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

Now, seeing "Nathan" on the verge of defeat, the players felt vindicated in their choice and no longer felt uneasy.

The NPCs of the Divine Mountain Empire finally allowed themselves to feel excitement and began to cheer.

"Long live His Majesty, slayer of enemies!"

"Long live His Majesty, slayer of enemies!"

"Long live His Majesty, slayer of enemies!"

...

First, the soldiers cheered, then the common folk joined in, and finally, the officials and nobles also started shouting!

Everyone was extremely excited!

It appeared as if the empire\'s crisis had been resolved!

Moreover, their only sun, the great Emperor Octavius, had advanced in power! He had easily suppressed the mysterious powerhouse who had previously instilled fear in countless soldiers.

Hearing the cheers of his numerous subjects, Octavius\'s aura grew even stronger. He activated his legendary ability—

[Blood Conversion]

Sterl had already seen the effects of this ability through Star Insight. After Octavius\'s authority heart had upgraded to SS level, this legendary ability had also received a significant boost.

But Sterl was surprised to find that the description of this legendary ability had hardly changed!

It still read—

Octavius can consume the blood energy of himself, his enemies, or anything nearby to enhance all his skills. The more blood energy consumed, the stronger the enhancement effect.

At first glance, this ability seemed simple and crude, even similar to the purple-quality skill [Stardust] that Sterl possessed.

But a simple mechanism also meant that the numerical values of this legendary ability would be terrifyingly high!

However, Sterl remained calm. The effectiveness of a legendary ability was tied to the player\'s talent. After refining his descendants, Octavius\'s only drawback was his still C-level talent.

Octavius had no knowledge of Sterl\'s thoughts.

At this moment, Octavius struck again with full force, confident that his previous move was merely a probe. Now was his true full-force explosion!

In an instant, the terrifying blood energy surged, appearing like a crimson current in the eyes of countless NPCs and players present!

The blood-red stream immediately engulfed "Nathan" completely!

Octavius then activated his third max-legendary-level golden-quality skill, [Blood Planet]. Instantly, the surging waves fully enveloped Sterl\'s figure.

Countless waves condensed into substantial blades and axes, crashing inward!

Ultimately, the waves formed into a spherical construct, trapping Sterl inside.

At this moment, astonished exclamations erupted from both NPCs and players.

"This move! How terrifying!"

"A wide-area attack that can also convert into single-target damage, impressive!"

Even Felicia couldn\'t help but praise.

Faye then asked seriously, "Ancestor, has the outcome been decided?"

"...I don\'t think so. Someone with Law Power wouldn\'t be easily defeated by a mere golden-quality skill."

As the two discussed, there was indeed a change in the blood-red sphere in the sky!

The seemingly pristine, indestructible construct began to make cracking sounds, with fissures appearing across its surface.

Finally, it shattered with a resounding crash!

"Nathan." gasping for breath, emerged.

Sterl frowned. The earlier move had caused him considerable trouble. As expected, the evolved legendary skill was no joke!

After being trapped, he discovered that Shadow Stealth couldn\'t help him escape as the surrounding space was completely locked.

He had no choice but to use the power of Flowing Water Law to forcibly cleave through the blood-red sphere.

And since his attacks were only against Octavius\'s construct, he couldn\'t drain any blood, significantly lowering his condition. Luckily, Sterl\'s life force reservoir quickly began to restore him.

His injuries started to heal...

Sterl looked at his opponent. Octavius, completely unharmed, stood there confidently, as if he had the situation under complete control.

"Damn, he likes to show off more than I do." Sterl couldn\'t help but curse under his breath.

This emperor was constantly maintaining his persona and image.

Octavius had pursued Sterl earlier, knowing he could still escape.

So, the emperor decisively stood still, portraying a relaxed and effortless demeanor.

Anyone else might have let it go, but as a fellow show-off, Sterl immediately recognized Octavius\'s intention.

So, it was really irritating.

Especially hearing the countless citizens below passionately shouting,

"Even a powerful enemy from another nation is no match for our emperor!"

"Indeed, our great emperor can sweep away all obstacles!"

...

Sterl was frustrated. Octavius had indeed managed to show off successfully.

He also felt a bit of a headache. Sterl had already figured out a strategy to defeat Octavius.

Though Octavius was strong, he still had no real resistance against Law Power. The Flowing Water Law could easily pierce through Octavius\'s skills and shred his defenses.

But Sterl couldn\'t take down the emperor in a single burst because of Octavius\'s exceptional perception abilities. Even if Sterl attacked Octavius\'s insides directly, the emperor could quickly react and escape.

Previously, Sterl had succeeded in his sneak attack only by first throwing out the Flowing Water Law blades to draw attention.

It was clear that Sterl needed a control skill! But an average control skill could be easily shrugged off by Octavius, given that his current strength made him one of the top-tier legends.

Fortunately, Sterl had one more trick up his sleeve: his ultimate move—the perfect-level [Moon Law]. This could directly slow Octavius to the point where he couldn\'t move at all.

However, Sterl was reluctant to reveal that he possessed Moon Law, as it would link "Nathan" to "Constantine."

And both of these identities had performed actions that defied common sense.

If it were just Constantine, it would be manageable. The "Divine Flame Drive" disguise could confuse people.

But if Nathan were connected to Constantine, it might lead some to suspect that both identities were fake.

Moreover, Constantine had already shown his face in front of the Dark Moon Goddess, and Sterl couldn\'t risk exposing himself...

"I\'ll just wait for Octavius to give me an opening."

Sterl pondered. The emperor\'s moves were grand and flashy, potentially providing cover for Sterl\'s actions.

In close combat, Sterl could use his perfect-level Law Power to create a small moon domain, slowing Octavius down and then using Flowing Water Law to finish him off.

But this opportunity... he had to wait for it!

Sterl decided that if the chance didn\'t come, he would go all out.

Even if it meant abandoning the Constantine identity and never using Divine Flame Drive again...

The following period was quite frustrating for Sterl.

Initially, the cheers from the NPCs of the Divine Mountain Empire and the players weren\'t particularly loud—

After all, they doubted whether Octavius could win. But as the battlefield scenes changed, both players and NPCs grew confident!

The blood-red sphere had trapped the foreign powerhouse, causing him to escape in a highly embarrassing manner.

Octavius then easily launched several moves to suppress his opponent.

First, he unleashed a terrifying bloodstorm, leaving Nathan in a miserable state. Nathan\'s counterattacks were barely effective, with Octavius dodging most of them.

Many onlookers noticed that when Nathan\'s moves didn\'t fully hit, his injuries healed very slowly, indicating that Nathan had a [life-stealing] ability.

So many people shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, don\'t let him hit you!"

"Attack from a distance and wear him down!"

...

Hearing this made Sterl feel a tightness in his chest.

Sterl had finally experienced how annoying external factors could be during a battle. Previously, he had always been able to quickly dispatch his opponents.

Then, he was devoured by a blood-formed dragon and had to struggle for a long time before barely escaping.

The situation was increasingly favoring the emperor of the Divine Mountain Empire.

Even Felicia, who was usually quite perceptive, muttered in the alternate dimension, "Where did this kid get his Law Power from? What a waste!"

"Getting beaten up by a legend like this."

The other players were even more direct.

"This guy\'s definitely done for."

"I wonder where he\'s from, which planet or race. Despite not having much strength, he dared to take on a mission against a legendary figure."

"Why don\'t we wait until the old emperor has nearly finished him off, then go up and show our loyalty?"

"Show loyalty? You mean you\'re eyeing that player\'s loot, right??"

The players laughed and chatted, their eyes no longer focused on the battlefield. To them, the outcome was already decided!

Meanwhile, the NPCs of the Divine Mountain Empire continued to watch with great interest as their emperor thrashed the foreign powerhouse. They shouted continuously,

"Good job!"

"Yes! Yes! Your Majesty! Kill him!"

...

They were all red-faced with excitement!

Even the remaining four princes and princesses cheered as they watched, thrilled by their father\'s display of power. The fourth prince clenched his fists, wishing he could join the fight.

In essence, the princes and princesses were no different from the rest of the empire. They, too, were impressed by the old emperor\'s prowess. Their earlier rebelliousness had been merely a means to survive...
