HSR- Multiversal Projection Chapter 16
🕑 Added 2025-04-23 03:00:12 +0000 UTCChapter 16: Gojō Satoru: This... there are even more powerful people?!
【 After inquiring with Asta, Stelle finally arrived at Herta's office.
Herta: "Yo, you finally made it. I won't beat around the bush. I'm working on a big project with my colleagues recently. If successful, we can overcome the ultimate problem that has plagued us for thousands of Amber Eras: the mystery of the 【Aeons】."
"Aeons!—Think about it, what miraculous existences! Don't you want to know?" Herta became more and more excited as she spoke, "Some Aeons were once ordinary humans like you and me, but somehow, they obtained power beyond our imagination! They are mysterious, powerful, silent, and terrifying! The mysteries about them cannot be explained in a few words!"
"How were they born? Why were they born? What were they born for? ... I ask you, Stelle, have you ever thought about these questions?" 】

"Ordinary humans?"
Mavuika's eyes widened when she heard these words.
Starting from the first Pyro Archon Xabalanque a thousand years ago, the Pyro Archons of all generations were also in human bodies. Although they possessed divine power, they still could not escape the birth, aging, sickness, and death of humans.
Becoming an Archon with a mortal body is a fantasy for people in other countries, but in Natlan, it is a goal that even three-year-old children can yearn for and strive for.
However, the weight of "Aeons" is completely different from that of "Pyro Archons".
The Aeons of other worlds seem to be stronger than their Teyvat gods in terms of power and authority. When Nanook the Destruction opened his eyes and stared at her, even Mavuika felt a chilling cold.
"That dark-skinned man, Nanook the Destruction... was he also human before?"
Thinking of this, Mavuika became interested. If this little Herta could really figure out the secret of the Aeons' power, could this experience be applied to the rules of Teyvat?
Regardless of whether it can or not, this is definitely worth paying attention to and trying.

【 "The four geniuses of the club have jointly written a program. See that huge machine in the office? The machine has a universe, but it's more streamlined and customized..."
Speaking of this, a cunning smile appeared on Herta's cute face, as if she was proud of her brilliance. She put her hands on her hips, subconsciously straightened her chest, and said proudly: "I call it: Metaverse."
Stelle scratched her head awkwardly: "Let's not ride this trend, shall we?"
"Is that so? My partners also said that, so I now call it 【 Simulated Universe 】. Go experience it now. Not only do I guarantee you won't have any losses, but I'll also pay you a large sum of money."
Hearing "reward," Stelle finally became interested. She walked to the machine and was about to ask Herta how to operate it when she suddenly felt a burst of dizziness, as if her consciousness was sucked in by something in an instant. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the space station.
However, there was no one here except her, and there were also some scattered Voidtroopers.
At this moment, a light screen appeared in front of her, and Herta's voice quickly came out: "Stelle, can you see me talking? If you see it, click the screen—"
"Your body is still in the office. This is a 【 Simulated Universe 】 generated based on your memory. Of course, it's still in the beta version. Move around and walk around." 】

"The body is still in place, but the consciousness goes to another world. Hmm... if it's a technique, it might be troublesome, but luckily it has nothing to do with us~"
Gojo Satoru pushed the sunglasses on his face and gulped down the milk tea in his hand, making a cheerful "ah—" sound.
Yuta Okkotsu looked at his teacher, who was a little too relaxed, and didn't know what to say for a while. He asked,
"Gojo-sensei, are you also interested in what's on the light screen?"
"Of course, I'm quite interested in those Aeons they mentioned."
Gojo gently pulled down his sunglasses, and his clear eyes, like the blue sea, concealed a hint of a smile.
"Yuta, you felt it too, right? That dark-skinned man..."
Recalling the eyes of Nanook the Destruction when he opened them, Yuta Okkotsu's forehead suddenly oozed with dense beads of sweat.
"Haha, you don't even need to think about it to know that that man is—absolutely super strong!"
Gojo laughed heartily, seemingly not taking it seriously.
"Since he's so strong, even if I'm not curious, that guy will be curious."
Without saying it explicitly, Yuta Okkotsu could guess that "that guy" referred to Ryomen Sukuna.
In fact, it was indeed the case. On the other side,
Ryomen Sukuna was indeed paying attention to Stelle's every move on the light screen.
Rather than paying attention to Stelle, Sukuna was actually more concerned about the "origin of the Aeons" that Herta mentioned. Compared to the Doomsday Beast that appeared before, the dark-skinned man named "Nanook" was more concerning to him.
Especially the moment his gaze met his, that feeling...
Was it fear?
...He couldn't tell. Anyway, since his birth thousands of years ago, in that long and boring life, he had never experienced such an emotion.
However, the humans who died in front of him had almost similar distorted expressions on their faces before their deaths.
"Some Aeons started as humans. Maybe Gojo Satoru is paying attention to this now, studying how to become an Aeon, eh?"
Kenjaku didn't know where he got a rocking chair from. He was comfortably lying on it, basking in the sun. Compared to Ryomen Sukuna's seriousness, he seemed much more relaxed.
"Boring."
Ryomen Sukuna crossed his arms and snorted coldly.
"Oh?"
Kenjaku took off the sunglasses on his eyes, and his already small eyes were even more narrowed into a slit under the sunlight. He smiled playfully and said,
"Since it's boring, why are you staring at that little girl so seriously?"
"..."
Sukuna didn't intend to explain. He took out his right hand from his embrace, pointed his index finger in Kenjaku's direction, and a sharp slash that appeared out of thin air instantly cut off the two wooden legs of the rocking chair under Kenjaku's butt.
The poor chair lost its balance in an instant, throwing the relaxed Kenjaku into a pile of dust.
"Hey! You bastard!..."
【 After Stelle walked around twice according to Herta's instructions, Herta said with satisfaction: "Very good, I want you to play Akivili. Go find a few monsters to fight first and see which simulated Aeon will notice you first."
"This is easy, watch me." As Stelle was about to swing her bat to start fighting, two more figures were projected beside her, namely March 7th and Dan Heng.
Although it was virtual, their skills were no less than in reality. Under the joint siege of several people, the monsters instantly cooled down.
However, at the moment the monsters fell, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
Stelle only felt that her five senses were instantly swallowed, and she came to a pitch-black void.
But soon the amber sky appeared, and countless copper mines, ambers, and opals fell from Stelle's face. This was a world-renowned mineral rain.
In the steaming melting, a huge object stretched its spine from the earth veins, its wide palms tightly holding a giant hammer, and Stelle looked up, only to see a golden figure slowly appearing in front of her in that vast void, like a towering deity in mythology, showing her a corner of greatness.
—【Preservation】 Aeon Qlipoth! 】

Gojo Satoru, who had just finished drinking milk tea outside the light screen, coughed violently, almost choking himself.
He supported the sunglasses that were about to fall off the bridge of his nose and looked at the behemoth that suddenly appeared on the light screen in disbelief.
He originally thought that the Destruction Aeon was strong enough.
This... there are even more powerful people?!
