Chapter 277: The Cost of Power! The "Gift" Left by Choumo!
Although Su Yu had just attempted to control the timeline once, he didn't show the slightest yearning for that supreme power.
He made up his mind that he wouldn't try to control the power of the timeline again in the short term.
Playing with death is not an option!
The power to control the timeline sounds immensely powerful, almost like a true creator god.
But Su Yu knew it was too dangerous.
Don't be fooled by how easily Su Yu just killed the Vengeance Demon.
But conversely, with just a little mishap, it would have been Su Yu who died.
It's really gambling with life!
No! It's downright suicide!
Previously, Su Yu tried to close off all perception to become quantumized, which was also extremely dangerous.
But actually, Su Yu still had the Profession Panel as a trump card, assuring himself that he could still wake up after closing off perception.
But this time controlling the timeline, Su Yu really had no trump card, no reliance at all.
The Profession Panel had no related function.
He didn't even remember the Profession Panel at the time.
At that moment, Su Yu just relied on some analytical calculations, and resolutely killed himself, trying to use his own death to break the impasse.
Simply insane to the extreme.
Although in the end, Su Yu was reborn from death and successfully revived, even counter-killing the formidable enemy, Vengeance Demon.
But this situation was not Su Yu's original intent.
Su Yu's previous risky attempt wasn't to kill the Vengeance Demon.
Although Vengeance Demon was strong, it wasn't worth such desperation.
The real reason Su Yu risked his life was to understand whether time and destiny could really be changed!
This answer was what made it worth risking everything.
Fortunately, the answer is now out!
Destiny can be changed!
"Destiny is not predestined, what a piece of good news..."
Su Yu felt immense joy in his heart at this moment.
Not because he killed a great enemy, but because he knew his destiny was free!
Destiny can be altered!
"However, if I can change it, others strong enough should also be able to change it!"
"I still need to quickly enhance my power, otherwise, if someone else does this one day and alters my timeline, that would be dangerous..."
Su Yu reminded himself.
He's only at eight-star strength now and yet, with the help of quantumization, he can manipulate the timeline.
Could even stronger Transcendents do it too?
Could the Brutal Evil God do it too?
Thinking of this, Su Yu felt an increasing sense of crisis.
The previous joy vanished completely, and his mood instantly became extremely heavy.
Su Yu even had the illusion that at the end of the timeline, the Brutal Evil God was reaching out with an evil hand, trying to erase Su Yu from the timeline while laughing wildly.
It wasn't just the Brutal Evil God; Su Yu seemed to feel countless greedy and sinister eyes staring at him from outside the timeline, trying to devour him.
A mass of terrifying and twisted images flashed through Su Yu's mind.
Su Yu immediately felt a coolness rising from the bottom of his heart, making his whole body tremble and almost suffocate, desperately wanting to head to the end of the timeline to see what's going on.
"Can't be paranoid!"
"Being able to change destiny doesn't seem to be entirely a good thing."
"This feeling is really unpleasant!"
Su Yu quickly realized something was wrong. He hurriedly calmed his spirit to stop himself from overthinking.
But it didn't help much.
Right now, Su Yu seemed to have symptoms of "victim complex."
Knowing destiny can change, having such worries is entirely normal.
If Su Yu can change destiny, so can others!
And when others alter the timeline, he wouldn't know or see it.
Just like the Vengeance Demon, he died not knowing how he died, and even after death, he wasn't aware he was dead!
It's only natural to worry and be anxious about this.
Under normal circumstances, with Su Yu's Stability, he wouldn't lose his composure like this.
But this bizarre experience subjected his Spirit to too much shock, causing these uncontrollable thoughts.
"Wait? Perhaps this is some kind of aftereffect of controlling the timeline?"
Su Yu suddenly had an inspiration and thought of a possibility.
His current emotional state might not just be a psychological issue.
It might be the cost of power!
After all, with such a powerful ability to control the timeline, if there were no cost, it would seem unrealistic.
And the cost might be... sanity?
"Calm down! Calm down!"
Thinking that this might be the cost of time power, Su Yu quickly used the power of the Ghost Hidden Blade, using that nihilistic deathly emotion to calm the waves in his heart.
Under normal circumstances, Su Yu would not use Extraordinary Power to influence his own emotions, to avoid dependency.
He would only use the origin emotion power of Ghost Hidden Blade: Power of Nihility when facing mental pollution from Evil Gods.
This power, in essence, is nothingness, an absence of emotion.
So it can calm various mental pollutions.
However, this time, the otherwise invincible Power of Nihility proved somewhat ineffective.
Even with the use of the Power of Nihility, Su Yu's worry and anxiety still did not dissipate.
Fortunately, after Su Yu "increased the dosage," he finally quelled those paranoid emotions.
"Finally calmed down."
Su Yu let out a long breath, calming down.
And this also confirmed his previous speculation.
These negative emotions of "victim complex" are certainly not ordinary psychological issues.
Ordinary worry and anxiety would be instantly calmed by the Power of Nihility.
Su Yu, as an Evil God, could maintain his humanity, showing the strength of the origin emotion of the Ghost Hidden Blade.
And just now, it took Su Yu using a lot of Power of Nihility to barely calm down, which clearly wasn't normal.
