Dante was speechless. That was as good as not saying anything. He rubbed his forehead with tiredness and glanced at the other closed rooms where Humphrey and Slessor were probably absorbing as much Zero Energy as they could to empower themselves and increase the Rank of their superpower.
Dante also checked the time with his AI and saw that it had been only an hour since he entered here, which meant that he had been absorbing the energy himself for around that amount of time.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Yet, he did not feel anywhere near sublimation in that regard. He glanced at Xue Bing and asked tentatively. "How long does it take to go to the D Rank from the E Rank after the initial upgrade from the F Rank?"
Xue Bing contemplated for a moment before responding. "The time required to advance from the E Rank to the D Rank can vary depending on the individual and their level of Potential and the nature of their superpower."
"On average, it could take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, but exceptional individuals like yourself might achieve it in a shorter time frame. It ultimately depends on how effectively you can integrate the Zero Energy and enhance your superpower's capabilities." She concluded with a smile.
Dante nodded, absorbing the information. He knew that his progress had been remarkable so far, but he also understood that each advancement would become increasingly challenging. He needed to remain focused and dedicated to his training if he wanted to continue his rapid growth.
Xue Bing manifested her trademark smile that had no benevolence behind it and placed her right palm on Dante's shoulder. "On that note, I need you to do something for me, Dante."
Dante glanced at his materialistic teacher warily. "What would that be?"
"Nothing much. I need you to divulge the full extent of your superpowers abilities and characteristic to me in secret so that we can not only plan the best way forward for you, but also so that we can know how to maximize your advantages." Xue Bing pushed forward.
Dante's expression fell and he took a step back from Xue Bing. "Thanks but no thanks. If there is nothing more, I will return to my task."
Xue Bing watched him go with a look of regret. Even though she did have some concern about Dante, it was definitely not out any benevolent feelings for him, but because he was currently her ward. His continued existence and excellence would yield better rewards for her.
However, just like the teachers who attacked him the other time in order to kidnap him for their factions, Xue Bing couldn't help but hold a hint of greed in her heart. If she could trick her student and win his trust, she would be able to gain even more, especially for the clan behind her.
However, she had been arrogant and in a position of power for too long, so her eloquence had died a long time ago. She was not skilled in using words to make people lower their guards but rather made everyone wary whenever she spoke.
Xue Bing could only sigh and shrug. Whatever, even if she couldn't eat the meat, she could definitely drink the soup, right?
Meanwhile, Dante had returned to his cabin and plopped down on the prayer cushion. He hesitated and made his AI chip access the rooms facilities before releasing the stored incense that would help him feel calm and happy.
A pink mist emerged that wafted towards his nose almost cartoonishly, and Dante had to admit that the scent was amazing. Satisfied, he entered a state of focus and began absorbing the energy once more.
He closed his eyes and was taken into his Soul Space, the area where his superpowers were kept. In the center was a giant gate way that was the manifestation of his superpower, Quantum Entanglement, which was the ability to go between the universe in which modern earth existed and the Eternal universe, the one which he was currently in.
Through the gate, he could see the last location he had been to on the other side, which was the bedroom of his rented apartment. He had no intentions of returning, and he quietly continued to absorb the Zero Energy around him in order to further his superpower.
As Dante delved deeper into his 'cultivation', the pink mist of incense surrounded him, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and focus. He connected with the entire space in a strange way, exploring its intricacies while seeking ways to advance the focus of its existence, his superpower, to the D Rank.
Was it really about sucking in the energy… or was it more about applying the energy?
Within his Soul Space, Dante visualized the gate that represented Quantum Entanglement and its sub abilities, the manifestation shimmering with endless grandeur and might.
He could sense the threads of quantum entanglement stretching across the gate, connecting different realms and possibilities. With each breath, he absorbed the Zero Energy, allowing it to flow through him and infuse his superpower with greater strength.
As he meditated, Dante pondered on the capabilities of Quantum Entanglement and how to push its boundaries further. He had already mastered the basics, allowing him to teleport between the two universes, and he had tasted the sweetness of Quantum Teleportation that allowed him to move between his placed Quantum Markers regardless of distance while he also had nefarious plans for Quantum Transposition which allowed him to enter the quantum world with his real body.
However, Dante wanted to explore the overall superpower fully, especially its potential for manipulation and control.
Just imagine if he could take others with him across his Quantum Markers or he could take people or thing from the real world into the quantum world or vice versa.
Dante in his fervor, looked deeper into his ability and saw intricate patterns of entangled particles, bouncing about in different ways that he could barely fathom. He tried to manipulate the entanglement threads, intending to cause them to vibrate and resonate with specific frequencies.
However, he was clearly overestimating himself as he could barely even move a single tiny thread. To compare, it was like trying to play a tug of war where your side was a single toddler and the other side was the world's strongest men lined up from end to end.
Dante could feel the fabric of reality responding to the vibrations of the threads, bending and warping under their will.His breath couldn't help but catch as he thought of the implications behind this fact and really just how overpowered this superpower might be in truth.
Higher Dimensional Being, oh Higher Dimensional Being, just how powerful are you?
Time seemed to lose its meaning as Dante delved into the depths of his superpower. He focused, pushing the limits of his mediocre control over the core of Quantum Entanglement, trying to break his limits and expand his understanding of its capabilities.
Hours passed, and Dante's concentration remained unbroken. He could sense that this was less due to his own capability and more or less due to the help of the incense he chose. The truth was that only second years and above had reached the high enough Ranks like C and above to begin to comprehend the true core of their superpower, so rather than suck energy, they needed to comprehend.
However, in truth earthling fashion, Dante had skipped steps. At the F, E and D ranks, his goal should just be to suck as fast as he could and raise the grade quickly.
Dante trembled as a subtle shift in his connection to the floating gate between the universes occurred. He felt so much closer to achieving the D Rank, about 75% of the way there.
He wanted so direly to increase his speed at absorbing, but he suddenly felt the incense he was smelling and relying on to maintain focus disappear.
He frowned as his AI chip told him time was up, and he could only sigh since he knew that he couldn't rush the process.
Eventually, Dante opened his eyes and glanced around, emerging from his meditative state. The room was the same as it had been when he began to focus, and nothing had changed. He even felt like not a single second had passed, but that was only because of the nature of the Soul Space.
A full 7 days had passed just like that. He knew he had made significant progress, but there was still much more to explore and uncover.
As he left the cabin and rejoined Xue Bing and the other students, his mind was filled with a mix of solemnity and worry.
The knowledge of dangerous factions seeking control of the Fruits of Condensation added a layer of complexity to his journey in the Eternal Universe, but that was something he could eventually crack.
The secret of his superpower and how it came to be though… that was the real killer.
