Chapter 305 Libido Seed
305 Libido Seed
Once the idea came to mind, Dante could no longer suppress it. It seemed like a perfect solution to this problem, and he already had more than a few ideas in mind.
"Good, thank you for letting me know this. In about a month's time, I should be able to move out and start conquering territories. Though, you should note that I will focus on unclaimed territories," Dante stated as he stood up and nodded to the lad.
"Oh...! Thank you, sir, you'll be helping us out greatly!" The Aide's eyes lit up with surprise.
He understood the difficulty of fighting for unclaimed territories. While the ambient monsters' strength varied from territory to territory, the test one needed to undergo to claim the flag/spire was not easy to pass, per se. novelBIn
Even Portia had largely avoided unclaimed territories; most of the ones she had claimed were territories of other, weaker universes around theirs. While this gave them more territory, it also made them offend many other parties deeply.
It was fine if one or two, but Portia, with her strength, basically bulldozed through multiple universes, making them all hate the Eternal Universe with a passion. Not to mention, with the number 1 universe putting her on the front page, she was now the focus of all universes in the First Gate, all of them thinking about how to eliminate this future trouble and her underdog universe.
Dante choosing to focus on unclaimed territories would still allow them to grow while not courting hate from others, also giving the upper echelon time to sort out the political disputes arising from Portia's behavior.
Dante left by teleporting back to his home in the First Gate and letting Beatrice know about his next step. Hearing that her mother had done such a thing, Beatrice was naturally in agreement and supportive of it, advising Dante to do the same.
However, Dante shook his head and knew he could not follow the same path as Portia. He did not agree with her methods, and he was fundamentally a different kind of conqueror than Portia.
Beatrice didn't mind either way; she loved them both unconditionally. She then supported Dante in creating the quantum world for the power system that he aimed to create because regardless of technology, coding was time-consuming.
This was the A1 Dante had brought into the First Gate with him, and he had created a special vessel for it using Nanite Resonance, forming a ring he wore on his right hand's index finger.
With it, he could synchronize with his A1 chip to perform immense tasks that other AIs would require multiple of them to do at once. It was also a major part of the reason why Dante was so confident in his current voyage into the First Gate.
It was also why he dared to tell the aide to wait for a month. One should know, to create the quantum world where the Concoction of Absorption was made, it took them around 3 months or more to get it done.
In the end, Dante managed to create the necessary quantum world with the help of Beatrice and his many tools. This world was a small-sized one once again because creating anything bigger would require far more time than he could provide.
This time, Dante and Beatrice were smarter than before, having made it Earth during the primal era, which featured more plant life and fewer sentient beings because those required extremely complex behavioral programming.
Interestingly, Dante also chose to make the new power system a one-off one like the Eyes of Illusion and the Concoction of Absorption because, as you could imagine, creating complex power systems also required far more work and time than even coding sentient beings!
Frankly, the more Dante worked on his own quantum worlds, the more he respected Kurtaghagt and the Etraverse Corporation, and even more so the Eternal Academy and their famous worlds.
God knew the amount of work they had put into creating all those expansive worlds with such complex inner workings.
In the end, the method Dante created was something he called a 'Libido Seed.' It was a seed similar to those within watermelons that had to be ingested by a person. It would then break down and release its special substance that would change the physiology of the consumer, increasing their libido proportionally to their stats, removing all negative aspects of it—long gestation, birth complications, and pain, etc.—while enhancing the beneficial aspects.
Likewise, the born offspring would undergo safe accelerated growth until they reached adulthood by absorbing ambient energy, which was targeted at the ever-present Zero Energy.
As for the character and mental state of the child who went from newly born to 18 years in the span of a month, that was easily fixed by having the child undergo a coma-like growth, allowing implant A1 chips to simulate their growth.
In other words, the child would be born, be injected with the nanites, sleep for a month, and outwardly go to being 18 years old, but during their I-month sleep, they experienced the full 18 years of life with their parents in the First Gate.
Of course, this was not foolproof. Cultivated friendships could not be replaced, and upon waking and finding the truth, such newly forged adults might undergo a crisis of self.
However, this was already the best short-term solution Dante could find that surpassed using clones and the like.
