Chapter 326 Clearing The Monster Hierarchy From Top To Bottom

Dante and Beatrice did not know that they had inspired the Spider Queen to become something greater than she was ever meant to be. They had long left her dungeon area and appeared in the area of an EX Rank monster based on the information Dante purchased all those months ago.

When they arrived, they found that they were in a volcanic area, which made Beatrice frown while Dante immediately felt comfortable due to his affinity with the fire element. The beast that lived here was said to be a volcanic flame wyvern that was the top of the food chain, even among the EX Ranked beasts of this world.

Dante was about to provoke it when Beatrice tugged on his jacket with a skeptical look. "Hey there mister, it's good to be enthusiastic and all, but aren't you forgetting something?"This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

'What?" Dante asked with obvious confusion.

Beatrice folded her arms and raised an eyebrow. "Now I understand you're a rich man in terms of those Spire Points and you can have any superpower you want, but you currently do NOT have the superpower of Absorption built into you by default."

"Oh, that? It's not a problem." Dante had a moment of realization as to what Beatrice was talking about and suddenly chuckled.

"Uh huh? It's not?" Beatrice asked while sizing Dante up and down to see if he was normal.

"Of course, babe. This world belongs to Lara, and while I previously did not dare to mess with her because of her power and backing, we both know that I am tasked with her suppression and downfall." Dante began to explain as he accessed his power.

Lights seemed to flash in his eyes as various rules and regulations that controlled this quantum world appeared before him. Beatrice was able to see them because Dante shared his POV telepathically.

"So before, I would have to log in with my avatar, create a session, and then descend, which was long and arduous. Now though, we can simply come here and change the rules of the world forcibly to suit us, Lara be damned." Dante concluded as he activated his 'account' on his real body, as well as Beatrice's when she was still in school.

Beatrice was speechless. "All those tough words yet you chose the least intrusive and confrontational method."

Dante blushed. "Well, I can't help it. I'm naturally attuned to taking the path of least resistance within a tolerable range after all."

"Right, right. Don't worry, you're still a tough bad boy to me because you've technically hacked the school server. That's incredibly ballsy." Beatrice snickered as she checked her old account to refresh herself on what her given superpower had been back then.

[Player Name: Beatrice Portinari

Player Race: Human

HP: 2 million/2 million

Strength: 20,000

Agility: 20,000

Dexterity: 20,000

Intelligence: 20,000

Constitution: 20,000

These were beings that no player dared to think of challenging, and even the natives of this world had given up, adopting the strategy of 'if I don't see you, then you're not there'.

Naturally, taking them down would have some long-term effects for both students who were descending and the natives of this quantum world, but they would not occur just yet.

Well, at least, they wouldn't have occurred just yet if it wasn't for the fact that the duo of Dante and Beatrice had not appeared at the location of another EX rank beast.

This time, they stood in the clouds above the wasteland, a place that almost no one in this current era could reach. The discovery of this EX rank beast had been done by descending students with special superpowers; otherwise, no one would have ever found it.

This one was the heavenly birdman beast, a half bird, half-man creature with extremely ugly features that wielded a spear of golden color. It also had some golden plate armor on its body, and its feathers were the same as that of a chicken in terms of color and style, while its head was shaped like a goose.

The moment Dante and Beatrice appeared, it detected them and came rushing out with a cawing shriek. Beatrice spread her legs as she entered the horse stance and simply pulled her right fist back.

Without using blood qi and only relying on the force of her fist, she punched forward and created a giant cannon of air pressure that struck the foe right in the gut. The heavenly birdman tried to use its ability to block, which was the manifestation of an angelic-like shield.

However, this barrier was easily shattered by the sheer pressure of the air cannon, causing the slightly weakened attack to strike the gut of the heavenly birdman that was covered in armor. The armor was cracked and drilled through immediately, its abdomen now sporting a giant see-through hole that leaked golden colored blood.

Due to the residual force, the birdman was sent flying back and crashed through many objects before it came to a halt, its body limp and twitching as its life slowly leaked out of its body. It weakly gripped the hole in its abdomen with a look of disbelief and incomprehension, struggling to raise its head to glimpse at its killer properly.

However, it could not even manage this as its head slumped down permanently, never to rise up again. Beatrice breathed out lightly and exited the horse stance, allowing Dante to quickly collect the corpse and take them away from this cloudy area as it was beginning to decompose.

Since the being that created and maintained this area was dead, it was natural that this special miniature habitat/biome would cease to exist, if not in time, then immediately.

"So that's two out of ten in less than 5 minutes." Beatrice noted as they left the area towards their next destination.

Dante shrugged. "Can't be helped, we're just too strong. Well, it's clear if we're going to push my limits stats-wise, we'll need to expand our pool of captured monsters. Let's clear everything down to the A Rank since players can realistically only handle up to the B rank."

Beatrice chuckled. "How cruel. Those poor monsters have rights, don't you know? How could you treat them as nutrients for your growth?"

Dante sighed dramatically. "Haah, my beautiful Bea, it's difficult. I know that all things deserve a chance to maim and slaughter, so my maiming and slaughtering is wrong! However, I'm forced to by life, it's not like I am completely taking the initiative here!"

If the spirits of the wyvern and the birdman were here, they would cough out blood and roar to the sky in impotent rage. After barging into their domains and taking their lives without even giving them a chance to fight back, you dare to be sarcastic and satirical?

Like this, for almost an entire day, the Apocalypse World was turned upside down. I-lundreds of thousands of monsters were slaughtered and captured into the quantum space, causing the administrative A1 of the world to wail endlessly at the consumed resources.

After all, quantum worlds, though virtual in nature, still relied on certain resources to work. Once taken away, they could naturally be regenerated and grown back, but it would require effort and time, causing the 'performance' of the entire server to lower itself.

Dante and Beatrice did not know this, but Lara was currently gritting her teeth and clenching her fists as the Central A1 reported to her tearfully about their wanton actions, expecting her to do something.

However, what could she do? Putting aside the fact that she did not dare to fight either Beatrice or Dante, there was also the fact that she built the world using the resources of Etz Chaim, not her main body!

This was something that the current Dante knew that the previous Dante did not. Previously, Dante thought it was a random higher- dimensional being sponsoring Lara, which was what he sensed with his EX Quantum Core ability, but with what we knew now, that was obviously impossible.
