Earth, August 2030. The world was in turmoil given that the most recent publicly acknowledged genius who looked to be able to bring the world forward more than 100 years in technology was suddenly axed just before he could release all his findings. Even if they hadn't been perfected, there were many among the public who could come together to finish it. The only thing was that they needed access to the framework in which they could then throw on the 'meat' in due time. What particularly infuriated them…-

Dante nodded. So it was just like the real Mutation Core in that 10 of them were needed at each rank to raise it up. If this really followed the rules of the Apocalypse World, then Dante could easily see himself raising an army of superpowered users. Of course, that was not something easy to do. After all, the reason why superpowers were so valuable - and that their owners were practically royalty - was precisely because no form of technology or methods apart from other superpowers could counter them.…

Dante brought them to the Technology Nexus where all things related to research and production were handled. The nexus was far more bustling than before, with many androids and various bots moving up and down to complete their tasks related to production or development. The three with Dante had been given free rein to move about as they pleased, but they had sensibly decided to stay within the Vitality Pools until their son/nephew came back and allowed them to leave. Now that they had a chance to…

"Uhh, Mom? Why do you say that?" Dante tried his hardest to hide the shock in his voice, but Aileen seemed to detect it. She sighed sadly and clasped her hands together nervously. "You know, unlike your dad, who you know your grandpa on their side, I've always told you your grandpa on my side was dead, right? Well… that's not true." At this point, Dante felt he could go dizzy. "What do you mean, he's still alive to this day? Was there a conflict between you guys?" "It's not as simple as a…

"You shouldn't have done that, Dante," David stated calmly as he shook his head. Dante was surprised and paused. "What do you mean, Dad?" Peter, his uncle, laughed. "Your dad is being straightforward, Dante, my boy. I can understand the kindness in your heart when you chose to use non-violence to promote humanity, but it is wasted on our species." Dante was naturally shell-shocked by this. He simply sat on his sofa, and despite all his Intelligence SDI that made his brain faster, he didn't know…

? This was the present-day occurrence, and the world was still in turmoil as riots erupted everywhere. Many countries were even going through a brutal French Revolution-style change, and the carnage going on could realistically set humanity back many years at once. What made the android send plenty of red alerts to Dante recently was that the base AI had deliberately foiled many attempts by various countries to unleash the nukes. After all, the elites who were about to be killed and even implicate…

This claim got many to pause and hesitate because it seemed sensible. However, there were those who were not moved and knew that even if it was true or not, this was their only chance to topple the world's powers while everyone was incensed. As such, they continued to make noise and galvanized others with the same logic. Along with them, mixed in like runts in a pack, were those who just wanted to riot and have fun, stealing things while the rest fought for what they considered to be a stupid cause.…

When he appeared, Dante found himself in the Vitality Pool of his base on Earth. He didn't rush to get out immediately but simply lay within, contemplating what he wanted to do now that he was back. Dante found it amusing. Many of his friends and peers had been talking about the difficulties they faced in finding a reason to push forward in today's challenging world, where every meaningful resource seemed to have been divided up, and all that remained was a slice of the shared cake that had to be…

Dante left the Supreme Martial Hall and entered the city. For the first time since he had entered the True Martial World, he casually strolled to the city gates and actually exited. The gates were guarded by city guards who were at the Martial Warrior realm, demonstrating the strength of the City Lord's Mansion. Once outside, Dante realized that there was a large radius of plains and grasslands around the city, not because it was naturally so, but for two reasons. Firstly, the lumber used to build…

Dante was quite satisfied with Liang's growth. Since then, Liang mostly spent his time going between the Alchemist Association to make money and fighting outside the city to gather killing points. The Enhanced Energy Elixir was priced at 1 Killing Point for the Body Tempering version, 10 Killing Points for the Martial Warrior version, 100 Killing Points for the Martial Blood version, and so on. Now that Liang had become a Martial Warrior and had even reached Great Completion in this time, he only had…
