I am the God of Technology

304 The State Of Things

"SAVE ME!!"

A weak and helpless scream came from the master bedroom of an isolated mansion in the Eternal Universe's residential area within the First Gate. Unfortunately for the one who released the cry, there was nobody nearby to come to his rescue.

His fate was sealed.

...

It was only around 8 hours later that Beatrice finally relented, not because she was satisfied, but because Dante had only a sliver of life left.

The two lay on the bed, Beatrice panting and flushed as her skin glowed with redness and vitality. She looked absolutely stunning right now, able to make even the most asexual man feel some stirring in his heart.

As for Dante, he lay on the other side, his entire body looking like a withered corpse on the verge of being turned to ash. One could not even tell he was breathing, and his usually lively golden eyes were turbid as mudwater now.

"Whew, that was tiring. We should definitely do this again, babe," Beatrice panted slightly as she began to stretch.

Dante's 'body' quivered when he heard 'do it again'. In the end, Beatrice got up to wash up and went to take care of the still-sleeping Antonia, who had slept through the storm that occurred here.

Baffl Boom! Boom!

Like tires reaching the peak of their inflation, Dante's body suddenly recovered as he filled up to his normal state, his body making explosive sounds as power returned to his form. His turbid eyes cleared up and were filled with consciousness and confusion.

"Hmm, what happened... oh." Dante pushed himself up and wondered what went on before memories came flooding back.

He then glanced at Beatrice speechlessly. "I have avoided so many traps and plots to kill me only to almost fall at the hands of my wife!"

Beatrice had a hint of shame on her face, but she still stubbornly replied: "Well, you're fine now, aren't you? Besides, this was probably just a one-time thing because we were both pent up for so long."

Dante had a strong feeling that this would not be a one-time thing but a recurring problem. In the end, he decided to find a power system that could arbitrarily enhance his libido, otherwise, he really might be killed by her.

His stats did not matter in this case, no matter how high he raised them. After all, the amount of energy and power he released from his body during climax was proportional to his total stat value, not based on the average human stat value.

It basically meant that Dante's sexual stamina at 200,000 in all fields was the same as when he was at 1 in all fields, the only difference was the quality of the sex itself. If he wanted to go longer, that either required external means like medication, discipline, and training like professional pornstars, or special means like what he was considering.

Anyway, Dante put the thought aside and decided to put on his usual vice admiral's uniform, which had undergone some changes in this time. It was less like a uniform now and more like a casual outfit.

Dante had also toned down the yellow colors and added some more black and red to the mix.

Beatrice glanced over and couldn't help but laugh to herself that Dante truly was a typical guy, not even caring much about his fashion when with his family and friends.

Dante waited a bit for his summoned beasts to return before recalling them. They all seemed happier and full of life after having a bit of fun outside, except Levi, who had been used as a simp by Dorothy after realizing that he wasn't going to go away.

When Dante collected them, he glanced at Beatrice askance, who was doing her hardest not to look at him by pretending to focus on Antonia. He rolled his eyes and teleported away, which made Beatrice heave a sigh of relief.

She did have a guilty look on her face, but when she thought about the benefits... the look of guilt disappeared and was replaced by evil.

Meanwhile, Dante had chosen to appear in the administrative center of the Eternal Universe. He sat down on a nearby couch while waiting for his assigned aide to rush over from his mansion area to here.

When the fellow came over, he was panting and seemed fatigued. After all, due to the reputation of Dante and Beatrice, he did not dare to sleep in case they needed him at any point in time.

Dante saw this and frowned. He cast a 3rd Rank Restoration spell on the fellow, making him perk up as all his tiredness and fatigue disappeared, both mentally and physically. He now looked like someone who had been given a 5-star spa and massage treatment.

"Sir Dante, what do you need?" he asked quickly, not wanting to waste time.

"Don't rush, calm down. I'm not going to bully you, and next time, if I summon you when you're far away, please don't run on your two feet. Use a transport or jet thrusters to come over," Dante replied with amusement.

The young fellow flushed with embarrassment. He had practically booked it here like he was on steroids, which made him realize that in hindsight, he could have adopted much better methods and not made himself look like a hasty lad in front of his employer of sorts.

'Yes..." That was all he could mutter in response to that.

Dante chuckled. "Now, onto business. I want to know the exact process of taking down a territory in the First Gate, from the attack, the resolution, and then the aftermath. Naturally, in the way that the Eternal Universe handles it."

"Oh. Okay. Well, normally we mark a territory down, whether it's unclaimed or claimed, we have different strategies for handling it. If it's unclaimed, we usually take down the various monsters bit by bit until we reach the Spire or the flag and then initiate the capture procedure with our most qualified personnel."

"If it's claimed, then we engage in guerrilla warfare with the universe in question, both militarily and politically, since they might try to negotiate or sue us. Sometimes we might back down because of overarching reasons, but if we do proceed, it usually involves a battle of our strongest fighters to limit casualties on both sides."

"If we do succeed in claiming a territory, we first set up a military base with androids and then slowly transport humans over. Right now, we are trying to populate the First Gate with organic humans instead of just fighters, so denizens of the universe are encouraged to have offspring here."

The Aide spoke clearly and relatively stably, having knowledge about this ingrained deep into his mind due to his work. Dante listened and nodded his head thoughtfully.

"And? What about my mother-in-law? How do you handle the process with her?" Dante asked curiously.

The Aide paused. "Er... she does whatever she wants, and we just clean up the aftermath."

"I guessed as much, but how do you populate the territories she had captured then?"

"Due to her rapid work, we have decided to use accelerated growth for natural-born offspring and even resorted to cloning as well as creating homunculi," the Aide answered with a sigh.

Dante frowned. To be pushed so far, it meant that rapid capturing was not necessarily a good thing, because any conqueror who obtained new territories needed time to stabilize andconsolidate.

The problem was that accelerated growth, cloning, and homunculi were not reliable long-term solutions. Any shortcut that existed was bound to be filled with problems, no matter how nice it looked on the outside, and these three methods were full of them.

However, the Eternal Universe and the Supreme Council knew this, of course; they were not stupid. Otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to it now and would have been doing it since day 1.

Dante thought about this and realized that it would be an issue for both the Centralis and Eternal universes unless he could find a stable solution for it. He also wanted to rapidly conquer and consolidate in order to earn Spire Points, but he didn't want to be reckless about it.

Looking at it now, his A Rank Custom Entanglement granted him one more spot for a power system, but he had not yet decided to fill it up because he was already saturated with powers at the moment.

Hm, just as well, a new issue had cropped up. What Dante needed now was a power system or ability that would allow people to remotely gain exemplary reproduction ability that could give birth to talented offspring that grew extremely fast until adulthood.

He did have a few ideas for the exact process. The ambient Zero Energy in this world was useless to those without superpowers, and these offspring born may or may not have superpowers.

So rather than waste it, why not allow them to rampantly absorb the ambient energy as a catalyst for their growth, allowing them to grow fast without any hidden dangers orpenalties?
