But their hearts beat stronger than war drums, their breaths more fierce than horns, and the power they contained was inexhaustible, like a nuclear reactor, propelling their broken bodies to rebuild and become harder, harder, harder, and more indestructible. Their bodies were like weapons.

As the bones, flesh, and skin regenerated and reorganized, crystalline black-gold stones began to grow from the cross-shaped wound on the chest.

“Why! Why?!”

Blood and tears flowed from the girl's eyes, but were instantly evaporated by the high temperature. Her eyes seemed about to burst, and finally, flames began to burn in the void.

Cracks were spreading across her fist; the immense force had exceeded her limits, yet she showed no sign of stopping.

Once started, it cannot be stopped.

The intense light from the sky shone like two dazzling suns, radiating terrifying heat waves and tsunami-like power, one wave higher than the next. The Gungnir fragments, tightly bound to their bodies, seemed to respond to their will, bursting forth with an endless stream of power.

Hibiki clenched her fists even tighter; her determination and anger to bring down another "Tachibana Hibiki" remained unchanged.

but…

but,

Why does the pain I feel when I punch you feel like it's hitting my own body?

Why is "I" not "you"?

Why is that...?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Sensing the chilling aura emanating from them, Chris retreated with Windwing from the very beginning, eventually retreating hundreds of meters away.

If it weren't for the appearance of the Noises, which sounded the alarm and evacuated the public, this would have caused an unbearable panic.

I thought that all I needed to do was communicate and I could reconcile with the strange-looking Hibiki Tachibana, and even ask for her help—after all, Hibiki is Hibiki, and even if she's from a parallel world, she's definitely a helpful person.

But as things escalated, Chris realized that her thinking was completely wrong, yet she couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.

Chris, who had retreated thousands of meters away, felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly. She didn't get to witness the excitement of the fierce battle; all she could see was deep worry.

Despite being a Symphogear, all she could hear were mournful howls and howling winds, but no soothing songs.

"Something's wrong!"

"Neither of them is behaving properly!"

Such a rate of increase is highly unusual.

Even the first case of relic fusion couldn't possibly unleash such terrifying power so suddenly. And this isn't the power of a final masterpiece. There's only one possibility left—

The fragments of the Eternal Spear piercing their chests are coming alive, releasing their power, and... transforming them into humanoid Gungnirs! Assimilating them!

That terrifyingly high temperature, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, was not the cry of a soul, but rather the heat emitted by the sacred relic during its transformation!

"Um...um..."

The unconscious Fang Ren slowly regained consciousness due to Chris's violent movements, and her vision was now filled with things that hadn't been there before she fell unconscious—

"Those are... Tachibana Hibiki and the others?"

Feng Mingyi stared blankly at the two figures that seemed to be wreaking havoc on the world like humanoid natural disasters. The ground beneath her feet trembled uneasily, forcing her to stand still with her sword. In her ears, the roar of disaster echoed between heaven and earth.

Chris nodded, drenched in sweat, as if she were in a scorching hell.

Although she was anxious and wanted to stop it, she and the others alone had no way to stop the fight, nor were they qualified to intervene.

The only person who can decide when to end the fight is the person involved, until one side's will to fight is completely extinguished!

Their voices echoed through the sky once more.

Bad Sound: "I'm going to use these hands to...destroy everything!"

Hibiki Tachibana: "No, your hands, mine, our hands, they're clearly—"

"Yes, just like this—!"

His fist, crackling with fury, radiated heat enough to boil an entire river, fueling his life force. He roared, "To crush everything in my way—!"
