Background

Shen Yu was born with hyperthymesia, eidetic memory, and possible innate knowledge. He can recall experiences as far back as his birth, including details forgotten by his parents. The condition places an extreme burden on his brain, requiring a high-calorie diet despite his thin build. A doctor warned Shen Dahai and Shu Yu that Shen Yu's abilities could lead to insomnia, anxiety, or irritability if mishandled. 1514 1515

His parents moved the family to a quieter city to give him a stable upbringing. During his school years, Shen Yu maintained the image of a studious, ordinary student while concealing exceptional fighting skill and the ability to breach his school’s surveillance system. 1516 1518

As a newborn, Shen Yu deliberately cried to alert his father when they encountered a kidnapper. He initially assumed that everyone possessed memories and awareness from birth, rather than recognizing his own unusual condition. His parents later quit their jobs in the larger city and settled in a peaceful small city so that they could accompany him as he grew up. 1515 1516

At seventeen, Shen Yu valued his family’s quiet life and generally avoided activities that might expose his abilities or endanger his parents. He sold information to earn money but refrained from selling weapons despite knowing how to manufacture them. He secretly assembled a handgun, initially keeping it unused as a model. 1522 1558

At the beginning of the Anomaly Era, Shen Yu was among the few people who still remembered it. After encountering an anomaly on a bus, he activated the Anomaly Containment System and drew Bai Zuo, beginning his rise as the force behind the Anomaly Containment Association. 1 2

Later revelations establish that Shen Yu had once been an Anomaly Tamer alongside Disaster and other companions. Their attempts to find a lasting solution to anomalies ended in corruption, infighting, and separation. Shen Yu endured countless reincarnations—described as an unimaginably long span of time—and remained isolated from the people he later revived or gathered around him. 1176 1203 1204 949

The Association’s history includes an unknown number of worldline restarts. A powerful enemy erased its members’ pasts, presents, and futures, leaving them as nonexistent phantoms remembered only by Shen Yu. His repeated journeys across worlds and timelines were attempts to recover their histories and bring them back to life; these efforts failed countless times. 855 1152

Although increasing strength restored most of his memories, Shen Yu continued to sense that some remained missing. He suspected that both these gaps and his unexplained attraction to Weirds might be prices paid for repeated reincarnation and disruption of spacetime, but did not establish this as their definitive cause. 1152

Appearance

Shen Yu has a youthful appearance that causes employees to underestimate his age, though his true history is far older than he appears. He is tall and slender, with an unusually thin build maintained by his high mental-energy consumption. 83 385 1514

  • Stands approximately six feet one inch tall. 385
  • Had reached 1.8 meters by the age of seventeen in the account of his school years. 1514
  • Has a slender, long-limbed build that can make him resemble an adolescent still growing. 1051
  • Possesses pitch-black, unfathomable eyes; traces of blood-red can appear within them when his power surfaces. 84
  • After the first Infinity fragment’s transformation, his pupils become dark crimson, appearing black at first glance but reflecting a red glow in the light. He also recalls that his originally black eyes turned red after he became an Anomaly Tamer. 193 981
  • Usually dresses casually when appearing in person rather than in the Chairman’s more imposing image. 192 1051
  • Has worn a platinum-colored cloak with a broad hood and a matching mask covering the lower half of his face during otherworldly travel. 458
  • His face and voice are routinely blurred or erased from subordinates’ memories to prevent his presence from influencing them. 999 1051
  • During his school years, his handsome features and melancholic air make him popular with girls, while his appearance gives strangers the impression of an academically excellent, well-behaved student. 1513 1537

Personality

Shen Yu is analytical, pragmatic, and highly strategic. He treats the Association as both a containment organization and a long-term project, carefully allocating Construction Points, developing technology, recruiting personnel, and creating organizational structures before problems can become unmanageable. 15 68 430

Despite his reserved manner, he is not indifferent to human suffering. He repeatedly prioritizes protecting humanity, invests in technology to reduce Contract Anomalists’ risks, and refuses to regard weaker people as disposable. 355 908 1007

His immense power and repeated reincarnations have made him distant from others. Shen Yu deliberately limits contact with subordinates because his mental power can influence those with weaker wills. He does not consider this isolation loneliness, having spent far longer alone than with anyone else. 949 999

Character Card portrayals can affect his thoughts and temperament. Bai Zuo’s malice initially pushed Shen Yu toward more cynical conclusions, though Shen Yu recognized the influence and kept it under control. 39 516

Other portrayals produce similarly distinct impulses: Bei Mu’s role brings an obsessive desire for wealth and possession, while Absolute Boundary’s lethargy makes Shen Yu want to stop working and sleep. Shen Yu consciously adjusts to or withdraws from these influences rather than treating them as his own normal temperament. 108 430

His detachment coexists with considerable gentleness. Bai Zuo sees him as possessing both divinity and humanity, capable of embracing very different people, while the God of Games finds his company comfortable despite his outward coldness. Shen Yu respects Lin Tan’s wish to die after his world’s destruction, withdrawing his protection rather than forcing him to continue living. 270 376 709

Shen Yu enjoys portraying different lives and watching Character Cards grow into independent people. Although he carefully manages the organization, he does not require every awakened individual to remain a lifeless, fully controlled creation. He accepts their development into people with their own souls, emotions, histories, and choices. 372 524 537 757

In his school years, he is particularly protective of his family’s safety and reluctant to initiate rescues that might attract dangerous attention. He can recognize kindness beneath outward malice, but rejects the idea that everyone must be redeemed; when provoked, he is willing to use force to make aggressors listen. He credits his parents’ love with preventing his early awareness of human ugliness from turning him toward a darker path. 1520 1522

He holds friendship to a demanding standard. Although he believes he could easily make others like him by adapting to their thoughts and needs, he considers a true friend someone who understands his nature and still treats him unchanged. His acceptance of Huo Wujìu and Wen Zhishu’s friendship marks an important moment in the account of his teenage life. 1548 1549

Abilities & Skills

Anomaly Containment Authority

As the system host and Chairman, Shen Yu can permanently contain anomalies through the Anomaly Containment Facility.

  • Gains the abilities of every anomaly successfully contained. 68
  • Receives feedback when a Contract Anomalist advances their contracted anomaly. 953
  • Can contain entities ranging from low-level Weirds to Mother of Birth and summoned gods. 68 570 572
  • Contained anomalies are strongly drawn to him, with stronger anomalies showing both greater obsession and greater fear. 84 669
  • Can release a contained entity for an outside mission without severing its connection to him, as demonstrated when he dispatches Mother of Birth against a Weird God. 1032
  • His flesh, hair, and even sweat exert an intense attraction on Weirds, associated with the prospect of attaining godhood by devouring him. This attraction existed before he had accumulated many contained anomalies, and its origin remains unresolved. 834 1152
  • Distinguishes between the predatory attraction of uncontained Weirds and the abrupt change in attitude following permanent containment. He considers a rule or contract-like mechanism as a possible explanation, without confirming it. 710

Mental and Spiritual Power

Shen Yu possesses immense mental power, refined through controlling Character Cards and absorbing numerous anomalous abilities.

  • Can project psychic power over great distances and divide it into fine strands for reconnaissance. 385
  • Can split his mental energy between separate tasks, such as directing a battlefield while playing chess with the God of Games. 703
  • His mental signature is concealed while operating through a Character Card body. 603
  • Resists overwhelming malice with little difficulty due to his powerful mental core. 516
  • Early in his career, controlling multiple Character Cards and their Weird powers simultaneously caused severe mental exhaustion. 37
  • After receiving the abilities of the first group of permanently contained anomalies, can control three, four, or five characters simultaneously without difficulty. 68
  • Can condense psychic power into a human form within a mental or anomalous world. Psychic power projected far outside a Character Card can expose his true spiritual signature despite the card’s concealment. 603
  • Can sustain a fragile illusory world with a portion of his mental power, preventing it from collapsing during its interaction with another world. 998
  • Nourishes the spirits of spiritual veins with mental power, preserving them and raising a world’s spiritual energy, tier, and potential upper limit. 959

Character Card Manipulation

Shen Yu can draw, portray, and control Character Cards, using them as alternate identities and sources of power.

  • Character Cards can provide combat abilities, distinct personalities, Contracted Weirds, and associated characters. 69 426
  • Associated characters are highly autonomous, completely loyal, and incapable of betrayal. 6
  • A Character Card at 100% Perfection develops its own personality, memories, consciousness, and independent agency. 192 355 777 883
  • Shen Yu’s personal portrayal accelerates a card’s Character Perfection more effectively than leaving it to act independently. 876
  • Fully awakened cards can become difficult to directly control, as demonstrated by Bai Zuo. 515
  • Can edit associated characters’ detailed backgrounds, personalities, and implanted memories before manifesting them. He uses this to fill organizational posts and construct opposing factions. 53 108 221 430
  • Awakened Character Cards no longer require his constant expenditure of mental energy to maintain their existence. Their consciousnesses possess souls and emotions rather than functioning as mere cold data. 524 537
  • Can sense associated characters’ locations and conditions through their connections to Character Cards. 876
  • Retains the underlying ability to influence or control awakened card-bound individuals, or even erase their consciousnesses, while possessing their cards. He does not choose to exercise this power against his restored companions. 1175
  • Can adjust the scale and accessibility of special scenes, ranging from a small enclosed domain to a spectacle visible across an entire city or world. 755
  • Possesses Absolute Boundary’s Otherworld Summoning himself, allowing him and the Character Card to make separate summoning attempts. The results are highly random and may include beings powerful enough to require his personal supervision. 1052

Ghost Domain and Weird Energy

Shen Yu can form a Ghost Domain strengthened by layered mental power and Weird energy.

  • Within his Ghost Domain, Shen Yu acts as the god of the enclosed space. 570
  • Can compress, erode, and tear apart powerful entities within the Domain. 570
  • His aura alone can intimidate high-level Weirds and prevent them from approaching. 84
  • Possesses enough stored energy to exceed even ancient god-tier Weirds in sheer quantity. 656
  • Can restrain his output to match a weaker world’s tolerance. In particularly fragile worlds, releasing his full power—or even a small special ability—could destroy the surrounding world. 373 379 738 744

Physical Power and Resilience

The abilities gained through containment and divine-artifact study strengthen Shen Yu’s body as well as his mind.

  • Following the first Infinity fragment’s transformation, judges that missiles from around the world could strike his body without injuring him and estimates his casual grip strength at over one trillion tons. 193
  • Can withstand spatial storms for an extended period with his physical body. 372
  • His bodily defenses can repel the Affinity Stone’s power before it reaches him; he must deliberately release a tiny trace of power to produce a measurable reaction. 272
  • Continues undergoing bodily tempering and mental-power growth after receiving world authority. 960 969

Spatial Laws

Shen Yu studies and employs the laws of space through fragments of the divine artifact Infinity.

  • Bound an Infinity fragment to his blood and soul, unlocking partial manipulation, control, and comprehension of space. 193
  • Combined multiple fragments to deepen his understanding of spatial laws. 355
  • Can create stable spatial gates between worlds and draw teleportation arrays using precise coordinates. 355 356
  • Studies spatial rifts and claimed a large spatial fragment with a nascent world barrier. 396
  • Can inscribe spatial-barrier formations on talismans, providing defensive protection while also using the talismans to track recipients and obtain otherwise unknown coordinates. 394
  • Brings spatial turbulence under his control and uses it to travel through spatial rifts at a speed described as exceeding light. 396
  • Supplies energy to stabilize the barrier of an emerging world. He distinguishes this from creating a world outright, since he only accelerates an existing process and cannot direct its evolution. 397
  • Assembles the complete Infinity Divine Artifact, although complete integration of every spatial law initially remains beyond him. 576
  • Later can locate and cross into an anchored world in an instant, or force entry with a thought, provided he suppresses his power enough to avoid destroying it. 738

Time and Fate

Shen Yu studies temporal and fate-related powers through the Hourglass of Time and Wu’s Character Card.

  • The Hourglass of Time enables time manipulation but consumes significant Weird energy. 656
  • Uses Precognition through Wu’s abilities and divination tools to observe possible timelines. 680
  • Can employ Fate Star Disk to view branching possibilities, though changing fate incurs a price and potential backlash. 814
  • Acquired multiple Hourglass of Time fragments through special scenarios. 656 777 883
  • Unlocks Scales of Fate (Perfect), which tilts fate in his favor when a sufficiently weighty price is offered. 220
  • Can accelerate time within a Dungeon. Although the God of Games praises his control, Shen Yu describes his practical application of temporal laws as self-taught and comparatively crude. 708
  • Can perceive karmic and fate connections, including Fu Zeyu’s unusually close bond to his world and the danger that his death might pose to it. 829 830
  • Reconnects a previously severed thread of fate with Wu through the Character Card, deepening his own understanding of fate. 884
  • Knows how to activate Time Reversal but avoids doing so unless necessary. The Association’s spacetime restart is its highest authority and final measure, used only in extreme circumstances. 855 1152
  • By mastering Infinity and the Hourglass of Time, can combine spatial and temporal power to reverse time and reshape worlds. Reversing a longer interval or an entire world requires substantially more Weird energy than targeting one individual. 1278
  • Proposes reversing Disaster’s personal time to before severe Weird assimilation. This would also reduce Disaster’s strength; the proposal is interrupted when the artifacts instead reveal a world passage. 1278

World Authority

Shen Yu can acquire and safeguard the authority and origins of worlds.

  • Supports Blue Star’s world origin with his own power, preventing another entity from occupying it without first defeating him. 735
  • Receives the authority of heaven and earth from a world consciousness, becoming that world’s master with control over life and death. Its consciousness returns to its origin and remains available when called. 960
  • Accepts the illusory world’s authority from Wu Xiaoyu, who offers it in the hope that Shen Yu will preserve the world. 998 1006
  • Can investigate a world’s underlying condition through his understanding of world origins and laws, including while using a Character Card’s body. 735

Hyperthymesia and Mundane Skills

Shen Yu’s natural memory and intellect remain central to his abilities.

  • Possesses hyperthymesia and eidetic memory, retaining even early-childhood events in extraordinary detail. 1514 1515
  • Requires increased caloric intake to sustain his brain’s activity. 1514
  • Defeated five students who attempted to ambush him. 1518
  • Accessed and reviewed school surveillance footage while concealing his digital traces. 1518
  • Rapidly analyzes personalities, motives, insecurities, and interpersonal dynamics from observation. During the looping-building incident, he assesses the other trapped people’s characters and anticipates potential hostility. 1528 1537
  • Uses information-gathering and computer skills to identify the address behind an online post, send messages through programs, and erase digital and physical traces of his activity. 1520 1526
  • Knows how to manufacture firearms and assembles a working handgun and ammunition, although his initial handling is inexperienced because he has never used it before. 1558
  • Recognizes that intelligence and conventional weapons alone cannot overcome certain anomalies. Against Clock Hands, he instead uses repeated injuries to controlled corpses to force the anomaly to expend power restoring them. 1558 1559

Equipment / Weapons / Items

Relationships

  • Shen Dahai and Shu Yu — Shen Yu’s caring parents. They support his high-calorie dietary needs and were the first to learn the full extent of his abnormal memory. 1514 1515 They relocate to a smaller city to support his upbringing and do not try to rigidly restrain his unusual abilities.

He recognizes that her family circumstances cannot be solved by a single intervention and later investigates a strange letter likely connected to her. A Weird fused with her is influenced by her love for him and becomes obsessively attached to him. 84 1519 1520
  • Huo Wujìu and Wen Zhishu — Companions encountered during the looping-building incident in the account of Shen Yu’s teenage years. They offer friendship despite his unusual intellect and difficult-to-understand behavior; Shen Yu accepts them as people willing to recognize his true nature. 1528 1548 1549
  • Su Nian — A streamer trapped in the same building. Shen Yu saves her during a dream-related incident, earning her gratitude and provoking Zhong Xun’s jealousy. She later appears among the corpses controlled by the anomaly. 1544 1545 1558
  • The Anomaly Containment System — Shen Yu’s system interface, which grants Character Cards, tracks Construction Points, manages Headquarters, and enables permanent containment. 37 68 As his understanding of rules deepens, he comes to regard the system as a tool rather than a complete explanation for his powers. 656 710
