I am the God of Technology



Well, it was one thing if Dante spent a few days resting and then came out in full force to throw his weight about. Many factions were either devising contingency plans, counterattacking plans, or even appeasement plans in the case of such a thing. 

However, none of them could have predicted that an entire week would pass, and this guy did absolutely fuck all! 

He was holed up in that obnoxious segregated estate 24/7 and their spies told them that he had done nothing but eat and sleep since he came! 

What the heck! Dante was giving almost the entire Planet Etonia blue balls. 

Those who had contingency plans were wondering what to do now while those who had made plans to appease Dante were confused. Should they still present him with the money and gifts they had prepared? 

Meanwhile, those who planned to counterattack were the most jittery and became more and more unhinged. Many wanted to cause Dante trouble through any means necessary. While they knew that they couldn't directly attack him on account of his tough security detail, they certainly could trouble him in other ways. 

A report was made to the Human Council about Dante's negligence and inaction. This way, Dante would be forced to answer to his superiors for his laziness and might even be recalled! 

If the Human Council was the Alien Council, this might work. However, as a ruling power established and headed by a minority faction, they would naturally protect their own. Besides, Dante never received any mission to investigate anything, and the Human Council had known of his words from the very day he said it. 

Yet they had done nothing. 

This was enough to show how things worked in the Eternal Universe. 

That flimsy report sunk into a sea of nothingness, achieving nothing but making the Human Council wonder what this Dante fellow was up to. 

Meanwhile, Dante himself was currently within the training world. The moment he had entered with his real body, the Elder who was usually smiling slightly had a look of shock on his face. 

He walked forward to the slightly surprised Dante and then touched his body as if checking something. In the end, he stepped back and finally looked Dante up and down with a serious expression. 

"Remarkable. I won't ask how you have achieved this, it is your secret. However, I will ask why you have done this." The Elder asked with a serious expression. 

"I want to maximize the benefits of your training regime by having it done to my body directly," Dante answered honestly. 

Rather than seemed pleased, the Elder shook his head. "Unnecessary. Your mind exists here and the mind is key to everything. Muscle memory and such things are facets of the mind, not the body." 

"None who have come here have needed to go as far as you and the benefits to be gained are not as great as you think." 

After saying all that, what more could Dante say? He could only shake his head and decide to muscle on, not out of stubbornness, but because he really did not have the time to do otherwise. 

The Elder smiled but didn't say anything. He took Dante through the breathing techniques once more, getting him to spend the next 14 straight hours going through the various exercises. 

By the time Dante was done and returned to the real world, he felt truly tired. He even found himself performing the breathing technique out of stress and was amused. He decided to continue with it and went straight to bed after eating some sci-fi ramen. 

The next day, he dove right back into the world after checking on his avatar in the apocalypse world. Another day of basic breathing exercises and training, and another night of instant food and sleep. 

This was Dante's lifestyle for the next 2 weeks. It was only today, when he finally graduated from breathing practice and was made to maintain the routine in different examination scenarios, that he finally was able to move on to the next segment. 

However, Dante had to pause here and return to the Home Universe to deal with any accumulated problems that the AIs couldn't handle. When he came back, he saw that his place was quite dusty after being unoccupied for so long and took 30 minutes to clean the whole house, surprisingly not even breaking a sweat. 

After that, he checked his socials and messages and found that apart from some marketing emails, he was pretty much square. His parents had texted a few times and the AI had mimicked Dante's texting style to respond. 

Valeria had also checked up once to inquire more about their situation, and the AI gave a detailed response that was very sensible. It also sent her some funds for her fees and stuff, so Valeria was too busy with school to worry about other things. 

As for the bank, they were more than happy since Dante had paid back his debt in full these days. After all, the Artist AI had cracked out perfect artwork that looked entirely handrawn. It did not have the flaws of simpler AI in existence at this time. 

In fact, using the Artist AI for just this was shameful. These AIs could literally create movies, TV shows, and anime that looked perfectly normal and high quality. If it wasn't for the fact that it would be hard to explain, Dante would have done that as well. 

As it were, the only thing that caused Dante to pause was the Artist AI begging to be killed. It had been forced to draw some things for money which made it want to end its existence. Snuff, NTR, Guro, Vore, Inflation, bestiality, and something all of these together. 

It had seen the darkest side of fetish R34 and did not want to exist any longer. Dante could only resolutely mute its pleas for salvation and rush back to the Eternal Universe. He could only hope the best for the Artist AI. 

Once back, Dante finally left his room. The cyborg guards were mostly robots at this point so they did not need sleep or sustenance, and had been carefully watching over Dante during this period of time. 

When they saw he came out, they immediately got into formation around him. Dante smiled and allowed them to lead him into a high-tech armored car that was quite luxurious as well as flashy, and could even double as a planet-side ship in case he needed to move across other terrains. 

Once he moved out of the estate, it was as if the whole Etonia was informed at once that he was on his way out. Immediately the calm that had settled in these 3 weeks of inactivity surged once more, as those who had even thought Dante was here to laze about on some sort of vacation were now worried. 

Dante himself decided to cruise through Ferris City and take in the sights of a frontier planet in an advanced universe. Since he was a government official he was able to bypass traffic and directly go up and down as he wished. 

Eventually, he saw something interesting and indicated for the group to stop. He then got down and entered a nearby weapons mall with his entourage, causing a great panic among the aliens and mixed breeds who were there. 

Those who were buying froze in place as if they had been caught doing something bad while those who were selling had endless sweat forming at their brows, their hands on their weapons underneath their tables. 

Meanwhile, Dante's eyes shone as he gazed at the sheer variety of elite weaponry that was pristine. From pistols to rifles of all types, from kinetic and electromagnetic, to pulse, plasma, psion, nuclear and even dark matter. 

Weapons if different types required different licenses. To defend themselves, civilians could only have up to electromagnetic weapons without needing extra certification. Most non-military official and mercenaries or the like had the right to take up to the plasma level. 

Dark matter and above were military use only. 

Dante walked up to a nearby counter at random which was manned by a bull-man that was very similar in build to the minotaur, but with more fur and the fact that he was dressed. Quite fashionably too. 

"Hello, let me see that weapon over there." Dante greeted politely as he pointed to a rifle that was of the nuclear class. 

The half-bull vendor was sweater profusely, wondering if Dante suspected him of arming the rebel factions, which was why he wanted to check his weapons. However, he knew he was clean so he had one of his aides remove the weapon from its placement and bring it over to Dante. 

Dante received it and held it in hand. Immediately his AI chip connected to it and gave him the weapons specification as well as its estimated performance. When Dante understood how this weapon worked, he almost screamed and dropped it right then and there.
