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

After learning the legendary Void Magic, Louise appeared quite proud, eager to immediately tell Her Royal Highness. However, the Red Ponytail quickly stopped her. After all, Louise had just learned it, and the actual use of this Void Magic was still unclear.

The most important thing is...

”Those who read this will become the heir to my actions, ideals, and goals, and also become the inheritor of this power. The inheritor of Void must remember to inherit the will of comrades who died before accomplishing their ambitions, and strive tirelessly to reclaim the Holy Land fallen into heretical hands...”

Upon reading this, Louise’s expression became indescribably strange.

To reclaim the Holy Land from the Fairies, that is precisely the goal of the Albion Noble Faction!

In the end, after all this trouble, she became one of them!

Of course, Louise could choose not to comply, but this was the wish of the great Founder... As a relatively devout mage, she certainly couldn’t just ignore this. The book made it very clear that if Louise wished to learn Void Magic, she must undertake the task of reclaiming the Holy Land from the Fairies.

The nobles of Albion were clearly acting according to the commands of the great Founder.

As a result, Louise actually stood opposed to them...

Now this indeed became interesting.

Now Louise and Red Ponytail finally understood why Waludo needed Louise’s power, evidently he had long known Louise was a Void Sorcerer, and Albion clearly intended to gather all Void Sorcerers, then attack the Holy Land, banish the Fairies, and reclaim the Holy Land...

”What do we do now...”

Louise looked at Red Ponytail with a bitter face, while Red Ponytail shrugged indifferently.

”It’s your choice. If you want to join the Albion Noble Army, I’ll help, or simply find that Princess, let her help you sort it out?”

”How can I possibly tell this to Her Royal Highness!”

Louise was also worried at this point, but to Red Ponytail, there wasn’t anything worth particular concern.

”In any case, since the Founder had such a demand, it clearly isn’t just about simply ruling the world. We can investigate why we should reclaim the Holy Land first and then solve this problem, right? But before that, it’s best to keep this matter secret from that Princess, lest she comes up with some random ideas.”

”You shall not speak of Her Royal Highness like that... but... alright.”

Though Louise was quite unhappy about Red Ponytail talking about Henrietta in such a manner, she finally agreed to Red Ponytail’s request.

”Well then, for now...”

As she said this, Red Ponytail suddenly froze, and seeing her peculiar expression, Louise curiously blinked.

”What’s wrong, SABER?”

”Hmm, it’s nothing.”

Upon hearing Louise’s voice, Red Ponytail came to her senses and shook her head.

”Alright, it’s getting late, let’s sleep.”

”Hmm...”

Although feeling somewhat odd, Louise obediently nodded, then went to bed. Red Ponytail also swiftly got into bed and closed her eyes.

The next moment, her consciousness switched again.

It wasn’t anything else that made her pause just now, but because at that moment, Red Ponytail finally tracked through the satellite, Lina Inverse’s storyline had finally advanced to Sereg!

This means she was about to meet the Golden Nightmare King soon!

Quickly switching consciousness back to the main body, Fang Zheng arrived at Sereg. At that moment, this once beautiful city was already turning to ruins under the erosion of Chaos Power. A mighty, omnipresent force descended from above, ruthlessly crushing everything. The citizens of Sereg also lost their forms in the face of this overwhelming power, vanishing into the air.

However, originally they were Necromancers, so it actually doesn’t matter.

That’s the one.

Stealthily entering the underground cathedral, Fang Zheng quickly saw a constantly expanding black sphere, and a little demon laughing heartily in front of it. Beside the little demon were scattered several crystal pillars, within which Fang Zheng could see the shadows of Lina’s companions.

It seems, sure enough, like the storyline in the animation, Phibrizzo the Deathlord had sealed Takasato and the others, using their lives to threaten Lina to unleash the Heavy Break Slash.

And Lina indeed unleashed it.

Hopefully, things will proceed according to the storyline next.

Fang Zheng could feel that the Chaos Energy in the air was almost reaching its peak, even he could feel that if it continued to spread like this, the whole world would start to completely collapse from this pivotal point. Now it all depended on whether the Golden Nightmare King would appear next.

Seconds ticked by, but the Golden Nightmare King showed no signs of appearing; on the contrary, this world was clearly unable to continue enduring the erosion of Chaotic Power.

No choice, if need be, I’ll take action!

Seeing this, Fang Zheng furrowed his brows; he didn’t want the world to collapse, so he came here to observe, just to be on the safe side. Even though logically the storyline should be the same, who can say for sure

However, just when Fang Zheng was about to take action, suddenly, the black sphere about to expand to its limit abruptly vanished, and a figure shimmering with golden Radiance emerged from it.

”Those who stand before me, pursuing destruction.”

The person standing there was none other than Lina Inverse, but unlike her usual self, at this moment Lina Inverse appeared quite calm.

”With my power, I grant you destruction.”

As she spoke, Lina --- no, the Golden Nightmare King, extended her hand.

”No, no, no, stop!!”

The King of the Underworld clearly sensed something was amiss; he screamed trying to escape, but a BOSS was descending, what room does a minion have to speak?

Upon seeing Mum’s arrival, the mischievous child turned to run, but Mum wasn’t going to give her child any chances, grabbed him and gave him a good beating, thus accompanied by screams, the mighty King of the Underworld, the Demon God who controlled life and death, was utterly destroyed within less than thirty seconds.

Such power...

Gazing at Lina Inverse, Fang Zheng furrowed his brows. He could sense the Golden Nightmare King’s consciousness within Lina Inverse. However, this feeling was quite strange. Though indeed as he expected, he sensed the aura of Order Coordinates from the Golden Nightmare King, but this aura was not complete, and could even be considered quite weak... What’s going on?

Forget it, since the ultimate force is right here, might as well ask directly!

Thinking thus, Fang Zheng stood up and reached out his hand.

In that instant, time ceased to flow.

”Please wait, Golden Nightmare King.”

”........”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s voice, the Golden Nightmare King turned her head towards him.

”Who are you?”

”My name is Fang Zheng, and as for my identity... I think you should be able to sense it.”

Fang Zheng spoke while vigilantly watching the Golden Nightmare King. He didn’t know what was going on. Logically, any coordinate core should feel the power of the Order Seal within Fang Zheng. However, this core had been contaminated by Chaos, and Fang Zheng couldn’t even be sure what the Golden Nightmare King before him was.

”I see.”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng speak, the Golden Nightmare King closed her eyes, then after pondering for a moment, she looked at Fang Zheng again and reached out her hand towards him.

”I am not the one you are looking for.”

”Huh?”

Fang Zheng was completely bewildered by this response.

”What do you mean? But I can clearly feel...”

This time, the Golden Nightmare King did not speak further. Instead, a small Light Orb suddenly appeared in her hand and flew towards Fang Zheng. As he looked at the Light Orb before him, Fang Zheng frowned. He could sense the Divine Power of the Goddess of Order on it, as well as the aura of Chaos, intertwined and indistinguishable from each other.

Clearly, if the Goddess of Order were here, she certainly wouldn’t take such a thing.

However, Fang Zheng... only hesitated for a moment before he reached out and took the Light Orb.

The next moment, a scene appeared in Fang Zheng’s mind.

It was a starry sky, and among the stars, there was a planet. Its exterior, like the Main World, was also enveloped in a metal cage resembling a cross. However, this planet’s ”cage” appeared to be very crude compared to the Main World’s, lacking refinement.

At the same time, a countdown appeared at the corner of Fang Zheng’s vision.

[Time until impact: five, four, three, two, one...]

There was no sound.

Fang Zheng couldn’t even see the body of the impact; he could only see the metal barrier around the planet suddenly begin to glow, forming a massive shield that encompassed the entire world. Simultaneously, some impulse-like Photon Particles appeared on the shield, as if being scoured by some invisible wave.

Soon, piercing alarm sounds rang out, followed by a mechanical electronic voice devoid of emotion.

[Alert, the shelter system has reached critical levels, third, fifth, fifteenth nodes collapsed, warning, shelter system has reached critical levels, Chaos tide about to invade...]

Before the alarm sounded fully, Fang Zheng saw one side of the metal cage begin to shatter completely, immediately followed by the entire planet swelling as if pierced by an invisible rod, then silently bursting out.

[Alert, shelter system collapse, initiating the emergency system. Core infected by Chaos, beginning world decomposition...]

The next moment, Fang Zheng saw tens of giant metal chains suddenly appear within the shattered planet, firmly grasping the remnants shattered by the explosion as if clutching victims desperately holding on against a flood.

But soon, the smaller planet fragments were devoured by the Chaos tide, quickly disappearing. Only the larger fragments survived amidst the tide.

[Repair system initiated... initiation failed, automatic detection... integrity rate 23%. Core detected Chaos invasion signal... activating last defense system, launching coordinate backup core data]

Soon, Fang Zheng saw several radiant objects shooting out of the planet’s Core Zone, directly landing on the remaining five planet fragments.

[Chaos corrosion rate rising, uncontrollable, uncontrollable, uncontrollable]

Then, under Fang Zheng’s watch, the planet’s metal core suddenly exploded, turning into a chaotic nebula-like existence that began to spin slowly. The five continents bound by chains also started to be gently absorbed as if drawn by the rotation of the Sea of Chaos.

[Shutting final system, opening gates]

Then, Fang Zheng saw those chains suddenly exhaust Radiance like rocket thrusters, forcing the five continents to ”fix” themselves in their original position.

[Gate initiated, final seal S^&##&^@*&@!I...]

However, just at the very end, suddenly, this emotionless electronic voice became chaotic, turning into a jumble of noise.

[Corrosion rate at 90%, 95%... I, I... am... what? Who... I... purpose... exist in... Chaos... of... mother...]

In the next moment, all sounds suddenly vanished.

After some time, a voice reappeared.

”Who am I... why am I here... what am I?”

Then, the scene disappeared.

I see.

Upon seeing this, Fang Zheng understood completely.

The power of Chaos, the power of Chaos had eroded the world system. However, this world system possessed intelligence, thus as Chaos power eroded the world system, it merged with the system’s artificial intelligence, creating a concept.

That concept was the self.

In essence, it’s akin to Ryougi Family using Ryougi Shiki to create a persona to bind the Origin. The Origin and Chaos are the same; intangible, invisible, indescribable, and indescribable. However, once given a ”container,” things change.

Ryougi Shiki consequently generated [], while the power of Chaos combined with the AI, forming the Golden Nightmare King.

Chaos eroded the AI, and, conversely, was also polluted by the AI’s self, thus this Chaos now possessed a persona and existence!

”I understand now.”

Fang Zheng glanced at the Golden Nightmare King, no wonder she said she wasn’t the coordinate core; she was merely the personified product of the coordinate core’s intelligence system being polluted.

”So, where is the backup data for those coordinate cores?”

”I don’t know.”

The Golden Nightmare King shook her head.

”Before I became me, that knowledge had already been completely deleted.”

Sometimes I really hate why the Order Clan has to be so thorough...

”However...”

”However?”

”I can sense that you already possess some of the Order Coordinates’ power.”

As she spoke, the Golden Nightmare King pointed to Fang Zheng’s left hand. Seeing this, Fang Zheng was taken aback, then he understood.

That’s right, although he hadn’t obtained anything, his avatar Red Ponytail had received some legendary Familiar Spirits’ Inscription when summoned in Louise’s world, right?

In other words, that thing was one of the backup data of the coordinate point’s core?

”Thanks for the advice, then... I shall take my leave.”

Having understood the true nature of the Golden Nightmare King, Fang Zheng promptly took his leave, politely nodding towards the Golden Nightmare King before stepping away, disappearing into the air.

Meanwhile, time began to flow once more.
