Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 562

Chapter 562: Chapter 562: Toying with the God of Space! Not What I Was!
Boom!

Although the five gods were all at the level of Weak Divine Power and had only mastered one form of divine authority and Law Power, they had developed this single divine authority to a very high level, not weaker than some gods who wielded two divine authorities or even a three-divine authority god like EternaBoris!

Moreover, their powers complemented each other, and the combined force they unleashed in battle was far from weak. In the sky, the meteors that had not yet descended were all shattered by their attacks.

However, even at the Platinum level, and with Sterl’s full force behind the Celestial Stars, they were not so easily destroyed. Every time one of the meteors was destroyed, the five gods consumed a significant amount of Divine Power.

The explosive force of each Celestial Stars was also absorbed mostly by these five gods. By the time half of the meteors had been destroyed, the five of them were already spitting blood from the corners of their mouths, their organs shaken by the intense pressure.

After destroying the fifteenth meteor, one of them made a fatal misstep and was caught in the aftershock of an explosion. He was severely wounded and nearly entered a death state. If not for his emergency trump card that could transfer the damage, he would have surely been incapacitated.

By the time the last five meteors were destroyed, all their methods had been exhausted. Only with great effort and close calls did they manage to dispel the final attacks.

In the end, Sterl’s twenty Celestial Stars were all neutralized. However, the gods were in a miserable state. Each one was badly injured, panting heavily, but still forced to remain vigilant for a potential ambush from Sterl. The pressure was enormous.

“So it’s them again!”

“Damn it, these despicable rats dare to show up again?”

Eterna and Morette noticed the five gods and were about to rush over to suppress them when other Ashen gods intervened, preventing them from acting. There was no opportunity to make a move.

However, with Sterl’s current strength, he didn’t need Morette or the others to intervene. These five weak Divine Power gods were no match for him. Even if they were upper-tier gods, he wouldn’t be afraid of them now!

“So it’s you five trash again? Heh…”

Sterl sneered, glancing down at the cannon fodder below. They were still trapped in the swamp, surrounded by monsters, unable to escape. These soldiers had no chance of fleeing for now.

Then, he turned his gaze back to the five gods, who were darting around like phantoms, his eyes flashing with a cold, murderous intent.

No wonder these five individuals could appear and disappear right under his nose. It turned out that one of them was a god who wielded the Space Divine Authority. The power of space was unlike any other Law—it belonged to a higher order of power. Coupled with the ability to manipulate space, it was one of the most troublesome divine authorities to deal with.

On top of that, another god was a master of the Shielding Divine Authority, the God of Shielding, who, combined with the Shielding Power granted by the upper realms of Ashen, could conceal their movements. Without constantly monitoring the map and paying close attention, it would have been nearly impossible for Sterl to detect them.

Feeling Sterl’s cold gaze, the five of them couldn’t help but feel a chill run down their spines, as though they had been targeted by a terrifying predator.

“Let’s go!”

Without hesitation, the five of them decided to retreat. Destroying the twenty meteors had cost them dearly, and facing this monster head-on was certain death—nothing left but ashes.

The right strategy was to use their Space Law to constrain him and impede this Hades from slaughtering the army. The rest would be up to the powerful existence from Ashen, who would break through the limits, allowing them to complete their task and finally leave this cursed place.

“Think you can escape?”

Sterl’s lips curled into a sinister grin. As he sensed the spatial fluctuations around him, he immediately understood that these five were trying to flee.

However, gods who wielded the Space Divine Authority were rare. Now that he had encountered one, how could he let them simply slip away? That would be far too disrespectful.

“Let me see, is your Space Law stronger, or is mine?”

Sterl immediately activated his own Space Law power, reinforcing the space around him, making it harder for the enemy to teleport or move through it. The god who wielded the Space Law suddenly had a look of horror on his face.

“Damn, this monster also wields the Space Divine Authority?”

He was stunned. The Space Divine Authority and Space Law were incredibly powerful, but they were also extremely difficult to master. Not only did they require exceptional spatial talent, but they also demanded great luck and immense opportunities. The time and effort he had spent to reach this level, the countless hardships he had endured, were unimaginable.

But none of that mattered now. What mattered was that facing an enemy who also wielded the power of space, it wasn’t going to be easy to escape.

“What!?”

The other four gods were also taken aback for a moment. Gritting their teeth, they pulled out a token inscribed with countless runes and immediately activated it. A shimmering light emanated from the token, enveloping all of them in a protective barrier.

This was a life-saving trump card that the five gods possessed. Within ten seconds, unless an upper-tier god intervened, it was virtually indestructible.

“Your Space Divine Authority has reached the peak of Weak Divine Power. When it comes to space mastery, no matter how strong this monster is, he cannot surpass you!”

“That’s right, we need to use this time to break free of his restraints!”

Listening to their words, Sterl did not attack. Instead, he looked at them with great interest, as if they were merely amusing toys.

The god who wielded the Space Divine Authority was now drenched in sweat, desperately using his control over the power of space, trying to break free from Sterl’s forceful hold.

However, Sterl possessed the Heart of Dimensions and was also augmented by the Boots of the Void. When it came to controlling the power of space, no matter how skilled this god was, unless they wielded a higher-tier divine authority, it was impossible for him to break Sterl’s power.

At that moment, Sterl raised an eyebrow, suddenly coming up with an amusing idea. He activated his power, creating faint ripples of space around the god.

It appeared as though the restraints had been broken, and the god had successfully activated space, preparing to tear open a rift and escape.

The God of Space was overjoyed. Confidence surged within him, realizing that although this monster was incredibly strong, he was still the superior one when it came to mastering Space Law.

“Hurry! Everyone, gather around me!”

He quickly called out. The life-saving shield was now down to its last few seconds. Then, looking directly at Sterl, the God of Space couldn’t help but smirk with pride and mockery.

“Goodbye.”

As he spoke, a Portal of Space appeared before him. Without hesitation, the five gods stepped through. The monster might be stronger, but as long as they could escape, it wouldn’t matter. In the end, he was just a mindless brute—strong but utterly lacking in the ability to catch them.

“Goodbye? Oh, we’ll definitely meet again.”

Sterl also grinned, a look of excitement crossing his face as he watched the five gods walk through the portal.

In the next moment, space around him rippled as well. A portal of space appeared, and the five gods, including the God of Space, stepped back out, their faces adorned with triumphant smiles, as if they had just survived a near-death experience.

“Finally, we’ve escaped that monster’s grasp.”

“Hmph! No matter how strong he is, when it comes to Space Law, he could never…”

Before the God of Space could finish his words, they were abruptly cut off, as if something had clutched his throat. His eyes widened in confusion as he looked forward, and the other four gods followed his gaze, only to freeze in place, as if petrified.

In front of them, Sterl stood with a broad smile, his lips curling upward to reveal his white teeth, much like a predator eyeing a helpless little rabbit.

“I didn’t expect to see you again so soon…”

Sterl’s grin grew even more radiant, making the five gods feel an overwhelming sense of dread. At this moment, the God of Space trembled and turned around, only to see the protective barrier they had cast begin to crumble, its duration expired.

Realizing what had just happened, his face went blank with disbelief. He finally understood—they had been played by this Hades. Or rather, he had been utterly and completely toyed with and brutalized! His pride in his mastery of space seemed utterly useless in front of this being. What he had thought was him overcoming Sterl’s power was, in fact, nothing more than a trap laid for him to fall into.

“What a pity. It seems this time, there’s no escape for you. Just a while ago, during that ambush, you almost managed to hurt me…”

With a thought, the surrounding space became incredibly solid, locking the five gods in place. Slowly, Sterl raised his hand, gathering a terrifying divine light in his palm. Before the five gods could even react or resist, both Moon Law and Time Law activated simultaneously.

In that instant, despite standing before five full-fledged gods, their minds were completely imprisoned, as though all their thoughts had been put on pause. The divine light surged outward, enveloping the five gods, who were now trapped by the combined power of Temporal-Spatial Law and Moon Law!

It was worth noting that Sterl, now, was not the same as the one who had just joined the Orichalcum nation. His power had grown two or three times stronger since then!

Previously, when he fully unleashed the Destruction Divine Light, he was able to defeat and even kill Boris, a powerful being with three divine authorities. Now, facing five gods, that same Destruction Divine Light acted like a superheated, hyper-corrosive force, its power enhanced beyond recognition. And with the Temporal-Spatial Law restraining them, the five gods couldn’t even activate their Divine Power to protect themselves. They were like five fragile little rabbits, their bodies instantly disintegrating into nothingness—no ashes, no remnants, just gone!

In a single instant, all their strength turned to dust, their Divine Power dissipated, their divine authority shattered, and they were utterly obliterated!
