Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1268 - 720: Spirit Beast Clan
Previously on Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic...
Su Yu had only recently departed from the prior mother ship, yet the details of that encounter were already becoming hazy. He couldn't even recall the name of the Fourth-Order commander, or any of the others present.
"It seems they were merely insignificant characters, entirely peripheral to the main narrative..."
After a moment of reflection, Su Yu grasped the situation clearly.
In this current universe, the overarching narrative exerts a profound influence, making this phenomenon quite apparent.
Individuals lacking a specific role in the story are inherently forgettable.
Nevertheless, Su Yu made a conscious effort to imprint the memories of those warriors and commanders within his mind.
Having formed a connection with them, he resolved that should they perish in the future, he would resurrect them once his strength was fully restored.
Similarly, many individuals from the lower narrative stratum's Transcendence Council were presently dormant within Su Yu's consciousness, preserved in this manner.
However, Su Yu's current weakness rendered him incapable of their resurrection; this would only be achievable in the future.
Three and a half months elapsed before the modest spacecraft Su Yu occupied reached the central nexus of the galaxy river.
Here, the Constant Star Systems were exceedingly dense, teeming with numerous Life Planets.
In the distance, Su Yu observed an colossal warship, itself constructed from millions of planets.
This warship spanned the breadth and length of a Light Level entity, incorporating countless Constant Stars as its power source. From afar, it resembled a heavily concentrated celestial expanse, its true nature as a gargantuan warship only discernible upon closer approach.
This vessel loomed before Su Yu, akin to an impenetrable cosmic barrier.
Upon beholding the warship, Su Yu knew he had reached his destination.
While the warship was immense, Su Yu had previously encountered and even constructed vessels of greater scale, thus his astonishment was tempered. Despite this, he maintained a vigilant stance, prepared to employ narrative force for an escape should the warship initiate hostilities.
Following his recent confrontations with alien entities, Su Yu's narrative capabilities had advanced to the point where he could now author stories exceeding five hundred words.
If fully unleashed, this power could effortlessly annihilate the vessel of this Light Grade warship. It possessed the potential to even manipulate the narrative to obliterate the entire galaxy river, or perhaps the universe itself, given sufficient narrative information.
It was precisely this capability that instilled Su Yu's confidence in venturing here. Otherwise, relying solely on his current Fourth-Order cultivation, even a planet-level adversary would pose a significant challenge.
The potency of narrative transcends conventional measurements of Spiritual Energy levels.
Admittedly, despite its strength, excessive application could precipitate a degree of logical inconsistency.
Consequently, Su Yu refrained from employing this power on a grand scale unless absolutely unavoidable, having experienced detrimental consequences previously.
Subsequently, the Light Grade mother ship projected guiding beams of light, directing Su Yu's small spacecraft into its interior.
The interior of the mother ship was extraordinarily expansive, resembling a diminutive universe unto itself. It harbored trillions of inhabitants, comprising both humans and allied alien species. Su Yu perceived numerous formidable presences within, estimating the presence of quite a few cultivators at the Fifth and even Sixth Order.
He, a mere Fourth-Order cultivator, had arrived here without causing the slightest disturbance.
No one approached Su Yu upon his arrival; instead, the ship's integrated intelligent system commenced the distribution of combat assignments.
Shortly thereafter, Su Yu was allocated a mission: to escort seven hundred Fourth-Order warriors into a specific Constant Star System to eradicate the local Spirit Beast Clan.
"This assignment is quite favorable..."
Su Yu found himself pleased with this particular mission, anticipating an encounter with an enemy threat at the Fifth-Order level.
By absorbing the enemy's Spiritual Energy, he could potentially restore his own cultivation to the Fifth-Order realm.
The Fifth-Order represented a crucial threshold. Once attained, Su Yu would satisfy the prerequisite for various abilities and experience a dramatic acceleration in his recovery rate.
From there, he anticipated a swift progression through the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Orders, potentially even advancing to Cosmic and transcending those levels.
At that juncture, Su Yu would be firmly established within this narrative plane.
However, his immediate objective was the successful completion of the current mission.
Soon, seven hundred smaller spacecraft, including Su Yu's, departed from the Light Grade mother ship, setting course for the territory of the Spirit Beast Clan.
Each Fourth-Order human warrior possessed their own individual spacecraft, negating the need for collective transport on a mother ship.
The Light Grade mother ship, in conjunction with other similar vessels, formed a formidable bulwark, effectively bisecting the galaxy river.
This demarcation line separated human dominion from the territory of the Spirit Beast Clan.
Su Yu was now venturing beyond human borders to launch a campaign against the Spirit Beast Clan.
The journey to the designated objective was projected to span three days. During this transit, Su Yu engaged in conversation with his fellow human warriors, finding them to be a rather unremarkable cohort solely preoccupied with combat. Consequently, Su Yu's interest waned, and he shifted his focus to researching intelligence pertaining to the enemy.
Even if his companions remained unnamed, the Spirit Beast Clan, a prominent member among the three supreme alien races, was indeed a significant entity deserving of Su Yu's full attention.
Through diligent investigation, Su Yu acquired a comprehensive understanding of the Spirit Beast Clan's nature.
This particular clan was not a monolithic entity; rather, it comprised a diverse tapestry of origins.
They were a collective born from the natural beings of various planets spontaneously awakening Spiritual Energy, thereby achieving sentience and subsequently banding together.
Consequently, the Spirit Beast Clan exhibited immense diversity, not solely in their outward appearances but fundamentally in their composition—encompassing carbon-based, iron-based, silicon-based, and a myriad of other forms of life.
Despite this heterogeneity, they universally identified as the Spirit Beast Clan and maintained a remarkably high degree of internal solidarity.
While their awakening from natural life forms granted them Spiritual Energy and consciousness, it did not equate to profound wisdom.
To put it plainly, their limited intelligence served as a significant vulnerability.
Logically, one might anticipate a rudimentary technological level due to their deficient intellect.
However, this was far from the reality.
Notwithstanding their cognitive limitations, they possessed a unique faculty reminiscent of 'wish fulfillment'.
They were capable of fabricating technological devices without a deep grasp of the underlying principles; if they conceived that a device could function, it invariably did.
Even when these creations appeared haphazard and resembled mere scraps, they performed effectively and demonstrated considerable power.
These contraptions could only be operated by members of the Spirit Beast Clan; should humans intercept them, they would simply revert to being useless junk.
This inherent capability of the Spirit Beast Clan extended beyond technological manufacturing to their prowess in combat.
Their conviction of their own strength manifested as actual strength. If they held the belief that they were not deceased, they remained so.
On occasion, a First-Order Spirit Beast Clan member, despite having a fractured skull and exposed brain matter, would continue to fight if they were not informed of their critical condition, remaining oblivious to their injuries.
Therefore, when engaging the Spirit Beast Clan in battle, the crucial tactic involved promptly informing them of their demise after delivering a decisive blow: 'You have already perished...'
The Spirit Beast Clan truly represented a distinct and peculiar species, a fact that underscored their position as one of the three supreme alien races.
Upon absorbing this information about the Spirit Beast Clan's peculiar intelligence, Su Yu experienced a peculiar sensation.
'Doesn't the Spirit Beast Clan's ability bear a striking resemblance to... narrative causality?'
