    This book is very good. It combines game elements, a war god, a system, and invincibility. The protagonist is both the enemy of the world and the world's overlord.

    With guns and men, and obedience! Others' supplies are mine; with an army, what's there to fear about food? Therefore, Ye Huan pondered for a moment, then said, "I choose an incomparably loyal doomsday legion!" [Ding, congratulations to the host for making a choice!] [Rewards will be distributed below!] [Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the Supreme Leader Module+!] Sure enough, as he made his choice, the system notification sounded again. A mysterious module resembling a matrix appeared out of thin air and landed in his hand, followed by another notification. [Item Name: Leader Module!] [Can be activated on any mechanical intelligent entity, granting an incomparably powerful mechanical life form legion!] [Daily limit: 1] [Refreshes at midnight the next day!] ... Hmm? Seeing the mysterious metal matrix in his hand, Ye Huan was stunned. He had originally thought that making this choice would grant him a loyal guard of hundreds or even thousands of people. Even if he encountered his neighbors, or even if all the zombies in the neighborhood attacked him at once, he would have the ability to protect himself! But now, he was given a Leader Module? And it looks somewhat familiar. "System, what is this!"
