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

Gurgle, gurgle...

The grotesque mass of flesh and blood continuously poured together, transforming into a humanoid monster.

Its face appeared to be wearing a pure white mask, but blood tears streamed down from it. Its body was bizarre, with one leg being extremely thick and the other unusually thin, creating a grotesque imbalance.

This creature stood hunched over, slowly advancing toward the players.

More terrifyingly, because the monster bent its body low, its back of the head revealed a greenish human face—exactly resembling the deity of Heaven Water. This face roared continuously, emitting eerie sound waves.

The players couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea.

"Is this the BOSS?"

"Great! There will be rewards!"

"Nice! Now we don't have to waste our time on these NPCs!"

Excited exclamations erupted from the players.

Despite the monster's nauseating appearance, it didn't matter!

There's no loot from defeating NPCs, but bosses might drop some rare items. Not to mention, this time it's the embodiment of the World Origin power!

There was a chance for extremely rare skills and gear to drop!

As for whether they could defeat it?

That wasn't even a concern!

The second-class players present were the elite chosen from over 70 countries within the Dark Moon Alliance!

Ordinary bosses could be taken down by teams of dozens.

No matter how powerful this embodiment of the world's will was, three hundred players should be enough to kill it!

Moreover, several players used detection skills and items to confirm that the BOSS was only level 90...

Would they win?

Absolutely!

They were already contemplating how to distribute the loot.

Unfortunately, the players celebrated too soon.

In the next moment, the remaining five to six thousand soldiers on the field collectively stood up in eerie silence.

The reason there were still so many soldiers left was that the players couldn't kill them all before going for the Netherworld Water. They mainly pierced through the army formation, killing only a few thousand soldiers.

Now, the soldiers moved in unison, raising their swords and blades, and suddenly thrusting them into their own chests!

Squish!!

The synchronized motion made the sound of blades piercing flesh clear and distinct, echoing across the battlefield.

This eerie scene, completed in a silent state, was orchestrated by the world's will. The soldiers didn't scream in pain or agony. They completed their suicide with cold indifference.

The soldiers, dissatisfied with the speed of their deaths, pulled out their swords and used their hands to further dig into their chests, crushing their own hearts!

This eerie scene sent shivers down the players' spines.

They stood frozen, unsure of what to do. Kill the soldiers? But they were already committing suicide!

In the next second, the players watched in shock as the world's will-embodied BOSS received a massive boost in power!

After the sacrifice of five to six thousand soldiers, their flesh, blood, and souls turned into a rolling sludge, rapidly merging into the BOSS, causing its body to swell and expand!

From its original human-sized form, it grew into a giant over 10 meters tall!

The greenish face on the giant's back let out another piercing roar!

This time, the players weren't just disgusted. Everyone, under the influence of the sound waves, felt a wave of nausea and revulsion, scattering in all directions in extreme pain.

On the players' interfaces, clear status effects were displayed: [Dizziness] [Fear]!

Even a simple roar from this boss could cause incredibly terrifying control effects!

Then, the boss grew a hand resembling a blade and slashed down fiercely! The blade light flashed, and the dozen or so players closest to it were instantly cut in half at the waist!

What's even more terrifying was that the players who were cut in half didn't die immediately. They crawled on the ground in utter despair, leaving a trail of blood.

"No! I don't want to die! Help me!"

"Where's the healer? Heal me!"

"Someone save me! Ugh!! It hurts so much!!"

Even though it wasn't real death, the intense pain was unbearable for the players.

The other players were still under control, unable to provide any assistance.

Among them was Sterl, who managed to break free from the control a bit earlier.

"Damn! What a disgusting skill!"

He looked disheveled and realized a flaw in his skill setup: he lacked any control-breaking abilities! He usually relied on his high speed to crush opponents.

But if he encountered such a widespread soundwave control, he might not be able to react in time and would get controlled!

The battlefield changed in an instant. Sterl made a mental note to search for relevant skills later.

He hesitated for a second, then stepped forward quickly and used [Healing Starlight] to save the players who were severely injured by being cut in half.

Sterl wasn't acting out of sudden kindness. He had seen a piece of information about the BOSS through Star Insight that made him extremely cautious.

After absorbing countless flesh and blood, and with the world collapsing, the restrictions of the Netherworld realm were gradually breaking down, becoming like the main world of [Transcendence], with no power limits.

As a result, the BOSS, the embodiment of the world's will, known as the "World's Abomination," had broken through to a third-class level, reaching level 107. Sterl even saw this number flashing continuously, changing to 108 within seconds.

Obviously, the Netherworld realm was in a state of collapse, merging with the main world of [Transcendence] every second. The level cap was slowly but steadily increasing.

Sterl estimated that if the boss fight dragged on for a long time, the level of the "World's Abomination" could rise to the max level of the third-class, or even reach a legendary state!

Additionally, this BOSS had an outrageous skill:

[Heaven Water Tidal Surge: Launches a tidal attack on all targets within a large area, causing three seconds of stun and absorbing 30% of the hit target's life force per second. (Irresistible effect in the legendary state)]

[Uses: 3/3]

This was clearly a legendary ability!

Or rather, it was a power that seemed to have degenerated from the Divine Power of the Heaven Water deity.

Sterl immediately realized that dealing with this legendary power would be incredibly difficult! They needed to kill the BOSS quickly, or else the combat power of the "World's Abomination" would keep increasing. This legendary ability could even evolve into a demi-god rule, or a Divine Power as the world's limits were lifted…

And if Sterl got into close combat with the BOSS and got controlled, it would be a disaster.

It's not that Sterl couldn't handle it. With three uses of the legendary ability, Sterl had his shadow clone, the Star Radiance Dragon's protective power, and a resurrection armor.

There was no way he couldn't get through this!

However, Sterl had a nagging feeling that the real enemy was the Dark Moon Alliance! He had to keep some cards up his sleeve.

By stepping in to save people now, Sterl aimed to create more cannon fodder for himself. He had secretly infused the power of the Moon Law into the players' bodies during the healing process.

Sterl couldn't give them the Coughing Blood BUFF, but he could ensure that these players gradually lost their sanity during the battle, ultimately absorbing the BOSS's three big moves!

The healed players had no idea they were being manipulated. They gratefully looked at the unremarkable young man who had just saved them.

"Thanks, brother!"

"Priest, stay behind us. If they want to hurt you, they'll have to walk over our dead bodies first!"

"Everyone, form up! Protect this guy!"

The players quickly realized Sterl's importance. He could dish out such high healing amounts effortlessly! A key asset! They had to protect him!

Sterl was more than happy to let them think so. He didn't need to fight. He just healed the players who were injured by the boss.

His [Healing Starlight] wasn't particularly strong, but after activating divine descent and Life Ignite, his basic attributes alone allowed him to heal far more than other priests.

Under his guidance, the players grew more reckless, charging forward with increased ferocity. Of course, Sterl's methods couldn't compare to the Dark Moon Alliance.

He merely leveraged the message that there was an infinite healing priest at the rear, so they didn't need to fear, encouraging them to charge bravely. They still retained their subjective will.

The BOSS roared furiously, continuously swinging its blade-like arms and occasionally emitting soundwave control attacks, but these were all countered by Sterl's active healing and the dispelling spells of other priest players!

The players present were all elites, extremely skilled in various boss-fighting strategies. They quickly chipped away at the World's Abomination's life force. Some players even actively sought out the boss's blade attacks, getting themselves cut into pieces to allow their teammates to deal higher damage.

Subsequently, these players were healed and revived by the priests.

The battle seemed to be going smoothly.

Until the boss finally lost its cool and unleashed its first legendary ability!

Heaven Water Tidal Surge!

Boom!!!

Massive torrents of water materialized directly from the space around them, surrounding the players from all directions. The azure waters quickly enveloped the players' bodies like a cage.

The range of this move wasn't too large, but it still managed to control over fifty players. Struggling as if suffocating, their life energy was rapidly drained and transformed into power, flowing into the boss.

In mere moments, dozens of players were sucked dry!

Sterl wanted to heal them, but it was too late. The healing light was blocked by the water.

And the BOSS instantly restored itself to full health by absorbing the life force.

The situation took a drastic turn.

Sterl, however, smiled slightly. He realized he might have been overly worried. The range of this Heaven Water Tidal Surge wasn't as large as he had feared.

Although it killed over fifty players, Sterl found he could completely avoid it by reacting during the boss's wind-up.

But his good mood didn't last long, as the players' previously unstoppable momentum came to a screeching halt.

"No way? It restored itself to full health just like that."

"You've got to be kidding!!"

"No, no, this is way too overpowered!"
