Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener-Chapter 747: Attention! Ambush! Three Powerful Gods!

"Monster? I’m no monster. I’m just an ordinary person who seeks a piece of pure land."

Sterl rarely spoke to Fay, but he was extremely satisfied with the effects of Phantom Purgatory.

Even someone as powerful as Ancient Behemoth Fay was nearly brought to the brink of death by a single combo. If Phantom Purgatory’s consumption could be reduced just a little, it would have definitely been able to finish him off in one go, an instant kill!

However, the consumption of Phantom Purgatory was no longer considered a flaw. With a 20% soul power consumption per second, it allowed him to maintain it for a maximum of five seconds. Combined with the incredibly high base damage of Phantom Purgatory, it fully met the [Transcendence] system’s description of this talent, the Power of the Forbidden!

It consumed a lot, but the damage was equally terrifying, making it Sterl’s strongest trump card.

Especially when Fay was in his full explosive state, aside from this ability, Sterl wasn’t sure he could defeat Fay.

Unless he disregarded consumption and costs, activated the Star-Bone Body to its extreme limits, and continuously stacked the Power of Star-Bone, then there might be a chance to win.

"You..."

Hearing Sterl’s words, Fay felt numb. Such an evil and bizarre ability, and yet he still had the nerve to call himself an ordinary person. Fay had never encountered such shamelessness before.

Struggling to maintain his physical form, Fay’s heart felt heavy. He had been severely injured. If it was just physical damage, with his vitality and the healing from the Sea of Blood, he would quickly recover to full strength.

But the damage caused by that Flame burn was on a soul level, a real soul injury.

Even he, with all his power, couldn’t recover from such an injury in a short time, and his strength would be weakened as a result.

In addition to the high soul damage, Phantom Purgatory also had another effect: pain, an extreme pain.

Just the thought of being trapped in that place, like an animal bound and burned, made Fay shiver.

He never wanted his soul to be dragged in again. Even if it meant entering a perilous void, he would never want to experience that again.

But Sterl would not let such a good opportunity slip by.

The hatred between him and the Kingdom of Orichalcum was irreconcilable. As the saying goes, strike when the iron is hot—if he could take down Fay, not only would it weaken the Kingdom of Orichalcum’s fighting power, but it would also have a deterring effect, buying more time to breathe.

So...

Sterl’s eyes narrowed slightly, and Fay immediately sensed the danger. A blood-red aura surged out.

But his soul had been severely damaged, and the aura only spread for a brief moment before it shattered and vanished.

At the same time, numerous Threads of the Starry Dome appeared out of nowhere, quickly enveloping Fay. A faint sense of danger pricked at Fay’s brain like the sharp point of a needle, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end.

"You better make your move now, or just wait to collect my corpse!"

Fay couldn’t help but roar, feeling both frustrated and enraged.

This was undoubtedly the most miserable battle he had ever fought. Sterl’s abilities were simply too counter to him, and as a ferocious beast, his soul was his weakness.

On top of that, Sterl’s physical body wasn’t weak either; it was just slightly inferior to his in full-powered state. That small gap, under the effects of Phantom Purgatory, was quickly closed and even surpassed.

So he understood: at his current state, if this continued, he was headed for certain death.

However, this mission was not one he was handling alone.

After Sterl’s full exposure, they had learned everything about him in a very short amount of time.

It could be said that Sterl’s potential, his rapid rise in strength, and his bizarre abilities had completely shocked the entire Kingdom of Orichalcum.

Most crucially, after learning of Sterl’s information, the Wings of the Divine Kingdom—who had been silent for an unknown period—sent word that no matter the cost, they must capture him alive.

This command had immediately shaken the upper realms of Orichalcum.

Because the Wings of the Divine Kingdom were said to be the only channel connecting to the Great Divine Beings, meaning that capturing Sterl was an order from the Great Divine Beings themselves!

Immediately, the upper realms of Orichalcum began to treat the situation with the utmost seriousness. Faced with such an enemy, once they chose to strike, they would leave no room for escape. It was either no action at all or a lethal blow!

The reason they hadn’t appeared together was twofold: one, to contain the situation, as they feared Sterl might use some method to escape; and two, to have Fay probe the cards that Sterl was holding, especially since they were dealing with an enemy who had stirred the attention of that existence. They had to ensure everything was foolproof.

Now, however, their primary objective was nearly fulfilled, and the true capture was only just beginning.

Upon hearing this, Sterl’s heart skipped a beat. The Threads of the Starry Dome, which had been binding Fay, began to retract forcefully, while a crystallized layer of energy formed on his body’s surface.

This was a highly condensed version of the Threads of the Starry Dome, possessing extremely high defensive capabilities. Even against the siege of several powerful Divine Powers, it could buy him some time.

But just then, an eerie wave enveloped him.

It felt as if countless hands were tearing at his soul, trying to pull it out of his body. Intense pain surged from all directions, as though his very essence was about to be torn apart.

"This is bad..."

Sterl immediately understood. This was an ability targeting the soul, somewhat similar to his Purgatory Space. If his soul was forcibly dragged out, something terrible was bound to happen!

Behind Sterl, a gray-purple figure slowly materialized, revealing the presence of a second hidden powerful Divine Being!

This divine figure was vague and indistinct, its appearance unclear, but it was evident that it was extending both hands toward Sterl. Countless invisible threads poured from its hands, like an eerie manipulator hidden in the shadows.

Sterl couldn’t afford to deal with Fay anymore; he didn’t even dare to move his body. Instead, he focused all of his efforts on his soul, desperately fighting against this tearing force.

What he never expected was that he had never encountered an opponent’s soul power that made him feel so powerless before. This time, he actually felt like he couldn’t keep up.

His soul was being slowly dragged.

If he relaxed for even a moment, he could easily fall into an abyss from which there would be no return!

"I’ve been careless."

His mind sank with realization. It was obvious that he had underestimated the power of a strong Divine Power.

Compared to the upper-level divine authority, a powerful Divine Power seemed to be one that had pushed its mastery over Law and divine authority to the extreme.

This extremity allowed them to unleash an absolute force within their domain, a force that was immensely strong.

For example, the figure that had been hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity was one who had pushed the powers of concealment and the soul to their limits—an immensely powerful Divine Power!

Even though Sterl’s soul strength was extremely high, facing such a powerful Divine Power, there was still a slight gap.

The most critical part was that, almost before the strike hit, his Dimension Perception gave no warning. By the time the signal came, it was already too late to escape.

Fortunately, due to the accumulation of his experiences, his soul had extremely high resistance. Even facing the grand move of this great Divine Being, which had been brewing for so long, he didn’t collapse immediately.

However, at that moment, Sterl’s Dimension Perception gave another warning.

Above his head, a ball of pitch-black power was gathering, and an ominous aura immediately enveloped the entire royal city.

This was the third powerful Divine Power!

To deal with Sterl, the Kingdom of Orichalcum had paid quite a heavy price, directly summoning three powerful Divine Powers!

Such a terrifying lineup—not to mention taking down an Alpha 8 world—could even sweep through hell before it had been corrupted!

The next moment, a black chain shot out from the dark energy mass, precisely shackling Sterl’s left arm.

Immediately, dark energy surged from the shackles, quickly corroding his body. Even though the Divine Mark on Sterl’s surface emitted a blinding light, it still couldn’t resist the force.

He soon began to feel weak. If this were represented in the data of the [Transcendence] system, the black chain had reduced all his attributes by 10% and increased the inertia of all his abilities by 10%, including his soul power!

Immediately after, the second chain shot out.

Of course, Sterl would never surrender easily. His Dimension Perception warned him that if he were shackled by the second chain, the weakening effect would definitely increase exponentially.

If that happened, his soul would likely be unable to withstand the force pulling at him, causing his defenses to completely collapse.

As for what would happen next, he didn’t even want to think about it.

Just as the second chain was about to bind him, a golden shield suddenly enveloped Sterl’s body. The chain struck the shield with great force, but shockingly, there wasn’t even the slightest ripple.

At the same time, a massive, two-meter-long, broad sword appeared in front of Sterl. It was none other than the Sword of the World!
