Dimensional Codex System I m really not a cultist

Chapter 69: Chapter 68: The Summon Falling from the Sky
 

“Miss Fina, please wait here for a moment.”

After making his decision, Fang Zheng immediately stood up and looked at the Cleric Maiden beside him.

“Huh? Of course, no problem… But Mr. Fang Zheng, what are you going to do?”

“I want to try to break through these barriers.”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s reply, Fina was instantly shocked. Throughout their journey, she had already discovered that the young man beside her knew nothing about spells. Now, why did he suddenly think about breaking through barriers?

“It’s like this.”

Taking into account the action he was about to take, Fang Zheng pondered for a moment and then organized his thoughts before speaking again.

“I have a special ability that allows me to communicate and summon beings from Another World. Since I now have such power, maybe I can summon an existence that can solve these problems.”

Of course, Fang Zheng didn’t speak with absolute certainty. Although, theoretically, summoning an Angel seemed much more reassuring than summoning a Demon, considering his past three absurd summoning results, Fang Zheng had to be extremely cautious. It was fine when he summoned Little Brother Ma, but if the Soul Summoning Stone summoned Izuor, that would indeed be problematic beyond explanation.

Therefore, to be safe, Fang Zheng planned to stealthily summon by himself first to see who the other party was. If the being was presentable, he would bring it out; if not, he would dismiss it.

And upon hearing Fang Zheng’s explanation, Fina showed a surprised expression.

“Mr. Fang Zheng, are you actually a Summoner?”

“I just have that ability, and success isn’t guaranteed.”

Fang Zheng certainly wouldn’t admit he was a Summoner… although he indeed seemed to be one.

“But please be careful. After all, summoning creatures from Another World is a very dangerous matter. If you summon some dangerous being…”

“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

Fang Zheng knew what Fina wanted to say, but he wasn’t very worried. Although he wasn’t sure what he could summon, at least he designed the system himself. He had considered everything that should be considered while designing his system, although it was not yet perfect, he had thought of the important aspects. The only thing missing was the details… and now that the Dimensional Codex had automatically filled in these details, he had no other choice but to use it.

After persuading Fina, Fang Zheng turned around and walked behind a large boulder. Then he reached out his hand, and soon the Dimensional Codex appeared in his hands again, opening automatically. The heavy pages slowly turned and then came to a stop.

“Is it here?”

Looking at the hexagonal copper frame on the page in front of him, Fang Zheng nodded. Summoning and binding required embedding the Soul Summoning Stone in this way, and the initial binding space was only one. To open others, players had to top-up. According to the settings, players could simultaneously summon up to ten souls. Of course… the top-up amount required wouldn’t be small.

However, for Fang Zheng, this was enough for now.

At this thought, he raised his right hand and made a grabbing motion towards the empty air, quickly revealing the Silver Grade Soul Summoning Stone between his fingers. Then he took the Soulstone and squinted, examining it closely.

But he found nothing, and in Fang Zheng’s eyes, the Soulstone carried no information.

This was, of course, expected, because when Fang Zheng set up the system, the Soul Summoning Stone had to be embedded for summoning before its true nature would be revealed. Not only that, but initially, players knew very little about these summoned souls. They could only understand each other by fighting side by side, raising affection, and gradually making more in-depth connections. As affection increased, players would gradually discover and master the powerful forces hidden within these souls.

The one thing that provided Fang Zheng with a bit of relief was that, if he remembered correctly, he had once requested the development team to set ninety percent of the summonable souls as cute girls.

Hmm? You ask why?

Is that even a question? With no digital girlfriend, who’s going to spend on the game?

Now, he just hoped that things here would be the same as his settings—a cute girl would be great… of course, it would be even better if she could be brought out!

With those thoughts in mind, Fang Zheng silently prayed while placing the Soul Summoning Stone into the recess on the pages.

“Click.”

With a light click, the Dimensional Codex, now embedded with the Soulstone, closed once again and began to spin rapidly. Then, Fang Zheng saw a dazzling Light Orb streak across the sky like a shooting star, before descending from the heavens and landing on the Codex.

“Boom!!”

Accompanied by a low rumble, violent air currents suddenly erupted from the center of the Light Orb, so fierce that even Fang Zheng had to turn away and shield his face with his hand to block the flying sand and stones.

After a moment, when the violent air currents calmed down, Fang Zheng turned to look ahead, then his eyes widened in astonishment.

What appeared before Fang Zheng was a girl who seemed to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. She had azure long hair tied into two ponytails hanging at her sides, porcelain-like fair skin, a cute face, azure eyes, and delicate features that made her look as adorable as a doll.

She wore an outfit resembling a super short dress with a white base and black trim, and her lower half was adorned with white boots and black thigh-high stockings, all under the cover of a white cloak. However, what intrigued Fang Zheng the most were her ears and the enormous pitch-black collar around her neck. Her ears were not of the human shape Fang Zheng had imagined. They protruded from her hair as two white, elongated objects, resembling some kind of high-tech gear. The girl’s collar was even more startling. It was so large that it looked like it could bury her chin, and although it appeared to be a typical metal collar on the surface, when combined with a few segments of chains, it gave off an odd feeling.

Furthermore, behind the girl was a pair of wings shimmering with colorful radiance, transparent and beautiful, gently fluttering.

With a quiet gaze, the girl looked at Fang Zheng and then spoke.

“Electronic Warfare Omnipotent Angel, TYPE β, Nymph reporting for duty. Please issue your command, Master.”

“Uh………”

Facing the petite and adorable girl before him, Fang Zheng was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say. Although he was mentally prepared that he might not summon a normal angel, the girl that appeared still left Fang Zheng at a loss for words.

Electronic Warfare Omnipotent Angel?

What in the world is that?

And that TYPE β, why does it sound like a robot’s code? Wait, her ears also look mechanical, right? Don’t tell me I have summoned an Artificial Angel? Is that even possible?… Well, Artificial Angel or not, an angel is an angel, no problem!

With the precedent set by Little Brother Ma, Fang Zheng quickly regained his composure. He cursed his own system inwardly for not doing the right thing and then turned to the girl with a slight smile.

“Hello, Nymph, my name is Fang Zheng. I hope you can fight alongside me………..”

“No, that is my duty, Master.”

But before Fang Zheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an anxious and fearful Nymph.

“Whatever you need, I’m willing to do anything!”

“Uh………”

As Fang Zheng faced Nymph, he was completely at a loss for what to say. Although she claimed to be an Electronic Warfare Omnipotent Angel, she was still an angel, and even called Omnipotent Angel, why did she seem so subservient? With that in mind, Fang Zheng then asked another question that piqued his curiosity.

“By the way, what’s the deal with the collar around your neck?”

“Ah, this?”

For some reason, mentioning the collar seemed to bring a smile to Nymph’s face.

“This is the sign of my subjugation to my master, please look, Master……”

As she spoke, Nymph took hold of the chain hanging from the collar, which seemed to be broken off, and to Fang Zheng’s astonishment it began to materialize from thin air. It continued to extend, wrapping itself around his hand?!

“The chain allows the Master to issue commands to me at any time and monitor my movements. That is the purpose of the collar.”

Wait a minute, this doesn’t seem quite right!

Looking at the girl excitedly explaining the function of the collar, Fang Zheng was dumbstruck. Even if this girl wasn’t human, she was an angel, yet why did it feel like he was treating her like a pet, complete with a collar and a leash? What kind of bizarre situation was this? Treating a person like a pet? And this “pet” seemed very proud of it?

Wait, something must be wrong here.

Is it me or the world that’s off?

“Excuse me for a moment, Nymph……”

Fang Zheng shook his head, helplessly extended his hand to halt the girl’s speech, and then pointed at the collar around her neck.

“Could you remove that… I feel like it’s not quite right……”

“Remove the collar?!!”

Before Fang Zheng could finish his sentence, Nymph’s face suddenly turned pale, and then she actually kneeled on the ground, looking terrified at Fang Zheng. To her, it seemed as if Fang Zheng had spoken an unspeakable atrocity.

“Master, Master! Please don’t do this! Please don’t abandon me! I will do anything, just not that……!”

“Uh………”

Looking at the tearful girl staring at him, Fang Zheng felt utterly overwhelmed.

What on earth is going on here?
