BXBX NOVEL Chapter 120 Consequences
Why couldn\'t he just be normal? Such broken abilities were truly frightening for the long run in terms of consequences and effects.
The base ability was fine, changing between universes and two new abilities that compounded on that base ability with each new rank.
But by god, these sub-abilities were truly hair-raising. First, the ability to enter quantum worlds with the real body and now the ability to store items in a special quantum space then retrieve them at will.
Dante glanced at the currently orbiting small gate by the side of the giant one which swirled with blackness, leading to a still void on the other side and knew that this one was the culprit of his new crazy sub-ability.
He shook his head and left the Soul Space.
When he opened his eyes, he realized that the cabin was once again destroyed and the area for 5 miles around it was ravaged. After all, whether it was the base or the sub, they were too powerful for mortal beings to comprehend.
Dante also noticed with a dark glance that there were a lot of people watching him by the side and four charred bodies that were receiving emergency treatment.
Looking to the crowd and seeing that a fearful Humphrey and Slessor were watching him like a demonic beast, then Xue Bing whose expression was solemn and filled with distance, he knew it was not them.
He then glanced at the four bodies and noticed that they were the other four teachers assigned to his batch for this week, and he put two and two together. To be sure, he contacted his AI Chip for a recount of what happened.
[It has been exactly 72 hours and 58 minutes since you began your meditation. In 72 hours and 50 minutes, you made a breakthrough and a huge wave of zero Energy was suddenly absorbed by you.]
[After the breakthrough was complete, you exploded with a stronger shockwave energy and Xue Bing was barely able to teleport everyone else away in time. She cursed that even though they had reinforced the cabin to withstand the pressure of your breakthrough, it had increased exponentially rather than linearly as they calculated.]
[Then the same scene as your previous breakthrough occurred. The other four teachers rushed over and asked what happened but were rebuffed by Xue Bing who directly threatened them and told them to get lost.]
[However, after seeing the extent of your breakthrough, they knew your superpower was greater than anything that had appeared in history and directly teamed up to beat Xue Bing away and tried to capture you while you were still in a trance.]
[I activated your body\'s self-defense mechanism through your nerve system which I assumed to be your superpower that would teleport you away. However, what happened was that you exploded with your Internal Force which formed a barrier around your body.]
[When the four of them came into contact with it, their superpowers and abilities were destroyed, and they were burned until they began to roll and scream on the ground, the hellfire eating away at their life force and souls.]
[Eventually, the central hub issued an alarm and managed to gather the other teachers to save them. They are currently waiting for instruction from the headmistress, and the teachers have been staring at you with malice but do not dare to attack for fear of harm.]
Dante nodded and glanced to the west. The other teachers wondered why he did this until they felt a powerful fluctuation that caused their hearts to skip a beat. Immediately, they glanced in the same direction and saw the headmistress coming down slowly.
Her blazing red eyes landed on everyone one by one, causing them to shiver and lower their heads. When they landed on the four injured teachers, she stretched a hand out and sucked them into the air before her.
She analyzed their injuries slowly, a hint of surprise flashing in her cold eyes. Then, with a wave of her hand, the four teachers were turned into ash after a tiny reddish-blue fire covered them.
This caused the faces of everyone else to freeze with shock and horror. Meanwhile, Lara only crossed her legs in her floating throne and spoke in a drawling voice full of boredom.
"I gave a warning and some of you think you can disobey because of your abilities? Your factions? Or your identity as a pure human?"
"To me, all of these things are transient. If I want to kill you, not even the chairman of the Human council can change my mind or stop me. Let this be a lesson." She concluded before losing interest in these cowardly trash.
She then turned to focus on Dante, and her expression did not lighten or soften, as if no matter how special he was, Dante was just a slightly bigger ant in her eyes.
Looking at him, Lara\'s pupils trembled as she seemed to be dragged into a realm with hellfire and demons about. She stood on a single rock which was the only safe place, but she did not seem bothered.
"Is this your magical power? Hellfire? It\'s not bad, but it\'s barely even planetary level, much less universal or high dimensional." She commented boredly.
When the demon walked over to grab her, she waved a hand and burned it to death using her own fire. A ring of flames exploded from her body that suppressed and took over the entire illusory realm, turning all the demons and sinners into ashes and even evaporating the lava in the pools.
She took one step and entered the coliseum where the man and devil were fighting, then killed them both with a snap of her finger. She only seemed to pause when looking at the fading spirit in the cage by the side before turning the remainder of this illusory realm into ash.
In the real world, she had glanced at Dante before a red-blue fire lit up in her pupils briefly. Dante, who was also looking at her with wariness suddenly felt his hellfire became chaotic and unstable, surging through his body crazily and causing him to spit out a mouthful of scalding hot blood that sizzled when it touched the ground.
Dante was shocked. Within the blood he spat out, one could see blackish-red fire fighting with reddish-blue fire, the two of them consuming each other rapidly until the blood completely evaporated into the air.
Lara only hummed and spoke. "Student Dante, make sure to control your power before you harm everyone you see. I\'d advise you to go to the training world and take the ultimate training courses."
After that, she turned and left, as if not even bothered to deal with the aftermath. The remaining teachers looked at the spot where the other four had been turned to ash and decided not to get involved, so they began to rush away one by one.
In the end, only Humphrey and Slessor were left with Xue Bing, who was watching Dante like a hawk. It was as if she wouldn\'t come close until she was sure he was harmless, which made Dante speechless.
In the end, he ignored the strange space element teacher and delved right back into absorbing the Zero Energy around to raise his progress towards the C Rank as much as he possibly could.
However, Dante experienced the bottleneck that kept others from advancing through the ranks rapidly, which was the need to actually comprehend the ability in question.
In truth, Dante had already attempted to do this ahead of time by trying to manipulate the strings of quantum causality in the depths of his superpower, but it was clear that his current affinity and control were too weak to reach the threshold of the C rank.
The good news was that apart from fulfilling the base energy requirements, he did not need to be in the Black Land to progress or comprehend. Comprehension can be carried out anywhere as long as he could enter the meditative state.
As such, he simply focused on absorbing energy while trying to comprehend the ability with the remaining time he had left. He only seemed to be away for a few minutes in his soul space before he was jolted out of it.
His AI Chip informed him that his time was up, and Dante decided to leave without causing trouble. After all, now that he had the Quantum Depository ability, many things had changed for him, and his plans had to be updated to accommodate his current abilities.
When he returned to his residence, he noticed that the other students had been mostly restored, but he did not actually see them on his way back. Meanwhile, the school forums were ablaze with posts about what happened to him as well as the death of the four teachers.
