Morgana's face was full of disbelief. She rubbed her brow, her eyes flicking back and forth between Yuan and the Little Clock.
"What do you mean?" Yuan did not quite understand Morgana's words.
"Impossible. Even though you've become a god, your Divine Body is still only half-finished. My Little Clock contains complete data records for third-generation Divine Bodies. How could it fail to analyze you?"
"Hm? Did the Little Clock bug out? Isn't that normal?" Yuan nodded unconcernedly. It was a computer, after all. Problems were normal.
Morgana's mouth fell open as she stared at the Little Clock and began muttering, "Impossible. The Little Clock broke? Even less possible. No, that's absolutely impossible."
Of course, Morgana would not suspect that the Little Clock had developed some bug, as Yuan suggested.
As a complete Celestial Computer, there were only a handful of them in the entire known universe, let alone one as large as hers, recording countless stores of knowledge, algorithms, and data. They could be counted on one hand.
Just because it was called a computer did not mean it could be compared to the trash of pre-nuclear civilizations. Therefore, there was only one explanation for the current situation.
"There's something wrong with your Super Gene, and it's a major problem." Morgana looked Yuan up and down, her tone filled with unshakable certainty.
"Something wrong?" Yuan's voice dropped. Morgana's words seemed to remind him of something. Suddenly, he clapped his hands, recalling the energy patterns he had once happened to observe in the Dark Dimension.
Back when he manipulated space-time, a small portion of those energy patterns deep within his genes would light up. Even when he controlled Dark Energy, part of them would light up as well.
Some of the lit energy patterns overlapped, while others were different. However, Yuan could sense that a large portion of the energy patterns in his Gene Chain had never lit up.
Resting his chin on his hand, Yuan pondered for a moment and decided Morgana was right. There was indeed something wrong with his genes, but it was probably not a bad thing. It meant a large part of his Super Gene had yet to be developed.
"So what do we do now?"
Seeing Yuan's contemplation, Morgana knew her guess was correct. He still had secrets, but that did not matter. As long as it was space-time, that was enough.
"It's not a big deal. This situation just hasn't appeared before. The Demon civilization is best at space-time technology. I'll adjust the algorithm, and it should be enough to analyze your body's data representation."
With that, Morgana's gaze changed as she entered Dark Dimension operation mode.
Entering the Dark Dimension. Celestial Computer Little Clock connection successful.
Within the Dark Dimension, Morgana remained calm as she skillfully adjusted the Little Clock's algorithmic information through the Dark Dimension.
Algorithm input complete. Calibration in progress. Calibration complete. Beginning retrieval of target—Yuan's data records. Beginning analysis of target Divine Body data representation. 5% 30% 50%
Seeing that the Little Clock had successfully begun its analysis, Morgana was immensely satisfied. She withdrew from the Dark Dimension, met Yuan's gaze, and nodded.
"Alright, the algorithm input is complete. Let's go." As she spoke, she grabbed Yuan's hand and sensed the changes in the surrounding space-time, preparing to make a space-time jump.
"I jump!"
"Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw!" Nothing around them changed. Morgana's expression froze. The Little Clock began operating at high speed, and after confirming that the algorithm was correct, she activated space-time once more.
"I'll jump again!" Still nothing changed.
"Fuck, damn it!" Morgana flushed and grew angry. She flushed from embarrassment, and she was angry at the Little Clock.
"Damn it, could the Little Clock really have bugged out?" Morgana entered the Dark Dimension again in disbelief and began carefully inspecting it. Her Dark Dimension was vast and cluttered; after tens of thousands of years, she had built it into something exceptionally magnificent.
But the Little Clock was not here. It was on the distant Demon One. Morgana could now only connect to the Little Clock through the Dark Dimension to inspect it.
Yuan merely stood there and watched quietly. Although he did not know how Morgana's Little Clock worked, a god pursued relentlessly even by the King of Gods probably would not make such a low-level mistake.
That left only one possibility: the unknown aspects of his Divine Body.
"Let me try." Seeing Morgana looking somewhat unhinged, Yuan spoke.
"Hm? You?"
"Yeah, I'll try." Yuan nodded.
"Fine." Without much thought, Morgana agreed.
Yuan closed his eyes. The next moment, the world before him changed. His Dark Dimension was far inferior to Morgana's. If Morgana's Dark Dimension was a precise warship, then his was a blank sheet of paper.
Without a Gene Engine, he could only connect through Dark Energy and the virtual interface provided by the Little Clock.
Little Clock connection successful. Welcome, Yuan! The Queen has granted you Level Three authorization. Under this authorization, you may use the Little Clock for any operation.
Yuan shook his head. After all, he did not know much about the knowledge levels of God-making civilizations. All he could do was alter certain operations, such as the external data representation of his Super Gene.
"I don't know how the Queen performs space-time operations. I have some guesses about why our space-time jump failed. However, I lack too much knowledge of God-making civilizations. I need your help."
"Of course! The Little Clock shows that the Queen's space-time algorithm is highly advanced. And please rest assured, the Little Clock will not develop the bug you mentioned."
Yuan glanced across the deathly silent Dark Dimension, reserving judgment about the Little Clock's words. Everyone made mistakes, let alone a man-made computer, even if it was the most advanced Celestial Computer.
"Alright, then continue. Continue the Queen's operation, but make some adjustments to her algorithm and ignore the unknown data representation of my Divine Body."
"Yuan, according to the Little Clock's database, the reason you failed to jump is that your Super Gene contains information not found in the database. Improving the algorithm according to your request will result in incomplete analysis by the Little Clock."
The Little Clock's cold voice echoed through the Dark Dimension, but Yuan shook his head, indicating that he did not care.
"It's fine. When the analysis is complete, I'll make further adjustments. Oh, and provide me with enough energy then."
"Understood. The Demon civilization never cares about energy. You may act without restraint."
"Good. Then begin."
Little Clock successfully connected to target. Beginning retrieval of target data. Analyzing target—Yuan. Invoking space-time algorithm. Ignoring unknown data representation of target Divine Body. Beginning analysis: 20% 50% 100% Analysis failed!
At that instant, Yuan moved. He focused with absolute concentration and began drawing Dark Energy through his body in a frenzied surge.
Detected a sharp depletion of target energy. Beginning energy replenishment for target.
In the main material world, Morgana listened to the information coming from the Little Clock. Staring in disbelief at Yuan, who was glowing blue before her eyes, her mouth slowly fell open.
"This is fucking unbelievable!"
