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

As much as he wished otherwise, Eterna did not want Diana to be involved in such an extremely dangerous battle.

After all, Hades had already fallen in battle for the Orichalcum Kingdom. To let Diana meet the same fate would be too cruel—it wasn’t the way the Orichalcum Kingdom treated its heroes.

Yet, to his surprise, only a day after, Diana woke up. Upon hearing the news of Hades’ death on the battlefield, one could imagine the pain and fury she felt. Without heeding anyone’s objections, she resolutely joined the battle, becoming a killing god consumed by hatred.

But this was a divine battlefield, where anger had no effect. Even gods could fall, and the probability of that happening was not low. On a divine-level battlefield, former gods were no more than ants.

Even he, just moments ago, had nearly been assassinated. Here, only absolute strength could pave the way forward.

Looking at Diana, Eterna couldn’t help but sigh. He truly didn’t want to see this outcome, but Diana, as a god, had a will that was beyond his ability to manipulate.

Taking a deep breath, Eterna’s Divine Power had recovered slightly, and he activated his strength to stay by Diana’s side.

What he could do now was protect her as much as possible. If something were to happen to Diana, he would never be able to face Hades again, not even in death.

"You... It’s because of you..."

Diana, holding a divine bow, her beautiful eyes flashing with cold killing intent, glared fiercely at the surrounding gods.

Though her heart burned with rage, after battling for so long, her Divine Power was nearly depleted. However, her fear had dissipated the moment she had learned of Hades’ fall. Now, her only thought was to kill all these damned scum and avenge Hades!

Thinking of this, a sharp pain pierced her heart once more, as though her very soul was being sliced by a blade. Hades’ face and voice hadn’t faded since his death—in fact, they had only grown clearer, making her heartache even more.

"Die, die, die!!"

In that instant, she channeled the full force of Swamp Law and Archery Law, draining the last reserves of Divine Power in her body. She drew the divine bow, gathering all her power to unleash a perfectly crafted shot.

On a divine-level battlefield, Diana—who specialized in archery—was essentially a devastating force, like a powerful artillery.

Each arrow carried the potential to threaten even a god. A single mistake could lead to an arrow piercing through, though it might not kill. Still, they were all gods here, and even the smallest of openings would be amplified infinitely.

For a moment, many of the Ashen Temple gods found themselves scrambling to avoid Diana’s relentless barrage.

"Dammit! Kill that crazy bitch!"

Several gods had barely dodged Diana’s attacks, their hearts filled with intense anger and lingering fear.

They had come so close to being pierced by one of her arrows. Had they been struck, it wouldn’t have been just a heavy wound they would face—it would have been the loss of their very souls. They would have been sent to oblivion, with no chance of resurrection.

This sparked a blazing fury within them. After exchanging a glance, they reached a unanimous decision—take down this lunatic first, and then deal with everything else.

Quickly, the four gods transformed into beams of light, speeding toward Diana with lethal intent.

The powers of four distinct Laws and divine authorities intertwined, forming a massive net that surged toward her like an unrelenting storm.

"Hahahaha! So it’s a female god, huh? Even better! Once we catch you, we’ll make sure you know what true cruelty is!"

"I’ll capture you, and then whip and ravage you day and night!"

"Heh, once we get bored, we’ll throw you into the slave pit, where your divine body will be completely defiled!"

The four gods’ eyes twisted into malicious, grotesque expressions as they ogled Diana’s voluptuous form, coldly contrasted by her calm, flawless face.

Days of battle had worn them down physically and spiritually, weakening their divine essence and making their base human desires and malice surge to the forefront.

Feeling the intense negativity and lust emanating from these four gods, Diana’s gaze momentarily faltered.

Her memory involuntarily drifted back to the first time she met Hades—when she had been surrounded by five gods, facing similar insults and a similar desperate, life-threatening situation.

But unlike that time, there was no Hades stepping in to protect her this time. There was no godlike man to casually destroy her tormentors.

This time, she was alone—utterly alone!

A brief flash of sorrow crossed her eyes, but it quickly hardened into a mask of grim determination. Only resolve and hatred remained on her face.

Her body instinctively screamed at her to flee, but there was no turning back now. Her only thought was to take these Ashen Temple scum down with her, even if it meant her own death.

"Come on, then!!"

She roared, her voice laced with despair and pain, raspy as though coming from a demon garb trapped in eternal sorrow.

Then, with a swift motion, the divine bow in her hands transformed into two exquisitely crafted short bows. From them, dozens of arrows made from the combined power of Swamp Law and Archery Law materialized, ready to be unleashed.

"Die, all of you!"

As her voice echoed, dozens of arrows, each carrying terrifying power, shot toward the four gods before her.

However, as often happens in battle, what was imagined to be a glorious moment ended in brutal reality.

Despite Diana’s overwhelming burst of power, facing the combined might of the four gods proved to be too much. Their united force effortlessly deflected her attacks.

"Presumptuous! To dare resist when death is right in front of you? Fine! I’ll break your limbs first, then slowly ravage you until you die!"

One of the gods, wielding the power of Solid Law and divine authority, sneered darkly. He had borne the brunt of Diana’s attack and sustained considerable injuries. His divine shield was riddled with holes, the damage significant, which only fueled his rage toward her.

"Get away from her! Whoever dares harm her will die!"

From not far off, Eterna’s furious roar pierced the chaos, and he shot forward, enveloped in the combined power of three Laws and divine authorities. He resembled a streak of light as he hurtled toward the four gods.

At his peak, Eterna, with his strength and talents, could have taken on four weak Divine Power gods and won. However, his current condition was far from optimal. His Divine Power reserves were depleted, his body severely injured, and his fighting capacity was barely at forty to fifty percent of its usual strength.

Even facing one weak Divine Power god would be a challenge for him, let alone four.

"You think one person can be a hero and save the day? Are all you Orichalcum scum this delusional?"

The four gods sneered, their combined divine authority coalescing into a destructive force that they sent hurtling toward Eterna.

Eterna shuddered, and though his Divine Power was clearly stronger than theirs, the difference in sheer numbers of Divine Power made their power on a completely different level. Continue your adventure at NovelBin.Côm

When the two forces collided, Eterna managed only a pained scream before being sent flying. His body shield, a defensive divine light, was torn apart, and a gaping wound the size of a bowl appeared in his abdomen.

He fell toward the ground below.

"No!!"

Eterna struggled to right himself, slamming his hand down to crush a demigod who had tried to take advantage of the situation. Looking up at the four gods still targeting Diana, he let out a roar of frustration and despair.

But at this point, the situation had deteriorated further. Over ten more demigods had surrounded him, trying to capitalize on the opportunity to kill this weakened god, leaving him with no chance to save Diana, let alone even protect himself.

For a moment, Eterna’s mind was in chaos, his thoughts spiraling as he remembered Hades enduring an upper-tier divine authority strike for the sake of Orichalcum. The guilt in his heart grew stronger with each passing moment.

"Get away from me! All of you, get away!"

He lashed out at the surrounding demigods, but they knew he was running on empty, and they avoided any direct confrontation. Every time he tried to rise and support Diana, they would gather their strength and forcefully knock him back down.

At this rate, without slaying these demigods, Eterna had no hope of reaching Diana to assist her. His current state was too dire; he wasn’t even sure if he could survive the demigods’ relentless attacks. Even if he managed to escape, he was powerless to help her.

And without any help, Diana would be left to face the four gods alone, each one as vicious as a wolf, ready to tear her apart.

"This time, no one will be able to save you..."

The four gods sneered, their faces twisted with bloodlust. After dispatching the arrows launched at them, they quickly closed in on Diana, surrounding her, eyes gleaming as they ogled her beautiful form, each of them salivating with anticipation.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I’ve never had the chance to play with a goddess. This time, I’ll take my time and enjoy it!"

"Just surrender, sweet thing."

Without wasting any more words, they advanced, knowing the divine battlefield left little room for delay. If they didn’t deal with Diana quickly, Orichalcum’s gods might find a way to retaliate, and it would be them who found themselves surrounded.

As the four gods closed in, their combined powers bearing down on her, Diana’s face softened for a brief moment, a faint sense of relief washing over her. It was as if she had been waiting for this moment.

When she had learned of Hades’ fall, she had already resigned herself to death, and now, she could no longer hold on.

"Hades... wait for me. I’ll join you soon."

A small, bittersweet smile crossed her lips, and in that moment, she could almost see the face of the man who had claimed her heart completely.

Then, her divine bow began to burn with a fiery intensity, and a terrifyingly dangerous aura rose from her, surrounding her like an ominous cloud.

"This is bad! That crazy woman is planning to self-destruct!"

"Damn it, stop her!"

"Fine, fine, if that’s what you want, then die!"
