Codex Null: Simulation Through Madness-Chapter 104: Trash (Unedited)

Mostly to big dimensions, that were difficult to anchor onto items, some for the other territories where they have connection with the organizations there, and some others, simply for the sake of convenience leading to different places. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

And so, one of them should be leading to China... was what Noel deduced.

He didn’t bother by confirming that though, and instead, he turned his head to the side where Clarissa was standing and said, "You are really wealthy, mother in law!"

His tone seemed to be genuinely praising, and his eyes seemed to be amazed by this sight.

But, Clarissa was not deceived by that.

Was he saying due to the meager amount of the Soul Crystals she gave him yesterday? Or was he saying it now, because he will receive another compensation from her later, in the soul Crystal, and so, she shouldn’t be stingy like before?

Noel’s tone, didn’t make the answer clear, but either way, Clarissa still understood that she need to give him a proper compensation this time.

.......

After Noel’s "innocent" comment, the group of four, finally moved on, and entered another gate from the many in this hall.

And this time, they finally arriving at China.

Everyone eyes turned to him, as he was the only one who knew the location of the dimension they were going to accurately.

But, checking his location, Noel found out, that they were still some distance away from their destination.

And so, he extended his hand, and held Clarissa’s soft one, as he said, "It’s still a little far from here... not the extent that we need to go and take the help of some witch to open a gate there, but, still, not a short distance that we could arrive there quickly with me current strength and speed."

After Noel, explained, clearly expression his intention to her, so, she can move, while bringing him with her, he told her the specific location.

Clarissa stayed silent for a moment, letting a tense atmosphere settle onto them, before she used her strength, broke the space, and took a step forward.

She brought along Noel, who was holding her hand, while Hilda and Nadine, simply followed the path Clarissa opened.

Like that, in mere moments, they arrived at their destination... where the dimension was.

There, unlike some of his expectations, the area of influence of the dimension was not big.

No, rather the overlapped space was actually small, merely ten kilometers wide.

And surrounding it, were not many people, but, they were all clearly from the same organization, or in this case, the same clan.

But, small in numbers or not, with his flashy entrance everyone still noticed him, and his group.

No one moved toward them though, and everyone stood in his place frozen, while murmuring the word Lord.

It was a title all those who had achieved the Sixth stage or above, the Domain Lord, would be called.

And so, in this case it was directed at Clarissa.

But, how did they found that out?

It was from their entrance.

Because, while moving through the space even for those in the fifth stage is actually possible, as at the end of the day, this move is more about the strength, not a space related Law... it’s still difficult, and not smooth to the extent, that Clarissa did it seamlessly.

All of that though, was not on Noel’s mind, instead with his gaze still glued to the dimension in front of him, he quietly assessed the situation.

The first point that came to his attention was naturally their being only people from the Li clan around the dimension... and how that shouldn’t have been the case.

He thought that even if still early on and and the Li clan were dominating the scene here, there still should have other people... other organizations.

But, there’s no one, and that’s not how things should have been.

A dimension that has an apex relic inside, when it appeared... when it descended into Earth, the ripple effect it made into the space should have been strong enough, that many organizations would pick on it.

There’s something called existential weight for every dimension according to what he know, and that is first tied to the Law, then to the size of the dimension.

And so, a dimension that has an apex relic, and supposedly something even more special, should have sent a far more stronger overlapping signal all around.

Yes, just like the Trial dimension, he got the parasitic Imperial relic from.

At that time, the overlapping space signal was strong that, three of the four major factions got alarmed and ended up lured, after all.

’But, maybe it’s one of those special cases?’

Noel thought, nearly arriving at a conclusion.

For every role, there’s exception after all, and so, maybe this dimension, is one of those, where its worth was not displayed by the overlapping space itself.

Previously, Noel’s thoughts were more on why the Li clan tried to hide things away, what was the special something inside that let them do that, so, he didn’t think that much about the dimension itself.

But, maybe it has something not linked to the Laws?

Noel quietly pondered as another details suddenly came into his view.

The size of the overlapped space, it’s manifested area, is actually quite small.

And according to his information, the dimension itself should by no means be small, rather, it’s actually big.

So, why? Does it have something to do with the Apex relic? The special something inside? Or something else entirely?

Noel pondered, as the mysteries of the dimension seemed to be increasing in every second.

His eyes twinkled at the many possibilities that was there for him to explore, when suddenly the commotion and panic of the people from the Li clan seemed to subside slightly, and two people, a man and a woman clearly resembling each other walked to them.

"N-Noel!" the woman said, in surprised tone, as her eyes landed on him.

And Noel, finally turned his attention from the dimension to it’s current occupants.

He sized up the two that came toward them, and feeling how the woman was only on the third rank, Law Bearer, while the man, at the fourth rank, Law Adept, he quickly came to the conclusion that, they should be some direct members of the Li house.

Otherwise, there should be stronger ones currently among all the Li members here.

"I’m taking this dimension for myself," Noel, suddenly said.

His eyes moving between the man and woman, before settle on the man, as he continued, his voice quite bland, lacking any emotion or care for them.

"So, stop everything you are doing and leave immediately."

"If you plan to struggle though, then bring everything you got quickly, so, we can finish things quickly."

"I don’t have long time to spend on the like of you."

His tone like someone superior talking to someone beneath him, his arrogant posture, of also ordering them around... didn’t come nicely to the siblings.

The woman, Li Qian’s cheeks flushed in anger at Noel’s attitude, while her older brother, Li Jian clenched his hands, more restrained in his anger.

Both of them, had their eyes on Noel, the three beauties around him, with even one Lord among them, the head of Everen house herself, not provocative, not attention gripping as Noel himself.

But, maybe that’s only natural?

After all, to the younger generation of the noble houses and the strong organizations, more than the scary head of the Everen house, a Domain Lord, Noel, the the monstrous prodigy... no the fallen prodigy was more famous.

"No more than a trash now, what the fuck make you think, you can take this dimension from us?" Li Qian finally said, glaring at Noel.

And while, Li Jian at the side, didn’t add or say anything, his gaze still moved on from Noel, as he remember that a lord had appeared.

His gaze settled on Clarissa, the one with the heaviest presence, and while he didn’t remember ever seeing her before, he still seemed to remember the features of someone he once heard about before.

Fighting for a dimension that has already been moved and anchored somewhere else, is an act, that would be straight out make a war.

But, trying to wrestle the ownership of a dimension like the one in front of him?

Then, that’s fine.

Fights could happen naturally, but not to the extent of an all out war.

The events of the Inheritance Dimension in Italy, that happened in the simulation?

That’s a rare case, as the Ravelli house, was just being stubborn.

Generally in the world, the area of influence, which will be mostly around the main territory for the said organization.

But, at the end of the day, that doesn’t mean one can’t fight for other dimension outside of their areas on influence.

After all, the Earth is so small.

Well, no to mentions most fights would happen between organizations with similar strength, when the difference is too huge, they would give up on their own.
