Chapter 892: The Disaster Day of the Girl
Sweet Dream possesses extraordinary talent in Starry Sky Chess, even surpa.s.sing Norn the G.o.d of Wisdom and the Ruby Dragon Orfina in terms of innate abilities, making her a match for Cyber Elf Alpha.
Even when pressed into a desperate situation by Yun Xi"s unconventional chess moves, she still found a way to counterattack.
That one sword represents Sweet Dream"s unwavering will and the hope of turning the tide in adversity.
If her opponent were not Yun Xi, perhaps this sword could truly turn the tables for her, at least securing a draw and restoring balance to the situation.
In such a overwhelmingly advantageous situation, ordinary people may become somewhat complacent and underestimate Sweet Dream"s counterattack.
Yun Xi would not make such a mistake; rather, he had been waiting for this sword all along.
In order to bring forth this sword, he started by suppressing Sweet Dream"s chess path with a series of light attacks, step by step pushing her into adversity.
Then, the consecutive three moves appeared formidable, but he had already antic.i.p.ated the earth-shattering sword Sweet Dream would inevitably unleash.
Yun Xi had already calculated Sweet Dream"s strongest strike from the beginning, using his strategy against her spontaneity.
Her anger.
Her determination.
Her unwillingness.
In the world of Starry Sky Chess, Yun Xi could sense all the emotions emanating from this genius chess player from the Dark Abyss G.o.d"s Domain.
He gazed at her figure, holding her sword in his hand, and effortlessly dispersed the boundless sword-light.
Sweet Dream wields the ultimate "attack," an unstoppable and relentless a.s.sault.
Yun Xi holds the "Everything," representing the ultimate benchmark in the world of Starry Sky Chess.
When Yun Xi wants to attack, he can unleash the catastrophic Star Collapse that brings immense despair, just like what Cyber Elf Alpha experienced.
When Yun Xi wants to defend, he can also erect walls of sighs, leaving Sweet Dream, armed with her divine sword, at a loss.
As long as it is on the Starry Sky Chessboard, Yun Xi has no reason to lose.
This is his world, the most suitable battlefield for him.
Perhaps in the real world, he is still the young person striving to surpa.s.s his invincible childhood sweetheart, acc.u.mulating racial limits.
But in the world of Starry Sky Chess, he is the one standing at the pinnacle of the stars.
It"s not that Sweet Dream is not powerful enough; with her divine sword hidden in her heart, she has the talent to defeat any high-ranking chess player, even capable of challenging Cyber Elf Alpha.
However, the opponent she encounters is a Yun Xi stronger than Cyber Elf Alpha, the most formidable Starry Sky Chess player in the history of Starry Sky Chess—Starry Sky Chess Master Yun Xi.
The grains of sand in the golden hourgla.s.s continued to fall, but Sweet Dream, who had unleashed her strongest strike, was unable to make her move.
Because this time, she could no longer see any hope of victory.
Her divine sword, for the first time, encountered something it couldn"t cut through.
The divine sword hidden within her since birth could cleave rivers, mountains, land, seas, and even shatter falling stars from the sky.
But this time, the divine sword couldn"t achieve "cutting through."
Just like the first time she looked up at the endless starry sky, it took Sweet Dream a long time to realize that her divine sword had encountered a concept akin to a natural enemy.
A G.o.d Weapon embodying this concept had never appeared in the world of the King Tower, but it was now right in front of her.
For mere spectators, it was impossible to comprehend the terror behind those sighing walls, which served as a despairing barrier that even G.o.ds couldn"t surpa.s.s, the concept that restrained Sweet Dream"s swordsmanship the most.
It was truly a wall that even G.o.ds would lament.
"My sword... can"t cut through...!" Sweet Dream took a deep breath and made her move once again.
Yes, she continued to make her moves!
As long as the game wasn"t over, she would not surrender, even though she couldn"t find a beacon of victory amidst the endless darkness before her.
Nevertheless, she still chose to continue the battle.
Like a king who had lost his army"s treasures and was left to fight alone, she chose to die on the battlefield rather than suffer the humiliation of surrender.
However, in her clear eyes, tears had appeared at some point.
Yes, she knew she was going to lose.
For the first time in her life, she encountered an insurmountable wall, and a formidable opponent she couldn"t comprehend.
Having only experienced victory and never tasted the bitterness of defeat, the invincible myth of the Throne of the King was about to come to an end here today.
She was unwilling! Why did it turn out like this? She had lost! The sound of the golden hourgla.s.s" sand falling became exceptionally slow in Sweet Dream"s ears, and she had never realized how long time could be.
At this moment, every minute and every second on the Starry Sky Chessboard was torment, punishment, and despair for her.
However, she would not retreat.
Even if she was going to lose, even if she faced the brink of death on the battlefield, a true king would raise their head and face the opponent head-on, just like she was doing now.
She firmly remembered the name of the first person who made her taste defeat—Little Cloud.
In her heart, a new goal, a fresh obsession was born.
Even as her eyes gradually filled with tears, she fought back against her opponent"s attacks with all her might, maintaining her dignity as a king.
If possible, she really wished for this kind of punishment to end soon. Playing a game that she couldn"t possibly win was a complete humiliation for the proud Throne of the King.
Unfortunately, Yun Xi couldn"t understand this.
After realizing that Sweet Dream seemed to understand her inevitable defeat, Yun Xi started to play more slowly, just like he did on the Starry Sky Chessboard.
Many chess players who partic.i.p.ated in the recent Starry Sky Chess Tournament and played against Yun Xi would be familiar with this style of play.
Especially those chess players whose skill was not strong enough, they failed to realize that they had already lost long ago, thinking that they were evenly matched against Yun Xi.
Sweet Dream is not that kind of chess player, quite the opposite. She is a genius on par with Cyber Elf Alpha, capable of deploying aggressive tactics like the Five Stone Slaughter shortly after starting to learn Starry Sky Chess.
So she clearly realized that she was being toyed with and bullied by Yun Xi, using various means, with no ability to resist.
That feeling, as if her body was constantly being manipulated, played with, humiliated, made the usually proud Sweet Dream want to cry.
Can"t cry! Can"t cry! Can"t cry!
Can"t escape! Can"t escape! Can"t escape!
Sweet Dream gritted her teeth and fixed her gaze on Yun Xi, who was leisurely playing and enjoying his entertainment time.
This person is simply too wicked!
"Playing chess... is actually very enjoyable..." Yun Xi, who had no idea what mistakes he had made, happily made his moves, just like when he played with "Norn the G.o.d of Wisdom," "the Ruby Dragon Orfina," and "Cyber Elf Alpha," being calm and gentle.
Hmm, if Sweet Dream didn"t have such incomparable talent, maybe she would actually believe it.
