Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Top-Tier Guild Material Set: Divine Relic
Sterl eagerly looked at the content displayed on his panel. The abilities of Silent Domain were revealed to be—

Silent Night (Basic)

The End of All Things (Requires both Laws to be at the Mastery level)

?????? (Requires both Laws to be at the Perfect level)

[Activation Requirements: Master either the Curse Law or the Arcane Law. If neither is mastered, only the gold-tier Silent Domain can be activated.]

As the wheel came to a stop, a golden light surged directly into Sterl’s mind.

He felt the power of the platinum skill—within the illusion, Sterl used The End of All Things by harnessing the Mastery level of both Laws to create an extremely dark domain.

This domain had no offensive capabilities, but except for Sterl, all units within it could not use any skills, activate any talents, traits, or blessings…

All items and equipment placed in this domain would rapidly decay and turn to dust.

Additionally, elemental and energy beings would quickly wither and dissipate within this domain.

Upon exiting the illusion, Sterl noticed a new skill on his panel—

[Silent Domain (Gold)]

[Effect: Passive: After you attack, you randomly nullify one of the opponent’s skills/traits/talents/equipment effects.

Active: Upon activating this ability, you create a silent domain based on your energy expenditure. In this domain, the opponent has a chance to fail when using skills/traits/talents/equipment effects. After using the active ability, there is a three-day cooldown.

You will lose the passive effect for three days.]

[To activate the platinum version, you must master both the Curse Law and the Arcane Law.]

“Guess I got excited too soon.”

Sterl sighed helplessly. He had been so focused on obtaining a platinum skill that he overlooked the fact that without the support of Law Power, he couldn’t use it effectively.

Fortunately, even the gold version of Silent Domain had a pretty decent effect, which was a control skill Sterl lacked.

The control effect was also excellent, rendering the opponent unable to use skills/traits/talents/equipment effects, which could drastically reduce their combat effectiveness.

The only issue was its randomness.

It might not necessarily seal the opponent’s core skills, but Sterl didn’t see that as a major problem. He just needed to figure out a high-frequency attack strategy to make it work.

That’s right, what he focused on was the passive effect of Silent Domain.

As for the active effect, which silences enemies on a large scale but only randomly seals some of their abilities, Sterl thought he’d have to be out of his mind to use it.

If he was just bullying weaker opponents, he wouldn’t need to use it at all. And if he was facing a strong enemy and was surrounded by foes that he could only beat with such a random effect, he’d be better off considering how to escape.

“But evolving it to a platinum skill means it can nullify traits and talents?” He immediately thought of the Devourer of All Things he encountered in the extreme trials.

Silent Domain would be extremely effective against it, nullifying the Devourer of All Things’ Divine Protection and its trait to Consume Everything, allowing any player of the same level to easily slaughter it.

“So, the Hall of Valor is designed to counter the Devourer of All Things?”

“The catastrophe was caused by such special monsters.”

The more Sterl learned, the more he felt his initial guesses were correct.

He couldn’t help but smile.

Indeed!

It was such a disaster that brought this opportunity; otherwise, why would the Hall of Valor give him a platinum skill through a random draw?

A skill as powerful as Silent Domain would cost at least 100,000 Valor Contribution Points!

“However, it’s best to keep this skill deactivated most of the time.” After some thought, Sterl decided to pause the passive effect of Silent Domain, choosing to activate it himself when necessary.

“The Hall of Valor would never place the resolution of a catastrophe solely on my shoulders.”

“That means quite a few people, perhaps even gods, have obtained abilities similar to Silent Domain.”

“If I reveal that I have this ability, those in the know will be certain that my potential level is at least among the best performers in the extreme trials.”

Even after acquiring such a high-level skill, Sterl remained cautious.

After sorting out the issues with Silent Domain,

Sterl chose to open the special store and began shopping for supplies. It didn’t take him long to select his first reward.

[Guild Material Set: Divine Relic]

[Effect: Using this item will grant you six sets of SSS-grade guild materials, enough to upgrade to a Tier 3 guild.]

This had been Sterl’s goal from the start.

He just didn’t expect the rewards to be so terrifying after breaking the record and earning 60,000 points!

Directly granting all the materials needed for a Tier 3 guild.

Sterl had previously asked Teresa about the costs of building a guild and knew that a guild couldn’t be fully established just by investing materials and funds.

Investing top-tier resources would only get you a top-tier Tier 1 guild.

Upgrading the guild would require even more resources. For example, a Tier 2 guild would need double the materials, and a Tier 3 guild would require materials equivalent to four times that of a Tier 1 guild.

If the invested resources are not of high enough quality, the benefits provided by a Tier 2 guild will decrease in quality. Only by continuously investing top-tier guild materials and a massive amount of purple gold coins can the guild maintain the highest benefits!

Additionally, Tier 3 is a significant transformation point for a guild. Each time a guild ascends to Tier 3, it gains an extra buff. If all enhancements remain at the same quality upon reaching every 10 tiers, a special ability will be born.

Sterl’s initial plan was to establish a Tier 1 guild first and gradually gather the resources needed for future upgrades. For instance, he could participate in the Valor Combatants Tournament. But now, with just one Trial of the Brave, he could build an incredibly powerful guild!

Sterl still didn’t know if SSS-grade guild materials could be further enhanced, but even if they couldn’t, a Tier 3 guild that consistently maintains SSS-quality enhancements will birth an immensely powerful buff!

Sterl had initially planned to use the guild to help him consume various resources. However, the current situation was that the guild itself could provide him with a massive combat boost. Moreover, the guild would be extremely attractive to other players!

Sterl instantly changed his mind. What about the players he befriended during the extreme trials who wanted to join his guild? How could he let them join for free? They’d all have to pay up, or they could just leave!

Not only would they have to pay, but they also wouldn’t get the full benefits. Otherwise, it would be too obvious that Sterl’s guild maintained an SSS-quality enhancement all the time.

In high spirits, Sterl opened the material set. Immediately, his screen was filled with notifications:

[You have obtained Zeus’s Thunder (SSS)] +

[You have obtained Jade Emperor’s Robe (SSS)] +

[You have obtained Anubis’s Obsidian (SSS)] +

[You have obtained Tsukuyomi’s Mirror (SSS)] +

[You have obtained Hermes’s Wing (SSS)] +

[You have obtained Odin’s Lance (SSS)] +

“Indeed, these are divine relics.”

“The names of the items are all related to gods.” Sterl felt quite pleased because each of these items had a plus sign next to them. Although it was a forced enhancement symbol, meaning these materials could only be upgraded once, he was still satisfied.

The original plan was to build an SSS-quality Tier 3 guild. Now, it would be a Radiant-tier guild!

How powerful would those enhancements be?

He was already getting excited…

Yet amidst his excitement, Sterl couldn’t shake the feeling that he was overlooking something.

At this moment, if humanity from Earth—no, to be precise, if the Dark Moon Goddess Gloria herself were here—she would undoubtedly realize something significant. The names associated with these relics were all from Earth’s ancient mythology, truly worthy of being called “gods.”

These were beings that could genuinely be considered “gods,” unlike the so-called “gods” in [Transcendence], where hundreds or even thousands could possess the same divine authority. These were not clowns who, despite wielding immense power, would lose all their Divine Power if killed in the game!

Meanwhile, Sterl was blissfully unaware of these deeper implications. He cheerfully stashed all the materials into his small world, planning to enhance them later. He then turned his attention back to the exchange store to pick his final reward.

And this time, Sterl was genuinely torn. There were so many good options that he had no idea which one to choose.

Among the skills, he could directly select a Law Power Insight Package or a platinum-grade skill. What the…

[Arcane Law Insight Voucher]

[Description: A rare item issued by the Hall of Valor, obtainable only through special means.]

[Effect: You can enter a specific world without restrictions to comprehend the Arcane Law until you fully understand it. If you already possess this Law, you are allowed to elevate its level by one major stage.]

[Flowing Water Law Insight Voucher]

[Curse Law Insight Voucher]

…

[Night of Neverwinter (Platinum)]

[Proclamation (Platinum)]

[Harvest of the Long Night (Platinum)]

…

As for equipment, although Sterl didn’t have to worry too much, the top-tier items available in the store were suited for third-class legends or even demigods:

[Wrath of Heaven (Legendary)]

[Category: Armor]

[Grade: Demigod]

[Description: …]

[Effect: Increases all attributes by 150 and adds an additional 20%. Enhances all attribute effects by 20% and Law Power effects by 30%.]

[Attached Skill: Heavenly Meteor (Platinum)]

…

[Phantom God’s Flute (Legendary)]

[Grade: Demigod]

…

Any item Sterl casually picked would be incredibly overpowered. There were also items that second-class characters could directly use, but choosing those felt like a waste due to their relatively lower attributes compared to the higher-grade ones.

The item category was filled with countless rare treasures. Sterl felt that each one was useful, each one worth picking. He even found another Flower of All-Seeing Wisdom, which he had already consumed once before, and the Fire of Ten Thousand Souls that he currently possessed.

After much deliberation, Sterl made his decision. He swiftly tapped a few options in the void, then silently pressed the confirm button in the store.
