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

The moment these words were spoken, the faces of the demigod guild players changed drastically once more!

Then...

They exchanged glances, their eyes suddenly turning extremely sinister.

Better them than me.

A phrase flashed through the minds of the legendary players. It was unclear who started it, but suddenly, a scream erupted from the crowd: "Otto, are you crazy? After all these years of friendship..."

"You actually...??" A middle-aged man with a gloomy expression looked at his former close friend in disbelief.

The middle-aged man had considered killing other legendary players to earn a chance at survival.

When faced with a Supreme, no matter how cruel or vicious their words, you had to comply.

Resistance was a dead end.

But he never expected his friend to choose to target him first.

Why? Was it because he thought I wouldn't be on guard?

At that moment, similar scenes unfolded repeatedly.

The legendary players from the demigod guild, many of whom knew each other previously, didn't hesitate to reveal their fangs to former friends and colleagues!

Sterl watched with a smile, pleased by what he saw.

He wasn't a psychopath who enjoyed the dark side of human nature or anything like that.

Having more slaves in the guild wasn't a bad thing; it could help him quickly earn the contribution points needed for guild upgrades and assist in selling various equipment and items for Sterl.

And with the current method of selection, these legendary players, willing to kill even close friends and relatives to survive, who would dare trust them in the future?

They would be forever relegated to being vassals and puppets of the Twilight Guild!

With the myriad skill effects and the oppressive atmosphere, the members of the Twilight Guild, though feeling a sense of sweet revenge, also felt chills in their hearts watching the scene.

If they had chosen to betray once again, their fate would be no different from these legendary players.

At the same time, they felt extremely uneasy. Even if they hadn't betrayed, their previous attitudes weren't great. Would they be held accountable for that? That would be disastrous!

As for...

The surrounding onlookers, the more they watched, the more horrifying it seemed.

They felt that the demigod behind the Twilight Guild, no, the Supreme behind it...

Had to be somewhat of a psychopath!

The members of the demigod guilds that had offended the Twilight Guild were truly in hell now. And those who had mocked and ridiculed them wouldn't fare much better!

Could they even survive?

Amidst the low, agonizing screams and the flashing of various skill effects.

In the end, only 23 legendary players were left standing in the arena.

Each of them was covered in blood, having killed countless friends and partners with whom they had shared countless adventures.

The legendary players' faces turned ashen, realizing they had no way out.

They could only obediently walk up to Sterl, half-kneeling before him.

But Sterl merely smiled faintly and turned to the members of the Twilight Guild. "What are you waiting for?"

"Pick your slaves if you fancy any."

Sosia and Sonis wore mocking expressions as they looked at the legendary players.

Did you really think you could become the master's slaves after offending him?

No way!

Soon enough, the members of the Twilight Guild successfully signed a bunch of slave contracts, taking in the legendary players. Though these players had lost their freedom, their expressions brightened somewhat, as their lives had been spared.

Sterl then casually said, "All their belongings belong to me. You guys handle it, convert them into Valor Contribution Points and regular contribution points, and stockpile them for now."

"Understood! Understood!"

"Yes, sir!"

The members of the Twilight Guild nodded repeatedly.

Sterl then turned his gaze to the players who had earlier mocked them, with a kind smile on his face.

"Sir, we didn't mean it."

"We were just misled and spoke out of turn..."

"We had no idea the Twilight Guild had someone as powerful as you. Please spare us; if there's anything you need, just say the word..."

The players wailed one after another.

Earlier, they were so full of themselves with their sharp criticisms, and now they were full of regret.

Sterl had no intention of slaughtering them all.

Although he had revealed the power of the Silent Domain, his identity remained that of the demigod hidden behind the Twilight Guild.

Moreover, it wasn't strange for someone with Supreme-level strength to have obtained special skills from the Hall of Valor rewards.

There was no need for a massacre.

Sterl nodded casually, "Alright, pay a ransom for your lives."

Upon hearing this, the players collapsed in relief.

They knew their lives were spared.

"Thank you, Supreme Lord!"

"We will give everything we have!"

"Thank you! Thank you so much."

...

Sterl ignored these onlookers and turned to the surviving legendary players.

"Who holds the permissions for those guilds now?"

As soon as Sterl asked, a commotion erupted.

"Me!"

"I have it over here."

"What do you need, sir?"

...

The numerous legendary players spoke timidly.

In the guild system, if the guild leader died, the permissions would automatically transfer to the next highest-ranking member, such as the vice-leader.

If the vice-leader also died, it would continue down the hierarchy.

Until finally, the highest-ranking ordinary member would be selected as the guild leader.

Sterl spoke up, "Now, choose to dismantle all the guilds."

"And then channel the contribution power into my guild."

"What??"

The legendary players trembled slightly. Some wanted to argue that this was a huge loss. Many of the demigod guilds had already reached levels three or four and had guild shops.

Dismantling and converting them into contribution power would at most allow Twilight to reach level four ahead of time.

It was a massive loss.

But they didn't dare to voice their concerns.

On the other hand, Sosia and Sonis looked slightly puzzled. However, seeing the confident expression on their master's face, they voiced no objections.

Lord Sterl must have his reasons for his actions.

In reality...

As the crisp sounds rang out, the legendary players, acting as guild leaders, took out the emerald green stones symbolizing their guild cores and crushed them one by one.

Finally, beams of light converged towards Sterl.

However, there were only thirteen beams of light in the end.

Four guilds either had all their present members killed or had their inheritance rights fall to absent members.

Additionally, there was one guild leader—

The one previously captured by the Supreme. When he saw the Supreme trying to escape, he hid in the high skies, not daring to move. Earlier, Sterl had swiftly finished him off along with three other demigods using the Flowing Water Blade.

None of this guild leader's members were present.

But thirteen beams were already sufficient.

Sterl casually activated Shadow Stealth, slipping into the shadow world.

Then, he quickly used up all the stored divine series radiant-level guild core materials.

Instantly, Twilight's level skyrocketed to a level three guild.

First, two new buff enhancements appeared, followed by an additional boost from advancing three levels of the same quality!

A series of notifications flashed before Sterl's eyes.

[Congratulations, you have upgraded the guild Twilight to level two.]

[Congratulations, you have upgraded the guild Twilight to level three.]

[You have acquired a level two guild buff (radiant-level): Hades' Blessing. (With this buff, all guild members have one chance each month to resurrect at the guild's base or near other guild members upon death.)]

[You have acquired a level three guild buff (radiant-level): Fire Thief. (With this buff, all skills and Law Power gain a 20% reduction in consumption.)]

[You have acquired a radiant enhancement: Twilight of the Gods. (30% of the damage you deal to units with Divine Power or divine authority will ignore all resistances and damage reductions. Each time you kill a unit with these traits, the effect of ignoring resistance and damage reduction increases by an additional 1%.)]

"Let me see what's going on here," Sterl began with a calm expression, but soon, a look of slight astonishment crossed his face.

Since he was in the shadow world, Sterl didn't need to put on a facade. A flash of joy lit up his eyes.

"As expected of a radiant-level level three guild, these buffs are quite powerful!"

First, every guild member could enjoy a once-a-month resurrection. It was well-known that resurrection items were among the most precious in [Transcendence].

Not to mention, this was a reusable buff! And it wasn't limited by the member's strength level!

With this buff alone, Sterl could even recruit gods into the guild! After all, even gods feared death!

The second buff initially seemed less impressive to Sterl. It was useful but not particularly impactful, given his rapid power growth, leaving little time to focus on skill proficiency.

But he soon realized that with this buff, his blood force consumption was also reduced by 20%!

His expression shifted instantly.

"Great! You haven't let me down! Strong! Invincible!" Sterl exclaimed.

"The 'all consumption' reduction is the true value of this radiant-level buff!"

As for the final enhancement from advancing three levels—the Twilight of the Gods—Sterl was surprisingly calm.

It wasn't that the effect was weak; nearly 30% of his damage converted into true damage, and it could be triggered against any divine-level units, significantly boosting his combat power against gods.

Moreover, each time he killed a divine entity, the true damage conversion rate increased by 1%, with no upper limit. This meant that this buff could potentially reach 200%, 300%, or even higher in the future!

At that point, facing divine units would be like dealing with children for Sterl.

However, for now, he needed the blood force consumption reduction more urgently than increased damage output.

Finally, Sterl glanced at the guild shop, which displayed, [Refreshing, remaining time: 47:59:44].

Evidently, the guild shop would need two more days.

Sterl quickly made some adjustments. enjoy-on-NovelFire

The Twilight of the Gods enhancement was naturally not something he would share with other guild members.

He also made some careful modifications to the other buffs.
