Chapter 260 Anime World
When Dante appeared in the living room, he found Portia and Beatrice standing together while they chatted about something in a lively manner. When they saw him appear, Portia smiled while Beatrice's eyes lit up with joy.
Dante smiled and walked forward briskly to hug his beautiful and perfect Beatrice tightly, basking in her warmth. Ever since she had gotten confirmation of her pregnancy, she stopped wearing her skin-tight polymer uniform and began dressing more like Portia, in a very casual and conservative manner.
While this meant that her extremely voluptuous body was no longer outlined for the eye to feast on, it also added a homely and stable charm to her that soothed his soul. Currently, she wore a black turtleneck sweater under a dark blue jacket, knee-length bloated skirt over a full lower body black stocking that was fully opaque and revealed not even an inch of skin, as well as a pair of black shoes.
You could barely make out the fact that she was sexy thanks to her breasts pushing against the sweater, but even that was subdued. As such, it forced you to concentrate on her face more than her body, but that alone was enough to make you kneel and sing praises to the lord for blessing your eyes.
She tied her shoulder-length purple hair into a ponytail, revealing more of her slender neck as well as making her look even younger than she already was. If Dante had first met Beatrice-like this in that alley, he would have completely dropped his guard and spilled the beans to her.
Portia was dressed in a similar manner, but hers was a bit more baggy and more colorful. The two sisters… cough, mother and daughter made Dante feel like he had come home after a long campaign at war.
"What's up, guys?" Dante asked with Beatrice still nuzzling in his embrace.
Seeing her daughter being so lovey-dovey and cute, Portia's eyes softened greatly, and she couldn't help but smile brighter at Dante who brought her little baby so much happiness.
"Bea told me about your new ability, and I remembered that your main problem was dealing with your genetic limit, right?" Portia asked.
Dante nodded seriously. This was why he practiced both external methods, even though they did not add much to his power. Every time he broke through, he could raise his genes to a new limit.
However, this was a problem due to two factors. Firstly, Dante needed to break through the genetic limit using forceful methods and secondly, even after he broke through, his body could only grow by a certain amount before 'locking' itself and being unable to take a single step forward.
Well, in truth, it was not a problem per se since everyone had this limitation. Otherwise, there would be no need for gene serum if others could simply raise their stats limitlessly with no barrier or bottleneck.
Only those with powers like Absorption or Portia and Beatrice's Devour could achieve such a thing, while the rest had to walk the beaten path. However, from what Portia was saying, she had an idea to help him achieve something beyond this?
Portia scanned Dante up and down. "To be honest, I'm not entirely sure this will work, but Beatrice says you have a special constitution that allows things in quantum, worlds that function with quantum rules can work on you."
Dante nodded once again. The best example were his Eyes of Illusion, which were directly implanted into his body unlike the other ones which were generated through effort.
However, while some things worked, others did not. Not to mention that even for the things that worked, Dante was taking a risk by trying them out.
Adding a power system to his body was like undergoing a surgery. The doctor was the quantum world he was in, and its quality as well as stability were the doctor's 'qualifications'.
Dante liked power, but he was not willing to put himself under the knife of a 'quack' doctor just to pursue cheap power, which was why he avoided anime worlds and other fanciful powers, only sticking to the school's worlds since they were the highest quality and the most stable.
He had taken a big risk with the eyes back then and had hesitated every step of the way, but luckily it all worked out in the end. Otherwise, the best-case scenario would have been some slight pain and rejection and the worst-case scenario would be that he would have become completely blind.
So what did Portia have in mind knowing all this?
"There's an interesting yearly event ongoing in the anime world. That world is relatively stable given your standards but not enough so. However, we aren't going in to gain anything from the power system, but to use a special method to fix your genes which should not harm you." Portia explained while placing her arms into her pockets.
"Sure, let's do it." Dante replied without hesitation.
Seeing his unwavering trust, Portia was touched. She liked this amazing son-in-law even more and decided to make sure that she could support him to achieve success for their families.
"Alright, we need to sign you up for an account in the anime world and take you to the place. You can leave your quantum marker on the spot and then bring the three of us with our real bodies." Portia explained with a smile.
"Isn't that dangerous?" Dante now hesitated because even if he knew that they would be immune to quantum poisoning within 10 meters of his quantum marker, what if something knocked them out of that range?
"It is, but the risk is worth it. Bea and I both feel you are definitely worth it, and the possible reward is too good to pass up. We need to come with you because we are your greatest insurance in securing this method and making it real." Portia elaborated calmly.
Beatrice raised her head from his chest and glared at Dante slightly. "Why are you asking mom so many questions Dante, just obey~!"
Dante couldn't help but look down and kiss her small nose because of how cute she looked frowning with furrowed eyebrows and gleaming eyes. Portia rolled her eyes at the two who were not shy to openly display their affection.
The three went to sit down on the couches and leaned into the seats, logging into the Etraverse using their quantum AI chips. Dante checked the details of the anime world for the first time.

Didn't say much, but Dante did not mind. This particular world had been live for so many centuries that so many had been born, grew up playing this game, got old, and passed away. It was ancient as hell, and many things had occurred, even a few server resets due to troubles caused.
He descended and was prompted to choose his race and starting location. Dante plainly chose to be a human and chose to start from Capsule Corp, which was where Portia and Beatrice told him to drop in.
When he spawned, he found that he was at the entrance of Capsule Corp, along with many other players who were either walking up and down or taking tasks from Bulma and Trunks who stood at the gate.
One could see Vegeta training furiously in the front yard, a few qualified Saiyan players being his punching bags.
Dante looked up and saw the floating cars and the tall buildings that littered West City. Looking around, both humans and various alien races walked up and down in harmony, probably the only place where humans and aliens could coexist due to the world's background.
He immediately received a friend request from Beatrice and Portia, then accepted them both. They then invited him to a party and began to explain what to do next.
Dante listened and left the crowd, coming outside of West City to the grasslands where he saw Beatrice and Portia flying down to meet him. Interestingly… or naturally? … they both chose the Majin Race but retained their true features.
They were basically very similar to Majin 21 with pink skin, red pupils and a black cornea, as well as baggy white harem pants into high heels. A long pink tail and their upper torso mostly bare around the midriff but their chests covered by a black top.
Compared to them, Dante who had chosen a plain human with his natural features seemed out of place. The reason Dante didn't bother was that unlike Beatrice or Portia who genuinely played this game for fun, Dante would probably never truly 'play' any quantum world.
Due to his power, they were all sources of power or resources for him, so there was no time to idly role-play like he was truly there when he could quite literally enter it.
Looking at him, Beatrice and Portia seemed to share an almost helpless look.
"Told you, Mom, he won't choose a Saiyan despite liking the series." Beatrice stated with exasperation.
Portia sighed. "I kind of understand his reason why, but it's nevertheless quite sad."
Dante was speechless. It wasn't a big deal since anyone could create multiple accounts for this particular world, and he was here on business with them, yet they made it sound like he was a troubled child who was a misfit.
"Still, I'm surprised I can still access my old account. I thought I would have been deleted after so many years of disuse." Portia marveled as she glanced at herself.
She then looked at Beatrice and was amused. "Bea, you and I truly share the same tastes. I chose the Majin race back then because their abilities are similar to my superpowers."
Beatrice smiled. "Same, I thought it would be close to how I am in reality if I used this race. Knowing that you chose them same makes me feel happy."
"Anyway, Dante, you should follow us. As a human player, you can't automatically fly until you take Ki training lessons from Master Roshi so I'll carry you." Beatrice said.
And so, Dante was carried on her back as they flew in the air. Being powerless as a normal human, the experience was actually quite scary if one got too immersed into it, which Dante did not since he felt like he could descend with his real body anytime.
He didn't because he couldn't be bothered and he was slightly scared. The power level in this anime world was so high that a random sneeze from someone like Vegeta might cause him and his past lives to die.
This was one of the reasons the world was unstable because it had been strongly modified and made expansive in order to accommodate so many power systems.
Soon, they reached a very busy area, which had a giant portal in the center that did not seem to resemble the style of Dragon Ball. Seeing Dante's puzzled look, Beatrice smiled and explained.
"In order to achieve what we set out for, we have to go to another section of the game. Every major area had a trans-portal that allows you to travel in between the game world, and the ones that let you go to other game areas are only accessible during special events."
Dante nodded and followed the trio into the portal feeling almost nothing as he was transported from the outskirts of West City to… hmm?
Wasn't this Namek?
