  After the 10 rounds, Cyber Elf Alpha first stopped playing and started self-checking.

  In the Mechanus God's Domain, engineers held their breaths, looking at their god slowly opening her eyes.

  "Five minutes... update all data sets... build a new folder specifically for the game style around tengen..." An emotion named "seriousness" was burned inside this newborn god's crystal-like clear eyes.

  At that moment, all people felt a special aura, just like the wind sweeping through a tower heralds a rising storm in the mountains!

  Chapter 429: God Match (3)

  "Hum? She stopped?" Yun Xi was slightly surprised looking at his opponent.

  The game of Star Go just became interesting! For the first time, he met a chess player who also put her first chess piece onto tengen, it was a quite fresh feeling to him.

  He wasn't the only person who had found the secret of tengen!

  Indeed, he was just a newbie and he could find it. There was no way that a 7 star points chess player didn't know it.

  Compared to his style, the 7 star points chess player's style was aggressive, she attacked him on the chessboard from the beginning. No wonder that she was the strongest chess player he had ever met!

  Apparently, she was far stronger than the 5 star points "Ruby Princess" and the 6 star points "God of Wisdom".

  Judging from this, the gap between 6 star points and 7 star points was really wide. Maybe it was as wide as the gap between the strongest hero rank, the sixth rank and the star point of the legend rank, the seventh rank.

  Taking her as a reference, the 8 star points and 9 star points chess players must be incredibly strong!

  I'm just a newbie, why did I meet a 7 star points chess player so early? Did the newbie protection mechanism just lose efficacy?

  In the Mechanus God's Domain.

  In the God Crystal, for the first time, Alpha didn't ask for more computing power.

  "The formalized series of moves in my database lost efficacy."

  "I need new programs and new computational models."

  "Clear the database, I need to recalculate from zero!"

  Engineers looked at each other with a look of panic.

  Their Alpha didn't ask for more computing power this time.

  It was really a fresh experience for them.

  It was just like a little girl who suddenly didn't want more candies but wanted a rose. They suddenly felt that their daughter just "grew up".

  Yes, it wasn't just their imagination. Cyber Elf Alpha's power was indeed increasing on the battlefield on the Starry Sky Chessboard.

  It wasn't just a simple increase of her computing power.

  From the game with Black Mage, Alpha understood the advantage of meddling with the situation on the chessboard.

  Since the game with Norn the God of Wisdom, Alpha understood the perspective of "overall situation".

  And the game with Orfina the Ruby Dragon, Alpha started to try to use the "purest power".

  More or less, she learned a lot of things from each chess player, which was becoming a great benefit to the newborn god.

  Until Yun Xi appeared.

  After 10 rounds, Alpha quickly noticed that the "unknown" which didn't exist in her database appeared.

  His style was as naive as any other newbies, however, he actually defeated Black Mage, Orfina and Norn.

  Even Alpha's program judged that there was a big fallacy and logical error. Until their game started, she finally experienced the mystery of Yun Xi's style personally.

  It wasn't recorded in any chess manual. If one judged his moves using common sense, no one would understand the reason behind his victories.

  She was almost cheated by his naive style of Star Go, until the 10th round, an error appeared in her logical loop and activated her automatic measurement system.

  He isn't a newbie. He is a brand new "unknown" field!

  The alchemists and engineers of the Mechanus God's Domain wouldn't refuse any of Alpha's requirements.

  "Clear all the old data! Change the mathematical models!"

  "Be quick, we have only 5 minutes!"

  "What's wrong with this opponent? Why could he activate the logical errors in Alpha's programs?"

  "Upgrade the programs! 10% is done!"

  Collecting all the manpower, material and financial resources in the entire Mechanus God's Domain, they finally fulfilled Alpha's requirement within the 5 minutes.

  After calculating using the newly built mathematical model, Cyber Elf Alpha figured out a new result.

  "My winning probability... is only 31%..."

  "Draw probability... is zero..."

  "The probability of being... is 69%..."

  When they were output onto the screen, all the engineers and alchemists forgot to breathe.

  "What... how can that be possible?" The elves exclaimed. As Alpha's creators, they never imagined that Alpha's winning probability was so low.

  The computing power of "A Cloud in the Sky" was even less than 1% of Alpha's computing power, how could he achieve this within 10 rounds?

  "Impossible!"

  "The game just started!"

  "I must be dreaming!"

  "No, we still have a chance. We can reverse the situation!"

  "Alpha, increase your computing power! We don't have much time."

  Before Alpha said anything, the engineers and alchemists had lost their temper. They proactively applied for more computing power for Alpha.

  Save resource? Optimize computation structure? Reduce energy consumption? It's not the time to be thinking about these!

  Our Alpha won't lose!

  How can our Alpha be stopped at this point by a newbie?!

  "Understand... keep increasing my computing power..." As a cyber god whose life was to respond to the wish of the living beings in the Mechanus God's Domain, Alpha clearly felt the enthusiasm in the hearts of the engineers.

  They were her people. Their will was her will.

  I, Alpha, won't lose.

  No matter who the opponent is, I won't lose!

  The battle just started.

  I still have a lot of power that can be put into this battle!

  Chapter 430: God Match (4)

  In the Mechanus God's Domain, in the secret starfield which was named using Alpha's name, in the holy land that stood for the future of the entire Mechanus God's Domain.

  Countless engineers and alchemists were working just for Alpha, just like the worker bees who were servicing their queen.

  "Launch the 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd Planet Quadrant Computers!"

  "Preheat the engines of the Planet Computers from the 24th through the 30th!"

  "Activate all satellites, listen, I'm saying 'all satellites'!"

  "Awaken all alternate engine sets!"

  "Strengthen Alpha's programs, we must prepare for more optimization programs for our Alpha!"

  Countless macroscopic light flows flowed at great speed on the planet where Alpha was born, they were the data sets transmitted back to the God Crystal from the Planet Computers nearby.

  More Planet Computers were being booted and connected to Alpha's quantum network.

  Over 1/3 of the super-quantum network specifically made for Alpha had been activated.

  After 10 rounds, Alpha was already forced to use 1/3 of her power. The energies and cool liquids the Planet Computers were consuming were beyond any normal person's imagination.

  Code name: Cloud.

  Updating the information...

  Current winning probability: 37%.

  Draw probability: 1%.

  Loss probability: 62%.

  Judgement: infeasible. All moves around tengen should be avoided.

  Data deficient, unable to calculate the opponent's style of play.

  Warning! Warning! Modify the tactic as soon as possible!

  "I must... modify the tactic... I must... reverse the situation..."

  "Failure to calculate the style of this opponent..."


  "Avoid playing around tengen..."

  In the God Crystal, the newborn god pressed her forehead and sent orders to her avatar in the Starry Sky Chessboard.

  Alpha finally changed her style to "Sea of Chaos", which was invented by Black Mage.

  Black Mage's tactic was a rare genre that could be used by the weak to overcome the strong. Apart from Norn, almost all Star Go players were defeated by his "Sea of Chaos" before.

  Also, "Sea of Chaos" required a high computing power from the player.

  "Sea of Chaos" was used to muddle the situation on the chessboard, then Black Mage could form his "Black Death Hexagram" to defeat his opponent.

  After learning from Black Mage, Cyber Elf Alpha's "Sea of Chaos" was much stronger than Black Mage's. With her terrible computing power that was a thousand times stronger than any legend ranked being, even Norn the God of Wisdom couldn't predict her moves after 5 rounds.

  Therefore, Alpha determinedly left the battlefield around tengen, putting her 11th chess piece onto one of the corners.

  For the first time, she gave up the battlefield on the chessboard, opening up the second battlefield.

  In some sense, it was also the first frustration Alpha had ever met. She was forced to look for "change".

  It was destined to be a distinctive duel.

  For the first time, she met a real "opponent".

  For the first time, she realized that there were still bugs in her programs.

  Even her creators wouldn't know what this duel meant to Alpha.

  There were too many "first times" she had experienced in this game, the newborn god had firmly remembered this special opponent in her program kernel.

  Who is the person hiding behind the code name "A Cloud in the Sky"?

  Why could he force me to this degree?

  With curiosity, nervousness, and unshakeable will, Cyber Elf Alpha experienced a brand new emotion named "excitement".

  I need more computing power, I need stronger computing formulas.

  My people, please lend me more power! Please trust me!

  The newborn god hadn't realized what the impulse, pleasure, and excitement were.

  She only knew that she started to love this battlefield, love this stage that was making her Planet Computers become hotter.

  Thank you, everyone. Thank you for letting me come here.

  I come.

  I see.

  I win!

  "Hum? Did she change her tactic?" Yun Xi looked at the chessboard in surprise.

  Did she notice something? Looking at the changes on the chessboard, Yun Xi admitted that he was indeed taking the upper hand currently.

  If they kept playing around tengen, it was still hard to affirm who would be the final winner.

  She was the strongest Star Go player he had met, since she did this option, maybe she just found a chance he didn't realize.

  Staring at the chessboard for a minute, Yun Xi chose to respond to her challenge.

  It doesn't matter if you chose to open a second or even a third battlefield.

  Let's have a good play.

  At any rate, I'm just a newbie. Even if I lost, it wouldn't cause the end of the world, would it?

  Chapter 431: God Match (5)

  "Confirm that he chose to enter the second battlefield."

  "Code name, Sea of Chaos, start!"

  Cyber Elf Alpha stared at the chessboard and her metallic antennas tightly locked on Yun Xi.

  For the first time, she was down in the game.

  His moves weren't a formalized series of moves, but were far stronger than any formalized series of moves. These moves didn't exist in Alpha's databases.

  It also proved one thing that even though her computing power was 1000 times stronger than any legend ranked being, she wasn't still "omniscient".

  The changes on the Starry Sky Chessboard was far more complicated than the computing power limit of the legend rank, even Alpha's computing power wasn't sufficient to let her take over the situation.

  After all, her battle power didn't only base on her computing power, but also based on her database.

  She had all the data on any chess player, and knew over ten thousand mathematical models.

  However, they were useless in the face of Yun Xi, because none of the data could be used to build Yun Xi's model of style.

  He played like a newbie, but he wasn't a newbie at all! She failed to calculate and predict any of his moves.

  Therefore, she chose to leave the battlefield around tengen and opened a second battlefield.

  Draw on the advantages and avoid disadvantages, as long as the tactics could help her win, she would choose them without hesitation.

  She changed her style and decided to force her opponent to match his computing power with her, this was her new tactic.

  In some sense, they both weren't the people that would be bound by rules.

  The difference was that Alpha's style was building on her computing power and Yun Xi's style was building on his instinct.

  "Pa!"

  "Pa!"

  "Pa!"

  "Pa!"

  They played around the corner. Quickly, The Sea of Chaos formed as Alpha expected.

  "Code name, Sea of Chaos, succeeded."

  "Current winning probability: 43%. Draw probability: 5%. Loss probability: 52. The tactic is effective!"

  When she confirmed that her tactic was actually working, both of Alpha's avatar and her true body felt excited.

  "Yeah! The winning probability is raising!"

  "It almost scared me to death! I never expected that anyone would be able to force Alpha to that degree!"

  "Hum, it seems that he is good at playing around tengen. If we mastered his information early, we wouldn't compete with him around tengen, but started from the corners."

  "Keep increasing the number of the Planet Computers! Launch the 36th Planet Quadrant Computer!"

  Looking at the increasing winning probability, the alchemists and engineers were even a hundred times more excited than Alpha!

  Finally, they reversed the situation.

  Humph, when it comes to the competition of computing power, no one will be match for our Alpha!

  "Hum? Her new style..." Yun Xi suddenly felt that the style of "Cyber Elf Alpha" became familiar.

  Yes, it is the same style as Black Mage!

  The difference was that Black Mage would also make a few mistakes on the chessboard, but Alpha wouldn't make any mistake. It was another proof of the wide gap between 5 star points and 7 star points.

  Of course, it had nothing to do with Yun Xi.

  He didn't expect to defeat his opponents by finding their mistakes from the beginning. He just put down his chess pieces following the orbits of stars.

  In the eyes of everyone, including Cyber Eld Alpha, the Starry Sky Chessboard was a mysterious world that was difficult to be calculated.

  However, in Yun Xi's eyes, the orbits of stars were close enough to touch.

  Every time he put down his chess piece, he could hear the sounds of the stars.

  They were praises and gratifications, they were the blessings for the child of stars.

  The chess pieces on the chessboard were like spirits that were dancing on his hands, shouted and jumped for joy as his fingers moved.

  Yun Xi could clearly see the influence Alpha's chess pieces would bring onto the chessboard, because it was an answer that the star map was telling him.

  In some sense, the Starry Sky Chessboard was no difference than the real starry sky.

  If this was an examination, Alpha's examination questions were a great number of complicated computations that could give any legend ranked player a headache.

  And Yun Xi's examination questions were as simple as below:

  4+2=?

  5+4=?

  Yun Xi filled in the perfect answer with pleasure.

  "69!"

  Chapter 432: God Match (6)

  "Cyber Elf Alpha" vs "A Cloud in the Sky".

&
nbsp; The 48th round.

  For a moment, Alpha thought that she had seen the dawn of victory.

  She successfully accomplished the first three processes of the "Sea of Chaos Plan", and was going to strike a deadly blow to the opponent that was already trapped.

  Until the 47th round, when she was going to detonate the trap, she suddenly found that it was just a delusion!

  After powering on over 1/2 of her Planet Quadrant Computers, Cyber Elf Alpha confirmed that her winning probability had been raised to 50%.

  Code name: Cloud.

  State: the plan of Sea of Chaos has entered the third phase. There are still 36 rounds before I can activate the ultimate trap.

  Current winning probability: 53%.

  Draw probability: 1%.

  Lose probability: 48%.

  Nearly 50% of Alpha's Planet Quadrant Computers were running, increasing her computing power to a brand new phase.

  It wasn't an easy work to coordinate amongst hundreds of Planet Computers. Before this game started, the limit test of the entire system only ran 30% of the Planet Computers at the same time.

  Before Alpha totally woke up, 30% was the limit of scientific theory.

  At this time, over 50 sets of Planet Computers were running at the same time!

  The computing power Alpha was using now was already 3 times more than when she played with Norn the God of Wisdom, and 1000 times more than any common legend ranked being!

  Finally, my winning probability is over 50%. Cyber Elf Alpha let out a sigh of relief. Although she still didn't understand how he could still resist her attack at this time, since her computing power was already 1000 times more than the standard.

  His computing power couldn't be above the average of the legend rank, because Alpha still didn't find anything special from his moves on the chessboard. He was 100 percent newbie.

  However, Alpha finally noticed a thing, which no one found before.

  Yes, his moves on the chessboard were random, and looked meaningless sometimes.

  However, he didn't make any mistake till now. Maybe his moves weren't perfect, but none of them were wrong!

  After comparing his style with all the styles in her database, Alpha finally found this incredible truth.
