Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1283: Chapter 1282: Daughter of Origin

Sajou Aika.

Looking at the blonde girl in front of him, Fang Zheng felt deeply conflicted. He had come here with the intention of confronting this girl. However, despite the girl appearing innocent and pure, through Ratziel, Fang Zheng knew that this girl was the most terrifying existence in the Type Moon World, bar none.

The reason was simple.

Sajou Aika was the only one who, from birth, was connected to the Origin.

If that’s too difficult to understand, put simply, Sajou Aika is an omnipotent being. She possesses all the abilities, all the Magic, and all the Magecraft of the Type Moon World, everything in existence.

Future Sight, Eye of Direct Death, Space Transfer, including various Magecrafts, even Magics from the Age of Gods, Sajou Aika could utilize at will without any restrictions or limitations. She didn’t even suffer from deficiencies in magic power, as Sajou Aika, connected to the Origin, inherently possessed an enormous and nearly infinite magical power.

Moreover, Sajou Aika could perceive the past and future and freely alter and interfere with everything in parallel worlds and the inner side of the world. In other words, this girl who appeared to be merely twelve or thirteen had completely mastered the Five Great Magics.

At least, she had fully mastered Old Gem Dealer’s Second Magic, ”Multidimensional Interference,” Fang Zheng’s Third Magic ”Heavenly Cup,” and Aoko’s Fifth Magic ”Time Manipulation.”

Hence, it could be said that Sajou Aika was literally an ”omnipotent” being. Compared to her, Ryougi Shiki seemed more like a ”knock-off” attempt at imitating her.

If that were all, it could be said that Sajou Aika’s abilities were simply formidable to a terrifying degree, but Fang Zheng knew that things were not so simple.

Imagine if someone were born knowing everything about this world, with no secrets left, able to do whatever they wished effortlessly, never needing to strive nor face failure—how would such a person perceive this world? How would they view humanity?

This was the truly terrifying aspect of Sajou Aika.

She observed her fellow humans with a divine perspective, using a human form.

To her, humans were not her kin nor held any significance; to her, everything in the world was fundamentally the same.

No difference whatsoever.

This means Sajou Aika lacked human values and morals. This was Fang Zheng’s greatest headache. To be honest, he had no idea how to deal with an omniscient and omnipotent existence. She knew everything, needed no one, and could solve everything on her own. She didn’t even need to make efforts in forging friendships—the Origin bestowed upon Sajou Aika not just abilities but charisma, akin to Fang Zheng’s ”Divinity.” With the right approach, even Heroic Spirits would bow down to Sajou Aika, offering themselves wholeheartedly, negating the necessity for her to converse with anyone.

However, this ”charisma” had no effect on Fang Zheng.

No matter how omnipotent Sajou Aika was, she was only connected to this world’s Origin, and Fang Zheng didn’t belong to this world, making it difficult for this world’s Origin to affect him. Not to mention, Sajou Aika wasn’t even Fang Zheng’s match yet.

In fact, in the future Fang Zheng envisioned, it was Sajou Aika who acted, bringing the World Tree of a Thousand Realms to the brink of collapse, only to be slapped away by himself.

For the beings of this world, Sajou Aika was virtually invincible, but to someone from another world, Sajou Aika... was merely a powerful little girl.

Fang Zheng approached Sajou Aika now, hoping to avoid that confrontation in the future. Knowing Sajou Aika had the support of the Origin meant she was basically ”invincible” in this world. At least in the future Fang Zheng saw, several of his Magical Girls were captured in an instant by Sajou Aika, leading to fratricidal struggles and intense battles among themselves. Some Magical Girls were even instantly killed by Sajou Aika, wasting their lives in vain.

The most disconcerting part was that their deaths at Sajou Aika’s hands weren’t motivated by any personal grievance; it was simply because, for Sajou Aika, killing a person didn’t mean anything.

One could say Sajou Aika had reached the philosophical state of ”Heaven and Earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs; the Saint is unkind, treating common people as straw dogs.”

Or rather, she had attained such a state from the moment she was born.

From a certain perspective, Sajou Aika should never have been born, but... she was.

Confronting the greatest jest, or perhaps the greatest malice of this world, Fang Zheng could only try his best.

”Sister, what are you doing? We don’t know him, do we?”

At that moment, Sajou Aika’s younger sister came running over, panting. She looked at her sister in surprise, then glanced at Fang Zheng.

”I’m sorry, big brother, my sister doesn’t... doesn’t really interact with people outside...”

Sajou Aika’s sister didn’t know what to say, especially since her sister hardly ever left the house. Seeing her come out to find her today was surprising enough, but even more shocking was that her sister had recognized someone as her father!

That’s just outrageous!

The poor little girl, not even ten years old, didn’t know what to make of the situation.

”I understand, but why is she calling me father?”

Fang Zheng was quite bothered by this. Being called brother would’ve been fine, but he didn’t feel old enough to have a teenage daughter.

”Because father is father.”

However, Sajou Aika answered nonchalantly, smiling as she responded, even walking closer and taking Fang Zheng’s arm affectionately.

”I can sense it. Father has the same aura inside him as I do, so of course, father is my father...”

Her words left her sister bewildered, while Fang Zheng somewhat understood her meaning. The Primordial Fire burning within him was akin to the Origin. He hadn’t expected his carefully guarded secret, kept hidden across so many worlds, to be so easily discerned by Sajou Aika before him... truly, what a terrifying child!

As for whether she should be left alone... that would depend on how things unfolded.

”Alright, I understand what you mean,”

Fang Zheng patted Sajou Aika’s head, thought for a moment, then stood up.

”In that case, I’ll be your father for once... how about we go out somewhere?”

”Eh? Eh??”

Hearing this, Sajou Aika’s sister instinctively took a few steps back, eyeing Fang Zheng warily. No wonder she reacted this way, considering Fang Zheng’s words sounded rather dubious, yet Sajou Aika didn’t mind at all, happily clinging to Fang Zheng.

”Of course, where do you want to take me, father?”

”To a faraway place... simply put, another world, would you like to go?”

”Of course! I want to go!”

”Sister!?”

Upon hearing her sister’s response, the younger sister became even more concerned. Fang Zheng’s previous words hadn’t sounded exactly reassuring!

However, Sajou Aika didn’t even glance at her sister, simply smiling and turning to leave the park with Fang Zheng. Witnessing this scene, the younger sister stood frozen, observing her sister’s retreating figure. After hesitating for a moment, she stomped her foot and hurriedly followed.

Though she believed that her sister, with her capabilities, wouldn’t encounter any danger.

But... what exactly was going on?!
