I am the God of Technology

Dante activated his superpower once more and chose to return to the real world. His body separated from the one in the quantum realm while his mind remained intact in the sense that he remained logged in despite his body being sent back to reality.

He also lost that feeling of tangibility and he could definitely notice the difference between having his mind in a virtual space compared to using his body. This was actually somewhat good because unlike normal residents of this universe who felt like the virtual world was 100% real, Dante would not fall into that trap.

In other words, he never had to fear becoming unable to tell real from virtual. How nice.

Dante looked around and knew he could not just leave his body there. He decided to sprint back the way they came and spent almost 10 minutes running at a speed of around 200 kilometers per hour which was close to his top speed before he saw light.

When he emerged, he noticed that he was in a concrete jungle which was the remains of a modern city that fell into ruin after the apocalypse began. He was underneath a bridge the tunnel entrance being placed into the side of it. In front of him was a forest area and behind him was the deeper city.

Dante pondered and rushed into the city. He then jumped high and entered a large apartment building that was about 10 stories. He broke through one of the windows and entered a dusty bedroom that was quite luxurious.

Dante casually opened the door and glanced down either hallway to see that it was deathly silent. He then nodded and closed the door behind him and locked it before barring it with a desk.

He then closed the curtains on the window he broke through and then blocked it with a table so that anything that wanted to fly in would have a tough time. This naturally plunged the room into darkness, but with Dante’s mental acuity, he had a sort of darkvision.

Dante nodded with satisfaction and then lay on the bed in a seated position so that he could react to anything in case. After that, he quickly logged out and returned to the real world.

The moment he returned to his real body, Dante felt a pang of excitement because he could tell that there was something different. But first, he had to be absolutely sure so he took in a deep breath and opened his SDI.

Superpowers: Quantum Entanglement.?

Dante shook with excitement. It was true, he could really achieve what he had in mind through the use of his new ability!

Quantum Transposition allowed him to take his real body into the Quantum World, and within the Apocalypse World, he had the ability to feed his body stats through the illusory Absorption superpower. Since it was his real body receiving the power up in place of his virtual one, the changes remained even when he came back.

This was a loophole that only worked because he had the absorption superpower. If he had a power like flame control or something else that was offensive, it would be useless because he could not take the power out of the quantum world.

That was something that was extremely crazy to think of. There was no way that it could be easy to just add superpowers onto yourself by just entering quantum worlds, but then again, Dante’s Quantum Entanglement was only at the E Rank.

Who knew what abilities it would unlock when it reached the D, C, B, and above Ranks?

Thinking like this, Dante’s eyes became red with greed. He desperately wanted to return to the black land using his quantum marker there and suck away all the lovely Zero Energy for himself to bring his superpower higher.

But if he dared to go there, it meant that he was confident that the school was now safe. Besides, Dante didn’t want to reveal that he could enter what should be the universe’s most valuable treasure land and the Eternal Academy’s prize possession, the Black Land, as he pleased.

No matter how talented, this would fill the academy with alarm and make them monitor the place thoroughly if they weren’t already doing that. That was obviously not very wise of Dante nor was it conducive for long-term survival.

He calmed down and thought about what to do. His eyes flashed as he listed the things he needed to do in order or priority.

First, absorb and ratify all the knowledge of the world of the Eternal Universe and have the full understanding of a native.

Secondly, training and perfect himself with the training world and other such mediums.

Thirdly, increasing his SDI with the ‘help’ of the Apocalypse World.

Finally, increase the power of his Quantum Entanglement using the Black Land.

Dante nodded to himself. His reasoning for this order was twofold, first in consideration of the accessibility of each option and secondly in consideration of the necessity.

Since his body was currently somewhat safe, Dante resumed his consumption of the universe’s history. Right from the middle part which was the various wars that occurred as humanity expanded and took over the entire universe as the number 1 power to the end which was only recent notable events.

By the time he was done, a whole day had passed and his brow was full of sweat. He had simply consumed too much knowledge and despite his relatively good stats, it was like leaving a powerful computer running for 24 hours at 100% CPU usage with a mediocre fan.

Dante rubbed his forehead and directly went to sleep after drinking some juice from the fridge which his AI identified might be able to help him. It also regulated the heat in his system while he slept, siphoning it away from his head and expelling it through his legs.

It could not do this during the learning process because it was working in tandem with his brain to absorb the information at full capacity. There was no processing power left to handle such a task.

Dante slept like a log for 8 full hours before his AI jolted him awake. He felt much better since his brain had time to cooldown, but he was still groggy. Dante only spent a few seconds entering the Apocalypse World to see that his avatar was fine before heading back to his room for a meal.

He ordered a delivery using his bank account from his AI chip, and he paid using Etrans. Even though everywhere had its own unique little currency, the universally accepted standard was the Etran. So you could pay using the sub-currency or the same value in Etrans.

It was obviously quite expansive since the restaurant was within the estate and severed officials, but the quality was top-notch. They served every type of cuisine and even human ethnic foods were here.

So he naturally ordered Chinese because when you travel somewhere new, you can always gauge a restaurant’s quality by the quality of their oriental meals.

After eating, he decided to do some research on the social system of the Eternal universe. Who were the top powers and how did they get there? Where did they live? What part of society did they control?

Since he was doing this, Dante naturally started with the Portinari Family. This was the family he was affiliated with and who had given him the majority of his benefits and backing, so it would be best to understand them in full.

Dante spent the next 3 days doing this research, not just on the Portinari Family but all social powers throughout the universe, while also taking care of hygiene and his nutrition, as well as checking up on his avatar to make sure it was safe.

By the time he wad one, Dante had a pensive look on his face. Not that he had seen and read so much, he could fully understand the intricacies between the top echelon of the universe, especially the Human Council, the Military, and the Eternal Academy.

Also, during his search, he had learned why Beatrice was all alone in her entire dreadnought, as well as why Louisa and Co had such a strong reaction when she told them her name.

As expected, Beatrice’s playful and troublemaking demeanor hid a very dark past as well as a malicious nature. It made Dante rethink all the words and actions she had said to him in a new, more sinister light.

As for why, it lay in the nickname she had been given on the Etranet, the ‘Lady of Genocides’.
