Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Electric Current Push | 2 | Receives the basic power and access to a training space from the system. Entry requires calm concentration; time inside differs from outside time. |
| Electric Current Push; approximately 30% Complete Realm | 3 | Completes three years under Great Saber and can unleash Avici Hell Blade — Eighteen Levels of Hell. His blade blank deliberately suppresses advancement into Magnetic Field Rotation. |
| Complete Realm above his previous 30% | 27 | Improves force transmission and output control. He believes he has surpassed three-tenths but lacks a reliable comparison. |
| Rapid, unstable expansion of Magnetic Field Power | 45 | Leaves Greece with a hastily developed realm that he must actively stabilize. The passage does not specify his horsepower. |
| Magnetic Field Rotation — 250,000 horsepower | 48 | Demonstrates Orca Tyrant Fist and other Whale-Style techniques after nearly three years with Oga. Oga considers his performance the limit achievable at that horsepower. |
| Increased power throughput | 78 | Beelzebub’s continuous absorption forces his power flow to improve during combat. |
| Magnetic Field Power lost | 108 115 | Seals his original body against the system’s use. Afterward, he possesses neither Magnetic Field Rotation nor Electric Current Push. |
| Magical energy controlled through Complete Realm | 115 | Applies his retained training to magical energy despite losing his original power. |
| Magnetic Field Power restored; emergence of his ultimate understanding | 122 | Power circulates as a small yin-yang formation in his lower abdomen. Bai Wunan recognizes that he has touched a new realm. |
| Final Realm | 129 | His understanding of Magnetic Field Power reaches the pinnacle attainable by humans, allowing him to derive Sky Explosive Fist from its principles. |
| Electric Current Push in a frail body | 130 | Retains superior Complete Realm mastery but is severely outmatched in raw output by the Supreme Heavenly King’s 500,000 horsepower. |
| Magnetic Field Rotation — 200,000 horsepower | 133 | Combined with Final Realm, this is enough for him to consider killing his opponent at the risk of mutual destruction. |
| Magnetic Field Rotation — 250,000 horsepower | 133 | Forces his power beyond the body’s limits during the same confrontation. |
| Magnetic Field Rotation — 370,000 horsepower | 133 | Continues the rapid breakthrough. |
| Magnetic Field Rotation — 490,000 horsepower | 133 | Reaches the highest explicitly stated output in this surge. |
| Asura Reincarnation | 182 | Reveals the Asura Way developed with Tiandao and combines it with Orca Heaven and Earth Way. Each of his proposed three strikes consumes five years of life. |
| Spatial application of Magnetic Field Power | 256 | Produces black, threadlike power and passes unharmed through a spatial barrier while studying space. |
| Fifty-First Heaven | 276 | Trades blows evenly with the Eighty-Fifth Heaven Heaven and Earth Demon God, appearing to hold a slight advantage. |
| Magnetic Field Rotation — 760,000 horsepower | 360 | Reviews his first battle at this level and begins planning further development of Avici Uninterrupted. |
| Expanded perception after absorbing a Fantasy Tree | 417 | Discovers that his sensory range has increased enough to detect a distant man observing fish in the ocean. |
| Magnetic Field Rotation — 820,000 horsepower | 419 | Explicitly reaches this realm. He now considers Mad Giant Shark more suitable for personal use than his longtime saber. |
Background / History
Life on Blue Star
Bai Mo’s family broke apart after his father’s affair and business failure. While still in middle school, he faced living with either a controlling mother or his father and the other woman; neither option allowed him to continue school. He instead chose independence, supporting himself through work while living in a small rented room 1.
His closest remaining family was Bozai, a stray cat he had adopted despite his poverty. Hong Kong comics were his main hobby. By the time the system approached him, exhaustion and isolation had left him unwilling to continue living; its offer of Electric Current Push nevertheless rekindled his interest in a future where he could support himself without starving 1 2.
Training and the Argonauts
Inside the training space, Great Saber subjected Bai Mo to prolonged blade practice before teaching him Avici Hell Blade. The training cultivated control rather than horsepower: his unfinished weapon suppressed his Magnetic Field Power while he developed Complete Realm. Before sending him away, Great Saber told him that Peerless Demon Blade required his own blade intent—a personal reason to swing 3.
In Greece, Athena directed him toward Jason, and he joined the Argo. His companions called him Bai Ermo and eventually became convinced that his electrical abilities and unknown origins made him a son of Zeus. This was their assumption, not his actual ancestry. Among the Argonauts, he found an unfamiliar sense of happiness and home 6 8 12 13.
He fought giants alongside Heracles, battled the venomous dragon, and became involved in Medea’s fate. Returning to Thessaly, he witnessed the consequences of Pelias’s exploitation and killed the king after discovering a poor woman’s child had died. The act left him troubled by how little killing alone had changed, and he urged Jason to govern his future subjects well 11 23 24 38.
His Greek journey ended with his departure toward twenty-first-century Fuyuki. He regretted leaving promises unfulfilled, including those involving Atalanta, Circe, and Heracles, but refused to abandon the future over irreversible events 45.
Fuyuki and the System’s Betrayal
Following further training with Oga, Bai Mo encountered the participants in Fuyuki’s Holy Grail War. He studied Diarmuid’s techniques during their duel and developed a friendship with Artoria, who regarded him as someone who understood her 48 52 53 68.
He later treated Kirie Fujou and regularly visited Shiki Ryougi during her recovery. When Giant Shark possessed Shiki, Bai Mo recognized that the intruding soul came from outside the world and lacked the death lines her Mystic Eyes normally targeted 92.
Bai Mo and Shiki ultimately defeated Giant Shark through shared perception. The system then revealed its intention to rewrite the world and kill its inhabitants. Refusing cooperation, Bai Mo used Magnetic Field Heavenly Lock on his own body before the system could exploit it, leaving its new occupant powerless 108.
Although stripped of Magnetic Field Power afterward, he retained Complete Realm and learned to manipulate magical energy. His eventual release from his perceived debt to the system allowed an older wish to resurface: correcting a world in which kind people suffered while abusers prospered 115 122.
Arcueid and the Moon
Bai Mo’s relationship with Arcueid drew him into conflict with Crimson Moon. On the moon, he abandoned a steadier approach when he sensed Arcueid weakening and used Asura Reincarnation to protect her. His second strike shattered the Real of the World and destroyed most of the moon, leaving a crescent 182.
He subsequently risked his body again while channeling power approaching 800,000 horsepower away from Arcueid. Asura regeneration sustained him while he simultaneously reconstructed her body into a vessel capable of bearing the power 187.
Uruk and the Sea of Imaginary Numbers
In Uruk, Bai Mo defended the city against demonic beasts while demonstrating power-control techniques to Arcueid and Ishtar. Although involved in state affairs, he deliberately avoided Gilgamesh’s throne because he did not want to undermine the city’s stability 205 210.
He later entered the Sea of Imaginary Numbers with Manaka, fought a Lahmu settlement, and confronted the Thirteenth Grand Protector. Against Enlil and the Protector together, he manipulated their attacks into striking one another before destroying the Protector’s body with Zen-shaking Samsara 244 271.
Physician and Teacher
During his stay in Kaizu Castle, Bai Mo treated ordinary people without charging them and sheltered injured child ninja. He refused to become a military physician whose work would simply return soldiers to killing, recognizing that medicine alone could not cure the era’s problems 308 310.
He encouraged Mochizuki Mo to study, use her knowledge, and pass it onward. When she sought help against her clan’s elders, he refused to give her power for a suicidal killing spree 331 346.
Preserving the Lostbelts
Bai Mo worked alongside Chaldea while seeking alternatives to the destruction of Lostbelt populations. In Russia, he endured the Fantasy Tree’s energy at near-fatal cost and later helped Anastasia consider temporary policies for stabilizing the nation rather than making her a permanent ruler 401 402 404.
In Scandinavia, he investigated Helheim, narrowly escaped a trap with Ortlinde’s help, and transferred the damaged Fantasy Tree’s power while the freed Aesir protected him. The Scandinavian Lostbelt survived its expected pruning 442 486 488.
His Indian journey included teaching Karna, exchanging skills with Rama with the Axe, and fighting Shiva during Kama’s trial. His experience with India’s gods also led him to accept divine participation under conditions, distinguishing them from the Greek gods he opposed 646 707 754.
Britain and Cernunnos
Despite the strain of successive battles, Bai Mo continued training before entering the next Lostbelt because Morgan could not wait. In Britain, he used his developed rune knowledge and Enki’s purification authority to produce curse-cleansing water 760 767.
He obtained fairy-soul analysis spells from Abigail and passed them to Morgan to help prepare an antidote for Baobhan Sith. Later, Morgan opened Cernunnos’s skull with her Holy Lance so Bai Mo could enter, suppress regeneration, and investigate the curses within 794 843.
Appearance
- Exceptional looks: His appearance is described as outstanding even by Greek standards of beauty 13.
- Softer build and features: Masculine by modern standards, but comparatively delicate beside the rugged figures of Age of Gods Greece 31.
- Longer hair during the Greek journey: He rarely cut it after arriving, contributing to the softer impression Circe noticed while he was injured 31.
- Habitually stern expression: Training left him icy and unsmiling; life aboard the Argo gradually made him more expressive 13.
Personality
Bai Mo is guarded, self-critical, and intensely persistent. Early failures repeatedly tempt him to give up, but he returns to training and seeks alternative methods when horsepower alone will not advance. His tendency to compare himself with legendary Magnetic Field powerhouses makes him underestimate his own accomplishments 3 11 27.
He values personal autonomy more than supremacy. He rejects the idea that gods or rulers should dictate human lives, dislikes reflexive kneeling, and tells the people he saves that he does not need their allegiance. Despite his pursuit of strength, domination is not his goal 76 331 402.
His compassion has boundaries. He is reluctant to take human lives casually, even when that restraint endangers him, but he will kill tyrants and dangerous enemies. His medical work likewise prioritizes civilians rather than indiscriminately serving anyone who might perpetuate a war 31 38 310.
Responsibility becomes his central reason to survive. He names his master, companions, and Arcueid among the people he cannot abandon. That same sense of duty can make him overwork and overlook those supporting him—a failing he later condemns in himself 412 596 760.
Though usually restrained, he genuinely enjoys demanding combat. Intelligent opponents excite him because they offer opportunities to test his skill and improve; this enthusiasm does not erase his judgment about the danger they pose to others 23 78.
Abilities & Skills
Magnetic Field Power and Complete Realm
Bai Mo combines raw Magnetic Field Power with unusually refined control over its application 23 52.
- Efficiency and precision: Can transmit destructive force through a target while sparing something adjacent, and compete with a Heroic Spirit’s body while using ordinary-person strength 27 52.
- Protective power: His passive reinforcement can make his flesh extremely difficult to penetrate unless he deliberately withdraws it 53 78.
- Matter reconstruction: At sufficiently high horsepower and control, can transform ice into fire, air into earth and stone, or rocks into water 429 767.
- Limits: Superior Complete Realm does not erase every horsepower gap. Ke Bao warns that he cannot directly clash with opponents above 970,000 horsepower at that point in his development 363.
- Total destruction risk: Spatial turbulence capable of erasing every cell could kill him 256.
Avici Hell Blade
Great Saber’s blade art forms the foundation of Bai Mo’s early combat training 3.
- Eighteen Levels of Hell: Cuts through the tsunami used as his final training test and later attacks coordinated Lahmu waves 3 244.
- Peerless Demon Blade: Requires personal blade intent; Bai Mo later executes it through converging Magnetic Field Heavenly Blades 3 179.
- Selfless Demon Blade: Its stated conventional requirements include the selfless realm, life-force expenditure, and at least 500,000 horsepower. Bai Mo’s later training review identifies it as a central offensive method during his lower-power period 45 329.
- Blades of Hell: Slows Cernunnos’s regeneration while Bai Mo moves through the corpse 843.
Whale-Style Martial Arts
Bai Mo learns Whale-Style techniques under Oga and later develops their application further 48.
- Orca Tyrant Fist: Used against Giant Shark, Crimson Moon, and Zhang Xianzhong 108 179 542.
- Orca Heaven and Earth Way: Combines with Asura Reincarnation for his strongest rapid-kill approach 182 329.
- Whale Dominates the World: Uses the surrounding environment as successive springboards for high-speed movement 621.
Asura Way and Ryougi Lataib
Bai Mo’s Asura techniques support regeneration, force manipulation, and sustained combat 187 247 329.
- Ryougi Lataib: Circulates power through a yin-yang vortex, neutralizing force injected into his body 247.
- Power recovery: Can forcibly reclaim his own power when an external mechanism attempts to drain it 810.
- Dark Reincarnation: Redirects an opponent’s offensive force, as demonstrated against Xiang Yu 528.
- Regeneration and life-force transfer: Rebuilds damaged flesh and passes vitality to others 187 810.
- Asura Reincarnation: Burns lifespan for extraordinary power; against Crimson Moon, he budgets five years per strike 182.
- Hell God of War: Supports prolonged combat when paired with Ryougi Lataib and Dark Reincarnation, but has high consumption 329.
Sealing and Restraint
Bai Mo develops binding techniques as an alternative to purely destructive attacks 607.
- Magnetic Field Heavenly Lock: Seals his own body to prevent the system from using its power 108.
- Ryougi Heaven-Imprisoning Enkidu: Envelops both Kama and Bai Mo on contact. He later needs Shiki’s guidance to undo it 621 632.
- Nine Heavens Samsara Lock: Used alongside Hell Samsara Sword to cripple Landao Tianwu’s heart 486.
- Development principle: He chooses Heavenly Lock research after recognizing that his interpretation of the final step of Complete Realm, Ryougi Lataib, has no killing power 607.
Martial Analysis and Technique Creation
Bai Mo studies an opponent’s principles rather than merely copying their visible movements 52 129.
- Rapid comprehension: Absorbs much of Diarmuid’s lifetime spear knowledge during their exchange 52 53.
- Human martial arts: Studies Bajiquan, Wing Chun, Shaolin Fist, and Xingyiquan with Tiandao; remains a grandmaster without Magnetic Field Power 231.
- Derived techniques: Reconstructs Sky Explosive Fist through Final Realm understanding 129.
- Hell War Armor: Develops additional muscle for offense and defense without exposing his internal organs when that muscle is destroyed 607.
- Archery: Quickly masters Rama with the Axe’s teaching and demonstrates arrows that become suns 646.
Magecraft and Runes
Bai Mo transfers his experience with power control to magecraft, initially using magical energy through Complete Realm after losing Magnetic Field Power 115.
- Rune education: Begins with Touko’s basic runes, then advances through the Well of Wisdom and instruction from Skadi and Ortlinde 767.
- Raven Runes: Creates bird-shaped runes that direct data using memory-erasing knowledge taught by Abigail 591.
- Purification: Uses Magnetic Field Power as a foundation for Enki’s curse-cleansing authority 767.
- Weapon enhancement: Empowers Laevateinn with runes and Magnetic Field Power to form a giant flaming warrior against Shiva’s avatar 707.
Healing and Medicine
Bai Mo combines direct power manipulation with practical medical work 92 310.
- Tumor removal: Removes tumors throughout Kirie Fujou’s body and restores her health 92.
- Wound treatment: Uses water mist and Electric Current Push to heal injuries and relieve exhaustion 308.
- Foreign-object removal: Extracts and destroys a damaged Dream Creator controlling a winged girl 417.
- Teaching: Treats medical knowledge as something students should use and pass down, rather than making communities permanently dependent on him 346.
Perception, Mind Reading, and Souls
Bai Mo can read thoughts and memories, perceive distant activity, and manipulate souls under appropriate conditions 60 176 417 442.
- Selective use: Often avoids mind reading out of respect for other people’s secrets, despite using it against hostile figures 176 522.
- Shared perception: Combines vision with Shiki’s death perception to strike Giant Shark’s vulnerable Line of Death 108.
- Soul interrogation: Uses Helheim’s authority to tear apart the giant serpent’s soul and absorb memory fragments 442.
- Outsider nature: Neither his body nor soul belongs to the world, making Arcueid’s Event Storage targeting almost ineffective against him 187.
