"The Devour superpower was represented by a giant mouth with extremely sharp teeth that seemed ready to dig in at any time. The Gluttony superpower, however, was represented by a giant stomach-looking appendage that expanded and contracted rapidly. As for the Regeneration superpower, it was represented by a bunch of human arms and legs that floated together casually.
Beatrice stood within her soul space, something which she had never been able to do before as she did not have a true superpower, and glanced at all the changes with a calm face. She had shared a lot of experience with Dante and knew that this was the current manifestation of quantum entanglement.
When the change finished, she could feel the sheer power flow through her as she gained all of Dante's abilities in quantum entanglement, including his current list of power systems. Apart from hellfire and the raging blood technique, she also gained the same primal ape knight breathing life essence and the 10 spiritual cores of a 9th rank multi-elemental Magus (based on her own stats, not Dante's) the eyes of illusion, the summoned beast system, the Concoction of Absorption, and the Libido Seed.
Beatrice was shocked by the sheer amount of power Dante wielded on a normal basis and wondered why he was so conservative in his actions. If she or her mother had this kind of power, they would have long rampaged throughout the entire universe.
But it had to do with the difference between Dante and Beatrice, as well as her mother. Dante was the type of person who, if playing a strategy-building game, would prefer to build up his base in terms of infrastructure, defense, and economies before building the barracks and attacking.
As for Beatrice and Portia, they were the type of people who would use the base's first resources to build troops and a hero and begin clearing the map around them. The base's development would be solely to drain the ambient resources while spawning endless troops consecutively.
After the power-sharing was complete, Beatrice opened her eyes, still seated on Dante's lap within their mansion. However, both she and Dante felt the bond that connected them, which had transcended physical flesh and had become something more... ethereal.
They shared a look and smiled. The two suddenly disappeared from their room in the mansion, appearing within the forward base Dante had previously been at before he had reached the S Rank in Quantum Entanglement.
"Woah, so that's how it feels?" Beatrice muttered, as she had been the one to initiate the teleportation while bringing Dante along.
"Huh, so that's how it feels to be a passenger," Dante also commented with surprise.
"So? What do we do now?" Dante turned to Beatrice and asked, since the woman definitely had some radical ideas given her methods.
Dante wasn't disappointed as Beatrice smiled and cracked her knuckles. "You have to capture all the Laras in the various millions of universes, which, with your current power, is not hard but exceedingly time-consuming. Apart from that, you have to reach the EX Rank of Quantum Entanglement, which is also similar in this regard."
"Given the time frame you have, it's not crucial to rush towards a conclusion so quickly. Rather, it's more important to increase your power to the limit of what a mortal body can bear and try to increase the versatility of your abilities so that the transition to an authority holder is less troubled."
"Hence, I suggest that we pay a visit to the important quantum worlds you may or may not have been to before, like the Apocalypse World to increase your stats, the Anime World to make some wishes, and the Immortal Cultivation world to adopt a new and potent power system," Beatrice concluded with a nod.
Dante thought about it and felt such a plan was different from what he would have done, but was also actionable. Still, he shared his thoughts.
"Personally, I would rather call back my various deployed forces, and update them with some details of what they need to do. I would then use Quantum Pathfinder en masse on various captured beings of various universes then send subordinates into those universes to take them over and suss out Lara."
"Once they do that, I will descend into the universes personally with you to capture that Lara. Apart from that, my forces have been kept small because I want to maintain strict control over them and their growth, but the new circumstance calls for a massive expansion."
"l cant yet raise quantum beings into reality as soldiers easily, so we'll have to recruit from the Eternal and Centralis universes. Likely, there are more than enough lifeforms in both universes to cover the entire multiverse."
Beatrice chuckled. "Nice, we can work on both as we go. Now that there are two of us with similar abilities, things will move far faster for you. I will also try to establish an army of radiant angels to assist your hellfire demons in all things."
Dante had already informed his troops to return previously, and they were making their way back which would take time. In the end, the duo returned to the Eternal Universe and put out a mass recruitment message that stirred up the universe into a storm.
"What?! The Strongest Being, Dante, is recruiting anyone and everyone into his force? Why did something happen in the First gate that warrants more troops?!"
"Holy shit, look at the benefits of joining! Man, I really want to get into the Superpowereds and become a transcendent being!"
"Nah, the Martial Artists are where it's at! The ability to grow and nurture my own unique power that perfectly suits me rather than some random superpower is far better!"
"You guys are dumb. Martial Arts require talent and the superpowers require available fruits of useful powers. Rather than that, I'd definitely prefer to be a hellfire demon who has the chance to be a deadly sin because their status in the entire army is the highest!"
"Haha, the page asked me if I wanted to apply. No shit I'm applying, man do you think everyone has the chance to rise out of their rut and make something of themselves?!"
Conversations were raging online and in person as all the news networks reported about it, the powerhouses discussed the repercussions while behind closed doors, and the Etranet was abuzz with activity.
As for the offending party who caused all this trouble, they had long disappeared from the universe and headed to the Centralis side to place the same advert out. Since Dante had never actually recruited from here since he considered this to be his 'secret base', the reaction was even stronger.
"Oh my! Quantum Lord Dante is actually choosing among us to join his various armies? Which one do I even choose?"
'Who cares what you do choose, just apply! I applied for all three like five times! I hope my Lord Dante will accept an inferior being like me!"
"Hngh! If I get to join Lord Dante's army, I can be close to him! It will be like a dream come true!"
"Whoever stands in Lord Dante's way is my sworn enemy! I will apply and fight to the death for him!"
"Hear, hear! Let's all apply and give our lord the best means to deal with his enemies!"
The Centralis Universe was Dante's strongest source of faith energy, and it was obvious why. Due to his actions of conquering and then developing greatly, even the rebellious at heart had long accepted him.
Within the Centralis universe, the name of Dante was treated and said with respect and worship, the people placing him on pedestals and even building statues of him on many planets.
Some had even gone to the crazy length of 'carving an entire dead planet using a multiple of ships into a statue of Dante that was placed at the center of their quadrant, for all beings to pay homage to.
The AIs that efficiently managed the universe tacitly allowed this, as in their bluntly logical calculation, religious zeal towards Dante would be better for indoctrination and control of the masses.
In the meantime, the duo left the Centralis Universe and entered the Anime World. They did not descend with avatars and entered with their real bodies, appearing in West City where Dante previously left a quantum marker.
Seeing two human 'players' appear, no one else was surprised, thinking that they had just logged in. Dante and Beatrice then checked the various details of the world to see if any events were being held and where.
"Oh nice, we're in luck. There's another Dragon Ball event, this one being about assisting Cheelai in saving Broly from Gogeta Blue. She uses the Dragon Balls during this event, and there are two spare wishes apart from the compulsory one to save Broly. What do you think?" Beatrice flicked through the various details with a skillful hand as she had spent a lot of time playing in this world.
"Oh? Sounds interesting, register us for it," Dante responded with a nod.
As Beatrice and Dante registered for the event, they departed towards the teleporter that led to the event-specific area immediately, hand in hand.
