Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic-Chapter 803 - 405: The Time Mechanic’s First Battle!
At this moment, Su Yu was truly furious. The Ghost Emperor’s methods were too insidious and practically impossible to guard against.
If he hadn’t woken up at the critical moment, he might have already been dead.
However, Su Yu quickly calmed his anger because emotions could affect his judgment and decision-making.
Now, the most important thing was to figure out how to break the Ghost Emperor’s ability.
Su Yu’s thoughts churned as he recalled and analyzed everything he had previously encountered.
Soon, he reached a conclusion: "This is a trap!"
Su Yu realized in his heart.
During this year, Su Yu went through a thousand reincarnations in the Dark Space-Time, took on the role of the Time Mechanic, and successfully mastered the power of time. Meanwhile, the Ghost Emperor wasn’t idle either.
He used some kind of spiritual ability to invade and corrupt the Mechanical City, thereby setting a deadly trap for Su Yu.
If Su Yu hadn’t returned, under the Ghost Emperor’s manipulation, the Mechanical City would have fallen into internal strife, leaving it vulnerable to the Ghost Emperor’s intrusion.
The Mechanical City is Su Yu’s Mechanical Apostle. If it fell into the hands of the Ghost Emperor, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If Su Yu returned, at the moment of his return, the Mechanical City and Mechanical Spirit, Tie Long, and others would certainly sense it.
But this sensation would be "intercepted" by the Ghost Emperor, so the Ghost Emperor was the first to receive information on Su Yu’s return, while the Mechanical City showed no reaction to its master’s return.
Upon learning of Su Yu’s return, the Ghost Emperor set off the trap, enveloping the Mechanical City with that powerful spiritual force, waiting for Su Yu to approach and be invaded by that force.
This trap was very discreet, you could even say Su Yu was bound to fall into it.
Because up until now, Su Yu didn’t even know how that force had invaded him, nor where the force came from. Wasn’t it inevitable?
"As a Fourth-rank strong person, the fact that I was caught off guard like this signifies that this kind of power is undoubtedly of a very high level."
"It might not be at the Fourth-rank at all, but close to Fifth-rank, or even the Fifth-rank itself!"
Su Yu concluded in his heart that the spiritual power in question was very likely at the Fifth-tier level!
The Ghost Emperor, as a seasoned Fourth-rank strong person, would surely have accumulated very powerful assets over the years.
Finding a way to produce Fifth-tier power is also reasonable.
[The King] could create a Fifth-rank Radiant Mecha, and this Ghost Emperor might very well have similar methods.
Previously, the Ghost Emperor sending Su Yu to the Dark Space-Time was a powerful move.
Now, this spiritual power was the second trump card, and as for whether there were others, that was uncertain.
"However, there must be limitations to this power."
"It might be a time limit or a usage limit; it definitely can’t be used at will!"
Su Yu made another judgment.
The reason is simple; if the Ghost Emperor could freely use Fifth-tier spiritual power, Su Yu would have already been dead and wouldn’t have lasted until now.
And this limitation is the key to Su Yu breaking out.
Su Yu’s consciousness moved swiftly, considering all possibilities.
As Su Yu was thinking, the scenery before him began to ripple slightly.
In this Thought Space, there’s no sky or earth, just a pure white expanse with not a blemish, seemingly unchanging and eternal.
But now, this pure white showed signs of wavering, as if it were about to shatter.
Although the signs of wavering were slight, they were nevertheless an ill omen, indicating instability here.
"It looks like I can’t stay here long!"
Su Yu immediately judged that there was a time limit in this Thought Space.
This didn’t surprise Su Yu. He couldn’t possibly think here forever. Otherwise, wouldn’t that mean eternal life?
A time limit here is also normal.
Strictly speaking, time and space don’t exist in this Thought Space; there is no real time at all.
It’s the inertia of Su Yu’s thoughts that constructed the virtual time.
The measure of time here is based on Su Yu’s thinking speed.
When a thought flashes in Su Yu’s consciousness, time moves forward a moment here.
If Su Yu stopped thinking, time wouldn’t move forward, and perhaps it could be maintained indefinitely.
But that wouldn’t have any meaning either. Not thinking is tantamount to death, not eternal life but eternal death.
Moreover, in the absence of time and space here, no matter how long you stay, only an instant has passed in reality, unable even to delay time.
If Su Yu thinks rapidly, time here will also pass quickly.
Essentially, Su Yu’s rapid thinking depletes willpower and computing power, jeopardizing the stability here.
Fortunately, the fluctuations in this Thought Space are currently not intense, which means Su Yu still has quite a bit of "time" here.
But if Su Yu can’t figure out a way out, he will eventually run out of time.
By then, Su Yu will have only two choices.
The first is to directly transit back to Dark Space-Time. After all, he previously activated the power of time to traverse to Dark Space-Time.
If the transition is successful, it would consume a lot of time power, and Su Yu isn’t sure if he has accumulated enough.
Moreover, this time, Su Yu didn’t use Mechanical Power for the transit. It was entirely driven by his own accumulated time power, meaning the backlash would definitely be strong. Even if successful, he’d likely be severely injured or even dead.
The second choice is to return along the original path to normal space-time, returning to the Ruins Star.
Since Su Yu hasn’t yet successfully traversed, he’s currently in the gap between normal space-time and Dark Space-Time, with room to turn back.
He can "retract."
However, doing so would mean facing the Ghost Emperor’s eerie spiritual power again, and he might never wake up, inadvertently dying.
