Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener Chapter 197: The Perfect Legend, Greg Millhauser

At this mont, in the central area where nurous players had gathered...

The aura around Greg Millhauser grew increasingly powerful. Surrounding him were three golden spheres, symbolic of his skills, continuously lting and refining. The abstract force known as [legend points] manifested as colorful, radiant bands of light, transforming into flas that lted the skill-symbolizing spheres.

These eventually turned into dazzling golden droplets, which flowed towards the pinnacle above Greg Millhauser.

Inside him, the authority heart had fully taken shape and was rging with the golden droplets from above.

The peculiar airflow, representing Greg Millhauser's innate talent, intertwined and fused the authority heart with the golden liquid skills.

This was the exact form of the foundational and legendary path of a legend being forged!

Many players on the sidelines couldn't help but feel admiration as they watched this scene unfold.

"Advancing to legend status in one go?"

"Even though we knew Greg Millhauser had already completed other parts of the advancent ceremony, gathering enough legendary essence to transform imdiately—impressive!"

"And... all three of those golden skills are worth 20 legend points each. Is a perfect legend about to descend?"

...

People whispered among themselves. Initially, many were uneasy because advancing to legend status was never a guaranteed success.

The transformation into a legend involved connecting with the heavens and the earth, and many failed this step due to insufficient Divine Power, often resulting in catastrophic failure or even death.

No matter how gifted one was, advancing to legend status was fraught with mortal peril!

After absorbing enough legend points, Greg Millhauser advanced towards legend status effortlessly, encountering no obstacles!

Even those who were previously skeptical had to admit—this person was truly extraordinary! No wonder he was set as the benchmark for boss-level strength in this extre trial!

Moreover, Greg Millhauser was a perfect legend! His combat power far exceeded that of ordinary beings at the sa level!

The players finally relaxed a bit, their actions to channel energy into the shield beca more resolute.

Once Greg Millhauser broke through, the probability of killing the boss would be imnsely high, and they would be saved!

Additionally, many had been forcibly dragged into this extre trial. Those who should have died could be resurrected by passing the trial. Although those dragged in through family contracts might seem at a loss on the surface—

Upon completing the trial, everyone would receive exceptionally generous rewards from the Hall of Valor!

The rewards from ordinary trials were said to be extrely enticing, significantly boosting many players' combat capabilities.

Then, wouldn't the rewards from the extre trial be even more...

Thump, thump, thump!

Thump, thump, thump!

Just as countless players were cheerfully contemplating their prospects, the environnt around them suddenly changed drastically.

The Devourer of All Things had a body akin to a black hole.

Initially, it couldn't do much against the Flowing Water barrier shield. This particular shield had the advantage of enhancing its defensive capabilities through the flow of water waves, where the generated energy was consud within the barrier itself.

As a result, the Devourer of All Things could hardly devour anything.

Moreover, because it couldn't devour much, the Devourer of All Things remained in a state of inertia, with its attack frequency not being very high either.

This created a positive feedback loop.

The slower the BOSS attacked, the lower its energy absorption efficiency, preventing it from entering a berserk state and further slowing down its attacks.

However, this peaceful scene only lasted for a short while.

Quantitative changes eventually led to qualitative changes. Although the Devourer of All Things only absorbed a minuscule amount of energy each ti, the cumulative effect caused its hamr strikes to grow increasingly powerful. Eventually, it reached a critical point.

The boss's form suddenly surged and transford, its aura skyrocketing, and it delivered a ferocious hamr blow to the shield.

Although this strike still couldn't break through the Flowing Water barrier, it caused the shield to tremble violently and release a massive amount of energy.

In an instant, all the players' expressions changed.

They knew—

This was bad!

Sure enough, the vast energy that spilled out was instantly devoured by the Devourer of All Things. The boss's body then twisted rapidly, and its berserk state, fueled by the influx of energy, was activated!

The Devourer of All Things seed to have tasted so kind of sweetness, raising both hands above its head and hamring down repeatedly!

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

...

Each of its attacks was stronger than the last!

The impact force grew increasingly fierce!

Although the Flowing Water barrier, bolstered by the many highly talented players, was performing exceptionally well, it was still far from being breached.

But the speed at which the Devourer of All Things was gaining montum was overwhelming!

On one side was the weakening barrier, and on the other, the strengthening boss. With this contrast, it wasn't long before the players supporting the barrier turned pale and spat blood, their energy nearly exhausted.

They watched the Devourer of All Things in utter despair. The energy they had expended was now entirely being refined by this boss!

"What kind of monster is this?"

"If it were a normal boss, we would have easily taken it down by now."

"Does [Transcendence] really have bosses like this? Or did the Hall of Valor create this specifically to tornt us??"

The players discussed among themselves, their expressions extrely grim.

These were all individuals with S-level talents and higher professions—each had encountered bosses with particularly annoying chanics, but a cheat-like entity such as the Devourer of All Things was one of a kind!

If their output couldn't completely break its defense, all their attacks would be absorbed and refined by it!

However, the players didn't realize that even if soone like Sterl succeeded in breaking through the multicolored shield, the boss's life force was extraordinarily formidable.

Breaking the defense would only be the beginning!

The players thought—

As long as the perfect legend descended, they could turn the tide!

They couldn't help but shout out.

"Hold on, everyone! If you don't want to die, you have to wait for Mr. Greg Millhauser to break through!"

"Everyone, get ready to step up!"

"Assassin classes go first. Tanks and warriors will just get one-shotted by this boss!"

Despite being in a desperate situation where the shield—once broken—would lead to a swift team wipe, the players still displayed high discipline, making the most accurate decisions.

Countless eyes turned towards the direction where Greg Millhauser stood.

At this mont, the dazzling foundational and legendary path around the elderly man had already solidified, continually rging with him.

He was steadfastly taking one step after another towards the realm of legends.

Perhaps it would only take a few minutes, or maybe just a few seconds, for him to complete this ultimate breakthrough. However, the players' faces were all grim—they didn't know if they would live to see Greg Millhauser's breakthrough.

Boom!!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering crack, dozens of players spat blood and fell to their knees, suffering severe backlash.

The remaining players were also pale-faced!

Because the previously unyielding Flowing Water barrier, after enduring the sustained assault from the Devourer of All Things, shattered with a thunderous crash!

Countless erald-green water droplets scattered into the air!

But what terrified the players even more was that these water droplets, initially a normal effect of the barrier breaking, were also devoured by the Devourer of All Things!

Subsequently, the boss's body grew even larger, and its aura intensified!

"If such a monster appeared in the main world, it could probably bring about cataclysmic destruction!"

Soone murmured, staring at the nacing beast.

If the Devourer of All Things had this much of an advantage against them, it would be nearly unstoppable if it descended upon the main world, leaving few capable of hindering its devouring rampage!

At this mont, every player present felt a deep chill.

Like Sterl, the players arrived at a chilling conclusion.

If the Devourer of All Things were to descend upon the main world, it would spell a colossal catastrophe! No one would be spared, no one could escape, and even the gods themselves would not be exempt from the fate of falling. This fear and warning seed to be precisely the ssage that the Hall of Valor intended to convey!

However, as the players gazed at the shattered barrier, their ntal states crumbled.

The Devourer of All Things did not cease its actions for a mont!

Seeing the barrier break and the nurous "delicious snacks" revealed, each brimming with a considerable amount of energy, the BOSS eagerly lunged forward!!

Boom!!

The Devourer of All Things' body plumted from the sky like an arrow released from a bowstring, devouring the remaining soil and rock layers of the islands that had been protected by the barrier.

In this initial wave of impact, all the players easily evaded with their movent abilities.

But in the next mont...

A strange light wave rippled out.

It was Preying on Light Waves!

Seeing their movent abilities about to be sealed, many players had already preemptively activated skills to either evade or use invincibility and phasing states to dodge the light wave.

Yet, many were still struck by Preying on Light Waves, their bodies weighed down, and they were afflicted with DEBUFFs.

The Devourer of All Things slowly stood up, preparing to continue its assault on the players' formation.

Fortunately, their psychological resilience and tactical acun were exceptional. Even in the dire situation where the barrier was broken and significant casualties were inevitable, the players remained composed in handling the scenario.

Several high-agility assassin-class players unhesitatingly dashed forward to divert the Devourer of All Things' attention, while other players from the rear unleashed a barrage of skills.

Although the unpiercing skills were absorbed by the Devourer of All Things, the players were not randomly throwing out abilities. They were using low-damage but highly impactful moves.

They forcibly pushed back the Devourer of All Things with sheer impact, driving it several steps back!

This maneuver bought the assassin-class players valuable breathing room. Initially, the Devourer of All Things had been distracted by these agile players, frantically chasing them.

But as the BOSS was pushed back, its offensive montum dissipated.

However...

Before the players could celebrate this initial tactical success, the Devourer of All Things crouched down without hesitation, transforming into the leopard form it had used before.

Whoosh~

It tensed its "limbs" slightly.
