I am the God of Technology-Chapter 282 Daughters Of Heaven

"How dare she!" Beatrice was furious, looking like she would unhesitatingly brawl with Lara this very instant if she could.

Meanwhile, Portia was solemn. "Lara is truly crazy to kill so many children like that. Even if they had committed a great crime, it is better to make them atone for it rather than extinguish them."

Dante patted Beatrice's back softly to comfort her and help calm her down while he nodded to Portia. "Despite my unhappiness at the moment, I thought the same thing. At the end of the day, the three of us are anomalies, and we do not represent the average standard of quality for the Eternal Universe."

"Put in any other universe, we would shine just as brightly, and the Eternal Universe would have to depend on the likes of those students to maintain its position in the Universe Battlefield. Killing them is like digging out the metaphorical eye of the Eternal Universe."

"She's mad! No one is stupid here, even if she claims she did it to punish them, it was still too much!" Beatrice exclaimed with a huff.

"That's what I also don't understand. Killing them like that is badass sure, and it might satisfy one's emotional feeling for revenge or justice, but in the long run, it's a foolish thing to do." Portia muttered with confusion.

Dante sighed. "She is crazy, and she might think that her actions are acceptable, but that is because she has a different viewpoint from us."

"Oh?"

Beatrice and Portia were startled because from the way Dante spoke, it was as if he knew something crucial.

Dante didn't keep them in suspense and waved a hand, summoning Levi. Levi stretched his wings out majestically and glanced at the mother and daughter duo, his eyes gleaming with surprise and amazement.

Before Dante could even introduce him, Levi directly spoke.

"Dante, I think I understand why you came to this universe specifically and why you were placed on this planet to meet your now partner."

Levi raised a wing and pointed it at Portia. "That woman reeks of Chaos Will. She is the daughter of the heavens, the chosen one of the Eternal Universe who bears all its luck and glory."

"It's why she was assassinated 20 years ago because a stronger universe paid a huge price to send over some forces to attack while disguised as aliens. If they could kill the manifestation of the universe's will, it would severely weaken the universe as a whole."

Levi then pointed its wing at Beatrice. "She is an anomaly, a bizarre existence. The daughter of heaven's will is not supposed to give birth, but the use of technology allowed for the impossible. As such, she is a sort of half-daughter of heaven's will, which is why her superpowers, although the same, are broken and weakened."

Levi then pointed at Dante. "You were saved by the Cosmic Tree after your freak accident and brought here to meet with the half-daughter of the heavens and become her partner. The Cosmic Tree seems to have made some kind of deal with the will of the Eternal Universe, and the main beneficiary is you."

Levi once again pointed, but at Beatrice's swelling belly. "The two of you have created the next daughter of heaven's will because at the time the child was conceived, the first daughter of heaven's will was dead. That was your purpose anyway."

Levi tucked his wings in with satisfaction and seemed amused. "Now the Eternal Universe is stuck between joy and confusion because it has three daughters of heaven's will, one full one who is more than twice stronger than before, one half one, and one incoming one."

The trio were stunned speechless by Levi's revelations. Dante felt like ever since he got this Truth Beast, he had for sure been learning more truths and secrets, but they were far more explosive than he could have ever predicted.

"Will there be a problem?" Dante stifled his other questions because Levi gave him a look that said this was all he could say for now.

Levi hesitated. "Yes and no. Maybe. Sort of."

Levi raised a wing and stroked its beak like a man would his mustache when thinking. "Having heavenly blessed beings is not free; the universe has to sponsor them and validate them. This requires Chaos Origin, and there are only two ways to acquire that."

"The first is through growth. Over time, a universe naturally produces Chaos Origin as the species within grow stronger and spread farther. This is why the existence of life seems to be subtly encouraged by the world. Though, this method is slow, and the amount produced varies greatly."

"The second method is very straightforward, through the yearly dividends from the First Gate. Every captured territory and zone within the First Gate generates a certain amount of Chaos Origin for the universe every year. This is why the Universe Battlefield is so treacherous; all the universes are not just fighting for survival but for benefits too."

"Currently, the Eternal Universe is bringing through its savings of Chaos Origin meant to upgrade its will to maintain the existence of the first daughter of heaven, who is much stronger, the half daughter of heaven, and to facilitate the growth of the new daughter of heaven."

"What!!"

"So doesn't that mean that if the savings run out, Portia, Beatrice, and my child might suffer?" Dante asked with a dark expression.

"Suffer is putting it nicely. My advice is to not let it get to that state." Levi spoke bluntly and honestly.

The trio became quiet and pensive. In the end, Portia sighed deeply.

"You know, I have been having this nagging worry that I need to hurry up and enter the First Gate. When I heard that Lara had not expanded any of our territories since my death, I was filled with irrational fury, but I now know where it's from."

Beatrice's face changed as she seemed to understand something. She became worried and held her mother's hand quickly. "Mama…?"

Portia's face softened greatly when she looked at Beatrice, unable to hide the depth of love and doting she had for her daughter. "Oh Bea, you are so perfect. You are everything I wanted in life and more, so I cannot stand to let anything happen to you."

Portia stoked Beatrice's belly with a soft smile. "Especially since my grandchild is coming. I haven't even had time to pamper them yet, so how can anything be allowed to happen? Don't worry; it isn't like I am going to sacrifice myself. Mommy just has to go to work and bring some money home."

Dante by the side couldn't help but feel a hint of pressure. Even though Portia was talking with a soft tone, it couldn't hide the domineering nature of her words. Nothing in the First Gate could harm her, and she was simply doing some 'work' to bring home 'cash' as if that didn't involve slaughtering countless beings and seizing territories for the universe.

"B-But…" Beatrice began to whine, but Portia pressed a finger to her lips to silence her.

"No buts, darling. Your task right now is to stay still and stay healthy so your daughter can be born without problems while assisting your husband as best as you can. Leave the heavy lifting to me and your dad; after all, that's what we're here for." Portia asserted with a tone that brooked no argument.

Beatrice could eventually acquiesce but hugged her mother tightly. Portia hugged Beatrice back and then glanced at Dante, who was watching by the side with a troubled expression. 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Dante, my excellent son-in-law. It's up to you to take care of Beatrice while I am away. Do not rush to return to the First Gate, even though you are strong enough to carve out your territory there."

"Family comes first. Spend more time with your parents, your uncle, and everyone else. Establish your presence and continue to build your faction until you are ready to make a huge splash in the First Gate." Portia advised kindly.

Dante nodded seriously. He could have long jumped back into the First Gate any time he wanted, especially after fixing his genes, but he especially wanted to secure his backyard before making frontal pushes.

Nurture subordinates in the form of Hellfire demons or superpowered warriors, acquire power and resources as well as favors through the sale of certain quantum goods, establish quantum worlds under his own control with specific power systems that catered to his needs and especially raised Quantum Entanglement to at least the A rank.

There were many things for him to do before that, so Portia's worry was unfounded. Besides, Dante would also love to be more present with Beatrice when she was going through her pregnancy rather than run up and down seeking power.

Especially since Portia was leaving now, Beatrice would definitely be lonely without him since Augeus was swamped with work.

Portia had to repeatedly coax her daughter over and over again since Beatrice held tight and didn't want to let go, scared that her mother might leave her again. Portia's heart ached, and she felt intense hatred towards those who ambushed her the other time, causing her to give this trauma to her daughter.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the silent Levi who was posing coolly.

"Oi, bird. State the name of the universe that orchestrated my assassination." Portia demanded from Levi coldly.

After all, she didn't have a good impression of this fellow who came and dropped bombshells, bursting Portia's happy bubble and forcing her to face reality even though it was for her own good.

Well, your doctor holding a glove stating that he has to do an anal checkup was for your own good, but did it mean that you had to like it?

Levi was speechless. What did I do? I just did my job, which was to state the truth!

"It was one called the Revenant Universe. They are at least twice as strong as the Eternal Universe's natural forces, excluding all daughters of heaven, half or otherwise, or foreign invaders like Dante and Lara." Levi answered honestly, fearing the wrath of a powerhouse like Portia.

"Oh? Great job, can you also state their main territory in the First Gate?" Portia's coldness softened when she realized Levi's usefulness.

"It's within the Southern Quadrant, approximately four hundred territories to the southeast of the Eternal Universe's main territory. The coordinates are…" Levi began listing numbers and letters like a nerd while Portia listened seriously.

"Thanks, bird. I don't know what you are, but you're useful." Portia finally acknowledged Levi with a nod, and the fellow couldn't help but preen himself proudly.

Portia turned to Dante. "Please send us to the Zero Gate. I can only return to the First Gate from there."

Dante nodded and recalled Levi before taking the trio right in front of the Zero Gate. Looking at the massive gate that had only a portion revealed, Beatrice marveled. She was an Elite Batch student, so she didn't qualify to enter the Zero Gate and get fruits; hence, this was her first time seeing it.

Portia rubbed Beatrice's head one last time and then nodded to Dante with an approving smile before resolutely walking through and disappearing into the gate. Beatrice looked distraught, but Dante quickly held her and reminded her that literally no one could harm the current Portia and even if something did happen, they could bring her back.

Beatrice wiped her eyes and nodded, being taken back to Etonia with Dante. From there, the duo continued to design the rest of the architecture and structure of their political authority as well as the business scope.

After about a week, when everything was finally done, Beatrice came to find the Dante who was actively practicing the True Summoner's Will technique to break through to the next rank for himself and Levi.

Beatrice wore a smile on her face as she told Dante to follow her to meet someone who was crucial to their business plans.
