I'm a magnetic field madman

We succeeded! We killed Muzan! We destroyed the demons!

A tsunami of cheers swept across the front of the Imperial Palace like a wave, and even the usually stern pillars were in tears, embracing each other in ecstasy!

Bai Wujie looked at the wave of celebration, glanced at Ubuyashiki Kagaya beside him, and grinned...

Should I congratulate you on getting what you wanted?

"We were able to do all this thanks to you, Mr. Bai."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at the bloodstains on his hands, unable to contain his joy, and laughed with pleasure in this corpse-like body...

Even though the body's physical functions were almost exhausted, he felt his body become infinitely lighter the moment he killed Muzan.

It was as if the source of the illness had finally left this incurable body, and the curse that had plagued the Ubuyashiki family for thousands of years had finally come to an end here!

"So, what are you planning to do next?" Bai Wujie looked at the laughing demon hunters and asked with a playful smile...

"Without prey, the hunter loses his purpose. Without ghosts, what will you ghost hunters do?"

"This profession shouldn't even exist in this world," Kagaya Ubuyashiki said casually.

“We are a force that exists to correct what distorts the world. Now that the source of that distortion has disappeared, we should retire.”

"Really? Then I should congratulate you."

A strange smile appeared on Bai Wujie's face. He walked forward to the collapsed ruins of the Infinite City, waved his hand to clear away all the suppressed debris, and pulled out two people buried inside.

One is Nezuko, and the other is Reiko, who is about to die.

The first rays of morning sunlight were already setting, and Nezuko stared blankly at her hands, which were gradually recovering. Bai Wujie, ignoring the bait, simply picked up the nearly dead Reiko and tilted his head, saying…

"You're really tough on the body."

"Help, help me..."

Lingzi struggled to send out a distress signal; she pleaded, begged for life, and prayed for the possibility of surviving.

Bai Wujie used her to eventually capture Muzan and kill him, but Bai Wujie never cared about Ling Yuzi's safety.

Because she was not even a subordinate, just a pure tool.

However, since she survived, Bai Wujie did not hesitate to give her the reward she wanted.

Because he's a person who treats his subordinates exceptionally well! As long as those who follow him are loyal and capable enough, Bai Wujie will never hesitate to give them "help"—that's his way of honor!

Bai Wujie slit his wrist, and drops of thick blood dripped into Ling Yuzi's mouth from the wound.

She greedily absorbed the precious red life force, and as the blood seeped into her mouth, her body, which should have dissipated like ashes, gradually recovered.

At that moment, the scene seemed to fall silent instantly.

Lingyu is a demon, without a doubt. Those demon horns, that superhuman regenerative ability... everything about her outward appearance highlights the fact that she is a demon.

However, ghosts shouldn't be here, or rather, ghosts shouldn't be here at this time!

Muzan is dead, so why is Reiko still alive?!

Shinobu Kocho, standing before the White Impermanence, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat... because she saw it—the instant the White Impermanence slit his wrist, his eyes—

In a fleeting moment, it transformed into blood-red vertical pupils.

Just like Muzan, just like a demon...

"Oh dear, members of the Demon Slayer Corps, it seems you've already noticed this."

Bai Wujie wiped his wrist, and the wound healed almost instantly... Then he looked at the pillars gripping their blades and laughed heartily...

"Congratulations, you probably don't need to think about retirement anymore."

It's available now!

Thanks to the support of all you crazy folks, hehe, my dear viewers, you haven't disappointed me!

However, despite this, the book's collection count still hasn't reached 10,000, so it probably won't make it onto this week's list of books with 10,000 collections.

I think firstly, I updated too quickly, and it was only a little over ten days before it was released, so I didn't have time to collect more books... Secondly, Hedgehog Cat's books are indeed too niche.

But it's okay, even if it's just me having fun, it's still pretty enjoyable.

I'm not going to keep playing the victim anymore (shrug)

But let's talk about the problems with this book.

First of all, as one of the experts in the comments section mentioned, a major problem with the Madman's Book is its power—the ability to rotate magnetic fields is too perfect and too powerful in every aspect…

Even considering his lifespan and other shortcomings, he is a perfect warrior with all six sides in terms of most of his abilities.

This makes the world difficult to write, since the Madman's strength, when it grows to 250,000 horsepower, could theoretically withstand a planetary explosion. And if we add Phoenix and other characters in later comics, the horsepower display will be even more exaggerated...

(Although I personally think that the reason why the raging storm from the explosion of Mercury didn't kill the planet was simply because the damage from the explosion was "too diffuse." In reality, the destruction was more about disrupting the magnetic field and disintegrating the planet, not a huge amount of damage. Based on this, it's an exaggeration to say that a madman with 25 horsepower could withstand the destruction of a planet.)

And besides being incredibly resilient, the madman can also heal, fight, and is quite clever...

This has led to a situation in most parts of the world where the dominant force is either "crushed" or "crushed".

Honestly, all the pure fanfiction worlds that can be written have this problem... They're so overwhelming that if you don't add other elements, it's just a complete crushing defeat.

As for those that can't be easily defeated, like the demons in A Certain Magical Index and the Saints in Dragon Ball, wow, even the ultimate Shiten-doji might not be enough to handle them...

Therefore, unless it's a world like Marvel or DC (the cinematic universe) that has a relatively balanced pace and a clear division of map levels, most worlds present challenges in writing.

Pure crushing defeats completely fail to capture the madman's struggle and breakthrough, while an overly exaggerated world makes it impossible for the madman to enjoy the experience.

And the glass cannon worldview of Naruto is also difficult to write...

So I'm looking for a compromise that's enjoyable without being too extreme.

The next world of The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty is an attempt in this direction. In this volume of the story, it is no longer just Bai Wujie who is going crazy, or even the main characters who are going crazy are not him, but other characters who have been "modified".

Whether it's being given a magnetic field to rotate or having other elements added (such as divine weapons appearing out of nowhere)...

It allows the madman to raise the flag and fight to his heart's content, but also prevents him from being dragged out to fight because of his exaggerated background.

But one thing is certain: the madness will definitely happen. It might take a little time to build up, but it will definitely be exhilarating!

And if the story were to involve black bullets later, it would follow a similar approach... but instead of other lunatics, there would be other things that could bring "unexpected surprises" to both the lunatics and ordinary people...

As for the One Piece world, I might get involved with other powerful characters from the original work!

However, one thing is certain: the final or penultimate volume of this book will definitely return to the world of Sea Tiger, most likely going back to Sea Tiger II.

Tsk, it feels like I'm going to write some ensemble pieces again!

In short, I will try my best to learn from my mistakes and correct them.

Also, I'll post the bounty results first today, and then finish posting the rest of the Demon Slayer arc...

Then, on Saturday and Sunday, let's tally up the bounties and release the subsequent side stories and past chapters as soon as possible.

It's also a kind of experiment, to see if my past chapters about the madman are readable. If not, I'll just use short-form recollections for everything from now on.

In short, I'll try my best not to disappoint you gentlemen!

41. The True Form of the War Demon

At times, Bai Wujie is a person with a strong sense of mischievousness, like a child who enjoys playing pranks.

Sometimes, he just likes to play pranks that he finds very funny. He gets a great sense of satisfaction from seeing other people's bewildered expressions when he pranks them.

Just like now, in front of the team that had gone through many hardships to kill the Demon King, a new enemy stood in their way.

Former comrades—or perhaps not even comrades, but undoubtedly the most terrifying allies—have become even greater demon kings in the blink of an eye. Looking at the astonished expressions of these heroes, Bai Wujie felt a thrill, like his manhood had been pulled up!

"Mr. Bai, what... what have you done?!"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's body trembled uncontrollably. He stared in disbelief at Shiro Mukai, whose eyes were bloodshot, and then at Reiko, who had come back to life behind him. His voice trembled as he roared angrily...

"As you can see, I made a little use of this interesting blood to explore the potential that this useless person without a spring pouch couldn't discover, making me even more...perfect."

Bai Wujie looked at Ubuyashiki Kagaya, whose eyes, now back to their original color, held a playful and mocking expression...

Bai Wujie used Kibutsuji Muzan's interesting cells to make some minor modifications to his own body.

But he could not possibly transform himself into a pathetic being like Muzan Kibutsuji. The small modifications he made to himself were the result of multiple adaptations.

Demons like Muzan Kibutsuji lose a large amount of DNA with each cell division...

Therefore, they had no choice but to seek out "humans" to replenish their missing DNA...

Furthermore, due to the chemical reaction that occurs when the replenished DNA combines with the substances in the body's cells that allow telomerase to divide without damage, the cell membrane decomposes rapidly when exposed to ultraviolet light. This is the biggest weakness of these kinds of ghosts.

Demons like Nezuko, on the other hand, used other methods to complete another form of evolution.

It preserves the property of telomerase in the body without causing damage during cell division, but chooses to obtain the DNA lost during cell division and the large amount of nutrients required in another way.

The cytoplasm evolved into an organelle similar to a chloroplast that can perform photosynthesis...

Therefore, even without eating, one can still obtain nutrition by supplementing trace elements and absorbing sunlight...

Then, it ensures that the body, after division and repair, does not "mutate" by replicating the DNA of its own intact cells.

However, this still has its flaws; the fact that Nezuko has to be regressed to a toddler's age is its biggest drawback.

Because of the slow pace of nutrient replenishment, coupled with the long time required for the body to adapt and evolve...

This forced her to remain in an larval state and in a prolonged period of "sleep" to mitigate the DNA loss and nutrient deficiencies caused by cell division...

Even so, Nezuko suffered severe physical damage...

Even after multiple cell divisions, cells will still instinctively crave "food" to replenish lost DNA more quickly.

Not to mention that the latter almost gave up the ability to develop "families" in order to evolve cytoplasm with chloroplast structure.

Neither of these is the outcome Bai Wujie wants.

During this period, Muzan's large-scale creation of Familias resulted in a large number of interesting mutations appearing in a wide range of samples... and these mutations could become the research material for Bai Wujie.

His research in biology has always been exceptionally strong...

Or rather, every magnetic field expert who is proficient in cell recombination has an incredibly deep understanding of the human gene pool!

Only those with the deepest understanding of human genes can freely reorganize cells into physical bodies, alter appearances, and even easily change gender. Even more powerful individuals can even transform a person into a completely non-existent species!

This powerful ability could not possibly be accomplished by some foolish thing that has no knowledge of biology whatsoever!

Most people with strong magnetic fields are like this; they possess extraordinary wisdom and knowledge that surpasses that of ordinary people, but they are rarely willing to use or think about it.

Because most of their strength does not rely on this, they consider knowledge and wisdom to be merely tools for utilizing knowledge.

Bai Wujie doesn't think so, or rather, Bai Wujie doesn't believe that wisdom and knowledge are completely useless!

He searched for many mutant samples to simulate the force of magnetic field rotation and conducted in-depth research on existing research materials, and finally unearthed the original cellular sample of the ghost creature.

This result amazed Bai Wujie. He was astonished that a wise man in this backward era could accomplish such a miraculous feat.

Using simple herbs and raw ingredients, it's amazing that such a miracle can be achieved, something that even the most advanced biotechnology can't do!

Amazed by the wisdom of our predecessors and the formidable reality of humankind, Bai Wujie then carried out radical adaptive modifications to the original cell samples.

First, the new cells formed by the combination of the original cells implanted in the body and Bai Wujie's own cells will no longer have the characteristic of DNA loss after division, and will perfectly replicate and inherit the most complete sample for replication and division.

Secondly, the "nutrients" needed for cell division will be obtained directly from the force of the magnetic field rotation stored in the cell.

Furthermore, cell membranes filled with the rotational force of a magnetic field are even less likely to be destroyed by ultraviolet radiation!

In other words, the "ghost" that Bai Wujie transformed into is immortal and its body will have a constant passive ability of "cell regeneration". It does not need to eat people, is not afraid of any sunlight, and can still reproduce.

Aside from the fact that he cannot synthesize and create the "Blood Demon Art" because he cannot eat humans, it can almost be said that this is the perfect demon king that Muzan Kibutsuji longed for!

In reality, the perfect cells that have been combined can also "degenerate" back to their original form at any time under Bai Wujie's control.

But this would require power at least at the 25th level of the Heavenly Realm to accomplish.

The reason this point was retained is because Bai Wujie does not consider those with strong magnetic fields to be "human"...

The bodies of the Magnetic Field Warriors have, to a large extent, transcended the human realm.

But that's something only those at the fiftieth level or higher can demonstrate.

The magnetic field martial gods above the fiftieth level, apart from their outward appearance resembling humans, all their internal organs...

Apart from the heart, which is the source of power that supplies the whole body, and the brain, which is responsible for thinking, everything else can be discarded directly.
