Chapter 155 The Fearsome Eye of Illusions and Quantum Vitality Serum
Dante shook his head. "You fell under the illusion and could not break out. So I got your chip to raise your intelligence with Psionics, and you just came out."
Beatrice's face changed greatly. "Impossible! Even if I succumbed to it, my chip should have pulled me out, right?"
Dante then explained what happened as well as his realization, which caused Beatrice to seem like she had been hit by a pillow to the face. Dante couldn't hold back his curiosity in the end and asked. "What exactly did you see?"
"Well.. I saw you use the illusion and then I easily broke it. After that, we were intimate for a bit before you told me that you were heading to the Apocalypse World in order to raise your SDI. I was about to head to my chambers when I suddenly got pulled back here." Beatrice explained while rubbing her forehead.
Dante was speechless. Just when he thought the Eye of Illusions had surprised him enough, it pulled this. What was the most fearsome kind of illusion? It was the type that was very reasonable and believable, not because it was vivid or true, but because it followed your personal logic and expectations.
In fact, this was why Itachi was so fearsome. Most cheap illusions relied on suppressing the mind of the victim, reducing their rationality as well as their memories while placing them in a situation that invoked immersion like their childhood or some significant event of their past.
However, Itachi's eyes did none of that. You looked at him once, and things proceeded normally, but the entire time you were standing in one place like an idiot. You could have an entire conversation or intense fight with him in your head, but he was sipping tea while watching you hit the air.
These Eyes of illusion, which were based on that but magnified, were even more fearsome. While Itachi's method required active manipulation, Dante's did not. Your mind not only powered the illusion but also followed what you expected events to be like.
Dante could be in a fight with someone and activate his ability. He then left and went home to take a bath, have a meal, and play some battle royale games. Meanwhile, you, the victim, would finish the fight in your head and also began to live life how you normally would for an extended time.
Dante could come 3 years later and wake you up, but to you, the real world would now be fake because nothing in reality followed what you remembered. You would believe in the memories from your illusion more than the reality of your situation.
Now, that.. was terrifying.
Now that Dante had some idea of the effect of his eyes, he was satisfied. The only issue, if anything, was that since these were custom eyes, they did not have a growth method. Basically, its power grew with the growth of his own strength.
For now, that was not a problem since Dante was growing constantly, but he kept this in mind. He glanced at Beatrice who still seemed hesitant, and his expression became distant. Even Beatrice, who had only been trapped for a few minutes, was severely doubting whether it was an illusion or reality, so how could someone trapped for an hour or a day react?
"Why don't you ask your AI chip for verification?" Dante suggested.
Beatrice did so. When she got confirmation, her confusion seemed to clear, and she finally accepted that this reality. Immediately, sweat appeared on her forehead, and she couldn't help but feel a lingering fear when she thought about her doubts just now.
"It reminds me of that historic movie from thousands of years ago.. the one about dreams or something," Beatrice stated as she clasped her hands together.
"Oh, Inception? They also have that here? Nice." Dante nodded as he agreed.
Dante got up and was about to go tease Beatrice when he stopped. He realized that she literally had an illusion of just that, and if he went up to repeat things, she might fall into confusion once more and wonder if she was in an illusion again.
Dante's face changed slightly as he realized that he could never use this power on loved ones lest he leave indelible trauma on their minds. As for his enemies, they would come to fear this ability even worse than death.
Dante was still in the motion of getting up, so he completed the action and walked over to pat Beatrice on the shoulder reassuringly. "I'm heading back to my universe for now. I have some things to wrap up before coming back."
Beatrice nodded and smiled, and she seemed to be much more confident than before. Dante, meanwhile, teleported back to the home universe and dumped himself into his energy pool right away, sighing with tiredness.
Activating his Psionics had drained a lot of his energy, not to mention submerging Beatrice in that illusion. He needed to take some time to not only rest but also recharge his tank so that he could continue his grind.
This time, he didn't spend a whole 6 hours, but only around 3 before he got out and decided to get back to work. Before he did so, he remembered he still had some things pending that he put aside because of his journey to the Zero Gate on this side.
"Show me the results of the research on the Vitality Potion as well as the various techniques and methods that were to be created." Dante commanded his central nexus AI, and a huge amount of information was rapidly downloaded by his AI chip.
Dante did not check the various techniques and methods, as he fully trusted the AI. Besides, it wasn't like he was some professor of them that could immediately tell the authenticity, and he had his future 'protagonists' to deal with that for him.
Rather, he checked the results of the Vitality Potion with interest.

At this point, Dante was no longer able to be surprised. The AI had once again turned the magical resource he gave it into something easily attainable given the Eternal Universe's standards of production, so he immediately had the alchemist bots began to crazily refine a batch of them for all ranks.
He also made them create more Enhanced Energy Elixirs while they were at it. Dante then kept the one he took earlier before heading back to the Eternal universe, and then into the Magus World.
