Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic-Chapter 1042 - 525: Clues to the Time-Space Origin (2)
No wonder they are the same person, their thinking is identical.
The Prince of Brutal quickly calmed down. Though afraid of death, he was far from incompetent. Facing an unknown and formidable enemy, and another version of himself, he quickly triggered his innate survival instinct and began devising a strategy.
First and foremost, he naturally wanted to escape the Mirror Universe and return to reality.
If the Mirror Image Brutal Prince couldn’t find him, did that mean this loop had failed?
However, when he attempted to take action, he found that he couldn’t leave at all! He couldn’t return to reality!
It seemed that his previous easy arrival in this Mirror Universe was with the "assistance" of that Mirror Image Brutal Prince.
And now, that Mirror Image Brutal Prince certainly wouldn’t let the original body escape so easily.
The Prince of Brutal even discovered that he couldn’t leave the Mirror Azure Star. The cosmic sky outside the Mirror Azure Star was entirely fake, and with his "real" essence, he couldn’t leave at all.
Now, the Prince of Brutal could only wait on this Mirror Azure Star for the arrival of the Mirror Image Prince.
Feeling helpless, the Prince of Brutal could only comfort himself: "Escaping is meaningless. If the mirror version of me fails to find me, it will probably trigger the next loop, and I will ultimately have to face it."
Then he delved deeper into thought:
"Since I haven’t been devoured, and the loop hasn’t ended, does this mean this might be the first loop?"
"No, I can’t be too optimistic!"
"Judging by my inexplicable familiarity with the Mirror Universe earlier, this definitely isn’t the first time!"
"Then, possibly in previous loops... the other version of me didn’t succeed?"
"It makes sense, he’s a fake mirror image and faces a natural disadvantage against me."
"Perhaps in every loop, he fails to defeat me, so he starts a new loop, using each loop to accumulate experience!"
"Given this, I still have a chance!"
Thinking of this, hope surged in the Prince of Brutal’s heart.
According to his speculation, the loop had occurred multiple times, and the Mirror Image Brutal Prince had failed each time, necessitating a new loop.
Considering this, apart from not being able to control the loop, the original Prince of Brutal held the advantage.
In the forthcoming confrontation, when the mirror prince arrives, as long as the original Prince of Brutal seizes the opportunity to devour the mirror prince, he can turn the tables and perhaps gain control over the loop, thus achieving his initial plan of defecting successfully and attaining true freedom!
After that, the Prince of Brutal bided his time, gathering strength while waiting for the mirror prince’s arrival.
Finally, the Prince of Brutal sensed powerful spatial fluctuations outside Azure Star, caused by the emergence of a Superluminal Starship from Subspace.
"It’s here!"
The Prince of Brutal was ready for battle.
In the next instant, everything went black before his eyes.
The entire Mirror Azure Star vanished, and even the entire Mirror Universe turned into complete darkness.
"What happened?"
The Prince of Brutal floated quietly in the dark vacuum of the Mirror Universe, completely at a loss.
After exploring this dark vacuum for a long time, the Prince of Brutal finally found a way to leave and returned to the Real Universe.
Soon after returning, a Subspace tide erupted, throwing the entire Human Empire into chaos, leaving no time to deal with the Prince of Brutal’s defection.
After leaving the Mirror Universe, the Prince of Brutal was no longer a prince, but assumed the identity of the God of Brutal, known to Su Yu as the current Brutal Evil God.
And then, it was the history Su Yu was familiar with.
The Subspace tide erupted, Zhang Chenfeng established the Second Empire, the Brutal Evil God’s erosion, the great rebellion, finally Zhang Chenfeng died, and the Brutal Evil God was sealed...
The Time Loop, and another Mirror Image Brutal Prince, seemed to end abruptly and never appeared again.
It seemed that all the Brutal Evil God’s previous worries were completely unfounded.
Reading up to this point, Su Yu was a bit speechless.
Earlier, Su Yu had been eagerly anticipating a battle between the Prince of Brutal and the mirror prince, but nothing happened, and it just ended like this?
What was going on?
Moreover, what about the secret of this "foreign" star system, Azure Star? What was special about it?
Su Yu could only continue reading patiently, hoping to find an explanation later.
In fact, after leaving the Mirror Universe, the Brutal Evil God continued to ponder this question.
He constantly thought about that moment of darkness, what exactly had happened?
The Brutal Evil God contemplated it for a long time, even during the millennia of being sealed by Zhang Chenfeng.
Finally, the Brutal Evil God realized a terrifying fact.
In fact, he had long thought of it, but was always reluctant to admit it.
That is... was the current Brutal Evil God the original body, or the mirror image?
According to the Brutal Evil God’s speculation, in that moment of darkness, perhaps thousands of time loops and battles had occurred.
Ultimately, a winner was decided.
As for who the victor was? Unknown!
The Brutal Evil God himself didn’t know who he really was!
In fact, the Brutal Evil God leaned towards being the fake mirror image!
And why? Because of the Brutal Evil God’s unmatched, inexplicable fear of death.
This fear was utterly unreasonable.
The Prince of Brutal had been meticulously groomed and should not harbor such fear, should not fear death, but instead regard it as glory.
That fear might have belonged to the Mirror Image Brutal Prince!
The Mirror Image Brutal Prince was intrinsically false.
And when the mirror prince, for some reason, discovered his own essence, fear arose.
Fear of his false essence, fear that he could disappear at any moment.
Because of his false essence, he became obsessed with "living," above all else.
Thus, the Mirror Image Brutal Prince began plotting to seize everything from the original body and replace him.
In the end, he succeeded in taking everything from the original Prince of Brutal!
Hence, the Brutal Evil God possessed that unparalleled fear of death.
Thus, the Brutal Evil God had long been replaced!
It’s just that, even though he succeeded, the loop seemed never to have ended.
The successful Mirror Image Brutal Evil God was still trapped in the Time Loop, unable to escape.
Thus, during the last loop, the formidable enemy the Brutal Evil God awaited had never existed.
The real purpose of that loop was to destroy the entire Mirror Universe, to break the loop and end everything.
In the end, it was successful.
This gave rise to the current Brutal Evil God.
However, for unknown reasons, before succeeding, the Mirror Image Brutal Evil God altered his memory, leaving him unsure of his own identity.
Possibly, only by abandoning all "falsehoods" could one obtain true reality.
After understanding all this, the Brutal Evil God no longer dwelled on who he truly was but looked forward to everything.
Having already attained reality and freedom, he decided to enjoy it all.
His next goal was to break Zhang Chenfeng’s seal, venture into the depths of the universe, and use the infinite beings there to quickly increase his power, becoming the true God of Brutal! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
...
"This guy’s story is quite inspirational..."
After reading the Brutal Evil God’s experience, Su Yu came to this conclusion.
If one overlooks the evil nature of the Brutal Evil God, indeed, the experience is quite "inspirational."
From a hellish beginning, seemingly destined for death, he ultimately turned the tables through scheming.
If he truly was that mirror image, then it would be even more inspirational.
However, regardless of how inspirational, this guy has now been thoroughly subdued by Su Yu, "enjoying" endless hellish torment.
Slightly sighing at the Brutal Evil God’s inspirational story, Su Yu quickly put it behind him.
What he was truly interested in was the last part of the Brutal Evil God’s conjecture.
After comprehending his origins, the Brutal Evil God continued deeper into thought and speculation about himself.
That part of the conjecture contained the true secret of the Azure Star and the true source of the Brutal Evil God’s fear.
Even, the clue that Su Yu had always been missing...
Information about the Time-Space Origin!
The critical part of the [Time-Space Mechanic] ritual, the clue to "Time-Space Origin," was hidden in the Brutal Evil God’s "inspirational" story!
