Null Zone

Back during the early stages of the Database, not long after its creation, the Database had granted itself essentially the equivalent to a trash can, something that it can dump excess or unnecessary code. However, after the Database had divided its power and authority into the several branches, this “trash can” had much more ground to cover. To solve this newly created dilemma, the Database had created several of these void-like spaces, one for each branch of power, these regions being known as Null Zones. Null Zones function exactly the same as the Void itself, devoid of existence and infinitely expanding. However, over time, these Null Zones begun to stretch and pull towards one another, such a phenomenon only being possible due to the properties these Null Zones consist of, attracting them to one another in comparison to how objects of like forces typically repel one another, Null Zones function in the opposite manner. Due to the stretching of these Null Zones, the outer regions would begin to break away, creating smaller pockets within existence. Even with these pockets within existence present, they’re still incredibly difficult to break through, an example of one of these Null Zones being broken into would be the incident occurring within StaticTale. The Vicissitude’s power was so great and so immense that it ripped open one of these Null Zones and once the Null Zone had been opened, it began altering the matter and existence around StaticTale, contributing toward the Universe’s fate.

Something to note about The Null Zone is that while it still serves as an area for the Database, along with the other branches of power to discard anything they deem unnecessary, it’s merged with the Void. The Void is best defined as the absence of existence, and due to the Null Zone being defined by the same definition, and it’s already known that the Null Zone will attempt to merge or consume anything similar to itself. One big difference between the Void and the Null Zone would be that due to the Null Zone being artificially created, it’s much easier to manipulate the Null Zone in comparison to the Void, though the Null Zone is far more corrosive than the Void itself, being able to perform the action of decaying existence at speed which greatly surpass that of the Void.

Because the Null Zone is technically part of the Database, it does have a Core, though because of how unstable its Core is, that is why it’s able to so effectively deconstruct the very foundation of existence, allowing it to still expand, even though it's mainly just expanding into the nothingness of the Void. The Null Zone’s Core is so corrosive that its stability level physically can’t be scaled. To summarize, the Void and Null Zone are connected, yet separate simultaneously. Things such as temperature, radiation, and essentially all forms of energy can’t exist within the Null Zone because they’ll be deconstructed almost instantaneously. However, if someone were to fall into the Null Zone or the Void, while they may be physically deconstructed, their consciousness would remain, essentially being reincarnated from the Null Zone or Void. A prime example of such being Obscurity. Ajax had fallen through the rip in existence and straight into a pocket of the Null Zone and due to the corrosiveness of the Null Zone, his physical vessel was diminished, though his consciousness was reborn through the Void.

In terms of the Null Zone’s Authority or Influence, both of these factors are undetermined. Given the Null Zone is devoid of existence, such things are incredibly difficult to scale. The only lead to the level of authority and influence it may have would be the fact that one must have some sort of conceptual authority over nonexistence itself to even remotely modify or make use of the Null Zone. Despite the fact that it’s impossible to reside within the Void or Null Zone, as that would advocate that an entity bound by Existence could reside within it, there are several entities present within the Void and Null Zone, the only known one being Obscurity as ever since the destruction of StaticTale, Obscurity has been forced to reside within nonexistence, though with the granted ability of transporting his consciousness into existence, furthermore allowing him to create a “physical” vessel from the nothingness of the Null Zone and Void.
