Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 674

Chapter 674: Chapter 674: Law Convergence? Will of Hell is Stunned!
“Hah…”

Sterl let out a long breath, slowly calming the weakness that followed the disappearance of his power.

“How’s it going? Is the pressure in the eight core layers of Hell still increasing?”

He asked the Will of Hell, having successfully adapted to his current state.

This might be the only side effect of soul power enhancement—every time the power fades away, the feeling is extremely unpleasant. It even makes him question his current strength.

If his soul weren’t strong enough and his will not resolute, he might even end up falling into inner demons, which would cause his power to decline, and he would lose any hope of advancing further.

“This Soul Devourer Sphere is really full of dangers…”

Sterl couldn’t help but murmur. Whether it was absorbing souls, refining them, or absorbing soul power, all of it came with tremendous backlash.

What he hadn’t expected was that even enhancing his power with soul energy would have such a strong side effect. It was like being cursed, stuck with something as relentless as maggots clinging to the bones—no matter how hard you try, you can’t shake it off.

Fortunately, with Sterl’s soul strength and willpower, he could endure these side effects.

However, it had made him more cautious.

This side effect meant that, with large-scale soul power enhancement, even he could potentially fall into the state of inner demons.

So, unless absolutely necessary, he couldn’t rely too much on this method. Personal growth and improvement were the only real solutions.

“…No… No, all the core entities transmitting energy and souls to the core layers of Hell have been cleared by you. But… but the situation in the core layers is still very difficult. If this continues, it’ll probably only hold up for another two or three days at most.”

The Will of Hell snapped out of its stupor and hurriedly answered Sterl’s question.

It had gathered its will and followed Sterl all the way, completely subdued by his power.

It had once thought that all hope was lost, but unexpectedly, it encountered a transcendent being who forcefully lifted it back up.

How much time had passed since Sterl returned to Hell?

Considering the initial delay, it hadn’t been more than a few minutes, and Sterl had bulldozed through thirty layers of Hell in just over thirty seconds!

In those mere thirty seconds, the Will of Hell felt as if thirty years had passed. As it gazed upon Sterl’s towering figure, it nearly felt compelled to materialize its form and kneel before him.

Not only that, but the Will of Hell’s awe toward Sterl had reached its peak. After realizing the true extent of this monster’s strength, even if Sterl were to take all the authority from it, the Will of Hell would not resist.

Because the cost of resistance was something it could never bear!

“Two or three days? Hah… it won’t take that long.”

Sterl sneered. From what he could see, these mysterious invaders couldn’t do anything against him while he was in his soul-powered state. As for the remaining layers of Hell from 81 to 100, he could easily repeat his previous tactics and sweep through them with the same method!

Two or three days? Even if he chose not to consume soul power, he was confident that he could take down those twenty layers of Hell in half a day!

Additionally, from what he had seen earlier, it was clear that while this mysterious force might be incredibly powerful, their target was not just Hell alone.

This meant he didn’t need to worry about being specifically targeted by this force. His safety was assured.

Next, he checked the number of soul puppets in Purgatory Space. With the additional gains from the next ten layers, the total was exactly three hundred million!

Of course, this didn’t count the insect legions; otherwise, just by numbers alone, they likely numbered in the billions.

Three hundred million soul puppets in their normal state, if all refined, would yield three million soul power. That was an incredibly huge number, even for Sterl, and it was incredibly tempting.

Moreover, on average, each layer had yielded many souls of elite monsters whose quality reached the upper levels of divine authority. By rough calculation, about 80 points of soul power could be obtained from each layer.

From the beginning until now, Sterl had swept through Hell from layer thirty-three to layer seventy-nine!

If all of this were refined into high-level soul power, it would exceed 3,700 points!

That was an enormous number!

It was roughly equivalent to the soul production of three of his core entity puppets over the course of a month.

For context, when he first absorbed high-level soul power to break through his limits, it only took 750 points of high-level soul power. Now, with a total of 3,700 points, even breaking through the second limit would be easily achievable!

With this in mind, the slight annoyance that Sterl had been feeling immediately faded, replaced by excitement. He could already envision how, after absorbing all these gains and experiencing another huge power boost, the stunned expressions of the masterminds behind all of this.

“Respected Mr. Sterl, the blessing power for these thirty layers has been fully gathered, and I have also consolidated the authority of Hell. Would you like to merge them now?”

At that moment, the voice of the Will of Hell echoed softly in his ear.

Sterl raised an eyebrow, a smile creeping onto his face. He had almost forgotten about this!

The amount of Hell’s Blessing he usually received was quite small, but with thirty layers stacked together, it was still a significant gain.

Moreover, with so much Hellish authority, mastering it would allow him to comprehend the Law Power contained within these layers of Hell.

No matter which one, both would be of great benefit to Sterl’s strength.

“Of course.”

He nodded, and immediately, the Will of Hell began to gather. Soon, a dazzling, radiant light descended from the heavens, enveloping Sterl’s body.

The blessing power automatically integrated into his body, continuously enhancing his already terrifying physique.

Before long, the blessing power accumulated from the thirty layers of Hell was fully absorbed by Sterl.

[You are blessed by the Will of Hell: Your vitality increases by 30%! Your energy increases by 50%! Your attributes increase by 40 points!]

Hearing the prompt, Sterl nodded with satisfaction. As expected, the blessing from thirty layers of Hell was quite impressive.

The 30% vitality boost expanded his health bar significantly, and he also received a noticeable increase in his four main attributes.

Though each attribute only increased by 40 points, considering Sterl’s current base stats, the increase was already substantial.

“Not bad, not bad.”

He stretched his body. After experiencing the power of soul energy enhancement, he adapted to the changes brought by this increase in no time at all.

“Is this also a benefit of soul energy enhancement?”

He smiled faintly. With a shift of his thoughts, Sterl began to accept the authority of these layers of Hell. Before long, he had fully grasped the liberated Hellish authority.

Next, he began using this authority to comprehend a variety of Laws.

Magnetic Law, Gravitational Law, Storm Law, Thunder Law, Dark Law, Penetration Law…

One Law after another was mastered by Sterl, and in an incredibly short time, he reached the perfect level with each of them!

The Will of Hell gathered nearby, and if it had a physical form, it would have been staring wide-eyed, its face filled with shock as it watched Sterl.

Because, to its perception, Sterl now seemed like a monster formed from various Laws.

It was almost unbelievable to the Will of Hell that such a complex array of Laws could be concentrated in a single living being!

It knew well that even when it created a new layer of Hell, it could only combine a few Laws, and it required the Authority of Hell to do so.

Thirty… forty… eighty…

As the number of Laws surrounding Sterl grew, the Will of Hell’s initial shock had slowly turned into panic and unease.

It was horrified to realize that the Laws increasing on Sterl’s body were all Laws from Hell itself!

This could only mean one thing—Sterl was rapidly comprehending and mastering the Laws of Hell at an incredible speed!

Was this really a human? Or was it a terrifying monster in human form?!

These were Laws, not simple arithmetic like one plus one! Even with the support of authority, it should not be possible to master them this quickly!

And the Will of Hell could clearly sense that all the Laws emanating from Sterl were at the perfect level! This made it question whether its own consciousness had begun to falter!

A perfect level Law could support a demigod in mastering divine authority and advancing to the level of a true god.

Even gods, when not aiming to break through to higher divine authority, could only manage to master a maximum of five perfect Laws throughout their entire lives.

But now, it seemed that nearly every second, Sterl was comprehending a new Law, and in the next instant, that Law was already at a perfect level!

What was even more disturbing was that many of the Laws were highly contradictory to each other. Yet, with Sterl, there was no sign of conflict between them. The Will of Hell was at a complete loss for words in describing the monster before it, which, despite appearing human, was anything but.

In less than ten minutes, Sterl slowly opened his eyes, a strange and complex light flashing in them.

“Excluding some redundant Laws, I’ve now mastered three hundred and sixty perfect-level Law Powers…”

He murmured to himself, then slowly extended his hand. Sterl could feel the entire world responding to him.

But this world wasn’t just the seventy-nine layers of Hell—it was Hell itself!

Even the Will of Hell felt this resonance. This situation had surpassed its understanding; it was something it had never encountered before!
