I am the God of Technology-Chapter 53 Learning About The Universe
"Headmistress, we've got a response from the ID tracker!" A female aide shouted as she rushed into the office of the headmistress.
Lara Sanguis was currently meditating, seven glowing orbs rotating around her body. One of them was as red as the sun, while another was gray and seemed to still life itself.
Before the aide could see the others, Lara opened her scarlet-colored eyes and glanced at her. The orbs that floated around her disappeared and caused the atmosphere in the room to become normal once more.
The Aide's breath caught as she began to shake. Those eyes were filled with a certain suppressive power that made it feel like she was but an ant standing before the hungry spider.
Lara looked away and rose to her feet, moving to take her place on her throne which was also her office seat. Lara crossed her legs and glanced at the aide with a much softer yet bored look.
Finally getting a chance to breathe, the aide sucked in a deep breath and tried to ignore the sweat that was likely forming on her face. She remembered why she came here and decided to get on with it before the headmistress lost her patience.
"Madam headmistress, we have received a ping from the tracker we placed on Dante. He is currently on the outskirts of the universe, within 300 light-years of Planet Etonia. Due to the distance being great, we can only narrow it down to this range." The Aide hurriedly revealed as she passed a report over.
Lara glanced at the report but did not take it. "And do you have any information as to why he is there and what he is doing there?"
The Aide took back the report meekly and responded quickly. "Yes! We have official reports that he is there in his capacity as the Vice Admiral of the 34th fleet. His goal is to investigate the rebel factions of the planet and seek them out."
Lara's bored eyes flashed with interest. "Oh? What a smart little fellow. That is the perfect excuse to gain some freedom."
The Aide remained silent at the headmistress's remark and then inquired once it looked like she was done. "Headmistress, what do we plan to do with him?"
"Nothing." Lara chuckled.
The aide was surprised by this and seemed hesitant. Lara noticed this and smiled playfully.
"What was your name again?" She asked pointedly.
The Aide shivered and answered quickly. "Moira Svenn, Madam!"
"Right, right. The Svenn family. If I remember correctly, Infernus is one of your grand elders, hm?" Lara stated while yawning.
Moira shook greatly, understanding what the headmistress was implying. "M-Madam headmistress… I-I…!!"
Lara waved a hand. "I don't care about your loyalties or your clan's benefits. The most important thing is that my benefits come first, and you should drill that into your head while you work for me."
Moira stuttered out an affirmative reply and couldn't help but feel like she had dodged a gruesome fate. The headmistress had a very terrible reputation among pure humans for her indiscriminate cruelty, and she had the power to back it up.
Lara opened her hands in a gesture of helplessness. "Besides, we can't do anything even if we wanted to. Military personnel on investigations concerning what Dante announced are not to be interrupted or interfered with. The Human Council does not joke with that issue at all."
Moira was speechless and couldn't help but glance at the headmistress strangely. Who didn't know that the Human Council laws and rules were useless to you, and they didn't even dare to criticize you too loudly when you went overboard?
Anyone but you could claim to be bound by the law, even the chairman of the human council who was thought to be the most powerful person in the universe by the average folk. ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.𝚌𝚘ｍ
Lara simply chuckled. "You are dismissed. Don't inform me about anything to do with Dante unless it's serious or a threat to his life that he cannot handle."
Moira acknowledged this and bowed while leaving. When she exited the office and closed the door behind her, she walked back to her desk and pondered what to do with a worried expression.
When she received this information, she had rushed to report first, but now that she was out, she wondered whether to feed this information to the clan. After all, her Uncle Infernus had been sent to the frontlines at the First Gate due to his mistake, and his survival was unknown.
If she reported Dante's whereabouts to the clan, while they might not dare to capture him due to his status and the possible backlash, they would definitely find ways to coax him back to the academy in order to lessen Infernus' and the other's punishments.
Moira pondered this for a bit but then sighed deeply. In the end, she decided to get back to work and keep this to herself, because even if she did help, what would it change? The one who penalized her uncle was the headmistress, and only she could reduce or absolve him.
What Moira did not know was that in a realm she could not see or even fathom, a grey and withered feminine hand was gripping her scalp tightly. The moment she decided not to report, the hand released its grip and faded into the mist behind her.
In the headmistress' office, Lara retracted her hand from a small tear in reality and then yawned once more before heading back to meditate.
.........…
Dante was brought to his new residence, which was a swanky manor in a large estate that was cordoned off. It was a top estate that had everything, its own mall, armory, hospital, and entertainment facilities.
It was basically a miniature town that was fully functional with all amenities necessary that were also of the highest order, allowing government officials to enjoy themselves without having to intermingle with the plebeian scum.
Dante was led to the biggest manor in the estate that was reserved for only the topmost officials, and his rank afforded him that right. The moment he walked inside, his AI chip connected to all the facilities and took over control.
Another thing that was interesting was the fact that his AI chip had connected with the processing center of the cyborg guards, allowing him to control them to some extent and override their own will.
Due to this, Dante inadvertently found out that their base SDI ranged from 100-200 points in each field and they had the best Bionics and Psionics which granted them a 15 times boost.
Hector was right, even if Dante was powerful himself, he could completely feel at ease with such guards protecting him. Likely even Superman would not feel so good after taking a punch from these guys at their full power.
Convinced of this, Dante left them in key areas to guard him while he entered the master bedroom. He sighed with a hint of fatigue between his brows as his brain had been running ever since he woke up from Sylphia's attack.
Now that he had some time to relax, he decided to slack for a bit. After about half an hour of lying around like a salted fish, he smacked his cheeks and got into serious mode. He then sat comfortably on his bed and began to actually learn.
The first thing he decided to study was the history of the Eternal Universe and the human race. This was knowledge that spanned the era since humans were primitives on Earth, so there was a lot to cover.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Luckily, Dante activated his Psionics and boosted his mental capacity to 105 times that of a normal pure human in this universe. This allowed his learning capacity to soar, and he tore through the learning materials that were not just text, but even interactive at times.
It took him over 3 hours to reach an important checkpoint which was the galactic wars for dominance. This was when humanity had advanced to a Tier 3 Civilization and had come into contact with the wider universe.
This was the first third of the entire universe history that Dante had swallowed and he felt like his brain was about to explode. However, he was also intoxicated by his quick learning ability and initially did not want to stop.
It was only when his AI chip sent an alarm that his character within the Apocalypse World was under attack that he snapped out of it and hurriedly logged in. After all, even if he was away from the school, that did not stop him from taking advantage of this unique world to try something he had in mind when he first saw his upgraded Quantum Entanglement.
When Dante descended into the Apocalypse World, he discovered that he was currently bound in a bag and was being carried away unsteadily by at least three people.
Feeling that their grip was weak and their work was labored as their SDI was limited to 1 point, Dante's eyes flashed as he exploded with his full strength and escaped his bindings!
