Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1212 - 664: Existence Hunt

The external realm, previously roaring with savage wars, burned fiercely.

Yet with Su Yu's sudden arrival, the chaos ground to a complete stop.

All creatures from the warring three civilizations froze in place, their attention snapping toward Su Yu!

Inside the river system-scale mother ship of the "Zhi Ji" civilization, where Su Yu stood, swarms of Zhi Ji biological entities filled the space.

They had been fully focused on maneuvering the battleship amid the grand conflict.

Now, however, they abandoned every task, their stares locked unblinkingly on Su Yu.

Beyond that, Su Yu sensed endless "gazes" piercing in from outside the mother ship.

Those stares filled Su Yu with a chill of unease.

It was a tangled mix of endless greed, desperate craving, deep hatred, shock...

In that instant, Su Yu inwardly sensed danger.

Right then, the scene beyond began transforming.

The mother ship, once appearing intact, now looked ruined, cracked everywhere and littered with dead bodies.

The hordes of Zhi Ji beings within turned into extinct husks, their forms withered and rotten.

The next moment, this wrecked vessel started to shimmer unstably, like a fading phantom on the verge of disappearance.

The surrounding cosmic void plunged into pitch blackness, stripped of all illumination.

Only those eerie gazes lingered on.

Suddenly, the corpses aboard the mother ship snapped open their eyes, boring into Su Yu with ferocious intensity.

Su Yu's heart filled with terror.

Evidently, the cosmic afterimages had flipped from their earlier "vibrant" phase into a sinister, warped reality.

Su Yu had picked that "vibrant" mode on purpose for scouting, figuring afterimages in vibrancy might pose less threat.

But safety proved a total myth.

The vibrancy was just a facade; this dark twist revealed the harsh reality.

Beneath those shadowy stares, Su Yu's mind started to fog over.

The primordial universe inside his awareness grew shadowed, as though some vital part was getting siphoned away.

His form, his mind, his recollections— all faced draining under the pressure of those eyes.

Not mere power or data, but something far more profound.

Whatever it was, Su Yu knew staying exposed spelled doom.

Su Yu rushed to trigger the Transcendence Domain and Cause and Effect Singularity, aiming to slip back into hiding.

As if detecting his "escape bid," the dark gazes sharpened in fury.

The pull on Su Yu's core essence sped up dramatically.

That's when Su Yu grasped exactly what they targeted.

"Existence! My very existence is vanishing!"

Su Yu reeled in silent panic.

Thanks to the ramped-up drain, he felt his "existence" ebbing clearly.

"Existence" stays vague yet real.

In reality, all things—be they substance, force, time, space, data, laws, or causality—"exist."

Su Yu had toyed with "existence" ideas dimly before.

He'd even seized linked forces: the Power of Nihility.

The Power of Nihility acts as existence's foe.

It wipes things to nothingness, stripping their "existence."

Still, the Power of Nihility itself "exists," and what it alters just shifts form, retaining "existence."

Thus, its nihility falls short of true absolutes.

But these encircling dark gazes sought total "existence" erasure from Su Yu—nihility purer than the Power of Nihility.

Not mere void, but total obliteration, absolute vanishing!

Feeling his "existence" leach away sparked a flash of insight in Su Yu:

"The Infinite Universe got wiped out long ago, its 'existence' scrubbed clean, leaving mere scraps called afterimages."

"These bio-civs suffered the same; that prior vibrancy was fake, a dream propping up their faint 'existence.'"

"Spotting me shattered their pretense."

"They crave instinctively whatever holds 'existence.'"

"My 'existence' dwarfs theirs, drawing their fixation the moment I showed."

Su Yu had it figured now.

That "vibrant" universe was pure deception, even a snare.

Designed to "hunt" types like Su Yu brimming with potent "existence."

Though Su Yu was a post-ruin remnant himself, he apparently clung to richer "existence."

He'd never suspected his own afterimage status or questioned his solidity.

Clearly, the primordial universe's "primordial" edge gave it perks.

Thus, Su Yu shone as prime loot to those afterimage remnants.

"Gotta break free fast—total drain means game over..."

Su Yu plotted inwardly, pouring max into Cause and Effect Singularity and Transcendence Domain.

Instantly, the Transcendence Domain yanked him from that universe.

But the gaze-siphons stretched past the Domain, beyond reality, still leaching Su Yu.

Still, shielded in Cause and Effect Singularity and Transcendence Domain, the "existence" drain eased greatly.

It dragged on without cease, though.

Worse, gazes now poured from neighboring universes too.

One after another, those realms dropped their vibrant guise, plunging to gloom with ravenous eyes on Su Yu.

Su Yu watched darkness devour the once-bright universes at breakneck speed.

"Spiritual Ability Limit..."

Su Yu fired his ultimate class skill anew.

His mighty spirit force got locked and suppressed in a flash.

The darkening universes ahead quaked and wavered.

Su Yu's spirit shifts altered the Infinite Universe afterimages.

Spiritual Ability Limit unveiled the ruinous truth of the Infinite Universe.

There, all "existence" thinned to near-nothing.

This made hidden gazes stand out sharper.

Su Yu beheld endless avaricious glares lancing from the devouring dark, hungry to suck dry his every scrap of existence.

Transcendence Domain shelter proved useless.

Luckily, the jammed Profession Panel stirred at last.
