Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 841

Chapter 841: Chapter 841: Unstoppable Force! The Hidden Hand!
Wood scratched his head, his expression one of confusion. He suddenly realized that as the commander of the Royal Guard, he might be a bit redundant.

A powerful enemy that he had to go all out against… had just been slain with a single sword strike by His Majesty?

After a moment of silence, he withdrew his gaze from Sterl and instead looked toward the heavy-armored soldiers and the Radiant Heavy Cavalry not far off. He figured it would be better not to embarrass himself and instead focus on clearing out the regular soldiers.

His thoughts were a bit disorganized, but deep inside, he couldn’t help but feel exhilarated. The unstoppable, invincible Emperor before him perfectly matched everything he had once imagined.

That is, the combination of the warlord’s commanding abilities and the Nightmare Overlord’s overwhelming combat power would undoubtedly create an invincible ruler!

And now, this unknown Emperor had successfully integrated those traits, and… the combat prowess shown by His Majesty seemed even more ferocious than the former Nightmare Overlord!

“This time, even the King of Many Causes won’t be able to stop the spread of nightmares!”

He growled under his breath, lifting his dual-bladed, serrated greatsword, and charged into the crowd of enemies.

Sterl casually struck down a commander who was preparing to self-destruct, then kicked to death a centurion who had quietly snuck up on him. With every step, he killed one person, leaving no survivors for miles—this phrase seemed to have fully manifested in him.

“Think you can encircle and kill me this way? How laughable.”

Sterl remained utterly indifferent to the strong enemies closing in on him from all directions.

He knew the enemy commander’s plan—to wear him down while he was recovering from the blow by the Radiant Warrior.

But in reality, that punch from the Radiant Warrior hadn’t harmed him at all. Instead, it was his own explosive power that had caused some internal injuries to his muscles and tissues.

However, in his Star-Bone Body state, those injuries were already healing.

As for his endurance, dealing with officers who didn’t even have the strength of powerful divine beings, he didn’t even need to use one-tenth of his strength. Even at half-strength, he could easily crush and slaughter them.

With this level of combat, he could sustain for days!

Thus, Monroe’s plan was doomed to failure.

On the other side, Monroe wasn’t foolish. With secret rune resonance, he could see everything happening on the battlefield. He quickly realized that sending strong warriors to encircle and kill Sterl was pointless.

Soon, the number of powerful opponents emerging from all directions began to dwindle.

In the sky, massive shadows reappeared. They were unmistakably the same Angel’s Wings from earlier, appearing like a rain of meteors once again!

“Oh? You think this will work against me?”

Sterl raised an eyebrow, feeling the weight of the gravity field descending upon him. He had an odd sensation in his heart.

The terrifying gravity, five hundred times normal, covered him, but it felt like trying to restrain a frenzying beast with nothing more than strands of hair.

The immense, unimaginable power within him only needed the slightest activation to completely shatter the effects of the gravity field!

Not far away, many of the Nightmare powerhouses, watching Sterl surrounded by the gravity field, had a flicker of concern in their eyes. However, they didn’t rush to assist blindly.

The strength that His Majesty had shown had already exceeded their expectations. Even if they went, they would only add chaos and increase casualties, without achieving anything useful.

This had already been proven by the Royal Guard Commander Wood, who had witnessed it firsthand.

Therefore, all they could do was pray for Sterl and fight desperately to break through, slaughtering every enemy blocking their way!

In an instant, everyone unleashed one hundred and twenty percent of their combat power. Even the Heavy Armor Legion and Radiant Heavy Cavalry Legion, putting everything into it, struggled to stop their breakout speed.

At this moment, a dull sound reverberated, drawing the attention of many.

In the sky, the armored humanoids had begun their deathly strikes.

Massive, ten-meter-tall giants descended from the heavens. The terrifying weight, combined with the amplification from the gravity field and the raw strength of the armored giants themselves, made them nearly unstoppable—any god or Buddha that stood in their way would be slain!

However, Sterl, who was suppressed by the gravity field, moved like a nimble fish, swiftly weaving through the area within a ten-mile radius. The falling armored giants couldn’t even brush the hem of his clothing.

“So this is what they call Angel’s Wings?”

While dodging, Sterl analyzed the data on the armored giants, speaking slowly.

“When facing truly powerful opponents, this kind of power is ineffective, unless there is someone of the same level to restrain them. But for overwhelming entire legions, it is indeed highly effective.”

He sidestepped a hammer strike, then took a deep breath and delivered a powerful kick.

Thud!

The ten-meter-tall armored humanoid was sent flying by Sterl’s kick. Before it even hit the ground, countless pieces of shattered armor fell, clearly having been reduced to rubble.

“If it can’t be of use to me, then break it all apart.”

Sterl said as he swung Sword of the World continuously.

With the sword’s sharpness and Sterl’s raw strength, these armored humanoids were treated like oversized toys, each one dismantled with a single strike.

In less than a minute, the ground was covered with a thick layer of shattered armor fragments, and the number of armored humanoids floating in the air had been reduced by almost half.

The remaining armored humanoids didn’t continue to descend but quickly ascended and disappeared, avoiding the risk of being annihilated by Sterl.

“Kill!!”

At that moment, from the Heavy Armor Legion, sixteen Armored Soldiers, clad in silver armor, charged forward.

These Armored Soldiers wielded golden twin swords. They resembled the Radiant Warriors, but compared to them, these soldiers exuded a sharper, more vicious aura, like sixteen maddened beasts.

“Oh, it’s you again…”

Sterl’s eyes narrowed as he recognized them immediately.

The last time he descended alone, it was these sixteen Armored Soldiers who had forced him to retreat.

Back then, these Armored Soldiers had presented a significant threat, but now… the tables had turned.

In the next moment, the sixteen Armored Soldiers rushed toward Sterl simultaneously, their twin swords becoming countless afterimages as they slashed furiously.

A cold gleam flashed in Sterl’s eyes. The Sword of the World was instantly sheathed, and with an odd burst of force, it was swiftly drawn again.

‘Overlord Sword·Ring Sever!’

In an instant, a sharp ring-shaped sword energy exploded outward, and half of the Armored Soldiers, unable to evade, were sliced directly by the sword energy.

The strength of these Armored Soldiers was comparable to the peak of upper divine authority, even bordering on the power of a half-step divine being. Yet, in the face of Sterl’s master-level sword energy and the immense strength behind it, they were cleaved in half, their life forces shredded by the sword energy, falling on the spot.

After the deaths of these Armored Soldiers, the remaining eight Armored Soldiers’ auras suddenly expanded, clearly indicating a system similar to that of the Radiant Warriors.

“A thousand combined forces would not be my match, let alone you.”

Sterl sneered, holding the Sword of the World like a heavy shield in front of him.

The eight remaining Armored Soldiers surrounded Sterl, their twin swords swinging with wild abandon, like eight rabid dogs.

One Armored Soldier could strike at least ten thousand times in a second, each slash carrying the power of an upper divine authority. Even Sterl felt a faint pressure.

Of course, it wasn’t that his strength was being suppressed. It was more that his body was under pressure, as he had to restrain his power while withstanding the violent shocks from the rapid slashes. He could feel his body struggling to keep up.

But in the next moment, Sword of the World swept across again, releasing only one-tenth of his power. It directly collided with the eight Armored Soldiers’ strikes, instantly splitting them all in half, leaving them no time to gather their strength.

After dealing with the sixteen Armored Soldiers, Sterl’s threat to the Dream Spirit Empire had grown even greater.

It seemed that with a simple, brutal force, Sterl had wiped out one of the Dream Spirit Empire’s trump cards. But in reality, he knew his own situation all too well.

“I can’t keep fighting like this, or else my power will inevitably spiral out of control,” he silently thought to himself.

In contrast, he wasn’t overly concerned with the Dream Spirit Empire’s assassinations. What he truly feared was the terrifying power sealed within him. If that power truly broke free, it would mean self-destruction, a spectacle for the enemy to witness.

Just as this thought surfaced, several massive beasts, resembling ferocious tigers, charged out from the legion.

These beasts were incredibly fast, their strength reaching the level of a powerful divine being. They could briefly Transcend at the speed of light, breaking the limits of space and time.

Furthermore, while their attacks weren’t particularly strong, their defense was formidable, second only to the Nightmare Marshal Nightmare Worm.

Such enemies were undoubtedly the most troublesome for Sterl. To defeat them in one strike, he would need to use even more of his power.

A heavy sense of unease settled in Sterl’s heart, an ominous premonition growing stronger. It felt as though something was watching him in the shadows, analyzing his weaknesses. Otherwise, he wouldn’t keep encountering opponents so specifically designed to counter him.

“This is interesting… hiding and watching from the shadows, huh? Come out, you trash!”

Sterl’s gaze sharpened, and with a mental push, his immense telekinetic power slammed outward.

Under this surge of power, a section of the ground not far away briefly blurred for a moment. Just that split second was enough for Sterl to catch it.

“This ability… it’s not pure sensory blocking, it’s been integrated into the environment itself!”

With a sneer, Sterl immediately charged toward that direction. A massive beast lunged at him in an instant, but it collided directly with the greatsword in his hand, its head cleaved off in one strike.

Upon closer inspection, Sterl’s eyes were gleaming with faint divine light.

With the combined power of Spiritual Transcendence and abundant Power of Star-Bone, he had forcibly activated the Dimension Perception ability.

Under Dimension Perception, though the beasts moved with incredible speed, Sterl had already predicted their actions before they even began.

In a single clash, all the beasts were wiped out, and Sterl arrived at the spot where the anomaly had appeared.
