Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 362

Chapter 362: Chapter 362: The Bloodline of Humanity on Earth?
“Demon of Terror and Cruelty was actually a race from the upper realms, and it was born with divine-level strength??”

Sterl was slightly taken aback.

He had previously speculated that perhaps becoming a deity was the true beginning of the game in [Transcendence]/[Swallowing Heaven].

Now, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

The upper realms was clearly a common “game map” in [Transcendence]/[Swallowing Heaven].

If there were races in the upper realms that started at divine level, then in the game flow of the upper realms—

Becoming a deity might be as ordinary as how people in the lower realm complete a class change to obtain a profession!

“The so-called gods in the lower realm are just a form of more powerful life.”

“God is merely a title.”

Sterl felt even more convinced of his judgment.

The gods in [Transcendence]/[Swallowing Heaven] were simply a level of power, not the omniscient and omnipotent symbols found in various religious texts before his transmigration.

At the same time, Sterl looked at the skill description for Destructive Light, which mentioned an unknown entity capable of demoting an entire divine-level race to the lower realm, causing him considerable unease.

What kind of entity could that be? How powerful must they be!

Could they be connected to that mysterious race that had intricate ties with the human race on Earth and seemed to be related to the birth of [Transcendence]/[Swallowing Heaven]?

If it were that race…

The thought of their power made Sterl’s heart race.

It was important to note that if he hadn’t gained the ability to create a secondary character, he would have likely been caught by two figures from the upper realms earlier.

Although Sterl had successfully escaped, the news of a new genius named Solomon emerging from the human race on Earth had likely already spread throughout the upper realms.

The existence of that mysterious race, which could demote the “god race” to the lower realm, put immense pressure on Sterl!

If not, it would be even worse!

It would mean that the mysterious race or entity suspected of creating [Transcendence]/[Swallowing Heaven] might be even stronger! After all, the upper realms were also part of the game; the forces capable of demoting the Demon of Terror and Cruelty could not possibly be weaker than the creators, right?

Sterl felt even worse!

Under absolute power suppression, there was often no room for maneuvering.

Sterl had not yet revealed himself, but what if that mysterious force discovered Solomon’s existence and used some bizarre items to forcibly drag Sterl out?

The joy he had just felt from defeating a formidable enemy and obtaining a complete Iridescent-Level skill was almost entirely shattered.

He had not yet crossed the divine level threshold, and he was already aware of the existence of power levels far beyond divine level.

He was being closely watched by enemies that were potentially super divine level or even stronger!

It was unbearable!

What troubled Sterl even more was—

He couldn’t use Destructive Light at all!

Sterl did not destroy the divine authority/Respectable Position.

At the same time, he also lacked the bloodline.

He sensed the fluctuations of Destructive Light coursing through his body.

Both conditions were indispensable.

When Sterl attempted to draw upon the power of the Iridescent-Level skill, he felt an extremely frenetic energy surge within him, almost causing internal injury. Fortunately, the energy he unleashed was only a mere trickle, which resulted in only a single meridian being damaged, quickly restored by his life force.

Sterl marveled slightly at the current situation; despite the various damage-avoiding abilities and the still-active Rebirth of All Thoughts enhancing him, even a tiny amount of power had caused such backlash.

Even though it was energy erupting from within his body, where defenses were relatively weak, it was enough to prove that—

If he forcibly activated Destructive Light, it was likely that he would explode before the skill could even manifest.

Sterl looked at the effects of this technique.

It could erase all existences below divine level!

Ignoring defenses, damage mitigation…

He could only gaze longingly.

Unfortunately, due to the bloodline restriction, Sterl would never be able to use this skill, wasting a Fate Token.

“How unfortunate!”

Just as Sterl was lamenting in his heart, he suddenly thought of something and activated his talent [Divination].

The target was—

“I want to use Destructive Light; what should I do?”

The success rate of Divination was indeed low, but perhaps it could provide a hint?

He didn’t know if the divination was correct or incorrect, but a peculiar thought appeared in Sterl’s mind, consisting of just a brief line of text—

“Enhance Bloodline.”

“Ah?”

Sterl was momentarily stunned. “Enhance bloodline?”

“What bloodline do I have that can be enhanced?”

“The human race on Earth?”

He felt a bit dizzy; the racial talent of the Earth humans was essentially nothing…

However…

At that moment, Sterl suddenly recalled the information that Gloria had shared with him, as well as the objective fact that Solomon was being hunted.

Could the bloodline of the Earth humans be quite special?

Why would an entity suspected to be the creator of the game want to capture the geniuses of the Earth humans?

If the divination result was correct, could he make a deduction? The bloodline of the Earth humans indeed held something extraordinary; only those with exceptional talent could activate it?? And this bloodline had immense value??

This conjecture also explained why the mysterious race was so wary of the talents emerging from the Earth humans yet did not directly eliminate that race.

Because they needed the Earth humans to reproduce and develop, producing talents for them to capture and refine?

Sterl’s eyes flickered as he speculated randomly, then he pulled his thoughts back.

He felt that his fourth talent might be more useful than he had imagined.

It could help him generate some extremely precious information from nothing!

At that moment, he had a direction.

To explore the hidden powers within his bloodline!

If the divination result was correct, the benefits that Sterl could potentially gain in the future would likely surpass even an Iridescent-Level skill like Destructive Light.

“However, even if Divination is correct, simply enhancing my bloodline probably won’t be enough.”

“I also need a divine authority/Respectable Position related to destruction.”

Sterl quickly calmed down and analyzed the situation further.

“This requirement should be relatively easy to achieve.”

He reached this conclusion.

Destruction was considered a common divine authority/Respectable Position. Sterl could find an opportunity to kill a relevant deity or demon and use a Fate Token along with “Devour” to obtain it.

…

The time Sterl spent pondering felt slow.

In reality, given his current combat power and attribute enhancements, it took only a single breath to conclude.

This amount of time was not even enough for the countless demons and Swallowing Heaven players watching to regain their senses.

Yet, these individuals had already scattered in panic.

Their minds were still in a dazed state, completely failing to comprehend what had happened, but they had witnessed the scene of Demon of Terror and Cruelty, Lovic, being brutally torn to shreds, his corpse completely obliterated.

How could they not be scared? How could they not run??

But as they fled, they gradually began to realize…

The outcome of the battle… was that Mephistopheles had withstood the Iridescent-Level ability and, in an almost invincible manner, had slain Lovic!

Indeed, at the beginning of the fight, this newcomer Supreme, whom no one had believed in, had mocked and looked down upon others, only wanting to see a spectacle involving a talented figure.

Mephistopheles hadn’t even revealed any trump cards; he simply launched wave after wave of collisions, wearing Lovic down until he was forced to reveal his own trump cards in desperation.

In the end, after a long struggle, Lovic faced annihilation!

This was… so terrifying!

The thoughts of the demons raced. Looking at Mephistopheles now was like gazing upon a respected deity!

They understood that Mephistopheles’s power could not reach divine level, but he was undoubtedly a strong existence that even Supremes or quasi-divines would find hard to contend with.

Moreover… at this moment, the demons and Swallowing Heaven players began to indulge in their imaginations.

Mephistopheles must have other skills and trump cards; he just found it more entertaining to toy with Lovic until his demise.

It had to be that way!!

Because if it were “me,” I would play like that too!

Only then could I savor the despair of my opponent.

Many demons and Swallowing Heaven players, after analyzing all this, felt a sharp pang of regret in their stomachs!

Why did I have to run my mouth and offend him?

The result was that, in an attempt to ensure Mephistopheles’s downfall, they had both supported Lovic and attacked Mephistopheles, leading to an inevitable clash!

In a battle where neither side could afford to back down, it was rare to encounter an unparalleled genius amidst the countless layers of hell!

And this Mephistopheles, who had a touch of psychological deviation, was causing Lovic to die in utter agony. For someone of Lovic’s weaker strength, being caught by him made a swift death nearly impossible!

At this moment, the sky seemed to be filled with countless shooting stars, as demons desperately activated various survival tools to hasten their escape.

If one were to take a closer look, they would find that some demons and Swallowing Heaven players were trembling in fear!

What?

Did you say there was a contribution plunder war initiated by the players under the Lord of Evil Spirits against the Succubus Queen faction?

Who still cared about that?

Survival was the priority.

This scene left even the players from the main world who were observing from a distance utterly bewildered.

They had no idea what had happened; from the perspective of the main world players, it looked like intense energy explosions erupted during a conflict among demons!

They felt extremely fortunate that they had laid a trap to make the demons kill each other. If it had come to a direct confrontation, the terrifying might of their attacks would have fallen upon them…

It was unthinkable.

The current situation was also quite easy to understand; it was likely that the powerful figures from the two major demon factions had clashed and reached a conclusion.

Naturally, one side would have to retreat…

Huh?

Why is everyone running away??

The players from the main world experienced their first wave of confusion.

Even if the strongest contenders from the two factions had perished together, wouldn’t the remaining demons and Swallowing Heaven players think that their remaining fighting power was enough to annihilate their enemies and continue the chaos amongst themselves?

What was going on?

Did they all think they couldn’t win??

This didn’t make sense!

Players in hell were known for their craziness; they would never flee unless the disadvantage reached a certain level.

But if one side was at such a huge disadvantage, the other side would surely swell with confidence and start pursuing them.

All the demons were fleeing??

What on earth had happened here??
