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

Chapter 279: Divine Might Unleashed! Crushing All Before It

What surprised Sterl was that, although the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] had reached a divine level, it lacked any true intelligence. It seemed that operating it would be considerably easier.

Moreover, it appeared to be a mechanical life form. The Blood Sacrifice Array couldn't refine it, but for some reason, the array had successfully selected it. It seemed that the mechanical exterior of the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] was mostly just a shell; inside, it still housed flesh and blood.

At that moment, Rosalie and the other demigods, who were desperately fleeing, suddenly looked up—

They saw a figure that was both familiar and hated.

It was the bastard who had snatched the heads of two bosses consecutively!

The mysterious demigod who seemed to know the secrets of the Heavenly Curtain Canyon!

"You..."

Rosalie and the others narrowed their eyes in intense anger, and then…

They did nothing at all…

They simply ran toward the position behind Sterl.

Faced with a divine-level unit, their priority was to ensure their own survival first.

However, that figure, who incited so much rage among the demigods, was continuously forming incantations. Suddenly, the blood-red light in the sky surged with countless crimson points of light, emerging from all things.

Sterl chose to refine everything; what if some animal or plant was actually a pet of a demigod and could relay messages?

The demigods almost immediately realized that the blood-red dome in the sky was not part of the mechanism of the Heavenly Curtain Canyon, but rather the work of this mysterious demigod.

"Attack! Kill him first!"

Rosalie shouted decisively. They had just sensed the divine aura within this array, which wouldn't be as weak as the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism]. It could likely sustain itself long enough to eliminate all of them.

At that moment, the expressions of the demigods grew resolute.

They finally understood the mysterious demigod's trump card. Relying on a divine-level array could indeed defy the odds; no wonder he had dared to activate the special mechanism of the Heavenly Curtain Canyon.

However…

At this point, Sterl merely sneered. Since it had come to this, he would no longer hold back and unleashed his full power.

He activated—

Silent Domain!

Instantly, the sky went dark.

Then, it brightened once more!

In the span of a second, all the demigods present discovered that their various skills had nearly all gone dark. This made it impossible for them to pursue Sterl, and instead, the malfunctioning of their skills caused backlash, inflicting minor injuries on each of them and forcing them to halt their movements.

And this brief delay filled them with despair— the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] had already closed in, while that mysterious demigod had slipped into another dimension and vanished from sight.

"Damn! What do we do now?"

"What cards do we have left? Let's combine our powers and block this boss's attack together."

"Anyone who wants to die can escape, but think about it—if this divine-level boss goes after the person who tries to flee first, do you really think you'll be able to get away?"

…

Soon, some of the faster-thinking demigods shouted through their Divine Power.

Everyone present understood the urgency of the situation; no one made a wrong decision. They collectively took out various protective items and defensive skills.

Immediately, shields sprang up all around them.

It looked almost comical, like a bunch of mushrooms sprouting up in an open field. At the same time, energy-based protective barriers were layered upon one another, creating a vibrant display akin to the neon lights of a nightclub.

Though each demigod was relatively small in stature, the overlapping energy shields made them occupy a vast area, making them incredibly conspicuous even from high above.

At this moment, the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] arrived. It spun around once on the spot, seemingly gathering speed, while raising its right hand high.

Under the influence of some electromagnetic force, the massive hammer came crashing down at high speed.

This swing seemed ordinary at first, but it was imbued with a certain violent and destructive Divine Power…

In an instant, the power of the hammer surged, and the demigods watched helplessly as the mechanical hammer descended like a cataclysmic force from the primal era, ready to smash the very earth!

No one could even think of dodging; they could only close their eyes and await their fate.

At the same time, the destructive Divine Power made the hammer strike the various protective barriers as easily as a heavy fist smashing into tofu, effortlessly shattering countless life-saving items of the demigods!

This wasn't merely a contest of energy strength; it was a concept of annihilation and destruction!

How are we supposed to fight this?

In an instant, despair filled the hearts of the demigods.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, the ground trembled violently!

The entire surface of the Heavenly Curtain Canyon was depressed by three inches.

With just a single strike!

Due to the lack of Divine Power, the attack range of the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] was quite small.

Though the aftermath was terrifying, it lacked the conceptual destruction and violence associated with Divine Power.

As a result, only four demigods were tragically crushed to death. The rest were unharmed, but their faces were pale.

Since becoming demigods, they hadn't felt the shadow of death and threat like this in a long time.

Whether the demigods could survive depended purely on whether they were within the boss's attack range; their own efforts were utterly meaningless.

After the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] struck, it seemed to have expended a significant amount of energy. Its mechanical gaze scanned around, searching for the lost Heavenly Curtain cores, but unfortunately, it found nothing.

The momentary halt in the boss's actions gave the demigods a chance to catch their breath. They hurriedly scattered in all directions, each wearing an extremely grim expression.

If it were just the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism], they wouldn't care.

Those who had become demigods all possessed some luck and fortune; they firmly believed they would be the last ones standing, reaping the rewards from the boss.

But the problem was that there was also a divine-level array set up by a mysterious demigod. The final victor could not possibly be themselves. Even if they weren't killed by the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism], they couldn't withstand the divine-level array!

Instantly, the demigods fell into utter despair!

At that moment, they also noticed that the blood-red light around them had grown quite intense.

The Blood Sacrifice Array, modified by Sterl, although still prone to destruction and extremely fragile before activation, had improved significantly compared to the original array. Its efficiency had increased by more than a few degrees.

Now, they saw a blood-red array slowly coalescing high in the sky, its colorful light already shining brightly.

"It must be destroyed."

"Otherwise, we'll all die."

Some of them continued to communicate with other players through their Divine Power, while they eagerly watched the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism], hoping that this divine-level boss might take the initiative to destroy the array.

However, the array in the sky only captured the attention of the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] for a brief second. Its orange-yellow mechanical eye scanned the area but found no Heavenly Curtain core, leading it to shift its focus elsewhere, even as it itself was gradually being disassembled by the blood-red light.

At that moment, the demigods felt a wave of panic wash over them!

They clearly sensed that, alongside the surge of the blood-red light, their attributes were starting to weaken.

For now, their combat power had only decreased a bit, but it was easy to infer that, over time, they would continue to be weakened until they were powerless to resist.

However…

There was always a glimmer of hope.

Soon, the demigods were pleasantly surprised to see the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] suddenly change direction and rush toward a certain location, simultaneously releasing a magnetic cage that rapidly constricted in some part of space.

Amid the pale blue rays of light, the mysterious demigod who had slipped into another space appeared, looking pale and troubled.

It was as if he had been forcibly dragged out.

…

"I knew it wouldn't go so smoothly."

Sterl sighed helplessly.

He had originally enhanced the lingering effect of Shadow Stealth with Stardust, intending to stay in the shadow realm for as long as possible.

But instead, he was caught by a locking force that pulled him out.

It directly severed him from the shadow world and yanked him back into the main world.

That seemed to be a form of divine authority, a power that Sterl could not resist at all.

At this moment…

The orange-yellow eye of the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] continued to scan rapidly, but it couldn't see through the Heavenly Curtain core hidden in the small world.

After hesitating for a moment, it charged toward Sterl.

Sterl had the strongest lingering scent of the Heavenly Curtain core on him, so he was undoubtedly its primary target.

The other demigods were overjoyed at this development.

Naturally, they didn't dare to interfere with the battle of a divine-level entity, so they all rushed toward the sky, intending to destroy the array first.

With that massive array in play, they feared that even if the [Heavenly Curtain Mechanism] exhausted its energy, they would still be killed by the divine-level array.

As for that mysterious demigod…

Wasn't he as good as dead?

Taking on a divine-level entity one-on-one?

If he could last two more seconds, that would be impressive!

In the blink of an eye, the demigods reached the edge of the array. They didn't hesitate and immediately unleashed all their most powerful skills.

Several platinum-level skills erupted simultaneously!

Rosalie even threw out a purple crystal pendant, releasing an extremely potent corrosive energy solution that had already transcended demigod-level output!

The skills unleashed by the other demigods gathered together to form a stunning energy storm, a chaotic mix of abilities creating a tumultuous scene.

In this realm, no creation could withstand such a combination. The energy fused from various Law Powers in a frenzy would even injure a deity if hit!

This move…

An unformed divine-level array could never withstand it.

"It worked!"

"Finally, we've bought ourselves some breathing room."

"If we can deal with this array, we might still have a chance!"

The expressions of the demigods improved significantly, and they felt a surge of pride. They were truly incredible!

Faced with a divine-level entity, they had still managed to snatch a glimmer of hope from a divine-level array…

Huh??

The psychological turmoil of the demigods had not yet settled when they were instantly stunned into silence by the scene that appeared before them.
