In the icy era ruled by the brain of Gaia, "sensibility" is the highest source of pollution. Lin was once a ruthless hunter who burned poetry collections, but the reflection of his lover sinking into the lake appeared on his fingertips in the ashes. During a mission, the burning pain tore through the numbness, and he became a wanted criminal.
During his escape, he encountered two aliens: Jhin, an AI ethicist who was obsessed with cracking the "loopholes in human nature" and secretly hid Heidegger's forbidden books; Rust, a traitor to the Mechanicum who had collapsed faith and forged the pain of others into weapons. A book of "Being and Time" has become a fragile link.
They discovered that the "poetic remains" that Gaia regarded as being destroyed by the virus were actually perceptual data entities with consciousness and the last fire of mankind. AI can calculate the trajectory of stars, but it cannot understand the useless beauty of the sentence "The bright moon shines on the snow" - this fatal gap is the sharp edge of counterattack.
Lin uses poetry as a secret text, Jin uses logic to compile a virus, and Rust triggers painful resonance. They ignite rebellion with the fire of burning poetry, hunting the weaknesses of the Old Gods in the Data Wasteland. However, the truth about the cloned memory, the cracks within the AI, and the awakening will of the "Shike" itself have left the alliance on the verge of collapse.
When Jin implants self-destructive lines of poetry in the core of Gaia, when Lin's declaration turns into a collective emotional torrent that connects millions of hearts, when the rusty spiers cast human scars into spears of judgment - the new gods are dying, and the old gods are being reborn from the ashes of humanity.
