"If you want to save the world, I'll slay the gods. If you want to lock me up, go ahead and see who goes insane first."
As the wildest scavenger on a trash planet, Jiang Jin lives by two rules:
1. If a beast core can be sold for money, bite into it.
2. If a beauty can be useful, trick them.
Then she sold the mechanical eye of Beidou Military Academy's top student as scrap metal, only for him to press a greatsword to her throat.
Xie Zhaoheng's sword sliced open her bloodstained collar, and his ice-blue eyes reflected the eerily beautiful beast core embedded between her collarbones. "Devourer, what's your corruption level?"
Jiang Jin flashed her sharp teeth. "I'm still human. For now, anyway."

When the insect queen's psychic waves tore through the arena, Jiang Jin finally remembered:
What they called gene fusion was nothing but a crude imitation of the insect civilization, stolen by humanity.
And embedded in her collarbone was the original insect queen's core, soaked in blood and tears.
When Xie Zhaoheng's sword pierced her heart, the Beidou family head burst into hysterical laughter:
"A perfect creation should destroy defective specimens!"
But Xie Zhaoheng trembled as he cut open his own chest, letting his star marrow merge with the fragments of the beast core.
"Now I'm your 101% corruption level."
"My dear commander."
"Do you dare to bet all of humanity on my staying sane?"
