Dimensional Codex System I m really not a cultist

Chapter 499: Chapter 498: Chasing the Giant’s Trail Chapter 499: Chapter 498: Chasing the Giant’s Trail Although they had already received the intelligence, Fang Zheng and Wells did not change their target because of this. They continued to move forward methodically, while using the Crystal Tower to expand the territory of Order. On one hand, blindly striking out in ignorance of the situation ahead would only bring danger. On the other hand, now that they knew the cause of the Demon Beast riot, the remaining problems were naturally much easier to solve.

If the diary of the Paladin contained no errors, then it seemed that a Guardian of the Goddess had for some unknown reason activated suddenly and then began slaughtering Chaos Monsters in the area—this was not surprising. If we go by Fang Zheng’s guess, the so-called Guardian of the Goddess was very likely some kind of autonomous machine of a higher civilization, and its internal instruction code likely contained commands to annihilate Chaos. Therefore, upon encountering a Chaos Monster, the Guardian would naturally not let these creatures off.

As things stood, the Chaos Monsters were clearly no match for the Guardian, only managing to scurry away in defeat. Perhaps it was for this reason that they chose to launch a fierce attack on the Northern Fortress. After all, as things stood, the combat power of the Northern Fortress was clearly inferior to that of the Guardian. The principle of picking on the weak rather than the strong was something even the Chaos Beasts understood.

The groups of Demon Beasts that Fang Zheng and his people had encountered previously were probably advancing in their direction to avoid the Guardian’s assault. Unfortunately, they ran head-on into the fleet led by Fang Zheng—this was truly a case of finding no path to heaven and no door into the earth… One could only say that these Chaos Monsters were indeed unlucky…

However, it was regrettable that although Fang Zheng dispatched many drones to scout, they had not found any trace of the “Guardian” recorded by the Paladin, which left him somewhat doubtful. After all, according to what Wells said, these Paladins, having ventured deep into the Chaos Land without the Crystal Tower’s expansion of Order Power, would have their minds and brains invaded by Chaos. If what he had recorded was just a fantasy due to his brain being out of control because of Chaos, then their excitement would have been in vain.

But if they wanted to search faster… Nymph did have a suggestion.

“Is she the one?”

Looking at the white warship floating in the air before him, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but feel surprised. This warship was different from the others; its exterior didn’t seem to be built for combat. The white fuselage stretched out like a snake, with the most striking feature being a white ring on the tail of the warship, marked with a red stripe. Well… from the looks of it, this did not seem like a warship.

“Stesius Level?”

“It was just built a few days ago. Although its combat aspects are very average, it specializes in search and research. Currently serving as my assistant, her capabilities are assured. Plus, she’s quite good at this, and I think if I let her do it, she can find our target much faster.”
