Chapter 297 Sudden Conflict

297 Sudden Conflict nOvelb1n

While Dante was pondering what to do, his face changed as he received a report from his AIs that handled the war front. It seemed that he had been stopped by a strange being that had annihilated an entire fleet by itself and was rapidly piercing through his forces, making a beeline for his control center.

Dante recollected his quantum clone and teleported to his Stellar Vanguard 11 flagship that hovered outside the Zero Gate area. It seemed that the strange yet powerful being was rushing towards her, and its speed was truly cataclysmic as it caused space cracks wherever it passed.

Dante stood on the edge of the ship's exterior, glancing into space as he felt the existence approaching through his spirit sense. When he sensed their presence, his eyes narrowed greatly because it was exactly who he expected it to be.

In a flash of blazing light that seemed like a miniature sun had been careening through the universe, the entire area was swept by heat and shockwaves of the like that could shatter entire planets.

Dante waved a hand and isolated all his ships and property in another space so that they would be unaffected by the damage. He then glared at the center of what was previously the burning sun which retracted itself, revealing a familiar figure.

"Lara Sanguis."

That's right, it was Lara. Still dressed in her black and red tight-fitting military attire with her cape billowing behind her, she looked domineering and majestic. Especially that lush white hair paired with those glowing red eyes, she made anyone she looked at feel inferior.

Lara glanced at the area and saw that nothing was damaged. She flicked a finger and Dante's spatial spell was cracked easily, sending all his items back into the material plane.

Despite this show of power, Dante was unfazed. He might have been bothered if he didn't know, but Levi had revealed most of Lara's secrets long ago.

He knew that she possessed higher-dimensional authority over all elements, so his meager space spell, even if it had been at the 9th rank, could not hold up against the authority of space, even when it was diluted to 0.01% in all of Lara's clones.

Seeing the unsurprised Dante, Lara frowned slightly. "Lesser being, how dare you try to claim sovereignty over this universe's Zero Gate without my permission?"

Lara's eyes held infinite disdain for Dante. As Levi also revealed the clones were not mentally linked, so this Lara clone which originated from the Centralis Universe did not know about Dante.

To her, he was just another lower-dimensional being.

Dante stopped just as he was about to break Lara's arm off her body to rescue Levi, his face changing as Lara already infused specks of white fire into Levi's body, ready to remotely detonate at any time.

He then stepped back and glared at Lara coldly. "Let go of him and I promise to leave your dignity intact."

Lara looked at Dante as if he was stupid. "You? What makes you think you have any right to negotiate or speak your mind here?"

Dante looked Lara up and down slowly. "You may just be a clone, but you still have the consciousness of your main body, as well as its arrogance. I can suppress you easily in every way possible."

"If you kill him, fine. I will spend the rest of my time, taking you and every clone I can find of you in every universe through the most vile and filthy 'lesser species' for them to soil your body, spirit, and soul. So fine, do it." Dante stated with conviction, looking at Lara with his body tensed.

Lara's face changed to one of disgust, as the fate Dante mentioned was one she would not evendream of occurring in her worst nightmare. Despite that, she smirked at Dante like he was a fool.

"Is that so? Then..."

She squeezed her hand and broke Levi's neck before igniting him in flame, turning him into ash within seconds. Suddenly, Lara's own body ignited in flame, burning into nothingness rapidly as she left one final message.

"...what if I choose not to?"

Dante roared as she appeared before Lara the moment she lit herself in flames and even pressed his hand into the fire to grab her, but her body was rapidly combusting. In fact, if he didn't cover his own arm with his hellfire true qi, he would have combusted along with her.

Feeling the grasp of nothing in his palms, Dante fell to his knees and roared to the heavens.

"NOOOOOO!!"

Lara woke up while shaking her head, feeling slightly dizzy. She noticed that her body was constrained with some strange chains that locked her up in a very humiliating way. Her usual military attire had been stripped off, leaving her in her underwear which was surprisingly made of woven leaves like she was some sort of Eve from the bible.

Shocked, she gazed forward and saw Dante seated in the air with his legs crossed while arguing with the bird beast she literally just turned into nothingness. The two noticed her presence and stopped their argument to focus on her with different expressions.

Dante glanced at her coldly, with a hint of amusement while Levi was full of anger and hatred. Lara could not fathom what she was seeing, because what happened was that this clone should have returned to the main body through the fire authority.

"Confused? It's normal for you to be. Let me enlighten you piece by piece." Dante stated as he leaned forward calmly, smiling playfully the entire time.
