I am the God of Technology-Chapter 72 Tense Debate

Dante smiled with amusement. "A bit slow on the uptake, huh? I mean, I don't expect much from the white-haired cumrag, but you have to do much better bruv."

Killian's face darkened, and Aisha became even more livid, clenching her fists so hard they became purple. Dante ignored them and turned to the only worthwhile person here worth talking to, Luo Yue.

"Well, yes. I know everything about you Luo Yue, Aisha, and Killian, as well as your organization called The Pantheon. In fact, it would be better to ask what I don't know currently." Dante replied to her question.

The faces of the three changed greatly, and Aisha manifested a look of disdain. "Hmph, stop bluffing you cretin. You probably have some superficial knowledge seeing as you're likely a superhuman too, so this is nothing worth writing home about."

Aisha's sharp words caused Killian and Luo Yue to calm down, as they felt like it made sense. However, Killian was confused due to a certain reason: how could Dante possibly know this given his age and the fact that he was just discovered?

Dante glanced at Aisha with boredom. "I swear, you look and sound much better with your mouth plugged by a penis."

Aisha took a deep breath but did not explode, channeling her inner mafiadonna to maintain her cool which she had lost too many times already.

"Yeah, yeah, keep on with the sexist insults, boy. It's not gonna hurt me, since it's not true."

"Er… not true? Your name is Aisha, right? You escaped from Libya as a refugee in 2024 as a young woman and arrived in the Netherlands. Since prostitution is legal there, you sold your body - well, not your body but your mouth - for survival. There are even videos of it taken at the request of some of your richer clients, which they uploaded to their dropboxes and keepsafes, but you didn't know that."

Dante smiled at the shocked and pale Aisha. "After all, you had them all killed after you climbed… err… sucked your way to power and deleted the local files. You didn't think they'd upload it and some of them didn't even do it intentionally, they just set their phones to backup everything."

"Would you like me to show you one?" Dante asked with narrowed eyes.

Aisha screamed and placed a hand on either side of her head, falling to her knees as her eyes dilated. "No, I don't want to remember! I didn't do it! I never did such a thing! Never!!'

Dante, Luo Yue, and Killian were stunned by her reaction. The other two knew Aisha to be brash, confident, and hot-tempered, but to see her breakdown like this was something they never expected. This dark history of her must have been something she hated the most and formed literal trauma for her.

It was pitiful, but not enough to mitigate her fate in Dante's eyes.

"Well, the annoying one is silent... okay not exactly silent, but is distracted. Now you can tell me why you sent your team to attack me." Dante spoke as he focused on Killian and Luo Yue.

Killian took a step forward. "You are an unregistered superhuman who is a danger to society if not informed about the rules of our existence in the current society. We had to take you in - unharmed - and detain you until we were sure it was safe for you to roam about."

"Ah right, so basically, government lingo for 'if we can't control it, then we won't let it exist', right?" Dante retorted with a sneer on his face.

Killian's eyebrows twitched but he was too deeply entrenched in the system to care. He was a typical follower as he had been a good boy marine who never questioned orders and now he was a good boy operative for The Pantheon who were controlled by the deep state.

As such, his answer was predictable. "You're a loose cannon and we cannot tell your objectives nor your morals. It's simply safer to handle things this way for the entire world."

Dante was speechless and felt like he was going to get a headache. "All you literally have to do is research my identity and know how I lived my life. Your flimsy reason could make sense if I had a criminal history or any overt mental issues."

"But what if I am just someone who wants to live in peace and disturb no one?" Dante inquired as he folded his arms.

This time Luo Yue stepped forward. "Then, we shall release you upon discovering this. The detainment is not done to control, but to protect. If, as you say, you are a peaceful person, then the detainment would mean nothing but a few hours and a short interrogation, along with you signing some legal agreements not to release crucial information nor cause trouble, that's all." 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭

Dante glanced at the woman and sneered. "I would definitely believe you if I didn't know the exact outcome of the detainment process. While out cold, all superhumans are implanted with explosive chips in their brains. As such, the inspection and recruitment process is always unusually 'smooth'."

"So far 99% of all superhumans caught by your guys have been recruited. Only this who were unable to be implanted for various reasons or were impervious to its effects chose to be free."

Dante glanced at the darkened face of Killian and the downcast expression of Luo Yue and smiled playfully. "So tell me again about how 'fair' and 'just' the process is."

There was a palpable silence only interrupted by the occasional muttering of Aisha as she closed her eyes and tried to repress the memories that had come surging out once more.

Killian raised his head and spoke firmly. "Whatever the case, we have our orders. Even if it means we are not doing he right thing, we have no choice to but oblige."

Dante nodded with satisfaction. "Good, just say that from the very beginning then."

Before the trio of superhumans could react, Dante seemingly disappeared from their sight. This caused the faces of Luo Yue and Killian to change greatly as they guarded themselves, but they did not see Dante appear around them. Rather, he appeared above the still delirious Aisha and raised his foot, intending to break her legs.

When his legs came down, the other two could only grimace as they heard a terrible cracking sound, as well as Aisha's scream as she snapped out of her daze and was blasted by the pain. Dante raised his legs to smash the other foot when Aisha quickly reacted by exploding with a bright light, blinding Dante similar to the solar flare attack.

Aisha then transformed into a beam of light and charged toward the other two, falling to the ground behind them and vomiting as her body was wracked with pain.

Meanwhile, Dante walked over as his pupils eerily dilated and expanded rapidly, eventually regaining their light. Blindness for someone with his genetic superiority and SDI was but a pipe dream.

"Not bad." Was all he said to Aisha's desperate last-ditch effort, chilling the hearts of the three.

Luo Yue's body suddenly shone with a purple light and the area seemed to become slightly darker. She pointed at Killian and the purple light entered him, raising his SDI by an entire point!

This made Dante raise his eyebrows as that was some great buff ability, but Luo Yue looked pooped. Clearly, this was probably the full extent of her power imbued into Killian to give them a fighting chance.

But even with his SDI raised by 1 point, his highest index was his Strength and Vitality which were now at 2.2 points. Compared to Dante who had 10.7 in all fields without even activating his Bionics or Psionics… sigh.

Killian felt the power in his body and his almost double strength and roared with confidence. His worried look disappeared as he felt like he had grasped everything at this moment and was probably the strongest being in the entire universe at this moment.

He stepped forward with utter nonchalance and spoke coldly. "I'll give you a chance to surrender and follow us back to base for detainment. You will not be harmed, though you will have to account for the harm you did to Aisha, but what happened to my teammates will be pardoned."

Dante smiled. "Your terms are fair and quite respectable even though you believe you have the upper hand. You're not a bad guy, just that you work for a bad faction."

Killian's face darkened as he understood that this was Donate directly rejecting him and he decided not to waste any more words as he directly swung his fist to attack. To the eyes of a normal person, Killian was like a speeding car and they wouldn't even be able to react until they were hit.

However, Dante simply chuckled and stopped this power-packed fist with two digits, his index finger and his middle finger.
