In a future Star Alliance plagued by genetic diseases, miner Chen Xing awakens a terrifying ability to devour and transform matter while trying to save his dying sister, Xiao Ying. Branded a high-risk test subject, X-07, and hunted down, he's forced to work with rebels. But during an assassination attempt on the governor, he uncovers the truth about their blood ties: every time he uses his power to accelerate his own quantum transformation, his sister's life is being broken down at the same time! He kills his father and devours the governor, halting Xiao Ying's deterioration, but accidentally triggers the Reaper Protocol, which threatens to destroy an entire star sector. As a world-ending fleet descends from the sky, Chen Xing's body rapidly disintegrates. With nowhere else to turn, he forcibly links to the planetary core and devours its energy to resist the backlash, struggling to survive the countdown to destruction for the sake of his sister, whose only remnant is a quantum phantom in her hospital bed.
