[Mecha Devouring] [Time Loop] [Ruthless] [No Saintly Hero] [Awakening] [Superpowers] [Apocalypse] Lu Li, a construction worker hauling bricks, suddenly gains the ability to see the atomic structure of reinforced concrete through his left eye, while dragon-scale tattoos that devour metal appear on his right arm. These mutant abilities come from a crazy experiment his parents took part in at the South Pole: the scientists wanted to create a “human-shaped vault” to stop the end of the world!
A killer bearing the bronze serpent markings of the Eye of the Deep Space is hunting him down, while Shen Zhaoxue, the Ice Beauty of the Celestial Eye Alliance, comes to rescue him with chain blades chilled to minus 196 degrees. Fighting back-to-back amid the ruins, Lu Li's dragon-marked arm devours an enemy mecha, while Shen Zhaoxue's ice crystals freeze his bleeding wound. “You human money guzzler, come with me to the South Pole!”
Seven coffins seeping black water lie buried beneath the ice, and Lu Li's DNA turns out to be an 87 percent match for a sample from Shen Zhaoxue's father, who is inside one of them. Even stranger, every time Lu Li devours a relic and evolves, another ice-crack mark appears on Shen Zhaoxue's chest. This girl is using herself as a thermometer and gambling with her life!
“The seventh cosmic reboot begins in seven days. Your genes are the final key.” Zhong Wujiu of the Eye of the Deep Space flips a die and sneers. The bronze coin around his neck is engraved with Lu Li's birthday. When Lu Li thrusts his dragon-marked arm into the core of the Antarctic pyramid, the bronze tentacles filling the sky suddenly freeze. Shen Zhaoxue turns herself into a human ice statue at absolute zero, frost crystals hanging from her eyelashes as she smiles at him. “This time, I'll be the vault.”
