Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 756 - 381: The Requirements of a 5th-Level Ritual, Conflict Over Population!_2

Anyway, they were enemies, so Su Yu wouldn’t be polite to them.

Su Yu’s current strength was extremely powerful, his spiritual power transforming into data information, silent and invisible. These people didn’t notice anything amiss and had their brains thoroughly searched by Su Yu.

However, the Ghost Emperor lived up to his reputation as a veteran expert from ten thousand years ago, fully prepared.

In these people’s brains, some kind of encryption program had been set. If any critical information was triggered, it would immediately explode their brains, destroying all information.

Even for non-critical information, there were some errors and misguidance, mixing truth with falsehoods, making it difficult for anyone to obtain genuine intelligence even after searching their memories.

Fortunately, Su Yu was also deeply versed in memory and information research.

He had previously killed the Enemy Demon and obtained career information related to memory. Coupled with being a Manifestation Mechanic, he was also powerful in the field of data.

In a short time, he tried various decryption methods on these people’s brains.

In a short time, Su Yu’s mind calculated over a billion times, acquiring some critical information from their brains without triggering the explosion program.

Only then did Su Yu learn that these people’s mission was to enter the ruins of the Giant God Soldier Army’s base, transform and develop it into a new city, becoming the new capital of the Ghost Empire!

These people were just precursors sent to scout. Once they finished surveying the area’s status, the Ghost Emperor would come in person.

As for why the Ghost Emperor wanted to abandon his original lair and come here to establish a new capital, Su Yu didn’t know.

These people themselves probably didn’t know the real reason; only the Ghost Emperor himself knew his purpose.

Apart from this information, Su Yu also obtained another key piece of information.

The entire Ghost Empire, besides the Ghost Emperor himself, indeed had other people resurrected with him!

There were ten generals among them, three thousand Forbidden Guards, and a million-strong army!

The people in front of Su Yu were members of that million-strong army.

These were specifically sealed and put into hibernation by the Ghost Emperor before his death.

Only now, with the Ghost Emperor’s resurrection, were they awakened.

Among them, the stronger their strength, the stronger the seal, requiring more time to unseal.

Even the Ghost Emperor himself hadn’t fully regained his peak state.

They were truly archaic strongmen resurrected, and there were various difficulties in completely restoring them.

However, most of the million-strong army consisted of ordinary Spiritual Users, so it wasn’t too troublesome; now over half had been unsealed.

The thousands of people were an elite battle group sent here to scout, but unfortunately, they ran into Su Yu and were taken out in one fell swoop by him.

"The Ghost Emperor’s power is truly astounding!"

Su Yu digested this information, marveling inwardly.

Only now did he know for the first time just how powerful the Ghost Emperor was.

The exact strength of the Ghost Emperor was unknown, but his ten generals were at the Fourth Rank level!

All three thousand Forbidden Guards possessed seven-star or higher strength!

The million-strong army had an average six-star armor!

This was the true power of the Ghost Empire!

The seven-star army Su Yu had always dreamed of, the Ghost Empire had already realized ten thousand years ago!

The encryption level of this information wasn’t high, as if the Ghost Emperor deliberately wanted to tell Su Yu, perhaps to scare him a bit?

But Su Yu was not overly surprised by the Ghost Emperor’s power being this formidable.

To be able to unify a planet, establish the Ghost Empire, and even outsmart the Brutal Evil God, how could he be weak?

Su Yu could not be intimidated by such power.

"You may leave."

Su Yu said again.

Although these people didn’t answer Su Yu’s questions, he had already gotten the answers, so there was no need to keep them.

Then, with a thought, Su Yu sent these people flying out again, far away from Mechanical City, landing on the ground.

Initially, the Ghost Emperor infiltrated Mechanical City with no ill intentions but did not kill anyone.

Su Yu captured his subordinates and, returning the favor, let them go back safely.

As for those criminals, there would be a day of reckoning eventually, so there was no rush.

Those Ghost Emperor’s subordinates hadn’t yet reacted when they felt a powerful force, and then the scenery in front of them rapidly receded. By the time everything calmed down, they had distanced themselves several hundred kilometers from Mechanical City.

Though so far away, the Miracle City suspended high in the sky was still visible.

They looked at the distant Mechanical City in disbelief, "We’re not dead?"

"That Su Yu didn’t kill us? Even let us go?"

They all knew that the Ghost Emperor and Su Yu were enemies.

Before coming, the Ghost Emperor had given orders to be cautious of Mechanical City and wary of Su Yu.

Previously, when captured by Su Yu, they had thought they were dead for sure, but unexpectedly, they could leave alive.

"This Su Yu fellow is on the same level as the Emperor and seems quite merciful..."

These people sighed for a moment and then quickly set off, speeding away.

They were worried that staying here too long might draw Su Yu’s attention.

Though Su Yu was merciful, they wouldn’t overstay their welcome, or it would mean courting death.

After sending them away, Su Yu finally let Mechanical City begin excavation.

Bang!

Mechanical City had been waiting impatiently. With the command received, the massive array of drills was immediately activated.

In an instant, a large chunk of the mountain was dug out, as if it had been gnawed by a giant beast.

The residents of Mechanical City, who had earlier seen Su Yu suddenly bring in a group of people, claiming they were Ghost Emperor’s subordinates, were surprised. When Su Yu released them, they were even more puzzled.

However, they dared not question further, focusing all their attention on the excavation process at hand.

They watched as a mountain several thousand meters high was hollowed out in no time before Mechanical City, instantly showing expressions of amazement.

This was indeed the power to move mountains and fill seas!

Whether it could fill seas was unknown, but they had witnessed mountain relocation.

At this rate, in a few hours, a mountain would be completely hollowed out.

When had they ever seen such a grand spectacle? Naturally, they were incredibly astonished.

Especially watching the gigantic machinery forcibly excavating a natural mountain, this feeling of altering the world stirred a sense of heroism in them.

However, Su Yu himself was somewhat indifferent. With his current strength, he could smash the mountain barehanded if he were willing to spend the time, so he wasn’t particularly excited.

At this time, Su Yu was still pondering the matter of the Ghost Emperor.

Why did the Ghost Emperor send people here and even want to move his lair here?

Moreover, before his death, the Ghost Emperor had left behind some means, sealing over a million subordinates. Now, with his resurrection, he unsealed them, seemingly to rebuild the Ghost Empire.

Sealing over a million subordinates intact for ten thousand years must have required a significant amount of effort and resources.

The Ghost Emperor going to such great lengths must contain some secret.

It’s definitely not because the Ghost Emperor has an imperial obsession, wanting to be an Emperor, ordering subordinates around for power and glory.

"Probably related to the ascension ritual to the Fifth Rank..."

Su Yu knew well that something of such importance to a strongman like the Ghost Emperor must certainly be related to ascension.

The Ghost Emperor himself was already a strongman among the Fourth Rank. Ascending further would result in the Fifth Rank. This million-strong army was likely preparing for the Fifth Rank ascension ritual.

"Does his ritual require establishing a planet-wide empire? Or perhaps a large-scale populace sacrifice?"

Su Yu speculated inwardly.

He knew little about the Fifth Rank ritual.

Even after interrogating [King], he couldn’t extract information because even [King] didn’t know.

[King] had briefly ascended to the Fifth Rank, relying on repairing the Radiant Mecha and then merging with it.

This method suited [King] but wasn’t applicable to Su Yu.

Given that the Ghost Emperor was human, his method might be something Su Yu could refer to.

"Fifth-Order Experts are dubbed Planet-Level. Does this mean that at this level, the ritual has also reached a planet-level, requiring global unification, complete control of forces and power on the planet?"

"And might the Ruins of the Giant God Soldier Army also be related to the ritual?"
