Chapter 150 Choosing A New Power System 1
Dante sat up and immediately teleported into the Eternal Universe, right into the observation deck of the Inferno Dreadnought. There he saw Beatrice seated on her couch lazily, half-naked as usual and very comfortable.
Dante was about to speak when he simply swallowed his words and pounced. He immediately pressed Beatrice down and kissed her voraciously, digging deep into her mouth and merging their tongues together.
Beatrice did not struggle and seemed to enjoy this deeply as she hungrily kissed back, igniting the fire of passion between the two. Their hands began roving each other's bodies, Dante caressing her breasts that were soft like thin pillows in terms of the skin, but firm like a mattress when squeezed.
As for Beatrice, she immediately skipped over Dante's now hard rod and directly grabbed the precious family jewels, squeezing them extremely lightly enough to stimulate, but not enough to hurt. While their arousal was ever increasing, they continued to feel each other out until Dante finally broke the kiss.
Beatrice's long purple hair was splayed on the couch, and her beautiful amber eyes were filled with desire and love. Looking at her perfect face which could likely be mistaken for an AI depiction in the home universe, Dante felt his entire being sublimate.
A woman this perfect was his soulmate, his partner in life and death, and lusted after him from the depths of her heart. This kind of feeling was something that could not be easily explained, but a surge of masculine confidence and pride entered Dante's heart.
Despite himself, Dante rather calmed down and simply caressed Beatrice's face gently while his arousal receded. With the masculine confidence of possession came the masculine urge to protect.
Dante had not felt it much before, but now that he recognized his affection for Beatrice, a sense of delicate gentleness and the urge to protect appeared in his heart. He usually only felt the urge to dominate and subdue when he was seeking a sexual partner, but now that he had secured a true partner, that urge disappeared.
Dante felt like now, more than ever, he had truly matured from a boy into a man. He understood that what separated a man from a boy was how they channeled their aggression, which was a fundamental part of being a male.
Boys channeled their aggression onto others for their own personal benefits or satisfaction while men channeled their aggression onto others in order to protect their kin and allies. Dante also knew that this feeling would strengthen if he became a father.
"What's got you so hot and bothered?" Beatrice asked lazily, raising her hand to caress Dante's broad chest.
Dante was snapped out of his thoughts and smiled. "I took a Solaris ship over to my side and traveled to where the Eternal Academy would be located if it existed over at my side. Guess what I found there?"
Beatrice immediately became interested and sat up, sitting herself beside Dante as she smiled at him. "Tell me, I'm curious."
"It was the Zero Gate that's got everyone crazy over here. It's like a gigantic black hole without the suction effect or the crazy mass, rather spitting out endless Zero Energy for superpowers."
"Around the Zero Gate are countless asteroids and small planets soaked to the gill with the energy. What's truly shocking is that every inch of space is taken up by a random species or being from my universe, all wearing some type of inferior space suit." Dante elaborated with a calm tone.
Beatrice's eyes flashed. "Something is going on there? An organized system? Same equipment despite the differences?"
Dante nodded. "I thought so too, so I left the ship there to scan the area while I started constructing war units at my base. I don't have the raw power to take them down now, so I'll rely on the technological advantage to grind them down."
"Oh? My Dante is so smart and handsome, definitely better than that trope Zhuge Liang or whatever." Beatrice praised while stroking his hair.
Dante knew it was flattery but he liked it. It wasn't only men who could give sweet words to women to boost their ego, but oftentimes the same happened right back if you had a girl that actually loved you.
"Right now, I had a thought and realized I need your counsel Beatrice. I need to find a world that can allow me to cultivate or empower my soul." Dante pointed out what he realized he lacked.
"Hm? That's right, you have two physical methods for your body and two magical methods that correspond to energy and the mind respectively. What you need is something to empower your soul or spirit so that supernatural methods cannot necessarily bother you." Beatrice assessed as she agreed.
"But you have your hellfire right? It can burn negative thoughts, emotions or any spiritual related method aimed at you right?" Beatrice pointed out.
"That is correct but it's more of a defensive thing. I want something that can manifest itself and attack, support, and defend all in one, as well as give me unique uses for my soul." Dante corrected with a shake of his head.
Beatrice hummed and began browsing through her shortlist of worlds. She was moving through them at the maximum speed her AI chip could do with her Psionics activated. In fact, Beatrice's current mental force was so strong that Dante felt like someone was pressing down on his brain.
The entire Inferno Dreadnought that was slowly moving through space seemed to grind to a halt, unable to move due to some force keeping it in place. Around Beatrice's body, the world itself warped like a glass of water that was stirred, causing an effect like ripples to appear.
Despite this, it took Beatrice about 20 seconds to finally return to normal and show Dante the list of worlds she had gotten. She seemed a bit haggard from activating her power which greatly increased her already delicate energy consumption.
While Dante was prepared to look through, Beatrice opened his trousers and took out his proud young master. This made Dante glare at her and ask: "What are you doing?"
Beatrice arrogantly stroked it gently and smirked. "Recharging. I'm taking my energy consumption fees for helping you."
After saying that, she lowered her head and began to work on extracting her 'meal'. Dante could only close his eyes and try to focus amidst the intense sensations coming from his lower body, checking the worlds that Beatrice had highlighted.
They numbered 3.

Dante raised an eyebrow. This was something he was familiar with, as the current depiction of deities in most games and books were a bunch of fellows who relied on the faith of their believers to not only grow, but also to survive.
It was a completely new interpretation of gods compared to the traditional where their powers were typically their own and they simply just liked to either fuck with humans, fuck humans or fuck around with humans.
This new interpretation put the power in the hands of the humans and also showed the exploitative nature of gods as they needed to keep their believers aligned with a certain train of thought in order to survive and gather faith.
To be honest, Dante did not favor this option. It was something that could be practiced in reality if he ignited the divine fire and set up his divine altar and divine spirit, thereby allowing him to smelt faith no matter where he was, but it still relied on external factors too much.
In fact, he had a feeling that he could even completely replace faith with psion energy, which was a similar thing. Psion energy was the energy produced from the collective force of sentient consciousness.
If it was alive and had a brain, thereby producing thoughts, it produced psion energy. The Eternal Universe had already excavated the totality of this energy sub-type many thousands of years ago, and their conclusion was only to use it for powering things, but never to obtain power.
No matter how well you 'refined' psion energy, it was energy formed from thoughts. If you absorbed that into your mind or soul, you would inevitably be influenced by those thoughts either subtly or overtly.
