Chapter 311 Dante's Greed

Dante didn't expect there to be such a boon; no one had told him of this! Was it information that was kept secret to limit those who could qualify for territory capturing, or did it require something else?

"Levi?" Dante glanced inward with a blaming look.

"Pssh, my divine domain works on demand, not proactively. You have to ask questions or be in a situation where the information is absolutely necessary before I can reveal anything," Levi rolled his eyes and explained.

"Anyway, yeah, all levels of unclaimed captures reward Spire Points while claiming already captured ten-itories from other universes does not. This is done to prevent universes from ganging up on each other and provide an incentive for genuine expansion, the real point of the Universe Battlefield," Levi continued to say.

"Oh? And how is the payout calculated?" Dante asked with interest.

"10% of the Chaos Will payout," Levi answered lazily.

Huh... no wonder.

Dante realized why he had never heard about it because it didn't really matter. Most people in the First Gate who were even willing to risk it in capturing unclaimed territories would not care about a measly 10% payout.

After all, many could not even pass the basic level unless they had offensive superpowers. The advanced level was literally a hard stop since many species did not have soul powers and would be insta-koed by such a thing.

Dante himself was only safe because Weaver, the Soul Beast, defended his soul 24/7. If we were to look at it like that, the Basic level had a payout of 1 Chaos Will, which meant completing it would award one 0.1 Spire Points.

Completing the Intermediate level meant a payout of 10 Chaos Will, so 1 Spire Point for all the trouble. When Dante thought about the fact that even the Quantum Mutation Cores full of flaws could be sold for that amount, he finally understood that the Black Spire was not as black-hearted as he thought.

Anyway, his eyes lit up. With this new method, he could farm Spire Points on the side as he claimed territories, which was killing two birds with one stone. It should be known that the common method of acquiring spire points, apart from selling stuff to the spire, was to kill combatants of other universes.

Regardless of the power level, whether it was Portia-level power or Ricky-level power, it would award 1 point for the kill. So those looking to farm would naturally descend upon weaker universes and initiate a slaughter to farm, which was part of the reason why the population was such an issue despite many centuries passing.

After all, one would grow them to a certain amount only for some crazy dude to initiate a genocide-level attack and then fly off. Most universes, even top ones, were helpless about this since they could not guarantee that every being born could obtain superpowers or the strength to defend itself.

Not everyone could spit out a little monster like Antonia.This content originates from n0v3lbin•

Dante shook his head and left the spire. He contacted Ricky over the quantum network and informed him of the successful capture, which left the young man speechless.

Of course, Dante wanted more superpowers; you could never have enough of them. His power systems under Quantum Entanglement were limited to one for every Rank, so he could not always spam them.

To that end, superpowers were a solid way to gain new and useful abilities quickly. Not to mention...

Dante's eyes narrowed as he moved.

He had never forgotten about Levi's revelations about Lara. She was a higher dimensional being, an Eternal, at the peak of that level. She controlled entire authorities, things that formed the core of the universe.

When Dante heard that the whole ass creator of the universe had to beat her up and seal her, he realized just what kind of power such a being possessed and how far he was from reaching that kind of power himself.

The tntth was... Dante wanted an authority for himself!

That's right, this young man of 22 years was so greedy that he wanted what only a number lower than 5 people in the entire universe had!

However, Dante felt like he had seen a path to such power!

It surprisingly wasn't through Quantum Entanglement, but rather technology!

Dante wanted to obtain the authority of technology! From what he understood, an authority was the pinnacle of the elemental/concept/law system, meaning that you are the tme lord of that element and there is no one above you.

However, people in the various universes and beyond could use various superpowers and abilities related to various laws. In that case, would it not be possible to slowly piece together a whole authority for oneself?

And the best building blocks would obviously be superpowers!

Dante wanted to gather ALL the superpowers related to technology and then coalesce them into an authority of technology!

To do that, he would need an insane amount of Spire Points, an amount that even selling a million vials of Nirvana Fire of A Phoenix could not achieve, not counting how suicidal that would be.

So why not keep conquering unclaimed ten-itories and farming Spire Points without causing any trouble? One should know, to effect this plan previously, Dante planned to grow his power and start slaughtering other universes en masse.

With an arguably 'safer' and more stable method like this, he only needed to spend a lot of time and effort to achieve his goal. This was killing three birds with one stone for him!

And so, it was not surprising that in the end, a whole year passed just like this.
