Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener

The hell player team that Sterl first locked onto was met with the same fate.

In the blinding white light, they didn't have time to express any other emotions; they instinctively squinted their eyes—too bright!

And that became their last action.

Caught in the nuclear explosion, they were brutally torn apart!

What was most outrageous was that Sterl was astonished to see several demons and hell players activating their life-saving items. Their bodies attempted to reassemble in the intense light, but unfortunately, before they could fully reform, they disintegrated once more!

The power of the nuclear explosion seemed to consume everything.

Unlike how One Sword Opens the Sky countered various items, under the influence of Fission, Celestial Stars was simply a brutally straightforward accumulation of power. If the life-saving items could not quickly escape the range of the output, then it was equivalent to—useless!

However…

This was just the beginning…

Just like Sterl's previous life where he witnessed a nuclear explosion, beyond the core area with the greatest power, an even more terrifying energy radiation wave would scatter in all directions!

Swish!

Swish!

That orb of energy forming the Great Sun showed no signs of dissipating; it unleashed waves of pure white high-thermal energy in all directions!

As for the extent of the spread…

Even Sterl couldn't keep track.

He simply stood still; the consumption of this move was not less than unleashing Shattered Void with all his strength.

Moreover, it was too "mentally exhausting." Sterl felt a splitting headache. If it weren't for being on the battlefield, he would have already pulled out Fire of Ten Thousand Souls to absorb and recover.

But…

It was indeed the immense consumption that kept him standing still. To others, however, it appeared as if this mysterious figure in a black robe stood confidently in place after executing his move, unwavering and imposing.

This was all part of Sterl's calculations!

When it came to showmanship, he was indeed quite the professional.

At this moment…

The entire scene was silent!

The white light gradually dissipated.

The energy released after Fission was in its most brutal state, leaving behind an incredibly clean "glass-like" ground.

Under the scorching heat, even the special soil and rocks of hell were melted down into a liquid glass state.

As for the monsters? The hell players?

All hostile units within a radius of several hundred miles were completely wiped out, leaving only the dazzling loot spheres behind. Besides the creations of the [Transcendence] system, everything else had dissipated. Even the air had become considerably fresher, with the pervasive stench of blood and sulfur evaporated from the entire region.

Inside the palace of The Blood Red Fortress, the witnesses, or rather the gods, were left somewhat bewildered by the scene before them.

"That player shouldn't be a Supreme, but their output is already on par with a Supreme? What is going on here?"

"I didn't even sense any fluctuations from their skills just now. What's happening?"

The one who was most astonished was Marlon, the god from the Hall of Valor. Immediately, the gods from the Golden Kingdom and Ashen factions spoke with a hint of acidity in their tones.

"Wow, so you're still pretending at this point?"

"So this is your Hall of Valor's secret weapon? Good! Good! Good!"

"Alright, we admit defeat."

"You guys from the Hall of Valor have really kept this under wraps."

While they spoke, a flicker of apprehension flashed in their eyes.

What they had just witnessed was not any kind of Law Power, yet it managed to unleash such overwhelming might.

If it were just that one demigod who happened to stumble upon this ability, that would be one thing.

But if the Hall of Valor developed this secret weapon for the purpose of studying calamity, then they would be in trouble. Their two factions might not be able to withstand it even if they teamed up.

The slots for the upper realms were ultimately limited. Only the leaders of major factions could escape the disaster, while most members had to remain in Alpha 8.

If the Hall of Valor were to dominate the future…

The other top factions would certainly not have an easy time.

The two figures from the upper realms were also slightly astonished. "This level of energy and fluctuation should be characteristic of golden skills."

"But how is that possible?"

"The underlying code of [Transcendence] was designed to prevent golden skills from achieving such power…"

"Or could it be that the player is using a Platinum Skill to enhance the golden skill??"

Even these two well-informed individuals were somewhat taken aback; the scene before them defied logic.

Members of the upper realms organization differed from the gods.

While the gods might misinterpret their senses, these upper realms individuals had a special tool that allowed them to view the "code" of [Transcendence]…

"Even though [Transcendence] is repairing its vulnerabilities at an increasing speed and our range of exploration is becoming more restricted, it's impossible to misinterpret what we find."

"It's definitely a golden skill."

"No matter what, this demigod must be a top-tier talent."

The two figures communicated through their minds, and they were not coveting the "power" in the hands of the demigod for a simple reason: many elements in [Transcendence] require the cumulative effects of various talent classes to form.

The upper realms had the means to steal others' talents, their classes, and even their skills, but executing such operations was incredibly troublesome…

Each of these items required extremely valuable resources.

It would be better to recruit that powerful demigod from the battlefield into their organization directly.

Before long, they changed their tone.

"Marlon, you from the Hall of Valor have really kept this under wraps!"

"To have such talent and not even recommend them to us."

The upper realms organization also needed to scout talents from the lower realms to fill their ranks. Most members typically entered through a rigorous selection process.

But the ability of this mysterious demigod on the battlefield was just too strong!

It was worth absorbing directly!

The two individuals thought that by acting as recommenders, they might even earn a reward, which made their attitudes suddenly become enthusiastic.

Just moments ago, they had been mocking the Hall of Valor for amusement.

Now, their tone was filled with concern.

Suddenly, Marlon felt that his emotional value skyrocketed; the two previously high-and-mighty individuals were now showing great concern, while the other two gods were visibly uncomfortable, forcing smiles. The only problem was…

"This person is definitely not from our Hall of Valor; I have no recollection of him at all."

"Huh?"

"Huh!?"

Meanwhile, the players on the battlefield were unaware of the ongoing changes.

The players from the Hall of Valor stared blankly ahead.

Where are the monsters? Where are the hell players? There had been so many just moments ago, and now they were all gone?

Similarly, members of the Golden Kingdom and Ashen factions were equally bewildered.

In fact…

Several top demigod Supremes, who had earlier been praised by their respective gods, stared around in confusion.

The power of Fission affected the Celestial Stars, which did not only clear the monsters within a hundred miles.

That was merely the core energy zone!

The dissipated energy had annihilated nearly all the low-health monsters over a range of thousands of miles. As for other non-low-health monsters…

Sorry, a little bit of health was left at first, but soon they all fell to the ground, leaving everyone wondering why they had vanished!

In other words…

Originally, these powerful beings had been flaunting their prowess, snatching monsters and farming merit from other players. Now, they had effectively sent back all the monsters they had stolen, and not just that, they had returned with several times the amount!

They were left in a state of despair, wanting to cry but having no tears!

At this moment…

All the players present snapped back to their senses.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Are you crazy? Stealing monsters like that!"

"Bro! Aren't you a bit out of line?"

"If you want to mess around, do it later; we can't let you keep doing this."

…

Many players, in their anger, yelled at Sterl, but soon their tone softened as they tried to persuade him.

They looked at the mysterious demigod standing before them, and no matter how displeased they were, they dared not speak out; what if he dropped that last "Celestial Star" attack on their heads?

The players felt…

They wouldn't survive; they simply wouldn't survive.

Among those questioning players were not only members of the Golden Kingdom and Ashen factions but also quite a few from the Hall of Valor, all of whom were in despair.

When Sterl made his move, he had simply chosen a spot dense with enemy units where he could maximize his gain of blood-colored documents, completely disregarding which players were farming monsters nearby.

The interests of the Hall of Valor? What did it matter to him?

However, faced with the many players' "persuasion," Sterl's response was simple. Although he had expended quite a bit of energy and felt a bit of a headache, it was nothing compared to the merits he was about to earn!

He raised his hand and unleashed another empowered Celestial Star!

The power of Fission erupted once more.

This time, Sterl was determined; the power of his attack could no longer just graze the edges of the battlefield.

Instead, he aimed directly at the center of a massive cluster of demons!

In an instant, the same blue warning indicator appeared. This time, even the demons manipulated by the hell players learned their lesson and quickly scattered in all directions.

Other players also wised up, realizing they couldn't help this mysterious figure control the monsters; otherwise, they would be the ones losing out. Thus…

Stardust enhancement — release speed!

Sterl was well-prepared!

At the moment the warning indicator appeared, another round of the great sun rose on the battlefield.

Then an incredibly terrifying burning force began to engulf a Supreme-level presence among the demonic horde, and he couldn't withstand the power of this attack!

In less than half a second, he was reduced to ashes.

In a direct confrontation, Supremes could easily evade the Celestial Stars enhanced by the power of Fission.

The battlefield was too chaotic, with various skill fluctuations blending together.

The fluctuation of a golden skill was nearly undetectable!

The Supreme among the hell players was unable to dodge the initial attack and had no choice but to use his survival item!

Fortunately, he had seen the horror of the first wave of Celestial Stars when it erupted.

After activating his survival item, he swiftly teleported thousands of miles away, barely escaping the second wave of radiation and heat that would have dissolved him!

But while the Supreme managed to escape, the ordinary demigod-level and legendary demons, as well as the hell players nearby, were not so fortunate.

It wouldn't be fair to say they were doomed…

After all, they hadn't even realized what was happening before they felt a sudden heat enveloping them, leading to their swift demise!
