I'm a magnetic field madman

117. Showdown

call out!

With a flash, Bai Wujie grabbed Wu Nan and returned to the Wujie ship. Before Wu Nan could even stand up properly, Bai Wujie spoke...

"Set the target at Oort Cloud 1156.2582 and begin the jump immediately."

Without hesitation, the shipborne mech spirit, Sajō Ayaka, who was in control of the entire Mukai, immediately initiated a warp jump. Seeing this, Takeo immediately spoke up…

"Godfather, what are you doing...?"

"I've only just finished dealing with the mess your uncle made with Hell," Bai Wujie said calmly, glancing sideways at Wu Nan.

"We've minimized the impact, but that's still not enough. Some of the severe effects won't occur in the solar system, but they will cause huge changes in more distant places."

"A butterfly flapping its wings can cause a storm, and when two things like Hell and Oga clash, the trouble they cause is even greater."

Wu Nan opened his mouth slightly, but then lowered his head, unable to speak, feeling extremely ashamed.

What could he say? Blame Bai Wujie for not caring enough about him?

His adoptive father was doing something great to save the world, but he had to come back to save him because he was distracted.

This alone made Wu Nan feel incredibly guilty.

Moreover, Lan Meng's words were indeed correct in a certain sense.

Compared to him, his adoptive father was more like a truly neutral figure.

No matter how fiercely the three major powers on Earth fought... no matter how much power he already possessed enough to achieve a dominant position, he remained completely unmoved.

As for Takeo, his only task is to mediate between the second and first sons. His neutrality only applies to his family.

Of course, Wu Nan would never regret his actions... because before he wanted to fight for supremacy, Bai Wu Nan had to treat his blood relatives well.

But this is by no means an excuse for him to drag Bai Wujie into this mess.

Bai Wujie has nothing to do with any of this. To put it bluntly, even if Bai Shounan and Bai Cinan beat their brains out, he could still eat popcorn and shout from the sidelines to beat them even harder.

Moreover, Wu Nan was all too aware of the mess and entanglement between his two older brothers; describing it as a cesspool was an understatement.

Sometimes Takeo would think to himself, why not just kill either the second or the first man to shut those two bastards up?

Of course, Wu Nan himself would never do such a thing, but if even the good-tempered Wu Nan has been brought to this point, let alone Bai Wujie?

If his godfather got involved in this mess, Wu Nan really didn't know what Bai Wujie would do...

The Boundless, which had undergone a jump, broke out of hyperspace and reappeared in the Oort Cloud.

Before me floated an endless sea of ​​meteorites, and not far away was a verdant gas planet. The endless void stretched out as far as the eye could see.

The universe is beautiful

Even though he has been to many different worlds, Wu Nan still believes that his own world is the most beautiful.

If he could, he would love to abandon all his duties and venture into the depths of space.

Explore whether other civilizations exist in this world, or see what the burning constellations at the edge of the starry sky look like.

This kind of romance is perhaps inherited from the characteristics of the sea tiger.

But... Earth's gravity always pulls at Takeo's soul.

The gravity of reality is so heavy that even if ideals can take flight and soar into the sky, they will still be pulled down by reality.

"Godfather, my health condition..."

Wu Nan asked softly, his condition was not exactly good... Although the Dream Creator in his mind stopped operating after leaving the Earth environment... the effect of restricting his magnetic field power was still in operation.

"You're not expecting me to help you, are you?" Bai Wujie glanced at his adopted son, a half-smile on his face...

"Wu Nan, do you remember how I taught you when you first went on an adventure? You have to clean up your own mess. Once you choose an action, you have to bear the consequences."

Wu Nan remained silent. Undoubtedly, Bai Wujie's words and actions were absolutely not what a good father and elder should say or do. However, as an educator, Bai Wujie was absolutely right!

If a person doesn't understand the consequences of their choices... and can't learn what those consequences mean, they will never grow properly.

Just like his second brother, the second son, he was spoiled by Haihu when he was young, and then he was pampered by Xiongshi and Tiandao... to the point that he still doesn't know what the words "bear the consequences" mean.

Isn't even the white-haired man the same? Without the events of autumn, the white-haired man would probably just be a dissolute person now.

Wu Nan understood this principle very early on, because Bai Wujie constantly made him personally experience the consequences of his choices.

Good, bad, terrible, smooth—it is because of the lessons learned from these consequences that Wu Nan is who he is today.

"Although the Dreamer in your mind limits your power, you can still unleash the power of 500,000 horsepower."

Bai Wujie looked at the silent martial artist and chuckled softly...

"This is the price you have to pay for recklessly breaking your promise of neutrality. I understand that you want to stop Lan Meng from deceiving your foolish second brother... but reckless behavior comes with its consequences."

"I didn't expect Lan Meng to have such a trump card," Wu Nan said, somewhat frustrated.

"Of course, I was the one who gave him his trump card," Bai Wujie said casually.

"!!" Wu Nan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in surprise as he gaped open at the bombshell his godfather had dropped!

"What's so surprising? The Demon God was just a gift I gave to Lan Meng when we first met," Bai Wujie said with an indifferent shrug.

"Godfather—why did you do this?"

Wu Nan stood up abruptly. Although his first reaction was to want to explode, reason made him stop himself!

"Why? Haven't I helped enough people?" Bai Wujie looked at the martial man with a wicked smile.

"Didn't I help your parents reunite? The giant shark I summoned enlightened Hell and Heaven. I helped Oga understand life and even helped him mend his wife Donna. I've helped all the powerful beings, so why can't I help Lanmeng again?"

Because Lanmeng is a bad thing!

Wu Nan didn't say these words aloud because they were too naive and nonsensical.

Bad? For Bai Wujie, who is absolutely neutral, what difference is there between good and bad?

Just as he said, he has already indirectly or directly helped too many powerful people in this world—

Without exception, all the powerful individuals he "helped" embarked on completely different paths.

Moreover, he sealed most of the people inside away.

This was undoubtedly Bai Wujie's purpose, but it is also a genuine fact that he helped these experts.

He never forced anyone; ultimately, it was the strong man's own grudges and personal conflicts that led to this outcome.

In this process, Bai Wujie was at most playing the role of an intermediary.

"The thing Lan Meng got is called the Demon God, a super-powerful biological weapon invented in a future world," Bai Wujie said leisurely.

"But that is one of the very few things that can allow people to take a shortcut to become the strongest."

At this point, Bai Wujie suddenly revealed a mischievous smile, looking at Wu Nan with a playful expression...

"Wu Nan, why don't you guess how powerful a being Lan Meng's demon god can create at most?"

"970,000 horses should be the upper limit."

Wu Nan remained silent for a moment before finally giving the highest answer—970,000 horses. This is the final watershed for the strong; only by buying over this threshold can one become a true peerless powerhouse!

Although it may seem like there is only a difference of 20,000 horsepower, what it symbolizes is the absolute confidence and absolute power of the strong. Only with the assistance of an absolute realm can one break through the upper limit of 970,000 horsepower!

Of course, those who can reach 970,000 horsepower are exceptional talents, one in a million, like a lion. But unfortunately, only the strongest have the possibility of overcoming this hurdle.

Therefore, Wu Nan simply couldn't believe that a biological weapon could have the ability to break through this limit!

"No, it's 990,000 horses."

Bai Wujie's smiling tone revealed a number that Wu Nan could hardly believe...

"Do you think this is absolutely impossible? If even a lion can't overcome this obstacle, why would some nonsensical biological weapons be able to?"

Bai Wujie interlaced his fingers, looked at the incredulous martial artist, and continued...

"But Wu Nan, you've overlooked one point: why should other species have to follow the same path that humans have overcome?"

"Even the strongest cannot overcome the hurdle of 970,000 horsepower because of their mindset, soul, and the inability of magnetic field power to fully integrate with their cells. Only those who live in the face of death have the possibility of overcoming this hurdle, and this is indeed the case for humanity."

"But demons are different. They are weapons by nature, so they don't have any extra emotions. For them, driving power is just a natural thing."

According to Bai Wujie's knowledge, a supremely powerful Qiankun Demon God was born in later generations.

It not only reached a power of 990,000 horsepower, but it even has the qualifications to reach the ultimate!

For something like a demon god, the driving force doesn't require the complexities that humans do.

Their innately terrifying power flow destined them for unparalleled success in cultivating their strength; they only needed to keep moving forward.

Seeing the restless Wu Nan stand up, Bai Wujie continued speaking leisurely...

"But Wu Nan, you don't need to rush. Although the Demon God can break through 990,000 horses, certain conditions are still required... And for the Demon God, propelling the power is indeed easy, but such a smooth path brings—"

"It's a deficiency in another aspect."

118. Wu Nan departs.

As a biological weapon, the Demon God is qualified to reach 990,000 horsepower... As a mechanical weapon, Yafei also has the ability to reach 990,000 horsepower...

These two war machines represent the direct answer to the highest level of military power in this universe, aside from those with strong magnetic fields.

However, for these two weapons to reach this stage, some prerequisites are still required.

A demon god needs to possess a qualified host body to have the possibility of breaking through the 970,000 horsepower limit. Just like the Qiankun Demon God, his host body was also a qualified and powerful person... or rather, his past and present lives were inextricably linked to the demon god.

Without a physical body, simply piling up power on the body of a demon god will most likely result in collapse once the limit is reached.

Or perhaps because there is no unified primordial spirit, the whole thing becomes a giant firecracker.

The same applies to Yafei. Without Bai Baobao's brain... Tianwang could at most generate 920,000 horsepower for its Yafei.

It's not that he can't improve, but that another substitute is no longer something that a simple AI can perfectly control.

Of course, this is also because Skynet didn't have time to continue its research... but without a doubt, this proves the limitations of magnetic field weapons themselves.

That is, the lack of a "soul"...

The existence of an absolute powerhouse must involve the presence of a distinct personal soul.

Unless you are the ultimate powerhouse who can turn miracles into reality, every weapon must adhere to this principle. Without a tangible soul and spirit, you cannot wield that immense power.

Because after 970,000 horsepower, the strong need to integrate that power into the essence of their own soul.

This dangerous process cannot be accomplished by soulless machines and weapons—the absence of a soul and spirit is an advantage for weapons… but it is also the constraint that prevents them from reaching their peak.

Of course, if you are the ultimate powerhouse, none of these problems are problems.

But since you've become the ultimate powerhouse, a person with 990,000 horsepower is nothing more than a slightly larger ant to you... You could even create a powerhouse with 990,000 horsepower whenever you feel like it.

Lan Meng understood this principle, so his "Gods" plan was to capture qualified strongmen and then transform them, as well as to find qualified "original bodies".

The angel he had was like that. How should I put it? Because of the change in the timeline, the unlucky Broken Dream was directly found by Blue Dream this time and even transformed into her angel.

With the trump card of Breaking Dream, which to some extent replaces Oga, Lanmeng had absolute confidence and dared to fight against the First Man together with the Second Man.

Or rather, it's about reverting to one's true, cunning nature and scheming against everyone.

Bai Wujie was pleased to see this scene, even though he disliked Gou Lv's personality. He was happy to see the changes and transformations brought about by Lan Meng.

He detests monotony, while change is the way that can unleash the most brilliant light of a strong soul!

Putting Lan Meng, this mudfish, into the fish bucket—Bai Wujie's method… from the perspective of the powerful being and himself, was absolutely correct.

However, Bai Wujie's actions were tantamount to filling in the gaps in the original history.

If history had followed its original course, Lanmeng would still have had a trump card because Oga survived the battle against Hell...

That's why he had the confidence to plot against the second and first men, and almost made his blue dream come true.

But in this battle, Oga and Hell were both sealed by powerful beings... and under such circumstances, if Lan Meng doesn't receive any other reinforcements... then it's basically impossible for him to realize the so-called Blue Dream.

Ultimately, whether it's a conspiracy or a brilliant idea, the ingenuity of thought and the realization of the result still cannot escape the issue of execution.

Without the power to execute this plan, what right did Lan Meng have to sit at the table? All he could probably do was gamble everything in the original history, betting all his chips.

By giving Lan Meng the Demon God, Bai Wujie gave Lan Meng the "confidence" to replace Oga.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, Bai Wujie's actions may be exactly what the powerful beings wanted to see, a kind of correction to the course of history.
