Infinite Evolution: My Idle Evolution System - Chapter 527

527: The Leviathan Awakens 527: The Leviathan Awakens “Well, no matter,” Cassius shrugged, fixating on his Spirit Attribute.

“This also received a huge upgrade, meaning that escaping from this place has become several times more plausible.” Conjuring [Asura Scythe], Cassius’s words instantly became the truth.

The manifested weapon of blood was now over 50 meters in size, also in possession of a density more than five times greater than before.

SWISH!

The mighty [Asura Scythe] sliced through the darkness like the Messiah that would bring about the light.

CLANGG!

When the sharpest part of the enormous scythe clashed against the chain on Cassius’s right leg, a reaction like no other was produced.

An impact!

The chain on Cassius’s right leg trembled violently, its metallic shrieks echoing through the abyss as sparks scattered like fireflies in the void.

Cassius’s lips curled upward, his pale face illuminated by the crimson glow of his weapon.

“Yes… this is the difference.

This is the power of a second awakening.” The scythe’s edge dug into the chain, deeper than ever before.

Where once his strikes left shallow scratches, now the links bent and warped under the sheer density of his Spirit.

The abyss itself seemed to recoil from the force, as if the world recognized the birth of an anomaly.

But the chain did not break immediately.

It resisted, its ancient construction infused with a power that mocked his efforts.

Cassius gritted his teeth, veins bulging across his malnourished arms as he poured more Asura Energy into the scythe.

SWOOSH!

The scythe expanded again, its bloody aura thickening until it resembled a storm of liquid crimson.

The pressure distorted the air, warping the abyss into a twisted reflection of itself.

Idle, perched lazily on his shoulder, tilted her head with a mischievous grin.

“You’re pushing yourself awfully hard, Host.

Don’t forget-chains like these aren’t just metal.

They’re magical.

They bind more than your flesh.” Cassius ignored her, his focus absolute.

“Magic or not, they’ll shatter all the same.” The scythe descended once more.

BOOM!

The impact reverberated like thunder, shaking the abyss.

The chain cracked, fissures spreading across its surface like veins of light in the darkness.

Cassius’s heart raced, his breath ragged, but his eyes gleamed with triumph.

“Almost…” he whispered.

“Just a little more.” He raised the scythe again, but before he could strike, the eye embedded in his forehead snapped open.

OOOM!

The abyss warped violently, the Spiritual Lines glowing brighter in response.

Cassius staggered, his vision consumed by endless red and gold.

The lines pulsed, vibrating as though alive, and for a moment he felt himself tethered to every source of Spiritual Energy in Alcatraz.

His body trembled under the weight of the revelation.

He could sense rivers of power flowing through the cosmos, each line a pathway to unfathomable strength.

The Leviathan’s presence loomed above them all, its Spiritual Line thicker than mountains, stretching endlessly into the void.

Cassius gasped, clutching his chest.

“This… What is this insane level of pressure…” Idle chuckled, her voice dripping with amusement.

“You’re glimpsing the truth, Cassius.

The Eye of God Asura doesn’t just let you see-it forces you to understand.

Every connection, every thread in this Abyss, laid bare before you.” Cassius’s knees buckled, but he refused to collapse.

He clenched his fists, forcing himself to endure the crushing pressure.

“How do I lessen this overwhelming feeling…?” Idle shrugged.

“How would I know?

Maybe just feel the force within or something!” “…” “Useless,” Cassius muttered “Hwah!?

I heard that, you know??” Idle pouted, kicking him in the side of the head with her perfect, slender feet.

Ignoring her, Cassius honed in on his connection with the Eye of God Asura.

Something inside it quickly reacted to this probing as a bloody light surged outward, enveloping the chain before him.

The fissures widened, glowing crimson as if the chain itself was being judged by the Asura God.

The pressure on Cassius was redirected at the chain, allowing him to gain some respite.

CRACK!

With a final, resounding shatter, the chain exploded into fragments, dissolving into dust that spiraled into the abyss.

Cassius fell forward, catching himself on trembling arms, sweat pouring down his face.

His right leg was free.

The sensation of liberation coursed through him, intoxicating and overwhelming.

He flexed his leg weakly, marveling at the return of control.

“Three chains down…” he muttered, his voice hoarse.

“Two more to go.” One around his other leg and the longest and thickest one coiled around his torso and lower body.

Idle leaned closer, her lips brushing his ear as she whispered, “But each chain grows harder, Cassius.

The more you break, the more the abyss resists.

Do you think you can handle it?” Cassius rolled his eyes.

“I know you’re just being a pervert.

Quit acting like a Sage.” “Teehee~” Idle giggled, kicking her feet with glee.

“I haven’t the faintest idea what you’re talking about, my Dear Host~” Cassius clicked his tongue before rising to his feet, swaying slightly from exhaustion, and summoned the scythe once more.

Its massive form hovered above him, dripping with liquid Asura Energy that hissed as it touched the abyssal ground.

Yet as he prepared to strike the next chain, something stirred.

The Spiritual Lines around him quivered violently, as though disturbed by his actions.

Cassius froze, his gaze snapping upward.

The Leviathan’s line pulsed with terrifying intensity, sending shockwaves through the abyss.

A low, guttural sound reverberated from above-a sound that was neither roar nor growl, but something far more ancient.

It was different from all the previous times the Levithan snored, as this sound was actually audible.

The abyss trembled, and Cassius felt his blood run cold.

“The Leviathan…” he whispered.

“Why is it waking up…?” Idle’s smile faded, replaced by a rare look of seriousness.

“That’s not good.

You’ve drawn its attention.” Cassius’s grip tightened on the scythe.

“Should I go and meet it…?

No, I have to go and meet it.” “You… do?” “Yes.” The eye in his forehead flared, its bloody light piercing the abyss.

He couldn’t fully observe the unimaginable form of the Leviathan from here, but he knew approximately where it was trapped; he and the beast were also more than aware of the other’s existence.

Just then, a grating, abyssal voice echoed inside his head: “You… A Human?”
