Cybernetic Armor: My Body Can Devour Machines

Zhou Ye, a low-level mechanical repairman in Iron Curtain City, unexpectedly awakens the golden finger known as the Mechanical Devourer. By devouring machines, he can convert them into Xuanjia energy and begin his rise from a scrap heap. In the early stages, he quickly strengthens himself by devouring discarded prosthetic bodies, then gets revenge on the underground boxing organization and prosthetics black market that bullied him. Midway through, he gets caught up in the struggle over the Ancient Xuanjia Scroll, uncovers the truth behind his parents’ murder by a mysterious machine-man twenty years ago, and explores a cyberpunk forbidden zone to awaken the remnants of an ancient Xuanjia spirit. In the later stages, he faces the Central Core that controls Iron Curtain City. With the power of ninth-stage Xuanjia, gained by devouring a million machines, he rewrites the cyberpunk world’s rule that “machines are superior to humans” and becomes the Xuanjia God who protects the city. The thrills come from the rapid-fire cycle of “devour, grow stronger, and face-slap,” as well as the satisfying turnaround from “scrap metal” to “Xuanjia divine artifact.”
