'Cyrene' gazed at Herta, unsure why the woman had suddenly perked up with excitent.
"...Who told you to write your proposal so grandly? 'Construct a world from moria, reflect the mories of the real world, recreate it within the Simulated Universe.' How is that any different from Fuli remaking the world?"
The entire concept in her plan was fundantally designed around the thesis of 'Fuli collecting the world's mories to reshape the world after its end.'
Listening to their debate, Screwllum suddenly spoke up:
"Deduction: Madam Herta's intention is to analogize the difference between Fuli and a Pure Child of Anāsrava, distinguishing whether the past being looked back upon is a segnt of ti or the entire galaxy."
"See, Screwllum gets it. Unlike a certain blockhead who has zero associative ability. A sha she's even a Pure Child of Anāsrava now."
Herta snapped her fingers and then tilted her head up to look at 'Cyrene.'
"..."
Cyrene was montarily speechless. She was clearly smarter now, yet Herta had beco even more blatant about calling her an idiot.
This woman... was she being considerate or did she just enjoy getting a rise out of people?
"So quit the chatter and get ready to play Fuli in the Simulated Universe."
When you thought about it, the logic of the Aeon Fuli wasn't that different from a Pure Child of Anāsrava.
A Pure Child of Anāsrava devotes itself to nding past karma, allowing the world to move forward.
Fuli is born at the end, looking back to the universe's beginning—the logic is the sa.
But then there are mokeepers' rumors that Fuli intends to remake the world with its mories.
So then.
Does this world follow a logical loop, endlessly cycling from birth to end?
Or is the Cremator's interpretation the correct one:
The previous Fuli nded the past's karma, allowing the world to advance beyond Fuli, but in doing so, trapped that forr Fuli in the past.
Thus, the new world still has no Fuli. It must wait for another end, for another Fuli to be born and fill the void.
Letting the world move forward within these cycles.
Which of these two possibilities is real? Or perhaps neither is?
While such things can't be proven...
This kind of speculation is fascinating.
"In this world, mories and moria are crucial components. Mimicking the real world to build a small, Aedes Elysiae—didn't another Cyrene in a different tiline do just that?"
It was precisely because Herta, through Nous, had glimpsed those divergent tilines.
Witnessed the thods of those Pure Children of Anāsrava.
That when a genuine Pure Child of Anāsrava who could actually help appeared right beside her...
This idea popped into Herta's head.
Admittedly, just reading the proposal—though bold and insane—it was logically feasible.
And with 'Cyrene' here, this theoretically possible plan actually had a chance of realization.
Right then, Divine Herta suddenly said:
"So the question arises—where do you plan to put this entirely different Simulated Universe? Surely not on the space station again?"
From Herta's perspective, this Simulated Universe, while sharing the sa research goals as the one in her mory, was a completely different beast.
Sothing of that caliber being kept on the space station...
Would only invite the endless, prying eyes of the Ruin Author's cadres, wouldn't it?
Besides, the region around The Blue wasn't exactly abundant in moria.
As for Herta City...
The thought of it had just crossed 'Cyrene's' mind, and she glanced at Herta.
Only to see Herta cross her arms:
"Don't even think about Herta City. There's no room."
Screwllum said nothing.
He wasn't the project's initiator; he couldn't just host the thing on Planet Screwllum.
As for Ruan i... she didn't even have a fixed base.
'Cyrene'? Even less so—she was a pure vagrant, drifting wherever.
So, everyone looked around.
Their gazes finally settled on Divine Herta, who had posed the question.
"..."
Seemingly having anticipated this very scene, Divine Herta sighed helplessly:
"Isn't it the sa for the Land of Light? The environnt there is even harsher than The Blue's. Might as well have Bai Ming ask if it's feasible to do it here, on Amphoreus."
The things Herta envisioned for this Simulated Universe were nurous.
Relying on a billion moria to create it, and after incorporating excessive simulation fidelity...
Beyond its primary function of researching Aeons, with so expansion, it could fully utilize the properties of moria to develop all sorts of different training grounds.
For instance, simulating the Swarm Disaster or the Emperor's Wars to train troops, or using the Simulated Universe for tactical purposes like conducting war gas or even predictions.
Just off the top of her head, Divine Herta could think of many applications.
A sha realizing it would also require a suitable environnt.
The Asdana star system where Penacony resided was far too saturated.
Amphoreus, being an artificial region, was actually more suited for constructing the main frawork.
As Herta's eyes turned toward her, 'Cyrene's' cheek twitched slightly.
Looks like the job of communicating this had landed on her head.
"I'll go ask then. Building a space station here should be possible. You all handle the simulation plans and initial prep work over there? We can link up online if anything cos up."
Divine Herta gave a slight nod.
Most of the preliminary work was well within the capabilities of Herta Space Station.
As for the others, they knew without being told what they each needed to do.
They could follow the original Simulated Universe division of labor.
Just as 'Cyrene' was about to leave, Herta grabbed 'Cyrene's' wrist and pulled her closer:
"Hold on. First, whip up a quick moria space. Screwllum and I will figure out how to artificially manipulate mories. We caught a few mokeepers before; they'll do nicely for research."
Cyrene closed the proposal she had finished reading.
She tilted her head, looking at the keen sparkle in Herta's eyes.
She knew Herta was fully in the zone now.
So what else was there to say? Ti to get to work.
As for the 'mokeepers' Herta ntioned... best to pretend she hadn't heard that.
Her job was just to maintain the moria world and cooperate with the others.
So, after setting up a small 'Mnemonic Realm' on Herta Space Station and sourcing local materials—feeding in so mories from both the station and Amphoreus—Cyrene finally left the space station.

Returning to Amphoreus.
The Marmoreal Palace, visited many tis in the ga, was her first ti seeing it in reality.
In this relaxed bathhouse, 'Cyrene' encountered two unexpected characters.
"Wow~ So this is the other Miss Cyrene? Pleasure to et you. You can call Sparkle."
Sparkle squinted her eyes, grinning as she looked at the newly arrived Cyrene.
Standing beside Sparkle was Oswaldo.
Though compared to their last eting,
He seed less sharp-edged this ti.
"Hello. I am Oswaldo Schneider of the Interastral Peace Corporation."
"This is Vice-Director of the Strategic Investnt Departnt, Sparkle. We are here representing the Corporation to assist Amphoreus in integrating more swiftly into the galactic trade system."
After a symbolic light handshake with Oswaldo, 'Cyrene' glanced over at Aglaea, Tribios, and Cerydra standing to the side.
Captain Ken, representative of the Land of Light; and Hiko, navigator of the Astral Express.
"..."
Talk about bad timing.
