I am the God of Technology



When Dante emerged from the pocket dimension suddenly, you could be sure that the spiderlings that were attacking it were shocked, much less the spider warriors or the single Spider Lord. 

They only had time to screech in anger when Dante unleashed a wave of hellfire that engulfed the very small army before him. After all, he had already dealt with the majority of the forces at the bottom and these were just the reserves who weren't there at the time. 

In a single attack, pretty much all the spiderlings were taken out, with a few spider warriors following along. The rest quickly retreated rather than advanced at the command of the Spider Lord, creating a defensive formation as they watched Dante warily. 

Dante was not surprised. As a D Rank monster, a Spider Lord was capable of low intelligence and had good instincts, like those Deformed Elite Zombies. It probably realized that Dante was a superpower wielder of the fire element, which was their racial weakness, and so wanted to create distance to react. 

That was truly a good idea as at his current level 2 of the Inferno Ascension Art, even with his spirit sense, Dante could not make flames appear directly within his range. They had to be fired out from his body and travel towards his target before returning. 

However, even if one did not take his insane physical prowess from his stats into account, his accomplishment in both of his physical techniques was enough to make him a humanoid behemoth to these spiders. 

Still, Dante currently had no weapon on him as he wanted to train using his two magical powers instead of relying on his halberd skill to get by like usual. Spawning in a dungeon like this was just the icing on the cake. 

Dante smiled and snapped a finger, casting the Astral Flare spell. 

A wave of spatial energy condensed in front of him and formed a small portal the size of three men standing side by side. From within this portal, needle-like purple bolts the size of a standing broom's handle shot out like bullets, piercing through the bodies of the spiders that were hunched up before him. 

The spider warriors did not have any time to react before they were brutally nailed into the ground, their lifeforce disappearing not just from the fatal strike, but the destructive void energy remaining. 

Spiders were generally fast beings with very high agility, but even they could not react to something like this fast enough. By the time the spell came to an end, only the spider lord who had dragged over some spider warriors to form a protective shield for itself had survived. 

When it looked and saw all its troops killed, the spider lord felt endless fear and began to run back down the passage hurriedly. It had to inform the queen quickly of the prowess of this intruder, as he was a fabled double superpower wielder! 

In its memory, their lair had been destroyed many times by such monstrous humans, forcing the queen to flee with injuries and relocate to different places. She had originally been at the S Rank with a powerful spider army in the depths of the uninhabited zones, but had been slowly beaten to this corner and dropped two stages. 

The spider lord was surprised that Dante did not give chase, but then remembered that it was a spider with great agility. How could two measly legs keep up with the sleek movement of eight? Not to mention, those damned superpowered humans always had weak bodies. 

As the spider lord went down, Dante glanced at it and pressed his hand to the nailed corpses of the spider warriors. Once again, he used his F rank Absorption to collect their remnant stats, and it was just enough to get him to reach the limit in all stats with a few digits extra in agility especially. 

The expulsion of extra energy was pretty weak this time and did not cause Dante much trouble.

Dante nodded with satisfaction. He took a step forward to chase downwards but stopped and tilted his head in thought. This was an indiscreet dungeon that no one had found, and it contained plentiful monsters. 

The most important thing was that these monsters could regenerate not physically, but in terms of population through reproduction. No matter how weak the spider queen, she wouldn't take much energy to spit out spiderlings or spider warriors, and even they were enough to fill Dante's tank most of the time. 

There was no real need to overturn the entire nest at once. Rather, he could treat it as his backyard farm whenever he broke through his gene limit and wanted to absorb stats quickly. 

This saved him loads of time running up and down the wasteland fighting monsters. In the end, he decided to find a place to preserve this virtual body for the next 30 days so that he could drop in when necessary. 

A pocket dimension would be fine, but they could break it while he was away. So Dante simply dropped a quantum marker and teleported to his other quantum marker in this world, which existed within his second residence. 

His items and belongings from his last run had not been cleared out yet, so he threw everything that he bought into his portable storage and then dropped his virtual body onto the bed. He was amused at how the cleaner would be shocked to find that he was alive past 30 days, and that could technically count as causing mayhem in the world. 

Oh yeah, speaking of that, let's see how his previous run was scored compared to the first time. 

[Supercoin Settlement for Dante. 

World Name: Apocalypse World 

World Type: Shared (5% Score Bonus) 

—————————————————— 

Online Time: 82:12:08 (F+ Rank) 

Mutant Kills: 4098 F Rank, 87 E Rank, 243 D Rank (C+ Rank) 

Player Kills: 0 (F Rank) 

Native Kills: 0 (F Rank) 

Superpower Rank: D Rank (D Rank) 

Reputation: A respectable regional legend who caused an upheaval (B Rank) 

Final Score: D+ Rank 

Payout: 1550 Supercoins (bonus added)] 

Huh, not bad. Dante had done a lot more hunting on his second run, and the dungeon exploration of that research lad was the reason he had so many D rank monster kills compared to E Rank. He didn't fight any players or natives, heck if he remembered, he tricked two students into getting lost without offending them. 

He naturally had no plans to see nor interact with them. The Eternal Academy to him now was just a place where he absorbed Zero Energy. After being attacked three times, his feelings towards the institution that hadn't even had time to grow had disappeared. 

He did remember raising his superpower to the D rank and even honestly had a chance to take it to the c rank if he had focused more time on it, but he did not feel it was necessary. Oh well, the Mutation Cores he had collected on his last run were now in his portable storage along with other interesting items. 

And that informant had done his job well and spread the information. This was likely why Dante had such a strong reputation rating, as really only the guards at the outpost knew him due to his thunderous entrances and exits. 

The payout scheme for Supercoins in the AP world was 10 at the F rank and then multiplied by ten for each higher rank. So his D rank had earned him 1000 Supercoins, and adding a plus meant 50% bonus while a minus meant 50% reduction. 

Then there was the ever-present 5% for being a shared world. 

Whatever the case, Dante had earned big, but it was not enough to do much. Well, he could now upgrade his student Bionics and Psionics to the 2nd level and increase his boost. 

However, it would be the same problem as going to take a gene enhancer, they would have to scan his SDI and upon realizing the disparity in his stats, those fucking crazy teachers might attack while he was under. 

He now had his inferno fire and the magic spiritual power, but he was not sure how effective they would be. It was one thing to be meditating on your superpower and passively defend or escape and another to be in the midst of a careful and important surgery and then do the same. 

If it wasn't for the fact that the law banned Beatrice from entering the Eternal Academy grounds (Alumni couldn't return without strict procedures) he would just have his OP babe deter all his enemies. 

Still, there were ways around it. Right now, he did not have the power, but if he continued to collect unique power systems like Pokémon, he might be able to get something that would allow him to control the android receptionist and prevent her from uploading his details.
