Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic-Chapter 808 - 407: Ghost Emperor’s Full Power (Part 2)
Now, the Ghost Emperor once again becomes strong to this extent, all just to deal with Su Yu alone!
Then, the Ghost Emperor looked at Su Yu with a fierce gaze, showing a cruel smile...
"Something’s wrong!
Su Yu feels something’s off!
Because it’s been a full ten seconds since the last spiritual attack, and during these ten seconds, Su Yu hasn’t encountered any danger.
"It seems that the spiritual power of the Ghost Emperor is almost depleted!"
Su Yu thought to himself.
He had long known that the Ghost Emperor’s powerful spiritual energy couldn’t be infinite.
He had arranged the Time Energy Tower in the distance and then deliberately came over, just to deplete the spiritual power of the Ghost Emperor.
Now the goal has been achieved.
However, Su Yu knew that the Ghost Emperor surely wouldn’t sit idly by and let Su Yu deplete his power completely. Seeing something was wrong, he would definitely make another move.
Now that the spiritual power is almost exhausted, the Ghost Emperor will definitely use other means!
What on earth could it be?
Su Yu watched his surroundings vigilantly, trying to find the trace of the Ghost Emperor.
His vision could see through past and future, yet he still couldn’t find the figure of the Ghost Emperor.
Su Yu felt helpless; the Ghost Emperor’s methods were indeed brilliant, even his ability to see through the timeline couldn’t find a trace.
If he could find the Ghost Emperor, Su Yu could directly use the Power of Time to travel across time and conduct a temporal attack on the Ghost Emperor.
A time attack would be even more undefendable and dangerous than the Ghost Emperor’s spiritual attack.
But if you can’t find him, can’t see him, no matter how strong you are, it’s useless.
"Could it be that the Ghost Emperor isn’t nearby and just left some spiritual energy here waiting for me?"
"If so, wouldn’t the Ghost Emperor be in an invincible position?"
Looking around but unable to find the Ghost Emperor, such a thought couldn’t help but arise in Su Yu’s mind.
"But that’s not necessarily the case."
"The Ghost Emperor’s spiritual power, even now I can’t see it, don’t know where it comes from."
"If the Ghost Emperor’s body is empowered this way, even if he stands right in front of me, I wouldn’t notice."
"Even if I can see through past and future, but here and now, I can’t see him, past and future, I can’t see either."
"So, it’s possible he’s nearby..."
Another possibility flashed in Su Yu’s mind.
The Ghost Emperor could be standing right in front of him, just invisible!
Whether in the past or the future, he is invisible.
Thinking of this, Su Yu was speechless.
Back when he had just been promoted to the Ghost Emperor Hidden Blade, he crafted the Brutal Battle Armor, one of the powerful functions of this armor is invisibility.
And now, Su Yu finally understands what his enemies felt back then.
Knowing a powerful enemy is approaching, but unable to see or touch it, is indeed frustrating.
Not knowing when the enemy will attack, how the enemy will attack, or even if the enemy attacked at all.
"Fortunately, I have the Power of Time..."
Su Yu thought to himself, not worried about not finding a trace of the Ghost Emperor, as he had the Power of Time anyway.
This power, whether in attack or defense, is nearly invincible.
At least, it is in the Fourth Rank.
In the distance, the thirty Mechanical Energy Towers arranged by Su Yu, in these ten seconds, faithfully activated ten times, allowing Su Yu to leave the timeline ten times to avoid possible danger.
This is a pre-set program by Su Yu, once per second, to prevent him from being influenced by spiritual attacks and not having time to give commands. If an emergency arises, Su Yu can also issue an instantaneous order to activate it in advance, making it completely safe, fearing no danger.
However, in these ten seconds, there was no danger after all.
These ten activations were all wasted.
"Fortunately, under such circumstances, the time rebound is very small, and those energy towers can still be used for a long time."
Su Yu estimated the consumption of those energy towers and concluded that with the current frequency of activation, once every second, they could last for another hour without any problem.
That is to say, those energy towers can still activate thousands of times! Wasting ten times or so doesn’t matter at all.
The reason those Mechanical Energy Towers can still activate so many times is partly because after Su Yu took the position as a Time Mechanic, the technology of manufacturing Mechanical Energy Towers greatly improved, optimizing their blueprints many times, making them very durable.
Also, Su Yu only briefly left the timeline each time and then immediately returned.
This way, Su Yu neither alters history nor determines the future, so the time rebound is very small.
If Su Yu used those energy towers to truly accomplish time travel, crossing to the past or future, the backlash would be significant.
The further the "distance" to travel, the greater the backlash.
If one were to travel back or forth a decade or two, those energy towers would be rendered useless instantly.
Fortunately, Su Yu doesn’t need to travel for that long; a fight with the Ghost Emperor probably only needs a few seconds of time travel, at most a few minutes.
That kind of time travel, Su Yu estimates, can be used a few hundred times without any problem.
Moreover, even if the energy towers run out of usage, Su Yu can use his own Power of Time to accomplish the travel.
Calculating these things in his mind, Su Yu felt at ease.
Even though he didn’t know what tricks the Ghost Emperor was up to, with these back-ups, Su Yu was basically in an undefeated position, so what was there to worry about?
Unless the Ghost Emperor also mastered the Power of Time, would there really be a threat to Su Yu.
But Su Yu recalled his own near-death experience when taking the role of a Time Mechanic and felt it was impossible.
Unless the Ghost Emperor also had a Profession Panel, mastering the Power of Time at the Fourth Rank was a mere pipe dream.
"However, still need to be careful; the Ghost Emperor probably has grasped a bit of incomplete Power of Time..."
Su Yu was not complacent, because he recalled earlier, the Ghost Emperor infiltrating the Mechanical City using that "Time Projection".
Although the Ghost Emperor couldn’t possibly truly master the Power of Time, he surely researched it.
Even creating a so-called Time Projection avatar.
And previously, the Ghost Emperor sending Su Yu to Dark Space-Time probably used related technology.
Su Yu guessed that the Ghost Emperor’s research on the Power of Time might be similar to Su Yu’s state before becoming a Time Mechanic.
At that time, Su Yu, though not yet a Time Mechanic, had already developed a time machine, able to use the power of machines to a certain extent to travel through time.
It’s just that back then, Su Yu was still restricted by the rules of time.
Back then, if Su Yu traveled back to the past, it would cause historical divergence.
Traveling to the future, he couldn’t determine the future, and he might not be able to return.
Under normal circumstances, mastering the Power of Time at the Fourth Rank should reach this degree; only partially mastered, with significant dangers and limitations.
The Ghost Emperor’s research on the Power of Time should also be at this level.
Su Yu could become a Time Mechanic, integrate all fragmented histories, determine the future, and truly master the Power of Time, which was an anomaly that the Ghost Emperor couldn’t possess.
Although the possibility that incomplete Power of Time threatens Su Yu is small, it’s not nonexistent either.
So Su Yu remains cautious, always vigilant of his surroundings, maintaining the time perspective to observe past and future.
Little did Su Yu know, at this time, the Ghost Emperor had already quietly approached him, floating in front of him!
Just as Su Yu thought, the Ghost Emperor stood right in front of him, and he couldn’t detect it at all!
Actually, the Ghost Emperor didn’t have this ability before.
Previously, the Ghost Emperor used his abilities to carefully create a spiritual power barrier, achieving the effect of invisibility.
As long as he hid within the barrier, even a fellow Fourth Rank couldn’t discover him.
However, this invisibility would be exposed if the Ghost Emperor approached Su Yu within a certain distance or initiated a spiritual attack on Su Yu, not truly invisible and shapeless.
In other words, he could only watch from afar, unable to approach, unable to attack.
Thus, the Ghost Emperor had been using the Power of Star Soul to attack and didn’t utilize other means because other means would expose his position.
He was cautious enough.
And now, after the Ghost Emperor used the Power of Star Soul on himself three times, his power underwent immense changes!
He completely transformed his body into a shapeless and formless spiritual power! Truly becoming a "ghost"!
Now, the Ghost Emperor truly lived up to his name!
Transforming into a ghost, the Ghost Emperor circled Su Yu once, a grim smile on his face.
"Su Yu, whether you are Zhang Chenfeng or not, you are dead this time!"
Then, the Ghost Emperor unleashed his ability on Su Yu.
Without any energy fluctuations, Su Yu’s body directly disappeared.
He was dead!
