What left them baffled was that this item was a platform that was around the size of a typical teleporter but much more aesthetic and unique. While everyone stared at it with curiosity, Dante explained its purpose and function.
"This item is a special one, and it took a lot of effort to make. It is a quantum ascender, which is a tool made for each and every one of you. It has only three functions, but each function required so much power and concessions to make that I still shudder at the thought."
"The first is that it allows you to enter designated quantum worlds with your real body temporarily. You cannot stay in these quantum worlds permanently, but you can infiltrate them and make use of their various services, especially relating to quantum beings. Not that you do not have a quantum body, so you cannot use any items or power systems from quantum worlds you enter lest you suffer quantum poisoning."
"The second is that you will be able to cure quantum poisoning on yourself if you do unfortunately contract it, but quantum poisoning spreads fast and within seconds, easily capable of killing any of you before a minute passes, depending on how much gets into you. Be sure to always have your quantum ascender available for purification purposes in that case, but it can only purify up to a certain amount before you need to return to base for proper treatnt."
"The third and final ability is why it's called the quantum ascender. It allows you to select any quantum being to be your 'summoned beast' in a sense that you can bring it - or them - to reality in their full glory to fight for you. However, you must note that they will be bound to your soul space, and their source of energy will co from you, so I would not advise taking god-level beings from fictional quantum worlds because just a single step from them could drain you into a husk." Dante said this one with a pointed look.
Many expressions that had been full of nefarious intent and cleverness changed, becoming despondent. They had naturally thought to be smart and seek the services of extrely powerful quantum beings to raise their standing and effective power, but it was clearly more than just that.
They had not taken any of the enhancents yet, but hearing about their utility and rules had already made them feel the pressure of their energy budget. Adding a needlessly powerful quantum being to that budget would likely have them living in energy debt.
Rather, it was up to them to sift through the many quantum worlds, even the ones they could craft with their super quantum AI chips provided by Dante, and pick a being that had great utility with minimal consumption.
Dante glanced at the thoughtful fellows and nodded with satisfaction. In truth, he had originally only planned 3 stages of enhancents, but it was Antonia who suggested this one and assisted him in crafting it.
The difficulty he faced was no joke, and he imdiately understood the gap between an Origin Power - and maybe even an Eternal Talent - and a real authority. What he could effortlessly do with limited restrictions under Quantum Entanglent required so much tweaking, compromises, and concessions to be able to barely function.
Even Beatrice looked surprised that Dante would give out one of his abilities from Quantum Entanglent like this, though greatly neutered to less than 1% of its true potential. Still, it was Dante's decision to make, but she did notice the smug smile on Antonia's face.
Dante snapped his fingers to attract everyone's attention, gesturing to the final item which had been dispelled of its orange light, revealing it in its true form.
To no one's surprise, it was a fully functional and extrely aesthetic humanoid cha. It stood at around 9 feet tall and was extrely sleek and not very bulky, with wings erging from its back that ford twelve appendages.
"This is the final enhancent provided to mbers of my new army, which is the Supre cha. This ch suit has functions and capabilities beyond anything you could imagine, much like the previous enhancents, but these ones will truly seal the deal." Dante stated with a confident smile, proud of his great creation so far.
"As usual, I will only state the key features of the enhancent and leave the rest for you to discover. First things first, this ch suit is a mobile fortress of power and logistics for its user. It is in possession of the most advanced dical technology for its host, able to sustain your life functions in any environnt and protect you from the intrusion of any foreign elent, even quantum poisoning."
Dante then smiled playfully. "Don't even think about being smart by putting this on the quantum being you want to summon, as it does not protect from the poisoning quantum beings suffer from entering reality without using the quantum ascension device."
Once again, many faces fell in disappointnt and frustration as their quick thoughts were shot down continually.
"Secondly, the Supre cha can spawn mini-chas that are fully linked to your AI chip, controlled with split consciousnesses from your mind. To be honest, you can create as many mini-chas as your mind can handle, so I emphasize cultivating your soul and mind as much as you can. Each mini-cha has about 10% of your supre cha's power as well as most of its abilities."
"Using the version of yourself that should exist after all five enhancents, if the final version of you is as strong as a galaxy individually with everything equipped, then the mini-cha is mid-planetary level. Use it wisely."
"Thirdly, the Supre cha possesses all the functions of a space ship, from mobility, transportation, and even firepower. You don't need to get on any ship henceforth to travel space, you ARE the ship. You can enter warp space with the cha to traverse any distance and seamlessly move anywhere in the universe you want including when within quantum worlds."
"Fourthly, you can also establish bases autonomously when in deep space. The supre cha can create nanites to form up to a giant-sized star base for you to rest and recuperate when in unknown territory."
Dante shrugged. "After all, we haven't even explored the totality of our own Eternal Universe, how could we possibly know the full layout of the universes you'll be descending into? Always establish bases where you can and fortify them before moving on, setting checkpoints for yourself."
"Along with that, the supre cha can provide you a small amount of energy when it is equipped. It has its own power core powered by energy that you cannot currently comprehend, and no matter how you push it, there will always be a small excess that will be supplied to your Polyr sh. Use it wisely to manage your tight energy reserves."
"Last but not least, the Supre cha has the ability to multiply the strength of all your previous enhancents functions but at least two tis. This is a passive feature and one of the main crowning achievents of this fifth and final stage." Dante concluded with a slight glance back to the glistening machine behind him, seeming as if it had a life of its own.
"Now I know you're excited to go through everything right away and obtain untold power, but I want you to rember that all of this cos with a burden of responsibility. Since I am empowering you so greatly, I don't plan to send groups of you into one universe, or there would have been no need to invest so much to make you unparalleled elites." Dante began seriously, causing the rising impatience to start the enhancents among those listening from all walks of the universe to die down.
"You will each be individually deployed to a single universe and be expected to either take it down or drag out the existence of Lara Sanguis' clone within a year. Failure to do so will incur penalties, the least of which is stripping everything I gave to you away."
Dante's cold words caused so to feel a chill, but others nodded their heads while a small percentage shook their heads speechlessly. They thought that Dante was far too kind, being given such power and not being able to wreak absolute havoc within a year was inexcusable.
It was either one was lazy or incompetent beyond asure, or that they encountered an inexplicable situation in the universe they descended into that held them back.
Beatrice also smiled with amusent, feeling that Dante was too generous, but then again, that was generally how he was anyway. If he was as ruthless as she was, their chemistry would not be as good and Antonia would suffer for it.
"But enough of that. As of here and now, I announce the formal establishnt of the new army under my banner, with the presence of all recruits in attendance." Dante dispelled the rising tension with a blooming smile as he spoke grandly.
"Give a cheer for the newly ford God of Technology Army!"
