I am the magnetic field maniac

Ziyuan Xianyi nodded hastily to the two of them, but now was obviously not the time to reminisce about the past. He looked at Tendou Kikunojo and hurriedly told him the bad news...

"Zodiac Scorpio is now approaching Tokyo!!"

16. The Devil is Raging

Stage V gastrula, named after the twelve zodiac signs, are considered the cause of humanity's downfall.

Although such nonsense remarks were like insulting the human military strength over and over again, they were still recognized by all the survivors.

But then again, some creatures in the zodiac do have extremely destructive power.

The most "nonsense" one among them is the Sagittarius zodiac... because in the external propaganda, this is a zodiac monster that has the ability to accurately bombard all satellites in low-Earth orbit from the surface...

And it was it that once destroyed all of humanity's precision-guided weapons and air power.

All I can say is that, putting aside the nonsense, it is possible to calculate complex data such as the curvature of the earth and the gravity of the planet and then accurately turn the surface to bombard all satellites with great computing power... If each of the monsters in the zodiac has characteristics that are superior to humans in some aspect, then there may really be a possibility of destroying humanity.

For example, a certain zodiac monster can make all neutrons in the range inert and render nuclear bombs ineffective...

Another example is a zodiac monster that has its own EMP release feature that can destroy all precision components within range.

But two of the zodiac beasts that were boasted to be so powerful had actually been defeated.

Not counting the Scorpio that was about to be blown to pieces by an unknown electromagnetic cannon, it was once known as the strongest zodiac...

Taurus, and Virgo, the second-largest sign after it, which had a large army of gastrulae from land, sea and air to protect them, are now dead.

And the ones who killed them were just "police officers".

This is such a fucking mess, a behemoth capable of destroying human civilization was crushed by two ordinary people who were at most modified. Even with the support and assistance of the army, this matter is still fucking ridiculous to the extreme.

So with a little bit of logic, we can infer that this so-called doomsday is most likely the result of human internal strife and backstabbing, which is then beautified... Heh, but such a statement is fucking nonsense! !

So, in Bai Wujie's eyes, the human civilization of this world is full of nonsense!

The dark night sky loomed down, and layers of black clouds brought immense pressure and darkness to the entire city.

On the top floor of Lanmeng Building, Bai Wujie shook his wine glass and looked down at the fleeing crowd below and the military and police who had given up on blocking the place and were going to maintain order, and raised his glass with a smile.

He thought he could keep the secret, but the news of Scorpio's arrival was eventually exposed.

As a result, a series of riots broke out among citizens in the entire Tokyo area... but although they were suppressed, the chaos had already spread.

Most people were watching the live broadcast in front of their small screens at home, waiting for the results...

Waving their fists, they cheered for the helicopter flying across the sky and the police officers carrying weapons.

After all, no matter how much they cursed the government, they could only rely on the strength of these police officers and soldiers at this moment.

"I'm really looking forward to the performance of the clowns." Bai Wujie raised his head and drank a glass of red wine, then stood up and said to Uncle Cai behind him...

"Uncle Cai, you should just hide in the underground base and wait. I want to go to the scene to see how big a surprise the so-called Scorpio can give me."

"Yes, leader." Song Qi bowed his head slightly and said...

"But please pay attention to your own safety."

"Ha! Are you worried about me? If there really is something in this world that can kill me, then maybe I would be even happier." Bai Wujie grinned, revealing his sharp shark teeth.

The next moment, his figure disappeared here, passed through the thick and dark clouds, and quickly went to area 39.

There, within the range where the giant stone tablet stood, the huge monster was already approaching.

Zodiac: Scorpio

A giant amorphous creature about 400 meters tall, it looks like wriggling mucus, but when it walks, it reveals part of the human figure.

And outside the flesh is a densely packed dark and solid stratum corneum, and countless scarlet and deadly eyes!

Bai Wujie whistled softly, and the magic dragon behind his hair cautiously poked its head out. Looking at such a huge creature, it seemed to shrank back in fear.

Just from the appearance, it is really quite intimidating.

But seriously, wouldn't a behemoth of more than 400 meters in height collapse under gravity due to its own weight? Or, how does it control such a weight and not fall in the soft ground?

Could it be that it is an inflatable doll, or just a large mass of liquid?

Bai Wujie didn't know, but he was enjoying this scene leisurely and happily.

"Om..."

The voice of Scorpio sounds like a drawn-out whistle, like the long wail of a dying whale.

Its route was very clear, it was towards the relic of the Seven Stars, the child's bicycle that belonged to her.

Bai Wujie narrowed his eyes, because even though the Scorpio in front of him had essentially lost his self-awareness...

However, some fragments of memory still reached Bai Wujie's mind through his scattered and overflowing thoughts.

Without exception, they are not good memories. They are just the result of human beings' own stupidity, arrogance and ignorance.

Before Scorpio could move forward, the arriving police and the Ministry of Defense's troops had already started exchanging fire.

However, the sparks from their fragile weapons could only create a few indistinguishable sparks in the structure that was like a dark sea, and in reality, the targets they were fighting against were the gastrula creatures under Scorpio's feet.

Clustered around Scorpio, these gastrula creatures broke through the suppression of the monolith and rushed towards Tokyo. Their appearance, which was a fusion of various creatures, was like an abstract monster in a Picasso painting, swarming towards them with flesh and mucus rubbing against each other.

"Damn it, Yutsuki, do you still have metal bullets?!"

After emptying all the magazines of his weapon, Katagiri Tamaki only had a short knife left for self-defense. He looked at the army of gastrula creatures that were overwhelming like an ocean, and said to his sister beside him...

"That's it! Stupid brother, we should retreat!"

A golden twin-tailed girl who shoots invisible silk from her fingers responded loudly.

This battle undoubtedly mobilized all the operational civilian security companies in Tokyo... and the Katagiri siblings, who were Rentaro's friends and only ranked 1000th on the IP list, were also recruited.

The main force in this battle is not these police officers. To be honest... except for special personnel with IP ranking above 100, the combat effectiveness of these police officers is not much stronger than that of regular soldiers.

It's time to retreat and resupply. Thinking of this, Katagiri Tamaki cut open the head of a Stage 1 that was rushing towards him with a knife, and prepared to retreat with his sister.

however……

"Ah!! What is that thing? Don't come near me!"

"Monster, why doesn't it work?!"

Screams and wailing sounds continued to come from the flanks. Katagiri Tamaki stroked his golden hair that was stained with rain and blood, and his eyes under the brown sunglasses saw an incredible scene.

A "proto-gastruloid" is killing people in the Ministry of Defense's army.

It was a snake-like monster with an alien head, a pitch-black shell and scarlet lines.

It seemed to be only a few meters in size and no more than the level of stage two, but -

It was like a wolf among a flock of sheep, slaughtering endlessly among the soldiers of the Ministry of Defense.

The soldiers screamed, because they pulled the trigger and the metal bullets shot out from the muzzles, hitting the black armor with only a few sparks. Some bullets even "bounced" back out of thin air.

Even if it was lucky enough to hit, the iron metal that should have killed the gastrula instantly would have no effect on this monster!

This is absolutely nightmare news.

The reason why humans can fight against enterotoxins is almost entirely due to the presence of metal...

This is because the incredible recovery ability of the protogastric organisms is almost impossible to destroy by any non-super heavy weapons.

In the first stage, the cursed child can recover from most injuries except for broken limbs like a normal cursed child. In the second stage, the cursed child can recover from broken limbs easily...but the recovery time in these two stages is relatively long, and the cursed child can be killed with light weapons.

However, by the time it reaches stage three, the gastrula's ability to recover has already gone beyond the scope of "science".

Broken limbs can be easily grown back in a very short time just by contact, and there are almost no real weaknesses.

The body shape and appearance of the gastrula in the third stage have almost completely gotten rid of the original posture of imitating a certain animal, and it is more like a patchwork monster mixed with multiple creatures.

The fourth stage protogastric organisms have recovery capabilities that can be described as fantasy novel level.

Even if he was beaten into a pulp or cut into hundreds of pieces, he would not die. He no longer had any weaknesses, and his nerve structures were spread all over his body like the diffuse neural network of coelenterates...

However, there is no signal processing center in the conventional sense, but it can continue to be active, which in itself is beyond the scope of understanding of conventional biology.

The protogastric organisms in the fourth stage have reached the point where they cannot be killed by any conventional means except for continuous attacks with large-yield weapons...

This may also be the reason why humans were defeated by gastrula before they fully discovered metal.

It is worth mentioning that the stage level and regeneration level are relatively independent, and not every stage four has the fourth level of regeneration ability.

Similarly, it is possible that low-level protogastric organisms will also acquire extraordinary regenerative abilities due to their genes.

The zodiac in the fifth stage is completely beyond human cognition. Because no matter what, each of them has a fifth-level regeneration ability that is beyond understanding.

There is no need to inject extremely high-purity iron metal into the body to destroy the magnetic field. Only the minimum amount is needed to achieve crazy regeneration.

The speed at which they recover makes you wonder if the law of conservation of mass has eaten them up completely.

To sum up, once the protogastric organisms acquire the ability to no longer be afraid of metal.

Then there is no doubt that mankind will move towards uncontrollable "destruction".

That strange "gastrula" easily slaughtered through the Defense Ministry's troops like a wolf slaughtering a flock of sheep... and the collapse of this line of defense brought about a horrific chain reaction.

More and more gastrula creatures began to break through the defense line and kill, and more police officers were faced with the dilemma of being passively attacked. As for Katagiri Tamaki -

They were facing the worst possible scenario.

"Roar!"

The black monster that had killed almost all the soldiers from the Ministry of Defense howled and pounced on the remaining police officers...

No matter what their IP ranking is, they can't show any strength in front of this monster!

Burning rockets, precious laser weapons, miniaturized electromagnetic weapons, these things have almost no effect on this monster.

Most of the attacks couldn't even touch the monster's body, but were directly shattered and destroyed by the invisible magnetic field around the monster.

The only person who succeeded in harming this monster was a policeman who had purchased the Lei Xie Sword sold by the now notorious Lan Meng Company through a channel in advance.

However, that damage was just a drop in the bucket.

The beam of light shot out from the Lei Xie Sword tore through the monster's magnetic field, but only left a scar on its solid body.

And this attack only angered it.

The black monster opened its bloody mouth, and a dazzling beam of light gathered in its mouth. Just like in the old monster movies, unscientific energy attacks gathered in its mouth.

boom!

A dazzling beam of light swept across the battlefield, followed by violent shocks and explosions.

Katagiri Tamaki immediately hugged his sister and rolled to the side. After the earth-shaking that made him dizzy, he opened his eyes with difficulty.

What came into view was a pitch-black gully that was about a hundred meters long and swept across the battlefield. The scorching hot molten light was even rolling on the surrounding soil.

Within the range, whether it was the police officers, soldiers, armored vehicles, or even transport planes in the sky, they were all directly destroyed by this horrific shot.

This thing might not be a gastrula, but perhaps it is some kind of "monster" that is beyond understanding and cognition!

Katagiri Tamaki's upper and lower teeth were trembling, and the terrifying black monster seemed to have noticed him.

The bloody mouth opened, and the alien-like head revealed a grinning posture.

Desperate, he felt no chance of survival. He let go of his sister, took a deep breath, pushed her out, picked up the knife and walked forward...

"Gong Yue, run as fast as you can and leave here. Listen to me and don't look back!!"

Speaking firmly and unquestionably, Katagiri Tamaki overcame all the fear in his heart.

Because he wanted to buy his sister a chance to escape from hell for even a second.

He himself couldn't escape, but his sister, who was stronger than him, would definitely be able to escape from this dangerous place.

He probably only deserved to eat for one second. Laughing at himself, Katagiri Tamaki turned away from his tearful sister and rushed towards the black monster.

For a moment, he couldn't even see the other party's move, and the weapon in his hand was directly knocked away. Then, he only saw a desperate black shadow.

And at this moment.

Mixed with the flashing arcs and accompanied by a tearing roar, a figure kicked heavily on the monster's head.

17. Non-Human

White light, waking up from the coma and weakness of anesthesia.

Rentaro had an almost PTSD-like fear of such things. The large number of not-so-nice memories in his mind made him break out in a cold sweat, and then he woke up immediately.
