Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1262 - 714: Inducement

Swiftly, Su Yu concluded his writing.

In an instant, a complete brain, integrated with its nervous system, erupted from Su Yu’s skull, hovering eerily like a spectral jellyfish.

Yet, Su Yu remained conscious, his awareness firmly anchored within this disembodied brain.

He had just invoked the seventeenth word from the Book of Narrative, meticulously rewriting his own setting, thereby enabling his consciousness to persist within a brain in such a paradoxical state.

"Some obscure cosmic radiation affliction..."

Su Yu contemplated his peculiar new existence, lost in silent thought.

Concurrently, he perceived a nascent consciousness stirring within his mind, striving to usurp control, but he effortlessly subjugated this intrusion.

At this juncture, his Power of Narrative had regained a measure of its former strength, granting him partial insight into the narrative's underlying setting.

Within this freshly spun narrative, Su Yu's persona was that of a humble crew member aboard a star-faring exploration vessel. While traversing the void, the entire ship fell prey to an unknown malady that inexplicably endowed the crew's brains with sentience, compelling them to abandon their physical forms.

This affliction spelled certain doom for ordinary crew members. However, for the Su Yu of this moment, it proved inconsequential, as his consciousness, now housed within a detached brain, allowed for continued survival.

Now, the enigmatic entity orchestrating events seemed capable of devising a bizarre ailment that directly impacted Su Yu.

In the inaugural narrative, a mutated virus had proven incapable of affecting Su Yu, thus forcing him to contend solely with mutated monstrosities.

In the second narrative, a 'knocking curse' had managed to infiltrate Su Yu, albeit granting him a ten-minute window for response.

In the current, third narrative, there was virtually no preparatory time; the story had barely commenced before Su Yu's brain was scripted to mutate and violently escape his cranium.

It was abundantly clear that the unseen manipulator was escalating its power, or perhaps becoming more adept at countering Su Yu's unique abilities.

Fortuitously, Su Yu himself was undergoing continuous augmentation.

He was deep in contemplation when he observed another 'jellyfish' entity drifting closer.

Su Yu's heart gave a startled lurch; he sensed formidable power emanating from these jellyfish-like beings!

Simultaneously, the Book of Narrative illuminated the established characteristics of these entities.

These peculiar creatures, evolved from detached human brains, possessed exceptionally potent spiritual energy affinities and the capacity to absorb one another to fuel their own growth.

Through a brutal series of conflicts and absorptions, only seven brain jellyfish remained aboard the ship, each possessing immense power, vastly superior to Su Yu's current capabilities.

It was evident that the brain jellyfish now present had set its sights on devouring Su Yu.

Indeed, in the following moment, Su Yu felt a potent wave of psychokinetic force surge towards him, intent on pulverizing his fragile brain-body, transforming it into mere brain jelly for the aggressor's consumption.

This force was staggeringly immense; on a planetary scale, it could cleave mountains and raze cities. Within the spiritual cultivation framework Su Yu was intimately familiar with, this constituted Third-Order level power.

While Su Yu's own spiritual energy currently barely grazed the First-Order threshold, confronting such an entity was tantamount to suicidal.

Yet, Su Yu maintained an unwavering calm. Facing a Third-Order entity with First-Order power seemed an impossible, certain-death scenario, but for Su Yu, it held no such dread.

"While the raw power is significant, the method of control is far too rudimentary..."

With a mere thought, Su Yu unleashed his own psychokinesis, condensing it into a focused stream, and delivered a seemingly casual strike, dismantling the brain jellyfish's spiritual telekinetic assault. A subsequent, effortless blow terminated the creature.

Although Su Yu's current power was drastically diminished, prior to this reduction, his capabilities were sufficient to annihilate the Infinite Universe, complemented by an unparalleled will and computational prowess for perfect control.

Even now, weakened as he was, with his will and computational faculty diminished, he remained vastly superior to common Third-Order abominations.

A simple application of a principle allows him to leverage a fraction of the opponent's power to achieve victory, exploiting flaws in their technique to trigger a butterfly effect, creating a localized breach that overwhelms their entire being.

Having vanquished the brain monster, Su Yu directed his consciousness towards absorbing its residual essence.

Despite the rapid dissipation of its power post-mortem, Su Yu successfully assimilated a substantial portion before it completely evaporated.

"My power has already rebounded to Second-Order, not too shabby..."

Su Yu expressed satisfaction and immediately commenced a sweep of the ship, actively seeking out the remaining brain jellyfish entities.

After a period of time had elapsed, Su Yu had successfully eliminated the other six monsters and absorbed their power.

At this point, Su Yu's strength had ascended back to Third-Order levels, and according to the Book of Narrative, he could now inscribe more words, reaching a total of seventy-six.

The increase in inscribed words did not directly correlate with his power augmentation, as greater power necessitated increased difficulty in rewriting the narrative setting.

"Satisfactory..."

With Third-Order power and the capacity to rewrite the story using seventy-six words, Su Yu felt considerably more secure.

His current form was still that of a brain jellyfish, an exceptionally strange sight, yet he at least possessed a decent capacity for self-preservation.

The power of Third-Order far surpassed what his previous, ordinary human state could have managed.

"Though..."

At this precise moment, Su Yu found himself somewhat perplexed.

If the clandestine entity orchestrating events had intended to end his life, it could have simply damaged the ship from the outset. Exposing Su Yu directly to the vacuum of space, with his initial First-Order power, would have surely meant his demise, wouldn't it?

Levitating in mid-air, Su Yu pondered for a moment before drifting towards his own corpse, with the intention of returning to his physical body.

Compared to floating aimlessly as a brain jellyfish, Su Yu decidedly preferred his original form.

However, just as Su Yu was about to re-enter his body, the surrounding environment underwent another abrupt alteration.

The fourth story unfolded!

"Hmm?"

Su Yu's heart constricted as he sensed an ominous shift.

Indeed, following this transformation, Su Yu remained trapped in the brain jellyfish state and did not revert to his human form.

Unable to clearly perceive his surroundings yet, Su Yu's ears were met with an enraged roar: "Alien! Perish!"

Concurrently, Su Yu witnessed a blinding streak of light hurtling towards him with a velocity exceeding ten times the speed of sound.

With a mere thought, Su Yu willed the stream of light to solidify before him, halting its trajectory mere inches from impact.

He then took in his immediate surroundings.

He found himself in the thick of a fierce battle.

A contingent of warriors clad in heavy power armor, wielding high-caliber energy weaponry, were relentlessly bombarding a horde of monstrous entities.

These abominations bore a striking resemblance to human brains, suspended in the air, with numerous root-like nerve filaments dangling beneath, writhing incessantly.

This collective of brain-like monstrosities was immense, drifting through the expanse like a "jellyfish" swarm in the vast ocean.

They continuously unleashed telekinetic assaults, contorting the armored warriors into mere puddles of flesh.

And Su Yu... was one of these very same monstrous beings.

After all, in the wake of the preceding events aboard the ship, Su Yu's brain had detached from his body, morphing into this monstrous form.

Just as Su Yu was contemplating a return to his physical vessel, the narrative shifted once more.

Within this new storyline, Su Yu's identity was no longer human, but that of a veritable monster!

"Not good; it seems the preceding narratives weren't solely focused on my demise; there was a deliberate element of inducing transformation..."

Su Yu experienced a profound realization.

Through the span of four distinct storylines, the shadowy entity manipulating events had succeeded in compelling Su Yu to disassociate from his human identity, effectively transforming him into a monstrosity!
