Ascension Through Flesh and Blood: I Rebuilt Myself into a Forbidden Machine

Also known as Quantum Tyrant: My Mecha Devours the Heavens

When Lu Chen dragged a rusted mech out of a heap of scrap in a junkyard, he thought it was just another stepping stone in the black-market arena.

Then a mechanical woman's voice, carrying the echo of a civilization a thousand years old, came from the cockpit:

“Neural synchronization at 97%. Human, are you ready to slay a god?”

In the shadow of New Tokyo's three-thousand-story vertical city, three megacorporations divide the sky from the mire with nanoshields.

Mech hunters in the slums wager their limbs for a chance at tomorrow, while the quantum cannons of the boardrooms in the clouds take aim at the insignificant masses.

And now, Lu Chen's battered iron shell is devouring the top-tier mech core of Apocalypse Heavy Industries, its crimson paint spreading like blood. A greatsword tears through an antimatter shield; a particle blade pierces Deep Blue Power's firmament. As White Night's nanobots become a flood of data and drown Night Owl Tech's golden eyes, they finally see the ancient-world maxim hidden in the mech's wreckage:

“All gods were once trophies claimed by godslayers.”

A cybernetic madman dances with an awakened AI. Quantum leaps sever the chains of capital. This time, he will make the steel firmament hear the roar of rusted bones.
