[lansmith6: "Well, well, what's this? Dante's started a stream!]

[Jarfulos: "Dante, bro, you're live everywhere! Is this the start of your universal takeover?]

[RupeThereItIs: "OMG! Is that Dante, the legendary quantum traveler? Pinch me, I must be dreaming!]

[GrumpyOldFart74: "Oh great, another Dante spectacle. Just what the universe needed!"]

[DrEnter: "Dante, my dude, you're trending in the Andromeda sector! What's the big news?"]

[MoonWalker87: "Did someone forget to tell Dante it's not April Fool's Day?"]

[Nesavant: "Dante is live! Everyone, stop what you're doing and watch the Quantum Lord!"]

The comments rapidly came in as the livestream started, and people were naturally excited and jovial, passing joking comments and greetings toward Dante or each other. However, even though Dante was the one who initiated the stream, it never focused on him or his place on the ship.

Rather, the livestream was split into four, focusing on each of the four deadly sin demons and their troops massacring the shocked spy factions who had yet to react. As such, the comments quickly changed from joviality to confusion and shock.

[Yaluckyboy09: The heck! I thought I came to watch a stream of Dante; why am I watching some strange species dismember a bunch of innocents?!]

[Aura_Black: Ha, I always knew that there was something up with this Dante fellow. What a sick bastard to force us all to watch this gruesome sight!]

[Tsunematsu: Hold on, we may be rushing to judge without knowing the full facts. Why don't we give Dante a chance to explain himself?]

[Masterkillaboi: @Tsunematsu fucking nerd lol.]

[Kartblaster: @Tsunematsu how do Dante's balls taste?]

[DaMatrix: @Tsunematsu dick riding champion of 10999!]

Since Dante did not explain anything, people understood it as they saw it. Dante initiated a livestream to show his forces slaughtering someone who offended him, and given that they looked helpless and taken by surprise, it was likely some meager force that might have slightly offended him only a little.

What made people's expressions colder was that all of these fellows were aliens, or at least, they were not exactly humanoid. Their species varied, but they definitely fell into the category of what the Eternal Universe would call an 'alien'.

Dante suddenly began to speak, and the entire livestream became silent due to surprise. They couldn't see his face, but they could hear his words clearly as if he was standing right beside them.

"In the First Gate, every universe must battle for territory in a capture-the-flag sort of style. These captured territories do not only allow us to expand our forces and claim more land, but it also benefits our universe immensely."

"The long and short of it is that the more territories we capture there, the stronger every being in our universe becomes passively, and every child born, regardless of species, within this universe will have a higher chance of having superpowers."

"As you can infer, such a benefit is to die for. We fight so much over our 'free' training ground the Zero Gate, so you can imagine the turmoil within the First Gate itself. Other universes will go to any length to secure an advantage, any length."

At this time, the livestream camera focused on Aisha, who held up one of the spies with her long demon tail, her lips parted as she blew a pink mist on his face. The fellow's struggle slowed down as the entire universe watched his eyes become slack, and he popped a shameful boner, alien-style.

Aisha simply smiled playfully and made the fellow face the direction of the camera, which was a drone that scanned the area in 3D. One could choose to view as if they were watching through a screen, or they could project their minds into the scene in real time, invisible to the broadcaster and intangible to the world, but almost physically on the scene.

At first, most people chose to watch in 3D mode because of the gruesome slaughter, but now that the focus was on the sexy Aisha, many directly entered 3D mode so that they could get a better look.

When they appeared, they naturally enjoyed themselves thoroughly for a brief moment at the top-tier eye candy, since Aisha's demon form was scantily clad and bursting at the seams with flesh in the right places while extremely thin in other, equally right places. However, they soon became unsettled when they saw Aisha grinning at them directly as if she could see them. But that was impossible because they were simply projections that were not holographic for the viewers' privacy.

"Tell the world who you are and where you came from, thrall," Aisha spoke commandingly to the charmed fellow, and he spoke immediately in the same language as this universe.

"My-my name is Pakrouti... I am a low-level warrior from the Avernus Universe that was sent here to monitor and disrupt the operations of the Eternal Universe along with my colleagues."

The fellow revealed secrets he swore to die with before his masters with ease as Aisha made him recount everything they did since they set up in the Eternal Universe. As scandal after scandal was released, the faces of the Eternal universe denizens changed from shock to anger, to hatred, and then finally to fear.

The amount of things they had done were truly frightening, and they even played a major role in the current political conflict between aliens, mixed breeds, and humans by agitating all sides many times in secret.

The killing of Portia was their biggest operation, and did the most harm, but the current universe couldn't understand the magnitude of that and rather felt it was a small thing. This was fine with Dante as he wanted the universe to learn about these things piece by piece.

When done with him, Aisha exploded the fellow's head live on camera, but no one was disgusted anymore. Rather, their eyes were bloodshot, some lamenting that Aisha was too brash!

Such a fellow could have been tortured for days and nights before being killed miserably!

"So you now understand the purpose of this expedition. This is a new era for the Eternal Universe, one helmed by me and my forces. I will not be like previous powers who kept you all in the dark, ignorant of the dangers you are facing as well as the choices you can make at the highest level for fear of public uprising," Dante continued speaking as the livestream split into the four deadly sin demons rushing to the next hidey-hole of these fellows.

"These tumors have existed here for too long and must be surgically removed to grant us a chance to heal, no matter what. Learn from this and seek strength," Dante concluded as he went silent to allow the universe to digest everything.

Meanwhile, the four teams were still moving rapidly between locations and engaging the various forces head-on. This was a subtle move by Dante to allow everyone to directly witness the power of his hellfire demons to prove the legitimacy of his claims of domination, as well as incite others to join the faction.

Many wanted to join for sure, but Dante wanted quality over quantity. Thesefirst groups of chosen ones were from family friends and former colleagues, so it was more of a nepotism thing. From here on out, recruitment would be solely based on the quality of the applicant.

Also, it was not like Dante specifically needed the entire universe to join him so that he could have numbers. He could easily turn everyone and give them a variety of powers, yes, but no king conscripted all the peasants in his kingdom for war unless he was either an idiot or desperate.

Dante was neither at this time. The universe also benefited from the growth and reproduction of species, so those without the qualities to become exemplary warriors need not enter the battlefield and should continue to focus on the maxims of mundane life.

Dante checked the spatial blockade and saw that its integrity was still above 30%. Even though the spy forces had continually bombarded it in desperation, as they were culled rapidly by his forces, the offensive power of such methods against his blockade waned.

With a thought, he refilled the blockade with purified space elements, causing its structure to return to form and leaving the few remaining spies who had hidden even more extensively filled with despair and unwillingness.

In a matter of a few minutes, they were all dragged out and killed, some captured to be experimented on later in Dante's base. When the four teams returned to the Abyssal Mandate, they found a satisfied Dante waiting for them.

In a spontaneous display of loyalty, they all fell to their knees in their arranged lines and loudly paid their respects to Dante. This part was also caught on camera for the livestream, making the faces of many change as they seemed to feel the sweltering heat and power from the words even through the Etranet.

Looking at Dante, who had his hands behind his back and his eyes gauging the worthiness of his subordinates, he really did look like a lord of sorts.

"Rise."

Once on their feet, he nodded to them. "Debrief and head to your quarters. We are returning to base."

After acknowledging his command and dispersing, the livestream was cut, leaving the denizens of the universe to deal with their thoughts, the things they had seen and heard, as well as the question of what to do from here.

Dante let the ship enter warp space back to the base while he pondered his next move. It was about time to go into seclusion to work on Quantum Entanglement and his new power system in tandem, while also growing his forces.

He wasn't leaving to the First Gate until Beatrice gave birth anyway, and that was over 5 months away from now, more than enough time for him to achieve many things. Thinking like this, he settled into his seat and sighed with a hint of fatigue as he rubbed his brows, but he soon slapped his cheeks and became focused again.

When they returned to base, Dante was informed that countless dignitaries were offering their sons or daughters to join his force, so he calmly published the requirements for joining to the universe.

Upon seeing it, the various powers could only sigh because they understood that Dante was walking the path of elites, which was exactly what they would do in his shoes, so how could they be angry or dissatisfied?

The fact that he was willing to grant this awesome power to those outside his circle alone showed his magnanimity and his will to help the Eternal Universe grow. Now that everyone knew the stakes of the Universe Battlefield and

what it entailed, they were naturally less inclined to be

small-minded.

This gave Dante the chance to settle down with his beloved and his family, entering the much-needed period of peace and seclusion that he craved. Focusing first on the True Summoner's will, it took him a short few months to raise Levi to the 10-star level as well as Bernard and Dorothy.

He did not claim his remaining seven beasts as he himself reached the 10-star Summoner level, aiming to do so in one fell swoop later. Rather, he spent the next 2 and a half months focusing on Quantum Entanglement day by day, until his hard work paid off.

Finally, on the 21st of June 10999 in the Eternal Universe calendar and 2031 in the Centralis Universe calendar, Dante finally broke through the A-Rank in his main superpower!
