Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener-Chapter 840: In the Name of War! Invincible in Battle!

On the vast battlefield, the Radiant Warrior, clad in silver armor and fully reverted to his original form, wielded his greatsword and plunged it forcefully into Sterl's chest.

In that moment, time itself seemed to freeze. Every pair of eyes on the battlefield turned toward Sterl, filled with disbelief and shock.

"Impressive power," Sterl mused, gazing steadily at the Radiant Warrior before him, completely ignoring the long sword thrust into his chest. "This strike, even an ordinary powerful divine being would struggle to withstand."

Thanks to the extensive refinement and enhancement from high-level soul power, while his Sublimation of Power brought the greatest increase in strength, his physical attributes, including defense, had been boosted multiple times over.

To be clear, Sterl's innate strength and defense were already formidable. With the activation of the Star-Bone Body, his defense was further amplified. Additionally, Sterl had also activated the Stellar Barrier of his Starry Battle Armor and the invincible power of the Golden Code.

Although these two invincible abilities would be rendered essentially useless against an opponent of this level, they still provided substantial defensive strength.

The Radiant Warrior's full-strength strike, after piercing through the two invincible barriers, lost more than half its power. Then, it was further weakened by the aura field, telekinetic field, and the triple defense of the Starry Battle Armor. The actual damage that reached his body was limited.

If the armor were removed, and the injury to his chest were examined closely, it would be clear that the sharp sword tip had merely pierced his skin. It was then firmly stopped by his muscles, unable to go any deeper.

"Such a pity..."

"If the power of this strike had been doubled, it might have seriously wounded me. If it had been increased tenfold, it might have even had the potential to kill me in an instant."

A faint smile appeared on Sterl's face as he suddenly reached out, grabbing the silver greatsword. With a sharp twist of his fingers, he applied tremendous force.

Bang!!

The crisp sound echoed as the weapon, crafted by countless Grandmaster-level artisans, shattered into thousands of fragments, scattering like glass across the battlefield.

Then, his right hand, which had crushed the greatsword, opened slightly. He threw a mighty punch toward the Radiant Warrior standing before him.

As he threw the punch, the surrounding space shattered like glass, sending countless tiny fragments of space flying in every direction.

In response to this punch, the Radiant Warrior's eyes, once hollow and black, now turned a deep crimson—a special state that only activated in the face of a mortal threat.

In this state, the Radiant Warrior's power would be fully unlocked, with his strength skyrocketing to about twice that of his normal state. However, once activated, this form could not be stopped and carried the risk of losing control.

Moreover, this state could only last for five minutes. After that, the body would collapse and perish, with no chance of recovery.

Despite the overwhelming power of the Radiant Warrior in his ultimate destruction form, facing Sterl's punch, he still felt small in comparison.

However, the Radiant Warrior felt no fear. He too threw a punch, channeling his most powerful strength, a direct collision that represented the Dream Spirit Empire's strongest trump card.

In that moment, no sound emerged. The point where their fists met seemed to form a Black Hole, pulling in all sound. Even the shockwaves and energy from the collision were absorbed, leaving nothing behind. Not even light could escape the immense gravitational pull.

To those watching, the center of the battlefield suddenly appeared as a Black Hole with a five-meter diameter, lingering on the ground, not exploding, nor releasing the destructive force typical of a Black Hole.

Time seemed to blur at that moment, as if it had lasted for ages or just an instant. Then, the Black Hole vanished.

On the ground, Sterl and the Radiant Warrior remained frozen in their punch-throwing poses.

Sterl, however, maintained his calm expression and slowly withdrew his fist, while the Radiant Warrior remained in the same position, like a statue.

Soon after, a wisp of black smoke drifted from the Radiant Warrior's fist. The black smoke rapidly spread, enveloping the entire Radiant Warrior. His body structure seemed to be forcibly torn apart as it disintegrated into dust, vanishing into thin air.

At the center of the battlefield, only one figure remained—War Demon, the newly crowned Nightmare Overlord, Sterl!

"Did... did we win?"

All the Nightmare powerhouses stared wide-eyed, their minds stunned as if struck by a thunderclap, their thoughts completely frozen, unable to move.

Wood, still struggling to rise, looked at the disintegrated Radiant Warrior in disbelief. He suddenly felt that perhaps lying down again would be the better option.

The Marshals, who had hurriedly come with their forces, stood dumbfounded, a surreal feeling rising from their hearts as if they were witnessing an illusion.

What the hell... is this really our commander!?

Had they known their new leader was this powerful, they wouldn't have worried at all. They'd made themselves look like fools.

But after the confusion and shock, an unprecedented wave of excitement and hope surged in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, invincible in divine might! Unmatched throughout the ages!"

"Your Majesty, invincible in divine might! Unmatched throughout the ages!!"

"The glory of war will blanket the world!!"

It was unclear who started it, but the surviving Nightmare powerhouses, one after another, knelt before Sterl.

Whether they were leaders, lords, or one of the ten Marshals, all of them looked at him with a fanatic expression.

Even the heavily injured Wood and Rein struggled to kneel, their hearts storming with emotions they could barely contain.

Sterl calmly observed the Nightmare powerhouses kneeling at his feet, then turned his gaze toward the direction where Monroe's forces lay, a mysterious smile curling on his face.

In the next moment, Sword of the World coalesced in his hand. A terrifying, indescribable pressure, like the wrath of the heavens, swept out in all directions!

As the power was released without any concealment, countless phenomena appeared in the sky.

Dark clouds gathered, and within those clouds, thunder rumbled and charged, while powerful figures appeared, writhing in agony.

A closer look would reveal a chilling truth: the figures writhing in pain were all former powerful foes Sterl had defeated.

These once-great geniuses and warriors were now reduced to mere stepping stones for Sterl, forming his own personal backdrop.

Sterl walked forward, step by step. Behind him, the excited and fervent Nightmare powerhouses followed, as if they were a Scourge Legion set on devouring all life and destroying the world.

"I am war, and invincible in battle!!"

Sterl's feet suddenly stomped the ground, his body transforming into a swift blur. His hands raised the Sword of the World high, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the heavily armored soldiers, surrounded by layers of defenses. With one swing, he cleaved downward.

Boom!!

The sword energy swept across. Even though Sterl's terrifying primal strength had been self-sealed, just this fraction of his power, combined with his master-level swordsmanship, unleashed a force akin to a natural disaster.

In an instant, the heavily armored soldiers in front of him were sliced apart as easily as butter meeting a hot knife.

Thousands upon thousands of divine-ranked warriors fell on the spot, while tens of thousands of soldiers were caught in the sword's shockwave, severely wounded. The formation of the entire legion was shattered by a single strike!

"Kill! Annihilate the scum of the Dream Spirit Empire!"

"The glory of war is protecting us!"

"Hahaha! The battle has only just begun, bring it on!"

Behind Sterl, the emotions of the Nightmare powerhouses were completely ignited by the force of that single strike.

With less than three thousand Nightmare powerhouses remaining, they immediately seized the opportunity created by the chaos in the enemy's formation, charging in like vicious beasts, beginning their slaughter without mercy!

In an instant, even the Heavy Armor Legion, which was considered the elite of the Radiant Legion, was being torn apart. They were unable to respond effectively and seemed lost in the frenzy, completely unable to hold their ground.

In the rear, Radiant Marshal Monroe coldly watched everything unfold. The shock in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by an unsettling calm and composure.

He never expected that, facing the Radiant Warrior, the War Demon would display such terrifying combat power.

This earth-shattering strength far surpassed what had been shown before. It was a level of power completely beyond anything he had anticipated!

Even the Radiant Warriors, now returned to their true forms, had been utterly defeated! In that moment, he even felt a sense of insignificance.

However, as the commander of the legion, no matter how powerful the enemy was, he had no choice but to give everything to crush him! Suppress him! Destroy him!

Undoubtedly, this would be the most difficult battle he had ever fought, but it was one that he must win!

With secret rune resonance activated, Monroe immediately began mobilizing the Heavy Armor Legion and Radiant Heavy Cavalry Legion, coordinating their efforts to combat the frenzied Nightmare powerhouses.

As for the officers and strong warriors in the legion, they had only one goal: the head of the War Demon. Only by killing the War Demon could they truly end this battle.

Monroe was confident that, no matter how powerful the War Demon was, killing the Radiant Warrior in an instant must have come at a great cost. This moment was the best opportunity to assassinate the War Demon!

Under his strong command, the chaotic army quickly regained order. With the help of secret rune resonance and their numerical advantage, they began to stabilize the tide of defeat.

Around Sterl, powerful beings with varying auras started to appear, launching fierce attacks on him.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Wood instinctively shouted as he saw a strong figure, only slightly weaker than a Marshal, burning its life force to charge at Sterl. Worry appeared in his eyes as he prepared to rush forward and protect him.

But in the next second, he saw the Dream Spirit Empire warrior struck down with a single sword, turned into nothing more than a pile of shredded meat…

"This… uh…"
