Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 539

Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Endless Energy Pool! The Power of Infinite Concepts!
“Looks like I underestimated the power of Dream Power,” Sterl said with a hint of excitement. The Royal Vault of Orichalcum truly had extremes—some treasures were incomparably extraordinary, while others were utterly useless.

He then focused on the remaining Dream Power within the Illusory Dream and gave a knowing smile. “No wonder this item has remained unused for so long. Just creating one false world consumed about one-tenth of its total Dream Power.”

This was after he had doubled the Dream Power reserve through his evolution ability. If it had been the original Illusory Dream, a single use like this would have consumed one-fifth of its energy.

At this rate, it wouldn’t take many uses for the Illusory Dream to be completely drained and fade into nothingness.

“This must be something the Orichalcum Kingdom extracted from Dreamland using the Dream Orb. The energy consumption is high, but with my evolution ability, I can use it continuously without worrying about replenishing its Dream Power.”

“Next, let’s test the so-called ‘turning the false into reality’ and see how far it can go.”

If it were only capable of creating a false world, Sterl wouldn’t be too impressed. After all, illusions are always just illusions. Even if he conjured a world-ending scene, the enemies he faced were gods—beings at a divine level. No matter how terrifying the spectacle, it wouldn’t break their resolve.

On the contrary, overly exaggerated illusions might arouse their suspicion and prompt them to uncover the Illusory Dream’s limitations, breaking its effects entirely.

Soon, the energy within the Illusory Dream began to fade again, and within the vault, the phantom of the Twelve-Winged Angel continued to radiate a terrifying aura. However, it still lacked a physical form.

But then, Sterl noticed something: the very tip of the angel’s enormous sword, spanning hundreds of meters, was starting to solidify, becoming real!

Moments later, the angel swung its sword once more. The same apocalyptic scene replayed itself in the vault. Yet this time, Sterl, standing outside the false world within the treasure vault, could clearly feel the entire vault tremble!

It was as if that sword strike had nearly shaken the protective defenses of the Royal Vault itself. At the same time, sharp aftershocks rippled through the vault, causing the treasures under the vault’s protection to shimmer with wave-like disturbances, as though a storm had passed over them.

Sterl’s face reflected disbelief. Initially, he had assumed the Illusory Dream could, at best, mimic the power of a low-tier divine being. But now, this sword’s impact had exceeded the limits of minor Divine Power. It was on par with the full force of his Destructive Divine Light, nearly reaching the lower threshold of a high-tier deity’s strength.

Sterl sensed the remaining Dream Power within the Illusory Dream. It was nearly depleted, with only the faintest trace left—essentially, this single strike had consumed all of the Dream Power.

Thinking about it, it didn’t seem like such a big deal, but then again, the Illusory Dream could still evolve. Sterl could continuously evolve it to increase its capacity!

This was only twice the original amount, and it had already unleashed such overwhelming power. What would happen if he increased it five times? Ten times? Even a hundred times?

Could he make this Twelve-Winged Angel completely real? Could he turn the world-destroying power into reality?

His heart raced with excitement. At this point, the value of Illusory Dream might even surpass that of Boots of the Void—it might even rival the power of the Soul Devourer Sphere!

In that moment, Sterl had an epiphany. He didn’t need to chase after high-quality or high-level items. Treasures like Illusory Dream, which seemed limited in use to any other god, could unleash unimaginable power in his hands! His cheat ability still hadn’t reached its full potential!

He carefully stowed the Illusory Dream away. There was only a tiny bit of Dream Power left. If he wasn’t careful, this item would disappear completely.

To obtain something similar would likely require entering Dreamland itself. However, Sterl had no knowledge about Dreamland. Even the Orichalcum Kingdom had been forced to cease its exploration of it, which suggested it was a place fraught with danger.

So, until he was fully prepared, he would definitely not risk entering.

“There are only three chances left. Even if I get nothing but junk, with the Boots of the Void and Illusory Dream, this will still be a big win,” he reassured himself. It was better to calm down before getting too excited. If the next few items turned out to be worthless, it would be quite the comical situation.

With that thought, he didn’t hesitate and quickly selected three items floating in the air. After confirming his choices, a burst of dazzling light engulfed the items. All of their restrictions disappeared, revealing their true forms.

Sterl didn’t bother to examine them closely. Instead, he went straight to the item information—life and death were in the hands of fate now. This next round would be a pure gamble.

“What if one day I could make the Goddess of Luck my deputy star? What if I could conquer and enslave her? Would my luck then break through its limits?” he wondered to himself. But that was probably impossible. If he had the power to suppress the Goddess of Luck, how could the force of mere fortune affect him?

Shaking his head, he focused and began to check the detailed information of the three items.

Staff of Glory: Shattered

Category: Special

Description: Once the highest authority in the Orichalcum Kingdom, this staff symbolized absolute power, capable of commanding all things and forces within the royal city. It was also a symbol of the divine status of the greatest gods. A powerful artifact forged from the world’s core, it was, however, shattered during a cataclysmic battle between gods—a battle so fierce it turned this mighty treasure into little more than an ornament.

Effect: While holding the staff, you possess a faint healing power and can also block certain mental and spiritual attacks.

Note: Though it is a broken staff, it still carries the weight of a glorious history. If you manage to restore the staff to its former state, you might become the new ruler of the Orichalcum Kingdom!

Mind Shield

Category: Special

Description: A shield imbued with a Mind Gem, this item appears unremarkable at first glance. One of the countless spoils of war of the Orichalcum Kingdom, it is not just a shield, but a testament to a lost power and a mark of Orichalcum’s glory.

Effect: Greatly enhances mental resilience, granting immunity to all mental attacks and influences from gods of lower rank. It also weakens mental assaults from upper-tier gods by 80%. Furthermore, any mental assault you suffer will be fully reflected back at the spellcaster.

Endless Energy Pool: Faux

Category: Special

Description: It is said that deep within the Endless Void, there exists a mysterious place known as the Endless Energy Pool, a source that gathers all the energy spilling out from the countless worlds within the Void. Legends tell that whoever controls the Endless Energy Pool will wield a power vast enough to transcend countless worlds, becoming a creator god-like existence. Countless powerful beings have sought to uncover this legend, and from this concept, they have crafted their own versions of the Endless Energy Pool. However, even those created by great gods are a mere fraction of its true form. Still, the Endless Energy Pool represents a monumental history and the relentless pursuit of countless beings.

Effect: Automatically absorbs any excess energy you generate, storing it for later use. When needed, the energy can be freely mobilized.

Looking at the three items, Sterl immediately dismissed the first one. He had figured it out—anything labeled with “Glory” in its name was utter trash!

A staff forged from the world’s core, reduced to its current state? If he had the strength to restore it, he would already be powerful enough to surpass the entirety of the royal city. Why would he need a little kingdom like the Orichalcum Kingdom?

Thankfully, the remaining two items turned out to be quite decent. The Mind Shield was a palm-sized shield, entirely silver-white and exquisitely crafted. At its center was a pink Mind Gem, adding an almost elegant touch to its design.

“Not bad,” Sterl remarked, tossing the shield lightly in his hand. This item didn’t even need to be actively equipped—just placing it in the inventory slot would activate its effects. It could defend against any mental attacks from beings below upper-tier gods, weaken the attacks of upper-tier gods by 80%, and even reflect those attacks entirely. Against an opponent specializing in mental powers, this shield would ensure an absolute and overwhelming victory.

What surprised Sterl the most, however, was the Endless Energy Pool.

“There’s a natural creation like this in the Endless Void?” he murmured, deeply shaken as he read through the description. A mysterious place that contained limitless energy—it was impossible to fathom such an existence.

Limitless energy included infinite Divine Power, infinite magic, infinite elements, and every known type of energy, endlessly flowing. Even the greatest of gods, standing before the power of the Endless Energy Pool, would likely find it untouchable.

Sterl couldn’t help but feel a yearning in his heart. Perhaps, one day in the future, he might get to witness the true face of the Endless Energy Pool!

For now, though, what he held in his hands was an object that resembled a heart. This was a creation modeled after the Endless Energy Pool, crafted by a powerful figure of the Orichalcum Kingdom in an attempt to replicate its properties.

It was said that the Endless Energy Pool had no definitive form—it was a concept of boundless energy. It could take the shape of a lake, a sphere, or even a single speck of dust. Because no one had ever truly seen the Endless Energy Pool, it had become the subject of infinite imagination. Until proven otherwise, one could imagine it to be anything!

However, the [Endless Energy Pool: Faux] in his hands was, unfortunately, far less impressive than the real thing.
