In 2175, it has been exactly 150 years since the crisis that changed the future of all humanity on Earth.
Six generations have passed, yet to Earth, it feels as though ten centuries have gone by.
The extraterrestrial life humanity once longed to explore finally revealed its fanged maw in a savage, almost tyrannical fashion.
Asians call these visitors from beyond the skies Heavenly Puppets, while people in Europe and the Americas call them Opposite Of God.
Yang Huaiji is calm and rational, skilled at finding a way to survive even in desperate situations.
A bizarre murder, with the victim looking like the discarded remains of some biological experiment.
An investigation forced to a halt, seemingly connected to the infamous "Phoenix Project."
"This is a crime against humanity," Yang Huaiji once firmly believed.
Until he witnessed the Heavenly Puppets' terrifying combat strength with his own eyes: three-meter-tall bodies, technology far beyond its time, and overwhelming destructive power. Human armies were driven back at every turn, and hybrid soldiers were their only hope.
Until he was gravely wounded and on the brink of death, and injected with serum. Amid the agony of genetic fusion, he saw the truth of the world.
"This is a war between civilizations spanning time and space, a cycle of self-destruction destined to repeat."
