I am the God of Technology

Chapter 253 Rebuilding and Resurrection

Well… the worst thing possible for the Eternal Universe had finally happened. Through unforeseeable circumstances on their part, Dante had identified the backdoor left in his technology and even knew where it led to.

The Eternal Universe originally had a plan to deal with Dante if he ever found out, but that was supposed to be far later. They could never have predicted that not only did he have counterfeit fruits to exchange with the spire as well as the mutation cores, but he would have something like the Nirvana Fire of a Phoenix as well.

It was one thing to trick Dante on their side, as Dante had accepted the deception as fair game and even benefited from it immensely. Not to mention that he would have made the same choice anyway without the deception, so the hatred level was pretty low.

However, trying to dig out his secrets in such a manner left him extremely furious because Dante knew that he was only saved by his moderate caution and the gap between universes, especially with the power of Quantum Entanglement.

When traversing through quantum tunnels, other matter that was not naturally a part of Dante or not closely affiliated with him would be destroyed. So any hidden signals or methods were likely killed through this method, which was a lifesaver.

Dante sucked in a deep breath and calmed himself down. He looked at his half-completed base already and recalled everything back to this spot. He then collected all his tech and destroyed the half-built base before collecting it back as well, making sure everything was sent into his quantum space.

Dante then glanced at the wasteland and contemplated his next moves. His quantum clone in the home universe had already collected all ten fruits with ease and had left the Zero Gate. The requirement to stay 30 days was because neither the Eternal universe nor the Centralis universe knew of a way to teleport the way quantum entanglement did.

Dante hesitated for a long time before making a set of decisions. With his current EX rank Nanite Resonance, he released a huge amount of nanites from his quantum space and then connected with all of them.

Immediately, he removed any backdoors and hidden methods on them, making them truly his. He then teleported back towards the Black Spire, which was the center point of this battlefield, and focused on his nanites.

Then he had them start everything from scratch, building a newer and more improved base using his own design.

That’s right, Dante intended to monopolize this Black Spire for himself and build a faction around it!

Wait, how dare he?! How dare he?!?

With what power did he think he had the right to monopolize such a precious resource? Just because species from other universes hardly came here due to the terrible reputation of this place did not mean that there was no one here or that there was no one willing to come here.

Like that vulture creature from earlier, other zones and species would occasionally release scouts to come and check out the place to see if anything had changed or if it was safe for them to make a push.

When they found Dante building a base around the spire, even if they feared this place, how could they allow him to have his way? Naturally, they would and should attack or sabotage him to prevent him from getting a step ahead.

So what did Dante have to make him think he could counter that?

Dante, who was controlling the nanites to build, smiled slightly.

If we were talking methods, Dante had many of them currently, some he had already activated and some he left unactivated because it was not the right time or because he did not fancy it.

But now that he knew almost everything he needed to know about the situation and the various universes, it was time to ‘chrome the fuck up’ as they would say.

The first was obviously his new superpowers of Quantum Core and Nanite Resonance. Quantum Core allowed him to change most of the rules of an established quantum world within a certain range.

As it was only a normal superpower not backed a higher dimensional entity, it could not supersede the power of reality like Quantum Entanglement could. However, Dante didn’t need it to in this case, as he could take people into quantum worlds now and avoid quantum poisoning as long as they stayed 10 feet within the range of the initial quantum marker.

So all Dante had to do was first rewrite the rules to make it such that the people he brought in could practice the quantum methods of that world in question. With worlds like the True Martial and Magus world, Dante could allow Beatrice and those he chose to learn External Arts, internal Arts, Knight Breathing, and Magus system powers because they did not physically need to be in the world to cultivate it.

Not to mention he had already researched and created resources that could speed up cultivation, so he could mass-produce warriors for himself and create his own armed force.

How would he keep them under control? Well, apart from his family members, all the others who would be granted this power would be clones!

Dante would simply take his own genetic code and splice it up to create a ‘designer baby’ with perfect traits. That baby would then be nurtured to adulthood and then replicated over and over again until he had an army.

Apart from the power system given to them, there were two ways to control these forces. The first was to directly implant obedience as a genetic code into their bodies, and the second was to use Nanite Resonance to create AI chips, Bionics, and Psionics for them to use.

Since those nanites came from Dante, they would always belong to Dante.

The second unactivated method was the humans that Aisha had ‘captured’ who had superpowers naturally. They could also be given nanites by Dante and fed Mutation Cores up to the S Rank to boost their utility.

A force of superpower users, even with trash superpowers, at the S rank was not something any universe would take lightly, and if Dante could bring them all in here, it would severely upset the balance.

The third unactivated method was obviously to leverage his influence and control in the True Martial World and Magus World to recruit already-made powerhouses like Volud and Elandor, or Liang and Hao Donglei to come into reality and mess things up.

And the list went on.

Dante patiently got the skeletal framework of this base up and running before leaving his nanites with a command to continue. They would build the externals and the hardware, but not activate or touch the software since that one was still bugged.

However, Dante had a few ideas on how to solve this. The good news was that since he had registered with the Black Spire, he could now freely come and go from the First Gate in the future, so he was not confined here anymore.

As such, he traveled using his quantum marker to the Portinari Clan directly, appearing outside the resurrection chamber. He found that a tired Augeus was seated there with bloodshot eyes as he stared at the cultivation chamber containing his wife.

Aunty Zest was also here, patiently waiting by the side but unable to hide her anticipation. Unsurprisingly, Beatrice was here too, seated by her father with a worried glance at Portia, who was obviously undergoing the final stages of her resurrection.

When Dante appeared, Beatrice was the only one who noticed him due to her powerful senses. When she saw Dante come back, she took it for granted and beckoned for him to come and sit beside her.

After all, in her mind, he should have only gone to the Zero Gate to bully his fellow students for the ten fruits, so how much danger could he have possibly been in?

She had no idea of the brushes with death that Dante had undergone in these past 2 to 3 days; otherwise, she would be utterly furious and filled with killing intent. Just as well, Dante was not in a rush to tell her not because he liked keeping secrets or creating misunderstandings, but because Beatrice was already more than 1 month pregnant and he did not fancy the idea of triggering her emotions so strongly.

He calmly sat beside her with a smile and placed an arm around her shoulder, bringing her in close. Feeling his soft and warm Beatrice in his hand, Dante felt content and extremely comfortable, and the pains he had suffered to this point seemed to diminish.

Oh, how easy it was for a man to be satisfied. One could go through hell and fire, but seeing his wife and child safe and happy could make him dive right back in, though he was terrified of it.

Dante glanced at Portia’s progress and saw that she had already been fully melted and the fire was reshaping her slowly. It was pulsing with life and energy as the nirvana process was just about to begin and how much Portia could gain from this was about to be seen.

In a few minutes, the entire space began to tremble as the fire’s pulsation grew stronger and a vortex formed that surrounded Portia’s blazing form. Augeus stood up and was full of excitement, but controlled himself as he knew this was the crucial moment.

As such, he personally walked forward and pressed a button. A small tube beside the cultivation chamber lit up and small black orbs began to rush into the cultivation chamber madly.

Dante was full of wonder as to what it was until Beatrice saw his face and explained with a knowing smile. “Those are compressed Star Cores, basically energy orbs containing the entire energy of a star for its lifespan and especially when it undergoes supernova.”

Dante was thoroughly speechless at that. Portia was so overpowered and needed so much energy that she literally ate the equivalent of stars to subsist herself. Of course, she normally would not need so many of those things but she was undergoing Nirvana and she could explode up to 2 to 9 times beyond her current limit.

This required an immense amount of energy and the basic energy within the small vial that Dante gave them to use on Portia was unknown if it could even restore her to her basic self, much less gain any benefits.

Obviously, the Portinari family did not just want Portia back in her prime, they wanted her to be even better. Because Portia herself would want this, the ability to be so much stronger that even if one threatened her family and her precious daughter, she could put them down with ease.

The black orbs were sucked into the cultivation chamber one by one and merged with the fire, making its increase in intensity and power, its pulsation and power growing. More and more were sucked in to no end, but Augeus and Beatrice did not look worried.

The Eternal Universe had already fully researched particle acceleration to the max as well as matter and energy compression. They could supply as much energy in this form as the nirvana fire needed because they had the equipment for it.

Dante looked at this as his eyes flickered. He had some thoughts in mind but would share them after this important moment was over. Right now, he was more interested in seeing his mother-in-law and her reaction to his existence.

That wish was granted, and the cultivation chamber seemed to explode, and the nanites inside melted at once. Dante, with his new superpower, could practically hear them all screaming as they were turned to ash in seconds.

But that was not as overwhelming as the performer who walked out of the cultivation chamber’s fiery remnants, her body sleek and smooth like a newborn baby and her sharp purple eyes scanning the room like a predator.

Portia Portinari had come back to life!
