I am the God of Technology

Chapter 341 Dante's Law

?"No! I DON'T ACCEPT THIS!" Lara roared, but there was nothing she could do at this point.

Dante walked over and struck her in the gut with his full strength backed by the power of his new origin law suit. This naturally caused Lara to gasp in agony as she spat out everything contained within her stomach, which wasn't much but just gastric juice and saliva.

Dante grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and teleported away, disappearing from the view of the masses. The overall fight was short and intense, but it was one that would never be forgotten by the denizens of this universe for years to come.

Many fell to their asses in the virtual reality space, especially those with stronger souls and perception who felt the threat of death more than the normal people with unremarkable abilities.

They were fully aware that whatever the reason for the fight, they had almost been casualties of war if not for Dante protecting them. That fact was all they needed to understand the morality of Lara and Dante regardless of the reasons behind their fight.

As for Dante, he returned to the estate on Planet Etonia and threw Lara into his quantum space. He then dispersed the amazing suit of armor he coalesced, revealing the normal him whose brow was matted with sweat and was crazily rubbing his temples.

"Ow, ow, ow…" he kept muttering under his breath, wincing from the mere act of thinking.

Outwardly, he might be acting like there was nothing much wrong but a simple headache, but within his soul space, the entire realm was quaking roughly. The various colors were now raging about crazily, causing cracks to form at multiple places.

The core of his soul was protected by Weaver the Soul Beast as usual, and Dante fed him a continuous flow of origin energy to maintain the defense. Meanwhile, Etz Chaim was woken up again by the commotion and was glancing at the result of Dante's actions speechlessly.

"Why can't I sleep for just one year without something happening?!" Etz Chaim muttered with exasperation.

As for Dante, he glanced at the troublesome colors and then slowly began to expel them from his soul space using the main gate, forcibly removing their affinity and influence on him permanently.

This caused Etz Chaim to be curious as she floated over to Dante's soul projection and watched him work for a bit before asking the question that was on her mind.

"Hey, what's the point of this? I don't know much about that cultivation rubbish you were on, but it seemed like it was on the right track mostly. Why are you undoing everything?"

Dante smiled. "I was only borrowing its theories to find my own path, like you said, the cultivation method is limited in many ways even though it's closest to the truth. Right now, I've mostly achieved my goal, so it's time to clean house."

"Huh? What goal?" Etz Chaim was still confused.

"The point of that realm was to connect to the outside world and let the influence of laws pervade one's soul space and leave its influence to build affinity. Cultivators at that realm can't actually control laws the way I do because their energy source is still inferior until they become Golden Immortals with perfected Golden Immortal Energy, which is a type of inferior Origin Energy subset."

"Then when a cultivator tries to break through to the Immortal King realm, they must now try to select one of the many laws that have stained their soul space over this period of time to be their main, so they power it with their energy and have it slowly expel the others out. This is usually very dangerous and painful for them, similar to what I am going through, and many fail here despite having great talents."

Dante gestured to the colors that were being 'deported' from his soul space in a single file along the bridge with slumped shoulders as if all hope was lost. "But I took a different path from the start. I only wanted to familiarize myself with controlling Origin Laws so I let them in, but I've already picked the Origin Law I want to coalesce into my Origin Power, so it's time for them to go."

"Uh… huh." Etz Chaim clearly did not understand much, but she was left speechless at the sight of entire origin laws being forcibly 'escorted' out of Dante's soul like bad children.

"Right, so which Origin Law have you chosen?" Etz Chaim asked as she folded her arms with interest.

Dante rubbed his chin as he manifested the greyish-blue origin law he had used to defeat Lara, which was now filling his soul space. "At first, I didn't think this law existed due to my narrow mindset towards its concept, but I was surprised to find it actually did exist. Before that, I was still considering things like Time, Space, Life, Death, et cetera."

Dante then turned the origin law into a strong of words that read 'Technology'. "However, after discovering the Origin Law of Technology, how could I not take it for myself?"

"Oh? You and this technology stuff. If I remember correctly, you call yourself the God of Technology, right?" Etz Chaim said with amusement.

"Damn straight, and the Quantum Lord too. Before, it was just a title I hoped to fill the boots of one day, but now, it can really become reality. The Quantum Lord too will be achieved when I reach EX rank of Quantum Entanglement." Dante replied with a nod, no shame or shyness on his face or in his words.

Etz Chaim was rendered silent by that.

"Well, I hope you achieve all your goals and it certainly looks like you will. I'm really glad that out of all the options I had, I lucked out to choose you." Etz Chaim said with a heartfelt tone.

"Likewise, Etz. I am glad that out of all the higher-dimensional beings I could possibly be affiliated with, it's a kind and benevolent one like you." Dante reciprocated sincerely with a smile.

The two smiled at each other, before Dante continued his task at hand. The other Origin Laws were soon completely expelled from his soul space while he allowed the Origin Law of Technology to pervade his soul space completely and singularly.

Although he shrunk Weaver's area of protection, only covering the core of his consciousness and now exposing the Quantum Entanglement gate as well as the Origin Core, he was still careful. Only when the amount of the law of technology saturated his soul space did Dante close the gate towards the outside.

"Alright, here comes the moment of truth." He muttered to himself and then controlled the large amount of the untamed and mist-like law of technology in its entirety.

With a sudden closure of his palm, the entirety of this mist-

like mass congealed into one tiny spot, causing the entire soul space to quake once more.

Dante could not seek help from anyone as his forehead in reality began to be filled with sweat and even his soul projection handling the world was extremely shaky. However, even using Origin Energy was not helpful because the process of gaining an Origin Power was not reliant on it.

As Etz Chaim said, an Origin God required two things, an Origin Power and an Origin Source Energy, which was basically an Origin Core. One could acquire one before the other and become half an Origin God, like the current Dante.

So it didn't matter which one you got first, both could be achieved without the other. In fact, many beings that miraculously ascended usually condensed an Origin Power before the Origin Core since that was actually slightly harder, which was why Etz Chaim was so shocked previously.

Currently, the method for Dante to achieve this was to turn the universe-level Origin Law of Technology into his personal power, his own Origin Power. This meant that he couldn't be borrowing the law from outside through a hole in his soul space all the time, but like his Origin Core, he had to produce it automatically internally.

Origin Gods produced everything internally and from seemingly nothing, not relying on other external sources. This was why the gap between them and nearest power level in any power system was so great.

There were many ways to get an origin power, but Dante was using a relatively safe and sensible method of taking an Origin Law, cutting it off from the source and then condensing it into a single point in the smallest unit that would start to propagate and replicate itself endlessly.

This usually had medium-low returns for a new Origin God and many would likely aspire for more difficult methods like raw comprehension or even seizing, but Dante technically did not even need to do all of this.

If he reached EX Quantum Entanglement, he would directly become an Eternal with a literal authority that surpassed the power of many Eternals in existence, going from nothing to one of the top 3 in the entire multiverse.

All of this was just his own personal ambition to seek power that was personal to him. After all, authority that was given could also be taken away, but any Origin Power he condensed would be his permanently.
