Mechanical Ascension, Protected by Trash Talk is a lighthearted power fantasy set at the peak of mechanical civilization. Chen Xiao Mo is an unemployed shut-in, socially awkward in real life but a formidable trash-talker online. When an alien UFO arrives and nanobots begin cleansing humanity, he unexpectedly gains a trash-talk shield: the harsher his insults, the stronger his defense, and he can even interfere with his enemies. With this ability, he can take on alien machines head-on. While everyone else struggles to survive the apocalypse, he can save souls with ease. In the end, he is sure to lead everyone to victory over the crisis and usher in a beautiful future in a nonhuman paradise.
