Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 460

Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Slaying the Giant, the Fall of the Behemoth!
As is well known, the power of a nuclear bomb is highly dispersed; most of its energy is wasted unless it is in a highly confined environment.

And at this moment…

Within the Frost Giant’s body, countless fading sword shadows suddenly coalesced, transforming into white light.

The Frost Giant, having just completed its recovery, let out a furious roar but suddenly froze in place.

Its entire body was engulfed by numerous spheres, surging like waves.

An incredibly terrifying energy was being suppressed.

Until—

A faint light began to seep from the giant’s skin.

First one or two rays, then thousands of beams burst forth…

The giant was forcefully transformed into a “porcupine,” and then the torrent of light surged, sweeping everything away!

The ultimate brilliance erupted!

Having honed his skills through training within the folds of the Crystal Barrier Galaxy, Sterl had significantly improved his mastery over various abilities. This allowed him to employ a delayed release technique after enhancing it with the power of Fission.

The sword shadows of Shattered Void fully blossomed, and it took nearly a second before the Fission light manifested!

Under the suppression of the dual giant’s membranes, all the power flowed into the giant’s body without resistance. Sterl couldn’t help but smile.

He had a new idea; this wave of using Shattered Void to embed sword shadows into the enemy and then detonating them with the Fission Law would become his strongest killing move!

In terms of damage output, it was already on par with the radiant-level technique previously used by Billie.

Of course, hers was an area-wide extermination, while Sterl could only achieve single-target destruction, and he couldn’t guarantee the stable activation of Fission from within the enemy…

There was still a gap.

Sterl pondered, tilting his head away, not even looking in the direction of the Frost Giant.

Uh…

He felt certain that his enemy was doomed and, recalling the style from movies in his past life, he expertly struck a pose.

Sure enough, the giant’s entire body transformed into a brilliant white light!

The radiance spread everywhere, as if a brief sun had risen.

The intense light melted away all the ice and snow, leaving only a vast expanse of white earth.

And amidst the light, Sterl stood calmly with his hands in his pockets.

At this point, everything dissipated.

The once-mighty, invincible monster exploded into countless pieces.

Ultimately, those remnants also transformed directly into soil and stone…

Sterl recalled that the Frost Giant had been brought to life from a mountain by the golden code.

Now, with the disintegration of the Frost Giant, the spherical representation of the golden code also vanished, freeing the code, while the Frost Giant reverted to its original form—sand and dirt.

However, as soon as the code broke free from the sphere, it was eager to escape from this place.

It first dove downward, but then feigned a move and shot back up into the sky.

The entire action was extremely swift, almost as if it possessed a form of intelligence.

Yet, no matter how quick the code reacted, it could not match Sterl’s efficiency. He had enhanced himself with a time acceleration effect, becoming a blur of phantom images.

In the blink of an eye, he seemed to be everywhere in the surrounding space. Sterl regarded this peculiar code with great seriousness, intercepting all avenues of escape.

When the code first fell from the cracks of the Crystal Barrier Galaxy, it had already revealed its speed limit—merely that of an ordinary demigod in flight.

Naturally, with nowhere to run, the code was instantly caught in Sterl’s palm.

Then, the golden stream of light struggled, a wave of helplessness flooding into Sterl’s body.

“Hmm?”

At first, Sterl felt a bit uneasy.

Although the code possessed extremely powerful enhancements, according to typical patterns, such things couldn’t be directly absorbed. Once the code merged, he might mutate into some sort of monster.

Fortunately, nothing untoward happened in the end.

However, in that very moment, several figures appeared.

From the time Sterl entered Giant City to the moment he vanquished the Frost Giant, it hadn’t taken long—no more than two minutes. Therefore, within Giant City, a transformation toward reality was still ongoing.

But…

The several phantoms surrounding Sterl, while merely shadows, had already begun to exude a divine-level aura.

Clearly…

For those below the divine level, merging into another world was purely a gamble with their lives, but the shadows of divine level beings maintained self-awareness from beginning to end.

As these shadows crushed a similarly ethereal object, their forms surprisingly took on a semi-solid state.

At the same time, the phantoms slightly parted their lips as if they wanted to say something.

Thanks to his high attributes, Sterl had indeed learned some lip-reading skills. It only took a few minutes to pick up, but in certain situations, it could help him gain additional information.

Why not learn it?

Thus, he could roughly discern what the phantoms were trying to convey—

“Put the item down; that giant was a Suppression of our Orichalcum Kingdom. You have no right to dispose of its remains.”

“If you don’t hand over the item, once the royal city is established, you will have no way to escape.”

“We will hunt you to the ends of the earth; this is your final warning. Even if you are a god, we fear nothing!”

The phantoms wore expressions of arrogance; they were not mindlessly seeking enemies.

Upon descending into this new world, it was inevitable that they would clash with the forces of this realm, even to the death, in a struggle for territory to survive.

At this moment, the being before him exuded an inexplicably weak aura, likely a divine-level entity with hidden abilities. Although its combat power was impressive, it was precisely because of this that using him as a pawn would prove more effective.

Moreover, the mysterious giant had dropped something…

Though it was impossible to see clearly what it was, only a golden glimmer could be discerned.

But the giant could withstand the entire royal city’s Suppression!

If it hadn’t been for the fusion power of the world crushing the giant, it might have broken through when the royal city descended.

In that case, the Orichalcum Kingdom would face direct annihilation!

At that point, only divine-level entities would manage to escape.

The entire organization, built over thousands of years, would be destroyed in an instant.

In their dread, these divine-level entities also realized the giant’s extraordinary nature; its remains were absolutely not to be touched by outsiders.

At this moment, a total of six gods activated items that allowed them to descend into the new world ahead of time.

Such items were not only precious but would also leave them in a weakened state for a century.

But for the sake of the giant’s remains, they were willing to risk it all!

As for Sterl… he merely raised an eyebrow.

A normal person might have explained a few things, such as how he had lured the giant here all along, and by rights, the spoils should belong to him as well…

But he was different.

He was determined to take it, and he couldn’t be bothered to reason with them; he would just kill.

The divine-level aura emanating from Sterl surged once more!

Ultimately, the power of time manifested as a binding force that firmly controlled the six gods.

Even though they activated their items, they still needed some time to fully manifest as physical forms, which left them unable to evade.

In the distance…

Dozens of divine phantoms shouted in terror: “What are you going to do?”

“Do you want to go to war with our Orichalcum Kingdom?”

“Stop! Are you crazy?”

…

Sterl focused on reading their lips, and due to their virtual state, he couldn’t sense their actions through his abilities.

The dozens of gods were purely filled with impotent rage.

Without hesitation, Sterl swung his Flowing Water Blade.

The Iridescent-Level Shattered Void was unleashed, causing the effect of space to solidify for an instant before dissipating, the energy saved transforming into even more sword shadows to tear apart his foes.

This time, Sterl didn’t need to concentrate his output like he had against the Frost Giant; as a result, a rather spectacular scene unfolded.

Countless beams of light from swords whirled across the entirety of Giant City!

The sword shadows reflected throughout the city!

The six gods were caught off guard and were instantly obliterated!

The main reason was that they were attempting to fully become physical forms, which rendered them rigid. Although it lasted only a moment, it became a fatal weakness against the master of the Law of Time!

Combined with the fact that the items forcing them to become corporeal severely weakened their overall strength, including their defenses, it led to the scene unfolding before them.

These gods felt that their deaths were utterly unjust.

Gods rarely engaged in direct combat against one another; they often spent a long time testing the waters before unleashing their powers. Divine-level battles could obliterate souls, and all gods avoided targeting opponents of the same level with full force—if things went wrong, it would lead to a death that could not be reversed!

Who would dare to gamble?

But Sterl was here to kill!

Then…

The dozens of divine phantoms roared in furious outrage, and without hesitation, they fully infused a special power into their attacks.

The phantoms of the gods began to dim, but the shadow of Giant City rapidly solidified.

“Kill him and blood-sacrifice him!”

“I’ll extract his soul and roast it with Flame for a thousand years!”

“Damn it! Six gods! We’ll need at least six hundred years to replenish ourselves!”

…

However, just as these divine entities were in an uproar,

Sterl had already vanished.

Even though only a few seconds had passed,

Giant City had transformed into reality, and countless chains shot out toward the position where Sterl had stood. But it was futile!

He was already gone.

On the other side…

Sterl slowly opened his eyes, slightly twisting his neck as the game pod before him automatically opened.

That’s right; he had logged off.

But it wasn’t through the usual exploit granted by the disk.

After acquiring the golden code, Sterl received a prompt that allowed him to merge the item into the game pod core he possessed; this prompt was issued by the cheat.

Naturally, Sterl chose to trust it, preparing to log off after leaving Giant City and ending his combat state.

However, at the moment of merging with the golden code, it granted him a free log-off opportunity.

Faced with the siege from the gods of the Orichalcum Kingdom, Sterl didn’t hesitate to wipe them out and then took advantage of the free log-off.

In his view, the code was something he couldn’t afford to lose, so it was destined to create a deep enmity with this top-tier force.

Moreover…

As for the gods who were further away, that was one thing, but the few divine phantoms that had been closer had likely already seen the data code within the golden light.
