I'm a magnetic field madman

"Rayfield Sword in the Stone?! How is that possible! This 'Lake Maiden's Sword' series car hasn't even been released yet!"

"This car is indeed quite nice. No wonder those good-for-nothings wouldn't give me what I wanted even after I explained it to them again and again." The giant shark grinned.

"Don't blame me for coming to collect it personally; after all, only something this 'cool' is worthy of the fashionable me."

Sheng Nan was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what the giant shark meant. He pointed at the giant shark and screamed excitedly...

"You're the cyber lunatic who caused a ruckus at the Rayfield trade fair yesterday and stole exhibits. Rayfield has put a $200,000 reward on your whereabouts. I've already called the NCPD. You'd better hand over your goods..."

"Oh, I forgot about you if you didn't say anything." The giant shark grinned, its towering three-meter frame pressing down on Sheng Nan's fragile nerves like a mountain.

"Little friend, you seem to be quite skilled in kung fu? How about we exchange some kung fu tips? I rarely exchange kung fu tips with others."

"Don't come any closer—Ada da da!!"

Seeing her opponent closing in, Sheng Nan unhesitatingly unleashed another barrage of kung fu attacks.

However, when he struck the giant shark's muscles, he felt as if he had hit steel!

"Sorry, little friend, I forgot to tell you that I had everything except my heart and head replaced yesterday."

The giant shark looked at Sheng Nan, who was writhing on the ground in pain, clutching her hand, and laughed as it tapped its own body, which had been completely replaced with electronic muscles and alloy steel plates.

"After all, this is a pretty 'cool' thing, even if it's a bit fragile... Well then, since you've shared your martial arts techniques, little one, let's see what I have to say."

The giant shark slowly raised its fist, offering a very friendly reminder...

"Remember to catch my punch, okay? Well then—"

"Tianwu Giant Shark Fist!"

With a sudden, powerful punch, David seemed to see a shark hurtling towards him through his swollen eyes...

Immediately afterwards, Sheng Nan, who had bullied him, and his henchmen were covered in blood and flesh, which were then "pasted" onto the wall.

"Ha, so 'cool' people really do 'cool' things."

The giant shark turned around, looking at the blaring crime alarms and the NCPD closing in, then suddenly grabbed David, shoved him into the car, and laughed wildly…

"Young man, you're in luck this time! Let this Heavenly King take you for a spin!"

Side Story: The Dark Knight in Night City

Cyberpunk

In this city of night, the meaning of this word is not just a complex sociological term, but also a detailed name for a certain group of people.

A group of people living in Night City who yearn for the extraordinary and break free from their constraints to fight against the NCPD (Night City Police Department) and even large corporations.

They accept any job, to kill, to commit crimes, to experience absolute freedom, to walk on the edge of danger, to dance on the thread of death... to either become a legend or to die in obscurity in a corner.

That was undoubtedly the kind of life David longed for.

Rather than spending his days in the deserted academy where he felt out of place, following his mother's wishes and waiting to become a corporate dog, he would much rather be a cyberpunk.

But today, David's wish has come true, in an incredibly abrupt way.

The piercing alarm and the incessant gunfire behind him... David, lying on the back of the driver's seat watching the long line of NCPD pursuing him, was so excited his heart was about to jump out of his throat!

Of course, what he's feeling more about right now than excitement is—

Why did you drag me into this?!

Admittedly, David hated Sheng Nan and even wanted to kill her. But thoughts and actions are two completely different things. His mother was in a bad situation, so why would he want to cause her trouble?

"Waaah!"

Watching the bullets hit the bulletproof and heat-insulating material, David let out a excited cry and shrank his head slightly. Just then, a phone call came in.

His eyes flickered slightly, and the moment the call connected, the doctor's excited voice on the other end almost deafened him.

"You bastard, where did you find this lunatic?!"

"What? Doctor, I don't know what you're talking about." David decided to play dumb.

"Don't try to fool me, you recommended that three-meter-tall madman, right?!" the doctor shouted excitedly.

"Do you know what that madman did last night?"

"It's just some prosthetic implants..." David's eyes darted around, and he said uncertainly...

"A prosthetic body? That madman dismembered himself overnight, leaving only his heart and head!!" the doctor growled.

"I never fucking imagined I could create an Adam Hammer—that madman was crazier than a dog in the wilderness! And do you know what kind of prosthetics he brought? They were all military-grade—no, all lab-grade stuff!"

"There are unfinished boards, military-grade technology boards, and Kangtao boards! All of them have serial numbers and models that have never been circulated on the market!"

"Doctor, you mean—"

David gasped, staring at the giant shark beside him who was driving with a "healthy smile," his expression instantly turning utterly horrified...

"I don't know where that madman came from, but he's already a legend... He's got the ability to leave behind a cup of wine in the 'afterlife' overnight. Kid, here's a piece of advice: stay away from that madman..."

The communication abruptly ended, but the giant shark seemed to have overheard David's call and grinned at him...

"Young man, I listened to you and spent time yesterday specifically looking for the most 'cool' prosthetic implant in the city... Even though it's as fragile as a biscuit, that's what will make my Giant Shark King even more 'cool'."

"This guy's insane!" David thought to himself. "And he was insane before the prosthetics—he's probably twice as crazy now!!"

but……

David could no longer control the excitement in his heart. The thrilling reality made his heart almost jump out of his chest. His face turned red, and he shouted out excitedly without any control.

"That's fucking so cool!"

"Hahaha, that's more like it. Cool and stylish, this is the feel of the Great Shark King." The Great Shark lit a cigar with one hand, tossed it into his mouth, and raised an eyebrow smugly...

"Kid, I've taken a liking to you! How about becoming my godson?"

Giant Shark is a free spirit who never hides his likes or dislikes.

And there is no doubt that David was a boy who was quite "to his liking".

Because he is genuine enough, and at the same time, his personality of living for the dreams of others is something that the giant shark really likes, and more importantly...

In this place that he inexplicably arrived at, what this kid is about to encounter is the kind of fun that will bring him, the King of Sharks, some relief from his troubles!

Otherwise, if things get too boring, he might find another way to have some fun.

"Stop the vehicles ahead! This is the NCPD..."

The noisy noise behind him made the giant shark frown. Without hesitation, it poked its head out and instantly opened a gap with its right hand... The newly modified projectile launching system fired several high-explosive shells in an instant.

As the police cars were blown up and people were thrown about, the noise didn't stop... because it wasn't just the NCPD that had come looking for trouble.

At the end of the road, several black "Demon Lizard" armored vehicles blocked the way, with the maglev armored vehicles of the Terrorist Mobile Squad overhead...

Meanwhile, the giant shark also felt that the chip implanted in its brain had been "hacked".

"Hey, this is pretty interesting."

The giant shark chuckled, but still did not use its magnetic field power to break through.

Because he, the King of Sharks, is pursuing the current "style," he wants to do it in a more interesting way!

His eyes gleamed slightly, instantly shocking the chip-like structures surrounding him.

The giant shark didn't actually understand programming or anything like that, but that didn't stop him from using more primitive and precise methods to "hack"...

As electromagnetic waves interfered, the members of the current Terrorist Mobile Squad collectively underwent a "system reset" amidst screams, and the massive hover armored vehicle crashed uncontrollably towards the ground.

Meanwhile, the military-tech lizard armored vehicles that were trying to surround the giant shark suddenly turned their guns on their comrades.

As for the soldiers, they were easily turned into so-called "cyber psychosis" by the giant shark, and went berserk attacking everything around them.

Not only that, but out of David's sight, the giant shark maliciously sent a funny virus to all the current employees of the abandoned board company—it's that they're now uncontrollably doing a striptease on the spot, hehehe!

Both Araizawa Saburo and Adam Hammer were completely dumbfounded at this moment...

She danced wildly and uncontrollably, like a giant bird spinning around in a bar.

Yes, the giant shark even thoughtfully prepared mandatory live streams for each of them!

Nonsense? That's right! That's just how the King of Sharks does things. I'm happy, I'm willing, I'm fucking unconventional, and that's the "style" of the King of Sharks!

In the blink of an eye, the giant shark easily resolved what David considered an unsolvable situation!

How could David not be shocked by this powerful cyberpunk!

"Are you still a hacker?!"

"Huh? Hacker, you could call me that." Giant Shark grinned.

For magnetic forces, infiltrating these electronic devices is an easy task, requiring no magnetic force at all...

The sheer power of electricity is sufficient for them to control satellite weapons in low Earth orbit.

Of course, these things are meaningless to those with strong magnetic fields; they are just toys.

"I'm tired of it."

Suddenly, the giant shark muttered something like that, its attitude suddenly changing like that of a child...

But that's just how he is; if something suddenly loses its appeal, he'll naturally discard it.

Then, amidst David's horrified gaze and screams, his entire body of prosthetics began to "fall off" naturally.

"Wow wow wow!"

The scene was extremely horrifying, with bursts of blood and gore, and the spine, nerves, bones, flesh, skin, eyeballs—basically everything that could be modified—exploded instantly... followed by the corresponding prosthetic parts falling off.

But that's not the most terrifying part. What's even more terrifying is that the detached body parts of the giant shark instantly regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, apart from the pile of high-grade military cybernetic bodies stained with blood, David might even think that what he just saw was just an illusion!

"What...what are you?!" David asked, still in shock.

"Ha, kid, you still haven't answered my question. This Heavenly King wants to adopt you as his son, what's your answer?"

The giant shark grinned.

"I...I need to ask my mom."

David scratched his head, realizing how easily he had broken free from the fear of facing the giant shark, a monster he didn't even know what it was.

"Ha, your mom? Hehehe!! You mean your mom, hahaha!!"

A mocking and amusement suddenly appeared on the shark's face. He looked into David's still innocent and clueless eyes, laughing with a hint of wicked amusement...

"Young man, I actually forgot to tell you something interesting last night... but I don't want to reveal the mystery now, because it will be even more interesting when you see it for yourself!"

"Now, let's just go!"

After saying that, Stone Sword crashed through the road and sped away. As it plummeted hundreds of meters into the air and David screamed, Giant Shark laughed maniacally and grabbed David as it jumped out of the car.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself back in Santo Domingo, back in front of the cheap hospital near his home.

With a malicious smile, the giant shark dragged David into the clinic... At that moment, the giant shark's body suddenly began to "wriggle" erratically, like a broken cassette tape.

He clicked his tongue in displeasure.

"Damn it, you brought me here out of nowhere, and now you're sending me away out of nowhere. And who the hell is your friend...?"

The guy who looked more like a butcher than a doctor seemed oblivious to the giant shark, but after seeing David, he paused for a moment before speaking…

“David Martinez? Perfect timing, you're here. I need to tell you something about your mother, Gloria Martinez. She was stable this morning, but suddenly her vital signs plummeted…”

It was still that impatient, listless voice of the doctor, like a butcher, casually pronouncing the verdict to David.

"You clearly said the surgery was a success!" After a long pause, David asked incredulously...

"After all, it's the cheapest package, and she was already very weak from overwork before she was delivered. Here is the burial plan we provided."

The doctor casually handed over the signboard, as if dying on a hospital bed... or dying on their operating table as nothing more than a meaningless lump of flesh.

David stared blankly at the notice board, at the various "packages" it listed. In an instant, he felt something being pulled away from the past—not immense sadness, but a strong sense of unreality.

He still seemed unaware of what had happened, still unable to process this absurd feeling.

In the blink of an eye, his mother, who depended on him for survival, died.

But he seemed to have no time to grieve, because in this City of Night, death seemed to be such an abrupt thing.

In the blink of an eye, nothing was left.

David stared blankly at the display board, then suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked at the giant shark, while the cyber madman looked at him with a mocking expression.
