However, this did not mean that Dante could act as he pleased here. He had simply gained an advantage that he could use, and how to use it smartly was the key here.
For one, the Divine difficulty level was out of the question completely. To do that required higher dimensional power, and the issue had already been illustrated when he fought Lara's Centralis Universe clone.
Higher dimensional powers could only harm higher dimensional power/beings.
As such, Dante's eyes fell on the Grandmaster difficulty level. This one was arguably the best for him since he could freely use Quantum Entanglement and its abilities, but his doppleganger could not, only able to use Quantum Core and Nanite Resonance.
Choosing lower difficulties was unnecessary, especially since choosing Grandmaster and Master would have the literal same effect, but the payout was vastly different.
