The first thing Dante felt was extreme clarity. Hisconnection to the Cosmic Tree grew closer once more, and he could feel its near-limitless power even more, making him realize that its power was greater than he previously imagined.

As usual, along with the growth of his superpower came a fresh list of options for his upgrade path.

A Rank Upgrade Paths for Quantum Entanglement 𝘪.𝘤𝑜𝘮

1. Quantum Singularity: Users can manipulate quantum markers to create localized singularities, which temporarily disrupt the laws of physics in the vicinity. This can result in warped spacetime, altered gravitational forces, or even bending the paths of projectiles, making them unpredictable.

2. Quantum Echo: The user can now establish a stable connection between two quantum markers placed in different dimensions, allowing for seamless travel between these realms. This offers them the ability to access unique resources, bypass obstacles, and uncover hidden knowledge within alternate dimensions.

3. Quantum Voidwalk: This upgrade grants the user the ability to enter a state of quantum voidwalking, rendering themselves undetectable by both physical and supernatural means. They can pass through barriers, evade surveillance, and move silently in and out of any location without leaving a trace.

4. Quantum Implosion: The user can now create quantum markers that implode upon contact, causing an instantaneous, devastating release of energy. This upgrade allows them to set traps, create explosive surprises, and manipulate quantum detonations with precision.

5. Quantum Omnipresence: The user can temporarily extend their consciousness to all quantum markers simultaneously, granting them an omniscient perspective and unparalleled control over their surroundings.

6. Quantum Augmentation: Users can enhance the physical and mental attributes of individuals within their marked zones. This sub-ability grants temporary boosts to strength, speed, intelligence, or other traits, depending on the user’s focus.

7. Quantum Insight: This upgrade enhances the user’s understanding of quantum entanglement, allowing them to detect and analyze any quantum disturbances in their surroundings.

8. Quantum Siphon: The user can now siphon quantum energy from their surroundings, replenishing their base energy reserves. This ability enables them to maintain prolonged control over all their powers without fatigue.

9. Quantum Lock: This ability enables the user to temporarily freeze or lock quantum markers, immobilizing objects or individuals in their entangled state.

10. Quantum Nullification Field: Users can create a nullification field around a specific marker, temporarily nullifying the superpowers and abilities of those within its radius.

A Rank New Sub-Abilities for Quantum Entanglement

1. Quantum Symbiosis: The user can establish a symbiotic connection between themselves and another being, allowing shared access to quantum markers and enhancing both parties’ abilities.

2. Quantum Reversion: With this advanced ability, the user can reverse quantum changes in objects or beings. They can repair damaged structures, revert injuries, and restore the original state of quantum systems.

3. Quantum Seer: The user can peer into quantum timelines, gaining glimpses of possible future events and making informed decisions based on quantum foresight.

4. Quantum Sovereignty: This ultimate upgrade empowers the user to establish a complete quantum realm under their control. They can manipulate quantum physics, rewrite universal laws, and shape reality within this realm, granting them god-like authority within this pocket of existence.

5. Quantum Ascension: The pinnacle of elementalization abilities, Quantum Ascension lets users transcend their physical forms. They can exist purely as quantum energy, becoming nearly omnipresent and nigh-invulnerable within 300 meters of their markers.

6. Quantum Ether: This sub-ability grants the user access to the quantum ether, a realm of pure energy where they can draw immense power for various purposes.

7. Quantum Imbuement: Users can infuse objects or individuals with quantum energy, granting them temporary superpowers or enhancements.

8. Quantum Void Gate: This advanced sub-ability lets the user open portals to the quantum void, granting access to unknown dimensions and resources.

9. Quantum Revival: In dire situations, users can tap into the quantum fabric of reality to revive themselves or others within their marked zones. This sub-ability comes at a great mental and physical cost but cannot be stopped or interrupted.

10. Quantum Erasure: This sub-ability allows the user to erase quantum entanglement connections completely, eradicating their traces and impact on reality.

Dante had thought he was past that stage where he would feel agony over decisions, especially since he had come so far and had gained so much power, but the Cosmic Tree was here to remind him that he was not that guy yet.

His eyes were completely bloodshot once more as he read and re-read the abilities offered to him. Due to the strengthened connection between him and the Cosmic Tree, the number of options had directly doubled at the A rank, but he could still only make one choice from each.

This was impossible to do because he naturally wanted them all!

If not all, then at least more than half of each category!

In the first category, he could do without Quantum Singularity, Quantum Echo, Quantum Implosion, and Quantum Siphon, but the rest spoke to him in some way.

Quantum Singularity and Quantum Implosion because they were attacking methods, and he did not need attacking methods for his superpowered abilities, but rather special esoteric methods with multiple uses.

Quantum Echo because cross-dimensional travel was useless to him at this time. Quantum Siphon would have been an instant get if he hadn’t already put his final power system as the Concoction of Absorption.

In the second category, apart from Quantum Ascension, Quantum Void Gate, and Quantum Erasure, everything else was even more intense in terms of value.

Quantum Ascension was not needed because it was a combat-based ability. Quantum Void Gate was the same as Quantum Echo; he did not need to bother with alternate dimensions at this time.

As for Quantum Erasure, it was all-around not appealing because he had yet to discover an entity that could see or interfere with his custom markers. They might exist out there, but definitely not in huge numbers and definitely not strong enough to interfere with something that was backed by the Cosmic Tree.

Dante had to rely on his usual decision-making method, checking his goals list and seeing which abilities fit him the most. This time, he naturally added Levi to the decision-making process and directly asked the Truth Beast which ability would be best for him.

Levi could only helplessly remind Dante that it could not assist him with anything regarding the Cosmic Tree. It was supplied by it but not controlled by it, and even the energy it supplied was not enough to crack its own code.

In other words, the Cosmic Tree did not mind Levi prodding and poking, but even at max power, Levi was too weak to get anything from it and anything directly attached to it, namely Dante’s main superpower. .𝒎

So it could only give its opinion based on FACTS and LOGIC.

In the end, looking at his opinions and weighing his choices, Dante could only come to terms with his reality and choose the two abilities of Quantum Nullification Field and Quantum Revival.

I mean seriously, the choices were sweet, and some of them were super cool, but when it came right down to it, anyone who understood the stakes would have made this choice in the end.

Dante felt the abilities connect to him, and he perfectly knew how to utilize and manipulate them. He sighed with lament and regret as he watched the list disappear, all the non-chosen abilities wailing like people thrown down a canyon, never to be seen again.

Levi saw Dante’s difficulty and patted him on the back with a wing. Eventually, he managed to remove himself from his wallowing and rose to his feet, checking the time. When he saw the date and there was about a month and a half left until the birth of his baby, Dante was excited yet nervous.

He knew he had to go and check on Beatrice at this time, but his knees began to clack together, and he chickened out due to anxiety. In the end, he procrastinated and decided to sort the issue of his remaining seven slots for summoned beasts first.

As such, Dante descended into the Summoner’s World once again. The routine was the same as always: he logged into the virtual avatar, brought his main body down, and then exited seclusion.

The guards were shocked by his aura, the elders rushed out; they too were shocked. They fawned over Dante, who was their Saint Child and blah blah.

Eventually, the summoning ceremony was started, and Dante went through the familiar steps he needed to pass through to enter the divine space.

This time, the Divine Beasts were ready for him, and the moment he appeared, they threw their applications over with such force that Dante was actually sent reeling.

This was actually a joint decision by all the Divine Beasts that had been rejected by the fellow. They assumed that when he came back, he would be at least a 5-star summoner, so if they bombarded him, it would knock him unconscious, which would teach him a lesson for overlooking them.

As such, they were smug when they fired it out, feeling as if all the dissatisfaction and depression in their hearts had been thoroughly vented this time. Hmph, how dare he overlook them? Were those other fellows he chose better than they were?

However, they immediately realized that something was terribly wrong. The size of Dante’s soul tether was far larger than that of a 5-star summoner. In fact, it was so large that it towered over the entire divine summoning space!

Even the chief at the back with the largest platform was now overshadowed by Dante, and it became alarmed. As for the fellows who dared to attack him, they could only look up with fear and horror on their faces.
