I am the God of Technology-Chapter 279 Dante’s Cold Fury 2

The faces of the teachers and the various powerhouses changed slightly. Because, as you could imagine, many of these students were their protegés, family, or related to their factions. Even if they had done something wrong that deserved severe punishment, they couldn't allow death to come upon them!

Heck, if these students had even sinned by committing the most heinous crimes possible, they would still leverage their power to protect them!

Yet...!!

Yet!!

Watching Dante calmly walk forward towards the Zero Gate itself, they couldn't find the words to speak to stop him. His words played constantly in their heads, not to involve themselves and avoid any fallout of this event.

With each step it took, it was like a hammer being used to smash their hearts and throats. They did not even realize that the reason for their hesitation was not because of fear but because of Dante's building anger; his demonic spiritual entity had manifested itself and was laughing wantonly at the sky.

Its eyes fell on all the teachers and powerhouses with endless greed, waiting to devour them down to the very core of their souls. It was due to this predatory glance that caused these beings to be filled with hesitation and fear, like a deer going silently after hearing the bushes nearby rustle.

Dante eventually walked through the portal and took all the students along with him. Only when he disappeared did everyone breathe out deeply, not realizing that they had been holding their breath all this time.

Then they were shocked by their disposition and felt their shoulders slump. Almost everyone, at the exact same time, realized that Dante had become an existence on par with Lara and Portia, someone who could do whatever he wanted in the universe, and they could only receive it.

As for Dante, when he was in the quantum tunnel that was beaming him toward the First Gate, he saw the fork that led to the Zero Gate and switched to it. As for the students with him, he had tied them to him using a spatial spell so that they were spatially linked, meaning that they were in the exact same quantum tunnel as he was.

They did not have the skill nor stats to possess 'conscience' during quantum travel since it was so fast. To them, they entered the portal, and the next second, they were in the familiar Zero Gate.

Only that this time, the Zero Energy was so potent compared to just a few minutes ago. At the same time, excited and furious roars rang out as the suppressed beasts had regained their power and were venting their anger on each other as well as anything they could get their hands on.

Hearing this, the students trembled greatly with fear as they knew that danger was upon them. Many began to cry and break down, but they were still bound and silenced, so the tears fell from their eyes but they could not even move a muscle.

Dante scanned the area with his spirit sense and raised an eyebrow. He seemed to smile, but his smile was so frightening that no one could feel happy from it. Dante teleported forward and brought the entire group along with him to a nice vantage point, where they could watch what he saw.

When the students looked down, their pupils constricted to the max, and their stomachs churned, though they did not have the ability to vomit. For below them, they could see a group of monsters actively tearing the corpse apart of a year 1 student, devouring them alive.

The person in question had already died gruesomely, leaving these beasts to fight over the remaining meat.

While some wanted to vomit, some became almost hysterical. In truth, they had hoped that things would be salvageable since they had only left an hour ago at most. Even though some students had died in the earlier days from being used as bait, they had various ways they could theoretically get out of it.

But witnessing this live, everyone's AI chips had recorded it. If forced to provide footage for legal reasons, there was no judge or council that would spare them for doing something like this.

Even worse was when someone who was technically above the law saw this and had their lives in his very hands. What would Dante do in response to this?

What surprised the students was that Dante only casually waved a hand and slaughtered the beasts before collecting some remains of the corpse. Then for the next half hour, he teleported across the realm, salvaging what he could of his batchmates and letting these seniors see their gruesome outcomes.

Eventually, he managed to gather the corpses of everyone, including Humphrey and Slessor, who had died fighting to their last breath. Dante also noticed that three fruits had not been harvested, leading to some monsters converging there to fight over them.

He naturally and easily took them away while pushing aside the beasts.

After fulfilling his task, he left the Zero Gate through the portal. What chilled the seniors was that Dante had not uttered a word this entire time, nor had he done anything to them. It's as if, rather than meting out justice, he was an investigator here to collect evidence.

Once they came out, Dante noticed that there were even more people here. Councilors from the Prime Human Council, all the Fleet Admirals and the top military men, as well as the clan masters of all the top clans and factions.

And of course, Lara Sanguis.

She silently sat in her throne with her legs crossed, glancing downwards at Dante with her blood-red eyes filled with near demonic intensity. Everyone's eyes fell on Dante and the students behind him who floated helplessly like chicks; their faces changed greatly.

Whether it was fury, hatred, fear, joy, schadenfreude, or whatever else, none of them uttered a word as all eyes fell on the only one truly qualified to stop Dante's actions here, Lara Sanguis.

Dante casually scanned the crowd and then raised his head to gaze at Lara. The two stared at each other for a while before Lara unfolded her legs and lightly leapt down from her throne, walking towards Dante calmly.

For Dante, it was quite a novel feeling. Normally, Lara was always sitting in his presence, so apart from her face, one could not tell much about her. Now that she stood like this, he saw that she was not very short at all, at around 5 feet and 10 inches.

Her body was slender and feminine, possessing the basic hourglass shape, but she did not have much in the way of sex appeal in terms of size. However, her movements and demeanor exuded a different appeal, one of a dominant and superior entity facing another.

Her black and tight-fitting military uniform with red lines through the hems and core seams merged with her black and red cape, which she flung behind her. Her messy white hair usually seemed short but actually reached her shoulder, and her cold expression gave way to a strange smile.

"Well well. What an interesting sub-universe to be able to not only give birth to a being like you, but for the forces at play to pit us against each other. I find it amusing," Lara spoke in a slightly amused tone. 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝑤𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝑚

Dante's brows furrowed. He felt tension build suddenly as Lara's aura began to rise. He was surprised that the woman neither questioned him nor monologued about how he had stepped on her authority or something.

She seemed like she was ready to get down to it from the onset, and Dante began to prepare himself for a battle. Even though

Lara was said to be weaker than himself by Levi, who knew if she would summon her true body down as a projection or something?

Those at the back also seemed to realize that Lara was approaching Dante with nefarious intent, and their hearts shifted. They wondered who would come out on top of this clash, and knew that they were about to witness a historic moment.

Either Dante won and rose to become the new voice of the universe or Lara won and maintained their absolute control over everything. Either way, this battle was destined to be legendary!

Let's not even talk about the trapped students, whose hearts had become numb and dead from fear, suddenly being filled with hope and light. When they saw their family, friends, and masters abandon them due to fear of Dante, they had thought the worst possible fate awaited them.

But now, the almighty headmistress was here to defend her honor!

As Lara got closer, flames emerged in her hands. This time, rather than the usual blue flames, she manifested white-colored flames, of which even Dante's hellfire cringed away from.

Dante's face changed greatly. He was not a fire expert, but his hellfire was telling him that this fire was basically the strongest in the lower dimensions.

The White Fire of Annihilation, the Heavenly Punishment flame!

Dante understood that he suppressed Lara in terms of versatility and raw power, but she could still threaten him slightly with various means. It was like being a level 100 player and going against a level 60 World Boss alone.

You've outleveled that World Boss, but those annoying world boss special skills could potentially kill you if you were careless.

Lara raised her hand, ready to throw the flame, and Dante tensed, his Hellfire True Qi emerging as he was ready to counter and use temporal magic to seal Lara's own time-based superpower.

Lara thrust her hand forward, and the white fire shot out like a snake, coiling in the form of an Asian dragon. Dante removed his blood battle halberd from his inventory and was about to strike it away when he noticed that the flame dragon was not even coming for him.

To his shock, it actually went behind him and opened its maw, swallowing all the students he had trapped in the air. They did not even have the time to scream before their bodies, souls, and spirits were thoroughly annihilated from the world.

Dante sensed with his life element magic spiritual core that he could not resurrect them at all, even with a Pseudo 10th Rank spell. This surpassed mere killing and was a complete wipeout. Only maybe the Nirvana Fire of a Phoenix could bring them back, but that needed a body to melt down.

Not just Dante, but everyone's faces changed to one of horror. Dante did not know, but Lara's famous white fire was popular among the upper echelons because she had used it on the previous principal to secure her position.

At the time, there was a person who possessed a resurrection superpower at the B Rank that tried to bring him back, but the attempt caused her to suddenly be burned by white fire that came out of nowhere, taking her life.

Many parties had tried to resurrect the two using various means, but it either did not work or the person who tried paid a price. Everyone then began to understand that this particular white fire was very potent and negated the resurrection of a person.

Lara dispersed her flame dragon and smiled at Dante, but it wasn't a friendly smile. It was a smile of mockery and amusement, like an adult looking at a child trying to act tough.

"In this universe, I am the supreme. Nothing can make me do anything I don't want to do. Only those I acknowledge can do things I don't want them to do, otherwise everyone else shall fall in line."

She turned and began to walk away, not even looking back at Dante who was coldly watching her leave.

"And let it be known today that Dante is someone I acknowledge, along with Portia Portinari and Beatrice Portinari."

She left those words behind and sat in her floating throne, leaving the area casually like she had come to chat and not execute hundreds of superpowered beings.
