Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic-Chapter 812 - 409: "Strategy" and "Boss" (Part 2)
"The Ghost Emperor’s precise number of reality modifications should be one hundred and seventy-three times, truly powerful..."
"And his hidden location, it’s almost figured out."
"Additionally, it seems this ability to modify reality can be avoided? Let’s try again... Good!"
After numerous traversals, Su Yu finally gathered enough intelligence.
He once again returned to past history, and those futures he had experienced disappeared without a trace.
The future, by nature, is false. As long as Su Yu doesn’t use the Power of Time [Determining the Future] to turn the false into true, no matter how many times he probes, it remains false.
And due to Su Yu’s departure, those futures crumble and cease to exist without his presence.
The Ghost Emperor also cannot see Su Yu’s probes in the future, and won’t know about Su Yu’s abilities.
After all, Su Yu is still technically "dead," not truly resurrected; how could the Ghost Emperor see Su Yu in the future?
In fact, Su Yu’s probing is like some sort of simulation deduction.
It’s akin to intelligent devices using powerful computation to deduce possible future developments.
The Mechanical Spirit and Su Yu himself also have such capabilities.
Even ordinary people can estimate potential future developments.
However, such deduction requires a large amount of computational power and the results are not accurate.
Su Yu’s probing, however, is a 100% real "deduction" activated by the Power of Time in the future.
As long as Su Yu pays the price to determine the future, he can make the probed future turn real.
Of course, Su Yu wouldn’t do that; involving a Fourth Or even Fifth Rank like the Ghost Emperor, forcing the future to turn real would consume too much.
Moreover, after probing, since the Ghost Emperor is not dead, determining such a future is pointless.
Theoretically, Su Yu could have, to begin with, crossed into the future before the Ghost Emperor used his reality-modifying ability to deduce and gather information on him.
However, probing future intelligence is not omnipotent.
The Ghost Emperor’s reality modification creates new realities and futures from nothing.
This ability is outside Su Yu’s view before use.
Su Yu cannot see ahead.
Su Yu continuously observes past and future, but before the Ghost Emperor used his reality modification ability, he didn’t see this ability at all.
Not seeing means naturally he couldn’t observe related futures or probe related intelligence.
This is also similar to deduction.
One needs to grasp relevant information first to use it as a base to consume computational power for deduction.
If there’s no information at all, creation from nothing is impossible.
The Ghost Emperor first used the reality modification ability on Su Yu, erasing him.
Only then can Su Yu take this reality as a base, see related futures, and thus travel back to probe intelligence.
Therefore, Su Yu must die once to take subsequent actions.
The intelligence has now been probed thoroughly.
"Still not strong enough!"
Su Yu secretly sighed in his heart.
Finally, after getting the position of Time Mechanic and mastering the Power of Time, the first battle is so troublesome.
If his Power of Time was strong enough, perhaps he could foresee the Ghost Emperor’s reality modification in advance and completely control all possibilities.
Even not giving the Ghost Emperor any opportunity to modify reality, directly erasing him on the timeline level...
But, one can only imagine.
The Power of Time is not an unrestricted, brainless force.
While powerful, using it to defeat enemies requires a lot of thought, and it’s even very troublesome.
However, on second thought, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
The various limitations of the Power of Time are actually a good thing.
If there were no limitations, Su Yu wouldn’t have survived until now, as time manipulators would have long crossed over to erase him.
Especially that God of Pain in the future, who would have crossed time to target Su Yu long ago.
If the Power of Time had no restrictions, what chance of survival would Su Yu have?
Thinking this way made Su Yu feel much better.
Moreover, all these troubles occur within Su Yu’s consciousness, invisible to the enemy.
The enemy only sees Su Yu as inexplicably powerful, completely unbeatable.
This way, Su Yu felt even better.
"Heh, it’s time to resurrect and face this guy head-on."
Su Yu thought to himself.
No matter how many times he probed in the future, it was ultimately for intelligence gathering.
The real battle must return to the [present] and face the Ghost Emperor head-on!
In the [present], the Ghost Emperor had just used the power of reality modification to erase Su Yu, grinning.
But before the grin fully spread, it froze!
Because Su Yu instantly reappeared!
This time, it was not a future deduction, not falsehood.
But Su Yu truly used a crossing to one-millionth of a second into the future, then employed the power to determine the future to decide this future as real, achieving resurrection!
"Why is Su Yu alive again?"
Just like in the future deduction, the Ghost Emperor’s consciousness flashed with this thought.
However, before him completing this thought, he saw Su Yu turn and glare coldly at his position!
In truth, Su Yu’s eyes still conveyed nihility, unable to see the Ghost Emperor now.
But in numerous future crossings and probings, Su Yu had long ascertained the Ghost Emperor’s exact location.
The probing method was simple.
Every resurrection, Su Yu only needed to wear a stern face and glare in a random direction.
The expression must be confident, indifferent, and best to utter some lines, such as:
"Ghost Emperor, no need to hide; I see you!"
Keep trying, and there’s always a chance of blind luck.
In some futures, the Ghost Emperor, losing patience, got tricked by Su Yu and directly jumped out, canceled his invisibility, letting Su Yu grasp his location.
"He found me!"
The Ghost Emperor instantly panicked.
All along, Su Yu was blind before him, unable to perceive his trace.
Especially after using the Power of Star Soul to greatly enhance his spiritual power, his invisibility was incredibly strong.
Even face to face with Su Yu, Su Yu couldn’t see him.
But now, what’s going on?
Of course, the Ghost Emperor didn’t lose patience and jump out like in the future deduction—that was a low probability event.
The Ghost Emperor’s mind swiftly analyzed the present situation:
"Could he have fully awakened, and has Zhang Chenfeng from ten thousand years ago really returned?"
In a split second, the Ghost Emperor thought of only one possibility.
Only Zhang Chenfeng, also of the Fifth Rank, possessing Fifth-Order spiritual power, could locate him!
"Even if he’s back, he surely hasn’t fully recovered; I can sense he’s still Fourth Rank!"
"Resurrect? How many times can you resurrect?!"
"Die!"
The Ghost Emperor, without hesitation, immediately used reality modification again, aiming to erase Su Yu once more!
Even if it truly is the complete return of Zhang Chenfeng, without full recovery of his Fifth-Order Power, he can still be killed!
However, Su Yu, apparently having anticipated this, moved directly behind the Ghost Emperor before the Ghost Emperor could concentrate his power.
The Ghost Emperor’s strike missed!
"How could it be possible!"
This time, the Ghost Emperor was genuinely shocked.
His reality modification wasn’t guaranteed to hit, but needed spiritual power concentration.
Simply put, it required him to stare at Su Yu, drive his spirit, forcibly "hypnotize reality," to tell this universe that the Su Yu before him does not exist.
A hypnotized real universe thinks Su Yu doesn’t exist, making it so.
This whole process is extremely fast and always occurs within the Ghost Emperor’s consciousness, making it almost impossible to evade!
Yet somehow Su Yu, just now, preemptively anticipated the Ghost Emperor’s attack, briefly escaping his spiritual lock before the reality modification activated, avoiding the strike!
The strongest move, a certain-kill blow, was easily dodged by Su Yu; how could he not be shocked!
Even though Su Yu couldn’t see the Ghost Emperor, he could guess in his heart with a sigh:
Using a "strategy" to fight a "boss" is definitely easier.
That brief displacement was a strategy Su Yu had probed after countless future traversals.
The timing, speed, and even spiritual frequencies all have strict requirements to momentarily escape the lock and avoid the strike.
Like a player who has played a game countless times, becoming so familiar with the "boss" attack patterns that he can dodge with his eyes closed.
Now, facing the Ghost Emperor, Su Yu is that "player."
"Next, unless something unexpected happens, he will use reality modification three more times, all failing, and there will be a 21% chance of entering [Phase Two], a 47% chance of entering [Phase Three]..."
Awareness of various "strategies" passed through Su Yu’s mind.
Dealing with this "boss" Ghost Emperor, Su Yu had long been clear, knowing him better than the Ghost Emperor knows himself.
