Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener Chapter 232: Too Funny, Brother!

All the players saw a notification flash before their eyes.

[You have received an invitation to the Free-for-All (Harmony) mode. The stake is the "Leader Position for this mission". The last player standing will automatically beco the leader. Players who are defeated will retain a sliver of life force.]

"Gulp!" Many legendary players swallowed hard.

The three mid-tier legends were also in a state of confusion, feeling that things were slipping out of their control.

Originally, the three of them had planned to say so grandiose words.

Then, they would reasonably challenge Sterl and take over the leader position. They had even agreed that the final leader would take 400 Valor Contribution Points, while the other two would each get 300.

After all, there must be a reason soone could beco the leader; they might be weak, but they could have so background or hidden cards. Starting a direct fight wasn't a good idea.

But now...

Sterl had said everything they wanted to say, making them look like the weaklings unworthy of the leader position.

What... what was going on?

The three mid-tier legends then looked at the notification in front of them.

Free-for-All mode??

At first, the three didn't understand, but seeing the expressions of the surrounding players, they suddenly got it.

Understood!

This player nad "David" was deliberately ssing with them!

He felt his strength was insufficient to retain the leader position, so he stirred the pot, forcing all the players into a Free-for-All. After all, who wouldn't be tempted by those 1,000 Valor Contribution Points?

Previously, the three mid-tier legends could join forces to ensure other players wouldn't compete. But in Free-for-All mode, the original leader "David" would likely be ignored, and their small group would be the first target!

"Good! Good! Good!"

The three mid-tier legends, like the other players present, didn't hesitate to accept the challenge.

At this mont, a pale blue energy field surrounded all the players, enclosing them together.

Those boarding other rainbow ships for different missions saw this and were not surprised.

Very normal!

In the Hall of Valor, even the smallest issues often led to duels to settle the score...

Sterl stood as steady as a mountain.

The other legendary players, who had previously looked down on him for this mission, now showed two different faces.

The three mid-tier legends ford a small group, their expressions darkening: "Is it fun to drag everyone down with you?"

"If that's the case... watch your back on the mission."

"It doesn't matter who you have backing you!"

...

They were angry and made threats, but didn't go too far.

Mainly, they were still worried that David had a significant background. However, in the Hall of Valor, players prided themselves on their genius and arrogance, fearing no one's background. This emboldened them to curse and shout freely.

Other players, on the other hand, showed expressions of gratitude.

"Thanks, brother!"

"You gave us a chance, we owe you one."

"Don't worry, we're all in this mission together; we won't backstab you."

...

Their thoughts were simple: David had helped them get a shot at the leader position, and they felt indebted to him. Of course, the main reason was that they also believed David had so powerful backing...

No, it should be said—

He had a god behind him!

Although the players were arrogant, they felt that David extending an olive branch was a friendly gesture. Naturally, they responded warmly.

Not only were these two factions focused on the situation, but Sterl, who was at the center of the controversy, wasn't even given a proper glance.

A re third-class? What waves could he possibly make? No matter who erged victorious, they could easily deal with him!

As the saying goes, a legend against a third-class is like an adult crushing a child!

Ignoring him was the highest form of contempt!

Seeing this, Sterl imdiately understood that he might as well let the dogs fight it out.

But he had no intention of doing that.

Having been bizarrely one-shotted by that vertical pupil earlier, he was fuming!

Since his debut, Sterl had never been defeated, let alone killed.

Now, doing a simple mission, and a bunch of mid-tier and low-tier legends were trying to push him around.

How could he tolerate that?

At that mont, in the makeshift arena, various legendary abilities were being unleashed.

Until a certain mont.

With a surge of overwhelmingly dominant power, everyone's expressions changed!

"My abilities aren't working!"

"Wait, my talent... how is this possible??"

"Damn! My class traits have stopped??"

...

The players were thrown into chaos; so even coughed up blood from the backlash of energy consumption, clutching their chests and kneeling in pain.

Only a few remained standing, looking slightly bewildered.

It was Sterl who had just activated his golden-quality Silent Domain.

Who would have thought...

The effect was too good, even Sterl hadn't anticipated it!

The golden version of Silent Domain randomly nullified skills, traits, talents, and equipnt. Many, like Sterl, relied on combining various buffs to maximize their output during a fight.

This also caused the Silent Domain to interrupt one of the components, leading to errors in the energy gathering process!

So unlucky souls even found their critical skills interrupted, causing chaotic energy surges within their bodies.

They were directly injured!

"Looks like the Silent Domain works wonders in a pinch," Sterl mused.

And in that split second...

The few players who weren't affected hesitated no longer. It seed that only so insignificant gear skills were silenced for them, leaving their legendary abilities intact!

Initially, they were cautious because the situation was so bizarre and unfamiliar. Their first instinct was self-preservation.

Now, seeing that the dominant and strange energy seed to have no follow-up, those unaffected players decisively made their moves!

However...

Buzz!

Another strange wave surged through.

Imdiately, the few remaining survivors also went down.

Silent Domain periodically sealed skills. Surviving two waves without having critical skills silenced required a bit of luck, and evidently, none of the gathered legends had that kind of luck.

At this point, the only one left standing comfortably was Sterl.

He was in an excellent mood.

No wonder a platinum-tier skill downgraded to gold was still much stronger than most legendary abilities.

Its crowd control capability was explosive!

Sterl took a few slow steps forward. He wasn't in a hurry to defeat these opponents; instead, he wanted to bask in the mont.

Unfortunately, he didn't even get a chance to speak—

"It's... you??"

Soone exclaid.

Sterl's heart leaped with joy. Nice! They're catching on!

But then the legendary player shook his head, "No! Impossible!"

"How could a third-class affect us?"

"Who is it really??"

"Damn, hiding so well."

For a mont, the players looked at each other. They weren't in a hurry anymore because everyone was injured by the backlash, which ant they were all equally impaired.

As for David, a re third-class...

To put it bluntly, even in a severely injured state, a legend could easily deal with a third-class.

Imdiately, Sterl's prepared speech got stuck in his throat.

He had planned to say sothing cool and indifferent.

"Indeed."

Followed by, "Could it be you?"

Exuding an air of absolute power.

But these legends would rather lie on the ground, suspecting each other of being the culprit, than give him a single glance.

Sterl was furious!

The Silent Domain was undoubtedly very useful, reinforcing his determination to quickly obtain the Arcane Law and activate it to its platinum version.

But now...

"These guys are really underestimating !"

"No need to look any further, the one who cast that spell just now was ."

Sterl said coldly, deciding to explain himself. After all, he still had to lead these legendary players on a mission. Showing so strength would make it easier to command them.

He didn't ntion the na of Silent Domain.

The golden version of this skill had weaker effects and lacked the ability to seal traits. It didn't appear to be targeting the Devourer of All Things specifically. As long as he didn't reveal the skill's na, no one would notice Sterl's uniqueness.

As Sterl finished speaking, he was about to continue when the atmosphere turned eerie.

Eventually, soone couldn't hold back and clutched their chest, coughing.

"Cough~ Cough~"

"Cough~ Hahaha!"

They burst out laughing.

"Are you kidding ?"

"A third-class saying he controlled all of us."

"And you still have the nerve to joke? If I were you, I'd jump off the stage and admit defeat to avoid a beating."

"Co on, friend, we're discussing serious matters here. Don't worry, we'll make sure you get through the mission."

So couldn't resist mocking, their expressions genuinely amused.

What infuriated Sterl the most was soone "kindly" advising him to shut up...

At that mont, Sterl realized another advantage of Silent Domain: its activation was so subtle that no one could identify the caster!

Not only did the players doubt a third-class could control so many legendary abilities, but the wave created by Silent Domain seed to erge from thin air.

No one could trace its origin.

This left Sterl in an awkward position...

Snap!

With a darkened face, he snapped his fingers.

Instantly, he vanished!

The legends burst into laughter again.

"Seriously? Did we scare him off?"

"This is too funny... brother!"

"Wait, sothing's not right. If it were an invisibility skill, we should be able to detect it. What's going on?"

...

Most were amused, but a few sensed sothing was off.

One second...

Two seconds...

Ti flew by.

And the legends remained suppressed by Silent Domain, unable to move freely!

It wasn't that they were severely injured, but they feared casting another skill and triggering a backlash. The next batch of unlucky ones would be dood!
