Chapter 342 Nebula Level

?Dante also did not have any delusions of grandeur; he wasn't seeking to create the most stable foundation and use the only heavenly immortal technique with a 0.1% success rate that only cosmic luck that could officiate.

He was perfectly happy using this method because it only changed the starting line. There was a sub-rank system for Origin Gods which served the purpose of showing their progress and strength, but even if one had the weakest Origin Core and Origin Power, they could still grow it to the strongest level in time and with hard work.

So taking the high route only saved time and made one stronger than their peers in exchange for incalculable risks. Dante was in no rush as Etz Chaim gave him a time frame of millions of years, something which seemed like an eternity to the current him.

Dante continued to press and squeeze, using his Origin Core's energy to relax his strain and expended power. While he couldn't directly use the Origin Energy to generate the Origin Power, he could use it in a cheating method like this to keep himself going, which was a benefit of condensing one half first before the other. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

Those who condensed Origin Power before their Origin Core could also use their Origin Power to help them in a similar but different way. The difficulty really lay in achieving the first half; the second half and later were just a matter of time.

Soon, Dante felt like he had compressed the mist-like Law of Technology into a single point. Now it was so tiny that if it wasn't in his soul space, he would struggle to detect it. It was also struggling against his control, much like how you can crush a ball of paper to a certain limit but after that, you couldn't mash it any further.

However, Dante had gone past that limit and the little point of Origin Law that was condensed was trembling like a gatling gun, looking like it would collapse into dust. This was actually very important, for the truly worrisome part came here.

"Explode!" Dante commanded as he ignited the origin law with his soul power and then let go.

The goal was to create a big bang sort of event where the minuscule compressed origin law would be ignited and explode outwards, multiplicating itself and becoming a newer, purer form of power that could be merged with Dante's soul.

The explosion occurred alright, a huge bang that shook the entire soul space as waves of grayish blue gas that was far more condensed than before spread out rapidly, almost covering the entirety of his soul space.

Unlike before, Dante made no move to protect his core and rather let the origin law concentrated there, coalescing into a shining nebula that expanded towards the size of his Origin Core and then linked itself to it, growing further.

Dante closed his eyes and regulated the flow of Origin Energy, allowing his newly born Origin Power to suck as much as it needed to establish itself and consolidate before relaxing the control.

Now, it would only pull from his Origin Core when he wanted it to, or when he was unleashing his power. Depending on the extent of the power he was unleashing, the required quantity of energy would be consumed, which was the true fighting style of an Origin God.

At this moment, Dante was a newly born Origin God!

He did not feel any different compared to before minus the sense of closeness to the law of technology, his mind coming up with various theories and conjectures that whizzed past by the second.

Etz Chaim flew over with a smile. "Congrats, you're now an Origin God, though only at the Nebula level. Keeping working hard and you might reach the universe-level in time, but definitely not before you reach EX in Quantum Entanglement."

Dante rolled his eyes. "Yes, yes, I will focus on Quantum Entanglement now. Also, can you enlighten me as to the various sub-stages of the Origin God realm?"

"Oh that. Well, there are like 6 of them. The first is the half Origin level where you either achieve your Origin Source Energy or Origin Power first. The second is the planetary level, where you have both acquired and in their most basic form."

Etz Chaim glanced at Dante with a look of remembrance. "Oh right, before I forget. You have to note that your Origin Core cannot be actively cultivated into a stronger form, only our Origin Power. When you Origin Power ascends, it will forcibly upgrade your Origin Core along with it to produce higher quantities of energy."

"So the reason for the sub-stages is most to track the growth of the Origin Power more than the Origin Core. Hence, the planetary level means that your Origin Power has condensed into the shape of a planet within your soul space, which is the floor level requirement for an Origin God."

"After that is the Star level, which means your Origin Power has expanded to the size of a star. More than a hundred times bigger than it was before and barely able to contain itself anymore."

"Then poof! It erupts and spreads out throughout the soul space to form the nebula level, where your Origin Power has broken out of its former spherical shape to form a wonderful nebula."

"Once again, it's a process of accumulation until your nebula becomes as large as a galaxy. Then you have reached the penultimate stage, the galaxy level. At this point, your power is pretty much at its peak, and it's really hard to achieve the final level."

"Which is the universe stage I was talking about before. At this point, you are pretty much inches away from becoming an Eternal, but you need to turn your Origin Core into an Eternal Forge and your Origin Power into an Eternal Talent."

Etz Chaim then shrugged. "And that's it. You've already jumped two levels because your Origin Core is so strong and the Origin Power you chose was extremely compatible with you, so it's even possible for you to become an Eternal on your own with this technology stuff."

Dante nodded. "Thanks for the information as always Etz, you're the best."

Etz Chaim folded her arms and nodded with a satisfied expression. "That's right, and don't you forget it!"

Dante shook his head and left his soul space. He first noticed that he had received a lot of pings to his AI chip from various powers in the universe asking about his bout with Lara.

Thinking about it, he decided to reveal a large part of the truth. Lara was a clone from a higher dimensional being that existed in every universe, aiming to use the First Gate to perpetuate the destruction of all universes by consuming the energy that sustains our birth and death cycle.

When Dante sent this information out, everyone was speechless. Out of respect for him, they didn't want to call him crazy but it was clear that no one was buying it. Seeing this from their various tactful responses, Dante smiled with amusement.

In the end, he told them to announce to the world that there would be a livestream of Lara's intentions. While the news networks were busily promoting this with excitement, Dante moved himself to his courtyard and sat beside the pool comfortably.

After a while, he started the livestream which was instantly filled up with hundreds of trillions of people in seconds. The one question that had been burning the entire universe since the fight was why the two fought.

In as much as people liked Dante, there were also many that didn't. There were also some whowere hardcore fans of Lara because of her her cold and domineering behavior as well as her beauty.

"Welcome everyone. Normally its impossible to enter my estate to take a look, but today is a special occasion since we'll be having not one, but two special guests!" Dante greeted everyone casually while laying down comfortably.

Seeing him like this, many were left speechless. Why did this feel less like an official broadcast from the powers that be and rather some young master's stream, about flexing his wealth and power over this poverty-stricken viewers?

"Right, let me invite our special guests. Without further ado, I want you to meet Lara and.. Lara!" Dante said dramatically with a wave of his hand, releasing both clones he had captured in front of him.

One was the Lara from the Centralis Universe who had been captured more than a year ago and the other was the headmistress Lara who had been captured just a few minutes ago.

Both appeared while seated around a small table, that had elegant chairs as well as fine settings. Both were drinking tea from custom-made cups and eating scrumptious pastries that would leave the mouth watering.

They were shocked to be suddenly called out but did not make any move to escape, not because they were happy with confinement, but because in this brief moment, the Centralis universe Lara had already briefed the Eternal universe Lara on everything.

Knowing Etz Chaim's involvement and the grand plan, the clone knew escaping was useless.
