Chapter 359 The Final Sprint

Chapter 359 The Final Sprint

Seeing the sleeping Antonia, Beatrice's eyes became slightly red. She got up and walked to the omni-clone, taking her daughter from his arms and holding Antonia close. Antonia, even asleep, recognized the familiar scent of her mother and snuggled in closer, a silly smile appearing on her little face.

Beatrice stroked her daughter's hair and spoke softly. "I'm sorry, my love, mommy has let you down."

Seeing that Beatrice was able to understand the problem, Dante sighed and stood up, holding the two in his embrace. "For me right now, more than any universe crisis or raising my power, there is nothing more important than taking care of the two of you."

"We have quite possibly a very long life ahead of us, and I want to make sure you're happy for as much of the journey as possible," Dante stated his position softly, making Beatrice feel reassured.

"Okay, that's fine. Still, you've already captured more than 75% of all the Lara clones in less than a few hours. There's no point in slowing down now, get them all and let's finish this thing so that we can move on to the next stage of our lives," Beatrice responded with a smile after calming her emotions.

Dante grinned warmly. "That's my Beatrice."

"Right, so what do we do about that forest fairy chick?" Beatrice asked silently, glancing at the room where Keira was slumped over a bed while being tended to by android maids.

"Collecting them for Etz, basically. She is the one who dragged them down here, so she is responsible for them. She has not considered it yet, but she will have to account for them after dealing with Lara, so I'm doing a part of her job for her," Dante explained while folding his arms.

Beatrice took Antonia to their bed and placed her down gently, covering her with the sheets. "That Etz should be grateful that she has you, really."

"Hahaha, I agree, but without her, I would never have met you, so it cancels out," Dante said as he sat beside Beatrice, laughing.

The two continued to chat peacefully while discussing their future plans even as the multiverse tremored from a huge quake. Hundreds of thousands of universes were undergoing groundbreaking changes that would forever shift their trajectory in the form of a conquest as well as the usurping of their premier political influence.

Dante truly had to give it up to Lara. She adapted based on the technology, political, and social climate of the universe she was on, sometimes working in the shadows, sometimes working through proxies, sometimes being the overall leader herself, and sometimes even having forcefully subdued the entire universe herself.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Dante could tell that every other cord was present to serve an auxiliary function for this one, which was why without it, he could never reach the EX Rank. If he wanted to perfectly inherit the Authority from Etz, he would need to ensure that this particular connection was primed and ready.

Working on it was something that Dante wished he could document for others to understand the difficulty and frustration. It felt like he was a child trying to carry a tray of food across a garden to his parents on the other side without dropping it.

Even with origin energy and Origin power, this was the current difficulty he was facing. Dante truly wondered how on earth he could ever have reached the EX Rank on his own had he not ascended to an Origin God.

Was that why Etz initially gave him a time frame of millions of years?

In terms of progression, Dante wasn't sure how to quantify it. Rather than untangle this one like the others, it was more like he was trying to 'clean' it, allowing things to pass through smoothly.

Currently, it was completely blocked and unusable. As Dante worked, it became slightly better, but the amount of time it was taking made him shake his head. An entire week had passed outside, but he had only made what he estimated to be 1% progress.

The good news was that this would give his clones and troops time to capture the various Laras on the side, on one hand, and that the further hewent in clearing this connection, the faster and easier it would be to clear the rest.

In the end, over 12 weeks passed, and he had made about 15% progress. That was 3 months gone, but Dante was only about 1/7th of the way there, which made him frustrated, but he reasoned that he would need to develop this kind of patience for the years to come.

This time, 24 weeks came to pass, and he was now sitting squarely at 60% completed. This was 6 whole months and surpassed the longest period of time he had spent on Quantum Entanglement since he began.

With a sigh, Dante could only continue after taking a short break since he was locked in and committed to achieving this difficult task that would have originally taken years upon end using simple Zero Energy.

Finally, another 24 weeks passed, making it a grand total of 61 weeks spent on this upgrade, or a year and two months!

On this fateful day, Dante was forced to take a break because he was finally at the limit, at 99%. One more push would see him through to the other side and cement his greatest achievement in life, allowing him to stand above all living beings in the multiverse!
