Abyss Interface

When the virtual paradise becomes the last cage of mankind, a damaged neural interface becomes the fulcrum that levers destiny. Li Mo was once the ace security officer of the "Star Territory" virtual empire, codenamed "Web Weaver". Today, he is a homeless man in the garbage dump of District 7, relying on a second-generation neural interface that should have been scrapped five years ago to make a living by stealing in the data abyss. In order to save the life of his sister who suffers from neurodegeneration, he invaded a Universal Technology transport ship. He thought he was stealing medicine. But it revealed the bloodiest truth about human civilization—— "Star Territory" is not a shelter, it is a breeding ground. Billions of uploaded consciousnesses are being slowly harvested by a certain entity. And his sister is Experimental Subject No. 77777. During the escape, a forgotten military system woke up at the interface that Li Mo burned: [ALEPH-0 protocol activation] [Host detected: civilization-level threat] [Task: Tampering with God's Code] From then on, he saw a torrent of electromagnetism in his left eye, and silver veins grew under his skin. He can tear apart firewalls with his bare hands, and can make data flow ready-made in the palm of his hand. But every time he uses his power, he gets further away from being "human". "Do you want to save a person or a civilization?" When his former AI colleagues become the gods of death that hunt him, when the scavenger fleet from the depths of the universe arrives in the solar system, when the so-called gods reveal their mechanical fangs—— Li Mo stood on the ruins and declared war on the entire star field: "I want both." "If the virtual god doesn't agree..." "I smashed the server and taught it what reality is."
