Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 537

Chapter 537: Chapter 537: A Turn of Events! Boots of the Void—Striking it Rich!
As soon as Sterl picked up the boots, a surge of information from the capital city rushed into his mind, asking if he had finalized his selection with the pair of boots in his hands.

Sterl nodded. There was no choice—he couldn’t glean any information from the vault’s contents, so he had to settle for selecting something at random to get a feel for the process.

Once he confirmed his choice, the invisible aura enveloping the boots slowly faded away. What Sterl hadn’t expected was that, although the boots had appeared to have a metallic sheen, seemingly made from some special alloy, they began to gradually transform into something entirely different.

Soon, a pair of shoes that were as thin as a cicada’s wing, weightless and semi-transparent, appeared in his hands. Sterl froze, stunned. It turned out that all the items in the vault had been disguised!

This meant that, apart from the general shape and type, everything else couldn’t be seen through by the naked eye.

This was starting to feel ridiculous. For example, something that appeared to be a glittering, ornate scepter could very well turn out to be nothing more than an inconspicuous stick once its true form was revealed.

However, Sterl had already tempered his expectations for these six picks. He had mentally prepared himself for Orichalcum’s tricks, so while he was slightly annoyed, he wasn’t entirely shocked. After all, he was just testing the waters.

He stared at the semi-transparent shoes in his hand, which looked so fragile that a light tug could tear them apart. But as soon as the shoes were selected, their true nature and original properties began to reveal themselves. At that moment, Sterl froze again, his face showing an expression of disbelief.

Because, on these shoes—something that looked nothing like a typical pair of boots—he could actually sense an aura of Space Law!

Without hesitation, he quickly checked the details of the shoes.

[Boots of the Void]

[Category: Special]

[Description: A mysterious item from the Endless Void. It may have once been a pair of ordinary battle boots, accidentally falling into the Endless Void. Over time, they were corrupted by some mysterious force, and their original properties were completely transformed. Due to their unassuming appearance, they were overlooked by many powerful beings. That is, until one day, by chance, they fell into another world, just as they had before. These boots are now revered by countless thieves, shadows, ghosts, and space-related deities as a priceless treasure, conferring their wielder an extremely special status.]

[Effect: Upon equipping the Boots of the Void, your affinity with and understanding of the power of space is enhanced by 30%, all attributes are increased by 10%, and your movement speed is increased by 200%!

Wearing these boots allows you to ignore any spatial barriers over short distances and instantly teleport. This teleportation cannot be interrupted, detected, or interfered with (this effect is only useful against beings with Divine Power and below). Additionally, you gain the ability to freely walk within the Endless Void.**

[Note: Due to the special nature of the Boots of the Void, unless destroyed by the power of spatial annihilation, they cannot be damaged, will not drop, and will not conflict with other equipment slots.]

Sterl stared wide-eyed at the effect and description of the [Boots of the Void], reading each line of information with intense focus, unwilling to miss a single detail.

It took him quite a while to fully absorb and process all the information. Finally, he let out a long breath, “Did I… just find a treasure?”

He looked down in disbelief at the Boots of the Void in his hands. This item was truly top-tier. Forget about its long history and special status—Sterl wasn’t particularly concerned with that.

What really caught his interest was the mention of the Endless Void. The Endless Void seemed to refer to the gap that exists between worlds—a merging of all gaps, known as the Endless Void. It was an incredibly vast concept.

In other words, everything beyond the world could be considered the Endless Void. However, the Endless Void was said to be extremely dangerous, often plagued by destructive storms. The storms and natural disasters that originated from the Endless Void were terrifying, and even deities were helpless against them. Only a complete world could be immune to such forces.

Additionally, within the Endless Void, there were massive Void Behemoths—powerful beings of great strength. Legends told of some of these Void Behemoths that even feasted on entire worlds. To an ordinary deity, these creatures were like nothing more than a small snack.

This was also why Orichalcum was willing to sacrifice everything to merge with the world—it was a matter of survival. Without this fusion, even the vast Orichalcum Kingdom would be at risk of annihilation, should it fall into the Endless Void.

Shaking his head, Sterl decided not to delve deeper into the Endless Void for now. Although he would encounter it eventually, this wasn’t the time. Instead, he refocused on studying the Boots of the Void and its effects.

Strong! Very strong! The mere boost to his affinity and understanding of the power of space was invaluable, something that couldn’t be measured with conventional standards. Furthermore, the 10% increase to all attributes might seem small at first glance, but it came without any restrictions.

This meant that even gods, higher-level deities, and beings with immense Divine Power would be subject to this effect—10% boost to all attributes. With this, the increase in values was enormous!

Additionally, the movement speed was doubled, and the ability to ignore spatial barriers and interference to perform instant teleportation was a skill that could be a lifesaver or used for surprise attacks!

For example, imagine the enemy setting up an intricate trap, surrounded by a complex formation designed to confine you. Just when they believe victory is assured, you suddenly teleport, appearing behind them. The damage and shock this causes would be utterly torturous!

As for the ability to walk within the Endless Void, Sterl’s instincts told him that this might be the most valuable feature of the Boots of the Void, though it couldn’t yet be fully demonstrated. Furthermore, these boots, despite their delicate appearance, were actually indestructible unless faced with the power of spatial annihilation. Nothing else could harm them. Most importantly, there were no level restrictions! This meant that they didn’t interfere with his other equipment slots, so he could wear two pairs of boots at once!

“Cough, cough, looks like Orichalcum Kingdom isn’t as bad as I thought…”

Without any hesitation, Sterl equipped the Boots of the Void. Immediately, he felt lighter, as though the very space around him was responding to his presence. His understanding of Space Law deepened, and it seemed like, with just a thought, he could freely traverse the surrounding space with no cost or limitations.

Looking down at his feet, he realized that the boots had seemingly vanished, as if they had fused with his body. The Boots of the Void were no longer visible, as if they had become part of him.

This unexpected windfall completely changed his view of the Orichalcum Kingdom. It also made him realize just how impressive the Royal Vault of the Orichalcum Kingdom was. The fact that such a treasure was stored so casually meant that almost anything in this vault could be incredibly valuable!

Thinking of the five more chances he had to choose, Sterl’s eyes lit up with excitement. He quickly focused on his next pick—an ornate pair of wings, positioned atop a delicate stone pillar, completely different from the surrounding items!

Wings! This was a special equipment slot, so it wouldn’t conflict with any other gear. And judging by their appearance and design, these wings were certainly no ordinary items!

“It’s settled then!”

With this in mind, Sterl activated the power of the Boots of the Void. In an instant, he appeared silently in front of the wings. The surrounding space remained calm, without a single ripple or fluctuation. It was as if Sterl had flown there at an incredibly high speed, but in reality, it had taken him no more than a fraction of a second to arrive.

“Such an incredible ability.”

He couldn’t help but marvel again. When the Boots of the Void activated the teleportation, it seemed to draw energy from the surrounding space, then merged that energy with Sterl himself, turning him into part of the space itself, allowing him to instantly leap to another point in space.

This method, even though Sterl had mastered Space Law, was beyond his reach. It was truly a masterpiece of spatial manipulation.

To think that such a powerful effect could come from a pair of shoes that were chosen at random—then these wings, which were placed high up and looked so unique, must be even more precious!

With a surge of excitement, Sterl grabbed the wings. They were surprisingly heavy, which only fueled his anticipation. Whatever these wings were, they were definitely something extraordinary!

[Confirm selection?]

[Confirm]

Without hesitation, Sterl chose the wings. Based on his instincts, he could tell that these wings were an extremely important treasure for the Orichalcum Kingdom.

As expected, once he confirmed his choice, a brilliant glow enveloped the wings. The next moment…

Boom!

Sterl’s vision went dark, and he felt as if he’d been hit by a speeding freight truck. His body was flung across the room, crashing hard into the vault’s wall.

The impact caused him a great deal of pain, but he didn’t mind it. In fact, it made him even more excited. He fixed his gaze on the wings inside the radiant light, knowing that something as powerful as this had to be a priceless treasure!

He teleported once again, silently waiting. After a short while, the brilliance surrounding the wings faded, revealing their true form… a pair of enormous wings, each more than fifty meters long!

“Uh…”

Sterl’s eyes widened, and he stared without blinking at the massive wings in front of him. A question rose in his mind: was this truly the equipment he had hoped for?

“Just a palm-sized object a moment ago, and now it’s this enormous… It must have the ability to grow and shrink. And even if it’s not some kind of equipment, it’s definitely incredibly valuable!”

He muttered to himself, then proceeded to check the item’s details.
