Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1264 - 716: Joining the Human Faction

"It appears I need to recover at least Fifth-Order strength to boost the effectiveness of my Super-quality Conversion and absorb Super Quality at will."

"Not only that, but my Power of Destruction also requires a fundamental strength of at least Fifth-Order to function properly..."

"Furthermore, once I reach Fifth-Order, my body will be able to convert freely, negating any difference between monster and human."

"Additionally, the greater my power, the more words I can inscribe in the Book of Narrative... I must rapidly restore my Fifth-Order strength!"

While eliminating the brain monsters, Su Yu contemplated his future path.

Beyond that, he was secretly activating the Book of Narrative within his heart, attempting to discern the "story" behind this conflict.

Currently, Su Yu could inscribe seventy-six words, and by utilizing the abilities of the Book of Narrative, he could alter the narrative of this battlefield.

However, he refrained from acting impulsively, recognizing that a large-scale battlefield must possess intricate underlying logic. Hasty alterations could lead to a logical collapse, a sure path to death.

Originally, when Su Yu's strength was at its zenith, he could instantly comprehend the "background story" of the entire Universe through the power of the Book of Narrative and then implement modifications.

But now, his power was significantly diminished, and the background story presented in the Book of Narrative was concise, containing little more than a hundred words, lacking crucial details that Su Yu needed to discover himself.

At this juncture, Su Yu noticed the battlefield had grown silent.

Both humans and monsters ceased their combat, turning their attention to him.

Su Yu surveyed his surroundings and observed that he was surrounded by towering piles of brain monster corpses, the majority being Third-Order monsters, numbering in the hundreds.

In the preceding moments, he had annihilated nearly all the brain monsters within a dozen-kilometer radius.

His own strength was merely Third-Order.

Yet, drawing upon his past Cosmic Level power and experience, these monsters were no match for him, and he could obliterate them in vast numbers with a single sweeping attack.

Moreover, following the extermination of numerous brain monsters, his strength had ascended to Fourth-Order.

A battlefield predominantly populated by Third-Order combatants was suddenly graced by a Fourth-Order powerhouse, inevitably drawing attention and making concealment impossible.

However, Su Yu held no interest in hiding. Every action he took was assuredly being documented in the "Book of Narrative" operating behind the scenes, rendering any attempt at concealment futile.

Previously, he had manipulated a corpse to masquerade as human solely to evade aggression from human combatants. Now, having attained Fourth-Order strength, he possessed the capacity to dominate the battlefield, rendering such precautions unnecessary.

At this moment, the brain monsters fixed their gaze upon Su Yu, their neural tentacles quivering, betraying a palpable sense of apprehension.

Su Yu, currently in the guise of a brain monster, could interpret the "expressions" of these creatures.

Concurrently, the human warriors also observed Su Yu, their faces etched with astonishment.

A moment later, the apparent leader of the human warriors, a Third-Order powerhouse himself, inquired coldly, "Who are you? You are neither human nor a Brain Demon Alien! Why have you intruded upon this battlefield?"

It was evident that both factions had realized, amidst their fierce engagement, that an unknown entity had infiltrated their conflict.

Su Yu offered a faint smile and stated, "Do not misunderstand. Though my appearance may resemble a monster, my heart lies with humanity, and I have come to offer my aid."

Following his declaration, he moved with a thought and detached himself from the corpse, revealing his true form as a brain monster.

At this point, his power had been restored to Fourth-Order, granting him considerable control. Despite still being a brain monster, he contorted himself into a human shape.

The resulting form possessed the basic structure of a human, with limbs and a head, but its surface was adorned with the characteristic folds and ridges of a brain, and sprouting neural tentacles, rendering it more grotesque and bizarre than even a standard brain monster.

Innumerable neural tentacles erupted from Su Yu's body, ensnaring all the surrounding brain monsters and consuming them whole.

The battlefield was swiftly cleansed, with all brain monsters utterly annihilated!

Nevertheless, the human warriors grew even more wary, as Su Yu's brutal display of total annihilation was profoundly unsettling.

The brain monsters were eradicated, but a more formidable entity had arrived!

Indeed, Su Yu's tentacles stirred once more, seemingly poised for further action.

A contingent of human warriors contemplated the dire necessity of requesting orbital bombardment for their rescue.

Yet, they witnessed Su Yu's neural tentacles gently lift the corpse of a fallen warrior from the ground. He then remarked, "Apologies, I borrowed this warrior's body earlier. I am now returning it."

The expressions of the human warriors turned peculiar. Their leader, after a brief hesitation, accepted the body.

Observing that Su Yu indeed made no move to attack, and confirming through the battlefield records of their combat armor that Su Yu had not previously targeted human warriors, they felt a measure of relief wash over them.

"Could this fellow be a 'Traitor to Humanity'?"

Such thoughts arose within the minds of the human warriors. The protracted conflict between humankind and the alien races had persisted for innumerable cosmic epochs, its complexities giving rise to both "Human Traitors" and "Alien Traitors."

A Human Traitor was defined as a human who betrayed their own kind, siding with the alien monstrosities to perpetrate slaughter. Conversely, an Alien Traitor was an alien entity that yearned for humanity, desiring to become human and often displaying a loyalty exceeding that of born humans.

The peculiar alien before them appeared to embody the latter category. Yet, a lingering doubt persisted: perhaps it was merely a sophisticated ruse.

The human warriors’ minds churned with varied speculations, unaware that many of these very thoughts were being passively perceived by Su Yu. Having regained his Fourth-Order peak strength, Su Yu found employing his diverse abilities, including the telepathic capacity to read minds, to be effortless. However, these warriors’ thoughts were shielded by potent defenses, preventing Su Yu from delving deeply unless he resorted to forceful intrusion, leaving him capable only of accessing surface-level thoughts.

Even these superficial musings, however, proved sufficient for Su Yu to grasp the fundamentals of this world’s circumstances. "Alien Traitor..." he read the term, a silent chuckle escaping him internally. Considering his current monstrous visage, the designation wasn't entirely inaccurate. He resolved not to linger on the label but to swiftly process the intelligence gleaned through his telepathic probes.

"The world-building of this 'narrative' seems remarkably expansive, featuring a prolonged war between the Human Empire and the aliens..."

"Could this be the primary universe within this particular Narrative Layer?"

"The force that dispatched me here remains enigmatic, their motives unclear."

"Regardless, augmenting my power takes precedence. I am still considerably distant from attaining Fifth-Order cultivation. Perhaps journeying with these humans to confront more alien creatures will be sufficient."

Su Yu, now at the Fourth-Order peak, was still eons away from the Fifth-Order Planet-Level. His current power progression was achieved solely through assimilation and accumulation, a quantitative expansion lacking the qualitative leap conferred by a specialized advancement ritual. Consequently, he required the consumption of more monster Spiritual Energy to facilitate his promotion.

These human combatants could serve as instrumental aids in locating additional monsters, thereby enabling Su Yu to enhance his cultivation. Thus, donning his monstrous form, Su Yu conjured a chilling grin. "My esteemed human comrades, though I may hail from an alien species, my heart too desires to serve the Empire. I wonder if..."

As Su Yu articulated these words, he subtly began to re-script the unfolding events, altering the established setting within his own consciousness. Having gained insight into the foundational backstory, Su Yu recognized his capacity to introduce modifications to certain aspects of the world’s premise. This maneuver would allow him to leverage his alien identity to infiltrate and join the ranks of humanity.
