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

The many gods observed David's figure on the screen with intense eagerness!

A great catastrophe was approaching, and an Array Master could unify the power of all units below the divine realm. Every god would desperately compete to recruit them.

Moreover, David might be an unparalleled genius!

If this scene were witnessed by the followers of other gods, their minds would collapse, and their faith would shatter!

The highly esteemed gods, behaving like common folk in a street brawl, quarreling with one another!

All for the sake of securing David.

The prior aloofness and divine indifference they displayed upon first discovering David were completely gone!

Seeing the gods around him enthusiastically outbidding each other for David, the Demon Lord felt a pang of heartache.

I really lost big this time!

"Wait!"

"He's encountered other players!"

"No way!"

"And they're some guys who just sacrificed others."

"Demon Lord, you set up this array. Hurry and notify David to take a detour!"

...

The gods were still busy outbidding each other.

At the same time, their keen senses easily picked up the content on the spatial screen.

Instantly, they grew anxious. David was exceptional in every way but was a bit weak in personal strength, not yet at the legendary level.

In the simplistic views of these gods, a third-class fighting a legendary was a death sentence!

However...

The gods soon noticed that Gloria stood calmly to the side, silent.

Suddenly, they had a sinking feeling.

Wait a minute, could it be that David's combat abilities are also formidable?

The gods refocused on the spatial screen and saw that after David encountered a group of two legendary and one third-class players, the players showed a hint of hostility.

David instantly disappeared and reappeared behind one of the legendaries, pointing a finger.

Then he vanished and pointed again.

After repeating this three times, the three players, who had previously slaughtered many others and made sacrifices while searching for spatial nodes, fell to the ground with blood holes in their bodies, without even a chance to show surprise!

The gods could only watch as David, his expression unchanged, continued to search for the next spatial node, as if the killing was as routine as eating or drinking water.

"What incredible combat prowess!"

"And... he learned legendary abilities before reaching the legendary realm??"

"How strong must David's talent be?"

"Gloria, let me have David! I'm the God of Hunting; I can bring out the maximum combat potential in players!"

"How about this: I'll give you the Moonshadow Stone mine you asked for last time."

"But you also have to tell me about David's usual conduct and preferences," the God of Jungle and Hunting, Cora, said with a serious and earnest expression.

The goddess, with an incomparably pure and alluring face, stared at David's figure on the spatial screen, even with a hint of fanaticism. Although the gods of the Hall of Valor often claimed that joining the Hall of Valor offered a chance to ascend to godhood, it was usually just a polite expression.

However, David genuinely gave Cora a sense of someone who could potentially reach the divine throne. If she could recruit him as a follower or even as a divine emissary, she might have a close companion at the godly level in the future!

At this point, no price was too high.

Meanwhile, the other gods were awestruck by Cora's generosity. The Moonshadow Stone mine was a unique resource of the Hall of Valor, impossible to find elsewhere, capable of refining the laws of moon and shadow.

Its value was immense, beyond estimation.

Countless demi-gods would go to any lengths for such a resource.

But now, Cora was willing to offer it without hesitation for a chance to recruit David.

Before the other gods could react, David on the spatial screen had already proactively confronted several teams of players multiple times. The combat outcomes were all straightforward and brutal—instant kills!

Whether it was piercing with a single finger, conjuring a strange flame, or summoning Celestial Stars from the sky, no one could withstand him!

Despite David's combat performance not being the most visually impressive—

On another spatial screen, Fred, also under the gods' scrutiny, encountered other players. His wide and powerful movements, casually swinging a massive axe behind his back, left corpses strewn everywhere.

Fred's visual impact was evidently more dramatic!

Yet the gods were still incredibly excited about David!

Fred was on the verge of breaking through to mid-tier legendary, and he was a fanatic of the God of War and Violence, a purely combat-oriented deity!

Fred's techniques might even be enhanced by the Divine Power of the God of War and Violence!

Such is the privilege of a fanatic.

Even a faint trace of Divine Power could significantly boost Fred's output!

David, however, had not joined any faction and was a lone wolf.

A disparity in strength between them was normal.

At this moment, the other gods, aside from Cora, exchanged glances and finally made up their minds.

"I'm willing to provide crafting for 200 legendary-tier or higher items in the future."

"David, let me have him!"

Alan did not hesitate.

"Didn't you always want my All-Spirit Holy Water? I'll give you ten vials! And like Cora, tell me all of David's preferences and habits," Candice decided promptly, bringing out her treasured items.

The All-Spirit Holy Water was a special item refined by the God of Healing and Protection using her dual divine authorities. It could even revive someone who had been dead for less than an hour, making it extremely precious.

Candice never sold the All-Spirit Holy Water; she used it to trade for critical resources with other gods. Now, offering ten vials at once was the most extravagant gesture she had made in nearly a century.

At this point, Gloria had yet to express her stance.

Gloria, smiling brightly, looked at the gathered gods and said, "Get lost!"

"Go die somewhere else!" she added "kindly."

"Fine, then we'll see who can use their means better."

"Gloria, you were just the first to know David; don't blame us for not showing you respect."

...

The fervent objections of the Dark Moon Goddess had no effect.

The gods continued to act as they pleased.

The Demon Lord felt that human emotions were not shared and only found their noise bothersome...

He increasingly felt that he had lost big time!

Especially since David's spatial talent was exceedingly high; in theory, Fred should have no chance of finding him!

When Fred sensed the positions of other players, David might have already completed the trial.

Wait!

A sudden bright idea flashed in his mind, bringing a surge of joy to his heart.

Because within the array, the distance between Fred and David was rapidly closing.

Fred was still searching aimlessly for new array nodes, clearly unable to control his own position within the array.

David, however, seemed to have a clear goal, heading straight towards Fred.

"Could it be that the next spatial node he chose is near Fred?"

"Good! Good! Good!"

The Demon Lord's heart was filled with joy.

He couldn't recruit David, so he had to pin his hopes on the original plan—

To successfully gain favor with the God of War and Violence.

Furthermore, after some consideration, the Demon Lord thought that David's relationship with Gloria was likely more complex than it appeared, making it highly probable he would be recruited by the Dark Moon Goddess.

If he could help Fred kill David, the God of War and Violence would surely owe him a huge favor.

Thus, the Demon Lord, noticing the players' proximity, remained calm and composed.

Until...

Swish!

With a flash of silvery-white light, David stepped into an array node resembling a teleportation point.

Then, on the spatial screen.

Fred, who had just finished slaying two players attacking him, wore a bloodthirsty smile and was preparing to sacrifice those fools to enhance his spatial power perception.

Suddenly, Fred's expression turned vigilant.

He sharply sensed a teleportation fluctuation behind him and shouted, "Who's there?"

This burly man, far from being as rash as he looked, was actually quite cautious.

But when he saw who it was...

Fred couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You actually delivered yourself to me."

"I'll make your death quick."

The fanatic of the God of War and Violence, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Meanwhile, the scene left the gods outside in a state of shock.

"Wait, what's going on?"

"How did David end up running into Fred?"

"Was he just unlucky, running into Fred while searching for spatial nodes?"

"Demon Lord, hurry up and use the array to get him out of there!"

...

The gods were too stunned to keep arguing among themselves.

Even Gloria, who knew David could challenge opponents above his level, felt a twinge of concern in her eyes.

Unlike the other gods who thought David stood no chance against Fred, she believed David had a fair chance, but facing a fanatic of a deity was no small matter.

It would be best if the Demon Lord intervened!

At this moment, the Demon Lord realized it was his time to shine. He deliberately put on a troubled expression and said, "Well… according to the Hall of Valor's rules, once the trial starts, we gods aren't supposed to interfere."

"You're putting me in a difficult position," he said, pretending to be righteous and law-abiding.

The other gods didn't suspect a thing; they assumed the Demon Lord was simply trying to avoid the hassle of competing for David and was using their anxiety to raise his asking price.

"What Hall of Valor's rules? The worst that could happen is you have to compensate some resources. We'll replenish them for you if need be," Gloria said, frowning.

A glint flashed in the Demon Lord's eyes.

His deception had worked!

"What can you offer?" The Demon Lord feigned negotiation, all the while stalling for time.

"We're willing to offer…"

"That won't do, it's too little."

What drove the gods even crazier was that the Demon Lord, in an attempt to hike up the price, insisted on dragging out the conversation. Instead of using mental communication, which would be instantaneous among gods, he chose to speak slowly.

What a trickster!.
