Chapter 56 The Eternal Universe Shall Regret This Day
In other words, she was the stereotypical heavenly physique not seen in 10,000 years. If she underwent a gene treatment that would increase a person's SDI by 10 points at best, hers would have a ten times effect at the base.
If she used a Bionic or Psionic set that multiplied one's SDI by 15 times at best, hers would have 50 times extra at the base. In truth, if she wasn't the first daughter of a top pure human clan, she would have long been captured into a lab to be experimented on and turned into a mindless weapon.
However, what was public know about her was not too far from that. Not much familial love, ostracization, coldness from everyone, exclusion. Beatrice enjoyed the full package from everyone that wasn't within her nuclear family.
Coupled with intense and demanding training, they definitely made the most of her unique nature. She manned the Inferno Dreadnought alone because she alone was needed. She could fully exist in space and could theoretically punch smaller asteroids apart using sheer force alone.
Among the 40 Fleets of the Human Council, hers was a bit special because they never actually gave her any missions. Beatrice usually roamed the universe doing her own thing while the other fleets were either dispatched to monitory whole galaxies and spread a military net.
It was also why she could casually appoint Dante to the role, because the Human Council had no intention of putting any sane pure human near this woman. Since the fleets hardly used aliens or mixed breeds unless they were extreme elites, she was left alone.
Even if she was given such elites, Beatrice would not take them nor would they work for Beatrice.
The Lady of Genocides.
Can you guess who her victims were? Given her background and the nature of the universe, who else could have been the target of her crazy killings?
It was to the point where even pure humans were fearful of her, despite knowing she was on their side.
Beatrice was not very well-liked or reported positively on the Etranet. Even if pure humans occupied all the spots of power, they did not own every media outlet in the universe. Even if the most popular ones had pure humans heading them, their day-to-day journalists were definitely of the other races.
The reports on her actions and various killings were enough to make Dante blanch. Hey, he was no humanitarian… uh, alienitarian… whatever, but god damn. She had ended enough lives to form a sea that could drown every human on earth just using one drop of each being's blood.
Dante looked through and an article from a pure human owned news outlet had a much lighter description. It was the one that revealed her tough upbringing, due to her special nature, and also revealed the likely reason for Beatrice's hard-handed nature.
Her mother, who had naturally been the closest and kindest person in her life was assassinated by an alien race with a special superpower. This had naturally created darkness in her young heart at the time and was why she was brutal, the publication guessed.
Even though many sympathized, many still claimed it was no excuse for her heavy-handed nature. The comments on this publication flew all over the place, but the general consensus was that Beatrice was not well-liked at all.
Dante sighed and decided to deal with this later. He turned to research on the laws of the Eternal Universe, the powers granted various officials, and the rights of every type of being. He settled down and spent another 4 days going through these details because they simply covered too much.
He did not spare galactic laws and even planetary laws after checking the universal ones, which was why it took so long. He also happened to learn about the division of the military, their powers, and their limitations as well as every recognized force in the universe.
When Dante woke up after mastering the last bit of knowledge, his eyes shone. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling like this period of learning what the best thing he had ever done in his life.
Now, he was no different from a native of this universe. He understood all the common sense, behaviors, and expectations. He even cast an eye on his previous behavior and could understand the various gaffes and slip-ups he made.
In truth, if it wasn't so impossible to believe, Beatrice could have easily told that he wasn't a native of his universe. She had a suspicion of such but she thought it was something more 'realistic' like Dante being a time traveler from the past who jumped to the future.
And with that thought, Dante's eyes flashed with a hint of malicious darkness. Every resident of the Eternal Universe couldn't help but shiver at this moment and feel uneasy, as if a calamity had been born that would cause them endless strife.
They were right to feel this way. Dante was not a friend, but an invader from another universe who had infiltrated to try and plagiarize what he could in other to strengthen his foundation and then use that foundation to conquer here using any means necessary.
Dante was essentially the sworn enemy of every being of the Eternal Universe who treasured their free will and freedom. Yet this same enemy was not only sponsored by them, but was part of their ruling class - though at the periphery currently - and even enjoyed their topmost resources.
However, in truth, all of this was somewhat manageable, it wasn't enough to form a crisis for the beings of the Eternal Universe.
Though, what was critical was allowing this spy, this invader, to have free and unrestrained access to all their information!
Knowledge was power, this was the cardinal truth of reality!
They knew next to nothing about Dante except what he revealed but now Dante knew everything about them, their society, their history, their social norms, and even their power structure as well as technological standards.
If Dante even had the slightly universe-tier military force, he could easily invade now and conquer about 25% of the Eternal Universe before they would even realize what was going on. This was the kind of advantage that possessing crucial information could have!
Now that Dante was strapped knowledge-wise, he sat and pondered his priorities again. He diced not to change what he initially planned and resolved to take things slowly and accumulate more power. When he reached the threshold where he could invade and conquer without suffering any losses, he would strike.
ραΠdαsΝοvel Now, his next important goal was to refine himself. He now had the knowledge of the natives but he did not have their basic accomplishments physically. From a young age, they were thrust into the Etraverse to carefully crafted worlds by their schools or the government which taught them how to manage their SDI that varied from one person to the other.
Otherwise, you had to ask yourself. In a city or a square with various different beings, some might have an SDI of 100 and some had an SDI of 3. Yet in the perception of the person with 3 points, the person with 100 points was moving normally and talking normally to him.
His footsteps sounded normally and did not shatter the ground or cause earthquakes. His breaths were light as well as normal and didn't cause tornadoes from exhalation or vacuums from inhalation.
How did the person with a high SDI display such strong control of their bodies and was able to coexist with those who could likely be killed from a slight exertion from him?
That was exactly what the training world was for. Now that Dante had confirmed his ability to raise his SDI with the Apocalypse World, it was now more pertinent than ever that he actually knew how to make use of his SDI.
Not just to increase his combat capability and make him more skillful, but just so that he could actually blend in more with the natives and not cause trouble as his SDI rose to the triple digits and above.
As such, Dante checked on the cyborg protectors outside his door once more before hesitating. He then chose to resolutely enter the training world with his real body. After all, whatever he learned in there would have to be replicated by himself when he came out so he might as well skip that process and gain everything firsthand.
When Dante disappeared from his room and entered the training, world, the social and political climate of Planet Etonia was shifting greatly.
Well… it was shifting because everyone was wondering what the fuck this Vice Admiral was up to?!
