Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1151 - 603: Saintly Sin

The mirror image seeks to tempt Su Yu through baseless assurances.

Su Yu brushes off the image completely, turning to the vital inquiry instead: "Who are you? Or rather, what are you?"

"Where is this place? What’s your purpose for bringing me here?"

Confronted by Su Yu’s rapid-fire queries, the reflected version of Su Yu in the mirror let out two sinister chuckles before responding, "Me? Of course, I am you..."

Su Yu sneered inwardly. Was he truly going to fall for such deception?

Nevertheless, the image appeared earnest, reiterating firmly, "Su Yu, I am you!"

Surprisingly, it was aware of Su Yu’s name.

This detail left Su Yu inwardly alert, wondering if it had accessed fragments of his memories.

Next, the mirror image clarified, "Su Yu, you have encountered the God of Objects and grasped their true nature. Only moments ago, you personally eliminated one."

"You just asked who I am? I’ll tell you—I am a True God within the Subspace, a similar existence to the God of Objects but even stronger..."

Listening to this, Su Yu’s brow furrowed lightly as he pieced together the image’s explanation.

The God of Objects serves as a divinity in the pure Material Universe, essentially a manifestation of its laws, possessing tremendous might.

This mirror image claims resemblance to the God of Objects, except as a deity hailing from the Subspace.

From this, it follows that the mirror image must represent some law embodied in the Subspace as well.

An entity of such caliber, rivaling the God of Objects, explains why it dangled such lofty temptations before Su Yu.

Assuming, of course, that it’s not inflating its claims or fabricating tales.

Su Yu reflected briefly before stating, "So you’re a Subspace Evil God?"

A Subspace divinity embodying laws immediately reminded Su Yu of the earlier Brutal Evil God and Pain Evil God.

Those entities appeared to match the mirror image’s description, though their power paled far in comparison to it.

"I am a True God, not an Evil God."

"Do not compare me with those ants."

The mirror image hastened to stress this point.

Hearing that, Su Yu gave a nod, showing his grasp; this entity qualifies as a formidable Subspace Evil God.

Should this mirror Evil God surpass River System Level in power, it would be entirely apt to dismiss Brutality and Pain as mere ants.

The disparity between River System Level and Fifth-Order Planet Level looms vast, akin to titans versus insects.

Yet no matter its insistence, given its ties to Subspace, Su Yu labels it an Evil God outright.

Regarding its claim of being a True God, Su Yu dismisses it entirely.

Su Yu then inquired, "Since you claim to be a True God, what is your divine function?"

In response, the mirror image grinned and replied, "Divine function? Su Yu, tell me, from an ordinary person to now, becoming a being far beyond ordinary life, what did you rely on?"

This prompted Su Yu to sink into contemplation.

What had he depended on? Naturally, the Profession Panel; absent it, death would have claimed him repeatedly.

Yet evidently, the mirror image meant something else.

Was the mirror image’s divine function the Profession Panel? That seemed utterly implausible.

Thus, Su Yu swiftly discerned the image’s intent.

Drawing from past encounters, Subspace Evil Gods’ divine functions typically involve thoughts, emotions, and similar aspects.

The mirror image’s divine function likely follows suit.

In Su Yu’s path thus far, aside from the Profession Panel, the key element had been his relentless drive to grow stronger.

This drive held even greater significance than the Profession Panel itself.

Lacking it, the Profession Panel alone wouldn’t spur self-advancement or the tackling of challenges, resulting in inertia.

For this mirror image, its divine function and core essence stem precisely from that drive to strengthen oneself!

Grasping this fully, a subtle jolt coursed through Su Yu’s mind.

Such a divine function appears vastly superior to those of Brutality or Pain!

Every being or civilization, to survive, persistently develops and refines itself to withstand the unforgiving cosmos.

Failure to do so invites inevitable doom.

Hence, these universal endeavors toward self-enhancement fall squarely under the mirror image’s divine function.

Furthermore, differing from earlier figures like Brutality or Pain, this mirror image isn’t limited to the Azure Star System.

All life across the cosmos serves as sustenance for this mirror image.

Consequently, the might of this self-styled True God mirror image defies comprehension.

Su Yu declared gravely, "I understand what you mean."

"Then, what do you mean when you say you are me?"

The mirror image explained, "It’s simple. The mirror you see is not my true form but rather a projection of my divine power within your heart."

"Therefore, I am you."

Now Su Yu comprehended. In essence, a fractured psyche.

Evidently, this Evil God governing the urge to advance employed its influence to cleave a persona from Su Yu.

That persona manifests as the mirror image.

In earlier times, an unwitting persona split would have alarmed Su Yu.

However, after enduring numerous trials, odd techniques such as persona fractures, mind control hypnosis, temporal reversal, memory wiping... these bewildering tactics have assaulted him repeatedly.

At present, despite this unidentified Evil God’s potency, its approaches fail to astonish Su Yu.

"So, what do you actually want?"

Su Yu posed the pivotal query.

The mirror image grinned and declared, "What do I want? Of course, to help you become stronger!"

"Su Yu, you have immense potential, too much potential!"

"You could completely become an existence like my true form, overlooking the universe, above all civilizations."

"So, accept me and merge with me. I’ll make you grow at an inconceivable speed until you stand shoulder to shoulder with my true form..."

"Everything I showed you earlier wasn’t an illusion but a real projection! As long as you accept, you will eventually have that kind of power!"

By now, the mirror image’s tone brimmed with persuasion.

Still, Su Yu’s face stayed impassive as he replied, "I refuse."

Though eager to grow stronger, he had no desire to depend on an enigmatic Evil God’s strength.

Abruptly, the mirror image’s speech ceased.

Soon after, it sounded somewhat baffled, "Why?"

Su Yu responded, "Since you say I have potential, then I can improve myself. Why rely on your power?"

"If I don’t have the ability to improve myself, then I have no potential and am not worthy of your investment of power."

"So, no matter what, I refuse."

The mirror image fell quiet at once, then, after a pause, it appeared to exhale, "I knew it would be like this."

"In that case, you may go. I hope the future you can surprise me..."

"Remember, my name... Saintly Sin!"
