"Oh?" Dante noted their reactions, and so did Beatrice. Both of them were indisputably new to the concept of Origin Energy and its various effects, so to learn that it had a strong pull on all non-origin life forms was interesting.
What was interesting was that Beatrice did not react the same to it, but that might be because she was also sponsored by Etz Chaim through the Quantum Ascendant Bond, so her Eternal sponsor's energy suppressed the latent desire for Origin Energy.
Dante finished branding the first being and then proceeded to brand the others. It truly shocked him how little of a deduction they had on his Origin Energy. If we could say that he could produce 100 units of Origin Energy, or 100%, in every second, then they took less than 0.001% of that energy ONCE.
Based on his calculation, they would be able to go their entire lifetime with the energy they provided unless a very rare situation occurred. Dante began to wonder how he managed to even condense this energy that was of such high quality and superiority that when converted down, it was so powerful.
However, even Etz Chaim was baffled by it, so he would have to discover the reason himself.
It was only Slessor, the Gorgon, and the other 5 Deadly Sins who took significantly more, but also just once. However, Dante could tell that they might need more investments of energy throughout their lifetime if they exerted themselves strongly.
"Now, Synkoi, do your thing," Dante stated as he summoned his special Synchronization Beast.
"Yes, master," The two koi fish spoke, spinning around in a circle rapidly as a strange line formed between all the hellfire demons and Dante. Immediately, the hellfire demons felt the former connection return, though it was now inconsequential compared to the feeling of bonding through sponsorship by Dante.
Dante too felt his hellfire abilities return, but it was no longer his own power system but a temporary thing maintained by the Synchronization Beast. If Synkoi ever stopped spinning, the connection would sever itself completely.
Since Synkoi was powered by his own Origin Energy, the hellfire produced in Dante's body was much more potent than before, but it was limited in the sense that it could not grow, only be replenished.
Synkoi itself did not consume much Origin Energy per second to maintain this connection. Satisfied, Dante put Synkoi back in his soul space where it could relax and stop spinning but still maintain the connection, and then focused on the subordinates gathered here.
"That is it for this matter. Now, we are onto the reason why I summoned you all back immediately," Dante addressed the entire group, who became solemn and attentive to his next words.
"As my main force, you are qualified to know some things. There is a flaw in the creation of the Zero Gates and the First Gate, these two phenomena created by a powerful higher dimensional being with the purpose of causing the destruction of all universes in time."
"This is a threat to our existence and shall not be tolerated. The higher dimensional being in question is sealed in higher dimensional space by the creator of our entire reality, but they are plotting in his absence to use us as fodder for her escape."
"As such, they have placed clones of themselves within every universe, subtly steering its purpose into the usage and exploitation of these two harmful phenomena to expedite the process."
Dante smiled when he saw the sweat forming on everyone's brow from the magnitude of the revelation. "You know this person; all of you have met her clone in one way or another, and have even heard of her in the news."
Immediately, everyone showed puzzled and confused expressions as they could not pinpoint who Dante was talking about right away. Beatrice rolled her eyes and folded her arms with exasperation.
"Who else in our universe is a 'she', is always in the news, and is the main proponent of the Zero Gate's exploration?"
The others were still confused, but the former students of the Eternal Academy's faces changed. "Wait, Headmistress Lara?!"
"Huh?"
It was like thunder exploded in the minds of those who hadn't caught on till now. Lara Sanguis, the strongest being in the universe up until the establishment of their current boss, Dante, was the culprit?
And there were millions of her across the various universes?!
Due to long-time conditioning, fear surged into the hearts of everyone as they trembled greatly. It wasn't even that Lara was a higher dimensional being; they had subtly forgotten that part.
It was the fact that Lara was a power and a threat on the level of Dante himself in their eyes, and now so many of her could converge at any time to take down the entire multiverse?
Surprisingly, Dante was not annoyed by their reaction, and neither was Beatrice. "Good. It's good that you are terrified; that is your common sense telling you what kind of foe you are going up against and how you match up against them."
"Remember that terror. Your task is not to fight any of the Lara clones, as even with my sponsorship, none of you are qualified to even lift one of their shoes. Your job is to descend into each and every universe and conquer it under my banner, spreading my influence multiverse-wide," Dante relayed calmly.
The fellows here breathed a subtle sigh of relief, but Humphrey frowned slightly. "Lord Dante, what about if we encounter that universe's Lara while conquering? What should we do in response?"
"Don't worry about her. Even if she descends upon you, I will also descend as well as capture her. Just make sure not to be ambushed or one-shotted, because resurrecting you will be tough when she uses her authorities to destroy your existence," Dante replied nonchalantly, but the army was left speechless.
"Erm, Lord Dante, I don't think we have nearly enough numbers to cover the various universes…" Slessor pointed out another issue she noticed.
Dante smiled and nodded. "That is another issue that I've summoned you here for. I will be expanding recruitment of the various armies by a great scale. All of you who were part of the original force shall become leaders in the new army, with near thousands of troops under your banner. Are you ready for this task?"
The hearts of everyone here thumped, even the deadly sins. From the way Dante described it, they were about to wield power that they could not even have fathomed in their wildest dreams.
"You won't be deployed immediately. To recruit and convert the troops needed to bolster our forces, it will take time, more than a year at least. For now, each and everyone of you are to return to base in the Eternal Universe and prepare to undergo special training," Dante doused their imminent desire with a smile.
After dismissing them, he turned to Beatrice and smiled. "Us too. It's time to head into the Immortal World and begin our path of power."
"I've personally been looking forward to it ever since you formed your Origin Core. If I refine enough immortal energy from that quantum world, I can substitute the Legendary Super Saiyan physique to use as a catalyst and form my own Origin Core," Beatrice stated her plan as a glint shone in her eye.
"Oh? That's actually pretty smart. As expected of my Beatrice, your IQ is only surpassed by the size of your booty," Dante teased her as he pulled on her jacket playfully.
"Hmph, do you expect me to be shy? Yes, I have a big butt, and my husband loves it, so I love it! What's it to you?" Beatrice snorted and got up, shaking her waist in a tantalizing motion with a provocative smile.
Of course, poor Dante could not stand such temptation. Even with the Libido Seed gone, he still had full confidence that he could subdue Beatrice using his Origin Energy to supplement his body.
As such, he rose to his feet and took off his own jacket calmly, wearing a tight-fitting t-shirt that highlighted his extremely muscular yet compact body that had been forged by all his battles and tribulations.
When Dante first came to the Eternal Universe, he was about 6 feet in height, but he had grown by two inches since then, becoming 6'2". He easily towered over most men and women nowadays, but the only one who could go bar for bar with him was Beatrice, who was still 6 feet, and Portia, who was almost 6'3".
In fact, even Augeus was 6'1", and David, Dante's dad, was 6 feet. Only Aileen was 5 feet, being 5'10".
Dante took down his pants, tossing them into the command chair lightly along with his jacket, revealing his elite boxers that were made of high-tech nanobots that were previously personally customized using Nanite Resonance.
Being the number 1 being of two universes, you didn't expect Dante to wear boxers with holes in them, did you? Not to mention, neither he nor Beatrice excreted anymore since they absorbed energy directly using the Concoction of Absorption, meaning there was no wastage nor waste products to expel.
Seeing Dante strip, Beatrice immediately felt excitement surge throughout her body, which presented itself as a rosy hue on her cheeks and around her erogenous zones. Her clothes were still the very conservative type, but as she also began slowly removing them one by one, her voluptuous body that could make incubi drool was revealed.
Eventually, she was only left with a rather loose black t-shirt and her underwear, which was also customized by Dante personally, made of similar nanites using his former superpower. Dante could only look at her and place his arms akimbo, his young master standing at the ready.
His special underwear naturally made way for the organ, allowing it to stand firm without obstruction while receding into Dante's skin, ready to come out and cover him in seconds should he need them to.
On the other side, Beatrice also stood with arms akimbo, her hard nipples on display as her gravity-defying breasts bounced eagerly, awaiting the touch of desire. Her legs visibly quivered, a glint of reflected light shining on her thighs as a small line of wetness emerged from her crotch and went all the way down.
The two had a small smile playing on each other's lips, enjoying the feeling of posturing in front of each other, but neither willing to make the first move easily. As for external disturbance, Beatrice had already cordoned off this area in its own unique space so even if someone entered, they would be in a different dimension from them.
"Why are you stopping? You were boasting about your enormous backside, so continue," Dante challenged Beatrice after folding his arms with a teasing smile.
"Oh? You're right. I'm going to turn around, bend over, and stand right here. Let's see what you can even do," Beatrice retorted as she did as she said, leaning into the chair and arching her back upwards.
At this moment, Dante understood clearly that he had lost. The sight of the pristine round melons that jiggled at the slightest movement due to how soft they were, coupled with the sight of the ever-beckoning slit that was glistening with juices, had him fold immediately.
To resist this, one needed the will of iron and a soul of steel, both of which Dante did not have. As such, he immediately appeared before this magnificent sight and knelt down. He placed both of his thick palms on both of the peaches before him, intending to grasp it but not having enough hands to do so.
This saddened and excited Dante, a confusing mixture most men would understand. He didn't rush into heading towards the main course right away but planned to savor this time with his wife as they hardly had energy for foreplay due to the Libido Seed previously.
Now that he was back to normal, Dante wanted to experience Beatrice like never before.
