Upon reappearing, Dante was right where he felt he should be, which was on the couch he had been seated on when he disappeared. His entire body had left and returned, and he had 'safely' disconnected from the quantum network as he did. In truth, there were so many ways in which this could have gone wrong, but what Beatrice said turned out to be true. Superpowers - or at least, Dante's Quantum Entanglement superpower - were not so short-sighted and limited in design. That was extremely reassuring, and…-

They didn't have to queue where they were for long as a light scanned over the entire group slowly. Each person received a message directly to their AI chips informing them of the details of admission and the entrance examination about to be held. Dante was surprised when they were told that they were to be examined on the spot by going to the Etraverse. The Eternal Academy had set up a seed world for them to carry out their examination. Because the test might take some time, they were admitted into a…

Dante didn't even get a chance to introduce himself before the atmosphere of the small circle they occupied changed. The two men immediately went on guard and positioned themselves in front of Louisa as if being one second too slow would be worse than death. Louisa herself began to tremble, her expression scandalized as if she had been bitten by a snake. The two Lieutenant Generals prepared for a fight, sweat forming on their faces through their exosuits, which was a rare sight. Dante stood there…

Dante did not spend time exploring the Etraverse. Unfortunately, one thing that separated the Quantum Network from a digital network was that it could not be time-dilated, so everything there occurred in real-time. Dante did not have the time to enter the Etraverse because Beatrice hurriedly informed him that they had reached the Eternal Academy. She even pulled Dante over to glance at the academy from the Observation Deck, and Dante was absolutely blasted away. The Eternal Academy was like a giant…

Of course, Dante might be overestimating himself. Just because that high-dimensional lifeform helped him once didn't mean it always had its eyes on him. It might have been a casual act of boredom before forgetting Dante's existence 0.0001 seconds later. It could also be that a high dimension lifeform was too lofty to care about the underestimation of a mere lower-dimensional lifeform. After all, how could Dante understand the thoughts of such a being? It was like a worm or an ant trying to guess what…

Aside from its ability to keep Dante alive in the vacuum of space, it also recycled the liquid in his body so that he would never be dehydrated and could extract the waste in his body to obtain nutrients to sustain him. But that was just basic life preservation. It was apparently strong enough to resist laser blasts head-on! As the latest in military tech, it had surpassed all other defenses and was now tuned to protect from the most dangerous of attacks from superpowers and the like. Protecting from…

Dante was surprised by this entourage. While the idea of a villa naturally had him picture maids and butlers, he had never actually experienced such treatment directly. Naturally, Beatrice was unfazed, likely due to her upbringing, so she ignored the robots and entered the building. Dante noticed that she had a sharp dislike for non-human machine life, and his eyes narrowed as he wondered why. He kept his thoughts to himself and followed her in. The interior was much more splendid than he expected.…

What is a Quantum Network? It was a unique form of communication that surpassed the common method that required a direct physical connection. Unlike typical networks that transmitted data through wires or waves, the quantum network used the quantum realm of the universe. In other words, you don't necessarily need a 'cable' to connect two interfaces. Through quantum entanglement, one side would send the communication and the other side would receive it through the quantum network. The AI chip in…

"So, did you actually report him?" Dante asked as they walked out of the former White House building. "No, of course not." Beatrice shook her head. Dante smiled in approval. "It's better that way. He will be grateful to you and now you have blackmail on him. You can get stuff like this done much easier next time." Beatrice smirked and folded her arms. "Not only that, but he would be in a worse position and have nothing to lose if I did report him. I don't want someone like that having hatred towards…

"As far as I have been told, you were discovered by Admiral Portinari on the remote Planet Etonia?" Director Johnson asked with a smile. Dante's eyes narrowed. "Director, I asked you to explain what you meant about being coerced." Director Johnson's face froze as he clenched his fists under the table but maintained his smile. Beatrice glanced at Dante with a surprised look for a split second before feeling angry again and looking away. "To answer that, we need to build up facts, I'm sure you…
