Chapter 304 The State Of Things

304 The State Of Things

"SAVE ME!!"

A weak and helpless scream came from the master bedroom of an isolated mansion in the Eternal Universe's residential area within the First Gate. Unfortunately for the one who released the cry, there was nobody nearby to come to his rescue.

His fate was sealed.

...

It was only around 8 hours later that Beatrice finally relented, not because she was satisfied, but because Dante had only a sliver of life left.

The two lay on the bed, Beatrice panting and flushed as her skin glowed with redness and vitality. She looked absolutely stunning right now, able to make even the most asexual man feel some stirring in his heart.

As for Dante, he lay on the other side, his entire body looking like a withered corpse on the verge of being turned to ash. One could not even tell he was breathing, and his usually lively golden eyes were turbid as mudwater now.

"Whew, that was tiring. We should definitely do this again, babe," Beatrice panted slightly as she began to stretch.

Dante's 'body' quivered when he heard 'do it again'. In the end, Beatrice got up to wash up and went to take care of the still-sleeping Antonia, who had slept through the storm that occurred here.

Baffl Boom! Boom!

Like tires reaching the peak of their inflation, Dante's body suddenly recovered as he filled up to his normal state, his body making explosive sounds as power returned to his form. His turbid eyes cleared up and were filled with consciousness and confusion.

"Hmm, what happened... oh." Dante pushed himself up and wondered what went on before memories came flooding back.

He then glanced at Beatrice speechlessly. "I have avoided so many traps and plots to kill me only to almost fall at the hands of my wife!"

Dante chuckled. "Now, onto business. I want to know the exact process of taking down a territory in the First Gate, from the attack, the resolution, and then the aftermath. Naturally, in the way that the Eternal Universe handles it."

"Oh. Okay. Well, normally we mark a territory down, whether it's unclaimed or claimed, we have different strategies for handling it. If it's unclaimed, we usually take down the various monsters bit by bit until we reach the Spire or the flag and then initiate the capture procedure with our most qualified personnel."

"If it's claimed, then we engage in guerrilla warfare with the universe in question, both militarily and politically, since they might try to negotiate or sue us. Sometimes we might back down because of overarching reasons, but if we do proceed, it usually involves a battle of our strongest fighters to limit casualties on both sides."

"If we do succeed in claiming a territory, we first set up a military base with androids and then slowly transport humans over. Right now, we are trying to populate the First Gate with organic humans instead of just fighters, so denizens of the universe are encouraged to have offspring here."

The Aide spoke clearly and relatively stably, having knowledge about this ingrained deep into his mind due to his work. Dante listened and nodded his head thoughtfully.

"And? What about my mother-in-law? How do you handle the process with her?" Dante asked curiously.

The Aide paused. "Er... she does whatever she wants, and we just clean up the aftermath."

"I guessed as much, but how do you populate the territories she had captured then?"

"Due to her rapid work, we have decided to use accelerated growth for natural-born offspring and even resorted to cloning as well as creating homunculi," the Aide answered with a sigh.

Dante frowned. To be pushed so far, it meant that rapid capturing was not necessarily a good thing, because any conqueror who obtained new territories needed time to stabilize andconsolidate.

The problem was that accelerated growth, cloning, and homunculi were not reliable long-term solutions. Any shortcut that existed was bound to be filled with problems, no matter how nice it looked on the outside, and these three methods were full of them.

However, the Eternal Universe and the Supreme Council knew this, of course; they were not stupid. Otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to it now and would have been doing it since day 1.

Dante thought about this and realized that it would be an issue for both the Centralis and Eternal universes unless he could find a stable solution for it. He also wanted to rapidly conquer and consolidate in order to earn Spire Points, but he didn't want to be reckless about it.

Looking at it now, his A Rank Custom Entanglement granted him one more spot for a power system, but he had not yet decided to fill it up because he was already saturated with powers at the moment.

Hm, just as well, a new issue had cropped up. What Dante needed now was a power system or ability that would allow people to remotely gain exemplary reproduction ability that could give birth to talented offspring that grew extremely fast until adulthood.

He did have a few ideas for the exact process. The ambient Zero Energy in this world was useless to those without superpowers, and these offspring born may or may not have superpowers.

So rather than waste it, why not allow them to rampantly absorb the ambient energy as a catalyst for their growth, allowing them to grow fast without any hidden dangers orpenalties?
