I am the God of Technology

Chapter 317 First Choice

Dante calmly looked through the abilities and weighed their merits one by one.

Quantum Aberration Field was definitely powerful. It was basically just creating a semi-controllable chaos domain where everything within warped randomly, but would mostly favor him. Obviously as the caster of the ability, Dante would remain unchanged, but anyone else was susceptible to change.

Dante did not need nor like this ability, too vague and uncontrollable.

Quantum Multiverse Gateway was quite an impressive and attractive ability. It would allow Dante to teleport to quantum markers in parallel universes, and the great thing about parallel universes was the repetitiveness and the diversion.

There was definitely a universe out there where Dante was still on Earth trying his shitty mobile app destined to fail, now 30 years old and married to Valeria, having never met Beatrice.

There was also another parallel universe where Dante was captured in that alleyway and probably rescued later by Beatrice because he hadn't been quick enough to teleport back when they grabbed at him.

Even more recently, there might be a parallel universe where Dante fought Lara and lost, being controlled by her unless the cosmic tree came forth to beat her back.

The possibilities were endless.

However, this was not what was important about this ability, but rather the fact that duplicate resources would exist. Each of these parallel universes would have their own Zero Gates, with their own fruits that may or may not be the same as this one, along with other great resources.

Dante marked this ability down as useful.

Quantum Annihilation Pulse was straightforward; it was one of the few attacking methods that were offered in every upgrade of quantum entanglement, and just like each time before, Dante was not interested, even if it sounded cool.

His current power was enough to deal with anything, and should there be any problem, he could just enter the Apocalypse World and raise his stats again. Realistically, nothing except for the fact that he didn't want to leave Beatrice behind was stopping him. Besides, what he needed were higher-dimensional attacking methods, and this did not offer that ability.

Quantum Chrono-Sync was interesting on the level of Quantum Multiverse Gateway, in that it also offered ways for Dante to claim and reclaim resources endlessly. He could sync quantum markers across any point in time, going back to his very first two quantum markers, one in his apartment on Earth and the one in the alleyway of Avalon City.

He could completely influence the events surrounding himself and even change the current timeline. Times where he was forced to take a loss like when he was first pushed into the First Gate or the time the teachers attacked him after breaking through to the E rank could be modified.

It was definitely a good ability for a schemer who deserved perfection, but Dante was not that guy. He was extremely satisfied with the current state of things and had not a single regret at all.

Still, he pinned this ability to the side for further consideration.

Quantum Omnipotence also sounded good. Within the range of a quantum marker, he could control everything as if he were a god. He could rewrite laws and change the truth of the universe within that range, but it was flawed.

Firstly, it could not affect higher-dimensional beings, and secondly, the effects only worked within that zone. So if he brought Antonia there and changed the laws within that range to make her a higher- dimensional being, even if it worked, it would revert the moment she left that spot.

Dante temporarily hung it to the side, though he truly doubted he would take this.

Now Quantum Warp was something that made his eyes light up. It was an upgrade based on his basic Quantum Entanglement ability to teleport and even built on the back of the recently acquired Quantum Transportation that allowed him to cart about more than one person through universes safely.

With Quantum Warp, he could now open super large gateways which could allow ship fleets to pass through universes and custom worlds, as well as take anyone within the range of his senses in. Since his spirit sense was now 2000 kilometers wide, it could easily cover millions of beings if they arranged themselves orderly.

He could take his entire family and army with him wherever he went, allowing them to deploy on the enemy instantly, as long as he had a quantum marker there, of course.

Dante definitely favored this one.

Quantum Perception was another good one. With this, Dante would be able to become the ruler of all quantum networks within the range of a universe, and this included the First Gate. All the secrets and movements of the various universes and their denizens would be open to him, kind of like the NSA in modern Earth.

However, this had limited use for him given that Levi could do the same, though he needed to be prompted. Dante did not really see the need to waste a whole upgrade slot on this when there were other far better choices.

Quantum Pathfinder was an insidious ability that Dante craved day and night in his dreams. He longed to gain access to other universes, but not in the sense that he could just travel to them but in the sense that he could plagiarize their 'official stamp' for his various replicated goods.

lightsnοvεl As for normally entering other universes, pfft, there were many ways to do that. If spies could be planted in the Eternal Universe, it would only require a slight price to pay, and Dante specifically didn't even need to pay that.

He just had to either use the eyes of Illusion to turn a member of another universe into his pawn who would sneak him in or into a hellfire demon that would do the same. Either way, he had many options that could virtually cost him nothing but time and a little effort.

But none of these would grant him what the ability did, and it was extremely high on his wanted list. Dante directly pinned it to the top.

Quantum Booster was a great support skill for battle scenarios, allowing Dante to buff all those within the range of his marker by a minimum of two times up to a maximum of 6 times. There was a mathematical limit due to the range involved, but Dante didn't care much about that.

This ability was not very useful because not only could Bernard achieve this effect as a War Beast, but Dante's own Knight Life Essence had the effect of boosting troops under his banner, increasing their stats and especially their defenses, coordination as well as regeneration.

Just because he hardly used Bernard or the Knight method did not mean they were redundant. It simply was not time to use them as they had not been pushed far enough to justify it.

This one could be discarded.

Quantum Creator was the final base ability upgrade and it easily competed for the best amount of Dante's new choices. This one allowed him to recreate anything he had ever seen or interacted with as long as he was within the range of his quantum marker.

It had the same limitation as Quantum Omnipotence in the sense that anything created only existed within the range of the marker, and once taken out, it would cease to function.

However, that was not the allure of it. Dante could entirely recreate special items that he had difficulty replicating in the quantum worlds, like the seven dragon balls for Porunga and be able to summon the dragon AND make a wish as long as he stayed within the range.

As a nice bonus, the wish would not disappear, only the dragon balls. Otherwise, this ability would be completely useless if the effects of recreated items could not be carried out at least.

Dante also considered this one greatly.

His eyes scanned the list of 10 base ability upgrades and hesitated for a short while as he slowly eliminated the ones he had pinned until he came down to the only real choice he could make.

Welcome to the family, Quantum Pathfinder!

This particular ability will be integral to his ability to farm Spire Points henceforth, not to mention to increase the size of his Superpowereds army. Heck, he could even expand his conquest since the Centralis Universe had pretty much fallen to him long ago and was in the consolidation, recovery, and rapid development phase that came after such conquests.

With that in mind, Dante requested the Seven Deadly Sins to initiate their various methods and deal with their current objectives before returning to him. Not only was it time to expand the army, but it was time to deploy into various universes and start taking them down as soon as possible.

Dante was satisfied with this new ability, though he would have to select which universes to take down and place the marker first. However, that was not a problem for him as long as he had the option to do so in the first place.
