Dante didn't expect there to be such a boon; no one had told him of this! Was it information that was kept secret to limit those who could qualify for territory capturing, or did it require something else?

"Levi?" Dante glanced inward with a blaming look.

"Pssh, my divine domain works on demand, not proactively. You have to ask questions or be in a situation where the information is absolutely necessary before I can reveal anything," Levi rolled his eyes and explained.

"Anyway, yeah, all levels of unclaimed captures reward Spire Points while claiming already captured ten-itories from other universes does not. This is done to prevent universes from ganging up on each other and provide an incentive for genuine expansion, the real point of the Universe Battlefield," Levi continued to say.

"Oh? And how is the payout calculated?" Dante asked with interest.

"10% of the Chaos Will payout," Levi answered lazily.

Huh... no wonder.

Dante realized why he had never heard about it because it didn't really matter. Most people in the First Gate who were even willing to risk it in capturing unclaimed territories would not care about a measly 10% payout.

After all, many could not even pass the basic level unless they had offensive superpowers. The advanced level was literally a hard stop since many species did not have soul powers and would be insta-koed by such a thing.

Dante himself was only safe because Weaver, the Soul Beast, defended his soul 24/7. If we were to look at it like that, the Basic level had a payout of 1 Chaos Will, which meant completing it would award one 0.1 Spire Points. fr eewebn ovel.com

Completing the Intermediate level meant a payout of 10 Chaos Will, so 1 Spire Point for all the trouble. When Dante thought about the fact that even the Quantum Mutation Cores full of flaws could be sold for that amount, he finally understood that the Black Spire was not as black-hearted as he thought.

Anyway, his eyes lit up. With this new method, he could farm Spire Points on the side as he claimed territories, which was killing two birds with one stone. It should be known that the common method of acquiring spire points, apart from selling stuff to the spire, was to kill combatants of other universes.

Regardless of the power level, whether it was Portia-level power or Ricky-level power, it would award 1 point for the kill. So those looking to farm would naturally descend upon weaker universes and initiate a slaughter to farm, which was part of the reason why the population was such an issue despite many centuries passing.

After all, one would grow them to a certain amount only for some crazy dude to initiate a genocide-level attack and then fly off. Most universes, even top ones, were helpless about this since they could not guarantee that every being born could obtain superpowers or the strength to defend itself.

Not everyone could spit out a little monster like Antonia.

Dante shook his head and left the spire. He contacted Ricky over the quantum network and informed him of the successful capture, which left the young man speechless.

"Boss, you just left like an hour ago, and you already have a territory in hand? Most people worked over a long period of time to grind down their doppleganger relying on stamina since it had the same power as they did.

If you could kill your own doppleganger in the span of a few minutes, then what about me?"

Ricky couldn't help but doubt himself and the safety of the universe as he initiated the aftermath protocols, sending a ship loaded with androids over, along with himself. However, before he could send them, he was stopped by Dante.

"Just wait outside."

That was all he said before going off, and Ricky was confused. However, he complied and went outside with the designated builderbots who were meant to handle the construction and building work.

Imagine his shock when he saw Dante patiently waiting outside with his hands in his pockets. Ricky paused to look him up and down and couldn't help but ping Dante's A1 chip to make sure it was the right one.

"Ha, it's me, don't worry. Come over here with the necessary things," Dante chuckled as he waved Ricky over.

Dante glanced at the ship and the various materials that needed to be taken over and stored them in his quantum space. He then placed a hand on Ricky's shoulder and teleported to his quantum marker near the black spire of the new territory.

When they arrived, he released the ship and the various materials out and nodded to Ricky. The young man was stumped at how he was in the sparse savanna-like area one moment and now within a lush grassland.

"You can begin setting up here. I will be heading to the next spot to get it under our banner; Dante patted him on the back and left. Ricky was simply shocked for a long time before he snapped out of it. When he understood what Dante achieved, his face changed greatlv.

"Oh my god, Sir Dante can teleport over such long distances? Then wouldn't we be able to defend any territory?"

Ricky initially wanted to report this because such news was huge and could change the entire landscape of the Eternal Universe within the First Gate, but he paused. He realized that if Dante had not said anything about this before, maybe he didnt want to show it.

"Hm? Then why did he show it to me? Could it be because... he trusts me?" Ricky couldnt help but be stunned when he thought this.

Suddenly, his heart was filled with pride. A powerful and seemingly untouchable person like Dante trusted him so much that she would actually share this secret with him!

Ricky clenched his fists with a look of resolve. "I must take this secret to the grave with me! I cannot betray Sir Dante!"

If Dante heard what Rocky was thinking, he would be speechless. After all, his ability was not a hidden fact but something the entire upper echelon knew. The difference was that given his power and backing, no one dared to command him to use it to benefit the universe.

As for him, he simply traversed the distance to the next checkpoint manually, not willing to waste time traveling by ship anymore. While there was no pressure on him to be fast since he was working alongside Portia, he wanted those Spire Points fast.

Of course, Dante wanted more superpowers; you could never have enough of them. His power systems under Quantum Entanglement were limited to one for every Rank, so he could not always spam them.

To that end, superpowers were a solid way to gain new and useful abilities quickly. Not to mention...

Dante's eyes narrowed as he moved.

He had never forgotten about Levi's revelations about Lara. She was a higher dimensional being, an Eternal, at the peak of that level. She controlled entire authorities, things that formed the core of the universe.

When Dante heard that the whole ass creator of the universe had to beat her up and seal her, he realized just what kind of power such a being possessed and how far he was from reaching that kind of power himself.

The tntth was... Dante wanted an authority for himself!

That's right, this young man of 22 years was so greedy that he wanted what only a number lower than 5 people in the entire universe had!

However, Dante felt like he had seen a path to such power!

It surprisingly wasn't through Quantum Entanglement, but rather technology!

Dante wanted to obtain the authority of technology! From what he understood, an authority was the pinnacle of the elemental/concept/law system, meaning that you are the tme lord of that element and there is no one above you.

However, people in the various universes and beyond could use various superpowers and abilities related to various laws. In that case, would it not be possible to slowly piece together a whole authority for oneself?

And the best building blocks would obviously be superpowers!

Dante wanted to gather ALL the superpowers related to technology and then coalesce them into an authority of technology!

To do that, he would need an insane amount of Spire Points, an amount that even selling a million vials of Nirvana Fire of A Phoenix could not achieve, not counting how suicidal that would be.

So why not keep conquering unclaimed ten-itories and farming Spire Points without causing any trouble? One should know, to effect this plan previously, Dante planned to grow his power and start slaughtering other universes en masse.

With an arguably 'safer' and more stable method like this, he only needed to spend a lot of time and effort to achieve his goal. This was killing three birds with one stone for him!

And so, it was not surprising that in the end, a whole year passed just like this.
