I'm a magnetic field madman

She came here only to ensure that there would be no more people in the Blue Dream Tower; as for the rest... that's up to Bai Wujie himself.

Well, he surely hasn't forgotten that there's a nuclear bomb buried under his hometown.

39. The curtain gradually rises.

Today is the New Year, a time for family reunions.

The fine snow was falling gently outside the window, and even the most heartless capitalist gave his cattle and horses a break for dinner.

Because we belong to the same cultural sphere, the festive atmosphere outside the window evoked a feeling that was hard to describe.

I don't know if it's homesickness or some other kind of feeling.

"After two weeks of infiltration, you have all successfully completed your mission."

Inside the secret operations base in Osaka, Higashi Yuki looked at everyone in the room with a serious yet approving expression...

Although it was their first time leaving their homeland to work as spies in someone else's territory, they did it exceptionally well!

The necessary materials and industrial equipment have now been transported to the vicinity of Misaki-cho, near the coast of Osaka, and ships returning home have secretly carried them back to the country. Once everything is in place, the plan to resettle millions of people will be launched immediately.

In essence, their mission had come to a successful conclusion, and whether or not to continue their revenge against the Japanese was simply a matter outside the plan.

"Then, this isn't the 'plan' part anymore." Dong Xue removed her prosthetic eye, her tone chilling...

"What follows is simply revenge. 'Demons' have been buried throughout the city, ready to be unleashed at any moment; all that's needed is to destroy the megaliths in each area—"

Gastrea will flood into the city like a tidal wave, devouring all the millions of people in the city without leaving a single one alive!

They would wail in agony, and in utter despair, be devoured alive by what their loved ones had become.

But they have nothing to be pitied, because this is what the people of their homeland have also experienced.

Such a despicable and shameless act of betrayal, and why shouldn't their people pay the price they deserve?

Hatred and hatred can only end with the complete slaughter of one side!

Looking at her sworn sister, Wu Wei had her own thoughts, but she didn't voice them.

In just over two weeks, she came into contact with far too many people from the same impoverished background as Weijiang, living in safe places...

Yet they lead a miserable life completely different from those superior people, as if they were from another species.

Wu Wei's thinking had already changed. They were not the same people who had betrayed their country before, nor had they benefited from the betrayal.

If living a life worse than death is a kind of benefit, then this is the only "war dividend" they enjoy.

If we're talking about people who deserve to die even more, then the Japanese people living in Tokyo deserve to die even more.

Shouldn't they pay a price for the pleasure they derive from betrayal?

Ignorance and being deceived should not be excuses for innocence.

But the truth is, they need to selectively ignore the Japanese people in Tokyo...

Yet they inflict slaughter and destruction on the people of Osaka, whose misery is not much different from their own.

Of course, she doesn't think these people are innocent. When hatred is amplified to the national level, it's hard to say that the word "innocent" has any real value.

Wu Wei didn't want to say anything hypocritical or nonsensical...

She's not the kind of hypocrite who ignores her own hatred and the suffering of others because of empathy.

But this double standard in the different approaches taken by Tokyo and Osaka made her instinctively uncomfortable.

After all, the fact that everyone knows but no one mentions is simply that they ignored Tokyo because they were afraid of the power of Bai Wujie and Lanmeng Company.

She wouldn't say anything that would put her sworn sister in a difficult position, but she also wouldn't be as vocal in her threats of violence as before.

Her silence and inaction were the only answer she could give in this difficult situation.

"I don't think... there's any need to go to such extremes."

But just then, someone raised their hand and whispered, drawing the attention of Dongxue and her companions. She took a deep breath, as if gathering her courage, and said...

"These people who betrayed our country deserve to be torn to pieces! But we shouldn't extend our revenge to everyone; ordinary people living in this city are not happy."

They are merely tragic cogs forced to turn under the oppressive pressure of society; perhaps we should give them a chance!

Wu Wei felt a surge of uncontrollable joy, ashamed of her inaction, but also admiring her companion's willingness to speak up.

"Opportunity? What kind of opportunity do you mean?" Dongxue wasn't angry or anything; she just looked at her calmly and asked...

"Are you going to make them atone for their sins through labor and work? Do you intend to continue 'enslaving' them? Or are you going to let them live and wait to be eliminated by the Blue Dream Corporation?"

The speaker was momentarily speechless, undoubtedly because his reason for speaking was not out of any selfish desires or personal thoughts... But even if it was out of a noble belief, it was still speaking without thinking.

"I don't reject your other ideas, but remember that our revenge is ultimately based on our personal desires and has nothing to do with the collective," Dongxue said calmly, scanning everyone around her.

"Do what you can, or do what you are capable of. We don't need to have any psychological burden, but perhaps we shouldn't be overwhelmed by irrational emotions either."

Wu Wei lowered her head in shame, undoubtedly answering all the questions Dong Xue had raised.

They carry undue psychological burdens, yet are influenced by irrational emotions.

Her sworn sister was far more suitable to be a leader than she was, and Wu Wei knew this perfectly well…

Having witnessed her parents being devoured by Gastrea, Higashiyuki undoubtedly harbors a greater hatred for this country than for herself, yet she remains remarkably calm.

"But since you have this idea, then we can simply try a different approach," Dongxue said calmly, glancing at her sworn sister.

"Instead of destroying those megaliths, we should concentrate the demon's destruction on the 'Central District'... Since our targets for revenge are those who truly participated in betraying and harming the country, then we should direct our efforts in the right direction, lest even one damned war criminal escape."

Dongxue's words undoubtedly catered to both groups of people with differing opinions... neither those who harbored pity nor those who only hoped for blood revenge would refute her words.

Having aligned her companions' thoughts and goals, Dongxue swiftly issued the order to begin action that very night.

However, a huge worry still loomed over Dong Xue's heart: what exactly did Bai Wujie want to do?

"Rentaro, hurry up!!"

The almost impatient voice of Ziyuan Xianyi reached his ears...

Meanwhile, Rentaro and Mibu Asaka beside him had already dealt with all the sentry guns and combat robots in the hall and used their authority to open the elevator to the lower level.

Ziyuan Xianyi's attitude was very bad, and it was also detrimental to the image of a kind and benevolent elder that he had cultivated for himself.

But he couldn't afford to be complacent, because failure meant death was the best outcome awaiting him.

Rentaro did not reply; in effect, all communication was cut off once he entered the elevator.

Rentaro's expression beneath his armor was anything but pleasant... because the intense unease that lingered in his heart never ceased!

Why, why haven't any members of the Dream Creator Team shown up yet?

Even if they were assigned to exterminate Gastrea and maintain order in the region...

The Dream Beast Team, whose actual number of members is only a little over a thousand, had to disperse. But why didn't a single heavyweight security guard step forward when the important Blue Dream Tower was in trouble?

Even though only three minutes had passed since the incident, this intense, irrational sense of unease still made him feel very uncomfortable.

As the elevator plummeted heavily and thoughtfully, Rentaro shifted his attention to the slightly panting girl beside him, who was holding a knife.

He looked at Mibu Asaka holding her katana, and for a moment, he saw her as Tendo Kisara when she was a child.

This prompted him to speak up...

"Why did you take on such a dangerous job?"

"It wasn't because of me, I was just following my teacher's instructions," Mibu Asaka replied to Rentaro's question while recovering her strength.

Rentaro was momentarily speechless, because he seemed to be hearing this kind of answer all the time lately.

Reason? There is no reason, just as there is no need to find a reason to live; it is simply about living.

In the end, the one who keeps asking others for reasons is probably the most clueless and has no reason to take any action.

With a jolt, the elevator finally descended to the correct floor.

However, when Rentaro stepped out of the elevator and prepared for battle, there was no fierce defense as he had imagined.

There was only charred marks covering the entire floor, and a miniature nuclear bomb placed right in front of it.

Rentaro couldn't help but search left and right, but he couldn't find any corpses. The situation was so strange that it made Rentaro even more uneasy, but he didn't have time to think anymore.

After opening the heavy briefcase containing the miniature nuclear bomb and entering a complex password of more than ten digits... the countdown inside the large briefcase that was activated was only five minutes long!

Rentaro's heart sank! Five minutes of manual start-up time—what did that mean?

This means that under normal circumstances, the person who activates a nuclear bomb would have no chance of escaping the blast radius!

Mr. Ziyuan betrayed him without hesitation!

With no time to vent his grief and anger, Rentaro decisively dragged Mibu Asaka, who was still confused about the situation, back into the elevator.

While frantically pressing the up button, he finally couldn't hold back and cursed out loud...

"Fuck them! They're all a bunch of fucking bastards!!"

"Were we betrayed?" Mibu Asaka looked at the enraged Rentaro with lingering fear, but still mustered her courage to ask...

"..." Rentaro didn't answer. What was the point of him answering now? The person who had taken care of him since childhood, who was like his only elder in the cold Tendo family, had sold him off so directly. His heart was so heavy that he couldn't say anything.

About two minutes later, the elevator doors opened again... Rentaro no longer had time to think about why his actions were so simple and ridiculously childish.

He grabbed Mibu Asaka and rushed out of the Blue Dream Tower, which was littered with the wreckage of war machines, just as a modified SUV was already speeding towards them from the street corner.

Mibu Asaka, who was beside him, immediately broke free from his hand and rushed over happily.

“My paternal…”

"Be careful!!"

Tina's urgent warning ripped through my ears, followed by the sounds of fierce fighting. But even more piercing than the sounds was the sight of a silver-white figure descending from the sky!

So abrupt, so direct, a silver-white figure about three meters tall crushed Mibu Asaka beneath its feet into a bursting watermelon the moment it fell. The girl who had just been cute and lively, expecting someone she trusted to come and pick her up, was now a pile of minced flesh and blood.

Rentaro's eyes widened, his mind blank, simply because everything that had suddenly happened was far beyond his comprehension.

Until the silver-white figure slowly stood up, its body, more than four meters tall, was a huge combat armor with two giant arms and two giant pistols about two meters long that were enlarged to the same size. The thing that had instantly crushed Mibu Asaka in front of it was like a huge humanoid fortress.

After trampling the little girl to death, he showed no mercy as he yelled at my charioteer who had jumped out of the car and was charging at him. The deafening magnetic field impact sent both the man and the car to their deaths.

"Long time no see, Number Two."

Then that familiar voice rang in my ears again, and there was this enormous machine monster, like a humanoid fortress, and in the middle of it was none other than Hiruko Kagetane's persistent locust head.

His voice remained cold and emotionless, like a machine's... Hiruko Kagetane, whose entire being seemed to scream "I've been brainwashed," launched another attack on his "fated rival."

This time, there will be no turning back for Hiruko Kagetane; he must defeat Rentaro…

This is the only way to prove that you are the right person to be part of the "Magnetic Knight" modification project.

Hiruko Kagetane wanted to win, but even more so, he wanted to survive, so he decided to kill his rival.

Bai Wujie will no longer show Rentaro any special treatment, simply because as a clown, he has already gained entry into the inner circle...

If one cannot provide the emperor with a performance that pleases him through their own efforts, then they deserve to die.

However, Rentaro had no other thoughts at that moment.

The intense emotional turmoil, the pain and loss of being betrayed by someone you trusted, the shock of suddenly witnessing your companions die tragically before your eyes... and finally, the terror of a nuclear bomb buried underground that is about to send you to your death.

Emotions intertwined, gathered, and clashed, and Rentaro's magnetic field power, which had been accumulating for three months... erupted without warning.

Without any warning, a terrifying magnetic field force exploded uncontrollably on Rentaro's body!

His armor instantly turned jet black, adorned with golden patterns. His eyes, too, became completely black.

"Roar!"

A roar like that of a wild beast—this is a manifestation of complete loss of reason. The magnetic field power explodes due to accumulated pressure and emotions, and at the same time, it also makes emotions extreme!

Hiruko Kagetane instantly drew two giant magnetic pistols from his back. These pistols, which were more like cannons than guns, spewed out bullets with strong magnetic force!

As a Magnetic Field Knight, his enhancement focuses on "weaponization" rather than his own strength... He is more like a humanoid version of Afei than an artificial magnetic field powerhouse.

Countless roaring magnetic field bullets rained down like raindrops, each carrying the terrifying power of ten thousand swords and cannons, intent on tearing everything in front of them to shreds!

Rentaro did not try to dodge, or rather, he no longer had the leisure to think things through.

He charged head-on into the countless silver magnetic field projectiles... The surging golden lightning automatically formed a powerful protective force around him, instantly deflecting the dozens of magnetic field projectiles that attacked simultaneously!

"Eat!"

A vicious kick landed squarely on Hiruko Kagetane's chest, instantly piercing through his protective strength of 150,000 horsepower...
