Chapter 356 Beatrice’s Excursion
Chapter 356 Beatrice's Excursion
Lara Sanguis had an expression of incredulity, as if she had seen the most absurd thing in her life. Her attention was no longer on the Supreme Mecha or her people but solely on Dante's omni-clone, which had spawned here.
"How can it be? How could there possibly be an Origin God in lower-dimensional space?" She asked with shock, sizing Dante up and down.
After all, it was impossible for such beings to descend according to the rules Luka set; otherwise, lower-dimensional space would have become the plaything of the various higher-dimensional beings who were bored.
The option higher-dimensional Origin Gods had was to completely seal their Origin Power and origin core then reincarnate into the lower-dimensional space as a lower-dimensional being, but that was too risky.
Unlike the Forest Fairies who had the favor and blessing of Myra on them, making them more likely to be favored by the Universe's Will and luck in general, all other Origin Gods would face hostility and be filled with misfortune upon trying this method.
Clearly, Dante was not a forest fairy since he was male, and forest fairies were female only. This could only mean that Dante was a genuine lower-dimensional being that had ascended to an Origin God on his own, which was something that Lara found hard to believe.
It had nothing to do with her usual prejudice but went against common sense. This was why Etz Chaim was also flabbergasted and would not have believed it had she not seen it. Dante did not yet realize how absurd his accomplishment was.
"No need to droop your mouth so much," Dante commented casually and flicked a finger, activating his Quantum Nullification Field.
Lara's expression displayed alarm as she found her powers and authorities cut off immediately, leading her to even greater dismay. She could sense that Dante was using some sort of authority that superseded hers to restrict her own which was too weak right now.
What made her expression become ugly was that she recognized this authority, for her main body had used it precisely to create the Zero and First Gates as well as generate her clones and let them fill all universes without suffering the penalty.
"How does a mere Origin God like you have access to this authority?" She asked with a cold expression.
Dante rolled his eyes. "I have been asked this same question more than a billion times by now, all from you. Are you really not that original?"
He did not have time nor energy to banter with this random clone at the moment as he was dealing with countless others around the multiverse at this moment.
Dante simply teleported behind Lara and slapped a hand on her back, placing his Quantum Marker on her and activating Quantum Seize. The clone showed intense struggle on her face - which went to show how powerful her soul and origins were - but eventually became frozen in place and completely lethargic.
Dante easily collected her into his quantum space, placing her around the section in which he had cordoned off for the now millions of Lara clones who were either freshly being sent in or had been sent in only a few moments ago.
The original two clones who had gotten comfortable with each other and had even been discussing plans were left speechless to see so many of their compatriots being sent over like this.
The quantum space became silent as the clones all gazed at each other, their expressions becoming grave as they realized the magnitude of the issue even as more of them were being sent in.
Meanwhile, Dante's omni-clone in the Nova Universe sighed with relief and was about to dissipate when he noticed the shell-shocked Commander Keira.
"Huh? Levi, is she what I think she is?" Dante murmured to himself.
"Yes, she is a Forest Fairy of the same rank as your ex-lover," Levi stated after a casual glance from within Dante's soul space.
Dante's forehead creased. "We were not lovers, just friends with benefits."
Levi sneered and looked away. "Well, if you say so. I am a Truth Beast; I am literally obligated to say the objective truth, even if some people don't like to hear it."
Dante pursed his lips but could not rebut that. In the end, he glanced at Commander Keira and placed a quantum marker on her as well, seizing her but not putting her into his quantum space since she wouldn't survive.
Rather, he used Quantum Entanglement to send her along with this clone back to the Eternal Universe where Dante was currently relaxing with his family, not training or doing any work at all.
When the omni-clone appeared and placed the controlled Keira in one of the rooms in the mansion on Planet Etonia, it dissipated as its job was done. The main Dante glanced towards the room from the one he was in but made no movement to check anything.
However, Beatrice's eyes narrowed as she stood up. Antonia and Dante were surprised by her sudden action, but seeing the seriousness on her face, they knew Beatrice was about to do something very… questionable.
"I'll be right back," Beatrice said with a sweet smile that looked like a thorny rose, causing Dante and Antonia to shiver internally.
Beatrice used quantum entanglement to leave, making Antonia sigh with relief. She then leaned onto Dante and asked him the question that was bothering her. "Daddy… why did mommy leave?"
Dante patted her little head gently and tried his best to explain it. "Well… she has some misgivings about things I did in the past but doesn't want to bring it up. However, she now has a reason to deal with those things once and for all."
Antonia seemed interested in this, as if sensing some gossip. "What did you do that mommy doesn't like?"
"Uh… you're too young to know about this stuff. Let's go back to watching Tom and Jerry, dear," Dante changed the topic because he didn't want to go down that rabbit hole right now.
Antonia was naturally not happy about this, but Dante did not budge on the issue no matter what she did, so she could only forcefully bury her curiosity.
Meanwhile, Beatrice appeared in the room where Commander Keira was and unfroze her from the Quantum Seize ability. This caused the woman to return to her senses, displaying shock because even though she had been rendered immobile, she was still capable of thought.
She had just seen the arguably strongest being of her universe be captured with ease, like a human catching a snail, and had been taken away as well. She still had not been given even a second to digest all that she had seen and experienced so far, so she was clearly still overwhelmed.
Beatrice patted her on the shoulder with a fake friendly smile. "You're one of her kind, huh? Interesting. I hope you can lead me to her, since we have some things we have to settle once and for all."
Commander Keira was speechless. "One of whose kind? Lead you to whom?"
Beatrice was surprised and then sized this woman up. "Oh, you so haven't awakened. Then you must be very confused about everything. Sit down and let's help clear up your doubts then, consider it me being generous."
Commander Keira hesitated and then sat down slowly, looking at Beatrice expectantly. Beatrice chuckled and did the same, crossing her legs in a lady-like manner before explaining toKeira what she was and why she was in this situation.
"Huh?" Beatrice exclaimed in surprise, noticing that Commander Keira's eyes had glazed over as if remembering something. Immediately, a wave of orange light appeared around her that was stained with a deep green color.
However, this orange light was soon suppressed and dissipated, causing Commander Keira to come back to her senses as she shook her head.
"That was weird… am I really… a forest fairy?" She muttered uncertainly.
Beatrice clapped her hands and stood up. "Doesn't matter, as long as I think you are. Come on, we're going hunting for one of your sisters."
Commander Keira didn't have a chance to refute before being grabbed by Beatrice and taken through a quantum tunnel that led to the Centralis Universe. Once here, Beatrice let go and left Commander Keira in the middle of space as the woman quickly activated her power to prevent herself from being killed by the void.
The difference was that this time, the blue outline that Commander Keira usually manifested was flecked with a layer of green that had small orange lights within, making her seem like some multicolored LED light.
She noticed that her power felt leagues stronger than before, at least 10 times more powerful. The current her could easily have soloed her entire universe and even defeated the invaders that ruined Planet Corvinus with ease, Keira realized.
However, when she raised her head to glance at Beatrice, Keira's rising thoughts of rebellion were swept away. She felt like if she herself were like a nuclear power plant, then Beatrice was like the sun.
