Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 584

Chapter 584: Chapter 584: Burning Divine Authority? Has Silver Moon Wolf God Gone Mad!?
“Damn it! Stupid coward!”

Seeing that the Silver Moon Wolf God was still trying to escape, Sterl couldn’t help but curse in his mind. A high-ranking god, and yet he was really going to treat himself like a dog? Insulted to this extent, and still scurrying off with his tail between his legs?

“Run, go ahead, run… Do you think it will make any difference? Trash will always be trash! I’ve already touched the boundary of upper-tier gods. My current power can already match yours. When I ascend to an upper-tier god, killing you will be like slaughtering a dog!

By then, I’ll make you understand what true despair and cruelty really are!”

As the Silver Moon Wolf God was preparing to make his escape, Sterl spoke once more, his eyes brimming with an uncontrollable killing intent, looking at his opponent like prey.

Upon meeting Sterl’s gaze, the Silver Moon Wolf God shuddered. A chilling sense of dread surged from deep within him, and for some reason, his scalp went numb.

His instincts screamed at him that this wasn’t just an empty threat—this was truly how Hades felt. Once Hades became an upper-tier god, he would likely stop at nothing to kill him.

And Hades was right. The battle strength of this Hades, as a weak-level Divine Power, was by far the strongest he had ever seen. Once Hades gained an upper-tier divine authority, his power would leap forward in an unimaginable way. At that point, the Silver Moon Wolf God might not even have the strength to resist him.

A shiver ran down the Silver Moon Wolf God’s spine. His previously shaken heart gradually began to stabilize as he carefully considered his options. If he fled now, the God of Runes would definitely wipe out all the remaining Ashen gods and their forces. Then, they would send in their armies to assault the Ashen Temple. Even if he managed to survive for now, as a heavily injured upper-tier god, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the ongoing battles. The entire Ashen Temple could very well fall because of this.

However, if he chose to fight, risking everything to kill this Ashen Temple’s greatest threat—the strongest enemy and the most despicable sinner—he would not only eliminate a massive threat but also possibly avoid being hunted by the God of Runes.

Because, as an upper-tier god, his strength and vitality were incredibly resilient. Without absolute crushing power, it would be extremely difficult to kill someone of the same rank.

So…

Silver Moon Wolf God, who had originally planned to flee, refocused his gaze on Sterl. “Do you really want to die that badly?”

He asked in a low, menacing voice. As an upper-tier god, he wasn’t a fool—he could tell that something was off with Sterl’s behavior.

What he couldn’t understand was why this person kept provoking him over and over again. Didn’t Sterl know that if an upper-tier god was truly determined to eradicate a being of a lower rank, no one could stop them?

Seeing that Silver Moon Wolf God had abandoned his escape plan, Sterl quietly let out a sigh of relief. As long as he didn’t run, things would be manageable. If he had tried to escape, it would have been a big problem for Sterl. A mocking look appeared on his face. “Is that really all you’ve got?”

Still the same arrogant, defiant attitude. The sight of Sterl’s figure made Silver Moon Wolf God’s rage flare up, and he almost wanted to tear that face apart.

“Then let’s say goodbye to this world!”

A howl, thunderous and earth-shaking, erupted from Silver Moon Wolf God. This time, he revealed his true form. His upper-tier Moon Divine Authority was unleashed to its fullest extent, and the mark on his forehead glowed more intensely than ever. At the same time, every last ounce of his upper-tier Divine Power was drawn forth. In an instant, a brilliant silver moon appeared in the sky, its radiance spreading and rippling, quickly covering the entire land in a layer of silver frost.

Seeing the silver moon, God of Runes, still in the process of gathering power, froze for a moment. His expression changed drastically when he realized the truth—this silver moon wasn’t merely an embodiment of Silver Moon Wolf God’s power. It was the true essence of the Moon Path, a condensation of all the fundamental laws and origins of the Moon!

At that moment, the path of the moon erupted, and the only possible cause for this was one:

Silver Moon Wolf God was willing to burn his own upper-tier Moon Divine Authority at all costs. Only then could the Origin of the Moon manifest!

In the blink of an eye, God of Runes understood. This Silver Moon Wolf God was willing to risk everything to kill Hades!

“This is bad! You madman!”

With no time left to continue gathering runes, God of Runes immediately altered the runes’ properties, shifting them to speed and protection. A barrier enveloped him, and he began rushing toward Sterl. But at that moment, the silver moon in the sky shuddered slightly.

Suddenly, God of Runes’ speed slowed down drastically, even more so than before he had activated the protection runes!

As for the center of the area shrouded by the silver moon, Sterl stood frozen in place, his face showing an expression of utter disbelief.

His original goal had simply been to provoke Silver Moon Wolf God, forcing him to delay his escape. But now… had the wolf god completely lost his mind? Was he really willing to burn his own upper-tier divine authority?

Sterl knew that this process was irreversible. Even if one tried to halt it forcibly, the consequences were dire—at best, it would result in severe, life-threatening injuries, with cracks appearing in the divine authority, on the verge of shattering. At worst, the divine authority and Divine Power would be completely consumed, leading to a certain death.

Typically, this kind of desperate measure was only taken when there was no other option, when not even one’s soul could survive. And as the fuel for such a desperate act, using upper-tier divine authority was incredibly powerful, far beyond what one might expect.

Now, under the light of the Origin of the Moon, Sterl found himself completely immobilized. The small amount of Moon Law he had control over had no effect at all. Meanwhile, Silver Moon Wolf God’s aura was rapidly expanding, as the burning divine authority transformed into a massive surge of energy, violently strengthening his body within a short time.

At that moment, the remnants of destructive power in Silver Moon Wolf God’s chest were swept away by the overwhelming force. His vitality surged, vibrating through his body, completely healing the gaping wound. A power unlike any he had ever felt coursed through him, giving him a brief illusion that, with this newfound strength, even powerful Divine Powers might be within his reach.

But quickly, he snapped out of the illusion. He looked at Sterl with eyes full of hatred. The power was as fierce as it was. But once it faded, his fate would be miserable—he might even fall from his position as an upper-tier god, becoming nothing more than a weak Divine Power, or even worse.

The absurdity of it all hit him. Here he was, an ancient and powerful upper-tier god, reduced to this state because of a mere weak Divine Power god. The thought made him even more determined: only by eradicating this man could he secure his true survival.

“Die!”

With a slight movement of his will, Silver Moon Wolf God poured all the burning power of his divine authority into a single, focused surge. The moon symbol on his forehead flared, erupting with blinding light!

That’s right. The power that Silver Moon Wolf God unleashed at this moment was none other than the Fallen Moon’s Death Ray. However, compared to before, this time, the Fallen Moon’s Death Ray was incredibly terrifying. Its scale was several times larger than before, so much so that one could even wonder if this beam of destruction could truly bring down the very moon in the sky!

Witnessing this, God of Runes was filled with urgency. His upper-tier rune divine authority activated furiously, casting one rune after another in an attempt to stop Silver Moon Wolf God’s attack.

But the light of the Origin of the Moon was already upon him. Whether it was the attacks he unleashed or his own movements, everything was moving incredibly slowly. As soon as he drew near Silver Moon Wolf God, the moonlight surrounding the wolf god shattered his efforts effortlessly.

“That was close…”

Looking at the Fallen Moon’s Death Ray that was on the verge of being fully unleashed, Sterl took a deep breath, feeling a lingering sense of dread.

He hadn’t expected that a mad upper-tier god could release such terrifying power.

Fortunately, even under the influence of the Origin of the Moon, by using his Time Law, he was still able to break free a little. At least he could move enough to avoid complete immobility, but that was already a struggle.

“This is really the end…”

Sterl murmured to himself. He then took out Illusory Dream and activated the Fifteen Times Dream Power contained within.

Immediately, the invisible and formless Dream Power surged forth, beginning to shift and change according to Sterl’s will. In the next instant, a swirling, inky-black vortex began to slowly form in his hand—like a nascent black hole, it emerged ominously.

That’s right! This was what Sterl intended to create using the Dream Power—a vortex based on the concept of a black hole, designed to devour and obliterate everything in its path!
