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

by Fat Bread

  "Calculation... is wrong..." Cyber Elf Alpha looked at Orfina's dragon in surprise.

  There were wounds and scars of being burned on the body of Orfina's fire demon dragon, as if it was just punished by heaven. However, its aura was stronger.

  Originally, it was at the same rank as Alpha's two fire demon dragons, but it was crazier. Finally, it was killed, but before that, it bit one of Alpha's dragons to death and seriously injured the other dragon.

  Alpha still achieved victory on the chessboard, however, it was no longer a crushing victory.

  After the game with Casina, Orfina's Star Go strength increased again. It wasn't anything about computing power but other unknown stuff, which could never be obtained by simply increasing one's computing power. This was what Alpha lacked.

  Instinct, inspiration, courage... they were the intangible variables in the world, which could even change one's doomed fate. If Alpha's computing power wasn't hundreds of times higher than Orfina's, it was hard to say that she would be the final winner.

  "I lost. You are strong." Orfina conceded. However, there were flames burning inside her eyes, which made Alpha feel confused, as if Orfina wasn't the loser and she didn't win the game.

  "However, you will meet a stronger person soon. That 'cloud' is stronger than you."

  Cyber Elf Alpha kept silent, but she remembered Orfina's words.

  The strongest target confirmed: A Cloud in the Sky!

  Chapter 423: Wow, Golden Legendary!

  Why does the Starry Sky Chessboard determine the star points of the chess players by using their records of successive victories?

  Isn't it a matter of course to defeat the opponents who are weaker than me?

  If one was lucky, one could avoid meeting all chess players whose star points were more than his own. Although the probability was small, it did exist. Theoretically, it was possible.

  The time of playing was equal for everyone. As long as the chess player defeated his opponent at top speed, he could immediately start the next turn of the game.

  If one wanted to fight a quick battle and force a quick decision, he would consume much more of his energies and have a greater chance of making mistakes.

  Under such a harsh rule, Norn's 60 victories in a row and Orfina's 50 victories in a row all proved their real strengths. No one could obtain star points due to luck.

  Once entering the world of 4 star points, the Starry Sky Chessboard would become a real cruel battlefield.

  There was actually no newbie protection mechanism on the Starry Sky Chessboard, so it was possible for any newbie to meet Norn the God of Wisdom in their first turn and meet Orfina the Ruby Dragon in the second turn.

  All 4 and 5 star points chess players were real insurmountable hurdles. Newbies could only pray not to meet them, not mention to defeat them.

  Throughout the history of the Starry Sky Chessboard, only a handful of newbies could achieve 20 victories in a row.

  However, the newbies this time were doomed to shock the entire world.

  The first was Maha Mystery, the "secret weapon" of Buddhism. After being defeated by Yun Xi, he easily achieved 20 successive victories, then was defeated by Norn the God of Wisdom.

  The next was Hero of Might, the unknown chess player from the Dragon Tower. He also achieved 20 successive victories, then was defeated by Orfina.

  The last two newbies hadn't been defeated by anyone, their performances made everyone who was paying attention to this game feel interested.

  "A Cloud in the Sky", a newbie from the Sky Tower. His identity is unknown, his race is unknown, and his gender is unknown. He had achieved 32 successive victories till now. Unfortunately, he was the strongest newbie in the history of the Sky Tower, a sparkling new 3 star points chess player.

  "Cyber Elf Alpha" was even more like a monster than "A Cloud in the Sky".

  When most chess players had only played 40 turns of the game, she had achieved 72 victories in a row, which was unprecedented in the history of the Starry Sky Chessboard. The more amazing thing was that her battle record was still updating!

  No one could escape from the fate of being butchered when facing Alpha. Even Norn the God of Wisdom and Orfina the Ruby Dragon were defeated by her easily.

  Suddenly, Cyber Elf Alpha became the focus of all legend ranked beings who were concentrating on this game.

  "Cyber Elf Alpha, it sounds like a code name of an elf. Is she really a strong Star Go player from the elf race?"

  "It's possible. After all, I wouldn’t feel surprised to see any genius from the elf race. However, Norn the God of Wisdom has been defeated 2 times! That’s really incredible."

  "Orfina also lost two times. This time, the Starry Sky Chessboard will really be changed!"

  "None of the four newbies are easy to deal with. They are monsters!"

  "Two 2 star points, a 3 star points and a 7 star points. Am I dreaming?"

  "Can the two newbies have some kind of relationship?"

  The two newbies defeated all the old overlords of the Starry Sky Chessboard, Norn and Orfina. The traces of their rises were so similar, it was hard to believe that they had no relationship.

  Their special Star Go style, "putting the first chess piece onto tengen" became the focus of everyone.

  Each star map was unique. If one didn't see the star map, it was impossible to deduce and reproduce of any turn of Star Go on the Starry Sky Chessboard.

  Even if they could see the composition of Star Go, most people wouldn't understand the moves of either side of the chess players. This was one of the reasons why Star Go was the highest masterpiece of wisdom in the endless god's domains.

  A Chess manual was just a kind of reference. Even Alpha could only extract the style of the chess players from the records of their moves, but she couldn't reproduce the same composition of Star Go again.

  Nothing was impossible on the Starry Sky Chessboard, this was the charm of Star Go.

  Gradually, everyone changed their topics to the "duel" which was fated to happen in the not too distant future. .

  “Cyber Elf Alpha” vs “A Cloud in the Sky”.

  Neither of them had been defeated by anyone, which meant that it was only possible for them to defeat each other. Although the duel between them hadn't appeared, it was predestined to be a classic that would be recorded in the history of the Starry Sky Chessboard.

  Everyone was waiting for the coming duel.

  Most people thought that Cyber Elf Alpha would be the ultimate winner.

  It was a matter of course, because the computing power Alpha had shown was incredible. Everyone could imagine how strong she was by looking at her battle record.

  On the contrary, although "A Cloud in the Sky" also defeated Norn and Orfina, no one understood how he defeated Norn and Orfina even after studying all the records of his moves.

  Especially the game between him and Norn, it looked as if they were two newbies who played Mimic Go, then Norn made a fatal mistake that only a newbie would make.

  Even so, no one doubted the true strength of A Cloud in the Sky. After all, he did achieve 3 star points. It was an unarguable truth.

  If Cyber Elf Alpha hadn't come, he would be the biggest black horse.

  Finally, the 73th game of Cyber Elf Alpha and the 33th game of A Cloud in the Sky, they met each other on the chessboard.

  "Oops, golden legendary... no, a 7 star points chess player!" Looking at the star points above Alpha's head, Yun Xi was really shocked.

  Chapter 424: The Final Fantasy of the Mechanus God's Domain

  “Cyber Elf Alpha” vs “A Cloud in the Sky”.

  Before the duel started, on the planet where Alpha's true body was, tens of thousands of people surrounded the core of the network of quadrant computers and waited with straining eagerness.

  There were silver-haired old men.

  There were small goblins.

  There were legendary elves.

  However, most of them were just common human engineers. Ov
er 90% of them had no talent of superpowers during their lives.

  Even in the ancient times, before the Mechanus God's Domain was found and connected to the network of star bridges, the people here had been doing research about the possibility of creating their god, Cyber Elf Alpha.

  At that time, the Mechanus God's Domain had another name, "Starship Alliance". The Starship Alliance had controlled several galaxies, and the people there proudly thought that humans had become the master of the universe.

  During that time, there were only three Planet Quadrant Computers in the "Starship Alliance", and they were respectively owned by three different forces. People believed that science was almighty and it was a truth above all things.

  Nothing couldn't be explained by using science, and nothing couldn't be overcome by using science.

  Until it was discovered and connected to the old star bridge network, when elves, giants and all kinds of creatures arrived in this world with curiosity, they finally realized that they were wrong.

  The proudest ultimate weapon of Starship Alliance, the "Mecha" with Nucleus Drive was just a toy in the face of true gods.

  After resisting for one day, the entire Starship Alliance was wiped out, the master of the core of the alliance, the three Planet Quadrant Computers was changed overnight.

  The arrival of gods announced the end of the era of science. The engineers in the Mechanus God's Domain had to admit that science couldn't solve all problems. Science couldn't explain a lot of things, and the definition of science also greatly changed after that.

  Legend ranked beings were so strong as if they came from fantasy. Even science couldn't explain their super abilities, they were great beings that could be called "gods".

  Cyber Elf Alpha was an ultimate fantasy of the Starship Alliance before the arrival of gods.

  It was a hypothesis: if an elf had the infinite computing power, which was sufficient to let it calculate all changes in the universe, could it be "omniscient and omnipotent"?

  It was the ultimate fantasy of science, the perfect god in the minds of people before the real gods arrived.

  Unfortunately, it was just a hypothesis.

  The gods came and the entire Starship Alliance was dissolved. After that, it became a paradise for the engineers all over the Western God's Domain, a shrine of the people who wanted to study the rules of science. Finally, it was renamed "the Mechanus God's Domain".

  After all these things, Cyber Elf Alpha was still just a fantasy living on papers.

  In order to complete this hypothesis, there must be a core which could connect multiple Planet Quadrant Computers together. However, such a core didn't exist. Theoretically, a Planet Quadrant Computer was already the upper limit of the computing power in the Mechanus God's Domain. If they wanted to pursue stronger computing power, there was only one method.

  Computing power could be overlapped by connecting multiple Planet Quadrant Computers together, however, there must be a core to receive and distribute all of the data, apart from that, the core should also be able to find and solve the bugs in the network of Planet Quadrant Computers.

  Unfortunately, even in the endless god's domains, the engineers of the Mechanus God's Domain couldn't find any treasure that met the requirements.

  From generation to generation, under the hard work of the engineers, the size of Planet Quadrant Computer became bigger and bigger until their computing power became higher than most common legend ranked beings.

  Unfortunately, they could only calculate, but didn't have wisdom. Moreover, the upper limit of a Planet Quadrant Computer depended on the size of the planet the computer located, and the energies that could be offered to the computer.

  All the engineers had a feeling of fear in their hearts.

  If one day, science, which meant the "mechanism" they created reached the limit of physics, when they couldn't let the Planet Quadrant Computers increase their computing powers a bit, would it become the end of "science"?

  What should we do when that day comes?

  Science could be challenged and reversed, even "gods" could be contained in the theoretical system of science. However, their only fear was "unable to move forward". If that happened, science would lose its infinite possibilities.

  After using the knowledge of materials science, mathematics and engineering science to their limit, the Planet Quadrant Computers they built even shocked elves, and even gods were surprised by their performances.

  Unfortunately, these Planet Quadrant Computers could only be built in the Mechanus God's Domain, because they were built on the special rules of the Mechanus God's Domain. Once any of them was moved from this god's domain, they would instantly stop running. Otherwise, every god would be willing to build the same thing in their worlds.

  Undoubtedly, Planet Quadrant Computer was the pride of the Mechanus God's Domain, the biggest legacy of the Starship Alliance. It was a miracle that all engineers in the endless god's domains would feel interested in.

  Only the top engineers felt the crisis.

  The strongest advantage of the Mechanus God's Domain was the Planet Quadrant Computers, however, their design theory had already been completed in the era of the Starship Alliance. So many years had passed, they still didn't make any substantial progress.

  If the computing power of the Planet Quadrant Computers could only be limited on planets, they couldn't move forward.

  Until elves brought the legacy of the Twilight of the Gods, they suddenly saw the light.

  From then on, everything became unknown and promising again.

  To the engineers and the people who were proposing the limit of science, nothing was more tempting than the "unknown".

  "Unknown" means that everything is possible!

  The code name "Alpha" stood for the key leading to the "unknown". After that day, they began to create their own god, their Cyber God of the Mechanus God's Domain!

  Chapter 425: God Crystal

  The mysterious legacy the elves brought was God Crystal.

  According to the words of the elves, God Crystal was a legacy of the Era of Gods. Its special properties couldn't be explained by science.

  It was both real and virtual, it could be touched but didn't have weight.

  Anyone could see it with their eyes, but it wouldn't offer any information to any detecting instruments, as if it was just a phantom image.

  Even a god tried to destroy the God Crystal, but returned without accomplishing anything.

  The God Crystal wouldn't react to any outside attacks, it just stood there, as if it was waiting for something, also looked like it was sleeping.

  If it wasn't because after inputting great amounts of data into it, the God Crystal would give a weak response, even elves wouldn't associate it with the Planet Quadrant Computers in the Mechanus God's Domain.

  The God Crystal was both real and virtual and could have infinite data written into it, it perfectly met the requirements of building the final fantasy of the Mechanus God's Domain!

  The method the elves used to move it into the Mechanus God's Domain was simple. A lot of legendary ranked elves worked together, moving the entire planet the God Crystal was located on into the Mechanus God's Domain.

  This planet, where the God Crystal slept, was the origin and the core of the Alpha Plan.

  By using the secret magic of the elf race, people could input data into the God Crystal. After connecting it into the network of the Planet Quadrant Computers, Alpha was born.

  Alpha was the only god and belief of the Mechanus God's Domain.

  For her birth, the Mechanus God's Domain specially built hundreds of Planet Quadrant Computers. They were all Alpha's subsets.

  Only Alpha could unify so many Planet Quadrant Computers together.

  After defeating Norn the God of Wisdom and Orfina the Ruby Dragon, everyone believed that the era of Cyber Elf Alpha had come, the era of the Mechanus God's Domain had come!

  Science was still the truth of all things, the best to
ol to explain everything in the world.

  With Cyber Elf Alpha, the Mechanus God's Domain would become a legend in the endless god's domains!

  The birth of Alpha meant that even mortals could create real miracles.

  Of course, more or less, the engineers ignored the God Crystal's unscientific properties.

  And the several elves, who lived from the beginning of the Alpha Plan till this day Cyber Elf Alpha was really born, were the real creators of Alpha.

  Elves had beautiful faces and perfect bodies, even the river of time didn't leave too many traces on their bodies, but the wisdom and vicissitudes in their beautiful eyes still proved everything.

  "Well, I didn't expect that the final opponent wouldn’t be Norn the God of Wisdom."

  "Is the final opponent from the Sky Tower in the Eastern God's Domain?"

  "We shouldn't underestimate the Sky Tower. At any rate, it was the strongest tower. Fortunately, their West Queen is busy with creating new fantastic creatures, otherwise, the ranking of the Sky Tower won't drop to the bottom."

  "Humph, no matter who the opponent is, our Alpha is the strongest!"

  As the favorite of the world, elves firmly believed in Alpha.

  She was a god who was born from the legacy of the old time.

  She was a cyber god that stood for the dawn of a new era.

  Combining the power of god with the power of science, she was the most beautiful creation in the world. She was a "truth" that could even give the bright elves hope.

  In order to see her birth, the humans in the Mechanus God's Domain had almost invested all the resources in their entire god's domain, and the elves offered their long lives as a tribute. They personally experienced the entire progress. No one would know Alpha better than them.

  As long as there were more and more Planet Quadrant Computers, Alpha's computing power would be literally "infinite".

  The God Crystal was both "existent" and "nonexistent", it could turn all fantasies into a reality.

  According to the investigation of the elves, the God Crystal could reveal distinct properties.
