"Meaningless Trash, Get Out of My Way!"

"What was that? Why had your fist become so strong?"

The thoughts of a magnetic force powerhouse raced like lightning. Bai Xing had thought so much, but in reality, only an instant had passed.

Yet even that brief moment was enough for Sato to complete his regeneration.

Starting from a relatively intact thigh, Sato regrew his limbs.

His clothes had all turned into strips of cloth, hanging loosely from his body and exposing his muscular physique beneath.

As he spoke, he bent down, picked up his cap, and placed it on his head.

Even though he was practically naked, he still had to have his cap. It was clear just how obsessed he was with it.

No wonder Tozaki Yuu had designated his codename as "Hat" during the operation against him!

Sato, now wearing his cap, narrowed his eyes as a sharp gleam flashed within them.

He could sense that when Bai Xing threw his punches, there was something special beyond sheer overwhelming strength.

"Let me think. That should be some kind of special combat technique, right? No, it's something more advanced than an ordinary combat technique."

Before becoming a magnetic force powerhouse, Sato had already possessed strength comparable to an elite urban combat king.

Whether it was all kinds of firearms or close-quarters combat, he was highly skilled in both.

Yet that was not what truly surprised Bai Xing.

"To have keenly noticed those things during that instant of exchange, it seems I underestimated your talent somewhat.

Perhaps your talent is no less than Nagai Kei's!

Since that is the case, I shall tell you the proper way to use Magnetic Force.

Martial arts!

Remember, all things can be martial arts, while heaven and earth, nature itself, are the Dao.

Perhaps one day, you may have the chance to step into the realm of true powerhouses.

The realm of Magnetic Field Rotation!"

Sato smiled faintly. "You flatter me. I merely took advantage of being an Ajin.

If I were not an Ajin, that blow just now would have killed me completely. Even if I had understood something, what meaning would it have had?"

Because Bai Xing had not attacked the armed helicopters, armored vehicles, or tanks surrounding them.

The artillery fire had not stopped.

It seemed the US Military intended to use a blanket bombardment strategy to suppress them from all directions.

Magnetic manipulation was not omnipotent, just as discussing medicinal effects without dosage was meaningless.

The ability to control magnetic fields might naturally counter modern weaponry.

But if the firepower was fierce enough to exceed the limits of that control, it could still inflict harm upon its target.

And Bai Xing's decision to merely defend without retaliating gave the US Military hope that they could suppress them.

Unfortunately, reality was the exact opposite.

It was not that Bai Xing lacked the strength to fight back, but that he wished to use their firepower to comprehend his own martial arts.

If they knew what Bai Xing was thinking, who knew how they would react.

Although the US Military's actions failed to inflict effective damage upon targets such as Bai Xing and Sato, they brought endless trouble to the island nation's government.

The thunderous artillery shook all of Tokyo!

The spreading smoke of war left people accustomed to peaceful lives with lost and panicked expressions.

Then, chaos erupted!

Once a person began to panic and break down, it spread to those around them like a virus.

During this period, the people of the island nation, especially those in Tokyo,

had been on edge every day, with no one knowing what might happen around them the very next second.

There had simply been too many unimaginable incidents, happening far too frequently.

And now, the thunderous bombardment that sounded like the outbreak of war finally snapped that taut string.

Madness and evil bred amid the chaos, and darkness shrouded Tokyo.

Far fewer innocent civilians died from being caught in the war than perished amid the chaos.

"Why weren't you taking advantage of the chaos to escape? What were you still messing around here for?"

A force-field shield supported by Magnetic Force blocked the artillery fire outside, while Bai Xing carefully sensed every minute change occurring when those shells exploded.

Given the surprise Sato had brought him, Bai Xing truly believed he had a chance to enter the realm of Magnetic Field Rotation.

When that time came, Sato would surely be able to feed even more nourishment back to him.

Therefore, Bai Xing did not intend to end Sato here.

Killing him once just now had been enough of a lesson.

Who would have expected that after regenerating, Sato still did not leave and remained where he was?

"Because I have gained some insight as well, and I wish to verify one of my ideas."

"Oh?"

"Heh heh, if I don't take this rare opportunity, while you are still reluctant to kill me, to explore more of your strength and secrets, wouldn't leaving now be far too wasteful?"

"I appreciate your honesty, and you shall bear the corresponding price.

Let me see just how far you can go, then!!"

Before his words had even faded, Bai Xing had already appeared before Sato.

At the same time, as though he had predicted it in advance, Sato threw a punch as well!

His fist surged forward without hesitation. It was as though his body was not sending the fist forth, but the fist was dragging his body forward in its charge!

190,000 Volts of Power: Desperate Self-Sacrifice Fist!!

As an Ajin, Sato had long since lost track of how many times he had died.

Perhaps in this world, death was what he feared least.

And now, after being blasted into a mangled corpse by Bai Xing's Rapid Bullet Fist, he had gained an insight of his own.

He had created this technique, where every strike aimed for mutual destruction.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bai Xing split his attention three ways, and for a moment, even he found it difficult to kill Sato once again!

"Interesting. Again! 270,000 Volts of Power: Rapid Bullet Fist!!"

He maintained the electromagnetic force field that defended against the artillery bombardment while simultaneously comprehending the explosions.

Even so, Bai Xing's Bullet Fists did not slow in the slightest, constantly piercing through layer after layer of air resistance.

Violent currents of air surged outward in every direction, repeatedly colliding with Sato's Desperate Self-Sacrifice Fist.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sato, who had created his own technique in an instant, was undoubtedly a genius.

But the structure of the move was far too simple. It merely concentrated all the strength of his body into one point—a desperate technique that pursued harming the enemy even at the cost of injuring himself.

Though its destructive power was decent, it could hardly pose any effective threat to Bai Xing, whose strength far surpassed his own.

Bai Xing took several punches, but suffered no real injury.

Sato, however, had harmed himself eight hundred to wound his enemy a thousand. The bones in both his arms had already protruded from his flesh.

After being struck by the Bullet Fists, transparent holes appeared in his body once again.

With extreme decisiveness, he smashed his own head apart with a punch.

The next moment, Black Particles emerged.

Once his regeneration was complete, all four limbs were intact, and not even the slightest wound remained on his body.

It was as though every negative condition had been completely reset.

Ajin constitution + Magnetic Force = an immortal madman!!

"I'll help you!"

At that moment, Nagai Kei's voice rang out.

Magnetic force users could convey their consciousness through electric currents.

They did not speak aloud like ordinary people.

With artillery roaring above and all around them, while the US Military's fire coverage continued without pause,

speaking aloud was simply unrealistic.

All this time, they had actually been using magnetic field communication.

Nagai Kei, naked, swung a fist wrapped in terrifying electric currents at Sato, who had only just regenerated.

He had unexpectedly broken through his own limit as well, reaching 120,000 Volts of Power!

It turned out that the electric currents scattered during the two men's exchange had affected Nagai, who had spent quite a while as a limbless human stump.

They helped him complete his regeneration and grow new limbs.

"Meaningless trash, get out of my way!"

Before Sato could make a move, someone else struck Nagai first.

It was Bai Xing!

With just one punch, Nagai was sent flying backward, blood spraying wildly from his mouth as the muscles around his waist rapidly tore apart.

While still in midair, the freshly regenerated Nagai had already been broken into two halves.

Bai Xing had originally thought that with the protagonist's halo, Nagai could at least fight Sato to a standstill even if he could not defeat him.

He had not expected him to be so useless, turned into a limbless human stump in such a short time.

Bai Xing had now lost all patience with him!
