I'm a magnetic field madman

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill all those who violate his principles!

Slaughter all those who oppress the people! Leave no one alive, young or old. Since this society has degenerated to such a state, let me carve out a future!

I have no dreams, but I will protect the dreams of those who deserve them.

"Mom, this will be the last time I go against your wishes."

The jet-black Yafei armor mimicked a helmet on his head that resembled a bat or a demon from hell, and the surging power flowed through Yafei's prosthetic body into his brain.

The remaining flesh reveals not a weak humanity, but a "divinity" that transcends everything, even this vile city!

Only by placing oneself in a sublime position can one justly judge all that is ugly!

He will punish this city; he will cleanse the sins of this night with pain and bloodshed.

Fight extremes with extremes, fight cruelty with cruelty.

His voice became incredibly deep, and he spoke to the City of Night as if making a vow…

"I am Vengeance"

"I am the night"

“I am…”

With his enormous bat wings spread, the Lord of Night soared through the city at night.

Like a sharp thorn piercing the night, it cleanses and slays all the darkness in this filthy and bustling city.

Prologue: Hiruko Eiji and Ayame

I never assume the worst about humans, because humans are something that can easily push the boundaries of our understanding.

Ugliness, greed, and of course, even more terrifying is stupidity. Some things that may not be so bad, driven by stupidity, will always commit unimaginable evils.

Hiruko Kagetane harbored such thoughts about this world that had become utterly corrupt.

This world may have long been rotten, but what made it rotten to the end was not those terrible Gastrea, but humanity itself.

Humans are filthy and foolish, they are ignorant and foolish, they drive those who protect them to the brink of despair, they fear those who are capable, and then they reject and fear them!

Such people should be cleansed!!

"Huh...huh..."

In the ruins of the outskirts of Tokyo 36, Hiruko Kagetane hid himself in an abandoned house, his deep purple magician's suit torn to shreds.

He struggled to breathe, trying to heal his injured body and recover his depleted strength with slow, labored breathing.

"What on earth happened? That monster..."

Hiruko Kagetane murmured, for he had encountered something beyond his imagination, a Gastrea that should never have appeared in the outer zone.

Twenty years ago, he possessed extraordinary physical strength and regenerative abilities...

When Gastrea, with its extremely terrifying infectious capabilities, appeared and nearly destroyed the entire human civilization.

Humans then discovered chromium, a special metallic substance specifically designed to combat gastrulation.

They can inhibit the gastrulation ability of gastrulators...

It can even generate a special magnetic field that kills some low-level Gastrea... And now, this area of ​​Tokyo is a human settlement protected by a huge birch metal monolith.

Therefore, according to common sense, Gastrea should not be found in the Tokyo area.

Even in the outer area where the effects of the megaliths are extremely poor, this is still the case, and even if they were artificially placed or created, they shouldn't be such terrifying Gastrea.

However, today, Hiruko Kagetane encountered a Gastrea that defies common sense.

It not only moved freely in the area near the megalith, but also displayed a terrifying destructive power that Gastrea did not possess.

However, in terms of size alone, it is the lowest level, Stage One.

Hiruko Kagetane couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from knowing clearly that his life was very likely to end here...

The panting gradually subsided as Hiruko Kagetane forcibly suppressed his noisy breathing.

He activated the internal iron machine, adjusting the sounds of his heartbeat and blood flow to a minimum.

He heard a sound, the sound of a monster approaching, an incredibly terrible sound.

He gripped two modified Beretta M93Rs tightly in his hands, his face beneath the smiling mask already covered in sweat.

However, even in this extremely tense state, Hiruko Kagetane couldn't help but let his mind wander.

In fact, if such a special gastrulation organism really did appear, it might not be a bad thing.

Because he didn't come to Tokyo to do good deeds in the first place.

This city, and those humans—despicable, foolish, and incompetent humans—may be destroyed by these monsters…

Destroying themselves at the hands of the calamity they created is the fitting end for them!

Lost in thought, and in that instant of "negligence"... the next moment, the wall next to Hiruko Kagetane was smashed to pieces!

He quickly drew two pistols and fired them repeatedly in that direction...

The two modified Beretta M93Rs fired jets of bimetal bullets at the dark figure!

But the dark figure stood firm and took the bullets head-on with its body!

No, that's not accurate. It should be said that what caught those bullets wasn't the monster's body, but the flickering electricity surrounding it! At the same time, the dark figure inside the building also moved instantly!

Hiruko Kagetane's mind suddenly tensed up, and a huge sense of crisis prompted him to activate the metal device that he had been given as a cyborg!

Repulsive field/imaginary device!

The radial repulsive force field centered on Hiruko Kagetane was opened, and the repulsive force expanding around him began to take effect, forcibly stopping the several bullets that bounced back!

But even though the bullet stopped, a terrifying electric current still traveled through his repulsive force field and into his body!

Hiruko Kagetane was covered in cold sweat, enduring the excruciating pain inside his body and the electric current constantly transmitting from below, a strong tingling and numb sensation like being poisoned!

At that moment, the faint moonlight shone down, and Hiruko Kagetane finally saw what the monster that attacked him looked like.

It was a not-so-large monster, a black monster that was about five or six meters long and resembled a snake.

Unlike the twisted and bizarre shapes of typical Gastrea, it has a streamlined head, a smooth and slender body, and a head that protrudes backward like a black carapace, with three blood-red lines that seem to replace the monster's eyes.

A pair of sharp claws, yet small in comparison to its size, the monster's appearance... reminded Hiruko Kagetane of an old movie called "Alien".

But in any case, this monster is probably far more terrifying than something like the Alien!

The monster swirled its slender body and vanished from Hiruko Kagetane's sight in an instant!

He broke out in a cold sweat and almost instinctively activated the Imaginary Gimmick within his body. He screamed and his hand instantly formed a weapon resembling a long spear with phosphorescence, which he thrust diagonally backward!

I won!

The phosphorescent spear has the distinct tactile sensation of piercing flesh, and once it hits flesh, as long as it is a Gastrea, it will definitely not have an easy time!

Before he could even catch his breath, the monster, as if it hadn't been harmed at all, shrieked and charged at Hiruko Kagetane, writhing in terrifying electric current!

Despite the extremely close distance, Hiruko Kagetane, with his repulsive force domain, should not be afraid.

But strangely, the repulsive force field, which was powerful enough to easily overturn heavy trucks and stop the flow of bullets, was neutralized by that strange electric current almost instantly!

Hiruko Kagetane's blood vessels burst wildly, a sign of overusing his power. However, even with his power overloaded, he still couldn't withstand the monster in the slightest.

"Eat!"

The dark shadow screamed and pounced, almost instantly entangling Hiruko Kagetane.

Just like a giant python hunting its prey, it coiled around his body... and the alien-like head opened its gaping maw filled with sharp teeth!

He was going to die here, without a doubt.

As if counting down the days until his death, Hiruko Kagetane felt no fear... Instead, he felt a sense of relaxation, relief, and helplessness.

He only hoped that his daughter, Hina, who was both his best work and his daughter, could live a good life after he left, at the very least... to stay away from the humans who persecuted them.

Although he was also someone who had persecuted that child in the past.

Just as Hiruko Kagetane closed his eyes and awaited death, suddenly, an incredibly powerful energy burst forth from the side!

Almost instantly, the energy blasted the monster that was binding Hiruko Kagetane to pieces, without harming him in the slightest. Hiruko Kagetane stood there stunned for a while before turning his head to look in disbelief.

"Has the assimilation reached this level? It seems the plan needs to be launched ahead of schedule."

The person who emerged from the darkness muttered to himself, his face now fully exposed to Hiruko Kagetane.

He was a handsome young man with silver hair, blue and silver eyes, and an angelic face. He wore a sky-blue fitted suit, which made him look capable and approachable.

"You...you know what this monster is?" Hiruko Kagetane looked at the young man and couldn't help but ask...

The young man stared at Hiruko Kagehira for a moment, his different colored pupils seeming to see right through him.

After a long silence, the young man spoke with a slight smile.

"That's right, this monster isn't a Gastrea, or rather, it's not simply a viral animal."

Hiruko Kagetane picked up his sidearm somewhat awkwardly. He had so many questions he wanted to ask: Who was he? What was the information about this monster? And what exactly was this power of his?

But all the words, once they reached his lips, turned into just two simple syllables.

"Thanks……"

Even Hiruko Kagetane himself could hardly believe it; in front of this young man, he seemed to have all his defenses naturally lowered.

An indescribable charm made him instinctively trust him, rendering all his malicious speculations and vigilance ineffective against the young man before him.

It was a very strange feeling, as if he was born to submit to the person in front of him!

"It seems you are quite a talented person as well, then I have been rather rude."

The young man smiled and tossed a business card over. Hiruko Kagetane caught it and saw that it was printed with a blue globe logo and four very simple Chinese characters.

"Lanmeng...Company?"

"Yes, Lanmeng Company, I am Bai Wujie, the president of Lanmeng Company."

The young man smiled reservedly and happily, looking at Hiruko Kagetane as if he had discovered some interesting toy.

"How about it? Those who yearn to purify this vile world, why not join Blue Dream Company?"

"How about we destroy this hopeless world together and create a blue dream that belongs to us?"

1. A world that makes no sense

I woke up in this wicked paradise again, and I still experienced this hazy and profound dream memory.

Bai Wujie opened his eyes, and in this wicked paradise, what appeared before him was a strange form.

He sat on a chair in the center of a garden, holding a book and flipping through it amidst the endless drifting clouds.

The strange thing about this form is that it seems to have no physical substance at all, like a pure ball of light and shadow, but you can still vaguely see some outlines.

And this silhouette has one very noticeable feature—that is, the middle part of his bangs seems to have an exceptionally long strand of hair…

Yeah, that's weirdly annoying, making Bai Wujie want to rip it off just looking at it!

"Skynet's technology is indeed amazing. In fact, if you could stay there until the end and then come out, you might be truly invincible in that era."

The powerful figure closed the book in his hand and smiled at Bai Wujie... Although the original servile tone was no longer present, Bai Wujie could still sense a hint of malice hidden within it...

"What's the point of saying all this nonsense?" Bai Wujie said expressionlessly.

"I was just sighing," the powerful being laughed.

"Because the Thousand-Army Martial God that resounds throughout the land is just such a thing. It's just a pity that a device capable of 'creating' a top-tier expert could only produce two half-baked, incomplete products. A precocious child under ten years old, and another incomprehensible thing..."

Bai Wujie frowned slightly. There was no doubt that the defective product the powerful being mentioned included him.

That was indeed the case with Bai Wujie back then. Although he used the Hell Ascension Device... he had to leave prematurely during its use, causing the device to break down and only transferring a portion of the power and martial arts memories...

Tsk, whatever, it's all meaningless anyway.

"You performed very well in the last world." The powerful figure smiled and clapped.
