Chapter 328 The Crazy Attempt
"Source of control?" Dante picked up on this term immediately. "Correct. You don't really think as Origin and Eternal beings walk around with billions in stats, do you? I dare say the current you could easily send me, Lara, or Luka flying if you hit us if we're talking about raw power."
Etz Chaim, despite admitting this, did not seem fazed. "However, you wouldn't even be able to kill us with your maximum power, and all it would take us is a snap of our fingers to atomize you into nothing, all your amazing stats be damned."
"This is because of our control over our power, not the power itself. In my eyes, the current you is like a bloated 10 feet tall human whose face cannot even be seen under all his rolls of meat. Yeah, such a person can cause great damage and is virtually unstoppable by other humans, but he is clumsy in his movement and hurts himself more than others, consumes enough food to bankrupt a large farm, and at the end of it all, a simple rocket launcher can end his life." fr eenovelkiss.com
Etz Chaim folded her arms. "So what was the point?"
Dante and Beatrice went silent and shared a look. Dante turned to Etz Chaim with a serious look. Thank you for this information; it has especially highlighted the problem with my thinking and the way forward."
Etz Chaim nodded with satisfaction. "It's great that I chose you; you're extremely teachable. As for your current dilemma, you will have to stay in the First Gate for now while I find ways to help offset your issue."
Dante suddenly smiled. "No need for that. Now that you've described the way to move forward, I perfectly understand how to solve this problem."
"Eh?" Etz Chaim had a big question mark above her head. Dante suddenly exploded with power, his body in reality condensing itself wildly. Within his soul space, the quantum gate spat out all his superpowers and various powers into the void before closing itself wearily.
Dante's soul projection then waved a hand and casually shattered everything. His ball of Hellfire True Qi, his Life Essence core in his heart, his 10 Spiritual Cores, his Blood Qi, his Eyes of Illusion, the Concoction of Absorption, his Soul Tether, and the Libido Seed.
The fragments of each were gathered by Dante into a giant sun-like orb that began to compress itself greatly, causing its mass and density to somehow increase. Dante's face became serious as he compressed and compressed further, trying to make the giant sphere more solid with each attempt.
Beatrice watched on with a strange smile as she moved behind Dante subtly while Etz Chaim's jaws had comically dropped to the ground, her eyes bulging out of their sockets.
In the end, Dante managed to compress the sphere to its limit, but he could not seem to get the .spark' that would light the furnace and keep it burning. His expression became difficult as he continually tried to galvanize the new core, but it simply did not get enough momentum.
While Dante struggled, Etz seemed to wake up and was seriously shocked. "What a crazy human... to try and create an Origin Core and generate Origin Source Energy... he almost succeeded too, but he lacks the powers to achieve it."
Etz sighed with lament. "Unfortunately, I can't help right now because only he can galvanize his origin core, lest his existence still be tied to me even after ascending, which would be counterproductive to our plan." She then hesitated. "But am I really going to let him fail like this? After coming so far and trying so hard?"
While Etz continued to carefully weigh the consequences, Beatrice suddenly struck! She used the full force of her power and blasted Dante in the chest from the back, piercing through his heart and leaving a gaping hole in his body.
After all, by shattering all his sources of power minus quantum entanglement, Dante was as naked as a newborn power-wise.
Etz Chaim's face changed greatly. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Beatrice coldly folded her arms behind her back and focused on the shocked Dante who was gasping for life. "No need to shout at me; he needs this."
'How could anyone possibly need their own soulmate to pierce through their heart!' Etz Chaim wanted to ask, but her words were caught in her throat as if someone muscular had a death grip on her neck.
Because in the next moment, Dante roared as a green light exploded from his body, the energy within so raw and powerful that even Etz Chaim felt fear. Her pupils constricted greatly, and she even had to take steps back, along with Beatrice who was also slightly stunned.
In the real world, the Wasteland of Death, where Dante stood idly with a blank expression ever since Etz Chaim had called him in, was going through great turmoil. First, the area was disturbed because of Dante's Concoction of Absorption swallowing energy wantonly and creating slightly violent winds, but now...
Now things had reached the peak.
When Dante shattered all his powers and began to condense his origin core, the energy suction had stopped, and the world seemed to be at peace, though Dante's presence greatly weakened.
However, the moment Beatrice pierced through him, his body in reality exploded with a green pillar of light that reached up to the peak of the heavens. It spread out further and further, covering the entire Wasteland of Death and even spreading further.
All beings that encountered the beam were frozen in place, trembling in fear from the sheer violent energy. If they unfortunately got swallowed up by the raging energy, it did not even absorb them or anything like that, but rather directly turned them into ash and dust.
Meanwhile, within Dante's soul space, the explosion of green energy was not as violent because the origin core was like a child with a milkshake, greedily swallowing everything within while its size and solidity began to grow piece by piece.
The more energy that was infused, the more it grew, and it even began to show signs of igniting itself. This shocked Etz Chaim who could not, for the life of herself, figure out what the hell just happened.
"W-What's going on...?" Etz muttered weakly.
"It's simple. Just before we came to the Apocalypse World, Dante made a wish to the eternal dragon to grant him the physique of a legendary super saiyan, a fictional concept created by a human that promises great power," Beatrice began explaining casually, not fazed by the intensity of the situation.
"But what does that have to do with this?" Etz Chaim cried out, not understanding how this linked up.
"Unlike regular saiyans, the legendary one has a special ability to raise their energy to match whoever they are facing or as the situation requires. The only weakness is that this takes time so if the enemy surges in power so greatly that you cannot catch up in a short while, you'd lose." 𝙛𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝒃𝓷𝓸𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Beatrice cocked her head towards Dante using her chin. "The reason I struck him is to activate the physique and the super saiyan transformation by putting him in a dire situation. We neither have the time for him to try the current 31 methods for such a being to
transform as in the official media, so we had to resort to this." Etz seemed partially enlightened. "So he's raising his energy to match the origin core? Is that even possible?"
"We should hope so. Given what you told us, his stats are useless, so he's currently burning them as fuel for the physique to raise its ki. After all, while it says that one can raise their ki endlessly, there is no such thing as infinity. For everything except this Origin stuff, there is a source, and the source comes from the body," Beatrice explained.
"How can you be sure that this will work? What even gave you this idea?!" Etz Chaim was speechless. She was the one who called them here to explain things, so why was she being explained to like she was the ignorant one?
"We already had a framework in mind when we did everything. Dante was not entirely clueless about the energy requirement for high stats, so he planned to activate the Legendary SS physique to provide it internally, but your explanation made that plan sound like he would be mimicking an Origin being without one," Beatrice revealed with a chuckle.
"Oh..." was all Etz Chaim could say to that.
So they actually had a plan and knew the consequences? Etz Chaim couldn't help but feel a bit red under her ears from shame, having immediately dragged them here to lecture them like ignorant clowns when they actually had a workable solution.
"Don't sweat it; we aren't so narrow-minded that we'd be angry at someone who has our best interests at heart," Beatrice patted Etz Chaim on the back lightly with a soft chuckle.
Then her expression became serious as Dante roared again, and a shockwave exploded even within his soul space. "Besides, this is the moment of truth. The power of the stats he gained and the physique is almost done; let's see if it's enough to galvanize that thing."
