I am the God of Technology-Chapter 261 6000th Anniversary Event
Chapter 261 6000th Anniversary Event
They were specifically in front of a village on Namek. Dante could identify the slightly green skies, weird lollipop-shaped blue trees, and the water that was clean but had a slightly murky color to it.
Especially the Namekians themselves in the village before him, dressed simply in their linen shawls with different colored vests and harem pants of different colors that left a small gap for their ankles before those strange shoes that looked like musty orange socks they all wore.
Not only them, but many other players were in the area, flying overhead or floating above the ground, going back and forth as they tried to accomplish various things. Some also spoke to the Namekians, either taking missions or trying to purchase things from them.
While Dante absorbed the feeling of one of his favorite anime worlds in the form of a thriving and bustling game, Beatrice poked his arm softly with a lovely smile.
"Well, how is it? You always told me you loved this series, and I also think it's cool."
Dante smiled and hugged her by placing his arm around her shoulders gently. "It's pretty awesome, but also kind of enticing. I did consider taking the Saiyan body and physique, but there are too many dangers in trying."
"Besides, I would immediately become an alien species instead of a pure human, and things will become significantly more difficult even if you and Portia are around." Dante added as he narrowed his eyes.
Beatrice patted his shoulder. "Saiyans are overrated; you can surpass them just fine with your abilities. Come, let's show you the idea we had to make that happen."
"Let me guess, does it involve visiting Grand Elder Guru and having him unlock my potential?" Dante asked as he was pulled along to a spot outside the village where plenty of players were amassing.
"Errr…" Beatrice and Portia paused with surprise, and Dante could tell from their expressions that they hadn't thought about that at all.
"Well, we can certainly try that after this, assuming this method doesn't work out," Portia said with a casual brush of her hair.
Now Dante was truly curious as they came to a floating building above the water where players entered but never came out of. Beatrice carried him up once more as they entered the building, only to see a giant screen listing some details in the back.
Conversely, a large screen appeared before Dante that was from the system, which asked him if he wanted to partake in the special yearly event. Looking at Beatrice and Portia, who were smiling and nodding, Dante rubbed his chin and agreed.
Immediately, the three were teleported away to an instanced zone within the game world like many other players, which was also shared between those who entered that separate instance for the event.
When they appeared, they were floating in the air in a circle around a certain group of islands. Dante looked left and right to see hundreds of thousands of players around him on each side, packed to the brim as they eagerly watched and waited for something.
Dante was about to look when his sight was blocked by another screen, this one more detailed and golden in color.
[Hello player Dante Alighieri! Welcome to the Annual Dragon Summoning Event - Namek Version!
Background: Every year since the conclusion of the main story run on December 25th, 3998, players have been allowed to enter an instance to battle with each other to decide who gets to make one or more of the three available wishes from Porunga!
Details: This event is slightly different, as we are celebrating our 6000th anniversary since the main story completed. So, the event has been slightly modified. First, the major events of the Namek arc will be replayed, with players having opportunities to either help or hinder the main cast. Secondly, when Porunga is summoned by Dende, players will have to establish a safe zone around him for 60 seconds for him to speak out your wishes and grant them.
Enjoy and happy 6000th anniversary!]
Dante read through it in an instant and understood everything. He had to admit, the plan of Beatrice and Portia was truly devious, because he himself had always had it in mind.
Long ago, he even discussed seizing the dragon balls from this world and making a wish to perfect his genes or even raise his power, but there were fellows who played this game day and night and had raised their power levels to obscene levels.
Dante's true body, with all his powers, was not qualified to come and fight with them. Currently, he was about as strong as Goku when he fought Vegeta the first time at best, and with Bionics and Psionics activated, he could reach Goku's level when he first beat Burter and Jeice.
There were folks out there who had already reached Super Saiyan God level power and were climbing through the super saga, not to mention the many sagas that came later. In fact, the reason many came here to wish was that they wanted to unlock special sagas or attain powerful transformations like Ultra Instinct or Ultra Ego.
Dante glanced at Portia and Beatrice, the two Majins who stood side by side with confident smiles, and felt relieved. Even with Beatrice's power, it was possible to fight off some players and claim the dragon balls, but he had no way to bring people in quantum worlds previously.
Now with the galactic nuclear bomb that was Portia, only the topmost players could even barely scratch, not to mention she would come down with her superpowers of gluttony, devour, and especially regeneration.
What was the point when your awesome energy beam was swallowed and refined by her on the spot, turning into energy for her? Besides, the three knew that the topmost players Dante was worried about wouldn't come here.
Porunga was far weaker than Shenron at the end, which was why he was hardly used in the series after that. Most didn't even go to the Shenron one as they were fighting for the super dragon balls or even the black star dragon balls in the universe.
The kind of wishes they had were not possible for a mere Namek saga Porunga to grant. However, this was just perfect for Dante's group as his wish was not something impossible for a Porunga to grant, and they might even be able to achieve more, with Portia and Beatrice holding the fort.
"How long until the wish?" Dante whispered as he asked Beatrice and Portia, distancing themselves from other players.
"Porunga is summoned by Dende after Goku goes Super Saiyan for the first time to revive the Namekians and Vegeta, then send them to Earth. So basically after Goku transforms," Beatrice answered.
Dante nodded and checked the progress of the event. Whether it was intentional or not, Beatrice and Portia had brought him in just as Vegeta was murdered after crying his heart out and Goku began to fight Frieza seriously in Kaioken times twenty.
After that, the train of known events occurred. Dante watched, from a first-person view, feeling the power levels and the rising tension and emotions he could only enjoy on screen in person.
In no time, like those watching, he got immersed. He had bated breath as he watched Goku sneakily charge the Spirit Bomb while Piccolo stepped in to 'stall' Frieza, but really just took about five to ten minutes of beatings that even a father wouldn't do to this unruly son. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The Spirit Bomb was thrown after the drama and my god, to see it live. That giant orb of pure positive energy made those of an evil alignment tremble with horror while those of a good alignment feel enlivened.
Beatrice and Portia were Majins, so despite themselves, they couldn't help but feel fear, while Dante, a pure human, felt his entire body feel good.
Fast forward through the Spirit Bomb's explosion and the team prematurely celebrating their victory. They couldn't see but the players could as Frieza emerged on that hill behind them with a beaten and battered body along with hatred in his eyes.
PEW!
The beam was fired, and Piccolo was killed, negating the Earth Dragon Balls as Kami died. Luckily, this was an instance, so it did not affect the true game world as players should be fighting for the Earth Dragon Balls as well.
However, Portia and Beatrice wisely did not want to push their luck because stronger players fought for those ones.
Next, the fateful scene occurred.
"GOKUUUU!!! HELP ME- ARGHHHH!!"
"NO! KRILLIN!!!"
Everyone tensed as this signaled that the time for the Dragon Balls was approaching. Beatrice herself poked Dante, who still wanted to watch the transformation for himself live in person and feel the power of a Super Saiyan, but he knew he had more important things to do.
He reluctantly left along with other players to the island where Gohan arrived with Dende and the Dragon Balls. Immediately, Dante descended with his real body and placed a quantum marker on the spot before hurriedly sending his real body back.
Then, he, Portia, and Beatrice logged out at the same time when they saw Dende begin the chant to summon Porunga.
Waking up in their real bodies, Dante placed his hands on their shoulders and teleported with them using Quantum Transportation into the quantum world, right on the quantum marker.
When they appeared, they were right beside Dende and Gohan, who were stunned by their appearance. By this time, Porunga had finished undergoing his summoning 'animation' and fully formed, leaning down towards Dende as he asked in the Namekian language what his wish was.
Gohan stood between Dende and the trio protectively, but Dante and co were not willing to tangle with the brat. They had the players to worry about, and the purpose of the 60-second safe zone was to grant the fellow time to make the crucial two wishes for the storyline and leave one for players to fight over.
But if you were cruel and greedy - and especially strong - you could definitely beat Gohan aside and force Dende to give you all three. However, very few here had that kind of power, and they would also have to deal with Goku and Frieza, who were rushing over at this time.
As Dende made his first wish, players charged at Dante, Beatrice, and Portia with bloodshot eyes, greed overflowing from them. They did not care as to how the trio suddenly appeared there, thinking it was some special technique or could even be legendary instantaneous transmission, a very difficult technique to acquire.
"Mom, let me." Beatrice requested as she cricked her neck.
"Oh?" Portia was curious as to why but then saw Dante by the side and understood.
So her daughter simply wanted to flex and show off to her man. Hahaha, how cute! Well, how could Portia possibly say no to that?
"Okay, dear, but if I see you in any danger, I will take over." Portia acquiesced with a condition.
"Naturally, mom. Watch me." Beatrice assented as she activated her Bionics and Psionics at full power, causing her entire aura to change drastically.
Dante felt danger in his heart, the kind of danger that easily surpassed the vulture creature in the First Gate or that void beast that attacked him. With just stats alone, Beatrice could suppress one corner of the First Gate herself!
She showed that power here too as she clapped her hands together in front of her, facing the group of onrushing players. Immediately, a humongous shockwave formed in the atmosphere that seemed to explode the atoms themselves.
Every player in range was either blown back or exploded into a blood mist right away. Those who were closer and weaker were the ones who bid farewell to this world and lost one respawn chance while those who were stronger or farther away were only sent flying like missiles on the loose.
After doing this, Beatrice calmly placed her hands into her pockets and turned to Dante with an exuberant smile, expecting to be praised. She burst into laughter though, when she saw Dante's shocked expression as his jaws almost dropped to the ground.
