The artifact's appearance was blurry, but to my senses, it was cone-shaped, just like the drill pendant on Tengen Toppa's neck.

Xiao Shan felt that once his authority increased, he should be able to see its full form.

For now, he would start by dividing the storage space.

"System, divide a space of 30x30x24 meters (length x width x height) as a hangar.

Weapons, living things, and mobile suits will be stored here in the future.

A 30x30x2 meter space for clean water.

A 30x30x2 meter space for cooked, packaged, clean food.

The remaining 30x30x2 meters for raw food.

The hangar space will have time flowing normally, while other spaces will have time relatively frozen."

(I have to separate raw and cooked food, otherwise, bacteria infection will cause diarrhea and I'll die in this other world, embarrassing the whole group of transmigrators.)

"Oh right, System, can you automatically categorize items when I collect them?"

"Yes, Host. Items will be automatically categorized upon collection. Shall I start dividing the storage space?"

"Mm, okay, let's start."

"Understood, Host. Starting storage space division... Division complete."

"Whoa, that was fast.

Let's collect the food and water, and other items first."

After putting all the food from the refrigerator into the storage space, he placed his hand directly on the faucet, turned the valve, and started filling it with water.

Once everything was ready, Xiao Shan said to the auxiliary system.

"System, I'm ready. Start the transmigration."

"Understood, Host. Transmigration commencing, countdown 10, 9... 2, 1, start."

Xiao Shan's vision went black and he lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he was in a desolate, ruined city.

"Holy crap, I went from home straight to the apocalypse, and it's all ruins.

Good thing I was well-prepared, otherwise I'd be screwed."

Xiao Shan took out a mirror to look at his appearance.

"This body is still Thor's. It looks like I'll use the name Thor Klune from now on with this body.

My name, Xiao Shan, is now a thing of the past. Goodbye, past self."

Thor Klune smiled and gave a self-deprecating laugh. (From now on, the protagonist's name is Thor Klune.)

"At least this body is young and energetic. Although I'm not a Coordinator, it's not bad for sending my girlfriend off.

Otherwise, a body nearing forty wouldn't be able to handle transmigration. Backaches, sore legs, a beer belly – in a world like this apocalypse, I'd probably die from exhaustion without doing much."

"Wait, if things go wrong, my girlfriend might not even be mine anymore. If I fake my death, my little girlfriend might get snatched away by Diego Elsman, the pilot of Gundam Blitz."

Thor Klune thought for a while, the more he thought, the more his head hurt.

"Sigh, I won't think about it anymore. I'll take it one step at a time.

Worst case scenario, I'll just stay single. It's not like I haven't had a wife before, having one is enough."

Thor Klune closed his eyes and consoled himself with a sense of open-mindedness.

"Only by holding on can you let go, mmm."

"Pfft, what 'mmm' am I? I'm not a monk.

I won't think about it anymore. I need to figure out the current situation first."

He searched the city ruins for 3 days and found nothing, not even food or clean water.

Fortunately, the space was filled with tap water from the faucet, otherwise, he would have truly died.

Food was also running low, and he hadn't found any effective clues.

There were no abandoned metals or vehicles, not even human remains.

It was cleaned up too thoroughly. He couldn't imagine what kind of world this was.

Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound in the distance. Thor Klune immediately moved towards it.

Seeing the yellow, one-eyed robot in the distance, he finally understood why the ruins were so "clean."

So it was the Devil Gundam's doing. People and supplies were assimilated and transformed into parts for the Death Army's mobile suits.

"The three theoretical functions of DG Cells – 'self-evolution, self-regeneration, self-propagation' – are truly impressive. Their environmental ideology is top-notch.

This is bad. I don't want to be assimilated. To face such a dog-like death after only a few transmigrations. Being assimilated is no different from dying, right?"

"Host, the world has been confirmed as the Mobile Fighter G Gundam world. Authority level increased to: Third Class Soldier.

Transmigration duration increased by 30 days. Next transmigration will be for 120 days."

Storage space capacity doubled, now 60x60x60.

"Do the multiple internal segmented spaces also scale proportionally to 60x60x48 and 60x60x4 meters?"

"System, my clearance has been raised. I'm only a Third Class Soldier, looks like I've got some room to maneuver.

Hmm, scale up the storage space proportionally. Double everything."

Just then, robots from the Death Army suddenly started walking towards Thor.

"What the hell, I've been spotted. Their targeting is too insane. Gotta run, or I'm really done for."

Thor Klune sprinted for his life as the machines advanced towards him.

The Nano Suit switched to full-body coverage mode, similar to Iron Man and Kamen Rider.

He ran several times faster than before.

"System, the Nano Suit also has a physical enhancement effect, that's great.

That Nano Suit, does it have a simulated thruster function? Otherwise, I won't be able to run for long."

Suddenly, an electronic synthesized voice spoke from within the Nano Suit.

"Master, the Nano Suit does not have this function."

"Holy crap, Nano Suit, you can talk?

Alright, ←_←.

But I can barely run anymore. Without thrusters, I'm about to die from exhaustion. (?_?)"

The ground suddenly shook, and a giant Gundam head emerged from the ground in front of Thor Klune.

He was caught in a pincer attack and, unable to dodge, 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? Doesn't a Gundam head count as a Gundam? I have a V-fin too.)

Inside the Gundam head, Thor Klune heard the electronic synthesized voice say:

"Nano Suit receiving external intrusion... undergoing Assimilation..."

"Nano Suit activating camouflage function...

Molecular structure, clearance higher than the intruder, Assimilation upgrade successful.

Acquired Self-Evolution, Self-Regeneration, Self-Replication functions.

Activating camouflage mode...

Performance increased to Strength, Constitution, Speed +10, Defense +100.

Skill: Intelligent Brain Assist (Assists the mobile suit in performing at +20% capacity).

Assimilation (Can assimilate and modify other items or lifeforms. Assimilation can be canceled, leaving no modification traces after cancellation.)"

Thor Klune's spirits immediately lifted.

"My goodness, this is possible? My appearance has changed into a DG Cell skeleton soldier.

Hahaha, so this Nano Suit is my cheat! It's fine even if I can't pilot a mobile suit anymore.

It's been upgraded with Assimilation, and it can even repair and resupply itself."

Thor Klune stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and muttered to himself.

"Speaking of the Assimilation function, doesn't that mean I can build my own Gunpla from now on?

Awesome. I can find mobile suit parts and build a 1:1 Gundam myself."
