Chapter 347 Recruitment

Chapter 347 Recruitment

??The cultivators were naturally shocked to receive such an item, but they could feel the intense longing in every cell of their body toward the core that Dante created when he tossed it over to Daoist Chen.

They had the illusion that if they could consume and refine this core, they might actually be able to break through to the next level and to the world Dante spoke about!

Of course, this was an illusion. Dante might have cut off his presence in the origin energy so that they wouldn't become his puppets after refining its energy, but it was still near impossible to rely on the origin energy of another to break through.

Otherwise, all Origin Gods had to do to create allies would be to spam this method, and the realm would not be so rare and unobtainable. As for what they actually did with the core, Dante did not much care.

With Beatrice having taken out most of the world's top cultivators apart from the Pure Heaven Sect, the balance of power around the entire Immortal World was about to change greatly. If the Pure Heaven Sect were smart, the aftermath should be of great benefit to them.

Dante and Beatrice promptly left without any further goodbyes, because their sense of attachment was really low. Rather, now that Beatrice had achieved this all-important benchmark, it was time for many changes to occur.

The first thing they did when they returned to the Eternal Universe was for Dante and Beatrice to simultaneously descend in both universes, the former with their true body and the latter with a quantum clone from Dante's latest ability.

Both of them immediately entered their relative command center in both universes, the Eternal Universe's being the corporation that Dante formed on Planet Etonia while the Centralis Universe's was his huge space station that hovered outside the Zero Gate.

From there, they checked the effect of the recruitment notice they had issued about 4 months ago.

The good news was that they had recruited a lot of people.

The bad news was that they had really recruited a LOT of people.

More than half of the able-bodied beings in the Eternal Universe who qualified for the recruitment applied, while the Centralis Universe saw a mind-boggling 980% recruitment rate!

This meant that should Dante adopt all these forces, he would have an army of zillions of beings under his command, but more than that, the universes themselves would become barren for a while.

This naturally left him and Beatrice speechless.

"Hmmm, it's about time we introduce both the Concoction of Absorption and the Libido Seed to the masses. Don't you think?" Beatrice suggested with a frown.

"Maybe, but it's going to be up to us to provide an anchor for the entire power system. With so many beings able to use it, the drain on us might be too heavy, or it might not really make a difference," Dante pointed out carefully.

Beatrice greatly hesitated. "We aren't peak Origin Gods, much less Eternals, so the risk is too great. However, we also need the effects of these two power systems if we want to expand faster and complete the objective of capturing all the Lara clones in the multiverse."

The Concoction of Absorption would make the army able to subsist on external energy and grow faster, while the Libido Seed would ensure a steady flow of troops from natural births who got stronger with each generation without leaving the universe barren population-wise from over conscription.

"It does have a great use, I agree. We can dumb the power down and take away many of its features because the prototype versions we used were meant to be as overpowered as possible for our benefit," Dante pointed out after some thought.

Beatrice's eyes lit up. "In fact, we can take it a step further. We can have the two synergize with each other because some part of the libido seed's power was to allow new offspring to grow faster by absorbing external energy. Rather than rely on the seed's power, it can rely on the concoction's power to achieve this."

Dante nodded. "That is one way about it. Let's first announce the change to the various cadets before we move on with anything."

Beatrice was left speechless. "After so long, the first thing we're going to tell these guys is to wait for us to make a powerful universe-level viagra so they can procreate and leave offspring behind to replace them?"

Dante scratched his head with a wry smile. "I mean, when you word anything so directly, it would sound weird, but we have no choice, babe. We need every one of them we can get, but we need them in a way that won't harm our foundation either."

In the end, Dante made the announcement, which had the natural effect of making everyone pause. Not only was the government mandated intercourse, but there were actually rewards for it based on how many offspring they could spit out of a certain quality within the next 6 months.

Of course, they had to wait for the Libido Seed and Concoction of Absorption first, which would have to be modded by Dante to become more 'palatable'. This was easy for him as he now had the entire Origin Law of Technology as his Origin Power, so he did not need any of Kurtaghagt's special code, quantum servers nor did he need Lily's Super AI to help him.

He just accessed the quantum worlds and casually used his origin power to make the changes, just like how one would open a word document and remove some words to make the writing more legible.

It didn't even take a few minutes to make all the changes to both, and this was only the beginning of what Dante could do with his current power. However, there was no need for more because he was not inclined to pay the bills too much.

Soon, the mass-produced power systems were delivered to the various denizens of both universes who qualified to receive them, and they immediately initiated them into themselves.

This caused Dante and Beatrice to have to keep their main bodies in real space, calculating the drain on their Origin Cores with each person who adopted the power systems for themselves.

They were pleasantly surprised to realize that it was not as bad as they had thought it would be. Currently, for supporting zillions of beings across both universes, it came to a total drain of about 5% of their total output per second for Beatrice and 2.5% per second for Dante, who was higher leveled.

Though, it would get worse as the offspring in question came in, but that was for later. As it were, they had to wait six months before they could convert and deploy the troops, so Dante used this time to work on Quantum Entanglement again.

Once again, his breakthrough was made easier by the fact that he had gained an Origin Power as well as stronger Origin Energy. Not only was his energy more abundant and stronger, but he could actively use his Origin Power to do most of the labor he did for himself, allowing him to no longer have to be 'in seclusion' whenever he practiced.

As such, he could also spend his time using his Origin Power to prepare to convert his troops into capable warriors upon descent into the other universes. After all, there was no way Dante could train them all to be typical warriors because that would take an untold amount of time as well as a crazy amount of logistics.

On the other side, Beatrice was not only getting usedto the possession of Origin Energy, but she was also prepping herself and taking the same steps that Dante did in creating his Origin power.

However, unlike Dante who was not sure initially, Beatrice knew exactly what origin power she wanted. She had already constructed a dao bridge during her various cultivation realm breakthroughs and her soul space was already tainted by laws, but only those of the quantum world.

Using her Origin Energy, she easily expelled them all like they were filth and began assimilating actual Origin Laws of the real universe. In this case, she targeted the Origin Law she desired the most, which was the Law of Physical Strength!

That's right, after much soul searching and contemplation, Beatrice had decided that the best path for her was to stay with what she was skilled at, which was hand-to-hand combat. She had previously made do by relying on her enormous stats to beat up anyone who dared stand in her way.

Now that she had burned all her stats and her superpowers to get her Origin Core, she felt insecure and weak compared to before, and this was the only way to alleviate that.

Seeing the brownish-white light of the Origin Law she desired filling her soul space, the woman couldn't help but grin and excitedly think of how the enemies she and her husband possessed would feel when crushed under her tyrannical thumb!
