Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener Chapter 368: Chapter 368: She Seems Like a "Sycophant"

Sterl was left dumbfounded. What on earth was going on?

Could it be that...

He connected this with Flanda's earlier behavior and ca up with a theory—

Could it be that the Succubus Queen has so special detection ability that revealed my uniqueness? Perhaps it's because my human race bloodline from Earth actually contains so secrets? Or maybe she discovered my Earth human heritage and intends to report it to the upper realms.

Or is it possible that after mastering the Solidification thod, absorbing would bring her, a divine-level Succubus, imnse benefits?

Or… simply that my charm is too strong, captivating this goddess?

Sterl's mind was in a state of alert!

There was not an ounce of joy; sothing unusual must have an underlying reason!

The first two speculations both implied extrely terrifying outcos! Either he would et his end, or he would attract the attention of mysterious forces targeting the human race from Earth…

As for the third possibility…

Sterl simply dismissed it in his mind, trying to amuse himself.

Not to ntion a goddess, even so ordinary professionals wouldn't pay a hefty price just for a mber of the opposite sex or for beauty.

Sterl quickly ruled out that possibility.

He pondered, should he just run away?

No matter what conspiracy was at play, if he wasn't there, it wouldn't matter.

Without hesitation, Sterl pressed the button on the Ergency Escape Device.

Before the effects of this item could manifest, Sterl took a mont to enjoy the bizarre expressions that erged as countless people broke free from the enchantnt.

The Supres under the Succubus Queen and the Supres left behind by the Lord of Evil Spirits were the first to react. They began recalling the words that had flashed through their minds, wearing expressions of disbelief.

No way???

What kind of joke is this?

Has the Succubus Queen gone mad? Making such a decision, could it be that this phistopheles is her illegitimate child? But that's impossible; the Succubus race doesn't produce male mbers.

What is going on here??

This was tantamount to handing over her subordinates to phistopheles. Even in Hell, where divine-level demons are notoriously brutal towards their subordinates, such an overt betrayal would be unthinkable!

That would destroy her credibility!

After this, the number of followers willing to follow her would surely decrease significantly.

Countless players and demons were left stunned, many of them trembling and unable to maintain their floating positions, plumting to the ground.

Their faces were filled with sheer terror.

"Your Majesty, have you sold us out??"

"Why? Why is this happening?"

"Did I hear that wrong?"

...

Those who had eagerly anticipated the arrival of the Succubus Queen were now utterly broken.

At this mont, the space was sealed under Divine Power; there was no escape! phistopheles could truly wipe them all out!

Many turned to look at the Succubus Queen, unable to speak or question her; their eyes revealed a desperate hope that perhaps she was joking—that she had so ulterior motive to recruit phistopheles and this was just the way to start things. Maybe she would even ntion later about saving their lives??

However, the Succubus Queen was serious. With a re wave of her hand, countless demons and players from [Swallowing Heaven] were bound and pressed to the ground, unable to mount any defense.

Now, if phistopheles wanted to kill them, he could do so with a re unsheathing of his sword; he didn't even need to use his Platinum Skill.

In an instant, their minds felt like they were on fire! They didn't even know who to beg for rcy.

phistopheles? How could they possibly do that? He was a harbinger of death.

Licitris?

To question a god's decision was a death sentence for mortals!

"Ha~ha"

"Yah~yah"

Under the imnse pressure, these demons and players from [Swallowing Heaven] could hardly speak, only able to emit incoherent sounds.

So were so overwheld with fear that their internal energy surged wildly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

So even self-destructed!

Their deaths were tragic, their flesh and bones completely ignited by their own energy, turning to ash!

The effects of the self-explosion severely injured many of the players and demons around them, who were already suppressed and now had no strength left to resist.

...

The players under the Lord of Evil Spirits were just as bewildered. They accepted the situation a little better because they had anticipated that escape would be difficult from the start.

However, not witnessing phistopheles' downfall left them feeling so regret.

But that didn't an they could accept… that phistopheles had so openly offended a god's authority and yet received such favorable treatnt.

They felt it was utterly absurd and deeply frustrating!

Why?

Why should he alone enjoy all the good fortune?

phistopheles was powerful, with unparalleled talent, and yet he also received the favor of a god—not just any god, but the embodint of desire—

The Succubus Queen, Licitris. To be favored by this deity ant not only material support but also the purest enjoynt in the realms of physical and spiritual pleasure!

Many demons and players from [Swallowing Heaven] not only resented phistopheles for forcing them into such a dire situation, but they also envied his fortune…

It was all too enviable!

The four Supres under Licitris, including Flanda, looked at phistopheles with complex expressions in their eyes.

The loyalty of these individuals to the Succubus Queen was unquestionable. When Licitris chose to support phistopheles, they had no objections…

Flanda was sowhat relieved; at least phistopheles was safe. She sighed, knowing that she probably wouldn't get to enjoy that safety herself…

She was the only one who could understand Licitris's thoughts. The fact that phistopheles had such a strong allure for her ant that for a queen who had reached divine level power, he would be even more tempting.

What tornted Flanda was the realization that if phistopheles was so favored by the queen, she probably would never have a chance to get close to him.

"I can only hope the queen grows tired of him soon…"

"Or maybe when phistopheles has so free ti, he could co to play with . After all, I've made several efforts to save him; shouldn't he repay a little?"

Flanda's thoughts wandered.

anwhile, the other three Supres wore expressions of calmness.

Just monts ago, under the circumstances of phistopheles being so favored, they had even entertained feelings of betrayal. Their anger felt like it was igniting their very consciousness!

Unlike Flanda, who could understand Licitris's thoughts, they knew that this was likely yet another rival in love, and a formidable one at that, capable of receiving the greatest affection from Licitris!

The Supres, captured by the charm, found it impossible to accept this one fact! They felt an impulse to kill phistopheles and take the place of the Succubus Queen!

Thus, the power of enchantnt forcibly activated, twisting the minds of the three Supres.

At that mont, they felt dazed and unusually calm. Whenever phistopheles crossed their minds, an inexplicable sense of concern and respect began to flow within them.

However…

In the midst of this focused attention and burgeoning hatred, phistopheles's figure suddenly glowed, as if he were about to vanish.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

Licitris reacted quickly. She had been closely monitoring Sterl's movents, especially since her enchanting voice had seemingly left phistopheles unaffected. The fact that he pretended to be under her control only made Licitris's heart flutter with excitent!

It was precisely because the power of enchantnt was so overwhelming that this divine-level demon craved a partner who could resist her charms.

In other words, Sterl's usual tactic of appearing unremarkable…

Had finally been exposed.

At that mont, Licitris imdiately activated her Divine Power to prevent phistopheles from teleporting.

To her surprise, while Divine Power did indeed freeze phistopheles in mid-air, completely solidifying the space around him, the white light surrounding him continued to operate!

It was sending him into a chaotic space rift. Licitris, having seen such things before, recognized what it was.

"A forced escape item! You… why are you using that?"

Licitris's expression shifted to one of deep grievance. Even a god was rely a more powerful entity, after all, and they too experienced emotions.

The Succubus Queen felt hurt! For the first ti, she had developed such strong affection for a male, only to find that he completely disregarded her feelings?

Could it be that my fearso reputation scared him away?

Caught between questioning phistopheles's actions and her own self-doubt, Licitris unhesitatingly chose to examine her own issues.

She quickly sent a telepathic ssage.

"Wait! phistopheles, I an you no harm, and I would never hurt you. I can sign a contract—please, just stay and don't leave!"

"Don't use that item! The death rate associated with such things is far higher than what's written on them. If you get caught in the spatial rift, I won't be able to save you!"

"Please! Don't do this!"

...

Her voice flooded into Sterl's senses, leaving him montarily stunned. Although the effect of her charm didn't work on him, the emotion infused in Licitris's words felt incredibly genuine.

Sterl pondered—

This Succubus Queen's deanor is completely different from what I expected.

Wait, I'm the one who has chosen to escape despite your good intentions. The Succubus Queen is actually more concerned about my safety?

Sterl felt as if this was reminiscent of the sycophants from his previous life before transmigrating.

But aren't you a god?

Since his transmigration, Sterl had been able to analyze the thoughts of various powerful beings logically, yet today, he found himself utterly confused.

Huh??

Sterl was just about to be pulled into the spatial rift when suddenly, a blood-red alert flashed before his eyes.

[You are affected by a sealing spell; your current coordinates are fixed.]

[You are receiving…]

The text continued to flicker.

Sterl understood one thing: the forced teleportation item was not invincible; it rely provided immunity to spatial restrictions. With his coordinates locked, he could not teleport away.

However, such abilities were quite rare, and Sterl usually wouldn't encounter them.

At the sa ti, he heard a chilling, eerie laughter echoing around him, reverberating through the vicinity.

"You think you can leave?"

"You can't escape!"
