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

The mysterious demigod ensnared by the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] actually managed to break free!

No, it wasn't exactly a break free.

The mysterious demigod forcefully braced against the pale white Thunder chains released by the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] and charged right in front of the other demigods.

Such a move could only lead to the mysterious demigod wasting the last opportunity to evade before the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] unleashed its skills…

Facing skills powered by Divine Power, covering such a short distance was utterly useless.

"What are you trying to do?"

"Wait, is he trying to get himself killed??"

All the demigods were momentarily stunned by this realization.

In the next second, their expressions changed drastically as the mysterious demigod charged directly into the storm of skills unleashed by the other demigods, triggering an explosion ahead of time!

Accompanied by the surge of dazzling energy orbs, the residual waves of various elemental Law Powers and platinum-level skills transformed into rays of energy that scattered in all directions.

At the same time, the pale blue Thunder from the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] crashed into the fray, completely igniting all the skills!

And at that moment…

Although the dazzling energy chaos appeared more magnificent than the combined force of the various skills, its power had undoubtedly been reduced to its limits.

Threads of energy collided with the Blood Sacrifice Array's array plate, only causing a slight ripple; it was nowhere near enough to shake the array.

After all, this was a divine-level array. Given its inherent fragility before completion, it was reasonable that the demigods could shatter it with their combined efforts. However, if the residual waves of their attacks could destroy it, that would be absurd.

Seeing this, the demigods felt a sharp pang of frustration; the precious opportunity they had just earned was fleeting. Moreover, after simultaneously unleashing their powerful skills, they would need some time to recover before launching a second round of attacks, and now this excellent chance was lost.

The divine-level array was still intact!

All their faces turned grim to the extreme!

However…

The demigods remained highly alert, scanning their surroundings while accumulating their skills.

They clearly understood what had just transpired: the mysterious demigod had thrown himself into the fray, using his body to block the desperate strike from the demigods, thereby preserving the divine-level array.

At the same time, he had also mitigated a round of attacks from the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism], causing this divine-level entity to fall back into a scanning state, searching for enemies.

But the demigods weren't foolish enough to believe that the mysterious demigod was sacrificing himself to protect the array; he must have some means of self-preservation, or perhaps even if he died just now, he had a resurrection item!

However…

They were partially right, but not entirely!

Sterl now understood that the divine descent truly lived up to its status as an SSS-grade talent. The resurrection armor he possessed was far stronger than the revival ability attached to the [Rebirth Flame Armor].

He didn't have to rush to resurrect himself; instead, he could wander around the battlefield in his soul state. This meant he could calmly wait until the battle concluded. However, if he activated the [Rebirth Flame Armor]'s equipment effect, he would have to resurrect immediately.

At this moment, Sterl was waiting with a relaxed expression: "Looks like this is my first time dying."

"There's no way around it..."

"To enter the fray and maximize the benefit, one must take risks."

As Sterl observed the battlefield with intense focus, he had to be wary of the demigods organizing another wave of attacks against the array. It wasn't that the Blood Sacrifice Array was set up too slowly; rather, the reaction speed of the demigod-level warriors was incredibly fast—one second was enough for them to perform multiple actions.

Fortunately, after a wave of attacks, the demigods paused for a moment.

One second passed…

The colorful glow on the array plate became even more radiant.

Two seconds passed…

The various nodes of the array had already completed their connections.

Three seconds passed…

A strange pattern rapidly condensed on the array plate; this was the final step.

At that moment, the demigods had finished recovering and were once again frantically squeezing out the energy within them to unleash their skills…

Wait, it seemed they hadn't been able to launch their attacks.

After hesitating for a moment, the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] once again chose to target the only remaining living beings on the battlefield—the demigods.

This time, it unleashed the pale white Thunder chains once more, and every demigod was fortunate enough to receive one.

Instantly, these individuals had no choice but to abandon their attacks on the array and prioritize self-preservation. Destroying the array was meant to ensure their survival afterward, but charging in to destroy it now would lead to immediate death.

In an instant, the demigods cast their skills against the pale white chains, not because they didn't want to use defensive skills, but mainly because they had already expended most of their life-saving items in the previous wave. Now, they could only go on the offensive, attempting to cancel out the chains with their skills.

However…

The white platinum-level skills and Law Powers were easily pierced by the seemingly weak pale white chains.

Fortunately, the demigods were mentally prepared for this, and each one desperately tried to dodge.

Surprisingly, there were no new casualties in this wave, mainly because the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] had exerted very little effort against each of them.

This divine-level entity was strong, even capable of wielding various types of Divine Power. But the problem was that it had very little energy within it; the power it possessed was merely a fragment of the great Divine Power, unable to sustain high-intensity combat.

Yet, despite seeing the terrifying boss at its last gasp, the demigods felt no sense of relief.

The time wasted during this wave had allowed the array to fully form; all the nodes were completely connected, and the colorful array shimmered as it directly merged into the void, becoming one with the entire grand array.

Clearly, once the array was fully formed, it would be impossible to destroy it.

Countless blood-red light points surged wildly, transforming in the blink of an eye from a light drizzle into a heavy snowfall, and then into a dense fog that reduced visibility significantly.

But just at this critical moment…

Beep… Beep…

The [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] suddenly seemed to sense danger and charged toward the array!

It appeared to lack consciousness, yet it possessed a certain instinct to seek benefit and avoid harm.

The expressions on the faces of the demigods changed so rapidly that they barely had time to process it—

from panic and despair to surprise.

They couldn't affect a divine-level array, but a true god could!

A jolt of realization struck their hearts!

However…

е%ոј&о!у-ои$--

It was useless!

At that very moment, a beam of golden light suddenly illuminated the area, and a figure appeared at a great distance from where the array was about to vanish, holding at least dozens of orange-yellow mechanical creations.

This was Sterl, activating the resurrection effect of his divine descent.

In an instant…

The [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] abandoned the array and frantically charged toward that figure!

Sterl didn't even bother to resist; he knew he couldn't escape. He stood in place, rapidly channeling his incantations.

The expressions of the many demigods were strange; they couldn't quite grasp what was happening. The situation had flipped several times,

first hinting that the divine unit would destroy the array, then that it would be drawn away again, leaving them utterly dizzy!

But perhaps…

The demigods still held a glimmer of hope that if they could kill that mysterious demigod, there might still be a chance?

I refuse to believe he can have two resurrection opportunities!

Absolutely impossible!

In reality…

Sterl did not disappoint these demigods; he didn't reveal his second resurrection.

As the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] flew, its speed gradually slowed, eventually transforming to a pace akin to an ordinary person's run, unable to reach Sterl. All the countless blood-red light points within its body were extracted and surged into the sky.

Ultimately, this divine-level entity crumbled into a heap of broken metal, clattering and falling to the ground, shattered to pieces.

It was… over!

Huh?

What?

This… this can't be right??

The divine-level boss was just taken down by the array in an instant!

All the demigods present were left dumbfounded.

They had anticipated many outcomes but never expected that the purpose of the divine-level array was not to deal with them, but to slay gods!

And to do so so effortlessly!

Not long after the array had formed, it had directly refined the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism]!

"What is this…"

"It's over!"

The demigods soon displayed even greater terror in their eyes; they could feel that after the divine unit had been refined, the aura of the grand array surged even more fiercely!

Clearly, the refining process could feed back into the array itself!

In an instant, the group was numb, frozen in place.

The demigods didn't know what to do.

Initially, their hope was to destroy the divine-level array and stall until the boss's Divine Power was exhausted.

Now the boss was gone, but the divine-level array was even stronger, and there was no escape! The blood-red barrier also prevented the players from using any teleportation skills to flee.

What should they do?

Against a divine-level array, this was impossible.

The power of the array was limitless; once it was formed, it was akin to a divine unit. The demigods were nothing more than ants in the face of such existence!

Flee?

Try to deceive the blood-red barrier?

The logic was sound, but it would require time.

That mysterious demigod wasn't a fool; he wouldn't let the other demigods manipulate the situation to teleport away…

And the most terrifying part was…

Standing still wouldn't work either!

As the demigods contemplated their next move, they felt the surge of blood-red light points causing their attributes to drop by over 30%.

In just a few more seconds, they would likely meet the same fate as that divine-level boss and be refined as well!

The demigods were still fine at the moment because the array's primary target was not them.

At this moment, despair engulfed them completely!

Every escape route was blocked!

What was there to play for??

They might as well wait for death!

However…

While the demigods were panicking, Sterl approached them with a relaxed and content expression.

A faint smile adorned Sterl's face, as if everything was under his control.

Within the blood-red array, everything was silent; the array itself made no sound, merely refining in silence. Plants and animals were being refined, and the air no longer flowed under the array's influence. Everything was terrifyingly quiet.

The only sounds that could be heard were the thuds of boots on the sandy ground.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

Each step felt like a weight upon their hearts, creating immense pressure.

This was precisely the atmosphere Sterl intended to create.

"I give myself a perfect score for this show-off."

"It feels just like the moment the main villain appears at the climax of a movie before transmigrating!"

On the surface, he appeared cool and composed, but inside, he was still lost in his own chaotic thoughts.
