Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic

Chapter 277: The Price of Power! The "Gift" Left by Choumo!_2



It was clear that some powerful Extraordinary Power was at work.

This Extraordinary Power should be the cost of altering the timeline.

This cost seems insignificant, just some negative emotions.

But Su Yu knew that this cost was actually very heavy.

Because rationality is more important than power for a Transcendent.

That recent paranoia, if it got any worse, Su Yu might have gone crazy.

Fortunately, Su Yu had self-healing methods, otherwise if time dragged on, the problem would have been serious.

"This is good news, having a severe cost is also a kind of restriction. There's no need to worry that other powerful beings will casually change my timeline..."

Su Yu muttered to himself and became a bit calmer.

Destiny can be changed, and that is a good thing.

But if it could be changed without any cost, that would be the most terrifying.

As it stands, destiny can be changed, but at a huge cost.

This is what truly gave Su Yu a sense of security.

After calming his mood, Su Yu did not take any other actions, nor did he check for any spoils left by the dead demon.

He stood still, lost in thought.

He was recalling the memories from when he manipulated the timeline earlier.

Those memories, though they happened not long ago.

But recalling them now, Su Yu felt a bit hazy about them.

Su Yu knew that this was normal.

Because everything outside the timeline is too abstract.

The so-called "timeline" is not a line at all, nor is it something that exists in reality.

It's fundamentally impossible to describe or recall it with a normal state of mind, or even accurately record it.

Su Yu could maintain some vague recollections because of his powerful strength and strong spirit.

Otherwise, he might have forgotten everything upon returning.

Even so, he didn't dare to delay too long, fearing that after a while, he would really forget everything.

He could only immediately start pondering and analyzing.

"Speaking of which, the timeline I saw earlier, the various scenes in it, all seem to relate to myself."

"The entire timeline certainly doesn't only have such little content."

"After all, I'm not the center of the Universe."

"So, the timeline I saw earlier, was it actually... unique to myself?"

After pondering for a moment, Su Yu analyzed a key point!

What he saw earlier was just his own timeline!

The various scenes in it were all related to Su Yu.

Although other people appeared, like the demon, they were merely passersby, whereas Su Yu was the protagonist of that timeline.

"Could it be that because I am the protagonist of this timeline, I can easily change it?"

Su Yu muttered to himself.

He had always felt that changing the timeline seemed a bit too easy!

Although he went through life and death and bore a huge cost.

But... it was still too easy! Who wouldn't fight for their life? Can fighting for your life change the timeline?

Even though Su Yu didn't have time-related abilities, by sheer willpower alone, he could change the future and miraculously kill the nine-star demon?

Isn't that too easy? Is it achievable just by fighting desperately?

But now, Su Yu had an answer in mind.

That answer was, Su Yu was the protagonist of that timeline, and because it was his home ground, he could alter the "field."

And the demon was just a passerby, which is why Su Yu could kill it so easily.

"If that's the case, if the demon also had the ability to see the timeline, what it saw would be completely different from what I saw."

"In the demon's timeline, it is also the protagonist."

"Could it be that everyone... no! Perhaps every stone, every leaf, has its own unique timeline?"

"Countless timelines converging together, forming... the river of time?"

Su Yu pondered deeply.

In his consciousness, he imagined countless abstract lines.

These lines intertwined to form a river that spanned ancient times and traversed the Universe.

That is the legendary river of time!

Of course, this was all just Su Yu's imagination.

Su Yu could only see his own timeline, not a single one belonging to others, let alone the complete river of time.

This was actually good news.

It meant that if other powerful beings wanted to kill Su Yu by altering the timeline, it would be much harder.

Just like the demon, if it hadn't appeared today, Su Yu could only stare blankly.

Because Su Yu could only change the forward direction of the current timeline.

With the demon appearing, Su Yu changed the direction of the timeline to "demon's death" in order to kill it.

If the demon didn't appear and wasn't in the current timeline, there would be nothing he could do.

Su Yu's ability, in essence, is to alter the "future."

The future requires "now" as a foundation.

If Su Yu were a bit more powerful, able to change the past and kill the demon of the past, it wouldn't need to be so complicated.

Or perhaps if Su Yu could directly alter the demon's timeline, he could easily kill it.

But as for how to reach that realm, Su Yu himself didn't know.

"It seems that on the path of time, I've only just taken a small step. I can only change my own timeline, and can only alter the future, not the past."

"If I could see others' timelines and interfere with them, that would count as a big step."

"If I could influence the entire river of time, that would be the true divine power, but I don't even know if such power truly exists."

Su Yu roughly divided the power related to timelines into three major levels.

He was still at the first small level.

And even this first small level, Su Yu had a long way to go.

As for the following two major levels, Su Yu didn't even know if they really existed, let alone whether he could reach them.

"Forget it... I won't think about it anymore..."

After thinking through all of this repeatedly and confirming nothing was missed, Su Yu decided not to dwell further.

No matter how much he pondered now, it was impossible to derive more insights.

He could only wait for future exploration.

Then, Su Yu looked up into the sky.

The demon was now deceased, completely dissipated.

It didn't seem to have a real body, leaving not even a corpse after death.

However, it didn't mean it left nothing behind.

It left behind a very important "thing," and that was... Su Yu's doppelgänger!

That's right, that doppelgänger did not disappear!

With a move, Su Yu came before the doppelgänger and observed it carefully.

This doppelgänger was the key to the demon's ritual, crafted perfectly, even possessing power similar to Su Yu's own!

Even the Origin Power of the Evil God's Bone from the Ghost Hidden Blade, it actually had!

Su Yu suspected this doppelgänger wasn't made by the demon.

Rather, it was summoned from past history using a technique similar to the Power of Time.

The power of this doppelgänger and its origin held immense value.

Moreover, this doppelgänger was imbued by the demon with all its memories!

All the demon's secrets, including the Time Drifter's ritual, were hidden within this doppelgänger!

This doppelgänger was the best "gift" the demon could leave for Su Yu.

With this doppelgänger, even without mentioning the abundant memories and knowledge it contained, Su Yu's power essentially doubled!

Of course, this was limited to the body's power, not counting battle armor.

Because Su Yu didn't have a second suit of Brutal Battle Armor for the doppelgänger to wear.

"Not necessarily, the true technical challenge of the Brutal Battle Armor lies in the energy source."

"Now that I have the technology for Energy Crystals, it's enough to create a new Brutal Battle Armor..."

An idea suddenly popped into Su Yu's mind.

Create a second suit of Brutal Battle Armor!

The combat power of the Brutal Battle Armor mainly relies on the strong Ghost Energy output of the Brutal Core.

And now, with the Energy Crystal given by Zhang Chenfeng, the energy problem is easily solved, and creating another Brutal Battle Armor is no longer a dream!

It's even possible to mass-produce the Brutal Battle Armor!

Su Yu previously had the idea of mass-producing the Seven-Star Battle Armor, and now that the demon's been dealt with, this can be put on the agenda!

It's just a pity that another key material for the Brutal Battle Armor: the Evil God's Bone, might be hard to obtain.

New Brutal Battle Armor might not match the strength of the original.

But no matter, victory can be achieved through sheer numbers!

By then, hundreds or thousands of Brutal Battle Armors flying about, who could resist?

Su Yu was delightfully imagining, feeling more and more pleased.
