Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 444

Chapter 444: Chapter 444: The Frost Giant Strikes Again!
To put it bluntly, even in ancient times, when Transcendence had not yet hidden this advancement project, other players integrating the highest demigod-quality items into their legendary advancement ceremonies still couldn’t compare to Sterl.

After all, not only did he possess five talents, but even having dual talents was a rarity! Those ancient players could manage at most a couple of enhancements.

Sterl couldn’t help but stand up in joy.

He took a moment to calm himself before preparing to check the hints provided by the ceremony, aiming to choose an event with the highest yield to create his own legend.

Before he could take any action, he heard a sound of shattering.

Crack! Crack!

The eerie noise triggered a wave of immense unease within all Holy Spirits!

Sterl recognized it all too well; it was the sound of the Crystal Barrier Galaxy collapsing!

What was happening?

Sterl paused for a moment, realizing that the collapse of the Crystal Barrier Galaxy had reached this place?

Then he quickly came to another realization: no, the location of the Crystal Barrier Galaxy’s distortion and collapse was something he had never been certain about. Clearly, the continent before him was much closer to the twisted core than the Far North!

However, due to the geography, Sterl couldn’t see the membrane with his naked eye.

“What a pity, it’s too far from the Crystal Barrier Galaxy membrane to obtain any boundary fragments.”

He shook his head in regret.

But then… a terrifying wave of air surged from the distance.

A blue point of light gradually expanded, transforming into a massive shockwave!

It violently tore through the land of the continent, carving out a canyon!

Countless beings, birds, and animals along the path were caught in a panic, their terrified screams silenced before they could even escape, vanishing into nothingness!

Within the shockwave, the Frost Giant was running wildly! It darted left and right, its target aimed directly at Sterl, occasionally changing direction only to dash back to its original path.

It looked like a clumsy child stumbling toward him.

Yet this “child” instilled profound fear in all who witnessed its presence.

“What’s going on? How did it track me down?”

Sterl’s expression was bizarre.

Just moments ago, the Frost Giant had been submerged in the sea, struggling as it sank deeper, and it was located on another continent!

Even though this giant was fast, crossing two continents would take days.

So how did it suddenly appear right in front of him?

Sterl’s confusion was quickly answered as he observed the flickering space and time powers ahead.

He couldn’t decipher the principles behind it, but he could see it clearly.

The teleportation array had been activated again.

To be precise, the Frost Giant had imitated the previously operating teleportation formation, traversing the folds of the Crystal Barrier Galaxy membrane and crossing the continent!

“Isn’t this a bit underhanded? A bit exaggerated?”

“And with its level of intelligence, it can actually handle a teleportation formation, something so advanced.”

“Did it really manage to simulate it from just one previous instance of teleportation?”

Sterl couldn’t help but complain.

What he didn’t know was that the giant lacked intelligence but could instinctively respond to everything.

With only one goal in mind—to hunt down Sterl—it had naturally operated the teleportation through its instincts.

Surprisingly, the effectiveness of its teleportation was even slightly higher than the original formation!

“Damn it! It just won’t go away!” Sterl felt a prickling sensation at the back of his head. Accompanied by the terrifying sound of impact, the temperature in the entire universe dropped significantly.

The Frost Giant was about to collide with him!

Sterl quickly regained his composure. With the Law of Time in hand, he had no fear even against the Frost Giant!

He snapped his fingers.

Time Rift!

He felt a massive wave of energy being abruptly drawn from his body. Sterl’s expression changed; it wasn’t that he couldn’t bear the consumption, but the cost of using the Law of Time exceeded his expectations.

For instance, the Fission Law, when it becomes divine authority, directly equates to higher divine authority. When in a state of Law, it comes close to Divine Power.

Its consumption is already higher than that of equivalent Laws, but the Law of Time wasn’t just a notch higher—it consumed ten times more than normal rules of power!

But the effect… was worth it!

The power of time could no longer be classified as divine level or below.

Against units with no resistance, there was no way to withstand it!

Sterl was only surprised by the consumption and didn’t feel that the Law of Time was wasteful.

From an external perspective, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

Only Sterl, the skill caster, and a few exceptionally perceptive entities could see that the space around the Frost Giant was isolated by a layer of translucent film.

The Frost Giant could ignore the effects of spatial freezing, but under the control of time…

Within the film, all its actions slowed down, and ultimately, its charge came to a halt!

Then, it became frozen in place!

Unable to move!

Under the influence of the Law of Time, the terrifying energy field that had appeared near the Frost Giant was also solidified, showing no signs of dissipating.

“It worked!” Sterl’s eyes lit up.

He had always been a person lacking in a sense of security.

The Frost Giant was related to the upper realms, so it was normal that he couldn’t defeat it.

However, Sterl still felt that if this Frost Giant kept chasing him, his growth would undoubtedly be severely impacted.

Fortunately, he now had the Law of Time to trap it.

All his concerns vanished.

He casually unleashed several skills, and after enduring the torment of the Crystal Barrier Galaxy, Sterl had transformed.

With just a single use of Shattered Void, he could harness an extremely high level of control to make the solidified space effect last only for an instant, maximizing the reduction in consumption.

Then, countless blades of light surged forth!

This time, with about a twenty percent reduction in energy consumption, the power of his moves increased by fifteen percent!

Such optimization could only be achieved by characters who had used their skills countless times, fully integrating their abilities into their combat style!

These were often the gods who had fought on the battlefield for hundreds of years.

Yet, Sterl, having been in the game for less than two years, achieved this effortlessly.

The blades gleamed with cold light this time, attacking the giant at incredible speed without the need for guidance.

Previously, Sterl needed to use Divine Power to lock on to enemies, or rely on passive skill targeting; now, with just a thought, the blades could pivot and aim at the target!

Unfortunately…

Thousands of blades struck against the Frost Giant’s light blue skin.

They shattered rapidly!

It was like eggs smashing against a hard stone!

No matter how many eggs were smashed, they couldn’t harm that resilient rock in the slightest.

The endless blade shadows eventually came to a halt.

But all he received in return was a screen full of [BLOCK].

Everything was resisted!

“Alright, even though I can control the Frost Giant, it still can’t be harmed.”

“Fine, see you later.”

Sterl thought to himself. The Frost Giant, lacking intelligence and relying solely on its innate resistance, was nearly invincible when it could resist. But once it couldn’t resist, it would be in serious trouble.

Under the binding of time power, the Frost Giant would likely be trapped for several hours.

Seeing this, Sterl wasn’t in a hurry. He exited his Ascend to Godhood state, sat cross-legged to recover, and checked the potions in his backpack.

“Sure, if you want to chase me, then go ahead.”

Now, he could engage in a tug-of-war with the giant. Even without consuming potions, Sterl could recover his energy before the Frost Giant broke free.

Considering that he still needed to explore and complete legendary stories, all he had to do was control the giant and quickly drink some potions if there were enemies nearby.

Simple and easy!

Sterl even thought about floating over to the Frost Giant and observing it closely.

At such a close distance, he could slightly sense through his Holy Spirit Bloodline that the giant’s emotions were extremely chaotic, almost frenzied.

“This means it’s chasing me simply because it wants to hunt every living being.”

“If there are other beings nearby, it would indiscriminately kill them too.”

Sterl pondered this realization and suddenly thought of something: the giant’s pursuit might not be a bad thing…

When the Frost Giant had charged at him, it had killed every living thing in its path, even slightly altering its course several times, which extended the distance it had to run.

“Maybe I can use this to my advantage?”

As Sterl contemplated this, he initially intended to open the page for creating his legendary story, but suddenly felt a wave of heat coursing through him.

It seemed like some kind of bloodline connection was rapidly pulsing.

When the Frost Giant had charged at him, it had seemingly brought with it some sort of domain and suppression effect.

Sterl knew this all too well; when he was locked onto, he felt utterly immobilized!

“This sensation was also sealed until I trapped the Frost Giant?”

Sterl realized something and opened his clothing, and sure enough, when the Frost Giant was frozen, the “simple drawing” on him had also changed from a glowing state to a dull one.

“So, this tracking buff also has the effect of suppressing my opportunities.”

“How disgusting?”

Sterl felt a headache coming on.

This Frost Giant was indeed absurd. If it weren’t for him, the gods of the lower realms would likely be easily toyed with and killed.

In fact…

It could be considered a moving natural disaster.

“Wait, a natural disaster?”

“It couldn’t be that this thing is also a type of catastrophe, could it?”

As Sterl thought about this, his expression grew increasingly distressed.

After all, why had that golden light surged out from the cracked Crystal Barrier Galaxy, merging with a mountain to form the Frost Giant…

He couldn’t figure it out!

Maybe it was like the Blood of Contamination… the upper realms committing atrocities while the lower realm suffered.

As Sterl contemplated this…

Suddenly, as the suppression completely lifted, his Authority Heart lit up!

Brilliant light overflowed from Sterl’s body.

“Wait, what’s happening?”

“Could it be an opportunity related to the Starry Clan?”

Sterl reacted quickly.

But as he recalled the coordinates indicated earlier, this was definitely not the right place!
