Chapter 76 - Star: We Combine!

"The dead Stellaron Hunter, are you going to hand it over or not?"

Yanqing looked on with a complicated expression: "Although I don't quite understand how General Jing Yuan will decide, it's always better to hand over a live Stellaron Hunter than a dead one."

"That's a bit troublesome then..."

This time, even Fu Zhu felt it was tricky. After all, the Iron Golem was originally quite difficult to control. What's more, the Iron Golem's original version couldn't follow the creator's instructions. Even now, atop the Path of [Erudition], Fu Zhu couldn't guarantee this. For now, he could only try to communicate with it and see if he could make the Iron Golem stop.

"Iron Golem, stop!"

The Iron Golem, which was originally poised to deliver a punch, upon hearing Fu Zhu's voice, immediately stopped its action, standing rigidly in place, motionless.

Fu Zhu looked at the obedient Iron Golem and couldn't help but exclaim.

It actually listened! Herta is truly amazing! I wonder if I can make more of these obedient Iron Golems and send them to Herta's place.

An obedient Iron Golem is much more useful than a disobedient one! After all, if he could create a batch of Iron Golems, as long as there weren't too many enemies, they could probably handle it!

Just as Fu Zhu was feeling exultant, he saw Blade, who had been punched silly by the Iron Golem, suddenly laugh.

"You actually obeyed that man's orders!"

Some cracks appeared on the Iron Golem's body, but not many.

Was this the pitiful appearance of an undying creature after being beaten up by his creation?! Continue fighting! Don't stop!

"Go!"

The commanded Iron Golem once again threw a punch. The two figures began to fight again, back and forth, neither giving an inch.

Fu Zhu naturally wouldn't watch his Iron Golem eat dirt. He quickly ran to the Iron Golem's side, narrowly dodging a sweeping attack from Blade. He touched the Iron Golem's back, and the few cracks instantly disappeared.

Fu Zhu was overjoyed: his "Mending" enchantment was actually effective on the Iron Golem! He was still worried that this Iron Golem was made of iron blocks. What if "Mending" wasn't effective? It turned out that his worries were unfounded. "Mending" was indeed effective!

Blade noticed this and couldn't help cursing inwardly. He hadn't expected Fu Zhu to actually heal this Iron Golem. And the healing speed was even faster than his own undying regeneration!

Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, dozens of Cloud Knights, alerted by the commotion, arrived at the scene. March 7th and the others also hurried over. The general leading the Cloud Knights raised his weapon and shouted for the two to stop.

The general and his men surrounded them, but they didn't make any rash moves. They saw that their general was also present, but he hadn't intervened.

This also meant that the situation on site was somewhat complicated. In the absence of orders from their superiors, it was best for them not to act rashly.

Fortunately, Blade's fighting style was all about trading blows. Although he was still injured, his stamina was gradually failing. In the end, due to excessive blood loss, his movements became sluggish. Finally, the long sword in his hand could no longer withstand the Iron Golem's continuous heavy blows. With a "clang," it broke, and he directly fainted, his head lolling to one side.

Fu Zhu was stunned. He immediately had the Iron Golem stop. This was the first time he had seen an Iron Golem knock someone unconscious with a punch, leaving the entire scene in utter chaos.

[Achievement Unlocked: Acquainted with Blade]

[Acquired Achievement Points: 5]

Not bad, to actually become acquainted in this way.

Fu Zhu mentally "accepted" the 5 achievement points from the system reward, then said to the Cloud Knights beside him, "Tie this kid up. The Cloud Knights must be looking for him already, right?"

Yanqing nodded, then signaled for the Cloud Knights to come forward.

"Take this person away. Remember to guard him strictly. After this is over, I will report to the General."

"Yes."

Several Cloud Knights immediately stepped forward. The accompanying bailiff looked at Blade, whose body was completely intact despite being beaten, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "Indeed, as the Great Diviner divined, this man cannot be killed."

It was rumored that this person from the Divination Commission, even if cut into pieces, would only resurrect. He hadn't expected him to be so powerful. Fortunately, his own talent was divination. Although his combat strength was far inferior to Yanqing's, he was at least not as difficult to deal with as Teacher Fu Zhu, who had taken in a military advisor.

Just as Yanqing was giving instructions, Welt Yang approached Fu Zhu from a distance.

"Little friend Fu Zhu, what's going on? What happened next? We haven't received any news yet? Don't tell me you guys actually handed over the Stellaron Hunter?!"

Yanqing came back to his senses, looking at Fu Zhu, his previous arrogance gone in an instant.

He took out his phone, glanced at the message from Welt, his expression unchanged. He gestured for Fu Zhu to come over, then nodded to Welt.

"Can, but I need to call another companion over."

"Of course, Mr. Fu Zhu only needs to ask another Nameless to go directly to the Seat of Divine Foresight to wait."

"Alright."

Fu Zhu took out his phone and sent a message to Welt. After sending the message, he then thought about what to do with the Iron Golem that was taller than two people standing with both feet on the ground, without giving away its secret.

"Great Diviner, what are you doing?!"

Fu Zhu was startled. He wanted to say that the Iron Golem was very "sensitive," but he couldn't let Xing and March 7th know. Fu Zhu was genuinely worried about triggering the Iron Golem's attack. He accidentally touched the Iron Golem's reaction mechanism.

He knew that the current Iron Golem was much stronger than the original. Not to mention that even the original was notorious for its temper. If he were to land a punch, it wouldn't just be a simple bruise. It would be a direct hit that could break bones and tendons. Fortunately, Xing's touch on the Iron Golem was relatively light, but the Iron Golem still quietly offered her a poppy as a stepping stone.

With the Iron Golem's help, Xing finally managed to climb onto its shoulder. With a "heave-ho," she sat down. She looked at March 7th, who was about to show off, and when the Iron Golem raised its hand, a poppy flower was presented to March 7th.

"Thank you!" Xing received the poppy flower with a face full of adoration.

Then she handed the flower to March 7th.

"Me too?"

March 7th was a little surprised, but she still happily accepted it: "Thank you, Iron Golem!"

Xing, sitting on the Iron Golem's shoulder, patted its head. Facing the empty space below, she shouted, "Little March, you come up too! The Iron Golem still has another shoulder!"

"Can I too?"

The Iron Golem actively bent down, extended its hand to serve as a footstool for March 7th. March 7th also nimbly climbed up and sat on the other shoulder of the Iron Golem.

Yanqing and Qingque stood to one side, watching this harmonious scene with 'sourpuss' expressions. They could only watch the Iron Golem.

Fu Zhu saw this loving scene and couldn't help but relax. From the looks of it, the Iron Golem was quite friendly to his companions.

This also made Fu Zhu less worried. He didn't want them to be attacked by the Iron Golem later.

It was just that Fu Zhu was a little puzzled.

The Iron Golem's two rather high shoulders were occupied by them. Where was he supposed to sit?

He didn't want to walk either!

Thus, Fu Zhu directly issued an order to the Iron Golem: "Iron Golem, carry me on your back."

Originally, Xing, who was sitting on the Iron Golem's shoulder playing with the poppy March 7th had photographed, suddenly heard this and was almost thrown to the ground by a single hand.

"Ouch! Old Bro, what are you doing!"

Xing rubbed her butt on the ground, looking at Fu Zhu with teary eyes.

Fu Zhu just chuckled. Sure enough, his command had the highest priority!

Then, he helped the Iron Golem take back its original position.

Xing immediately stood up from the ground, unconvinced, and retorted: "Old Bro, you're bullying me! And you're a man, making me sit on top of you! You're going too far!"

Fu Zhu raised his chin proudly, saying, "The Golem I created, I get to enjoy it however I want! Besides, compared to a star, your weight is negligible. I'm enjoying it, not you! If I sit on your shoulder, then I'll be the one enjoying it!"

"I don't care, I want to sit too!"

Finally, Fu Zhu sat on the Iron Golem's shoulder, Xing sat on Fu Zhu's shoulder, and March 7th sat on the Iron Golem's other shoulder, looking a bit like a little pitiful creature.

Yanqing, standing on the ground, couldn't help but raise his head to look at the three of them, his mouth twitching. He really couldn't keep a straight face.

"Then... Mr. Fu Zhu, shall we head out?"

Fu Zhu and Xing nodded in unison, saying, "Let's go!"

Yanqing couldn't hold back his laughter. Leading the way in front, the Iron Golem followed closely behind.

A group of people walked towards the Seat of Divine Foresight in such a bizarre posture, attracting countless gazes along the way. But apart from March 7th, whose face was slightly flushed, Fu Zhu and his sister were quite enjoying it.

Qingque, who was filming nearby, couldn't help but sigh.

"They say city folks know how to have fun, but I feel like you guys are even better at it than them..."

...

Outside the Seat of Divine Foresight.

Welt had put down his phone after receiving the message Fu Zhu sent him at the entrance of the Seat of Divine Foresight.

What he hadn't expected was that he was still thinking about how to properly discuss the handling of the Stellaron Hunter with the Luofu, when this matter that made Welt's face twitch arrived. However, it also made him look at the three of them with a sense of relief.

Just as Welt was about to speak, when he got a good look at the three of them, especially Fu Zhu who was riding on top of a little girl, he couldn't help but be taken aback. He looked at the three of them in a very strange posture.

Welt sized up Fu Zhu and the others for a moment, then asked with genuine admiration, "Little friend Fu Zhu, may I ask what this is?"

Although Welt had seen many intelligent lifeforms, he couldn't be sure if the white giant in front of him was a robot or something else.

Fu Zhu even jumped down from the Iron Golem's shoulder, smiling as he introduced it to Welt.

"Uncle Yang, this is a golem I created on Jarilo-VI, the Iron Golem. At that time, I just finished making it, and then Herta and Nous took it away. After a period of observation, they returned it to me."

"So that's how it is."

The Iron Golem also stepped forward and offered a poppy to Welt.

Welt was slightly surprised, but he still accepted it. He looked at Fu Zhu again, and Fu Zhu further explained the Iron Golem's actions.

"This is it expressing friendliness towards you, Uncle Yang. The Iron Golem, because of Nous's blessing, is considered your protector."

After listening to Fu Zhu's explanation, Welt then extended his hand. The Iron Golem placed the poppy in his hand, and Welt's gaze softened even more.

"Everyone, let's go in? The General is waiting."

Yanqing waited for a while before urging.

Only then did everyone enter the Seat of Divine Foresight. However, Welt still lagged a few steps behind, whispering to Fu Zhu.

"Fu Zhu, can you make other kinds of robots?"
