nDante’s eyes fell on the group of new sub-abilities, and his breathing couldn’t help but become rough. It had already been a recurring trend that the new sub-abilities became even crazier and more unhinged with each upgrade, but this was ridiculous!
nThe first one, Quantum Ascendant Bond, was perfect for him and Beatrice. He could immediately share everything about him, his powers, his superpower, and even his great fortune with her, turning her from a semi-daughter of heaven to a transcendental being with a traceless fate.
nJust for this… just for this particular fact, Dante was strongly considering this ability over many others. His feelings towards Beatrice grew every moment he spent with her to the point that he never wanted to part with such a perfect woman.
nBeing able to grow with her until their natural fates petered off was extremely attractive to the current Dante.
nQuantum Eternity was awesome but infringed on the one aspect that Dante disliked the most, which was eternal life. He was still not even 30 years old, and with his current stats, his lifespan would be counted in epochs of the universe.
nThis already troubled him greatly, and he planned to deal with it as it came, but eternal life did not appeal to him. As for being free of the constraints of time and space, he already sort of had those abilities, and he had not yet reached the point where they would be crucial, so this ability was not useful in any way.
nIn the end, Dante shook his head and decided to put this ability out of his list of final choices.
nQuantum Universe was a breath of fresh air that upgraded on everything that the previous Quantum World power had once offered but upped the ante to an unimaginable degree. A whole separate universe that had the malleable rules of a quantum world as well as the ‘official stamp’ of a real universe as well as the ability to let all the rules within exist in the real world without any intermediaries.
nThe whole reason why Dante could not give the Concoction of Absorption to Beatrice or Portia, or the Libido Seed to the denizens of both universes under his control was that no one would ‘register’ and ‘sponsor’ those abilities.
nThe Cosmic Tree said, “Forget that, it only cared about Dante and those directly affiliated with Dante, like the summoned beasts. However, all others were not in its purview, and even though the source items for the power systems were replicated, the two universes that Dante had ‘stamps’ for had never supported power systems directly from replication, only registered them. 𝑖.𝘤ℴ𝘮
nSo Dante needed a sponsor, and the Quantum Universe could solve that problem, and that was the least of its uses as well as its possibilities.
nQuantum Singularity Mastery, just like Quantum Eternity, fell into the category of abilities that Dante did not need nor consider in the least. He did not need any attacking capabilities, especially when there were succulent options like Quantum Ascendant Bond and Quantum Universe.
nReally, if he wanted more attacking power, he could just find a new power system to play with; there were millions of them out there. This was not even considering the fact that he already had Balcko, the Oblivion Beast who could create event horizons on demand.
nIt was precisely to avoid having to make such redundant choices that Dante chose Balcko back then.
nQuantum Blessing was like a more versatile version of Quantum Ascendant Bond where instead of sharing everything within a person intensely, it allowed him to give portions to a wide number of beings.
nThere was no limit to the number of people he could sponsor, but the limit was that he would be the one sponsoring them, not the Cosmic Tree. Even the tree, through the choice list, warned him that this requires a lot of power, and Dante assumed that this meant stats?
nThis made sense since Dante wanted to create armies, but with 200,000, if he said he wanted to create 9th rank mages with 2,000 Intelligence, which was the base for that rank, he could only theoretically create a hundred.
nIf it wasn’t for the fact that he had the Eyes of Illusion to rewrite allegiances and his Hellfire Demon technique that could achieve this effect without him having to bear the cost, he might consider it. .𝒎
nNevertheless, he did not see the need to grant others his specific powers apart from hellfire demons, which was ironically why the hellfire demon army was the smallest of the group. After all, he much rather focus on Beatrice than random people.
nQuantum Ascension was an upped version of the former Quantum Bestowment that Dante once craved, which allowed him to bestow individuals with the ability to resist quantum poisoning and adopt certain power systems.
nHowever, this S-rank version directly gave semi-quantum bodies, the exact physique his daughter had, which made her so special. He could only give this to up to 10 targets since they would be sponsored by the Cosmic Tree, and the higher-dimensional entity wanted to limit the number of leeches for good reasons.
nDante alternatively could grant some out of those ten slots to quantum beings, allowing them to ascend out of quantum worlds and come to reality along with their native powers. It was entirely possible to go and convince Goku, Vegeta, Whis, or Beerus to come here and assist him in some way if he brought them to reality, and they would retain all that nonsensical power.
nFor that alone, it had great utility and was marked by Dante for further consideration.
nQuantum Servants was an alternative to Quantum Blessing that allowed him to turn any real or quantum being into a quantum servant that was loyal only to him. That being would retain all their native powers as well as their abilities and could use some of Dante’s quantum entanglement abilities, but the burden would now fall onto the servant.
nHow much they could use depended on their own power and ability, which could be quite useful or useless depending on the beings chosen. What limited this ability was the fact that he could not force anyone to become a quantum servant but rather had to genuinely make them accept the change.
nDante was not a master of talk-no-jutsu, so he discarded this ability. Even if he could use the eyes of illusion to rewrite a person into wanting to take the blessing, the eyes only worked on those weaker than him in the first place.
nHow could someone weaker than him bear the crazy power of quantum entanglement?
nQuantum Cosmic Absorption was another useless ability. It allowed Dante to do what he wanted to do greatly a while back, which was to absorb energy from all quantum sources and use it for what he wanted, even freely distribute it to others.
nWell, he now had the Concoction of Absorption, so energy was not a problem anymore. Even if he wanted this ability to give it to others, Gluttonous Inferno could also do this, only that because hellfire was evil in alignment, it would not exactly bode well for the receiver if they were not of the same alignment.
nThen again, Beatrice’s counterpart ability to Gluttonous Inferno, Compassionate Luminescence, had no such qualms and could be given to others while even attacking blessings and benefits onto them.
nSo no, this one was out.
nQuantum Restoration was one that Dante definitely pinned as useful and very necessary. The ability to heal everything short of death was extremely broken and nonsensical. He could even repair damaged laws, universes, and the like, so there would be nothing like ‘hurr durr, this realm underwent some BIG war in the past and now everything is shattered!’ because he could literally cast his special domain expansion skill: fix this bull**!
nThe utility of this skill, paired with Quantum Revival he took from the previous upgrade, was limitless. He and those on his side would be like unkillable cockroaches, able to wear any foe down until they begged for mercy.
nDante definitely, definitely favored this one greatly.
nFinally, there was Quantum Universal Arbiter… which was the most useless of them all. Dante did not need to become a judge of the universe because he was not some savior who looked to bring righteousness everywhere he went.
nHe was just an ambitious young man who did not know the immensity of the heavens and earth, greedily wanting things no one else even dared to covet and using his set of powers that could cause great trouble to… cause great trouble.
nHow did someone like this sound like he would make a good arbiter?
nBe honest cosmic tree, you ran out of ideas huh?
nNot surprising though, when it offered something like Quantum Eternity, which basically made him a Celestial God, basically what every cultivator in existence hoped to become.
nAnd this was just the S Rank upgrade.
nThere was SS, SSS, and EX to go.
n…whew, just thinking about it made one feel worry for the safety of the grand universe!
