This Really Isn’t Mechanical Ascension

As soon as Li Ming opened his eyes, he found himself thrown into a chaotic interstellar age—where countless civilizations brandished their weapons, eyeing everything in the universe like hungry predators.

And his most urgent concern at the moment? Finding food.

Fortunately, he possessed the ability to control special artifacts and gain enhanced abilities from them—

[Thunderstrike Power Armor – Class D]

Control Effect: Strength Boost 100%

Controlled Ability – Armored Quad Arms: Generates four mechanical limbs to assist in combat, with an additional 50% boost in lightning element control.

And that wasn’t all—he could even evolve them—

[Electromagnetic Power Engine] → [Cold Fusion Reactor] → … → [Stellar Furnace]

An infinite path of evolution, an ultimate armory spanning galaxies, and a colossal expedition fleet forging a universe of fire and blood.

When Li Ming unfurled prismatic wings large enough to shroud entire planets, when he fired photon lasers in devastating beyond-visual-range strikes, when the Stellar Furnace in his chest radiated a brilliance far surpassing the sun, and when the ultra-micro photon computer provided unparalleled computational power…

Across the cosmos, countless beings chanted in awe—

“Flesh is weak! Ascension through machinery!”

Li Ming, exasperated: “…But this isn’t mechanical ascension.”
