Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1271 - 723: Annihilation
Previously on Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic...
With that thought, Su Yu quickly consulted his own Book of Narrative.
The Book of Narrative possesses the ability to directly verify "story settings," its accuracy far exceeding any technological scanner.
Even though Su Yu's current strength was limited, the Book of Narrative could still survey stories spanning millions of kilometers.
Within Su Yu's Book of Narrative, the Spirit Beast Clan members were indeed recorded as deceased.
However, at this precise moment, Su Yu experienced a sudden jolt of alarm as he noticed discrepancies in the text detailing the Spirit Beast Clan's demise!
The characters appeared somewhat disordered, with inconsistencies in grammar, formatting, and other aspects.
The writings that documented stories in Su Yu's Book of Narrative were always in the human language he was most familiar with, and their grammatical structure had invariably been impeccable.
After all, this was not just any narrative; it chronicled the authentic "story" of the real world and demanded absolute precision.
Yet, what Su Yu was observing now, the text concerning the Spirit Beast Clan members, lacked such exactitude; the grammar was somewhat chaotic, and even the punctuation seemed askew.
This was truly an astonishing development – how could the records within the Book of Narrative be so crude?
While the overall gist of the narrative remained intact, clearly stating that the Spirit Beast Clan members were already dead, Su Yu couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss.
He covertly channeled his power, further disintegrating the remnants left behind by the deceased Spirit Beast Clan members until only their fundamental particles remained.
In truth, Su Yu had considered employing his Power of Destruction or Super-quality Conversion for a more thorough obliteration, but such an endeavor would consume considerable time, and with the current situation so uncertain, he could ill afford such delays.
Thus, without further hesitation, Su Yu followed the others into the Spirit Beast Clan's star system.
Upon entering the star system, the group immediately made course for several verdant, life-bearing planets, intending to utterly eradicate the Spirit Beast Clan residing there.
At this juncture, a multitude of Spirit Beast Clan members began to emerge in waves from these life-sustaining planets, propelling wooden vessels or utilizing peculiar wooden shovels for hyperspace jumps, all while unleashing fierce war cries as they charged toward the approaching group.
The group swiftly initiated a brutal massacre, unleashing a torrent of potent abilities.
These Fourth-Order Warriors were all seasoned combatants, wielding immense power.
They had uniformly undergone the Imperial biochemical transformation, their bodies augmented with numerous Extraordinary Organs, elevating them to the Fourth-Order level.
Seven hundred individuals of the Fourth-Order launched a full-scale assault, their combined might approaching that of the Fifth-Order, a force capable of obliterating an entire planet.
Despite the Spirit Beast Clan's peculiar nature, they were rapidly annihilated under the onslaught of the group's overwhelming power.
It appeared that as the group penetrated the star system, the strange evolutionary trajectory of the Spirit Beast Clan had ceased, their strength remaining at the previously observed level.
Consequently, the battle proceeded smoothly, with no casualties incurred by the attacking force.
The Spirit Beast Clan seemed truly depleted, exhibiting no further new transformations.
The group efficiently annihilated every last member of the Spirit Beast Clan across several life-bearing planets.
The once vibrant green planets were transformed into dark red, molten "glass spheres" by the intense heat generated from the spiritual energy wielded by the Fourth-Order powerhouses.
Su Yu, blending in with the ranks, attacked while continuously observing, his frown deepening with each passing moment.
He noted that the record of this very battle within the Book of Narrative remained grammatically flawed and disorganized.
And it seemed to be deteriorating further.
"Something is wrong here; everyone, retreat immediately!"
Su Yu suddenly declared over the battle channel.
The others, who had initially planned to continue their search for any potential escapees, were all taken aback by Su Yu's urgent warning.
Even though they couldn't pinpoint the source of the dread, and with no other living beings present in the star system besides themselves, an inexplicable sense of terror washed over them.
Thus, the entire group heeded Su Yu's prompt and rapidly accelerated towards the exterior of the star system.
And then...
There was no 'then.'
All seven hundred Fourth-Order Warriors, including Su Yu, vanished instantaneously.
In the subsequent moment, the Spirit Beast Clan's star system reverted to its original state, with lush, green life planets appearing vibrant and teeming with vitality.
Groups of Spirit Beast Clan members were seen leisurely navigating the star system in their wooden vessels.
The only element conspicuously absent were the human warriors from before.
All the human warriors had been utterly annihilated.
"What just happened?"
Outside the star system, Su Yu gazed towards the Spirit Beast Clan's star system, now a light-year distant, his brow deeply furrowed.
The Su Yu who had entered the star system moments ago was not his true physical body.
Given that the star system's anomaly was palpable, how could he possibly enter without caution?
Naturally, a clone was brought into existence.
A fraction of his own energy was partitioned, and with the aid of Super-quality Conversion, a new body was meticulously crafted.
Su Yu, originally a Fourth-Order Top, still maintained the Fourth-Order Level after this division of energy, which was more than enough to fulfill the assigned task.
This clone possessed a degree of self-awareness but was not directly linked to Su Yu’s own consciousness.
Su Yu maintained control through the Book of Narrative.
Created entirely by Su Yu, this clone's appearance was defined within the confines of Su Yu’s 'story' within the Book of Narrative.
Su Yu directed the clone's actions by inscribing them into the Book of Narrative.
This method of control offered immense discretion and security; without a power capable of breaching the Narrative Layer, the mastermind, Su Yu, would remain undetected.
Due to the current limitations on the number of words Su Yu could inscribe, the clone’s actions within the star system were deliberately restricted, primarily involving following the general assault. This was a strategic measure to conserve the limited inscription capacity, ensuring a swift reaction capability should unforeseen circumstances arise.
Through this meticulously crafted 'character', Su Yu extended the observational reach of the Book of Narrative deep into the star system.
The clone's purpose was not combat, but rather 'map exploration'.
The star system was an environment Su Yu could not simply infiltrate; the observational prowess of the Book of Narrative was not yet sufficiently developed, only capable of reaching a few million kilometers, falling short of the star system's expanse.
Consequently, the creation of a clone to serve as a 'character' was necessitated, allowing this character to venture into the star system.
This act, in turn, enabled the star system to materialize within Su Yu’s narrative, thereby achieving the desired observation.
Moments ago, as Su Yu’s clone and the other Fourth-Order Warriors vanished, the narrative pertaining to the clone within Su Yu’s Book of Narrative also dematerialized, ceasing to exist.
This phenomenon caused Su Yu to furrow his brow.
For… could a narrative already inscribed in the Book of Narrative possibly vanish into thin air?
What fundamental principle governed this occurrence?
Based on Su Yu’s accumulated experience, the narratives within the Book of Narrative were designed to continuously progress forward.
The concept of 'rewriting' a story essentially entailed inscribing a new Chapter upon the existing narrative, integrating new settings and plot points to reshape the story.
Whether the introduction of new settings and plot elements would lead to a logical paradox was a separate consideration.
Nevertheless, past events within the narrative were immutable, beyond any possibility of modification or deletion.
However, the events that transpired within the Spirit Beast Clan star system now defied this established principle.
