Chapter 73 Capturing
Dante chuckled at his confusion and took his two fingers back. "My physical strength is more than 5 times yours, of course its possible. Not only that, I have far better training in the control of force than you."
In terms of the five basic of Breathing, Posture, Reaction, Balance and Traversal, Dante would not say that he was a master, but he had graduated sufficiently and was adept. Using himself as a benchmark, the five basics on Killian were atrocious.
They were far better than when Dante had started out of course since Killian had military training and his own specialized training by the Pantheon, but it was no where near as concise nor perfect as what the Eternal Universe offered. After all, those basics had been condensed after how many generations of high tech studies?
Whole quantum computers had been dedicated to calculate the most optimal training route for a human, so the near clumsy training of the real world could obviously not match.
Then, there was the fact that Dante had also passed the Advanced Training of Focus, Spirituality and Conservation. Focus and Spirituality were mostly to help youngsters mature mentally faster and also become mentally capable, but Conservation was very much similar to the martial arts theory of 'turning complexity into simplicity' or 'everything returns to the origin'.
It did not specifically teach anything related to combat, but by applying its rules to combat, it produced a synergistic effect that raised the power of the user sufficiently.
Both Luo Yue and Aisha were utterly confused by what they were seeing, as if their eyes were failing them. However, they - with their limited SDI - only saw Killian flying back with a dent in his abdomen the next second.
In Killian's eyes, Dante had lowered his fingers and taken a single step to stand beside him. Before Killian could speak, Dante unleashed a slid blow into his gut that caused his entire body to bend like a crescent moon before flying out at near sonic speed.
Killian was sent to strike a small mound of rocks and was buried in them, his life and death unverifiable.
Luo Yue and Aisha looked at the mound where Killian was sent and then at Dante who was slowly walking over with a slight smile. They felt their hearts pound with fear and blood rushed towards their brains as they began to panic.
"Don't come closer!" Aisha screamed as she raised a finger and shot a thin beam of light.
Dante side stepped the beam casually, looking like he was in the fabled Ultra Instinct state. He paused as he glanced at the beam that shot past him which lasered through some rocks and left a smoking hole with a serious expression.
"You are actually dangerous." Dante said solemnly as he stopped playing around.
He activated his Bionics and disappeared from the realm of sight of the two women. By the time they understood what was going on, they were throughly tied up by some strange bonds. This was a special form of alloy from the Eternal universe that could easily keep someone with an SDI of 300 detained, much less these fellows.
Aisha struggled and released beams of light from he body to try and fry the alloy, but all she did was heat it up and cause herself as well as Luo Yue to scream as their skins sizzled and burnt. Luo Yue gritted her teeth and used her moonlight magic to heal their burns, but she could not break out of this bind.
While the two women struggled, Dante had already collected the bloodied and weakened Killian then tied him up too. As for the helicopter, the pilot was still waiting for his two quarry, but Dante had no plans to send them back.
Rather, Dante picked up a stone nearby and flicked it. It struck the temple of the pilot with force and knocked him out, causing him to fall forward and slump over the controls.
Satisfied, Dante grabbed the hooks of the two bonds and them pulled them along. He took them to the water and then manifested his exosuit, something which shocked Luo Yue and Aisha as they had never seen technology of this level.
Dante stood above the water this time and used the thrusters to fly forward at great speeds, heading towards McDonald's Island once more. The ride was extremely 'bumpy' and terrible for Aisha and Luo Yue.
Aisha had to turn various parts of her body to light to survive the g-force while Luo Yue manifested a small barrier of purple moon energy around her body.
As for Killian, he was left raw, and the trio could hear various bones in his body breaking and snapping even as the roar of the wind deafened them.
Luckily for them, it didn't last long. They soon arrived at the island and Dante threw them into the cave he had dig out. Immediately, the thinly dressed Luo Yue and Aisha began to shiver, while Killian slowly woke up since he was very close to death at this point.
Dante retracted his exosuit and then checked on Killian. Seeing that he wouldn't die, he nodded and turned to the two women show were acclimating to their situation and glancing at them.
Luo Yue looked up and her near flawless face had a hint of rosiness as her body generated more heat to battle the cold. It made it seem like she was blushing, but Dante could easily read her life signs using his senses.
"So, what are you going to do with us?"
Dante rubbed his chin. "A very good question. I don't want to kill you because I actually haven't killed anyone in my life yet and I don't want to waste my first time on you. However, I can't let you go free as you have seen my face."
Aisha gritted her teeth and snorted. "Dude, we don't even know your name or who you are. All we got were reports that someone was traveling at Mach 3 underwater, which is fucking impossible given our current technology."
Dante was stunned. So that's how they discovered him! He had wondered what foolish thing he had done to give himself away, but it turned out that it was something he did not account for in the least.
This taught him a lesson that he should not neglect anything when making moves. This earth was completely surveilled by various forces and most things could not hide from their eyes if they decided to search.
He could simply hack into the entire satellite and camera network and make himself like Aiden Perice, unable to be identified or even completely invisible. His AI chip could easily achieve this and he had not done it before because he was short-sighted and ignorant.
It was simply because Dante saw himself as a law abiding citizen. He did not plan to use force to harm anyone or any country, only using legal and genuine means to takeover the world through brilliance and wealth.
I mean, there were camera's all over the streets, but you weren't usually bothered about them because you knew you weren't gonna do anything bad. They weren't for you, they were for the bad guys. In fact, you might even slightly like those cameras because if something bad happened to you or a loved one, you could use their footage to do many things.
But if you planned to do evil, or had done evil and were laying low, ever camera was an eyesore and a testament to the evil and perverted nature of the government as well as the modern world.
Dante corrected his mentality henceforth and immediately had his AI chip completely make him invincible to all known forms of detection in the world that used technological means. If you had a way to track or detect outside of technology, like a spare Kraven the Hunter or a cultivator's Spirit Sense, then well… there was nothing Dante could do about that one.
"Speaking of identity, just who the fuck are you? You have this weird get up and all this power, but how come you've never appeared on our radar?" Aisha grumbled unhappily.
Dante snapped out of his reverie and smiled. "Me? I was just a normal guy like 2 months ago. You could say that I awoke my power back then and have nee adapting to it since."
Luo Yue seemed interested in this and the moon symbol on her forehead shone with a deep light.
"Your power? Since we are your captives, can you tell us what it is? I am utterly curious as to what kind of power can grant so much… ability."
Dante paused and then pondered seriously. "Well, my power is very versatile. To understand my power, you have to understand how I call myself."
ραΠdαsΝοvel With the mini quantum computer at his back and his hands in his vice admirals jacket that began to shift as the nanites slowly covered his skin, Donate grinned.
"I am the God of Technology."
Then Dante teleported out of the cavern and back to South Africa's beach area.
