Chapter 97 Truth
ραΠdαsΝοvel Dante could only smile helplessly. At his current SDI, his semen was no longer just your average fluid with some enzymes, acids, and proteins along with sperm. It had transformed into a potent substance containing the genetic data of superior lifeforms, coated with special substances from beings like himself.
In other words, it wasn\'t salty or metallic; it was more akin to a shot of sweetened alcohol. It had a sharp, sweet, and intoxicating taste due to the high-quality components within. If given to a normal person, it could leave them feeling highly energized and euphoric for days.
To Beatrice, the energizing effect was minimal, and the euphoria was absent, but she still found the taste quite enjoyable. Even among normal men with typical SDIs on Earth, sweet-tasting discharges were rare.
Dante couldn\'t casually share his semen with Beatrice due to the energy cost involved in creating such \'supercharged offspring\' – about an hour\'s worth of a full energy bar. This fact alone highlighted its potency.
And it would only become more potent as his SDI continued to increase.
Beatrice rested on Dante\'s chest and listened to his heartbeat while he gently stroked her silky purple hair. After a moment of silence, Dante spoke up, "Why don\'t I help you reach climax as well? I\'m quite skilled at stimulating the clitoris and—"
Beatrice patted his chest with a smile. "No thanks. I don\'t want to experience those sensations without losing my virginity first. It seems pointless to me."
Dante was left speechless. He couldn\'t really argue with that reasoning, so he fell silent for a moment as Beatrice absentmindedly traced circles on his chest with her index finger.
After a noticeable pause, she asked in a soft voice, "Could you… tell me more about yourself? You\'re still somewhat mysterious to me."
Dante smiled. "After coming this far, there\'s no need for certain secrets. Besides, as my partner, I\'ll need your assistance to carry out some of my plans. You\'re the only person in this universe I can truly trust."
Beatrice\'s heart swelled with joy and love at being entrusted with such information. She hadn\'t expected Dante to place so much trust in her so soon, especially considering her own struggles with trust after her past experiences.
However, her belief in their fated encounter and her growing infatuation with Dante made her feel liberated and open.
"About me… My name is Dante… Dante Alighieri. I was born in 2009 on Earth to parents David and Aileen Alighieri. I had an upbringing that could be classified as upper-middle class, filled with love and enjoyment. My parents had high hopes for my future."
"I did have a few girlfriends and love interests while growing up, but those relationships never really went anywhere. I understood that I wouldn\'t marry any of them, so I didn\'t invest everything emotionally."
"I chose to break away from my parents\' care and establish my own path at the age of 17. Instead of pursuing architecture, which my father wanted, I studied coding in college. This decision strained our relationship a bit, but looking back, I realize it was mostly in my head."
"When I turned 21, roughly two months ago, I took a gamble. I used credit to buy a new apartment and a new phone. On that phone, I launched an app I had spent challenging months coding, but a malfunction occurred."
Beatrice wore a peculiar expression, trying to reconcile this information with her understanding of Dante\'s origins. Moreover, the year he mentioned was over 8,000 years in the past!
"Due to a special command I input for the app\'s introduction, I typed in the formula for Quantum Entanglement using a hashtag. However, the app still interpreted the command and executed it."
"I\'m not sure where it drew the energy from—whether it absorbed ambient quantum energy or something else—but as soon as I ran the command, I was pulled into a Quantum Tunnel. Just when I thought I was about to be torn apart, I stabilized and found myself in a dirty alleyway within a futuristic city."
Beatrice froze as comprehension dawned on her. The shock in her eyes was evident as she looked at Dante in disbelief.
Dante smiled and patted her head gently to soothe her. "You know the rest. However, I survived because my phone transformed into a deformed quantum chip, and a special entity saved me and granted me the superpower of Quantum Entanglement."
"I\'m uncertain whether that entity wants its identity disclosed, so I\'ll avoid mentioning it to avoid any potential repercussions," Dante concluded with a grin.
Beatrice reclined back, her expression reminiscent of someone who had just witnessed a pivotal revelation scene in a movie. This amused Dante to no end.
"I know you have more questions. I won\'t hide anything from you," he assured her calmly.
Beatrice seemed reassured, and she absentmindedly traced her fingers on his chest as she gathered her thoughts. "So, you\'re an alien?"
Dante was momentarily speechless.
"No, I\'m human. Well, technically, yes, I\'m an alien to this universe, but—"
Beatrice chuckled softly at Dante\'s perplexed expression and pressed on, "So you come from a different world? A different timeline? Or a different universe?"
Dante nodded. "A different universe. As far as I can ascertain, this isn\'t like the multiverse theory where each of us is a mirrored version of the other, separated by time and dimensions."
"Instead, it\'s more akin to eggs in a basket, or perhaps a tray. Each egg is fundamentally similar, adhering to the same basic rules, yet distinct in its own way. They exist in a physical space I believe to be the void between universes."
"While I\'ve gleaned bits of truth and experienced certain strange sensations, each time I traverse between universes, the quantum tunnel I use lasts a brief period. It\'s translucent yet vividly colorful. Beyond it, there\'s a particular emptiness that hints falling into it would likely yield a fate worse than drifting in space."
"I speculate that this void is the space between your universe and mine."
Dante thoughtfully rubbed his chin. "I\'ve made numerous attempts to gauge the distance between our universes and assess whether we\'re adjacent or if there are other universes in between that I traverse past or through to reach here."
Beatrice was captivated by this explanation, finding it both fascinating and hard to believe. Yet, it further cemented her conviction that she and Dante were destined to be together, making her heart brim with fulfillment.
"Do your superpowers possess any unique capabilities?" Beatrice inquired with curiosity.
"Initially, at the F Rank, I could create a Quantum Tunnel between our two universes. Upon reaching the E Rank, I acquired two additional auxiliary abilities: Quantum Relocation and Quantum Transposition."
"Quantum Relocation is an extension of my base teleportation ability. It enables me to shift between Quantum Markers I\'ve established
when crossing universes at specific locations. This essentially allows me to teleport any distance within the same universe, provided I have a Quantum Marker there. So far, I\'ve encountered no obstacles to this ability."
Dante grinned at Beatrice. "That\'s also how I teleported here—I left a Quantum Marker during our previous experiment."
"As for Quantum Transposition, it permits me to use my body to access Quantum Spaces. Similar to the Etraverse, I can enter virtual worlds with my physical form and impose my SDI on them. That\'s how I quickly elevated my SDI, as I entered the Apocalypse World and gained the power of Absorption."
Beatrice clutched Dante\'s chest in excitement, immediately comprehending the implications. She had been curious about how Dante had increased his SDI and was about to inquire when it might be possible for them to be intimate, but it seemed that her wait might not be long at all.
Dante was taken aback. "What\'s the matter?"
Beatrice promptly sat up, causing her ample bosom to sway enticingly, capturing Dante\'s full attention. She pulled Dante up to a sitting position, her expression serious.
"I\'m guessing you sought my help to enhance your genetic limit and continue raising your SDI?"
Dante wasn\'t surprised that she had deduced this based on the information he had shared. After all, if Beatrice couldn\'t calculate something like this, her intelligence of 20,000 would be wasted.
Beatrice\'s beautiful smile radiated excitement. "Not only can I help, but I have an even better method that will propel you beyond my own limits!"
