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

"Now… no one can stop me!"

Sterl gripped the Eight-Armed Demon God mother body's form with one hand. Though the mother body was effectively dead, its body still retained activity. The mysterious gray energy within the mother body surged out rapidly, continuously trying to corrode Sterl's body.

These mysterious gray energies were highly potent and exceedingly strange. They could even directly ignore Divine Power and Laws, which was the fundamental reason why these monsters were so troublesome.

However, this time, the gray energy—usually unstoppable, like a divine power crushing force—met an unexpected defeat.

Around Sterl's body, the intricate, divine-like patterns on his skin began to emit a faint glow, which immediately forced the gray energy to be pushed back, unable to penetrate his body.

Not even the protective barrier could be broken, let alone the gray energy manage to infiltrate Sterl's body. It was a futile effort, completely meaningless.

"What is this power?" Sterl wondered aloud, looking at the hand that held the mother body's lifeless form.

"The enhancement of soul power directly boosts the essence of the body, but these patterns are not abilities I've mastered. Does that mean when the body reaches a certain threshold, it automatically gains control over these patterns?"

He speculated inwardly, his anticipation for the future growing. If his true strength reached this level, wouldn't he be immune to these disgusting energies?

At the thought, a sense of joy rose in his heart. While these monsters were powerful, the thing Sterl feared the most was precisely this strange energy. The fact that he had found a way to immunize against it meant that, in the future, dealing with these creatures would be much easier.

He then turned his attention back to the broken body of the mother. While its physical form could not be restored, its soul had not perished.

Without hesitation, Sterl activated his Soul Prison's Eerie Eyes ability.

In the next moment, the souls of the two mother bodies were once again sucked into the Purgatory Space, but this time, their luck ran out.

With the substantial soul power infusion, Sterl's soul strength and mass had grown to levels far beyond his previous limits. And with the boost to his Soul Prison's Eerie Eyes, the power of the ability multiplied immensely.

In an instant, the gray energy shield on the surface of the mother body's soul was burned away to nothing, reduced to ash.

Immediately, the Soulforge Fire shot straight toward the souls of the two mother bodies, burning them fiercely.

In an instant, the ordinary souls that had been gathered by the mother bodies were completely incapable of withstanding the intensity of Sterl's current Soulforge Fire, and were immediately refined and consumed.

Even the mother bodies themselves were taking extreme damage!

Sterl sensed the situation for a moment, and in his current state, Soulforge Fire was dealing a staggering 50% damage to the mother bodies, which was simply monstrous!

In other words, in just two seconds, he could completely refine their souls and add two more mother body puppets to his collection!

Thinking about it, Sterl's heart surged with excitement. The first mother body puppet, enhanced by 100,000 soul power, was already producing over forty points of high-level soul power per day.

If he added two more, wouldn't that mean he could collect over one hundred points of high-level soul power each day without lifting a finger?

This was equivalent to the soul power of over ten gods!

Without a second thought, Sterl decided to ignore the limited duration of his current state and continued maintaining the Soulforge Fire, intending to completely refine and eliminate the mother bodies, turning them into his puppets.

But at that very moment, Sterl suddenly had a flash of inspiration. His thoughts shifted, and a surge of energy poured out from within him, immediately forming a heavy defensive barrier in front of him. At the same time, the Starry Battle Armor's absolute defensive shield activated.

The next instant, from behind the two mother bodies, a tiny gray energy sphere suddenly shot out from the hollow formed by the gray energy.

It looked like an unremarkable gray droplet—unassuming in appearance—but it caused Sterl to experience an intense feeling of unease, a sense of dread he couldn't quite shake!

Despite his immense power, enhanced by the infusion of hundreds of thousands of soul power, this droplet still caused Sterl to feel a deep sense of trepidation, which only demonstrated how terrifying its power was!

"Hmph! I told you, no one can stop me!"

A cold glint flashed in Sterl's eyes. His right hand clenched tightly, and an overwhelmingly terrifying power began to rapidly coalesce within him.

This was clearly the prelude to the Annihilation Realm King's Fist!

With a crisp sound, the outermost defensive barrier was effortlessly broken through, and the gray droplet of energy lightly struck the Starry Battle Armor's absolute defense shield.

By all rights, while this gray energy was powerful enough to weaken the duration of the absolute defense shield, it should not have been able to break through the defense completely.

Yet beneath this droplet, the defense certified by the [Transcendence] system—an absolute defense that could never be broken—was pierced in an instant.

This seemingly insignificant droplet had clearly reached a level where [Transcendence] could neither limit nor capture it!

Sterl had no idea just how terrifying this thing was, but whatever it was, anything that stood in his way was doomed to destruction!

"Break for me!!!"

Sterl roared to the heavens. Despite both layers of his defenses being breached, his most powerful strength had successfully coalesced!

Empowered by terrifying soul energy, he became like an invincible god-king and struck out with a fist that carried all of his strength, directed at the droplet!

In that moment!

Time stopped—Space Shatter!

The layer of hell beneath his feet disintegrated like paper burned to ash, vanishing in an instant without a trace.

At the same time, where the Annihilation Realm King's Fist collided with the droplet, a colossal sun shot up into the sky. Even the magma around it was instantly obliterated by the sun's rays, evaporating and vanishing.

A crisis that engulfed the entire Lava Hell erupted suddenly!

At the center of this "sun," all matter and energy were rapidly eroded, as if they were being devoured by some primordial beast, slowly vanishing.

The two mother bodies' corpses also immediately turned to ash, and from a god's-eye view, it was as if the end of the world had been triggered, causing the entire layer of hell to begin collapsing.

"I... I can hear the earth's lament!"

"What's happening? What's going on? This world we're in seems to be dying!"

"My God! Is this world going to collapse?"

"Where is Executor? Where is our Lord!?"

The gods of the Lava Giant tribe, situated thousands of miles away, immediately felt a world-ending force!

Under the overwhelming might of this force, the entire world seemed to fall apart. As God of Lava, they could clearly sense that the lava beneath the earth was rapidly falling silent, fading away at an alarming speed.

Even Law and Order were collapsing!

Looking up, they saw an unforgettable sight—the sky overhead was dominated by a "sun," hanging in the air as if it were in a death-like stillness, spreading its power in all directions.

As this power expanded, the entire world was being consumed!

The chief of the Lava Giants, stunned and speechless, watched this scene unfold. Even though his strength had reached the pinnacle of weakened Divine Power and he was close to achieving Upper Divine Authority, when he saw this, he felt nothing but despair. There was no thought of resistance left in his mind.

At that moment, a spatial fluctuation enveloped the eight Gods of Lava, and along with them, over ten thousand Lava Giants.

In an instant, all the Lava Giants vanished, and before long, the power of that "sun" swept across the land, drowning the entire world…

It was impossible to say how much time had passed, but eventually, time resumed its flow, and the giant sun vanished.

What had once been the ever-churning magma of Lava Hell now lay in complete void.

To be more precise, it wasn't exactly a true void; the space was still littered with fragments of debris, floating like broken meteorites in the empty space.

Then, from within one of the largest fragments, a powerful surge of energy suddenly rose.

At first glance, within the ruins, a severed arm was radiating boundless Divine Light. Then, centered around the severed limb, flesh and blood began to grow uncontrollably!

Limbs… torso… head…

Everything completed in an incredibly short amount of time. When the light finally faded, a towering and majestic figure reappeared in the world, glaring with disdain and madness in the direction of the once gray void.

"Hahahaha! You can't destroy me! The victor is still me!!"

He threw his head back and laughed, his voice brimming with domineering arrogance and madness.

Meanwhile, within Sterl's Purgatory Space, two new mother body puppets quietly awaited his orders…

After a brief moment, Sterl slowly came out of his ecstatic reverie. Looking at the now vanished Lava Hell, he couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

Although Lava Hell was just one layer of the underworld, it had been a small world in itself. He hadn't expected that one battle of his could completely destroy an entire world!

It could only be said that time had passed, and he had changed beyond recognition.

Now, he was qualified to compete with countless powerful beings.

However, the power of that gray droplet still left him with a lingering sense of unease. Even his absolute defense barrier had become a joke. Despite his soul energy enhancing his strength and condensing his full power to unleash the Annihilation Realm King's Fist, he had almost failed.

Luckily, the strength granted by his soul energy was more than enough to crush the threat, otherwise, even if he hadn't perished, the souls of the two mother bodies wouldn't have fallen into his hands but would have been forcefully destroyed.
