I am the God of Technology

Dante sat down in the peace of his room, thinking deeply. He simply ran his thoughts using his 500-point Intelligence and did not use the AI chip because he just wanted some alone time.

A part of him wanted to inform Beatrice so they could cook up ways to maximize this new ability, but that would be for later. It wasn’t that he felt chauvinistic, but as a man, Dante wanted to solve problems with his skills and make his family happy.

This was the goal of most men, to be honest.

Anyway, Dante focused on his options now.

The first was in consideration of his presence here, within the Eternal universe. Now that he could place markers as he pleased, he could much more easily traverse this universe. One should know that Dante had not dared to explore this place too much because unlike the home universe, they had mature space technology here.

Even if he modded his spaceship, it could still be tracked, especially given his identity and status. There were many factions who wanted to know where he was at all times, either to deal with him or to spy on him.

As for his Quantum Depository, it had little use in the Eternal universe since he was not here to upgrade and assist this universe in any way, only to exploit.

The second consideration was his home universe and his presence there. Here, it was obvious that he could now finally take his overpowered android beauties back home as well as any technology he wanted, including his spaceship.

This finally put on the radar his plan to explore the home universe and see if there was a Zero Gate there as well. He could also take the time to check if the layout of both universes was exactly the same, since there was an Earth with a similar history in the Eternal universe.

If so, it would obviously make finding a Zero Gate in the home universe much easier, as he would only need to use the map of the Eternal Universe to get there.

As for Earth itself, apart from maybe lazily setting up a base, it had little value. In truth, Dante’s arsenal and repertoire had grown too fast for the value of Earth to keep up with him.

In a typical setting, he would be embroiled in urban issues progressively, starting from the city, state, country, and then to the world as he expanded his power influence and might.

He had even laid down extensive plans for that, with the mini quantum computer, but it now became a side thing. When he went to the casino and bought the cars, he came to this initial realization, but what clinched it was the journey to South Africa that revealed the gap between him and the strongest powers of Earth.

Oh right, Dante remembered that he told the Pantheon that he would receive their answer this month. He only said that to buy time back then, but now it was really unimportant. However, there was no need to let it go, and one of his capable androids could pay them a visit then decide their fate.

There were also the pests infesting his island, but he could just send them back where they came from. Enslaving them was totally possible, but completely a waste of time. They had superpowers, yes, but they had no access to Zero Energy, so their superpowers were at the lowest level for all their lives.

Their basic human genes were trash and did not stand out. Of course, all this could easily be changed by Dante, but… why?

Why take the risk of developing these people when he could simply use androids that were far more efficient? Because they had superpowers? That was the dumbest reason and could probably get one killed.

If it was so easy to control superpower users while letting their power grow, then the Eternal universe would not be controlled by superpower users but rather have them shackled.

The fact that they could run up and down with impunity despite possessing such powerful technology in that universe that could turn them into ash should tell one that something wasn’t right.

Anyway, that was just a tangent, not a side thing. They weren’t important then, and they still weren’t important now, so Dante wouldn’t waste more time thinking about them.

The third thing was his progress in the various Quantum Worlds. Once again, his run in the Apocalypse World had come to an end, and he would have to start afresh. That 30-day limit seemed long at first, but when you got down to it, it was actually very short.

Anyway, there were useful worlds and useless worlds. High technology or modern worlds were useless. The items they produced could be sourced in the higher advanced Eternal Universe and of much better quality.

What was he going to take from the Apocalypse World, the medicine? The Mutation Cores? He could definitely try his hand and see what would have an effect outside, but they wouldn’t change things much.

After reaching the D Rank, Dante’s connection to his superpower had reached a greater level, and he thoroughly understood why it was so hard to upgrade. Just slapping on Mutation Cores would not work because they only provided a sort of energy at best, not comprehension.

As for other lesser worlds like the Rising Star world, what could he possibly take from a medieval world that would have value in this technological one? It was usually the other way round if anything.

The ones that piqued his interest were slightly magical worlds like the True Martial World of any cultivation quantum world. If he could bring out the Demon Beast Blood Energy Soup and have the best AI study it, they could find a way to replicate it and create a serum that achieved the same effect.

There were also things like manuals he could take out and their special weaponry. Not to mention a cultivation world, if he entered, could he bring out the fabled Spirit Stone? What effect would it have on reality?

Would there be a way to find out how to make spirit roots? Maybe harvest the corpses of many different cultivators and bring them out for study and dissection, letting the computers understand what the Spirit Root is and how to either create or graft it.

The possibilities were endless!

Thinking like this, Dante gripped the armrest of the sofa he was on and rose to his feet. He spread out his Spirit Sense and detected that everything within its range was easily visible to him with no barriers.

All the various happenings within each building were open to him. Most of the others were either sleeping, eating, or deep within the Etraverse, harvesting Supercoins crazily for their final year spurt.

None of them discovered Dante’s peeking, and this did not surprise him, as even the denizens of the True Martial World weren’t able to either.

Currently, the range of his spirit sense was equal to his Intelligence stat in meters. So, 500 points of Intelligence was 500 meters of Spirit Sense sensory range, which was crazy.

After all, even if one practiced both External and Internal Arts to the highest realm in the True Martial World starting from 10 points, their overall stats would not surpass 100 points in intelligence especially.

So even if other techniques gave a spirit sense ability – as obviously, not every technique did – they would only have 1/5th of Dante’s prowess, and he could keep going!

However, Dante was not smug, but rather chilled. One should know the Inferno Ascension technique was not a superpower but a magical method. Yet the advanced technology and shielding of the Eternal universe could not detect nor block it.

So, others who had sensory superpowers or sensory-related sub-abilities could have been watching him teleport in and out? Even hear his mutterings?

Especially that Humphrey fellow. He literally controlled air, so the wind in Dante’s room was his ally. If his range was this far, he could totally sense everything Dante did at every step. .𝘤𝘰𝑚

Luckily, luckily… Dante was wary of the school from the start, not knowing if they had some high-tech ways to spy on him, so he mostly did his things either when he was on Etonia or was with Beatrice.

At the time though, what he feared was not the fellow students but the administration, but this had brought him back down to earth that he could not underestimate his fellow students even if they were freshmen like him.

Especially after their reaction to his aura. If they didn’t monitor him before, they would certainly do so now to try and dig up his secrets and reduce his threat as a competitor. Just as well, Dante felt. He immediately teleported from the school to the Inferno Battleship’s Observation Deck.

What he didn’t know was that when he left, at least 15 of the 28 students in his batch who seemed to be asleep, eating, or in the Etraverse had ugly expressions as they glanced at his residence with cold and predatory eyes.
