The Starry Sky Chessboard: Book 6 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

by Fat Bread

  Even before the design data of Cyber Elf Alpha was finished, all the information of Norn had been recorded in the Quadrant Computers of the Mechanus God's Domain and was studied countless times.

  From thousands of years ago, the Mechanus God's Domain had been prepared for this duel, the game which stood for the highest wisdom in the endless god's domains!

  Norn's level was forever the highest amongst all the Star Go players that had been recorded.

  Code name: the God of Wisdom.

  Real identity: the God of Wisdom of the Western God's Domain, the Sorcerer Supreme of the Sorcerer God's Domain, the Supreme Magister of the Mage God's Domain. In some god's domains, people called him "the God of Medicine" or "the Guardian of Agriculture".

  Origin: unknown.

  Homeland: unknown.

  Appearance: most of the time, his appearance is a one-eyed old man with a Caduceus. Occasionally, he would appear using the face of a young man.

  He was the strongest Star Go player and one of the top three mages. He once defeated three Supreme Magisters alone.

  Throughout the history of the Starry Sky Chessboard, his winning percentage was the highest.

  No matter who his opponent was, his winning percentage was always over 50%. It was really amazing.

  Now, Cyber Elf Alpha noticed something incongruous from Norn.

  Chapter 412: The Truth of Norn

  Winning probability: 51%.

  Draw probability: 28%.

  Failure probability: 21%

  This was what Alpha calculated from the game with Norn the God of Wisdom.

  In the face of Norn the God of Wisdom on the Starry Sky Chessboard, 51% of winning probability was unprecedented, however, it was abnormal to Cyber Elf Alpha.

  Her computing power was hundreds of times stronger than Norn's, and she had put every chess piece onto the most suitable place on the chessboard. How can Norn the God of Wisdom have any chance to reverse the situation?

  Which part is wrong? Is there a flaw in my equations?

  Start self-scan.

  Cyber Elf Alpha ordered, then the engineers of the Mechanus God's Domain started to get busy with work again.

  One Planet Quadrant Computer after another started to self-scan with loud roars.

  Every second Cyber Elf Alpha spent on the Starry Sky Chessboard, the resource she consumed could make a small country go bankrupt.

  This was the necessary price to launch Cyber Elf Alpha, it was the feature of this newborn cyber god.

  At the same time, in the Caduceus of Loren the God of Wisdom, three small light points were looking at the huge Starry Sky Chessboard gloomily.

  This was a secret no one knew, Norn the God of Wisdom wasn't "one person". To be precise, the one-eyed old man and the young man were both the real Norn's disguises.

  The real Norn was a trinitarian god, it was the avatar of three goddesses who revived after the Twilight of the Gods.

  The first goddess was "Urd", the big sister of the three goddesses. Her name represented "past" and "death", she was the most exalted one of the three.

  Urd had short silver hair and brown skin, because her mother was a giant, the queen of the giant kingdom.

  The second goddess was "Verthandi", the middle sister of the three goddesses. Her name represented "present" and "fate".

  Verthandi had soft black long hair and snow white skin. She was a standard god in the era of the Twilight of the Gods.

  The third goddess was "Skuld", the younger sister of the three goddesses. Her name represented "future", and she was the most optimistic one of the Norns.

  Skuld had golden braids and a cute face. Her properties were average, because her bloodline was from giant and god both.

  They were the descendants of Ymir, the natural goddesses who were bred by Yggdrasil.

  Norn wasn't just one person, but Norns, this was the reason why Norn was the strongest mage, because his power was from three goddesses.

  Why could Norn stand firmly and fight steadily on the Starry Sky Chessboard? Because Norns could observe their opponent from past, present, and future at the same time, so they could design the most perfect countermeasure.

  Even Orfina couldn't defeat Norn, because her strategy was totally undisguised in the eyes of the three goddesses.

  However, Norn the God of Wisdom faced their biggest challenge today.

  Cyber Elf Alpha's computing power was too strong. Even Norns felt the strain in the face of Alpha.

  Even though they could predict what Alpha would do after 5 rounds, they didn't understand the meaning of Alpha's moves.

  They could see her chess pieces, but couldn't understand the implication behind them!

  It was really a long-lost experience for the Norns, it was an unknown state they tasted before when they faced the existences that were beyond the legend rank!

  In the entire Western God's Domain, only one person could let Norns have this feeling.

  Ionia, the god above all gods, the master of the entire Western God's Domain!

  Of course, Cyber Elf Alpha couldn't have touched the realm of the god above all gods, however, her computing power was also beyond the limit of Norns.

  Cyber Elf Alpha's doubt was also the three goddesses' doubt.

  Something was incongruous!

  At the 100th round, Cyber Elf Alpha finally found the most suitable method by increasing her computing power.

  The Sea of Chaos, the unique skill of Black Mage.

  The more chaotic the situation on the chessboard, the higher computing power the chess players needed to put into use.

  Norn the God of Wisdom didn't make any mistake, however, "he" was still defeated.

  Although the three goddesses could predict the following 5 rounds of the game, however, they didn't understand Alpha's line of thought, which caused them to waste too much time.

  And this was the turning point to determine the last winner.

  Till the 130th round, Norn's chess pieces on the chessboard were just slightly less than Alpha's. The situation was still uncertain.

  At this time, the fatal problem appeared.

  Norn had almost run out of time.

  Star Go actually had a time limit. Because Norn spent much more time in thinking than Cyber Elf Alpha, his time was first to run out.

  The 150th round, Norn finally conceded.

  Norn had only about 10 seconds. The three goddesses knew that they couldn't win within 10 seconds.

  By using her strong computing power, Cyber Elf Alpha finally defeated the strongest chess player, ascending the throne of the Starry Sky Chessboard!

  Chapter 413: The Prediction of the God of Wisdom

  In the Caduceus stood for wisdom, the three goddesses touched the marks stood for "concede" at the same time.

  Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld all agreed that they had been defeated.

  Standing in the balance of victory, the weight of Cyber Elf Alpha was far heavier than their weight.

  They could find no way to reverse the situation within 10 seconds!

  "We lost." Urd had not reconciled and knocked on the chessboard. She knew they had been defeated.

  "It's too bad that we have run out of time." Verdandi sighed. If there was no time limit, she thought that they could strive for a draw.

  The computing power of Cyber Elf Alpha was too strong!

  "Whoa! It's really a crushing defeat!" The younger sister, Skuld looked at the chessboard with her eyes opened wide. Although they were defeated before, they didn't face any crushing defeat like this time.

  Even though they could predict the future, they couldn't find any solution, because Alpha's style was far beyond their understanding.

  The newborn cyber god of the Mechanus God's Domain finally proved her strength this time!

  "Well, according to the routine, let's predict."

  "She deserves us to predict for her."

  "I want to know what her future is."

  No matter whether it was in the real world or on
the Starry Sky Chessboard, once they lost, they would predict for their opponents, observing their fates in the endless god's domains.

  "She was born in an ancient ruin, she is a child that had been abandoned by the era."

  "She will become the king above all kings, defeat all the glories from the old time and put on the crown with a star mark."

  "She is the brightest new star in this era, she will become an immortal legend."

  Undoubtedly, it was their prediction for Cyber Elf Alpha, and their affirmation to her power.

  The three goddesses had seen a new star rising in the endless god's domains.

  She stood for a brand new road, a huge revolution.

  The Starry Sky Chessboard was the first place she announced her coming!

  "Will she become our enemy?" Urd looked at Skuld. In fact, amongst the three sisters, only the younger sister, Skuld could see the future.

  No, it wasn't an accurate prediction like Ouroboros's Divine, but a vague trend. They could only judge if one was their "enemy" or "friend", if they were lucky, they could catch a slice of the scene of the future.

  "If possible, I don't want to be her enemy. It'd better if we can be friends." Verdandi looked at Skuld with a gentle look, waiting for her answer.

  "Cyber Elf Alpha, prediction, trend..." Skuld closed her eyes and did her duty.

  "She won't be our enemy."

  Urd let out a sigh of relief. Verdandi smiled.

  "She will be our friend."

  Urd shrugged her shoulders, and Verdandi covered her mouth with joy.

  "She will be our sister..." Skuld felt strange about the future she just saw. Could Cyber Elf Alpha have any relationship with them?

  "Hum?" Urd was surprised. In the entire god's domains, only a few people knew their true identities. How would she become their new sister?

  "Really?" Verdandi was overjoyed. If they could get help from Cyber Elf Alpha, her strong computing power could help them solve a lot of problems.

  Even though they were the God of Wisdom, they would also face a lot of troubles sometimes.

  "She will sleep on the same bed with us..." Skuld suddenly stopped. She blushed and shook her head.

  No, I can't keep predicting!

  The scene I predicted just now is too embarrassing!

  "Oh, doesn't it mean she will become a real sister of us?" Urd imagined the scene that they slept on the same bed with the little Alpha. She was satisfied.

  "Oh, it's really lucky if we can have such a cute new sister!" Verdandi said in a happy tone. They could feel Alpha's aura as a newborn god, so they had vaguely guessed her true identity.

  "Sisters..." Looking at Urd and Verdandi, Skuld wanted to say something, but finally closed her mouth.

  In the scene of future she saw, they hugged together and wore nothing!

  Sister Urd and Sister Verdandi seemed very happy in the scene.

  She and Alpha also looked very joyful in the scene, they hugged each other and their snow-white toes even tangled together.

  How can I tell them this future I saw!

  When Norn conceded, in the Mechanus God's Domain.

  "We win!"

  "It's Alpha's victory!"

  "We made it!"

  No matter whether they were young or old, no matter whether they were goblins, humans or elves, the alchemists and engineers all cheered at this moment.

  At this second, they were the happiest people in the world.

  In the God Crystal, the newborn Cyber god opened her eyes, looking at the world she just knew with curiosity and happiness.

  "Hello, world."

  Chapter 414: Successive Victories

  "Casina!" Orfina's eyes swam in tears, looking at Yun Xi.

  "Casina!" Orfina wagged her tail, looking at Yun Xi.

  "Casina!" Orfina gazed at Yun Xi with a look that even the cruelest man wouldn't turn a cold shoulder to.

  Yun Xi sighed and looked at Orfina, who was looking at him like a puppy who just lost her master. He really didn't know the relationship between the "Ruby Princess" and his teacher Casina!

  What should I say now? Should I comfort her?

  "Whoa, my Casina can't be so strong!" Orfina cried and just let the last golden gravel in the hourglass drop to the bottom.

  She had even prepared the dialogue of proposing after she won! She was just one step away from victory!

  But she lost! She was defeated both on the chessboard and in the world of loving!

  Who can explain this whole thing to me?

  The golden red mythical bird just waved its wings, the fire demon dragon I summoned was burned to ashes. Where was it from?!

  "Well... I'm not Casina..." Yun Xi persisted his claim. After all, he was indeed not Casina.

  "No! I know you are Casina!" Orfina ground her teeth. Orfina clenched her fists. Orfina raised her tail!

  She wouldn't mistake her lover's figure, and smell!

  She even firmly remembered the lengths of Casina's fingers and the widths of Casina's feet, how could she mistake her identity?!

  "..." Yun Xi was speechless while the sweat was pouring down his face.

  Fortunately, when Orfina's time ran out, the Starry Sky Chessboard had automatically judged that she had lost.

  "Casina!"

  "I will defeat you the next time!"

  "I will say it after I win!"

  Realizing that the game was over, Orfina wiped her tears away and announced.

  Yes, this was her stage, her favorite battlefield.

  Casina liked the Battle God's Championship Contest, she liked the Starry Sky Chessboard too.

  Therefore, she planned to propose to Casina after she defeated Casina in the game.

  The entire competition hadn't finished, she still had a chance to meet Casina in this round robin tournament!

  She wouldn't be careless at that time. She would get revenge, she would prove herself!

  Casina, wait for me. I will come back soon!

  After firmly remembering Casina's appearance in her heart, Orfina finally disappeared from the chessboard.

  Yun Xi let out a sigh of relief.

  "I'm really tired." This was the most tiring game Yun Xi had ever played!

  The golden red bird opened its wings on the star map, then turned into countless light points and disappeared.

  Before its figure completely disappeared, it also glanced at Yun Xi with a strange look.

  However, Yun Xi didn't notice it.

  "Something isn't right." Mei'er found the problem behind it.

  When the golden mythical bird was summoned, she felt that the stele of the heavens had the sign of being activated.

  Something just leaked out from the stele of the heavens.

  "I saw nothing! I saw nothing! I saw nothing!" Mei'er sensed a fatal danger.

  Compared to her, the thing leaked out from the stele of the heavens was a real "disaster"!

  Master, what did you put into the stele of the heavens in your past life?!

  When the result of the game between Orfina and Yun Xi was published, a lot of engineers in the Mechanus God's Domain stopped cheering.

  "Orfina was defeated?"

  "Who did it?"

  "A Cloud in the Sky? Who is this newbie? I didn't hear anything about this name before."

  "Record of the game... Black Mage, Orfina... this newbie is strong!"

  "He won't be a problem. Our Alpha is invincible. Resistance is futile!"

  "Hail to our Alpha!"

  In the God Crystal, countless data were flowing through Alpha's pupils. She was observing the record of "A Cloud in the Sky".

  She wouldn't rest too long. Soon after, she would put herself into another game, proving herself on this battlefield of wisdom!

  ...

  Victory! Victory! Victory! Cyber Elf Alpha kept winning!

  42 victories in a row, 43 victories in a row, 44 victories in a row... when most Star Go players had only played 5 turns, she had achieved 60 successive victories, which
only Norn the God of Wisdom had achieved before!

  After Norn the God of Wisdom, the second 6 star points chess player was just born, and this wasn't the end of her victory!

  Compared to her, Yun Xi was leisurely playing with one chess player after another.

  "The level of everyone isn't high..." After observing all the chess players he had met, he found a surprising fact that Orfina was already the strongest chess player. After the game with Orfina, he only met several 4 star points chess player, but none of them had 5 star points.

  Most chess players had only 3 star points and even only 2 star points. Their Star Go Strengths weren't even stronger than Maha Mystery.

  No wonder that Teacher Casina had confidence in me! They are just a group of rookies!

  When Cyber Elf Alpha achieved 60 successive victories, Yun Xi just obtained 2 star points. His rank also ascended into the list of top 100.

  When Yun Xi thought that he could achieve his goal easily, the strongest opponent finally appeared.

  "The God of Wisdom?" Yun Xi looked at the code name of his opponent and the 6 star points above the opponent's head in surprise.

  It's an elite... no, the strongest Star Go player I have ever met!

  Chapter 415: Tengen Again!

  The true identities of Norn the God of Wisdom were the three goddesses and they were observing Yun Xi in the Caduceus.

  After being defeated by Cyber Elf Alpha, they achieved successive victories easily as usual. Till now, their record was 37 victories and 1 failure. Norn was still one of the overlords on the Starry Sky Chessboard.

  "27 victories in a row?" Urd surprisingly looked at this newbie's code name, "A Cloud in the Sky".

  "It's tough, are the newbies this time all very strong?" Verdandi frowned, remembering the two newbies they met before.

  Cyber Elf Alpha's computing power was incredibly strong, and the game with the sacred monk, Maha Mystery also consumed a lot of their energies.

  If only considering computing power, Maha Mystery wasn't inferior to the three goddesses.

  The newbies this time are all monsters!

  "I don't want to be a crow mouth, but sisters, I have a bad feeling this time," Skuld said after she observed the future, which greatly increased Yun Xi's level of danger again.
