Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic-Chapter 810 - 408: Awakening_2
If the Ghost Emperor discovers Su Yu’s abilities, it would be troublesome.
This guy definitely has research on the Power of Time and might make specific arrangements against it.
Or the Ghost Emperor might find Su Yu’s abilities too powerful and directly escape, remaining invisible, to avoid being detected by Su Yu.
If the Ghost Emperor remains hidden, no matter how strong Su Yu’s Power of Time is, it would be useless if he can’t find him.
At that time, the Ghost Emperor is in the dark, and Su Yu is in the light, eventually leading to an ambush.
Although even if Su Yu falls into an ambush and dies, he can still be resurrected, it is ultimately still a hassle.
Perhaps if he dies enough times, the Ghost Emperor would find a way to kill Su Yu permanently.
Actually, Su Yu has another option, which is to travel back further in the past, a year ago when he last faced the Ghost Emperor face-to-face.
At that time, the Ghost Emperor wasn’t hiding, and Su Yu could directly engage in battle.
But the problem is, even if Su Yu travels back, if he doesn’t understand the Ghost Emperor’s abilities, he still can’t win and would still be killed.
If he can’t kill the Ghost Emperor in history, it won’t significantly change history, at most causing the Ghost Emperor to split into a new timeline and merge in the [now].
It might even become stronger because of it.
Unless Su Yu wants to travel back ten thousand years when the Ghost Emperor was still weak and kill him then, but that would be too costly for Su Yu to bear.
Traveling back two years when the Ghost Emperor hadn’t revived yet is also not feasible, as Su Yu doesn’t know where the Ghost Emperor was hiding at that time, as his invisibility is too strong.
Su Yu has another option, which is to endlessly travel back a year repeatedly to change the Ghost Emperor’s history, forcing the Ghost Emperor to split into countless timelines and unable to merge in the [now], thus killing him.
But the Ghost Emperor is incredibly powerful with many methods, who knows if there’s a way for him to resist this timeline split.
If time splitting cannot kill the Ghost Emperor, it will alert him early of Su Yu’s abilities.
After all, every change in history will reflect in the [now].
So for Su Yu to kill the Ghost Emperor, it’s best in the [now] or the [future].
"The key is still to figure out how I died, to understand the Ghost Emperor’s abilities..."
Such thoughts spun in Su Yu’s mind.
Information! For Su Yu right now, information is the most important!
However, no matter how Su Yu recalled, there was no sign at the instant when the Ghost Emperor killed him just now.
No fluctuations, truly just death as one would say.
No way, with a thought, Su Yu’s consciousness returned to the past.
A little over two minutes ago, Su Yu just noticed an anomaly in the Mechanical City and was preparing to check it out.
Then Su Yu’s consciousness returned to this moment.
This is the second time he’s returned to this point.
"Try again."
Su Yu muttered to himself.
He has many chances after all; if one death yields no information, another will.
Next, Su Yu once again "played out" the original history, first returning to the vicinity of the Mechanical City, then withstanding seven attacks of the Power of Star Soul.
And naturally, according to the historical development, the Ghost Emperor used three Star Soul powers to strengthen his spiritual power to Fifth Rank, gaining the ability to alter reality.
Two minutes later, the exact moment before Su Yu’s death arrived again.
"Here it comes!"
Su Yu held his breath, gathering his spiritual power to its limit, determined to see clearly how he ultimately died.
A moment later, Su Yu died again.
"Died again... still no clues."
Su Yu wasn’t discouraged.
Returned two minutes prior once more.
The last death and return to two minutes prior utilized his original body’s Power of Time.
This second death, however, was preset on those Energy Towers to activate at this moment, allowing Su Yu to cross over using Mechanical Power, saving too much use of his own Power of Time.
Then, Su Yu started the loop again, dying the third time, fourth time, fifth time...
In mere two-minute spans, Su Yu quickly cycled over ten times, meticulously observing and analyzing the process of his death.
This many times of observation was enough for him to sense something amiss.
Through tens of deaths and careful observation, Su Yu finally discovered the secret of the Ghost Emperor’s power.
He realized his death was extraordinary.
His body vanished into thin air, with no apparent process.
Both Spiritual Energy and spirit, along with the molecules and cells making up his body, disappeared simultaneously in an instant.
Moreover, Su Yu’s body wasn’t shattered by some powerful energy into Basic Particles, but truly vanished.
It was as if he was never there.
After Su Yu’s disappearance, theoretically, the original location should become a vacuum without air or material.
Then air would automatically fill the space, causing a small air explosion.
But none of that happened.
After Su Yu vanished, no air filled the original space; it just had regular air as if it was always there.
As if Su Yu was never there, just normal air was.
"Interesting."
"This seems almost like my history alteration."
Su Yu could do such a thing as well by altering someone’s history, causing them to split into numerous timelines, ultimately unable to merge and vanishing in the [now].
This outright changes reality, resulting in matter disappearing and the space filled with air.
Su Yu himself once died in an experiment in a similar situation.
Su Yu manipulating Time can achieve this, but it’s curious how the Ghost Emperor manages it; what’s the principle behind it?
"My Power of Time allows disappearance, essentially by altering history to decide the [now]."
"Does the Ghost Emperor change the [now] directly?"
"Could spiritual power bring about the ability to alter reality and define the [now] if strong enough?"
"No wonder he can kill me instantly..."
Su Yu’s computational and analysis capabilities are exceedingly powerful.
Just this hint let him deduce the truth!
The Ghost Emperor’s power is to decide the [now] and alter reality!
The more Su Yu thought about it, the more it seemed plausible.
He has the Power of Time and is a Manifestation Mechanic.
Altering reality through the Power of Time is part of his domain.
And data manifestation by Manifestation Mechanic, though not as strong, is similar to altering reality, just fictitious.
But Su Yu wonders if data manifestation got powerful enough, would it no longer be fictitious but real!
And if the spiritual domain resembling data domain grows potent, altering reality wouldn’t be surprising.
"Good thing I didn’t attempt to attack the Ghost Emperor with history."
Upon conjecturing the Ghost Emperor’s abilities, Su Yu felt grateful for his cautiousness.
Even if Su Yu alters the Ghost Emperor’s history to split him into countless timelines unable to merge, causing him to vanish here in [now] completely,
the Ghost Emperor still has the power to alter reality and decide the [now].
He can forcibly alter reality and change the fact of his disappearance!
The Ghost Emperor indeed has the capability to resist history attacks!
If Su Yu attacked with history, not only would it fail to kill him, it would reveal his own information to him.
Fortunately, none of that happened.
"This fellow is truly formidable, to be so strong."
Su Yu was somewhat impressed, wondering how the Ghost Emperor achieved it.
And how to deal with such a powerful Ghost Emperor?
"No matter what, the Ghost Emperor’s power likely has limits, can’t last long, or has usage counts..."
"Then to deal with him is simple... go to the future!"
With a thought, Su Yu crossed over again.
This time, not to the past, but to the future!
At the [now] time point, in the two-minute cycle, time has moved forward by a millionth of a second.
The future Su Yu headed to was two millionths of a second later.
Two millionths of a second after Su Yu’s "death," his body appeared out of thin air.
In this future, the Ghost Emperor just altered reality, killed Su Yu, and was ready to laugh heartily when suddenly his smile froze.
How is Su Yu alive again?
