Chapter 246 Unrecognizable Wasteland

Dante crossed the threshold and felt himself being sucked through space through a channel that felt eerily similar to the quantum tunnels he often used to cross universes. Could it be that the Zero Gate world was actually physically located outside the universe?

While Dante was thinking of this in transit, he felt himself cross some form of barrier and knew that he was about to land. However, just as he was about to arrive, he felt a tearing force act on his body as he was forcibly sucked into another tunnel.

Usually, a person would not even be able to feel what was happening in transit since they did not have high enough stats to comprehend things at this travel speed as well as the fact that they were not used to quantum transportation.

Obviously, Dante with both his stats and his frequent traveling was able to comprehend all this and more. He could tell that he had been taken into another quantum tunnel that led to a different place and this quantum tunnel was far more hostile than before.

If the previous quantum tunnel was like a residential street, mostly quiet and very stable, this one was like an active highway, very unstable and dangerous. Dante tried to activate his quantum entanglement to pull him out and return him to his home universe, but it was rebuffed by a stronger force, causing him to spit blood.

Eventually, Dante was ejected from the quantum tunnel in mid-air, barely having time to adjust his body as he fell towards the ground like a meteor.

BANG!!!

Dante crashed into the earth and dug a deep ravine for almost 5 kilometers straight, showing how fast he had been moving. If he had not cloaked his body in blood Qi at the last second, he might have become the equivalent of roadkill, with parts of his body left behind at different parts of the ditch.

As it were, Dante's eyes were bloodshot from the sheer agony he was in now. Every single part of his body was broken and bruised, making him look like a cartoon character that had been beaten up until their bones poked out of various orifices.

What might amuse children on television was a horrifying sight to behold in reality and even more terrifying to think of what the person in question was feeling.

Dante barely had the state of might to activate his well of life essence to course through his body and activate its healing effect. If before he felt like his Knight Breathing powers were not very useful, now he was thanking the stars he had not neglected it at all.

With every circulation, his broken body forcefully snapped into place and his various injuries began to heal themselves, which was another painful process that he had. He could not turn off his five senses because he needed to sense whether his bones had been repaired in the right way lest he mess something up.

After about 5 minutes, Dante breathed out and pressed his arms to the ground, pushing his body up into a standing position, wobbling on the spot weakly. He immediately released his spirit sense around him for 2.5 kilometers in all directions to gauge his surroundings.

To his surprise, he was in a wasteland with brownish-black earth.

Dante immediately understood one fact. He was NOT in the Zero Gate world, at least, not in the one he should be in. The entirety of the world he should be in would be forest and full of life, otherwise, the trees could not grow without the necessary vitality.

There was no space nor place for a wasteland like this, and this was an established fact. In the hundreds of thousands of Zero Gate expeditions that the Eternal Universe had undergone, no one had ever encountered this.

However, what confused Dante was that, even though he was certain this was not the Zero Gate world, there was an abundance of Zero Energy around. In fact, the quantity and quality were far higher than in the Zero Gate world, at least compared to the quantum worlds he had been in.

Dante continued to ponder until he felt a sharp threat of death envelop him so strongly that he felt like he was encased in ice. Immediately, he activated his Bionics and Psionics at full capacity, raising his stats to 250,000 in all fields.

His blood battle halberd appeared in hand as he swung in front of his in a defensive posture.

CLANG!

Dante was sent flying again, crashing through the ground for about 200 meters before getting up. He was shocked by the sheer force in which he was struck and looked at his attack, only to be shocked that it was a bird-like creature that resembled a vulture.

The creature flapped its wings and landed on the ground, glancing at Dante with red eyes full of human-like intelligence. It then observed the gully that he had created and seemed to be impressed.

It then glanced at Dante once more and raised a single wing before swinging it forward, sending a bevy of sharp feathers towards Dante. Dante immediately released his hellfire in his domain of 2.5 kilometers.

That's right, he had switched off his enhancements and was even doubly sure that this was not the Zero Gate world because technology should not work there. The energy consumption of 250,000 points was terrifying, almost turning him into a dried husk after a few seconds.

Without Gluttonous Inferno to sustain him, Dante really did not know how he would survive. No wonder Beatrice at 20,000 in all fields, was also so detached and lazy. She could not afford to be energetic because where would she get her energy from?

The feathers that entered the fiery domain were soon burned to ash, shocking the vulture-like creature that flung them. Meanwhile, Dante stood in place, letting his Gluttonous Inferno restore his severely depleted energy by converting the ambient Zero Energy into base energy.

Dante had taken a single hit from this monster to know that whether it was through superpowers or some other means, its stats were higher than his by a small margin, even when he was boosted to 250,000.

As such, he absolutely could NOT fight without using his enhancements and using them meant energy. Right now, he could only rely on his spirit sense domain to hopefully predict its attacks and activate the enhancements at the last moment to defend himself.

The creature glanced at Dante with a subtle look and then checked out the gully once more. It seemed to be pondering something for a moment, then flapped its wings and began to fly away.

Dante sighed with relief internally and kept the spirit sense and fire domain up to convert energy when he felt another death chill. His spirit sense domain reacted and before he could even consciously think about it, his AI chip reacted faster and activated his enhancements as Dante had commanded it to if he couldn't make it in time.

Immediately, Dante dodged to the side by moving his upper torso in a near impossible inclined position, narrowly avoiding the talons of the vulture-like creature that had sneak attacked him.

He glanced at the air where the monster had been flying away and saw that it was still there for a few seconds until it faded away to the wind.

Fuck, an afterimage!

It had doubled back so fast that its previous movements were left behind as a visual illusion!

Imagine if Dante had not kept his spirit sense up and lowered his guard. His head would have been ripped off while his eyes still told him that the vulture monster was flying away, making him die without even knowing who his killer was.

Immediately, his eyes became red again from fear of demise and he decided to risk it. His eye glowed in a golden light and intersected with those of the vulture-like creature which had turned its head back to glare at Dante.

Immediately its eyes became dazed and it landed on the ground. However, this daze lasted for a few seconds before its eyes began to clear up, then intensified and began to clear up again.

Meanwhile, Dante who had activated his Psionics to boost the power of his eyes looked terrifying. His temples as well as all the veins in his head were visible and continually pulsing with energy.

The bird creature screeched with fear then began banging its head on the ground and rolling around while shrieking. Even though its eyes were in a daze, it was clear that it was fighting with all it had, even ripping out its own feathers and causing wounds on its body to break free.

Eventually, Dante was forced to stop the attack as he ran out of energy even with his Gluttonous Inferno simultaneously activated and rapidly refining energy for him, causing him to fall to his knees.

The bird-like creature that was now free flapped its wings and ran away with endless fear in its eyes. It did not dare even look at Dante anymore as it used its full speed to disappear into the horizon like a jet. n/-o.-v-/e/-L(.b(.1)-n

After all, illusion users were an absolute taboo on this battlefield!
