Chapter 123 A New Power System
Beatrice hesitated. "In truth, it\'s better for you to focus on the True Martial world and maximizing your training. Mother will understand if I wait a few months for you to achieve perfection."
Beatrice naturally didn\'t think so, but she couldn\'t sacrifice Dante\'s own progress for her own selfishness easily. It was fine enough to know that he had the intention and the ability to do it, so waiting a few months or having it instantly did not make her too impatient.
In fact, having some time as a buffer could let her better prepare things for her mother\'s return, especially in terms of getting her father ready for it.
Dante shook his head. "With the ability to take things in and out of Quantum Worlds, it no longer matters if I stay in Quantum Worlds like the True Martial World. I could store any amount of blood energy soup I want, and I even want to use the advanced AI of the battleship to calculate a better replacement for it that I can take into the next world."
"Also, it is in my best interest to enter as many useful Quantum Worlds as necessary. The more power systems I can add to my repertoire, the more diverse I can be when I enter the Zero Gate." Dante explained seriously.
Beatrice looked at him strangely. "With your current SDI and abilities, I doubt many of your fellow students can threaten you in the Zero Gate, right?"
Dante nodded, but a hint of fear appeared in his eyes. "That\'s true. After my recent visit to the school, I\'ve realized that I underestimated myself too much and I can stand against some of the best superpower users on my own."
"But what I fear is not my fellow students but the ambient dangers in the Zero Gate itself. These things have been there for who knows how long and have taken the lives of countless superpowered students. I can\'t afford to be weaker than them."
Thinking about it, Beatrice deeply agreed. She would not be able to reconcile at all if Dante fell in the Zero Gate because she held him back from getting stronger. Since that was the case, then she could only support him in every way possible.
"Okay fine. There are many magical and high-fantasy worlds with items that have insane effects if brought into reality." Beatrice began thoughtfully.
Then she shook her head. "However, there are problems with such worlds in that the power systems, even if you learn them, cannot be used outside. They require various special energies and laws to exist in reality that factually do not."
Beatrice opened a holographic screen before her and flipped through them rapidly. She then smiled and pointed at one.
"However, there is one type of magical world where the practitioners do not use ambient energy to fuel their power but rather their own spiritual power honed through various resources and meditation." Beatrice stated as she sent the screen to Dante.

It was very similar to the True Martial World in that it was shared, had an unlimited duration, and the goal was to climb as far as you could in the power system before you died. It also banned everything except a student\'s natural talents and set their SDI to 1.
One could also choose their starting point. Dante smiled as he nodded to Beatrice and walked over to sit down, pondering what to do next.
Even though he could raise his Raging Blood Halberd Art to the Martial Warrior Realm and then stabilize his genes for the next round of harvesting in the Apocalypse World, Dante refrained from doing so.
After all, the issue was that with every growth, the practice might become a bit harder. Not to mention that Dante knew a bit about this Wizard Cultivation genre, as one of the most popular web novels on earth came from it, featuring one of the top ten edgelord main characters in web novel history.
While the wizard system was self-explanatory, the knight system should be able to achieve the effect of the external martial arts of the True Martial World. The reason Beatrice didn\'t choose this one for him back then was probably that the knight system was generally one level weaker than the martial artist system.
Still, if he could practice the knight system, he could do simultaneous breakthroughs back to back with the knight system and the martial arts system to double the amount of stats he can absorb.
Thinking like this, Dante no longer hesitated. He entered the Magus World and was prompted to enter his character background and starting point. This would affect the difficulty of his climb and would also affect his Supercoin payout.
As such, Dante began to write the biggest and toughest background, choosing the most powerful city in the entire world as well as the most powerful family, stating that he was a genius born into that family that the biggest wizard force wanted to recruit at all costs.
Just as he was about to select, his body froze as his mind seemed to run on its own. His Inferno Ascension technique sent a wave of fire to his head through the Limbo Enkindling and cleared his mind, burning away his thoughts.
When Dante\'s mind cleared, he was shocked by his own foolish thinking. Of course, it was a great idea to start with the highest starting point because he did not necessarily care about the Supercoins, so why should he make it difficult for himself for no reason?
Not to mention it was a virtual quantum world, so he could play as he wished. This was what he thought as he entered those details, but he was forgetting that he would be entering that world with his real body!
If he entered the strongest family of the strongest location with such a high-profile background, he would be subjecting himself to the highest powers of that world, which were Rank 9 wizards.
God knew if they could turn him into atoms before he could even think about running away with Quantum Entanglement. If he died for such a reason, it would truly be a foolish and short-sighted death.
It was thanks to his Internal Arts that cleared his mind and washed away the influence of arrogance. After all, increasing his SDI to a top level in the \'super
ior\' Eternal Universe, having the arguably strongest woman in the universe as his babe, seeing the effect of his Internal Arts on his \'OP\' classmates, and knowing how deeply various factions drooled over him had made him a bit overconfident.
Luckily, the Inferno Ascension technique was one based on hellfire and ascending through hell, which granted Dante not only various powers but control over hellfire itself which could burn the mind, soul, and emotions.
Dante knew that going the low route too had problems, which was why he chose the middle route in the True Martial World, and that was the same thing he would do here.
No background or family to tie him down, clean history that cannot be overly traced and what could be traced was not suspicious, and finally, placed right at the \'gate\' of finding the entry to the world\'s power system.
Dante did a bit of a search and found a powerful wizard faction with means and resources to form up to Rank 9 wizards which also allowed for the training of knights. He chose to be taking the test of that force with a background of an orphaned noble baron of that empire whose parents were killed by the wizards of the opposing faction.
This would give him clean entry since he would be perceived to have hatred with their enemies and motivation to grow stronger. As such, Dante selected this background and his mind descended into the virtual body generated within that world.
