I am the God of Technology

As such, they had both decided to settle down and plan ways to counterattack against Dante's onslaught and the 'evil' plot of Etz Chaim, but they did not expect to be released into the world once again.

So, everyone showed expressions of surprise, but it wasn't just this that stunned viewers. You see, Dante was a very generous host, and he really gave Lara's clones anything they wanted in captivity because, in as much as they were enemies, he actually pitied her.

Dante had no real enmity against her like Luka did, so he was far more accommodating in this regard. So, while the Eternal Universe clone could be ignored since she just came, the Centralis Universe clone had been around for a while.

Not only did Dante give her a full mansion in the quantum space, but he also gave her furniture, comforts, and luxuries in there. Although the world was stale since it was technically dead space, Lara had no problem existing in there due to her power.

This was why she came out looking like she was not imprisoned, but rather a guest at an important dignitary's estate. However, once again, this was not what caused the entire spectating universe to almost lose their minds.

It was because at some point, Lara had gotten used to her captivity and decided to request Dante to grant her a special set of clothes and attires that mimicked what her creator, Myra, wore.

Myra was the Goddess of Life, and her nature was gentle and benevolent mostly, but also very lively and playful. This also reflected in her clothes as her typical attire was a lovely sundress that highlighted her white hair and lush skin.

Currently, Lara's Centralis universe clone was wearing this very white and green sundress along with a wide-brimmed lady's hat. Accompanied with the scene of her at a tea table with her pristine legs crossed, the entire universe couldn't help but gawk.

Especially since in typical fashion, she wore a deep frown on her face as her blood-red eyes scanned the area with a disdain for all things. Her beautiful features, slender body, and elegant attire along with her cold and callous outlook made the brains of many onlookers fry.

Dante was left speechless because he knew that to some people right now, it didn't matter what he said about Lara, they would be willing to live and die for her. He couldn't help but facepalm inwardly as the chat soon exploded as many recovered from their daze, proclaiming their love.

[Amberskin: OH. MY. GODDESS!!]

[Twisting Earth: How is this possible? How can a human be so... perfect?]

[Planet Wrangler: I have always found the human physique to be disgusting, but why does this appeal to me so much?]

"What do you want, cretin? Can't you see I'm busy?" Centralis Universe Lara said coldly, glaring at Dante fiercely.

As for the Eternal Universe version, she was barely keeping herself from jumping up and striking Dante, knowing that the end result would just be another beatdown and humiliation.

Dante adjusted himself on his seat and sighed. "Well, I have a problem I need you to solve. The denizens of the universe saw my fight with the other clone of yours and want to know what our beef is."

"Ha? Why do you think I would care about helping you solve your problem, cretin?" The sundress-wearing clone said unhelpfully, taking a sip of her tea.

"You! You think this is a game! When our main body finds out, we will destroy you!" The former headmistress clone couldn't take it anymore and slapped the table while standing up and pointing at Dante with a shaky finger.

Dante waved a hand casually. "Yeah, but that's if your main body finds out. We all know she sees you all as discarded rags that are too filthy to be recollected and washed."

Unexpectedly, neither of the two Laras seemed bothered by this. The sundress-wearing one, who was the calmer of the two, even smirked.

"That's right, to her, we are, and we accept this. Why don't you also accept that you are the dog of that flimsy tree?" She stated viciously.

"Am I? Maybe I am, I do owe everything to her currently. Besides, you shouldn't be insulting Etz; she IS half Myra after all." Dante pointed out in counter with a casual smile.

This finally caused both Laras to falter, as it was clear their obsession with Myra was still strong, and the idea of insulting her made them feel extremely uncomfortable. Dante did not pursue this victory though.

"Meh, forget about it. The entire universe is currently watching a livestream of us chat, probably confused as hell as to what we mean. Would you care to enlighten them?" Dante teased with a smirk.

"Enlighten them? How do you enlighten lower lifeforms? Their intelligence is not up to par." The sundress-wearing Lara was not as experienced with politics as the ex-headmistress and showed her specism right away.

Once again, to Dante's surprise, the ex-headmistress did not backtrack.

"That is correct. The denizens of this universe are smarter than others, but only because I have been the guiding hand." She stated dismissively.

"Oh? You dare say this to your adoring fans? More than half of them are roaring to become your pets and playthings after seeing you wearing Myra's garb, even the aliens." Dante said as he glanced at the sundress-wearing Lara specifically.

"Huh? Oh right, I haven't switched it off yet." The sundress-

wearing Lara muttered as she placed her teacup down.

"I was wondering about that. I usually keep mine off because I'm always exposed to the public sight and it would be troublesome to deal with the aftermath of it." The ex-

headmistress glanced at her counterpart and said speechlessly.

Dante suddenly drew their attention by clapping loudly. "Ladies, let's not speak cryptically here. What exactly is it that you've 'switched off'?"

Surprisingly - again - it was the ex-headmistress who replied as she spoke with a cold grunt. "Hmph, figures that a plebeian like you wouldn't know, having just become half-Origin. We are the perfect beings the first ever created in our reality. Our scale and standard of life are so far higher than yours that it cannot even be measured."

"How does a mere grass snake react to the sight and presence of a dragon? How does a mere chicken react to the sight of a phoenix? It is the act of reverence and adoration that a lesser species of the same general branch would feel when encountering something higher up." Sundress Lara continued boredly.

"And you can just turn this effect off? This… attraction?" Dante asked with incomprehension.

"Why can't we? Part of the reason we are superior to you lower-dimensional lifeforms is because we can control every aspect of our being consciously, unlike you who only have minuscule control over yourselves." The ex-headmistress replied with disdain.

"Uh…huh. Right and why I am not, or why was I not, affected by this charm effect?" Dante further pressed with skepticism.

Sundress Lararolled her eyes at Dante as if he was stupid. "This is why a cretin will always be a cretin. You obviously have the influence of that damned… of that tree, so how can you be affected by something so casual?"

"Makes sense, I guess. Also, you're forgetting to frown and glare at me with hatred, or is that just a front you put up because you're alone and misunderstood?" Dante poked at them verbally with a smile.

Immediately, the two - whose expression had begun to relax and become more natural - locked up and became cold. To think they had let their guard down and had actually… actually been enjoying having a conversation with this bastard!

Despite seeing the effect of his words, Dante was not bothered. Rather, he continued to poke deeper and deeper.

"Lara Sanguis. Actually, the Sanguis is not your name; it's Luka's family name from his foster family. You never called yourself Sanguis till he defeated and locked you up, why is that?"

Dante folded his arms behind his head. "Is it because despite your big words about hating him, you feel a tinge of guilt at your irrational mistreatment towards him and wish to have something of his as your own?"

Both Laras smacked the table with absolutely livid looks, the Heavenly Annihilation Flame manifesting around their bodies like an aura and scorching the area with its heat. Even those who were flabbergasted by the ongoing on the livestream were almost incinerated if not for Dante releasing his Origin Power of Technology to cover them.

"How dare you! That name is nothing special and has nothing to do with that evil bastard!" the ex-headmistress roared with anger.

"The only reason we use it is because Myra uses it in place of her name given by Lord Deus!" The sundress-wearing Lara revealed through gritted teeth.

However, Dante seemed nonplussed. "Ah right, Myra Myra Myra. What's up with your obsession with her anyway?"
