It doesn't matter how does it work inside. There's no free will, you are bound to the action of the physics from the Universe. Period.

What makes you say that? Have you read serious arguments against this view (ideally from academic philosophers, not somebody like me on HN!)?

What if free will is part of the formula in the the laws of the universe?

Free will doesn't exist as you are part of the universe. Thus, you have the same free will as chemical reactions in your brain. None.

What if it's the other way around: the universe is part of you. Also consider that determinism can't exist without free will, as darkness cannot exist without light, or warmth can't exist without cold. They're mutually dependent on each other.
