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

by Fat Bread

  Gender won't be a problem.

  Race won't be a problem.

  As long as we love each other, it's enough!

  Casina and I can pass through all tests and couple up happily!

  We can drink and chat, and do this thing and that thing every day. This was heaven in Orfina's heart.

  Now, she was only 6 rounds away from heaven.

  In fact, Casina was still too naive in Orfina's heart. Her Star Go Strength was just at the beginner level. When she put her first chess piece onto tengen, her failure was already doomed.

  "Well... it's easy to understand." Yun Xi glanced at the chessboard again, making sure that he didn't make any mistake.

  "Pa!"

  "Pa!"

  "Pa!"

  "Pa!"

  "Pa!"

  Every sound of putting down the chess pieces was the sweet countdown leading to heaven.

  The fifth round from the end of the game, the figure of Rathalos had vaguely appeared. The fierce dragon was going to wake up.

  The fourth round from the end of the game, hum? Something isn't right. But it doesn't matter, my victory is already mine.

  The third round from the end of the game, victory is close at hand.

  Orfina started to prepare the words she would say after a while.

  "I love you. We must’ve been lovers in our past lives, so we can meet each other in this life."

  "You and your Sands of Time are the forever colors in my mind."

  "You are the brightest star in the Battle God's Championship Contest, and I will pick off the crown of the Starry Sky Chessboard, presenting it to you."

  "In my eyes, you are so bright and beautiful today. My honey, my gem, you are my unique flower in the world."

  The second round from the end of the game, Orfina put down the chess piece which stood for her hope and future.

  "Casina, marry me."

  1 round. After 1 round, I can win and marry you!

  "Ok, it's over..." Yun Xi put down his chess piece in the center of Orfina's chess pieces, in the place where the heart of the fierce fire dragon was.

  The next second, a gorgeous figure with a pair of golden red wings shot up from the chessboard, flying above the entire star map with infinite golden red flames!

  Chapter 409: Sun Bird

  It was a crimson fire dragon, an overlord fantastic creature in the fire starfield.

  There were a big red gem and two small red gems, on its forehead, which stood for the source power of fire. A stocky red horn covered its head like a big cutter wheel, wrapped around by countless red and black flames.

  On its huge red wings and under its strong lower limbs, there were thick exoskeletons protecting its body. The fierce red scales on its body were vivid, far clearer than the shadow of the God of Death Black Mage just summoned.

  Its dragon eyes looked like a pair of lava pools, endless evil auras were boiling inside of them, announcing the dragon's identity.

  Its scales sparkled like the crystals of fire with vague black lines on them, which stood for the road of power it had chosen.

  It was once a pureblooded crimson dragon, the lord of fire, but it wallowed in degeneration, indulging in wanton massacres in the mortal world.

  Because it was a pureblooded crimson dragon, after being infected by demon air, it became a fire demon dragon that was much stronger than any real crimson dragon.

  It wasn't being lured by the abyss, but degenerated into the deepest side of hell of its own free will.

  It proactively accepted the aura of destruction and tyranny, turning into the avatar of greed and madness, Rathalos.

  Since its projection was summoned by Orfina's Sanctuary of Fire, appearing on the unknown star map, it meant that the fire demon dragon had controlled a trace of rules of the immortal, leaving its projection in the history of the endless god's domains.

  Orfina believed that once she successfully summoned this fire demon dragon, Rathalos, the victory would be right in her hands.

  Till she saw the golden red phantom.

  Yes, the figure with a pair of golden red wings was just a phantom, to be precise, it was just a vague "concept".

  From the outline of its body, it should be a golden red bird, however, Orfina never saw such an ornate, bright golden, mythical bird.

  The mythical bird was surrounded by endless spirits of fire, and it had three legs.

  There was nothing around the bird apart from the infinite flames.

  Looking at it, Orfina confirmed that it was the strongest, most beautiful fantastic creature she had ever seen.

  The sun-like three-legged mythical bird wasn't recorded in the books of dragons, it was a new, unknown, ultimate fantastic creature.

  It stood for the source of life, the highest mystery that could never be touched and studied.

  Its golden red wings could cover the entire world, flying above the thirty-three heavens.

  It raised its head, looking around, and any place that it was looking at, started to burn. Even the rock under the ground started to boil, becoming a sea of lava.

  Above the boiling sea of lava, countless spirits of fire flew to it, danced and sang around it.

  Golden spirits of light were born and turned around it, waiting for its orders.

  The fire demon dragon, Rathalos just formed on the chessboard and hadn't announced its appearance with an earsplitting roar, it had been surrounded by endless flames. Its body was theoretically immune in the face of any fire, but now, it was ignited and turned into golden red particles, disappearing in the air.

  The golden red mythical bird just waved its wings, countless golden lights had pierced through the body of the fire demon dragon like the sharpest swords, turning it into ashes.

  All the areas on the star map were covered by endless solar storms, one black point after another appeared and exploded in the golden red world of fire.

  There were "sun spots", generating from the strongest light and heat.

  Sunlights could breed new lives, they could also destroy everything and burn everything.

  As the fire of the sun dropped onto the ground, all lives would melt, only the spirits of fire and light could dance around the mythical bird above the thirty-three heavens.

  It was an ultimate fantastic creature that no mortal could touch. It had superpowers, and was also surrounded by infinite loneliness.

  It was a "god" that would be born in the future called "Immemorial Era", it was the ultimate fantastic creature that would cause the havoc called "Ten Suns Cover the Sky".

  What Orfina saw was the "sun", the strongest sun walker in the future.

  It could never descend into the mortal world and could only live above the thirty-three heavens, otherwise, its light and heat would burn the entire world into ashes.

  During this era, it hadn't been born yet, but its "concept" had formed, and it had a "name".

  The Starry Sky Chessboard caught a fragment of the future and predicted its birth, then Yun Xi found its existence from the star map and summoned it by using Orfina's Sanctuary of Fire.

  Darkness had been expelled from the star map, the entire chessboard was covered with beautiful golden red lights.

  On the vast star map, no other colors were still existing. It wasn't the Disaster of Sky and Earth, but a new "ultimate ko" Orfina hadn't seen before but really existed.

  Most stars were crushed and disappeared in the endless explosions of sunspots. Only a few stars whose orbits were far away from the sunspots dodged the disaster, following around the newborn golden red light in the center of the world.

  After destroying most things on the star map, the golden mythical bird finally folded its wings, rested on its sun and looked at the "past" through the chessboard.

  The golden red bird should just be a "ko" on the star map, it couldn't really be an existing life, however, Orfina saw "wisdom" from the eyes of the mysterious golden red bird and "mystery" which was as great as her mother.

  Chapter 410: The Thread of
Fate

  "What... what is this fantastic creature?"

  Orfina looked at the golden red figure who burned her fire demon dragon into ashes and swallowed the entire Sanctuary of Fire. She was really shocked.

  It was just a vague outline, its true body didn't even really appear on the chessboard, it had dominated the entire star map. Its absolute power made Orfina feel helpless.

  Does this fire-type fantastic creature really exist in the history of the endless god's domains?

  No, it can't be a simple fire-type fantastic creature. From the body of the golden red mythical bird, Orfina sensed the power of stars, which was similar to her power but was far stronger than her power even if she transferred into her Ruby Dragon form.

  Her true body could turn into a gem star under the aegis of her great mother, Yasha the Dragon God. The weight of the gem star was 59.6 ten quintillion. Even if she simply moved her body in the void, her body would cause gravitational tidal effects on other stars nearby her.

  The gem star was her core, the source of her legend ranked power.

  She herself was the most terrible war machine in the Dragon God's Domain, a moving natural disaster.

  She and another Dragon God's Apostle, Thanatos the Lair of Dragon were the ultimate forces of the dragon race.

  Her true body was too big, so she was sleeping in the Emerald Dream most of the time. If she wanted to go outside, she would use this human form avatar she was using now.

  She never imagined that there would be any fantastic creature that was bigger than her true body and more beautiful!

  Even if it did nothing, it deserved to be worshipped by all creatures.

  It was the sun, the flame above the thirty-three heavens, the god ruling the world.

  People must kneel down in front of it, praise and believe in it, creating countless poems and tales for it.

  The land that was shone by its golden red light, the legend of it would be eulogized forever.

  In the future, it had countless names, because it was so distinguished, so beautiful, so holy. Anyone who saw its appearance would think it was the avatar of immortality.

  "I... I don't know..." Yun Xi was dumbfounded too. Looking at the mythical bird who was pecking its feathers, he had a feeling that he just summoned a very strong fantastic creature.

  What a miracle, the Starry Sky Chessboard! I haven't even reached the hero rank, but can actually summon this unknown beautiful bird by using the Sanctuary of Fire.

  Yes, it was all due to the Starry Sky Chessboard. Yun Xi didn't think that he had any relationship with it, after all, it looked like a bird that only exists in fairy tales.

  However, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

  Did it just look at me?

  Oh, again! It's staring at me!

  Wait, isn't it just a projection? How can it have a sense of itself?

  No fear! Don't panic! I'm not using my own body but Teacher Casina's avatar!

  ...

  Outside of the Starry Sky Chessboard, on the peak of the Eastern God's Domain, in the world of countless fantastic creatures' homeland, all living beings suddenly had a feeling that something was going to happen.

  In the sky, countless golden red lines spread around the sun, as if something terrible was going to be born from it.

  In the north sea, the ancient giant creature, "Kun" leaped from the water in the form of a whale, then flew to the sky in the form of a roc. However, its feathers were burned by roasting about halfway, it was scared and immediately dived into the sea.

  A group of Suparnas flew to the sun from the Western God's Domain, however, they couldn't withstand the temperature of the golden red particles around the sun, shouted and wrangled.

  Only the feather snake who didn't have a physical body could get close to the super being who hadn't born, hovering around it.

  In the east, the green dragon looked at the terrible scene and became lost in thought.

  In the west, the white tiger looked up at the figure in the sky, itching for a try.

  In the south, the princess Rosefinch chattered with its family dependants, flying to the sun.

  In the north, countless ancient words emerged out from the old turtle's black shell.

  "West Queen, is it she?"

  The master of the Kunlun God's Domain, the mother of all fantastic creatures, West Queen answered, "Yes, this child is going to wake up."

  "Her name is Golden Sun Crow. She will be the most beautiful star in the future, the origin of the Immemorial Era."

  ...

  As if time itself stopped when Yun Xi summoned the golden bird.

  For the first time, Orfina started to wonder if she was really the favorite of stars.

  Where am I? What am I doing? Who is my opponent?

  Is this Casina a fake? In my memory, Casina can't be so strong!

  Casina is the invincible Battle God in the mystery word "the Battle God's Championship Contest", however, how can she be so strong in this mystery world "the Starry Sky Chessboard"? They are two distinct worlds!

  "..." Yun Xi was confused too. He knew it was just a projection on the chessboard, however, he had a feeling that it was looking at him. Although its era hadn't started and it hadn't been born, they had had an unknown relationship.

  "Oh, this is really not good..." Mei'er had the same feeling.

  Amongst the three roads Yun Xi chose before, a road which had been closed suddenly had the sign of being activated.

  "Beyond the beginning of obscurity, at the first second of being born of the world, a being named Primordial was born. Here is the place where the stele of the heavens fell asleep..."

  Chapter 411: Alpha's Doubt

  At the same time, on the other battlefield of the Starry Sky Chessboard.

  The hourglasses of both sides had run out by one third. The two chess players were having a tight competition.

  "Cyber Elf Alpha, you... aren't just a newbie..."

  Norn the God of Wisdom looked at the chessboard and murmured.

  "I'm... the strongest Cyber Elf..." For the first time, Cyber Elf Alpha didn't achieve absolute advantage from the beginning. She looked at the chessboard in confusion and requested for additional computing power for her true body in the Mechanus God's Domain.

  The game with Norn was tougher than she had expected.

  In the Mechanus God's Domain, countless alchemists and engineers were busy at work, like ants.

  Surrounding the God Crystal, over ten thousand people were working for Alpha.

  There were similar scenes also happening in other places in the interplanetary network which was specially built for Alpha.

  In order to increase Alpha's computing power, the people of the Mechanus God's Domain built hundreds of Planet Quadrant Computers. In order to transmit data at the fastest speed, they built many more special communication satellites.

  With the support of the hundreds of Planet Quadrant Computers, Cyber Elf Alpha could be invincible on the Starry Sky Chessboard, crushing her opponents using her overwhelming computing power.

  However, she finally met the strongest opponent, who wasn't inferior to her in the game at all.

  The number one Star Go player, Norn the God of Wisdom.

  Even though Alpha's computing power was hundreds of times stronger than any common legend ranked being, she couldn't take the advantage within the first 50 rounds. It was really out of her expectations.

  The computing power she used now was already far beyond the computing power she used when playing with Black Mage. Now, she had to request more support of computing power.

  Cyber Elf Alpha's requirement was equal to Oracle to the engineers in the Mechanus God's Domain. She was the miracle they created with their hands.

  Her order overrode all rules!

  "Cyber Elf Alpha applies for more computing power!"

  "The first set, second set and third set of Planet Quadrant Computers are overheating! Be quick, inject more coolant liquid!"

 
"Launch the 15th and 16th Planet Quadrant Computers!"

  "Move! Move! Move! Bring 50 communication satellites online! Our primary goal is to increase Alpha's computing power!"

  "No wonder he is the God of Wisdom, our Alpha is getting serious."

  "Humph, it's not surprising since he is the strongest Star Go player."

  "However, our Alpha will be the final winner! Victory belongs to us!"

  One creator of metal after another was launched on one planet after another. They were connected to the ley lines of the planets and started their synchronous computation for Alpha.

  At the orbits amongst planets, beautiful rhombic metal satellites reflected cold blue lights, transmitting the results of the computation to the God Crystal.

  All the links of the entire process stood for the highest achievement of the Mechanus God's Domain.

  Most engineers were just mortal. However, by using these Planet Quadrant Computers and the God Crystal, they finally created the exclusive god of the Mechanus God's Domain.

  Everyone believed that the era of Alpha was coming. The newborn Cyber God would defeat the old gods in intelligence, becoming the avatar of wisdom in the endless god's domain.

  "Tok! Tok! Tok!" After increasing the computing power again, the metal antennas on Alpha's head rang.

  In her pupils that were covered by star lights, countless data flashed through like a waterfall.

  Input the coordinates and orbits of the stars.

  Set ten thousand equations for the next 3 rounds, putting ten trillion computing power into use for each of the equations.

  Set thirty thousand equations to calculate the possible locations the God of Wisdom would put down his chess pieces, putting a hundred trillion computing power into use for each of the equations.

  Start to overclock the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Planet Quadrant Computers.

  Merge the 14th, 15th and 16th into the Quadrant Computing Network. Increase 15% of the total computing power.

  This was Alpha's style of battle. No matter who her opponent was, she could crush them by increasing her computing power infinitely.

  Even if it was the legend of Star Go, Norn the God of Wisdom!
