Dante stretched out his hand and 'caught' the tail of the winged viper by pinching space around it. He made sure to press hard enough to keep it trapped but not enough to crush its tail to chunks of meat. As such, this created the outcome of the Winged Viper thrashing against its trappings but being unable to move a single inch, its wings flapping crazily as it tried to increase its momentum. "Get over here!" Dante roared as he tugged backward, dragging the monster toward himself. The monster's eyes…-

It should go without saying that Dante planned to attack immediately. He did not need this information because he wanted to scout out the monsters or know their weaknesses, because he was just a real body descended over a virtual one. He still had full access to the Apocalypse World's player panel for students, so he could see the stats of monsters on his own. In fact, the information he had right now was bought from players like him by brokers, as natives obviously did not have the benefit of those…

The Apocalypse World welcomed Dante's presence once more as he had to start another run. His previous account had long run out since he only used it to descend once and slaughtered the spiders to level up. Oh, also, he gave the Spider Queen some resources to restore her power and grow her clan. He wondered how effective it had been since it had been more than 60 days since he last came here. As such, he simply spawned in a random city and appeared in a wasteland carriage. He and some other 'descenders'…

It took 2 hours to perform the first move, three hours for the second move, and 4 hours for the third. A full cycle of practice was 9 hours, and when Dante was done, he felt completely rejuvenated rather than fatigued, which mostly had to do with the Quantum Vitality Serum rather than his practice itself. When he checked his progress, he saw that he had made 5%. This was a steep increase from the 2 hours for 10% he had at the previous Advanced Knight Realm, but it followed the rules of higher realm =…

Dante checked in with his base AI on Earth to find that his parents still had around 14 days left to undergo the full-scale genetic upgrade. As for Aisha, she had already captured over 15 superpowered users on Earth of varying nationalities and backgrounds, but she began exhibiting signs of sickness. Dante's expression became serious when he received the report that Aisha had occasional dips in her vitals, especially when she used her superpower strongly. It could either be that the rapid growth of her…

Quantum Flux was another upgrade that came from the previous round. Its time manipulation ability had not really spoken to him back then, and that was before he even got a quantum clone. It spoke even less to him, but its upgraded ability to eliminate the adverse effects of time control was truly amazing. Most people clamored for time-related powers but forgot that such a thing came with various problems. If you turned time back, will the memories you or someone else who was the target made stay or…

In the end, 21 days passed by calmly. Well... relatively calmly. For the denizens of the Eternal Universe, it had been quite troublesome as the entire thing with the public opinion manipulation as well as Beatrice's brutal response happened during this time while on the other side, the students were ashen-faced when they realized how little their chance against Dante was. Today was the day they were to come out and enter the Black Land for another 7 days, but one could tell that their hearts were…

The first fruit he had acquired had been hanging from a tree aflame with golden hues. The fruit itself bore the essence of everlasting combustion, and it was likely that when consumed, it granted the ability to summon and control flames that burned eternally, never to be extinguished. He decided to call it the Eternal Flame Fruit. The second fruit he had acquired was this one that was encased in a crystalline sheen, holding the energy of prismatic light. Dante was willing to bet that those who…

Well, the Eternal Universe had more than 8000 years in the home universe, so using that logic, society as a whole should have had more than 8000 years of development in terms of legal and socio-economic issues. In other words, even on Earth, in which globalization was relatively recent, such tricks were easily seen through by many people, though many others fell for it, sometimes willingly and sometimes not. So theoretically, the Eternal Universe should have seen scenes from this playbook so many times…

Brother monster, is our grudge really that deep? I'm here to see if I can get a fruit and assess Dante's abilities in real-time to report back to my faction. But why have you not only formed a group but also look at me as if I killed your mother? Is there some misunderstanding? There's no need to go as far as deliberately herding the remaining 27 of us into one shelter and then easily crushing our defenses, slowly and methodically ripping our virtual bodies apart while roaring with glee and joy as if you…
