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

Bang!

With a tremendous explosion, the bones within the Lord of Evil Spirits shattered completely, transforming into a bizarre cloud of smoke that rapidly swept away a group of his players and demons, charging off into the distance.

The remaining space confinement from the Succubus Queen was easily broken apart.

Dark gray streaks were left behind, quickly spreading outwards, and it took a long time for the Succubus Queen's power to gradually neutralize them.

At this moment, Licitris did not intervene; instead, she glanced at Sterl with some regret. "I may not be able to help you take revenge on those who were saved by Rog."

"I'm sorry for putting you in this position."

Huh?

Was this something a deity should say? And she was apologizing for making him feel wronged? What on earth did he have to feel wronged about?

Lovic was killed by Mephistopheles, and the Lord of Evil Spirits couldn't touch him at all. Was this really something to be called wronged? He wouldn't mind being wronged like that!

Countless demons, players from [Swallowing Heaven], several Supremes under the Succubus Queen, and powerful beings lingering within the Succubus Queen's faction—even the three deities from the main world who were observing everything here through a special item—all couldn't help but blink in disbelief.

"Why do I feel a bit envious of this kid?"

"If I became a god and was treated like this by a goddess… tsk tsk tsk."

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves; we need to stop Rog and catch both of them at once."

The three deities from the main world chatted among themselves.

Except for the elderly-looking deity, the other two looked at Mephistopheles with expressions of jealousy.

Gods were more capable of sensing the emotions and truths hidden within words, after all.

Even though the Succubus Queen was renowned for her ability to tempt and manipulate hearts and minds, the three deities had prepared themselves with multiple buffs to resist Licitris's abilities in order to deal with this divine-level demon.

The Succubus Queen could control a person's life and soul with just a few words.

It was precisely these layers of controversy that convinced the deities that Licitris was being sincere at this moment.

…

As for Sterl himself, he was at a loss for what expression to wear.

He was stunned.

The Succubus Queen's attitude was almost excessively kind; he didn't know how to respond.

Sterl was also a normal man, and Licitris's allure was already terrifying; being treated this way by her made him slightly excited.

But…

Sterl quickly regained his composure. The power of temptation was indeed formidable. Even though he was effectively immune to her controlling effects, the Succubus Queen certainly didn't rely solely on brute mental manipulation to captivate others—there were also verbal and behavioral inducements!

This was something to be cautious of!

Although Sterl couldn't help but feel a surge of affection for Licitris, he continuously reminded himself to stay composed.

Then…

He was hit by another wave of temptation.

As the Lord of Evil Spirits and his forces withdrew, the Succubus Queen gradually approached Sterl. With every movement, her tall, perfectly sculpted figure swayed slightly, radiating immense allure.

While Sterl was immune to the effects of charm, the pure beauty and seduction expressed through the Succubus Queen's physicality stirred something within him, causing a subtle rush of blood down below and igniting a spark of excitement in his mind.

Before Sterl could even gather his thoughts on how to respond to the queen, Licitris closed in on him with incredible speed, characteristic of a divine-level demon.

Before he knew it, he felt as if he were enveloped in a warm embrace of jade, accompanied by delightful sensations coursing over his body.

Licitris wrapped her arms around him.

The thin veil she wore had the power to obscure detection; others present could not see Licitris's true form through it.

However, the material of the veil was so light that when Sterl was embraced, it felt as if he were touching Licitris's bare skin.

A wave of warmth and slickness emanated from her as she held him.

"Mephistopheles, I'm quite fond of you. How about you come back to my kingdom with me?"

"I will treat you well and prepare resources for your ascension to divinity."

"Shall we conquer the hells together in the future?"

Licitris spoke with a voice as soft as the gentlest brush, tickling Sterl's heart.

Her tone was incredibly sincere, and the content of her words left Sterl in a daze.

Am I going to be taken care of?

Resources for becoming a god are already prepared??

Sterl felt his mouth go dry, and he was… barely able to resist!

He had originally intended to stay put, regardless of the Succubus Queen's intentions, to bide his time and turn the tables when the opportunity arose.

But now…

Sterl felt that even standing still was a form of torture.

In the realm of the mind, he was immune to everything, but physically, he was responding instinctively.

At that moment, Licitris didn't feel like a deity; she resembled a young girl in love, incredibly tender and affectionate.

Sterl had thought his heart was as solid as iron, yet he found it difficult to withstand her allure!

"Alright! How about this: you don't rush to punish my subordinates."

"Let's leave the layer of hell for now and go to my palace."

"I have forged a bed out of a hundred thousand years of ice jade. Would you like to try its texture?"

Licitris had completely wrapped herself around Sterl.

Without him even realizing it, her initially normal embrace had shifted into a more intimate hold.

Sterl's mind remained unaffected, but his entire body was in turmoil, blood surging restlessly. He felt an overwhelming urge to accept Licitris's proposition without hesitation.

Yet this was merely the result of the Succubus Queen not using any external means; it was purely the allure of her physical charm and the temptation of her words.

"Since I have the Solidification Method, it should be fine to enjoy Licitris, right?"

Sterl forced himself to analyze the situation.

At the same time…

Swish!

He activated the power of Destructive Light within his mental realm, and an intense pain shot through his soul, snapping him back to clarity in an instant.

"Wait a minute."

"Having the Succubus Queen as a casual partner isn't bad, but developing feelings for a demon is foolish."

"If she truly is so infatuated with me, that could be a point I can leverage."

"For example, using the Blood Sacrifice Array to refine Licitris? That might create another Origin of Chaos."

Sterl's physical body remained in a state of arousal.

But his will had returned to calm, as unyielding as steel.

He meticulously recalled Licitris's various reactions and actions.

There were only two possible explanations.

Either he himself could provide the Succubus Queen with some extraordinarily terrifying benefits…

But that still wouldn't explain why a divine-level demon would treat him with such deference, would it?

The power of a divine-level being was not something that Mephistopheles could contend with.

The second possibility was that Licitris genuinely felt an inexplicable fondness for him.

Just like before with Flanda, Sterl wasn't foolish; he noticed that after mastering the Solidification Method and following those days of stat increases, Flanda's gaze toward him had grown increasingly passionate, almost as if she wanted to pull him in.

Could it be that mastering this technique grants an attraction bonus to Succubi?

Sterl pondered, considering that the first possibility couldn't be entirely ruled out. Perhaps the Succubus Queen's style was to manipulate hearts rather than resort to brute control. But the likelihood of that was low; Sterl's nature was to observe his surroundings cautiously.

He also recalled that earlier, several Supremes under Licitris had been forcibly altered in their mental states.

Licitris did not shy away from forcibly controlling others.

Moreover…

"Mephistopheles, once you become a god, you can be my true partner. I will announce to my kingdom and my people that you will share in all that I have."

The Succubus Queen's eyes sparkled with a strange light, exuding a captivating aura.

Sterl could sense the abundance of emotion in her words.

It didn't seem like an act at all.

At the same time, Licitris's legs gently rubbed against Sterl's lower body, sending waves of peculiar sensations through him. Even though he was clothed, it felt as if he were completely naked, and the physical arousal was intensifying.

As the waves of inexplicable pleasure surged through him, Sterl felt he was on the verge of losing control.

He made up his mind.

In that case…

He would follow Licitris back to her layer of hell and see if he could gain even greater benefits.

Uh…

It was certainly not because he wanted to experience the Succubus Queen's allure…

If Licitris was wearing a disguise, Sterl had his ace up his sleeve with his ability to ascend to godhood, and he could escape anytime he pleased.

If she wasn't a disguise…

Then he truly had an immense trust in himself.

The next Origin of Chaos would be within reach, and before refining Licitris, he could extract numerous resources from her.

A win-win!

I would be winning twice over.

Sterl remained calm; Licitris's feelings for him were her own concern. For the sake of his own growth, he would not hesitate to sacrifice Licitris if the opportunity arose.

Moreover…

Sterl's principle was to only take virgins into his harem, but the Succubus Queen had undoubtedly been sought after by countless others. Although it was likely that those "others" had been the ones used instead.

In Sterl's value system, he didn't particularly care about the concept of virginity, but in a world where personal power was paramount, why shouldn't he indulge a little?

At that moment…

Licitris skillfully used her charms to entice Mephistopheles, watching as this desirable figure gradually lost composure, her own mood lifting even higher. Little did she know that the person she was smiling at harbored his own hidden plans.

And this scene…

Countless demons and players below could not see clearly, thanks to the shielding effect of Licitris's Divine Power.

Yet they could guess what the Succubus Queen intended to do by approaching Mephistopheles.

Thinking about it, this notorious and alluring queen, known for her fearsome reputation, was likely to do something that would make Mephistopheles experience what "paradise" truly felt like.

This thought ignited a fire in the eyes of almost all the male demons and player characters!

After the Lord of Evil Spirits fled, the players in the Succubus Queen's faction, who had previously clashed with Sterl, remained in a state of bondage, suffering immensely, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

What tormented them even more was—
