Chapter 188: Simulated Universe, Refine It For Me!
Herta's Office.
Beside the Simulated Universe equipment, Herta and Screwllum were linking to the Simulated Universe in an unconventional manner,
researching and discussing the unknown code that automatically evolved within the Simulated Universe's underlying structure.
"Conclusion: Cannot break through."
Screwllum adjusted the top hat on his head, his pale green mechanical eyes flickering, his tone conveying
clear astonishment.
"Even using the Difference Engine Sphere as an attack node to drive the Simulated Universe, we cannot parse that unknown
code."
The Difference Engine is a planetary-scale megastructure system.
Essentially an elegant string of state transition equations, the Screwllum species and inorganic life on other planetary surfaces serve as cells within this automaton,
and also as smaller cellular automatons.
Just by listening to the description, one can imagine its computational power, which is one of the top-tier super
devices in the entire universe.
"Query: Why does it exist?"
"Who knows? It's an anomaly that arose during those two brats' last test."
In Herta's amethyst eyes, tens of thousands of data streams poured like a waterfall.
"Since even you, with the Difference Engine Sphere and the Simulated Universe, cannot break through the surface code, I believe this
part of the code is at least on the level of the Machine Head System code."
Herta stroked her delicate chin, her expression both excited and troubled.
Excited by the unknown, it was as if the Machine Head had open-sourced itself to them, making research
more convenient.
Yet, troubled by not knowing where to begin.
In reality, the Simulated Universe's upgrade and maintenance didn't consume much of her time. The reason it took so
long to schedule follow-up tests with Caelus was because Herta was researching that unknown code.
She tried to use hacking methods to break into the code's interior, but Herta considered herself average in the field of computer science,
her skills not matching Screwllum's.
"Hypothesis: Is it code on the essence-level of an Aeon?"
After Herta shared that part of the code with the Simulated Universe project team, Screwllum became very
interested. Personally interacting with that code was one of the reasons for his visit.
The result truly surprised him, even somewhat shocked him.
Where did this code even come from? Will a second Aeon related to Wisdom
appear in the future?
As is well known, Nous, the Erudition, was originally a stellar computer seeking to solve all things, eventually
ascending to an Aeon through continuous evolution.
Just as Herta and Screwllum continued their discussion, they both paused at a certain moment,
looking at the Simulated Universe's backend operations.
"Screwllum, what's with this computing power? Did you allocate it just now?"
Herta pointed with a puzzled hand at a fan-shaped region on the projection. That region occupied a very small part of the entire fan,
not even one percent.
Small it may be, but consider the base!
The Simulated Universe's regular computing power can support the entire operations of civilizations across dozens of galaxies,
and its instantaneous calculation power can briefly support one-seventh of the real universe.
Given this base, even allocating one ten-thousandth of its computing power would be enough to support planetary-level calculations
for a planet that hasn't even entered interstellar civilization.
"Negative, I have stopped my allocation of Simulated Universe computing power."
Screwllum's mechanical face was expressionless, but his gentle, synthesized mechanical voice revealed
a hint of confusion.
He had thought Herta was allocating it, but clearly not.
"Could it be that little rascal who snuck in?"
Herta acknowledged Silver Wolf's hacking skills, which could rival Screwllum's, certainly among the best
in the universe.
She wasn't particularly outstanding in computer science, perhaps a step behind Silver Wolf, but detecting
traces of intrusion was still within her capabilities.
The reason she hadn't taken action was manifold, one being that the Simulated Universe was currently being tested,
and the test was more important.
"No, something's still not right. That little rascal is still hidden."
Herta checked the backend scan, looking somewhat perplexed.
"Who is the audacious one, daring to steal the Simulated Universe's computing power... No, this is an
active internal allocation."
Herta and Screwllum exchanged glances.
"Runtime error?"
Besides her, Screwllum, and a top-tier hacker with Aether editing capabilities already inside the Simulated Universe,
who else could allocate Simulated Universe computing power internally?
"Let me see what this computing power is doing?"
Herta used the console to lock onto the calling source thread, querying the computational data in the data chain,
and then...
"...(O_O)"
Staring at the data, Herta's expression uncharacteristically changed, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
"o_o?"
Even the genius sentient machine, the Mechanical Aristocrat Lord Screwllum, had his CPU briefly
crash at this moment.
It was a comic.
The comic was incredibly exquisite, with a realistic yet dreamlike art style, beautified just right, every page
suitable for promotional material.
The problem was the content.
A beautifully muscular figure with six arms, slender fingers exploring the tall, powerful centaur-like body,
tracing every tight and firm muscle line.
"My love, your body is most wonderful."
"This is the primal desire of all beings, and the foundation upon which Abundance is practiced. Why do you resist such
great love?"
The beautifully muscular figure used two arms to remove her veil and shed her clothes, while the other four arms had already reached towards the
agile and fervent lower body, like that of a horse.
"No need for tension, no need for fear. This is your inner desire. You may look down and see for yourself; it already stands
erect, yearning for my solace."
The bound centaur could not resist the rising desire of Abundance... and Propagation.
"I, I shall satisfy you, shooting forth with explosive force!"
"Guh—!"
Next to the image, five characters were written in strong, vigorous calligraphy: 'Ultimate Humiliation!'
Where am I?
What am I looking at?
What the hell is this?!
Upon realizing the identities of the protagonists and the content of the images, even Herta's brain couldn't help but
tremble.
As the subsequent pages of the comic were generated within seconds, Herta felt as if her brain had been run over by 100
bulldozers repeatedly.
It wasn't just this one comic; various similar contents, a myriad of novels, short films,
and movies were being generated at an extremely rapid pace within this data chain.
"What the f***!"
Herta truly couldn't hold back.
Whether it was the ingenious operation of using the Simulated Universe's computing power to draw erotic comics and write 'sexy novels', or
the content of the comics themselves.
...
At this moment, inside the Simulated Universe, where time flow was maximized.
"Excellent, excellent, I see that Auntie Yao is indeed still quite alluring!"
Stelle was holding her phone, "reviewing" each of the creations Caelus had strung together, a faint blush on her snowy cheeks.
She wasn't sure if it was from excitement or if her emotions were stirred by the exquisite, stimulating comics.
"This looks very classic too!"
Stelle's small mouth gaped open, drooling, unconsciously rubbing her legs.
"This one is so hot!"
Looking at the exquisite comic on her phone screen, Stelle swallowed, her small hand instinctively reaching for Caelus's
abdomen.
Slap!
Bang~!
"Ouch!"
"Still want to watch? Control yourself!"
Her small hand was mercilessly slapped away. Caelus, holding the scabbard of Jizo Mitama, tapped Stelle's clean forehead,
like knocking a wooden fish, tap-tap-tapping.
He could feel the resonance between them; this Stellaron Spirit was clearly emotionally stirred by the beautiful images of the comic,
getting handsy and disobedient.
It was distracting him.
"Oh." Covering her struck forehead with both hands, Stelle pouted slightly, looking aggrieved.
Then, when she closed the comic and opened the comment section below, seeing the explosive comments,
she instantly cheered up.
"AI, refine it for me!"
Caelus wielded Jizo Mitama, eroding the Simulated Universe.
The data of the Simulated Universe was truly immense, and it interfaced with the real universe's Path system. Compared to it,
the current Jizo Mitama was too tiny.
Moreover, the special spirit, the Herrscher of Erosion, Rin, was not present.
The mobilization of terrifying computing power, equivalent to several planetary systems, was not achieved by forcibly eroding with Jizo Mitama.
Instead, it was like using a small force to move a heavy object, akin to switching a train's tracks. It didn't require the power to move the train,
only the power to pull a lever and make the train switch to another track.
Only the lever needed to be eroded.
This was easy, but also easy to fix. However, Caelus only needed to use this computing power for a short time.
Even among residents of interstellar civilizations, how many can utilize computing power on the scale of several planets?
Even if they could, who would use this computing power, which could be sold for a fortune, to produce comics?
Caelus was different; he was freeloading on Herta Space Station's energy and the Simulated Universe's computing power.
Comics drawn with several planetary-level computing powers, with Caelus providing the plots and settings.
One can imagine how exquisitely crafted they were, truly masterpieces of divine craftsmanship!
At this moment, supported by the immense computing power of the Simulated Universe, numerous comics, novels, and videos about the Aeon of the Hunt and the Aeon of Abundance
flooded all short video platforms and websites.
Not just the Xianzhou Luofu, but other Xianzhou ships, and even the Interastral Peace Network were overwhelmed.
Although it was the Simulated Universe, it was a real data world. The various Xianzhou ships were enraged, each employing
various methods to try and ban the websites and track down the culprit.
However, all available methods, such as the Luofu's Matrix of Divination, relied on the Simulated Universe
for computing power and backend operations.
But Caelus, too, was supported by the Simulated Universe's computing power, coupled with Jizo Mitama. For a short time,
no one could ban the websites.
Such a feat stirred up a huge commotion within the Simulated Universe.
Caelus looked at the comment section Stelle was browsing; it was a chaotic free-for-all, blowing up even the 'explosion world'!
Abominations of Abundance and Hunt factions stood on the same front line for the first time, frantically searching for the perpetrator of this
incident.
Of course, there were also many 'schadenfreude' spectators who believed neither in Abundance nor Hunt, and they were the most numerous.
The comments were all praises for the amazing author!
Caelus nodded in satisfaction.
Having achieved this level, the system rewards should be quite good!
Meanwhile, Silver Wolf, hidden and observing from the shadows, was also astonished.
Watching the constantly rising popularity of the R18 comics and videos, her eyes widened, and her mouth slightly agape.

Silver Wolf's expression was exceptionally priceless. She knew Caelus was impressive, but never expected him to be this "6" (cool/amazing).
Heavens, what kind of divine operation is this?!
Wasn't he testing the Simulated Universe?
Is this how he tests it?
Herta wanted to ask too.
She directly stopped the time acceleration from the outside with administrator privileges, then hurriedly entered with Screwllum.
"You two! What in the world are you doing!?"
Herta's shout directly rang in Caelus's and Stelle's ears.
What the hell, using the computing power of the Simulated Universe, into which four geniuses poured their highest technical prowess, to draw erotic pictures?
"Attracting Aeons, of course."
"Attracting my foot!"
Hearing Caelus's righteous answer, Herta's composure slightly crumbled.
Could erotic pictures and comics attract that Aeon?
The Aeon of Lewdness, perhaps?
More importantly, how did Caelus manage to allocate Simulated Universe computing power internally?
"Drawing erotic art is a righteous act; we are heroes!"
Stelle put her hands on her hips, proudly puffing out her chest.
"Do you understand the meaning of 'May all who seek, obtain'? The comics and novels I've created this time
cover all categories. No matter how peculiar or ordinary your 'XP' (sexual preference) is, you'll find your immortal masterpiece."
As soon as Caelus noticed Herta and Screwllum cutting off computing power support, he sent Jizo Mitama back
to the Honkai world.
"You..."
Herta's small face instantly fell.
What kind of hero?!
And that phrase, does it mean that?
However, before Herta could flare up, a voice of pity and compassion suddenly resounded.
Light-colored nectar rained down from the sky, fine and continuous.
"May all sentient beings obtain what they seek."
Instantly, the noisy universe fell silent.
There, a phantasmal figure unfurled six arms, long hair like magpie feathers, blooming in the boundless cosmos.
She stretched her beautifully muscular form freely, joints extending, as if performing a cosmic dance.
Hmm, it had the beauty of Nurgle making a VTuber debut after transmigrating as Shub-Niggurath.
"!!!"
"???"
Herta and Screwllum were shocked for a year.
The Aeon of Abundance had actually descended!!?
