Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 399

Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Can the Game System Be Severed??
In an instant, Sterl realized…

The Swallowing Heaven system had been severed!

Earlier, before the Blood of Contamination completely consumed the entire layer of hell, everything had been functioning normally. Now, the entire layer of hell had been engulfed…

It had become part of the Blood of Contamination!

But…

Why was it only the Swallowing Heaven system?

Sterl noticed that when Swallowing Heaven was cut off, the Will of Hell, the Mephistopheles account, and the divine-level demons all appeared stunned.

However, the three gods of the main world showed no reaction.

He tested it himself with his disk and found that the Transcendence system was still operating normally; he could switch to his main account at any time, but there was a vague prompt indicating that if he switched back to his main account, he wouldn’t be able to return to his smaller account because the Swallowing Heaven system was disconnected.

Sterl opened the panel…

But it wouldn’t open at all!

All functions of Swallowing Heaven were paused and unusable.

Fortunately, Sterl was well aware of his combat abilities, which remained unaffected.

But why was this happening?

Both Swallowing Heaven and Transcendence were game systems, right?

The upper realms were the common upper realms of the hell main world.

It made no sense for the Blood of Contamination to target only Swallowing Heaven.

Sterl was bewildered.

Yet his actions were swift!

He vanished from his position in a flash!

He had a nagging feeling that something was amiss; if the connection to Swallowing Heaven had been severed, then even if he destroyed all the bodies of the Will of Hell, he might not face punishment from the system.

But…

That wasn’t the main concern.

Sterl was in desperate need of Fortune!

Killing the last body of the Will of Hell would certainly yield significant Fortune, and he couldn’t afford to wait any longer!

Sterl employed the same trick again, using the Bionic Tear to mimic his stance in place, while his true self rapidly ascended to godhood!

He had previously managed to deceive Gloria.

Now, with more disguising tools at his disposal, he was even more adept at it.

The five divine-level beings and the Will of Hell remained completely unaware of anything amiss…

Soon, the effects of the severed connection to Swallowing Heaven began to dissipate.

The two divine-level demons regained their senses.

They appeared surprised, as if their counterattack had been effective??

Had all the bodies of the Archduke of Blood been destroyed in one go??

Good!

The Will of Hell, on the other hand, was furious, roaring in rage.

It sensed the disconnection of Swallowing Heaven but had no convenient means to call upon the player panel. The Will of Hell could not ascertain whether Swallowing Heaven was truly gone or not.

It was still terrified of facing punishment after all its bodies were destroyed.

Thus, it let out a frenzied scream.

“Why?”

“Why do you insist on obstructing me so much?”

“Why can’t you just go to your deaths obediently?”

“I’ll send you on your way right now!”

With each furious shout, the vocal cords of the Archduke of Blood’s body were torn apart.

In its madness, the Will of Hell recklessly controlled its bodies, causing bolts of lightning to flash. The vast majority of the Archduke of Blood’s bodies were already rendered useless, but even the remaining fragments of life force were sufficient to unleash several full-powered Origin of Chaos attacks.

Below, the five divine-level units hadn’t even had time to celebrate when they were struck by the flashing lightning!

The Ashen deity and Lord of Evil Spirits Rog stood at the front, having committed all their trump cards; momentarily caught off guard, they were enveloped by the lightning!

Just before their demise, they reacted swiftly, unleashing their powers, but before they could even gather their strength, they were consumed by the radiance and turned to nothing!

Tick!

Tick!

In an instant, all units present felt a wave of inexplicable sorrow.

It was evident that this was a sign of the gods’ imminent fall!

At the same time, the surging Divine Power transformed into various manifestations, spilling out in all directions, only to be instantly tainted by the Blood of Contamination.

In an instant, the two divine-level units vanished without a trace!

Not even a hint of their existence remained.

At that very moment, the Will of Hell opened its massive mouth and swallowed the soul light of the Ashen deity. Just as it aimed to rush toward the soul of Lord of Evil Spirits Rog, an overwhelming presence surged from behind.

A new divine-level unit had appeared!

For a moment, the remaining three divine-level beings and the Archduke of Blood were all stunned.

What was happening?

There was still a hidden divine-level being?

What a joke!

The Will of Hell found this unreasonable; it controlled the entire layer of hell! Even if it was hiding within the body of the Archduke of Blood, causing its sensing ability to slightly diminish with some delay, there shouldn’t be a god appearing without its knowledge!

The presence of a god in the lower realm could not be concealed!

It was as radiant as a lighthouse in the dark!

Unless, from the very beginning, this newly appeared divine-level being had activated a divine authority-level hiding ability, but that would only deceive beings of the same rank.

The Will of Hell could sense the arrival of the new god immediately!

Moreover, under the influence of the Blood of Contamination, the entire layer of hell had long been sealed off; it was impossible for a new god to enter this place!

The Will of Hell felt a strong sense of foreboding arise within! For the first time, it experienced an inexplicable fear and unease.

As for the two gods of the Hall of Valor and the Golden Kingdom, along with Licitris, they were simply bewildered!

The two divine-level beings had been slaughtered, which was within their expectations; they didn’t even have time to grieve for their fallen comrades because it was soon going to be their turn…

But the appearance of the new god left them utterly confused…

Mainly, they couldn’t comprehend why the Will of Hell was also surprised?

If the new god could conceal itself from them, then there was no way it could fool you!

That would contradict the basic rules of Transcendence/Swallowing Heaven!

The three divine-level beings were utterly perplexed!

But their expressions slightly improved; the situation had deteriorated beyond repair, and the emergence of a new divine-level unit might just bring a glimmer of hope?

Licitis again used his divine sense to sweep over the Bionic Tear, ensuring the safety of Mephistopheles.

Then…

Boom!!

The three divine-level beings felt a beam of light ignite in their pupils!

It was blindingly bright!

They didn’t even realize what was happening…

Until they saw the beam pierce through and slay the last body of the Will of Hell.

“What is this…?”

“What is this…?”

Licitis and the two gods almost recognized what this attack was, but their thoughts felt blocked, and they simply couldn’t figure it out.

This skill was none other than Sterl’s Destructive Light after ascending to godhood, activated through his disk, using a blood-colored document to conceal it.

He had timed his ascension perfectly to coincide with the fall of the two divine-level units, allowing him to immunize against the debuff that affected units below divine level after a god’s death.

Then…

Sterl unleashed his full power, releasing Destructive Light with all sorts of enhancements maximized.

He thought that, being below a divine-level entity and already lacking combat experience, the Will of Hell would be at its most vulnerable at this moment when it was preparing to devour souls!

“It worked!”

Amidst the destructive radiance, Sterl’s figure dissipated, and at the same time, a Fate Token in his hand also vanished, only to reemerge, shimmering with bizarre, colorful light before quickly extinguishing.

Using the small world as a cover, Sterl, right under the noses of several gods, switched back to the small world with the Bionic Tear, transforming himself back into Mephistopheles.

Earlier, when he attempted to slay the body of the Will of Hell, he had used a Fate Token to acquire the Blood God Resurrection Technique. Unfortunately, it was deemed that he hadn’t killed the enemy, so he couldn’t obtain it.

However, the Fate Token had already appeared on the probability page, allowing Sterl to select it. It seemed he might end up failing after all…

“[Consume] appears to devour the flesh, but in reality, it consumes both flesh and soul??”

Fortunately, the Fate Token was not wasted; instead, it bounced back, locked in a state where it couldn’t be used again. But when Sterl erased the soul of the Will of Hell, he could trigger—

The [Consume] ability, obtaining a second token as a key to the Iridescent-Level capability: Blood God Resurrection Technique.

“Excellent, everything is going smoothly!”

At this moment, Sterl’s return to Mephistopheles was somewhat anxious, as the Holy Spirit Bloodline enhancement skill could only be used once and only for the final kill.

When erasing the body of the Will of Hell, which was about to be corrupted by the Blood of Contamination, he had to rely on conventional means.

Drawing upon his previous accumulation and leveraging the Iridescent-Level output ability, he successfully killed it!

He feigned concern as Mephistopheles, casting a worried glance at Licitris, while strange waves of energy surged within him; his Fortune was finally coming in!

This wave of slaying the Will of Hell’s body granted Sterl 30 units of Fortune, added to the gradually increasing Fortune from intercepting the celestial plans.

His total Fortune now amounted to 46 points.

“If I can eliminate the Will of Hell itself, maybe I can accumulate another hundred Fortune?”

Sterl felt a sense of anticipation. After the cheat absorption, this time, the Fortune within him couldn’t recover slowly.

He needed to accumulate it anew.

Sterl had yet to enjoy the benefits that the clouds of Fortune could bring…

“Mephistopheles” stood steadily.

The situation on the field was rather bizarre.

The three divine-level units remained bewildered.

They were somewhat disoriented, unsure of what had transpired.

On the surface, the events unfolded as follows—

A new god appeared and slayed the last body of the Will of Hell, and then…

Then that new god also vanished?

What? Dude?

What does this mean?

They couldn’t comprehend it!

Based on the deductions of the three divine-level beings, the new god must have been tainted by the Blood of Contamination. The blood in the river valley was now empty.

So, what was the new god’s intention in intervening?

If it wanted to survive, it could only target the three divine-level beings; attacking the Will of Hell was futile! It couldn’t delay the Blood of Contamination.

If it was aimed at the Will of Hell, then wouldn’t it consider finding a way to deal with its soul??

Divine Power can directly harm souls!

Existences like the Will of Hell, which were very similar to soul bodies, could also be eliminated.

What kind of escape was that?

If it weren’t for the remnants of energy from that destructive beam of white light still reverberating in the air, the three divine-level beings might have thought they were experiencing an illusion.

“What should we do now?”

“Wait to die??”

“It seems that’s all we can do.”

Marlon spoke slowly, with the Ashen deity chiming in.

Only Licitris kept his lips pursed; despite his weakness, he exuded an air of pitiable charm.

“There’s no need for us to turn on each other.”

“The Blood of Contamination has spread across the entire layer of hell; no one can leave alive.”

“In this level of pollution, our mutual slaughter would only extend our lives by less than a day…”
