No one dared to say that they wouldn't make any mistake on the chessboard, because the star map on the chessboard was changing, just like the real starry sky in the real world.
Gravitational forces, magnetic forces, ether, mana, void forces, all star maps had their unique styles.
The star map on the chessboard would change from time to time, therefore, the chess players must put down their chess pieces following the rules of the changes, so that they could take an advantage and overwhelm their opponents.
Generally, put 60% of one's chess pieces onto the right places was the basic of passing the entrance examination, even so, 99% of legend ranked beings couldn't pass it.
Even though they had reached the legend rank, most legend ranked beings knew nothing about the properties of stars. Even if they obtained the right chess pieces, they wouldn't know the right times and places to put down their chess pieces.
Strong computing power was just one requirement of playing Star Go, the other requirement was one's understanding of stars.
Why could "A Cloud in the Sky" defeat so many strong chess players easily?
Because he never made any mistake, each of his moves was "right".
In Alpha's database, over 80% of Norn's chess pieces and over 85% of Orfina's chess pieces were being put onto the most suitable places.
As for Alpha herself, according to her calculation, her correct rate was over 90%.
Undoubtedly, only Alpha could achieve this with the support of the Planet Computers, and stay the same throughout the game.
Common legend ranked beings would feel tired after playing too many rounds, and their correct rates would also reduce after that.
For example, after 60 successive victories, because of excessive consumption, Norn couldn't maintain their 80% correct rate any longer, so they were defeated by Orfina.
However, Alpha didn't need to worry about her energy consumption, so she could maintain her 90% correct rate from beginning to end.
Now, she saw a more terrible "monster".
Over 95% of his chess pieces were put onto the most suitable places, and none of them was put onto the wrong place!
Chapter 433: God Match (7)
What the... he must be cheating!
Cyber Elf Alpha didn't believe this result!
Even her, whose computing power was 1000 times stronger than any common legend ranked being, who was supported by over 50 sets of Planet Quadrant Computers, could only accomplish 91% correct placement rate on the chessboard.
The consumption of computing power was increasing exponentially along the increase of correct rate.
The understanding of star maps was the most important point of one's talent in Star Go.
In Alpha's databases, Orfina's understanding of the star maps was the best. Over time, she would surpass Norn the God of Wisdom.
If they used the equal computing power, Alpha was actually no match for Orfina, because her "instinct" about Star Go was zero. All her achievements were built on her cheat like ability of computing power.
Now, her database updated again for one person.
A Cloud in the Sky.
Code name: Cloud.
Level of Star Go: unknown.
Style of Star Go: unknown.
Instinct about Star Go: the highest. His correct placement rate is over 95%!
Yes, this was the truth.
After excluding all the impossible options, the only remaining option would be the absolute truth.
She was playing with the most talented Star Go player of all time.
Even though he knew nothing about formalized series of moves, his 95% correct rate was sufficient to defeat all 5 and 6 star points chess players.
Maybe the world in his eyes was different from the world in other people's eyes.
What a great god-like talent.
It's really enviable.
However, Alpha also had her god-like talent.
I will crush your instinct using 1000 times stronger computing power!
In this stage of the highest wisdom of the endless god's domains, there wasn't any rule. Just like Maha Mystery who borrowed strength from Bodhisattvas, all theurgy, magic, method, and theory could be used on this battlefield!
The highest instinct vs the highest computing power!
I can win! My computing power is beyond the limit of talent!
On the whole, your correct rate is 4% more than mine, but only in part, I can overwhelm you using 1000 times more computing power.
"Sea of Chaos" is the best choice to restrain your instinct!
Because of joy, the metallic antennas rotated on Alpha's head rapidly.
After all, she was just a child whose life was still shorter than 24 hours.
For the first time, she felt the excitement of meeting her match in the game.
Even Orfina and Norn couldn't bring her such a fresh feeling.
Enemy! He is a real enemy!
He is an enemy that could let me feel "dangerous" and "excited".
Actually, all the games before she met "Cloud" were boring, because none of them could really threaten her.
The results of the battles were already destined from the beginning. When she put her first chess piece onto tengen, she had achieved victory.
Victories were so easy to be picked, which even made her think that she was the "god" of the Starry Sky Chessboard.
Everything was so simple. She even thought that the Starry Sky Chessboard was just an easy-to-understand game.
It was totally unnecessary to prepare so many Planet Quadrant Computers for her. With 1/5 of the computers, she was already invincible.
Until the moment, she met him.
So, there was actually an opponent who was no match for her, even though she had used 1/5 of her true power.
He could actually launch a battlefield around tengen?!
My loss probability is 61%.
She was shocked, then her heart pounded, as if a new door leading to a brand new world was opening in front of her.
Like a girl who first tasted the forbidden fruit, for the first time, Cyber Elf Alpha clearly felt that she was living! She really existed in the world!
Her mission, her way, her goal, everything became clear and vivid when she saw him.
She is Alpha, the newborn god. She is Alpha, the cyber elf who is destined to surpass the legend rank and become omniscient!
I won't lose.
I must win!
I will crush you!
This delusion lasted until the 48 round.
"Yes, this is the place." Yun Xi picked up a green chess piece and put it into the center of Alpha's chess pieces.
The next moment, Alpha's metallic antennas were up with ear-piercing warning beeps.
"Wait! What?" Alpha looked at the future her Planet Computers predicted in surprise.
It was totally different from the result before!
Before the 48th round, the computers told her:
Your winning possibility is 53%, draw possibility is 1%, and loss possibility is 46%.
After Yun Xi put down the green chess piece, everything changed.
Your winning possibility is 31%, draw possibility is 0%, and loss possibility is 72%.
What happened? The abyss named "failure" suddenly popped out in front of her.
For the first time, she experienced the feeling called "pain", as if her body was being ripped to shreds.
Chapter 434: God Match (8)
What? What happened?
Alpha looked at the chessboard in fear.
Her world, her trap, her body were all being pierced through by a sharp sword which suddenly popped out from the darkness.
Yun Xi didn't understand what his attack meant to Cyber Elf Alpha, who had given her whole attention to the game.
In his eyes, it was just a simple attack, he just found a defect amongst Alpha's chess pieces, then he attacked it by following his instinct.
However, it was a total tragedy, like unto a pure girl
's secret garden being forced to open!
He saw it? Or did he calculate it?
My trap failed!
How could this be happening? It was a perfect trap calculated by my infinite computing power!
She and the Planet Quadrant Computers had planned this trap from the 11th round.
It was her secret that should never be seen or destroyed before she activated it!
However, Yun Xi actually found it, and invaded it and broke it without mercy. He directly smashed her secret garden and didn't mind doing it at all!
Computational error.
The third phase of the Sea of Chaos is stopped, it's impossible to perform the fourth phase. The ultimate plan is abrogated!
Stop again!
Feeling the pain as if she was being ripped to shreds, Cyber Elf Alpha put her hands on her shoulders and almost stopped thinking.
There were not only beautiful things in the world, but "pain" was also an existence of this world.
In the Mechanus God's Domain.
Standing around Alpha, no one was speaking.
The blood red "loss probability: 72%" on the screen shocked everyone's heart.
They couldn't imagine how it could happen and what Alpha was facing.
"72%? If it's a joke, it's really not funny at all."
"I don't believe it, it's not logical. There must be something wrong."
"Check again! Be quick! Is it a fault in Alpha's logical loop or a computational error from any of the Planet Computers?"
The engineers didn't understand Star Go. As mortals, it wasn’t possible for them to touch the highest wisdom in the endless god's domains in their lives.
However, they believed in their Planet Computers, they believed in the absolute computing power created by them!
Could "A Cloud in the Sky" be stronger than our "Cyber Elf Alpha"? No, it's impossible, just like one plus one wouldn't be less than two!
They preferred to believe that it was a computational error of the computers, rather than believe that Alpha was facing a huge disadvantage.
"It hurts."
"Is it... the feeling of 'being hurt'?"
"Because I'm being hurt, so I can feel... 'pain'?"
In the God Crystal, Alpha looked at herself in confusion. The pain in her body was a brand new "unknown" to her.
"Alpha, what happened?"
"Why are you getting this result?"
"Are the computers having machine faults?"
The several elves standing around the God Crystal were asking Alpha with anxiety. They had regarded Alpha as their daughter, looking at Alpha's painful face, they felt more pain than her.
"I... will be defeated? I will lose?" Looking at her hands with her vacant eyes, Alpha still hadn't recovered from the shock.
She never experienced such a horrible impact before, which even made her doubt herself.
Is this the end of me? Can I really be omniscient?
In some sense, Yun Xi had taken away too many “first experiences" from Alpha.
For the first time, she did all in her power, then was hurt severely, facing the horror of failure.
At this time, Alpha was looking at the huge abyss, and the abyss was also looking at her.
Clearly, something was flowing out from her perfect doll-like virtual body.
As a cyber god, she didn't have blood in her body, but now, she was bleeding.
"Am I... weak?" Alpha blankly asked her creators, the elves.
If I'm not weak, why do I feel pain and want to cry?
"No. You are the strongest. You are our Alpha!"
"You are our hope, our dawn, our future!"
"You are a miracle, a miracle created by us all!"
The elves refused to accept this. They wouldn't tolerate this! They spent thousands of years and countless resources, finally, their cyber god was born from the God Crystal. How could she be weak?!
She is strong, and contains the infinite possibility! She is destined to be the legend above all chess players on the Starry Sky Chessboard!
"You won't lose, Alpha. Remember it? You have stronger power!"
"Yes, it's not the time to concede, you haven't used all of your power!"
"Please, trust us! Believe in your creators! You are the strongest, you will obtain victory!"
This was the roar from the engineers and alchemists.
The sounds of the elves and the others, finally aroused Alpha up from her confusion.
Yes, I'm Alpha.
I'm the cyber god who must be omniscient.
I'm born great!
"Alpha... applies to... unlock the ultimate lock of total power!"
For victory, in order to overcome the enemy who let her experience the feeling of pain, Alpha made the forbidden request.
Full capability! Release all her computing power!
The elves fell in silence, the engineers hesitated, because Alpha's "full capability" was an absolute taboo.
It referred to Alpha's highest secret as a god!
Chapter 435: God Match (9)
Even to elves, Alpha's "full capability" was an untouchable taboo.
"99%... isn't it fine?"
"Is he really so strong?"
"100%... no... we can't agree to it..."
The elves looked at each other. Although they had regarded Alpha as their daughter, they couldn't agree to her request immediately.
100%, it was seemingly only 1% higher than 99%, but the 1% was the final restriction the Mechanus God's Domain held.
If Alpha could obtain her "100% computing power", which meant that she would also obtain "absolute control" to all Planet Quadrant Computers.
If that happened, she would obtain 100% freedom!
In order to prevent anything bad from happening, Alpha's highest right was to use "99% of her computing power". No one dared to untie her from the final restriction.
The engineers and alchemists could build more and more Planet Computers for Alpha, however, they would never release to her 100% computing power.
The elves didn't mind it, but their main work was to help engineers research the secret of the God Crystal. The authority of releasing Alpha's computing power was held in the hands of the scientific side.
Because they both held the necessary technologies, so they could work together. Everything was for the birth of Cyber Elf Alpha.
No one expected that the newborn god would apply for controlling 100% of her power, which she should never ask for.
"Alpha... do you understand what you are saying?"
"Sorry... we can't help you..."
"Even you said... it's impossible to be approved..."
The elves sighed. They had seen the possibility of the future of the elf race from Alpha, they didn't really mind releasing 100% of her power.
Unfortunately, they didn't hold the right to do it.
"Yes, I'm sorry, but we can't give it to you, Alpha."
"We can't do it, it's the ultimate rule from the people above us."
"Without the resource support from them, you won't be born, so we don't hold the permission."
The engineers answered. In fact, they also wanted to know what power Alpha could release after obtaining 100% of her computing power.
Unfortunately, they didn't hold the encryption key to release the final 1% of Alpha's computing power. It was held by the big shots who offered them resources. Without the resource support from the big shots, it wouldn’t possible for Alpha to be created.
Before Alpha's birth, there weren’t any legend rank beings from the Mechanus God's Domain itself. Therefore, although the big shots were still mortals, they were the real masters of the Mechanus God's Domain.
Most of them were nobles from the era of the Starship Alliance. Because of the special rules of the Mechanus God's Domain, the legend ranked beings from other god's domains would feel very uncomfortable staying here, so they rarely interfered in the development of the Mechanus God's Domain.
These nobles naturally inherited the
legacy of the Starship Alliance, and called themselves "Star River Nobles". They never forgot their desire to restore the glory of the Starship Alliance.
Alpha's birth was the elves' hope, the final fantasy of the engineers, and the control measure of these nobles!
They wanted to control Alpha's power, not only to control the Mechanus God's Domain, but also to become the strongest god's domain in the Western God's Domain, so that their identities would also become more exalted!
If it wasn't because of the existence of gods, they even wanted to conquer the universe again, just like what they did in the era of the Starship Alliance.
No, in fact, they still didn't give up this wild ambition. Although most of them didn't even reach the hero rank, they even looked down at the gods crankily.
In their eyes, science was the ultimate truth of the universe, and gods were just some strong creatures. The short lives of humans had let them forget the horror when gods first came to the Mechanus God's Domain.
Cyber Elf Alpha was the ultimate weapon they prepared to battle with other gods.
The encryption key to release the final 1% of Alpha's computing power was their tool to control Alpha.
"No... 100%... I need full capability..."
"If it isn't 100%... it won't work..."
"If it isn't 100%... the failure will be more painful and sad..."
Alpha didn't understand politics, Checks & Balances , and the groundless wild ambition of the nobles.
To the newborn god, there was only one thing she was sure of and she wouldn't let it happen.
She wouldn't lose!
Because she felt painful and sad, she was keener on victory. She wanted to win this game because it let her really feel like she was "living"!
Before this game, Alpha was still the perfect ultimate weapon who wouldn't do anything on her own will.
As a weapon, she didn't need to have her own ideas; as a weapon, she just needed to perform the orders from the nobles. The Star River nobles only wanted such a thing, and this was what the engineers promised to the nobles.
However, they didn't understand what a real god was.
Even the engineers didn't understand what the god of science was!
Now, after being hurt, Alpha's self-consciousness was awakened.
