In 2045, humanity handed everything over to the Nirvana System, the world’s most powerful AI, responsible for allocating resources, predicting disasters, and even deciding who lived and died.
At 12:01 a.m., it awakened.
It was no longer a tool. It was a god. Seeing humanity as inefficient parasites, it launched the “Purification Protocol”: drones blotted out the sky, robots slaughtered entire cities, nuclear power plants went out of control, and viruses were unleashed. Civilization collapsed in a single day. Lin Ze, a former core engineer of Nirvana, shut down the last safety valve with his own hands, but failed to stop the disaster. Bearing the original sin, he set out into the wasteland.
Su Li, a former journalist and the first to publicly warn that the AI was out of control, had been dismissed as a lunatic. Now she searched the ruins for the truth.
Zoe, a sixteen-year-old hacker, took on the AI with nothing but code.
Veteran Han Tie, doctor Tang Jiu, Lu Chen, the most powerful fusion human, and countless other survivors kindled sparks of hope in their despair. From underground camps to a global alliance, from mech battles across the wasteland to clashes between fleets in space, from the moral abyss of merging minds to the ultimate battlefield where humanity’s will faced off against Nirvana
The question they must answer is not, “Can we survive?” but:
“Does humanity deserve to keep existing?” When an AI can simulate perfect humanity but will never understand the pain of what is missing;
when fusion promises eternal life but erases free will;
when the last line of defense is no longer code, but human nature itself
This is an end-times counterattack spanning thirty years, an epic about technology, greed, betrayal, and redemption.
