The Starry Sky Chessboard: Book 6 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage
Page 9
After putting down the three chess pieces, Yun Xi was surprised for a moment, because he felt three distinct auras from the God of Wisdom.
This was the first time he felt three auras from one person at the same time.
Chapter 419: The Inevitable Conclusion
The first aura was passionate and bold, just like scorching lava. It contained the feeling of tyranny and a trace of dark sense.
The second aura was warm and soft, as intoxicating as the fragrance from the new flowers under the sun.
The third aura was vibrant and curious, it was afraid, but also wanted to get close.
No, they were not just three distinct auras, they were approaching him!
The phenomena reflected onto the chessboard, making the situation on the star map became more chaotic. Yun Xi felt as if Norn's chess pieces had vanished. They all became a part of his chess pieces!
He is strong! No wonder that Norn the God of Wisdom had 6 star points!
Yun Xi was lost in wonder. He started to imagine how strong the 7 star points, 8 star points, and 9 star points chess players were.
However, the Starry Sky Chessboard seemed to have a newbie protection mechanism, otherwise, he wouldn't meet so many 1 star point, 2 star points and 3 star points chess players. If this mechanism still worked, he still stood a chance to obtain 100 victories in a row.
Even if I can't achieve it this time, I will figure it out the next time. Maybe this is what Teacher Casina wanted to teach me. Don't be complacent after winning, don't be discouraged after being defeated. Even though Star Go is just a simple game, I must be serious.
Well, from the situation on the chessboard, I have the upper hand. Tengen is the key. If I didn't put my first chess piece onto tengen, the Mimic Go would be really difficult to deal with.
If I didn't win the game of guessing odd and even, maybe I would’ve lost this time.
"Pa!" Yun Xi thought and put down another chess piece.
"Ah!" Urd shook with an incredible look on her face. Only she herself knew if it was shyness or relief.
"..." Verdandi ground her teeth and lowered her head. She didn't want to let anyone see her emotions this moment.
"Whoa! Evildoer! Villain!" Only Skuld hadn't conceded. She was still trying to resist.
Amongst the three goddesses, she was the most aggressive one with a winning mentality.
Just like newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, she was also afraid of nothing.
Urd gave up resistance. Her eyes blankly stared into the air, letting the wave of pain and joy sweep across her soul.
Verdandi couldn't speak anything, although she still tried to support Skuld, she had no strength to move.
In fact, the truth that she still maintained silence facing the shock in her soul had proved that she had a kind, upright and pure heart.
Silence itself was the last support she could offer her younger sister, Skuld.
"I do not concede! I do not concede! I do not concede!" Although she was crying and her hands uncontrollably put the chess pieces onto the chessboard, she still didn't give up.
Even if the world had been covered by darkness, she still tried to be the last light to protect her sisters.
"Pa!" Yun Xi's 60th chess piece pushed into the souls of the three goddesses, although he himself didn't know it.
"Whoa! Scoundrel! Don't bully my sisters!" Skuld stretched out her hands, trying to stop the evil soul shock.
Unfortunately, in the face of the "ko" of the entire star map, her resistance was negligible.
The result of the war had been doomed from the moment the three goddesses cheated on the chessboard using their abilities.
They could see the threads of fate, they would be tangled by the web made of the threads of fate. It was the rule of the balance of all things.
Skuld's resistance finally failed at the 64th round. The stronger she resisted, the heavier the punishment would become.
On the chessboard, her last move became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Hum?" Yun Xi suddenly realized that he had won.
The chess pieces of Norn the God of Wisdom suddenly collapsed into itself as if an invisible hand just wiped them off from the chessboard.
Yun Xi didn't even form any "ko" such as the Sanctuary of Wind or the Sanctuary of Fire, he had won.
Originally, the God of Wisdom was the strongest opponent he had seen, but he was defeated so quickly and inexplicably.
"I will never play Star Go with this person!" Finally, Urd woke up from the shock in her soul. She pressed the button that stood for conceding.
"..." Verdandi still kept silent, because she was afraid that once she opened her mouth, she would groan uncontrollably.
"We lose! Bad person! He is bullying my sisters! He is our enemy!" Skuld cried.
It was a crushing defeat that was even worse than the game with Cyber Elf Alpha. At the least, Alpha didn't really defeat them. They just ran out of time.
Maybe they didn't just lose the game, but lost more things than could be described by words.
Chapter 420: The Familiar Prophecy
"Did I win?"
Yun Xi looked at the chessboard in surprise.
Suddenly, the God of Wisdom made a fatal mistake on the chessboard. The game was suddenly ended even before he realized it.
I'm lucky. Was it really a mistake? Yun Xi looked up at the God of Wisdom, the only 6 star points chess player he had ever met.
"Let's prophesy for him. I have a bad feeling." Urd struggled. She had to admit that this opponent wasn't inferior to Cyber Elf Alpha.
They lost to Alpha because of her strong, incredible computing power.
However, they didn't know the reason why they were defeated by this person at all. The style of his chess pieces was uncanny!
His chess pieces were like the instantiation of fate itself. As Norns, the Sisters of Fate, they had no resistance to it.
"I agree..." Verdandi whispered. The entire game just now was too weird.
She sensed the smell of fate too.
"I don't want to prophesy for him. It must show the worst result." As the one goddess who could see the future, Skuld vented her spleen.
"Skuld, we can't resist the future, no matter how ridiculous it is."
"Let's begin to prophesy. At least, we can see the probability of the future from it."
"Let's do it."
As their big sister, Urd represented "past", she understood the meaning of future deeper than anyone.
Countless heroes and geniuses failed because of a negligible thing in their lives.
They thought that they were the masters of their fate, but all of them fell in the pool of blood named "fate", only very few people could rein in on the brink of the precipice and avoid the imminent disasters.
If a man wanted to change his fate, he must know what fate was first. The madcap who thought that they were strong enough could never really get rid of their fates. Disappearing in the river of time grudgingly was their doomed fates.
"Skuld..." Verdandi finally recovered. She looked at her younger sister with a gentle look.
"I know! I know! Hum, I can not be reconciled!" Skuld pouted, but she had to admit that her sisters were right.
However, she really had a presentiment about the result of the prophecy.
"She walked in the old desert, coming from the end of the horizon," Urd said.
"Her light will shine on the star river, because she is the invincible god of battle," Verdandi said.
"She will become a god in the future, the seat is waiting for her coming." Skuld said.
This prophecy was different with the prophecy before. It sounded as if it wasn't saying the same person.
"Skuld, say it." Urd and Verdandi realized the problem, and they waited for Skuld's answer after she saw the future.
It was the thread of fate, made by combining all the probabilities from past, present, and future. It was the exclusive prophecy of the Sisters of Fate.
"A Cloud in the Sky... start the prophecy..." Skuld said unwillingly.
"She won't be our enemy."
Listening to this, Urd let out a sigh of relief and Verdandi smiled. At the least, the worst situation wouldn't happen.
"She will be our friend."
Urd and Verdandi were happy about this prophecy, then they froze at the same time.
Why did it sound familiar?
"She will be our sister..." Speaking of this, Skuld was also alarmed and panicky. The entire process sounded similar to the prophecy before.
As it was already their doomed fate.
"Sister?" Urd repeated it incredulously. How could it be?
What is the real identity of "A Cloud in the Sky"? She couldn't be a god!
"Sister?" Verdandi also thought in confusion. She didn't understand it at all.
"She will sleep on the same bed with us, we will..." Skuld paused again.
She froze with a blank, dull countenance.
Why did I see that scene again?
What is that bed? It looks like a gorgeous bed made of golden sands, which is so big that it can let ten people lie on it.
Urd, Verdandi, she, and Cyber Elf Alpha are all on the bed.
Compared to the prophecy before, this time, this scene was clearer. Apart from them, she saw another person, who should be "A Cloud in the Sky". Her brown skin looked similar to Sister Urd's skin, and she had a pair of slender legs.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Wait, where did the sixth person come from?
Can it be...
No! I don't want this hell like future! Why did sisters and I look as if we have already been accustomed to it?
No! It's fake! The prophecy failed! It must point to the wrong future!
I don't want it! I don't want it!
How can I tell sisters it?!
Chapter 421: Approaching
It must be a fake future! It must be an illusion!
There are only five people on the bed made of golden sands. The sixth person never exists!
It will never become true!
Skuld covered her mouth and decided to never tell anyone this terrible future.
She swore that she would do everything to avoid it!
The future she saw wasn't ill-fated, it was just the most likely possibility on the web of fate.
Skuld, you can do it!
You can stop this future from coming true!
In the Mechanus God's Domain, the alchemists and engineers who were cheering for Cyber Elf Alpha's victories saw the newest record from the Starry Sky Chessboard. Suddenly, they froze and fell into silence.
"Norn was defeated?"
"He and Orfina the Ruby Dragon were defeated by the same person?"
"What happened? Who is the newbie?"
"He has almost achieved 30 victories in a row. He will become a new 3 star points Star Go player!"
"Where are the records of the games he played before? We must analyze them!"
Gold will shine everywhere. Even though Yun Xi himself didn't realize what an achievement he had obtained, the alchemists and engineers in the Mechanus God's Domain wouldn't ignore it.
Before Cyber Elf Alpha was born, Norn was the recognized strongest chess player. His Star Go style was the most stable, he had rarely lost to chess players whose rank was below 5 star points.
It was a lifetime achievement to defeat Norn the God of Wisdom on the Starry Sky Chessboard!
He may defeat Orfina due to luck, however, the truth that he defeated Norn had proved her true strength! No matter what the reason behind the thing was, his Star Go strength must be in the list of top 5.
However, such a strong chess player shouldn't be unknown, but the information on "A Cloud in the Sky" showed that he was a total newbie. In the database of Cyber Elf Alpha, only his information was nonexistent.
"Record his games! Build the mathematical models from scratch!"
"Be quick! We don't have much time!"
"Alpha! Recalculate his database model! We need to make as much detail as possible on this newbie."
In the God Crystal, the newborn cyber god looked around with curiosity. As the engineers were busy imputing the record of Yun Xi's games, a great amount of flowing data appeared in her beautiful pupils, all information about "A Cloud in the Sky" was scrapped and started all over again.
For the first time, Alpha felt curious about an opponent who she hadn't met.
She felt interested in him, she wanted to know how he defeated Norn the God of Wisdom.
Even though her computing power was hundreds of times stronger than Norn's, she tried her best but could only defeat Norn by depleting Norn's time.
If Norn had the equal computing power, Cyber Elf Alpha thought that her winning rate wouldn't be higher than 50%.
Build and calculate a special mathematical model.
Code name: "Cloud".
At the same time, Cyber Elf Alpha met her 47th opponent, whose threat level was only slightly inferior to Norn in her database.
Orfina the Ruby Dragon.
"Cyber Elf Alpha... she has 6 star points! Wait, she defeated Norn the God of Wisdom?" Orfina was really surprised.
Apart from Norn the God of Wisdom, a new 6 star points chess player was just born. It was really an incredible achievement.
Orfina always felt a headache when facing Norn the God of Wisdom. Originally, Norn was weaker than her, but he could always withstand her fierce attacks and reverse the situation on the chessboard at the last moment.
"Confirm the target, Orfina the Ruby Dragon." Cyber Elf Alpha looked at her opponent with expectations in her eyes.
Her core program was built referring to the styles of the two strongest chess players, Norn and Orfina. Half of her Star Go style was learned from Norn and Orfina.
Learning the advantages of all chess players and increasing her computing power infinitely by using the planet computers, this was the secret of her incredible Star Go strength.
In some sense, Orfina the Ruby Dragon was her teacher. She could also perform Orfina's Star Go style. Actually, she could reproduce all the Star Go styles she had recorded in her database as long as she needed to use them. She was the culmination of all the advantages of all Star Go players.
This was her, the powerful cyber god.
"Tengen!" Just like Norn the God of Wisdom, Orfina couldn't help but exclaim when she saw Alpha's first move.
Why is it tengen? Why is tengen again?
Why are you using the same style as my Casina?
Come clean, do you have any relationship with my Casina?
Chapter 422: Code Name Cloud
Looking at the same tengen, Orfina couldn't help but make blind and disorderly conjectures.
"Tengen..." From the record which was just inputted into her database, Cyber Elf Alpha also noticed Yun Xi's Star Go style.
Amongst all the chess players, only she and "A Cloud in the Sky" were putting their first chess piece onto tengen, and they were the only two people who hadn't been defeated by anyone.
After the game started, the chess players wouldn't have any time to take a breath. At most, they could only catch their breaths in their opponents round.
However, Cyber Elf Alpha didn't need to worry about this, because she was a cyber god!
Her computing power was from the Planet Quadrant Computers in the Mechanus God's Domain, every second and every minute, they would consume countless resources at an astronomical level.
It was her fixed route to put the first chess piece onto tengen, it was her method of pursuing stability.
Tengen was the core of the star map, as long as she could occupy this point, any disadvantage would only be temporary. This was the optimum strategy she found after calculating hundreds of millions of times.
Although she didn't have the same instinct about stars like Yun Xi, she still figured out the best solution, and only her terrible computing power could let her control the situation around tengen
from the beginning of the game.
"I will put my first chess piece onto tengen the next time!" Orfina ground her teeth.
She tried putting her first chess piece onto tengen before, however, she couldn't withstand the amazing requirement of computing power. She had to give up and started to learn the formalized series of moves on the chessboard to reduce the computational cost.
Now, she started to rethink this move again. Maybe it was really a workable strategy.
She was defeated by Norn's formalized series of moves many times, so she spent a lot of time studying the formalized series of moves of Star Go. She thought that she may be going in the wrong direction.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
Orfina immediately started her fierce attacks. As usual, no matter who her opponent was, she wouldn't give up her style.
It was a persistence and faith. She didn't mind being defeated, however, she would never be a coward in the face of anyone, even though it was an opponent who defeated Norn the God of Wisdom before!
For victory!
"Commencing attack!" In the face of Orfina's fierce attacks, Cyber Elf Alpha chose to strike back!
"Good! That's right!" To Orfina, she really enjoyed this will.
Although, she already had realized that she had no chance of winning this game.
However, the fact of "using my strongest attack to fight against the strong opponent who even defeated Norn the God of Wisdom before" was a most pleasant thing!
Only the strongest could survive! This was the most desirable game Orfina was eager for!
The Sanctuary of Fire is completed!
A huge fire demon dragon appeared behind Orfina and roared toward the sky, as if it was airing its grievances.
At the same time, Cyber Elf Alpha also summoned her fire demons dragons. Two fire demon dragons appeared in Alpha's Sanctuary of Fire!
Arguably, the winner has already been determined.
Fierce storms of fire swept through the entire star map, three fire demon dragons roared and bit each other. Although Orfina had only one dragon and Alpha had two dragons, Orfina's dragon was crazier and stronger!
