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

Sterl assessed his current state, feeling a sense of relief within himself.

His will was extremely resilient. Even though the pain was so unbearable that it could drive a person to end their life, he was still forcing himself to endure it.

Thanks to the immense regenerative abilities of both his soul and body, he could maintain this state for at least an hour or more.

Based on his previous experience with breaking through his limits, this process wouldn't take nearly as long. So, this time, the breakthrough should be completed with nothing more than some danger.

"This is quite the thrill. With my current strength, I thought I could handle this easily, but the backlash is actually getting stronger with the increase in my power. I almost failed at the most basic level."

His thoughts surged in his mind, attempting to alleviate his pain with such reflections.

Otherwise, if this continued, he could easily lose consciousness from the overwhelming pain, which would cause his soul's defenses to break, and that would be disastrous.

However, just as he was waiting for the breakthrough to end, the scattered soul power throughout his body exploded once again!

This time, all the soul power exploded into dust, losing all its destructive force, but it was still the most terrifying shockwave yet.

Simultaneously, Sterl froze for a moment, a sharp sensation of heart-rending dread surging up within him.

In his soul space, where he was struggling to resist the dual onslaught of the tidal and shock forces, he slowly lifted his head. His eyes went blank.

"Goddamn it..."

He muttered to himself, and suddenly, the sky within his soul space brightened. At first glance, a massive meteor was descending, carrying an overwhelming force aimed directly at his soul mountain below!

Sterl was completely stunned. He thought everything was over, but to his shock, there was still one more catastrophic wave to come!

How the hell was he supposed to block that? Even sacrificing his life wouldn't be enough!

For a moment, Sterl stood frozen, his expression dazed, seemingly having given up on resistance.

It wasn't that he had given up; it was that there was nowhere to hide. The meteor was so large that it was even bigger than his soul mountain.

Clearly, this was a strike aimed directly at his life!

As if that wasn't enough, the rate at which his body was dissolving suddenly sped up by several times. Even with the Hellish energy enhancing his recovery abilities to the point of regenerating from a drop of blood, he couldn't keep up with the pace at which his body was being eroded.

"Invincible power, rise up! All forces, come together and empower me!"

After a brief moment of dazed confusion, Sterl's eyes widened, filled with defiance. He let out a roar of unwillingness and activated every last bit of his power, unleashing all of his trump cards.

His gaze locked firmly on the descending meteor, his eyes burning with extreme defiance.

Suddenly, the meteor plummeted, crashing violently into Sterl's soul mountain. At the same time, the dissolution of his body reached its final stages, leaving only his head — a head filled with fury and unyielding determination.

In that instant, everything vanished into thin air. The world fell silent.

The Law barrier that had been formed around him, as if by hundreds of different Laws, remained standing firm on the 79th layer of Hell, just as it had before.

This fierce and terrifying battle had only affected Sterl alone; there had been no external disturbances or ripples.

However, the Will of Hell could vaguely sense something had happened. Just moments ago, it had felt a force so immense that it could have obliterated the very foundations of Hell itself.

But that force had only lasted for a split second before vanishing without a trace, and with it, the presence of that monstrous creature also disappeared.

"What... what just happened?"

The Will of Hell felt both curious and terrified, almost as if it wanted to break through the barrier and investigate the situation inside.

But it had no such courage. Even if it did, the barrier, constructed from the powers of 360 Laws, would be no easy feat to breach. Even the Will of Hell would require an immense cost to even attempt such a feat.

Yet, despite that, there was an unsettling sense of unease within it, as though something it had desperately clung to had suddenly shattered.

"Could it be… Could that monster have… fallen?"

The Will of Hell shuddered, its voice trembling with disbelief.

This was not good news at all. Despite its deep fear and even hatred of Sterl, if he had truly perished, then who would save it? Who would rescue Hell from the deep suffering and turmoil it was undergoing?

But at that moment, the Will of Hell could do nothing but silently pray for Sterl's survival.

Inside the Law barrier, in Sterl's soul space, the intense shockwaves began to settle. The all-encompassing tidal forces slowly faded away, and the residual impact of the meteor dissipated without a trace. Everything returned to stillness.

But within the soul space, the towering and magnificent soul mountain had also disappeared.

At first glance, only scattered fragments of soul remained, lying about like shattered remnants — a truly tragic sight.

By all rights, such a small amount of soul fragment would be beyond recovery. Even the soul of a high-tier divine authority would have long since lost any hope of restoration. The mental consciousness would have dispersed, leaving nothing behind.

However, these soul fragments, as if drawn by some invisible force, slowly began to gather together.

Soon, all the tiny shards had merged into a single mass, and to Sterl's surprise, it began to expand at a visible rate!

At the same time, his previously shattered head, now just a broken remnant, was covered once more by a layer of fresh, pinkish flesh. Muscles, organs, tendons, bones… everything was growing back at a rapid pace!

Before long, a body identical to the one that had been destroyed stood tall upon the earth once more. In his soul space, the mountain that had been flattened by the meteor also rose back to its former majestic height!

"I told you… nothing can kill me…"

Sterl's eyes slowly opened, and a serene light flickered within them. He muttered to himself, like a Doombringer Demon God crawling back from the depths of the deathly abyss!

The soul power light points, after their final explosion, immediately began to merge into Sterl's body and soul. They continuously refined and transformed the body that had just been shattered and reshaped.

Sterl quietly felt this process. His soul hadn't grown, and his body hadn't grown stronger—yet he knew that he had successfully endured the backlash of this extreme breakthrough.

Now, all he had to do was wait and reap the rewards.

"Just a little more, just a little more, and it would've all been over…"

He took a deep breath. In that fleeting moment, he truly thought he was finished. But fortunately, the body and soul he had invested so many resources into didn't let him down. Even when they were on the brink of total destruction, they had slowly healed him back to life.

If it weren't for his incredibly powerful recovery ability, he might have truly fallen this time.

But in the end, he pulled through. Whatever couldn't kill him only made him stronger.

Soon, all the high-level soul power fully integrated into his body.

Then, a mysterious, alternating flow of hot and cold energy surged into his mind at an incredible speed, penetrating deep into his soul and quickly spreading throughout his body.

Sterl focused all his attention on this sensation. Even though he had gathered all his senses, as before, he couldn't feel anything specific.

But what he could sense was that his body was undergoing a monumental transformation!

"Is the new talent awakened from this extreme breakthrough related to my body?"

Sterl couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. He had originally thought that it would be something like Soul Prison's Eerie Eyes—a special talent. But now, it seemed like it wasn't going to be that simple.

"I wonder if it's related to the soul as well…"

He silently speculated, feeling that this possibility was highly likely. After all, these high-level soul powers were still soul energy, and it made sense for the newly born talent to focus on the soul aspect.

Moreover, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing. The power of Soul Prison's Eerie Eyes had already brought him an enormous surprise, so he believed this new talent would be just as impressive.

After all, soul-related talents were even rarer and more precious, and their abilities were often difficult to defend against—very powerful indeed.

However, what exactly it was would only become clear once this transformation was fully completed.

Sterl waited for more than ten minutes, and the alternating sensation of hot and cold slowly began to subside.

[You have been invaded by an unknown high-level force, causing both your soul and body to undergo extreme changes, creating a special resonance during the transformation!

You have awakened a new talent!]

A long-awaited notification sounded in Sterl's ears, causing his spirits to rise.

At the same time, he could feel that his body seemed to harbor some terrifying power—once activated, its might would exceed even his imagination!

Not only that, but when Sterl slowly extended his hand, he saw the mysterious markings that had only covered his arm now extending to his chest. The markings were even more complex, intricate, and prominent than before.

Upon seeing this, Sterl paused in surprise, vaguely sensing something. Perhaps, this time, the power wasn't related to the soul at all!

He immediately examined his new talent.
