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

If Sterl were aware of the thoughts running through the minds of the legendary warriors and demigods, he would probably chuckle. To them, the Celestial Stars—which could even challenge gods—were the monster's ultimate power, not to mention the Divine Light of Destruction.

But in reality, the Celestial Stars was merely one of the most basic area-effect abilities that Sterl had mastered. As for the Divine Light of Destruction, it was a powerful single-target attack that, honestly, was a bit of a waste against these lesser beings.

The ability Sterl truly favored was a combination of the Temporal-Spatial Law and Moon Law, which he used to first immobilize his enemies and then, with the terrifying power of space, immediately crush them!

In that moment, the legends and demigods who had scattered and weren't caught by the Temporal-Spatial Law began to realize why the five gods earlier had been obliterated without even having a chance to resist. This ability was not only bizarrely powerful but also unthinkably potent.

Once caught, it was like a fish on the chopping block, completely at the mercy of its captor.

Sterl slowly extended his hand toward those who had been bound by his powers and gently released his next skill.

"Shattered Void!"

With a mere thought, the space around them shattered instantly, transforming into an endless barrage of space blades that descended upon the trapped warriors.

After equipping the Boots of the Void, the Shattered Void ability was exponentially strengthened. Unlike the Celestial Stars, which had a dramatic, explosive presence, or the Divine Light of Destruction, which was filled with overwhelming might, Shattered Void exuded a cold, razor-sharp killing intent.

These space blades passed through without a sound, as though they were composing a quiet, eerie melody. The only sound was that of the blades slicing through flesh and bone, their haunting symphony filling the air with an unsettling, yet strangely beautiful, harmony.

When Shattered Void finally concluded, only two severely wounded gods remained. Every other legendary and demigod, over ten thousand soldiers in total, were reduced to mangled corpses scattered across the battlefield. The scene was so gruesome it was nearly unbearable to witness.

"Kill him! Kill this demon!"

At this moment, over a thousand legends and demigods behind Sterl screamed in terror, releasing their most powerful abilities in a desperate attempt to strike back. With the chaos that had consumed the battlefield, even a god could be heavily wounded or even slain.

However, Sterl remained completely indifferent to their fury. Instead, a faint Light of the Stars began to shine across his body, and it effortlessly absorbed all of the incoming attacks.

Immediately, with a wave of his hand, Sterl activated Shattered Void once again. The thousand-strong warriors around him were torn to pieces, their souls captured by the Soul Devourer Sphere and refined into a massive amount of pure soul power.

This was the strength Sterl wielded now. As long as it wasn't the power of a formation or the siege of gods, he could simply ignore it.

Earlier, he had only activated the Rebirth of All Thoughts ability, which, aside from the Iridescent-Level abilities, made him immune to 99% of all damage. On top of that, he had triggered the defense provided by the Starry Battle Armor, which absorbed and neutralized all incoming attacks without leaving a single wound.

Moreover, his vitality had reached such immense levels that he could be considered a humanoid world boss. Even without using any abilities, he could endure any attack without significant harm.

In fact, if it weren't for the two gods on the battlefield, whom he had marked with followers' sigils for future use, they would have already perished under the power of Shattered Void.

"A group of weaklings. Rather than crawling in this world, you would be better off as stepping stones on my path to the pinnacle!" he declared, standing alone among the legendary warriors. Despite being just a single figure, his presence radiated a force far greater than the entire army around him. He looked down on the legends and demigods with disdain. These were beings who, in any other realm, would have been renowned and legendary, leaving their mark on history, but before him, they were no more than ants and trash.

"Run! This is a monster! An invincible monster!"

"How could such a devil exist in this world?"

"I am a demigod! How can I possibly fall here?!"

In that instant, the legendary army lost all will to fight. Even the commands of the gods were useless now. In this situation, no one cared about what god commanded them. Survival was the only thing that mattered. This terrifying killing machine had clearly made it his goal to exterminate them all!

"Perfect opportunity! Let's take advantage of this momentum and completely annihilate the forces of the Ashen Temple!"

Seeing this, Eterna's eyes gleamed with excitement. He immediately prepared to rally the troops and deliver a fatal blow to the Ashen forces.

However, just then, Sterl's voice rang out, "Everyone, don't move, or I might accidentally harm you."

Seeing the Orichalcum faction growing restless, Sterl quickly reminded them. After all, these were his prey. If Eterna led his army and wiped them all out, what would he have left to hunt?

Immediately, Sterl shot up into the sky, enveloped by the power of space. His aura was incredibly terrifying. Upon seeing this, Eterna quickly halted his movements. He had already witnessed the power of Shattered Void earlier, and even he wasn't entirely confident in his ability to withstand it. If he were to be accidentally harmed, it would certainly be embarrassing.

"Die!" Sterl growled lowly, and Shattered Void activated once again. With his energy now multiplied several times over, along with the regenerative abilities of his Starry Battle Armor, Sterl's endurance had dramatically improved. Coupled with the speed of his Boots of the Void and the instant teleportation they granted him, his attacks became exceedingly fast.

Even those who tried to scatter and flee couldn't escape Sterl's relentless hunt. With the vast range of Shattered Void, anyone caught within it was bound to die. In no time, the entire legendary army was being obliterated at an observable speed, the scene utterly gruesome.

Within just a few minutes, the army of tens of thousands was reduced to barely 10,000 survivors. Those who remained could only watch in horror as countless legends and demigods were slaughtered like cattle. The few who survived were on the brink of madness, no longer caring about dignity or pride.

There were those begging for mercy on their knees, others wailing as they fled, and even some who pushed their comrades in front of them to take the blows. In that moment, the darkest sides of human nature were on full display.

However, Sterl couldn't care less about such things. His sole focus was to hunt—hunt relentlessly!

Soon, the legendary army, which had started with a force of 100,000, had been whittled down to fewer than 10,000 survivors. Apart from the tens of thousands who had been struck down by the Godslayer Crossbow, everyone left had become Sterl's prey, their souls devoured by the Soul Devourer Sphere and transformed into soul power, completely vanishing from this world.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As for the gods overseeing the formation, almost all of them were wounded, with Boris no exception.

Sterl glanced at his current soul power reserves— a staggering 140,000!

"Such a pity..." he muttered as he looked at the remaining survivors, shaking his head with a hint of regret. It wasn't that he didn't want to wipe them all out, but... time had run out.

"They come now? Even with the world merging, it seems the higher gods still find it difficult to break through the world's limitations." He gazed up at the sky, his thoughts darkening. He could feel the persistent sense of danger that had been haunting him, and now, it was finally closing in!

"Roar!!!"

Suddenly, a deep, fierce howl echoed through the heavens and earth, drawing the attention of everyone. Even those legends and demigods, who were on the verge of collapse, trembling in fear, couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Eterna's expression shifted slightly, as though he understood something. The next moment, a massive tear in the fabric of space appeared in the sky, stretching long as if the heavens themselves were being torn apart.

Through the crack, vague glimpses of strange, divine structures could be seen, and then, a massive head suddenly emerged from the rift. Terrifying power surged from its body, slowly forcing the crack to widen!

Next, a giant paw appeared, followed by the body, and then a long tail...

A colossal wolf, comparable to the previously encountered War Demon Elephant, emerged from the rift in space. Its body was entirely silver, with eyes that shone like stars. Unlike the War Demon Elephant, which exuded a crude, savage aura, this wolf radiated an overwhelming sense of divine power.

The most eye-catching feature was a strange, crescent-shaped mark on its forehead, resembling the moon itself. The symbol seemed to glow with an ethereal, mysterious energy.

[Silver Moon Wolf God!]

At the same time, everyone who witnessed the appearance of the wolf suddenly received an inexplicable surge of information—an intuitive revelation about its identity. This was a divine being from the upper realms!

"Th-this... this is... the Silver Moon Wolf God!?"

Among the remaining legends and demigods, many instantly recognized the wolf's identity. This was a genuine upper-tier god, a mighty wolf deity who commanded the divine authority of the moon, and most importantly, this god belonged to the Ashen Temple! It was their savior!

"Wonderful! Silver Moon Wolf God has arrived! This damned monster will receive the harshest punishment!"

"Great wolf god above, save us! Rescue your people!"

"We're saved, we're saved! The Ashen Temple won't lose! I knew it, the gods would never abandon us!"

As they watched the figure of the Silver Moon Wolf God emerge, the survivors wept with joy. Some even sobbed uncontrollably, overwhelmed by the terror they had endured under Sterl's control. It had felt like an Endless Purgatory, far more terrifying than anything they could have imagined.

But now, it was all over. The Silver Moon Wolf God had arrived, and that monstrous creature could never withstand the divine punishment. It would be utterly annihilated!

On the other hand, the mood on the side of Orichalcum's forces immediately took a nosedive. Watching the Silver Moon Wolf God, their eyes filled with awe and apprehension.

The majesty of upper-tier gods was etched deeply into their bones. Now that the Silver Moon Wolf God had descended, everything felt shrouded in uncertainty.
