Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 402

Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Attribute Enhancement, Bloodline Fusion
Sterl remained calm inside. The cheat was only a few seconds away from activation, and he continued to buy time without needing to make any special moves.

Standing still, he muttered a curse under his breath.

It was the same as fleeing…

Exactly the same!

He didn’t need to run away from the waves stirred up by the Will of Hell.

Because—

Licitris’s desperate move was meaningless.

In fact, it could even be described as laughable.

Sterl noticed that behind him, in the sky, and on the ground, countless strands of Blood of Contamination surged toward him.

The passage opened by Licitris was not an escape route.

Instead, it was more waves of Blood of Contamination.

The Thunder armor on the Will of Hell dimmed significantly; due to its abnormal mental state, it had become the only entity that, under Sterl’s guise of strength, could instead launch a heavy counterattack!

Sterl had nowhere to hide, and even using his teleportation ability would not allow him to escape the tide of Polluted Blood engulfing the entire world!

He could only wait to be swallowed by the tide, and in his boredom, Sterl looked toward Licitris.

The look in the Succubus Queen’s eyes before death turned into despair as she saw Mephistopheles about to be contaminated by the Blood of Contamination, letting out an ear-piercing scream!

“No! No!!!”

Originally, Licitris had shown a serene smile, as if she were welcoming death head-on.

She had no regrets!

If her lover’s wish was to grow stronger and survive by stepping over her corpse, Licitris would gladly accept it.

But she realized that even with such a sacrifice, Mephistopheles would still be engulfed by the Blood of Contamination! It was destined that her beloved would also perish!

“Wait! Wait!”

Licitris desperately tried to burn her remaining Divine Power, but unfortunately, it only made the light around her shine a few degrees brighter.

The only trace left was that this Succubus Queen, who had shown an extraordinary and breathtaking beauty even in her final moments, now wore a face filled with fear and pain, lacking even the strength to maintain her form.

Her skin cracked, flesh and bones rotted, making her appear like a bloody mass, devoid of any beauty!

In fact, it was horrifyingly grotesque.

“Mephistopheles!”

“You must live on for me!”

“You have to survive!!”

In her last few cries, Licitris transformed from an originally confident deity into a pitiful, desperate creature.

In the end, she died in despair!

Not because of Mephistopheles’s deception, but because her sacrifice could not fulfill the deception of Mephistopheles.

From Licitris’s perspective, since Mephistopheles had always hidden his true power, it was clear that he did not possess the strength to defeat those below the Will. As for why there were no signs of having been infected by the Blood of Contamination, it was because Mephistopheles had concealed his power, not because he hadn’t been infected at all.

Now, being engulfed by the rainbow-colored blood meant certain death!

Ultimately, Licitris faded away in pain, her consciousness dispersing!

“…” Sterl remained silent.

It was the first time he witnessed how a deity died when self-exploding.

After the energy was exhausted, Licitris’s entire body transformed into a translucent crystal, although at that moment, rainbow-colored Polluted Blood flowed within the crystal…

Finally, a tiny point of soul light drifted away.

Sterl’s expression was blank… He had no time to think about Licitris; he only felt a slight discomfort in his stomach, as if he had eaten something bad.

Boom!! In the midst of the tidal wave, the Will of Hell surged forward and swallowed Licitris’s soul whole! This also shattered the emotions that Sterl had yet to cultivate.

Sterl was completely engulfed by the waves made of Blood of Contamination, swept away, and vanished from sight.

Then, countless arrows pierced into his body!

The concentration of Blood of Contamination skyrocketed in an instant!

A faint sensation stirred in Sterl’s heart. The Swallowing Heaven system had lost connection, and he no longer received system notifications.

But he could sense that information was still coming through—

“Due to the effects of the Holy Spirit Bloodline, you are immune to Blood of Contamination.”

“Due to the effects of the Holy Spirit Bloodline, you are immune to…”

Sterl felt somewhat absurd.

Licitris’s sacrifice at the moment of her death was doubly meaningless.

It neither helped Mephistopheles resist the tide of Blood of Contamination nor did it serve any purpose—it was almost a joke.

With his Holy Spirit Bloodline, Sterl could have ignored the Blood of Contamination all along!

He had suspected this earlier; however, out of caution, he had been avoiding the Blood of Contamination.

Now it was confirmed, and he had overcome a significant hurdle.

Sterl should have felt good about this. In his plan, Licitris would have been used to withstand the Will of Hell, buying time with her life.

Now, although Licitris’s sacrifice seemed in vain, Sterl’s goal of delaying time had still been achieved!

Within the tide of Blood of Contamination, the Will of Hell showed no intention of investigating further.

Sterl was able to stand quietly in place, completely still.

He felt slightly uneasy, his complexion flushing with heat.

At the last moment, Licitris had seen through Sterl’s psychological tricks and understood that Mephistopheles had been using her from the very beginning.

“So the Succubus Queen was sincere??”

Sterl spoke the answer he already knew, but with a sense of disbelief.

“In the end, she died for me??”

Sterl exhaled, only to find himself tasting the Blood of Contamination.

“I… do not regret it.”

He remained calm.

“Even if Licitris was sincere, that alone cannot be proven until she truly cast aside everything for my sake in her final moments.”

“Moreover, viewing a Succubus as one’s beloved and executing even riskier plans for her is inherently foolish.”

For the first time, Sterl took a moment to convince himself of this.

However, his expression remained as somber as iron!

Thud~

Thud~ thud~

Time trickled slowly by.

Sterl’s heart beat slightly.

Outside, the Will of Hell leisurely observed the world buried beneath the Polluted Blood.

Below, the two main world gods were still alive.

The Will of Hell wasn’t in a hurry to act; he was certain that the demigod demon harboring the Origin of Chaos would certainly perish!

Now, he was stepping into a new phase.

The two remaining deities could serve as witnesses.

However, the two deities of the main world did not share this perspective; they simply stared vacantly at the sky.

Everything was already over; it was pointless to think about anything!

They gazed at the surging rainbow-colored Polluted Blood, finding it somewhat splendid.

“Hmm?”

Will of Hell suddenly felt something was off; why was there an incredibly brilliant light appearing within the tide of Blood of Contamination?

…

Among the waves, Sterl wore an expressionless face.

Usually, when he was expressionless, it was mostly to achieve a better effect of bravado.

But now, his heart was genuinely as calm as ice.

Thud~

His heart beat once more.

Then—

The cooldown time for the cheat passed its final second.

“Allocate points to Holy Spirit Bloodline.”

Sterl silently chanted, and the Divine Power he had accumulated surged within him!

At this moment, the Holy Spirit Bloodline, unable to communicate with Swallowing Heaven, lacked any specific data.

Sterl only felt that the blood coursing through his body surged, an external radiance rapidly merging with his own blood.

It felt as if an excavator was digging into certain elements within him.

In his mental realm, various fundamental elements, which he had originally thought would take an eternity to create, manifested swiftly!

Under the influence of high energy,

Fundamental electrons and protons began to form!

Sterl felt that he had reached a realm he once thought could only be crossed at the divine level in an instant!

At the same time, he faintly sensed…

After this promotion, the Holy Spirit Bloodline had not been fully acquired; rather, it had allowed Sterl to gain a portion of the Blood of the Holy Spirit, which completed its fusion with the human race bloodline within him.

This fusion was like a key unlocking a lock, truly activating the power of the Blood of the Holy Spirit!

Now, he remained under the enhancement of the Holy Spirit Bloodline, with the duration lasting for three days! Furthermore, due to the merging with his own bloodline, all the remarkable abilities of the Holy Spirit Bloodline were fully unlocked!

“It feels as if the bloodline of the Earth human race is inherently a part of the Holy Spirit Bloodline; without this component, even an outsider possessing the Holy Spirit Bloodline could only have a flawed version.”

Sterl analyzed, feeling a wave of restlessness.

He couldn’t calm himself down at all.

He felt an overwhelming urgency within him to do something!

The moment after allocating points was completed, the vast Divine Power surged into the sky!

Simultaneously, under the illumination of Sterl’s Holy Spirit Bloodline, the Fission Law was elevated to Fission divine authority!

In that instant, Sterl discovered that a divine authority that had not existed before was created, and a wave of inexplicable energy spilled out from him.

At the same time, within the upper realms, in that mysterious palace, countless dormant statues were awakened once again.

“What’s happening? The Fission divine authority has also been created?”

“Does this mean that the genius from the lower realm, the Earth human race, is probably not just at the divine level anymore!”

“How did he break through his limits??”

“Could it be that someone in the upper realms dares to defy…?”

“Quickly redirect the investigation target, focusing on those who have broken through their power limits!”

…

In an instant, numerous commands flew out from the temple, heading to various worlds.

Countless statues awakened and then fell silent again.

…

Sterl had no idea what kind of ripple he had set off, nor that he had successfully misled potential pursuers.

In the ocean of rainbow-colored blood, he quickly invoked the power of Destructive Light.

At the same time, the power of Fission divine authority was activated!!

Before Sterl, the figure of the Demon of Terror and Cruelty emerged, with a radiant energy core gathering at its chest, forming a brilliant flow of light.

With the activation of the Fission divine authority,

Or rather, the influx of the Holy Spirit Bloodline’s power,

This time, the appearance of the giant beast changed again! Although it remained exceedingly massive, its form became more refined, standing upright. Sterl inexplicably sensed that the bloodline of the Earth human race resonated joyfully.

As the vast Divine Power surged forth from within him, he suddenly noticed that the Demon of Terror and Cruelty, optimized by the Holy Spirit Bloodline, somehow…

Looked a bit like a “human”?
