As a legend ranked mage who dominated ten god's domains, Black Mage's mental strength was far above the average, but now, Cyber Elf Alpha computing power was hundreds of times stronger than his?
She herself was stronger than hundreds of legend ranked beings?
No, it's impossible. Even to Norn, the God of Wisdom, it was impossible to reach this degree!
Chapter 402: Terrible Alpha
"There is something wrong! Even if you are a god, your computing power can't be so strong, not to mention a legend ranked elf. What are you?" Black Mage instinctively realized that there was a secret behind it.
The nature of Star Go was a battle of computing power, which was also called deduction ability.
If the gap between two chess players' computing powers was too wide, the result was already doomed.
Most hero ranked beings weren't entitled to enter the Starry Sky Chessboard, because their computing powers were too weak.
Unless the bloodline of the hero ranked being was about computing power, it wasn’t possible for them to find the suitable places to put down their chess players in the changing star map.
Legend ranked mental power was the basis to play Star Go.
Only after reaching this level, was it possible to play Star Go. Even so, a lot of legend ranked beings couldn't even pass the entrance test, the Nine Chess Pieces Go.
Why was Norn the strongest chess player? Apart from his stable style, his computing power was specially optimized by his godhood, this was his biggest advantage.
Perhaps Orfina the Ruby Dragon's computing power was stronger than Norn's, however, the God of Wisdom had optimized his computing power, which meant that he could release 120% of his true power, so he was the only 6 star points chess player.
However, compared to Cyber Elf Alpha, their computing powers were just a joke.
Even overlapped Orfina and Norn's competing powers together, their computing power was just 1% of the computing power Cyber Elf Alpha had shown!
In the Western God's Domain, the Mechanus God's Domain, Alpha was still sitting in the God Crystal. The mental antennas on her forehead shook, requiring for higher computing power.
The alchemists and engineers cheered.
"Launch the 11th and 12th Planet Quantum Computer!"
"Cooling! Cooling! Ensure the absolute advantage of Alpha's projection!"
"We will earn every game!"
"The Ruby Dragon and the God of Wisdom are just old-fashioned antiques! The future belongs to Cyber Elf Alpha!"
"Ha ha, I guess these 3 star points and 4 star points chess players are going to collapse. Our Alpha just opened 12 Planet Computers! We just used 10% of our true power!"
"Even the God of Wisdom is nothing in the face of our Alpha! Our Alpha has infinite computing power!"
Laughter burst from the alchemists and engineers.
After thousands of years from obtaining the God Crystal, building all the supporting facilities, ten generations of people had been born and passed away.
Now, only several elf engineers were the original planners who designed Alpha.
Today, the crystallization of countless people's wisdom finally blossomed and yielded fruit.
Black Mage wasn't wrong. As the newborn cyber god, Alpha could increase her computing power by adding more and more additional computing elements. She was the only god who had the god ability, "Infinite Computing Power".
Even Norn the God of Wisdom couldn't defeat her when coming to computing power.
All the elites in the Mechanus God's Domain believed that Alpha would be the only victor of all the games of the Starry Sky Chessboard from now on.
This was the beginning of a brand new era! This was the first announcement of the rise of the Mechanus God's Domain!
The era of Alpha was coming!
Black Mage stayed where he was for a long while after being defeated.
Am I defeated? Has my ambition of achieving 60 successive victories already failed?
Who am I? Where am I? What just happened? Just like all the chess players who met Alpha before, Black Mage started to wonder about the meaning of his life.
Suddenly, a star light flashed and a new name appeared in the front of Black Mage.
"A Cloud in the Sky", Black Mage remembered that it was the code name of another newbie.
Oh, he has achieved 10 successive victories and obtained 1 star point. As a newbie, he did really well.
From the aura of his projection, he should be at the legend rank. After all, his exuberant vitality couldn't be fake.
However, after meeting the "monster", Cyber Elf Alpha, Black Mage suddenly felt that the newbie was quite pleasing to the eye.
I can't win against that "monster", but it will be quite easy to maltreat other newbies! Looking at the 1 star point newbie, "A Cloud in the Sky", Black Mahe sneered.
Come on, newbie, let me enjoy the game!
"Pa!" After the routine to decide who went first, Yun Xi was on the offensive. He directly put the first chess piece onto tengen.
"Hey, hey..." Black Mage sneered, grinding his teeth.
How dare you give up your upper hand advantage? You are bringing about your own destruction!
Chapter 403: It's Impossible!
Cyber Elf Alpha's computing power was hundreds of times stronger than any legend ranked beings. Black Mage didn't believe that there would be another "monster" this time!
Therefore, when he saw Yun Xi put his first chess piece onto tengen, he forced a ferocious smile.
Do you really think that you are a monster like Cyber Elf Alpha? Newbie, I will teach you what a cruel world the Starry Sky Chessboard is!
"Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!" Both of them put down their chess pieces quickly, and Black Mage smoothly brought the situation on the chessboard into chaos.
Very well, I will win!
Black Mage carefully observed the style of "A Cloud in the Sky", and he confirmed that his style of playing Star Go wasn't like Alpha's strange style at all.
His moves have shown that he is totally a newbie!
How did he successfully pass the entrance test? He is totally a beginner of Star Go! How did he achieve 10 victories in a row before?
Black Mage didn't find any trap on the chessboard and any strange moves of Yun Xi's chess pieces.
After being defeated by Cyber Elf Alpha, he needed such a game to rebuild his self confidence!
"Pa!" The 53rd round, Black Mage successfully summoned the Black Death Hexagram again.
The shadow of black cloak appeared behind Black Mage again. He sneered as cold as a god of death.
When his Black Death Hexagram launched, one fifth of Yun Xi's chess pieces were eaten.
"Ha ha ha!" Black Mage laughed in a creepy tone.
The newbie has been recorded on the list of the God of Death! He already has no chance to reverse the situation!
Even Orfina the Ruby Dragon was defeated by Black Mage's Black Death Hexagram once, how can this newbie escape from it?
Cyber Elf Alpha could win, because she had predicted the appearance of his Black Death Hexagram by using her terrible computing power. She summoned four hexagrams by using the power of his hexagram itself.
Unless this newbie's computing power was also hundreds of times stronger than his, otherwise, it wasn't possible to reproduce what Cyber Elf Alpha did before!
The deduction, prediction, tricks and plans in his game with Alpha was massive. If they wrote their calculation procedures on papers, Black Mage's calculation could cover the surface of a land and Cyber Elf Alpha's calculation could cover the entire surface of a world!
After learning from the game with Alpha, Black Mage became more careful.
Even though his opponent was just a newbie, he wouldn't give him any chance. Only "a thorough victory" could help him restore confidence.
"Hmm, it's time now." Looking at the "ko" Black Mage made, Yun Xi nodded.
Black Mage was probably the strongest chess player he had ever met. From the b
eginning, Black Mage was preparing for the appearance of the "ko".
This was Black Mage's style, Chaotic Trap, which he created after playing Star Go thousands of times in the "Sea of Chaos" he built in the real world.
Cyber Elf Alpha's style was building on the Planet Quadrant Computers and all kinds of affiliated satellites.
"Black Death Hexagram" was Black Mage's road of victory.
"Infinite Computing Power" was Cyber Elf Alpha's absolute advantage of winning.
Black Mage dragged his opponent into the sea of chaos, then defeated his opponent by using his rich experience.
Cyber Elf Alpha analyzed her opponent's advantage and made up her own disadvantage by her overwhelming computing power.
Their styles seemed to be different, but the nature was the same. Most chess players followed the same rule.
No matter what the style was, the basic was computing power.
Every chess player of Star Go was a real mathematician that had overwhelming, godlike computing power.
Till today, an unknown newbie broke into this world.
"Pa!" Yun Xi put down his chess piece.
"The wind rises."
This chess piece stood for "connection". After being put down, one third of the area on the chessboard became the Sanctuary of Wind.
"What?!" Black Mage opened his mouth wide.
How can this be possible? No, the Sanctuary of Wind, it not even possible for that to appear in that area! Moreover, it has occupied one third of the area of the chessboard!
Compared to Yun Xi's Sanctuary of Wind, his Black Death Hexagram was too small. They aren't at the same level!
Where am I? Who is playing with me? What happened?
Oh, right, when did he build the Sanctuary of Wind? That area doesn't meet any of the requirements for establishing the Sanctuary of Wind!
Chapter 404: 1+1
"Hiss!"
The green Sanctuary of Wind was three times larger than the Black Death Hexagram, it easily blew off the dark air on the star map. The shadow of the god of death behind Black Mage cried and was deported from the chessboard immediately.
In the face of the Sanctuary of Wind, Black Mage's Black Death Hexagram turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!
Black Mage gazed at the chessboard. He repeated Yun Xi's moves over a thousand times in his heart, but still couldn't find how this situation formed.
This star map biased toward dark type, this was also the reason why he was so confident.
What happened?
How did the Sanctuary of Wind form?
Am I really defeated?
What the hell was happening?!
Black Mage had played Star Go many years, and he was defeated by many people many times. He accepted to be defeated by Orfina the Ruby Dragon, Norn the God of Wisdom and even Cyber Elf Alpha, however, he couldn't accept what happened this time!
The game with Cyber Elf Alpha made him wonder what the meaning of his life was, this game with Yun Xi made him wonder if he really knew how to play Star Go.
He understood how Cyber Elf Alpha defeated him, it was because of her overwhelming computing power.
However, he didn't understand how he was defeated by "A Cloud in the Sky" at all!
There wasn’t any battle, competition, or trick, everything went smoothly just like he thought, then he suddenly found that he had lost.
Weird. It's too weird!
Black Mage never met such a style and such an opponent before.
This was Yun Xi's style of play Star Go, this was his unique genre of Star Go!
Yun Xi only put down his chess pieces by following his feelings. He didn't need to calculate at all.
Black Mage could calculate the change that would happen in the next 30 rounds, calculating 1 teraflop per second.
Cyber Elf Alpha was more terrible. She could easily calculate all the changes that would happen in the next 100 rounds, calculating 1 petaflop per second.
As for Yun Xi's computing power... he still felt headaches when seeing the mathematical books such as "Nine Chapters on Mathematical Art" and "Geometrical Principle".
Why could Yun Xi win? The reason was simple.
When Black Mage tried to set his proud Black Death Hexagram in the chaotic area, Yun Xi had seen the hidden Sanctuary of Wind on the chessboard.
Yes, Black Mage was right, the Sanctuary of Wind wouldn't be formed within 50 rounds, till after the 54th round, the trace of the hidden Sanctuary of Wind would appear.
From the chess piece he put on tengen, Yun Xi sensed the aura of the Sanctuary of Wind!
From the beginning, he was disposing the Sanctuary of Wind. His instinct told him that the Sanctuary of Wind was the biggest "ko" that could be formed on this star map.
When Black Mage's Black Death Hexagram formed, Yun Xi's Sanctuary of Wind was waiting for him to activate 30 rounds ago. He was just bored waiting for the coming of the wind.
Actually, Black Mage was already defeated 30 rounds ago. He already couldn't stop Yun Xi's Sanctuary of Wind from forming at that time.
To Yun Xi, it was as simple as "1+1". In his heart, Star Go was really easy that even a monkey could understand its rules.
If Black Mage knew Yun Xi's thought, he would definitely spit blood in anger!
You can read the star map and naturally understand that the embryonic form of the Sanctuary of Wind would form after 50 rounds? You can see the orbits of stars by using your naked eyes?
Oh dammit, if I can do it, why do I need to increase my computing power?
The orbits of stars followed countless rules of the world, every second and minute the changes that happened to a star was astronomical!
Only legend ranked beings could withstand the overwhelming calculation to predict the orbit of stars.
Even gods couldn't see the traces of the star map with their eyes. It had nothing to do with computing power. It was simply impossible!
His style... was already beyond "legend"!
If Black Mage's computing power was 100, Cyber Elf Alpha's computing power would be 10,000 or more, Yun Xi's computing power would be only 1 or less. However, he could win, because they were not comparing the same thing.
In the eyes of the Black Mage, he saw countless computing formulas when he looked at the stars.
In the eyes of Yun Xi, he only saw a beautiful star map formed by stars, and he naturally knew how to make it become more beautiful by moving the stars.
In Black Mage's mind, Starry Sky Chessboard was a stage of showing wisdom, a competition of computing power.
In Yun Xi's mind, it was a matter of nature, because he just tried to arrange the patterns on a picture to make it become beautiful.
This was the reason why Black Mage froze after seeing Yun Xi's Sanctuary of Wind. Till his time ran out, he didn't put down a chess piece.
Because the "thread" in his mind had broken.
Chapter 405: Identity Is Exposed?
"Isn't he a strange man?" Yun Xi remembered the chess player called Black Mage, who gave up playing after seeing Yun Xi's Sanctuary of Wind.
After 11 games, Yun Xi gradually learned to conjecture the strength of his opponent from the star points above their heads.
So far, Black Mage was the strongest, because he had 4 star points, his moves were skillful and his tricks were also very interesting.
However, in Yun Xi's mind, Maha Mystery's Star Go Strength was slightly stronger than Black Mage.
"My opponents will be stronger and stronger. 4 star points chess player is already so strong, how about 7 star points chess player or even 9 star points chess player? Their Star Go Strength must be as strong as a monster!" Yun Xi clenched his fists. Star Go was really easy, and Teacher Casina thought that he could achieve 100 successive victories easily, however, he wasn't going to let down his guard.
Referred to the game of Go in the mortal world, he himself should be just a beginner, a 4 star points chess player should be
an average player, a 6 star points chess player should be a real expert, and a 9 star points chess player should be a high mountain that wasn't possible to climb now.
He shouldn't meet 8 star points or 9 star points players too early. The strongest opponent was the 4 star points chess player, Black Mage, perhaps it was the protection mechanism of the Starry Sky Chessboard to newbies.
If he only needed to play with other newbies, he was confident to achieve 100 victories in a row!
"Master, is Star Go interesting?" Looking at Yun Xi's face, even Mei'er could see his confidence.
"Yes, it's interesting! It's an easy and interesting game, I can't wait for the next turn!"
"The star maps are beautiful, when I put down chess pieces, I felt as if I was touching the real stars. It's fantastic!"
"Thank you, Teacher Casina. Thank you for recommending me to the Starry Sky Chessboard!"
Mei'er looked around and murmured, "Master, this game isn't as simple as you think."
"But, it doesn't matter, as long as you enjoy it!"
At the same time, Cyber Elf Alpha defeated another 4 star points chess player.
"No, impossible... what happened?" The 4 star points chess player, "Maple Teeth" supported his hands on the chessboard and gazed at his remaining chess pieces fixedly.
He was really shocked by Cyber Elf Alpha's computing power!
"What are you?" Everyone who had played with Alpha had this doubt in their minds.
The gap of computing power couldn't be so wide amongst legend ranked beings. Everyone was shocked by Alpha's overwhelming computing power.
After defeating "Maple Teeth", Cyber Elf Alpha had achieved 40 victories in a row.
When other people had only played a dozen turns, Cyber Elf Alpha had achieved 40 successive victories and obtained 4 star points.
Her computing power was far beyond anyone's imagination.
From the beginning, none of them could take any advantages in the face of her, most chess players were defeated by her within 50 rounds. Black Mage was a rare exception that could set and launch his "ko".
In some sense, Black Mage's "Sea of Chaos" was the only Star Go Style that made a few troubles to Alpha. In order to find the rules amongst the chaos Black Mage created on the chessboard, she had to increase her computing power tenfold.
