Chapter 259 New Goals
Unfortunately, this technology was patented and completely unavailable on the market or in any database that Dante could access as they had a full monopoly over it that was recognized by the Prime Human Council.
After coming back from the First Gate, he planned to open his own corporation first and then rise to one of the top factions through his abilities and what he could provide, then use his built-up influence to battle it out with the Etraverse Corporation until he swallowed them.
However, his mother-in-law was more direct and domineering, directly providing him a platform to seek what he wanted without paying any price. That was why he readily accepted the terms the Supreme Council set and did not show any anger or dissatisfaction by berating them.
Dante was willing to be honest and say that if they could really grant him this, he would wipe off around 60% of their grudge and only beat them up a little in the future. If not, it should be obvious what their fate would be for almost killing him.
"This…" Ophelia hesitated and glanced at the others. They also had troubled expressions because it would be easy to use the law to twist the arm of the Etraverse corporation, but the person heading it was a true powerhouse who knew too many secrets.
If he was furious and rebelled, decided to betray the universe, it would deal them a serious blow.
"Are you people stupid? Putting aside the fact that one of the main pillars of our society is run by an alien, you are worried about his reaction when I can easily make up for a hundred of him?" Portia stated with dissatisfaction.
Immediately, the seven woke up from the considerations.
Yes, that was right, we had a nuclear warhead in our hands, why would we be afraid of a country that only had foot soldiers at best? If anything, they should obediently hand over their sovereignty if they wanted to live.
Ophelia\'s eyes flashed. "We agree to your terms."
This sealed the deal as Portia fully retracted her aura, and everyone finally felt like they could breathe. The other members of the Prime Human Council were pensive because they could feel a social upheaval coming on with Portia coming back and Dante\'s rise, as well as the existence of the First Gate.
Incidentally, whether it was Portia or the Supreme Council, they never actually talked in detail about the Black Spire and its benefits. They did not even mention that the First Gate had thicker Zero Energy for superpowers than any Black Land.
After all, some things were better left as a secret because the chaos they would cause would be too much.
Since they were done, Portia calmly strutted out while Beatrice continued to mimic her like a groupie. Dante and Augeus shared a look and decided to remain to handle the aftermath and try to soothe various issues.
Eventually, they all met up in the dreadnought a few hours later and returned to the Portinari clan\'s main hall. Seeing the other planes and planets belonging to the Portinari clan that were operating as usual, Dante was amused.
They were completely ignorant of the upheaval that had occurred at the seat of the universe\'s power and how greatly things would change for this clan now that their main backer was back in action and even more powerful than before.
Anyway, he now had other things to focus on, so he drew up his previous goals listed to see those which he accomplished and those which still needed work from him.

There was nothing more important to a man than being able to achieve his goals in life. A man was a goal and success-oriented being that thrived off hard work and accomplishments, which was why so many modern men were depressed because it was impossible to realistically achieve most goals men consider important.
For Dante, seeing the many \'completed\' gave him a surge of joy and dopamine. The \'partial success\' made him frown a little, but it was more of an "in-progress" thing in which he had completed a part.
As for the \'not completed,\' it ruined his mood and left him dissatisfied. He looked at the current list and then thought about what he had to do in the future before restructuring it by removing some and adding new ones.
The new list was as follows:
1. Secure the Wasteland of Death in the First Gate as his base. (Highest Priority)
2. Reach the S rank and beyond with Quantum Entanglement. (Highest Priority)
3. Officially marry Beatrice and have a grand wedding. (High priority)
4. Replace all of his created tech in the home universe with his own personal creations. (High priority)
5. Make sure to monitor the home universe\'s Zero Gate and prevent anyone from accessing the First Gate to prevent activating its battlefield. (High priority)
6. Acquire the technology from the Etraverse Corporation and match with Quantum Core to create useful quantum worlds with personalized power systems. (High priority)
7. Utilize his Nanite Resonance and Quantum Core to raise protagonists and soldiers in his private army. (Medium priority)
8. Fully conquer the totality of the home universe and began preparing it for the First Gate through extensive education and training. (Medium priority)
9. Communicate more with the Cosmic Tree and try to find out more about higher dimensions. (Medium priority)
10. Try to contact other universes through the First gate and acquire access to their realms. (Medium priority)
11. Deal with the Eternal Academy and especially Lara Sanguis. (Low priority)
12. Perfect the Raging Blood Halberd Technique, the Primal Ape Technique, the Inferno Ascension Technique and the Void Speaker Chant. (Low priority)
Looking at it, Dante was happy because it was more condensed and organized. Hopefully, this time, he could achieve everything by the time his child was able to give him grandchildren of his own.
Dante decided to get on with some of the tasks right now. His Quantum Clone had been re-summoned by him and was recreated on the spot. It gained his new stats and abilities, but did not gain his two new superpowers, much to Dante\'s surprise and disappointment.
That significantly impacted his plans, but he decided not to make too much of a big deal about it. He left the clone here to handle things in his stead, especially with the establishment of his company and force.
As for his main body, he naturally returned to the home universe\'s central base on earth. Glancing at it, his expression couldn\'t help but darken when he thought of the fact that there were backdoors and loopholes in everything.
Then again, that was exactly why he had come back, no?
Thinking like this, Dante entered the core of his base, where the AI\'s were. He then ordered them to shut down for maintenance, something which they fully complied with as the backdoors that the Eternal Universe had left in the fundamental code were of the spyware type.
They did not use the malware type or the takeover type, where they could forcefully take over his command because what if Dante discovered it? He was also not their enemy at the time, so they only wanted to know his secrets.
It was actually easy to eliminate, but Dante had trust issues now. He would rather rebuild everything from scratch than continue to use what others had \'spread their seed\' all over; he began from here.
Using Nanite Resonance, the entire base surged with activity as the nanites that formed the building blocks of it began to restructure and reshape themselves, while the parts that were not made up of it were immediately covered by them and broken down before being rebuilt exactly as it had been.
The difference was that now, Dante was sure that it was done using his own hands and was free of any external influence. With his Nanite Resonance at the EX rank, he could easily cover the entire planet and had the bases of earth undergo the same thing.
Even humans with genetic enhancements and nanites who had no backdoors built into them were restructured, but they hardly even noticed it with Dante\'s current control.
It took Dante all but an hour to get it done before he used his space magic to enter outer space with his raw body and then do the same for the orbital station in around earth and all the bases in the solar system.
An entire day had passed, and Dante had to stop because he realized how futile his thoughts were. With how much his mechanical army had been conquering, if he were to dedicate time to rebuilding everything, he would need hundreds of years.
Dante realized that indeed, he needed a fully software-related power to clear this issue because it was mostly a software one anyway. As long as he could use a method to scour the entire network that he controlled and clean it up, the problem would be good as done.
However, Dante was unwilling to give even one vial of Nirvana Fire of a Phoenix to the Black Spire. One or two could be explained, but having three or more made it seem like he had a constant source, which could alert the entity behind the Black Spire.
Currently, Dante only had the qualifications to protect his life in the First Gate if he went all out. He was far from casually waving a hand and making everyone bow like in the normal universe.
He would get there, but he needed more powers. Thinking like this, Dante considered his current powers and those he had planned to get and realized the importance of the Etraverse\'s technology to him.
As such, he could only let his AI come back online and continue their basic directives universe-wide before returning to the Eternal Universe. He only just returned to the observation deck of The Inferno when Beatrice contacted him.
"Hey handsome, are you busy?" She playfully solicited him.
Dante smiled. "Not for my babe. What\'s up?"
"You told me you could let us enter Quantum Worlds now as long as we stay near the marker, right? Well, I told mom about it and she had a great idea. Come and pick us up from the house." Beatrice said with a hint of excitement.
"Oh? On my way!" Dante said with surprise.
Knowing Beatrice and her tone, the two of them should have found a way to grant him even more power or something that would allow him to achieve his goals. As such, he did not waste even a second and left The Inferno, appearing in the European-style manor of the Portinari clan\'s main family.
