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

At this moment, the Will of Hell could not understand Sterl’s current state. It could only sense that an incredibly terrifying energy seemed to be coiling around Sterl.

Moreover, after several observations, it had become apparent that every time Sterl entered this state, his aura would increase dramatically!

However, from the perspective of the Will of Hell, Sterl’s power wasn’t increasing—it was being unsealed!

Yes! Unsealed!

It couldn’t believe that there was any method that could allow such a rapid increase in strength without any side effects.

Adding to its earlier speculation, the only explanation that made sense was that Sterl was an ancient and terrifying being who had lived for an unimaginable amount of time, yet remained hidden from view. Every time he entered this state, it was actually just unsealing the power that had always belonged to him!

Thinking this, the Will of Hell couldn’t help but feel a sense of panic. Such beings, in its experience, usually had committed heinous, world-shaking acts—acts that made them enemies of heaven and earth, forcing them to hide away in fear of being discovered by their foes.

The Will of Hell recalled a terrifying demon god from its past: a being who had performed multiple blood sacrifices, slaughtering countless life forms and even attempting to hunt gods to complete its dark rituals.

This had incited the wrath of the gods, who had eventually teamed up to destroy the demon god. However, rumors suggested that the demon god had not truly died. Instead, it had hidden itself away, planning new schemes.

Could this mysterious, powerful monster be a similar demon god?

At this moment, Sterl’s aura suddenly expanded dramatically, causing the Will of Hell to shudder with fear. It became more certain of its thoughts.

Its heart was filled with dread. A creature so fearsome—if it were angered, could it reveal its true form and simply devour him?

Also, despite sending out so many distress signals, only this person had come to offer help. Could he have some other hidden agenda?

For a moment, the Will of Hell was overwhelmed with confusion and fear.

But at this point, they were already in the same boat. Without Sterl, the Will of Hell would be doomed, and Hell itself would be destroyed. There was no way out. So, the Will of Hell had no choice but to proceed.

If Sterl were to learn what the Will of Hell was thinking, he would probably burst out laughing.

Who would have thought that a world’s will could be so filled with fear and anxiety? Had he become too ruthless?

Impossible—he, Sterl, was a righteous person, never involved in anything that would harm the heavens or the world. @@novelbin@@

As for the souls he had devoured and the creatures he had killed? Well, that wasn’t his fault. If others showed hostility toward him, there was a good chance that their next move would be to try to harm him, possibly endangering both him and his family. So, he had no choice but to eliminate them.

Moreover, to prevent any future problems, he had to uproot them completely—everything was done out of necessity.

Of course, Sterl wasn’t in the mood to dwell on these matters now. Instead, he was completely focused on feeling the changes in his body, experiencing the gradual strengthening that came with the refining effect of the soul power.

The more soul power he absorbed, the more Sterl felt that the increase in soul power seemed to be purely elevating the essence of his life itself.

As for the changes in strength, they were merely a natural result of the enhancement of his life level.

But for Sterl, as long as it made him stronger, it was all good.

Five hundred thousand... six hundred thousand...

Every minute, over a hundred thousand soul power would merge into his body—not just into his body, but into his soul as well!

Though after reaching level 75 in his soul, each additional level now required about 40,000 to 50,000 soul power, a full one million soul power had transformed into soul experience, so he still gained tremendous improvements with every infusion.

More than ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Everything felt so fast for Sterl that, if possible, he would have preferred to remain in this state forever.

Meanwhile, the Will of Hell was growing increasingly alarmed during this time.

But this wasn’t entirely its fault. For over ten minutes, Sterl’s aura had been expanding almost without pause. The Will of Hell even began to fear that Sterl might soon tear through his own body and reveal his true form.

"It’s over…"

As the final thread of soul power entered, Sterl slowly opened his eyes.

Suddenly, a blinding divine light burst from his eyes. This light seemed capable of piercing through the very soul itself, and even the world’s will felt an overwhelming pressure, as if it were facing a powerful new world being born.

"Just as expected, two million soul power… Now, I’m truly powerful."

Sterl slowly spread his arms, making a gesture as if to embrace the world, exuding the air of a god—noble and powerful.

With just a slight movement of his thoughts, his body, now brimming with terrifying vitality, surged with an energy that could rival a towering flood. Under his control, it slowly began to circulate, then just as silently, it faded into stillness again.

The increase in soul power wasn’t immediate; it was a gradual and slow process.

The more than ten minutes of absorption had given him ample time to adapt to this change.

Although the increase this time was substantial, he was still able to perfectly control the power now contained within his body.

He then checked the specific attributes of his enhancement.

Two million points of soul power—half of it was used to strengthen his soul, while the remaining one million was dedicated to refining his body.

Compared to the ten thousand soul power used to improve his body last time, this time the amount was increased tenfold, and the resulting boost was quite impressive.

When compared to his state before the enhancement, his vitality had increased by a full 200%, his energy had risen by 280%!

In addition, the basic effects of his four core attributes had been boosted by approximately 100%, and his recovery ability had increased by 150%. As for his perception abilities, they had risen by 80%. Finally, his lifespan had been extended by about 500 years!

This was the total gain from one million soul power. While the numerical increases might not seem overwhelmingly dramatic, the reality was that Sterl’s physical strength had become astonishingly powerful!

The fact that such a terrifying improvement had occurred was beyond his expectations. After all, the blessing power accumulated from the thirty layers of Hell earlier had only increased his vitality by 30%.

Yet now, after this latest enhancement, his vitality had surged by 200%!

However, the increases in vitality, energy, and recovery ability were all just improvements to his survival capabilities. The true value of this enhancement lay in the base attribute effects, which had been doubled by 100%!

This kind of boost was like doubling all of his attributes at once!

"No wonder I feel so full of power," Sterl mused, "and with the added power boost from Hell, even though I’m no longer in that soul-powered state, my vitality and recovery should still be close to where they were."

He sighed in amazement and then paused for a moment, as if sensing something. He turned his attention to his right hand.

The armguard and clothing on his right arm quickly dispersed, revealing the pale yet tough skin beneath.

At that moment, mysterious markings, resembling runes, began to appear faintly on his forearm. This discovery caused his spirit to stir, and he immediately recalled the mysterious symbols that had appeared all over his body during the soul-powered state. It seemed they were exactly the same as these runes!

"Perhaps my body is undergoing some kind of transformation. When these markings spread across my entire body, that should be when the transformation is complete."

As this thought crossed his mind, Sterl couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. After all, the power of these markings was such that even the mysterious gray energy couldn’t penetrate them, which meant their energy level had to be extraordinarily high!

Moreover, these markings seemed to grow naturally, like an inherent mark, without requiring any additional expenditure of his own energy.

The massive increase in his physical strength made Sterl feel incredibly confident. No matter how powerful these mysterious invaders were, it didn’t matter. Let them first try to keep up with his growth!

In addition to the transformation of his body, his soul had also ascended to a new, more powerful level.

With a slight focus, his soul perception suddenly expanded. His awareness spread out like an enormous net, rapidly covering this layer of Hell.

Instantly, everything within his perception, whether it was above or below, or in some special forbidden places, all of it appeared in his mind.

Even the barriers of Hell, which had previously required the aid of soul power to break through, he could now overcome without any help.

When he fully activated his perception, he was able to see the situation on the 80th layer of Hell. Though it wasn’t as powerful as when his soul was enhanced, he could still perceive much more than before.

Then he glanced at his current soul level, and was astonished to see that it had jumped from level 75 all the way up to level 82! He had gained a staggering 7 levels! He had directly surpassed the 80-level threshold!

"Only 7 levels left…"

He was now incredibly close to the 99th level of soul power needed for a cheat upgrade. As for the 3,000 Fortune points, those would be easy for him to obtain, especially since he had already mastered so much of the Authority of Hell. With a little focus, gathering 3,000 Fortune points would be a breeze.

Moreover, after reaching level 80, his soul underwent another transformation. His soul’s intensity had become even more terrifying. Although only 7 levels had been gained, the strength of his soul had increased by at least one or two times compared to before. The overall size of his soul had grown significantly as well.

On top of that, Sterl’s soul had developed a special new ability—an ability akin to the soul-shattering power previously released by the maternal entities he had encountered!

In other words, his soul could now begin to affect the physical world itself!
