Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
“Blue Bar” / mental-energy limit identified	80	Learns that his anomalous abilities consume a mental resource rather than physical stamina; eliminating Oddities expands its upper limit.
Expanded Blue Bar	85	Absorbs an Infected Tai Sui, producing a slight increase in his mental-energy capacity.
Fifth-Rank Hunter	379	Participates in the P.F.D.A. live-test operation as a Fifth-Rank Hunter.
Anger-amplified metal manipulation	462	His control over metal increases sharply while enraged, enough to collapse a tower crane; the mental-energy cost rises by more than tenfold.

Background / History

Sun Hang initially operated as a temporary investigator and was already considered unusual during his first mission: a Blood Mist that incapacitated Peacekeepers dissipated around him. He also carried a large debt to the Xiazhou Federation, which he used as practical leverage when arguing against being placed in danger. He subsequently became an Anomaly Hunter assigned to Tianfu City, with Yang Qi serving as his direct supervisor. 5 16 306

His infection is officially attributed to Taotie, granting him abnormal recovery, devouring-related traits, and the capacity to acquire new effects from Anomalies. Sun Hang privately doubts that explanation. He suspects that his seemingly unrelated powers—including creating anomalous objects and turning steel into gold—may stem from a separate “wish fulfillment” ability rather than Taotie alone. 19 40 85

Sun Hang’s memories of his past are fragmented and painful to access. The only identification recovered with him was a metal nameplate engraved with “Sun Hang,” yet even the authenticity of that name is questioned. Later, a vision shown by Pei Zongjun’s hologram depicts Sun Hang being devoured by a Taotie Clone in a dilapidated attic before Peacekeepers opened fire on him. 44 276 452

The recovered nameplate eventually develops an almost identical meme frequency to Sun Hang’s and is described as having a “separation” relationship with him. Its engraving also changes to “Elena Dimoshina,” further complicating his identity and connection to Anomalies. 282 283

Personality

Sun Hang is pragmatic, skeptical, and difficult to provoke through appeals to morality. He prioritizes immediate survival and personal benefit, openly rejecting the idea that humanity is a unified faction and dismissing attempts to recruit him through altruistic rhetoric. 222 321

He is highly analytical in dangerous situations. Rather than relying solely on raw force, he tests enemies, identifies limitations in their abilities, exploits information gaps, and uses decoys or misdirection to create openings. 68 129 199

Despite his detached manner, Sun Hang repeatedly assumes responsibility when people are endangered. He protects teammates, offers retaliation for fallen field operatives, regenerates the Spirit Exorcist’s missing body parts, and safeguards Xue Yue while she learns the truth of her origins. 347 388 463 467

His humor is often dry, provocative, or deliberately inappropriate. He is also guarded about his memories and deeper motivations, routinely deflecting personal questions with banter. 199 222 545

Abilities & Skills

Taotie Physiology and Devouring

Sun Hang’s Taotie-associated infection grants heightened physical resilience, rapid healing, predatory instincts, and the ability to consume Anomaly-related memes.

• Can absorb Anomalies or their remnants to increase his mental-energy capacity and potentially obtain new abilities. 85 161
• Developed a keratin layer and hyphae resistant to the corrosive blood of an Infected Tai Sui. 85
• Can recover from extreme bodily damage, including having flesh consumed by Anomaly Equipment. 302
• Resisted and annihilated an Anomaly consciousness attempting to seize his body. 390
• His physical enhancement is substantial but remains below Wang Xiyi’s Black Dragon-derived physique in a purely unpowered fight. 246

Tai Sui Hyphae

Sun Hang can generate, control, and weaponize Tai Sui hyphae from his body.

• Uses hyphae as grapples, tethers, restraints, shields, and propulsion anchors. 67 389 439
• Can create mimic decoys made of hyphae whose meme signature is indistinguishable from his own. 199 321
• Creates humanoid hyphae puppets and can use them for combat or testing opponents. 355 461
• Can consume residual Anomaly memes through hyphae, as demonstrated when acquiring the Huntress’s “Sharp Blade” ability. 161
• Hyphae can be destroyed or withered by sufficiently dangerous anomalous effects. 462

Metal Manipulation

Sun Hang can reshape, liquefy, move, and weaponize metal with high precision.

• Forms blades, spears, shields, needles, armor, projectiles, and large-scale weapons from available metal. 37 64 199
• Liquefies metal to envelop or dismantle enemy weapons rather than confronting them directly. 68
• Can apply an anti-gravity effect to metal, allowing it to float or function as flying blades. 415
• Uses metal control to disassemble mechanical prosthetics and reinforce vehicles against attacks. 450 462
• Direct control is less effective against material that has itself become anomalous. 130

Wish Fulfillment

An unstable ability that manifests desired outcomes, often at a considerable mental-energy cost and without fully conscious activation.

• First documented effect transformed stainless steel into gold. 19
• Can enhance his vision, including allowing him to perceive materialized negative emotions in darkness. 459
• Can influence objects to achieve a desired result, but even simple effects may consume a major portion of his Blue Bar. 513
• Sun Hang considers it a possible source of his true power, separate from Taotie’s devouring. 85

Kui Niu Electromagnetism

Sun Hang possesses lightning, electromagnetic-field, and weather-related abilities associated with Kui Niu.

• Generates electric nets capable of cutting apart large Anomalies. 390
• Uses electromagnetic acceleration for extremely high-speed movement, rapid pursuit, and assault. 355 439
• Can detect and track Anomaly scent, then combine it with his speed to pursue targets through difficult terrain. 369 388
• High-speed movement requires careful control; he has injured himself by misjudging acceleration and landing force. 365

Regeneration and Life-Force Manipulation

Sun Hang can transfer or materialize life force to restore others.

• Regenerated the Spirit Exorcist’s missing body parts when she was near death. 347
• Restored a severely injured girl’s damaged organs, including the formation of a new heart. 462
• Can conceal his life force to avoid detection. 513
• Healing may reveal his identity or make it difficult for him to remain concealed. 513

Sensory and Cognitive Abilities

Sun Hang possesses several perception-oriented abilities that he intentionally conceals.

• Can perceive an Anomaly-specific scent inaccessible to ordinary humans. 369
• Can read memories or decipher unusual information-recording methods, though he keeps this capability secret. 175
• Can read minds, but holographic projections are immune to this ability. 450
• Deduced an ethereal Hunter’s true location and exposed him while he was projecting a phantom form. 139

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• .50 caliber hunting handgun — Replaced his standard 9mm sidearm after his Taotie-enhanced body became capable of handling its recoil. 62

• Nephthys — Protective equipment issued to the advance team; Sun Hang uses it despite being able to conceal his aura without it. 611
• Metal nameplate — The only item recovered with Sun Hang when he was found unconscious; later becomes an Anomaly linked to his meme frequency. 276 445

• Candle Dragon — A dependable ally who provides intelligence, strategic support, and assistance during major operations. 236 511 545
