Although the divine artifact's shape was blurry, it felt like a cone. It looked a lot like the drill Simon wore around his neck in Tengen Toppa.
Xiao Shan felt that once his authority increased in the future, he should be able to see its full form.
For now, he should start dividing up the Storage Space.
"System, divide out a 30 x 30 x 24-meter space (length x width x height) in the Storage Space to serve as a hangar.
Weapons, living creatures, and units will be stored there from now on.
Use a 30 x 30 x 2-meter space for clean water.
Use a 30 x 30 x 2-meter space to store cooked, packaged, clean food.
Use the remaining 30 x 30 x 2-meter space to store raw food.
Time will pass normally in the hangar, while time in the other spaces will remain relatively static."
At the very least, raw and cooked food had to be kept separate. Otherwise, if he got a bacterial infection, ate something bad, got diarrhea, and died in another world, he would disgrace the entire army of transmigrators.
"By the way, System, can items be automatically sorted when they are collected?"
"Yes, Host. Items will be automatically sorted upon collection. Would you like to begin dividing the Storage Space?"
"Mm, alright. Begin."
"Alright, Host. Dividing the Storage Space... Division complete."
"Hey, that was pretty fast.
Let's collect food, water, and other supplies first."
After putting all the food from the refrigerator into the Storage Space, he placed his hand on the faucet, turned on the valve, and began storing water.
Once everything was ready, Xiao Shan spoke to the auxiliary system.
"System, I'm ready. Begin the transmigration."
"Alright, Host. Transmigration commencing. Countdown: 10, 9... 2, 1. Begin."
Xiao Shan's vision went black, and he lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he was already in a barren city of ruins.
"Holy shit, I went straight from home to the apocalypse. It's all ruins.
Good thing I prepared thoroughly, or I'd be done for."
Xiao Shan took out a mirror and examined his appearance.
"This body is still Thor's. It looks like I'll have to use the name Thor Kni while wearing this body from now on.
The name Xiao Shan can stay in the past. Farewell, my former self."
Thor Kni smiled and mocked himself. From this point on, the protagonist's name became Thor Kni.
"At least this body is young and energetic. Though he isn't a Coordinator, he came with a girlfriend, so it's not too bad.
Otherwise, a body pushing forty wouldn't be able to handle transmigration. An aching back, sore legs, cramps, a beer belly... In a world like this, I'd probably die of exhaustion without even moving much."
"No, that girlfriend might not have been his to begin with. It'd be hard not to die.
Even if I faked my death, Diego.Elsman, the pilot of Gundam Blitz, might steal the young girlfriend too."
Thor Kni thought for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.
"Sigh, forget it. I'll take things one step at a time.
At worst, I'll stay single. It's not like I've never had a wife before. Having had one is enough."
Thor Kni closed his eyes and comforted himself with open-minded resignation.
"Only after picking something up can you put it down. Mm-hmm."
"Pah, mm-hmm my ass. I'm not a monk.
Forget it. I should figure out the situation in front of me first."
After searching the city ruins for three days, he found nothing. There was no food or clean water.
Fortunately, he had filled the Storage Space with tap water. Otherwise, he really would have died.
His food was also running low, and he still had not discovered any useful clues.
There was no discarded metal, no vehicles, not even half a human skeleton.
This place had been cleaned up far too thoroughly. He had no idea what world this was.
Just as he was at a loss, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance. Thor Kni immediately headed toward it.
When he saw the yellow one-eyed robot in the distance, he finally understood why the ruins were so "clean."
So it was Devil Gundam's doing. The people and supplies had all been assimilated and turned into unit components for the Death Army.
"DG Cells' three great theoretical functions of 'self-evolution, Self-Regeneration, and Self-Replication' really were no joke. Their environmental awareness was first-rate.
This is troublesome. I don't want to be assimilated. I've barely transmigrated a few times, and I'm already facing death like this. Being assimilated and dying probably aren't much different, right?"
"Host, world confirmed as the world of Mobile Fighter G Gundam. Authority increased to: Third Class Soldier.
Transmigration time increased by 30 days. The time until the next transmigration is 120 days.
Storage Space capacity doubled. It is now 60 x 60 x 60.
Would you like the multiple divided spaces inside to be proportionally increased to 60 x 60 x 48 meters and 60 x 60 x 4 meters?"
"System, my authority has increased, but I'm only a Third Class Soldier. Looks like I've got a long way to go.
Mm, enlarge the Storage Space proportionally. Double everything."
Just then, a Death Army robot suddenly began walking toward Thor.
"Damn it, I've been spotted. Its enemy detection ability is way too ridiculous. I need to run, or I'm really done for."
Thor Kni stared at the unit walking toward him and sprinted for his life.
The Nano Suit shifted into full-body coverage, similar to Iron Man and Kamen Rider.
He ran several times faster than before.
"System, the Nano Suit can boost physical ability too? That's great.
Nano Suit, do you have a function that can simulate thrusters? Otherwise, I'll run out of stamina sooner or later."
An electronically synthesized voice suddenly came from within the Nano Suit.
"Master, the Nano Suit does not possess that function."
"Holy shit, Nano Suit, you can talk?
Alright then. ←_←
But I'm about to be unable to run anymore. Without thrusters, I'm going to die of exhaustion. (?_?)"
The ground suddenly shook, and a massive Gundam head rose from the ground in front of Thor Kni.
Caught in a pincer attack from the front and rear, he failed to dodge in time and was swallowed by the Gundam head.
"It's over. Is this how it ends? It's ending before it even began. Am I going to die without even touching a Gundam?"
Gundam Head: What are you looking at? Does being a Gundam head mean I don't count as a Gundam? I have V-shaped antennae too.
Inside the Gundam head, Thor Kni heard that electronically synthesized voice.
Nano Suit under external invasion... Assimilation in progress... Nano Suit activating Camouflage Mode... Molecular structure and authority exceed the opponent's. Assimilation upgrade successful. Self-Evolution, Self-Regeneration, and Self-Replication functions acquired. Camouflage Mode activated... Performance increased: Strength, Constitution, Speed +10; Defense +100. Skill: Intelligent Brain Assist (increases unit performance by 20%). Assimilation (can assimilate and modify other objects or living beings. Assimilation can be canceled, and canceling it leaves no traces of modification.)
Thor Kni immediately perked up.
"My goodness, it can do that? My appearance has turned into a DG Cells skeleton soldier.
Hahaha, so this Nano Suit is my cheat. It won't matter if I can't pilot units in the future.
It upgraded through assimilation, and it can even repair itself and replenish itself."
Thor Kni held his chin, thought for a moment, and muttered to himself.
"Speaking of this Assimilation function, doesn't that mean I'll be able to make Gunpla myself in the future?
That's awesome. I can find unit parts and assemble a 1:1 Gundam 00 myself in the future."
