Chapter 188 Quantum Clone and Quantum Replication

Chapter 188 Quantum Clone and Quantum Replication

Naturally, what else would he choose but Quantum Clone for his base ability upgrade path and Quantum Replication for his new sub-ability.

Dante could list many reasons for his choices, but it simply came down to the fact that both of these choices ticked more boxes in his goals list than the others within the same category.

(A/N: Check chapter 163 for the goals list.)

The moment Dante made his choices, he felt a surge of knowledge and power encode itself into his very being, at a place deeper than his soul, spirit, body, or mind. It was as if superpowers were linked to one's very existence. novE(lB)In

Just like his previous abilities, there wasn't much to it except instinctively knowing how to use these abilities. However, unlike any superpower in existence, the potency of Dante's Quantum Entanglement abilities - whether main or sub - were not based on his stats.

Dante looked at the resplendent tree in the distance and understood that this was like a phone with a data cable connected to a PC. His superpower was the phone, and the tree was the PC, able to supply 'data' - which were the powerful abilities - as well as 'power' through the cable.

No wonder even with his crappy stats he could teleport between universes. Imagine the energy consumed by Dante every time he casually ported back and forth, moving through the void between universes for an unknown distance.

Even if he had 10 million stats in all fields, he might not be able to provide the needed energy even if he sucked himself dry. Not even the explosion of a million stars could supply enough energy for such travel, not to mention keeping the quantum tunnel stable for the ransomer while making it instantaneous rather than take hundreds of millions of millennia.

If you were a scientifically-minded person, the more you thought about Dante's ability, even just the base one, the more you would pull out your hair at the sheer calculations and requirements needed for it to work.

But now, the answer was clear, Dante had a sugar mama... er, a sugar higher-dimensional being? Something like that.

Of course, the universal rule was that there was never a free lunch and there was always a price to pay, but Dante didn't want to think about that too deeply right now and give himself existential dread.

He opened his eyes as he left his soul space, and his expression became dark. The area within almost 500 meters around him had been ravaged as if a giant had bellyflopped onto the earth, or rather like an atomic bomb had been set off.

Dante was now sitting in the middle of a very deep crater. He stood up and leapt out of it simply, glancing back into the hole that was created by his breakthrough.

Dante couldn't help but think to himself that it would only get worse when he broke through to the higher ranks of Quantum Entanglement. Not to repeat what had already been said a million times, but the reason for this was likely excess energy from the tree that supplied him power.

Dante glanced around and then pondered. Apart from the changes in his superpower in terms of the new abilities, Dante found that his body had 'loosened' slightly. In other words, he could now accept one more power system in his body that originated from a quantum world.

He had no thoughts about that yet, rather casting his 1st Rank Quantum Distortion to place his body in a pocket world. Then, Dante sent his main body back into reality and left his avatar behind with his consciousness within.

On the heels of that, he activated his new main ability, Quantum Clone, and split his mind into two, one into his avatar and one to his main body. Immediately, the avatar was overlaid with his main body, meaning that it was no different than when he used his actual main body.

So even in quantum worlds where avatars could not access superpowers, Dante could still use this method to gain access to such superpowers even though it had just 10% of his main body's power.

Dante opened his eyes in two places, in reality within the pod and in the virtual world within his avatar. He was very pleased to see that this did not trigger the quantum AI for the Zero Gate World to know that he had logged out.

However, Dante immediately realized a slight problem. His quantum clone did not have its own AI chip, nor did it have his Bionics or Psionics. It just had 10% of his current stats, so 150 in all fields as well as his superpower.

However, the good news was that his superpower was not nerfed in his quantum clone. After all, power for it was supplied from somewhere else, so even if it was a replica of him, it still had the 'infinite energy'.

The clone had access to his quantum space, and both bodies could access it from anywhere at any time, even at the same time. Likewise, all his abilities were there, so the clone could place markers for both of them, teleport to any known markers, and even replicate items using his new sub-ability.

Even better was the fact that the clone had the full extent of Dante's prowess in terms of his magical methods. So despite having such low stats, it still had 3 Spiritual Cores of 500 points of Intelligence condensed into them, level 4 Gluttonous Inferno-tier hellfire, Martial Blood realm Blood Qi, and Advanced Knight Life Essence.

It also had the full Eyes of Illusion, but its effectiveness depended on his stats, just like the main body. This was certainly a lifesaver and increased the value and strength of his clone greatly.

Of course, there were limitations as well. The clone could not practice these methods to grow on its own, and its power could not be remotely 'updated' if Dante broke through. He would have to recall it and then recast it from scratch to obtain any new updates to his power and abilities.

Dante could not help but be amused. His clone with 10% of his power was more in line with fairness for the entry into the real Zero Gate for the students. He would still be a top-notch candidate, but he could be challenged by a few others reasonably.

Anyway, Dante's clone sat down in the quantum distortion and took out the remaining fruits that were from this quantum world, which were the last 3, Gem or Light, Silence, and Time.

He first held the diamond fruit that glowed, which was the assumed light or gem one and activated his quantum replication. Dante felt energy draining from his superpower that came from... somewhere as the fruit in his hand split into two on the spot, like a hyper-fast render of two cells splitting apart.

Dante's eyes narrowed as he put aside the original one and held up the replicated one. With a thought, he placed it into his quantum space and began to focus on replicating the others.

Meanwhile, Dante's main body exited the pod and glanced at Beatrice who had been rushing over in a thin nightgown after receiving an alert that Dante's body had returned to the pod.

When she saw him awake, her face changed, looking like a child that had been caught red-handed about to steal a dollar from their mom's purse for a pack of candy. Soon, she quickly fixed her expression and folded her arms.

"Oh, you're out early. I thought you said you couldn't come out for 30 days no matter what?" She asked nonchalantly.

Dante's expression darkened when he saw her like this and his heart couldn't help but feel cold. If he had been even a moment too slow, who knew what this greedy succubus would have done to him?

She was clearly an addict, a junkie addicted to his semen and the energy contained within that was biologically superior, being of a way higher grade than average humans. If he gave her the slightest chance, she would milk him dry with no remorse, and there was even a chance that she might get so 'lost in the sauce' that he would end up as a desiccated husk.

However, Dante accepted it because he secretly liked being intensely sexually desired by his partner like this not to mention that there was a certain feeling of arrogance knowing that he had the ability to drive her crazy like this.

"I found a way to avoid that. It's called becoming stronger by upgrading your awesome superpower." Dante retorted with a twitch of his lips.

"Oh? Tell me. Anything new?" Beatrice's curiosity was spiked and she quickly rushed up to him, pressing her large and soft breasts against his chest. She hugged him around his torso and looked up to his face with a smile, and Dante looked down similarly.

"Sure, here's what happened. When I entered the Zero Gate World, I first discovered that... etc." Dante began informing her of what went down after he entered the Zero gate world. Much to Beatrice's shock and delight.
