I am the God of Technology

295 Time Trickles Away

Focusing on cultivating those fellows was not much of a problem for the current Dante. By the time they woke up from the update, they had already shot up more than a few levels collectively.

Each of them wore the same complex and troubled expressions after realizing their former existence as well as knowing about their current state of being. They weren't just the lucky ones to be chosen by a great talent; they were literally lucky to be able to truly exist!

"All of you must be feeling it, but don't think too much about it. There is much more to see and explore out there. You may have been almighty Divine Beasts in your quantum world, but here, you will have to fight to prove your worth." Dante addressed them all straightforwardly.

The beasts could only accept this and return to Dante's soul space.

Now that Dante had achieved the A Rank, he had checked the difficulty and time to reach the S Rank, and it was an estimated 6 months of non-stop cultivation. That was not possible given that Beatrice was only under a month and a half away from giving birth.

Realizing that he could no longer procrastinate, Dante slapped his cheeks and teleported to their estate. He walked up to their bedroom where the android midwives were still caring for Beatrice's every need.

Immediately, their kind and jovial expressions turned into hostility as their eyes went from blue to red, locking onto Dante immediately. Dante rolled his eyes and ignored them because he could connect his A1 chip to them to gain recognition.

The reason they reacted like that to him was because Dante was paranoid. As the 'strongest man' in the universe, who wouldn't want to cripple him? Or even in terms of his goods, who wouldn't want those Mutation Cores for free?

The best way was to kidnap his wife and soon-to-be-born child while they were helpless and then ransom them. To that end, one could use various means, even superpowers, to achieve this.

Even superpowers that allow people to assume Dante's auras and physical body existed. That was why only a special code from his A1 chip was recognized, because no superpower could mimic his A1 chip since it was crafted by the cosmic tree and was augmented by Dante's EX Nanite Resonance.

Whatever the case, as annoying as it was, it was better to be stared at by a bunch of androids than to be doing something and receive the heart-sinking news that someone had attacked and kidnapped his wife.

Of course, Dante knew Beatrice was strong. Up until Portia came back and his genes were repaired, she was practically the strongest stats-wise in the universe. However, even OG Portia was taken down because she had to protect Beatrice, much less Beatrice now who was nurturing life in her body.

It was entirely possible - and honestly actually wise - for her to surrender and follow her captors rather than fight and risk something irreparable happening.

Countless thoughts ran through Dante's mind, but they were all banished when he saw Beatrice lying on the bed while being fussed over by the midwives. Looking at her amused yet helpless expression, Dante couldn't help but marvel at just how lucky he was to secure such a timeless beauty for himself.

The best part was that her beauty wasn't just external but internal as well. Dante loved every aspect of her: her snarky and playful self when she was in admiral mode, her sweet and soft self when she was around her mother, and her loving and clingy self when she was with him.

As usual, the moment Dante arrived, Beatrice seemed to lock onto him as her eyes roved over to his direction almost immediately. When she saw him smiling softly at her, she couldn't help but smile back and pat the side of her bed.

Dante briskly walked over and sat down, gently stroking Beatrice's luxurious purple hair. "How are you doing, babe? Is everything up to standard?"

Beatrice leaned on his torso and seemed to be significantly happier. "I cant even lift my own arm to clean my body now; these guys do everything for me. I've spent more time browsing the Etranet these past few months than my entire life."

Dante chuckled. Listening to her complain about this was quite amusing, but it made sense. Before their relationship... no, before her pregnancy, Beatrice was always on the dreadnought, either relaxing between missions or dispatched to slaughter another rebel force.

In essence, she was a woman of action, so asking her to sit down in one place without doing anything was definitely a trial for her. Thinking like this, Dante had a few ideas.

"It's always better to play with loved ones. Choose any non-school world you like, and we'll play together. I won't use any superpowers or the like; it's just gonna be me and you together." He suggested after some thought.

Beatrice's eyes lit up, and she held him tight. "Sure? Aren't you busy with anything at the moment?"

Dante laughed. "The only thing keeping me busy is anxiously waiting for my beloved wife to duplicate herself into my daughter so I can love them both."

"Heh, alright then. Let's play Dungeons and Dragons, 235th edition! They have a really cool instanced world for up to four people to play together." Beatrice chuckled.

"Sure, then scoot over and let's play." Dante agreed and squeezed onto the bed with Beatrice, holding her hand as he lay down beside her and accessed his chip.

Soon, he saw an invite from Beatrice to join her custom session and accepted it. They were both brought to the character creation menus, in which Dante chose to be a high-half-elf wizard, and Beatrice chose to be a human Sorceress.

Looking at Beatrice who was dressed in tight-fitting sorceress robes, with her voluptuous curves, a nefarious intention couldn't help but shine in Dante's eyes. However, he suppressed it because he only needed to wait for about 90 days before he could ravage her again.

In the end, the duo chose a typical low starting point and entered the world afresh, going through dangers, perils, and meeting new companions to add to their party along the way.

At one point, they found a sweet little half-elf girl who had lost her parents and clung to Beatrice since she was the one who rescued her. Her maternal instinct was fully triggered, seeing as her own daughter was coming, and Beatrice couldn't bear to let the child go.

In the end, she poked and prodded Dante until the fellow reluctantly agreed to try and preserve her. He descended with his main body and placed her into a medipod for cryostasis and placed her safely in his quantum space.

When he acquired the means to grant random quantum lifeforms the chance to exist in reality - aside from

through special means like the summoning world - he

could use it to welcome her to reality.

Either that or when she became older, he would turn her into a hellfire demon.

Before doing any of this, Dante asked the girl, called Kayla, many times if she was okay with this and explained in child-like terms what might happen in order to deter her. Dante was not wicked, but he was not very benevolent either.

He personally did not like the idea of taking in any stray childrenbecause there were millions like Kayla in the universe. If they were to take in this one, what right did they have to leave those other ones out there to starve?

However, Beatrice was in the height of her emotions at this moment. The normal her would probably dislike this idea even more than him and would only have helped the girl within the quantum world rather than try and bring her out.

But right now, what was going through her mind was something along the lines of: 'Oh dear, what a poor little baby. If it were my own little baby who was stranded, I'd definitely want someone to help her, so why don't I build good karma by doing this now?' which was pretty predictable.

Even worse, she justified her thoughts by saying to herself, Well, my daughter will need a playmate, and she is just

perfect!', so the matter was settled in her mind.

No matter what, Kayla was adamant about going wherever Beatrice went because she had imprinted on his wife, especially after her recent trauma. Her parents were commoners that were slaughtered by tieflings in the town that Dante's party stayed in for the night.

As Dante and his group were basically at level 8 after playing for over a month, those level 3 tieflings who thought they could run rampant were met with death quite quickly, but not quickly enough.

Seeing the furious Beatrice appear before her and slaughter the tiefling that was about to carry her away, the little one naturally became dependent on her savior.

Eventually, Dante sealed the child in a medipod and placed her in his quantum space. Well, at least within cryostasis, she wouldn't have to worry about anything, and Dante had cast a calming spell on her, so her dreams during this period would be full of happiness and positivity.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Dante pulled them out of the world and began to watch the midwives prep Beatrice for the procedure. Each day that passed made him more nervous than the last, and he even had a short meeting with Augeus who came to check up on his daughter and granddaughter.

He took a break from his swamp of work to be present here, and Dante entertained him since he could tell that the fellow had been really fatigued. Thinking about it, he asked Augeus if there was any superpower from the list of fruits he had that he wanted.

He chose the Pure Death Fruit, which granted him the power to control the power of decay and even spawn undead as well. Looking at Augeus, Dante realized that he did have the looks and bearing to be an epic necromancer.

Soon, Portia also returned. She looked noticeably more composed and condensed, like the great power she had gained after rebirth had been thoroughly exercised and become a part of her.

Before, she radiated an aura of uncontrollable power, like a neutron star about to go supernova, but now she was like a normal life-bearing planet, seeming natural and established, with endless potential.

But Dante knew that for her to reach this stage, countless beings from other universes had to have died underneath her crushing power, becoming nutrients for her growth. Who knew how many territories and lives she had taken in this time?

Yet there was not even a hint of killing intent on her. It was as if she simply went to prune flowers rather than kill people for benefits. Or as she said it, she was going to earn some 'cash' for her family, so how could she have killing intent?

Connor and Lily also paid a visit, while Aisha insisted on being here so that she could learn for her own future. Slessor hesitated and also came over shyly, looking forward to learning about the process from Beatrice.

David and Aileen - Dante's parents - were naturally present for this as Aileen and Portia especially took over from the midwife androids. David and Augeus seemed normal, having already gone through the nervousness of a father and conquered it, chatting together about cosmic football/soccer.

One could hear arguments about how Planetary Chelsea and Solar Manchester United were facing off and who would win.

Meanwhile, Dante himself was a mass of anxiety walking, pacing up and down with a troubled expression. Nothing anyone could say or do could calm him down, and David and Augeus stopped the others from interfering.

This was a process every man must go through on the cusp of becoming a father.
