Demon King, Don’t Run Away

Chapter 458: If you can't beat it, join it

Views:

The opening that Yang Yu used was exactly the same one used by the famous AlphaGo.

Over the years, Yang Yu still remembers that once a defeated opponent ran towards him excitedly and asked him to play chess.

Thinking that the guy was one of his few friends, Yang Yu gladly accepted his challenge.

But Yang Yu, who wanted to defeat him badly, lost ten games in a row at the beginning.

As soon as Yang Yu saw his smug expression, a fire suddenly burned in his heart.

After learning that he had studied the chess records of the artificial intelligence AlphaGo, Yang Yu followed the principle of joining if he couldn't beat him and began to learn how AlphaGo played.

Yi Zuo didn't know yet that what he was about to face was a chess strategy developed by a terrifying machine that combined human wisdom. If he relaxed at all, the game would immediately fall to one side.

At this moment, Bai Jin and the others were also in different spaces, each undergoing the test of their courage.

That’s right, the chess pieces in Yang Yu’s hands were all made by Yi Zuo based on the appearance of Bai Jin and the others.

On the sixth floor of the Hall of Courage, the enemies you face are actually yourself. The sixth floor will give different illusions to different people and implement a test of courage.

As for the content of the trial, Yi Zuo can change it.

The test of courage that Yang Yu would originally accept was to defeat his current self.

But Yi Zuo thought that this content was not right. If another him appeared in front of Yang Yu, wouldn't he know that this was an illusion

So Yi Zuo temporarily changed the trial to one that he would preside over personally.

However, Yi Zuo did not expect that Yang Yu's chess game would unfold so quickly. He was not paying attention and was forced into a dilemma by Yang Yu.

Shifting the perspective to other people, the situation simulated in the sixth level's illusion is almost real. If no one tells them, the people trapped in it may not even realize that this is an illusion.

What's even more tricky is that the test of courage that everyone is going through has a fantastic connection with the falling through the clouds.

For example, the illusion that Bai Jin saw.

As soon as Bai Jin landed, she saw Yang Yu fighting with the guardian of this level of the maze. The enemy was very strong, and Iyas and the others were all seriously injured. However, there was a kind of heroic spirit in Yang Yu's eyes that was ready to die.

Iyas and Hake each saw a teleportation array, which teleported them back to the Elf Forest. Yang Yu was unlucky and fell into the Elf Queen's boudoir, and was chased around by the Elf Guards.

Lotkar landed in a forest and smelled the cousin who made him a traitor. Yang Yu beside him said to him, "There is a high possibility that there is something in this underground maze that attracted your enemies and the mastermind. If there is any grudge, don't be polite and solve it directly."

Qingshi was standing alone in the endless desert, and saw the note left by Yang Yu, which read, "We have been thrown into the real desert, and we must find other people within the specified time. I will go first."

Every scene was extremely real, and since everyone had experience in skydiving, everything fit together naturally, and no one doubted the authenticity of these scenes.

As for Yang Yu, he didn't care whether he was trapped in a similar illusion he had experienced in the past.

Since the other party has made it clear that as long as he can beat him in chess, he can pass the level directly, what are you waiting for? Just pin the other party to the ground and rub him first.

Caught off guard by Yang Yu's sudden move, Yi Zuo tried to calm down and find a way to turn the situation around. He had gradually put the matter of the trial of courage behind him and was only thinking about how to turn the situation around from Yang Yu.

Yi Zuo finally thought of a move, but Yang Yu's attack followed. He used Lothcar as a "horse" and kicked Yi Zuo's queen mercilessly.

Yang Yu's move made Yi Zuo fall into deep thought again. This one-sided situation made Yi Zuo unable to deal with it, but he was unwilling to give up on himself and exchange the chess piece in his hand with Yang Yu, forcing Yang Yu to make a dilemma.

Even if Yang Yu was forced to make a difficult choice, what could he do? When the chess piece was eaten, Yang Yu didn't even blink.

Seeing that Yi Zuo was hesitant to take the next step, Yang Yu said:

"This underground maze is even more boring than I imagined. It's called a trial, but it only follows the will of that person and forces him to make decisions that he thinks are courageous."

[Perhaps, that is indeed the case.] Yi Zuo put down his hand that was giving orders to the chess pieces, [To be honest, I cannot figure out what the brave Laux wants to do. When I saw him again, he was already an old man.]

"From your tone, it seems that you were also awakened by the hero after being dead for a long time."

[In order to cover my companions' escape, I stayed alone to fight the Demon King. ]

"Sacrificing yourself for your friends? You're quite brave. I can see your strength. You can deal with the Demon King, probably because of those star eyes, right? They can see through the flow of magic around, and find the flaws in the magic and break it with one blow."

Yi Zuo was a little surprised, [Do you know this kind of eyes? ]

"I know someone who happens to have eyes like these."

Yi Zuo suddenly became interested, [Really? What kind of person is he?]

"She is a very stubborn and nosy girl." Yang Yu replied, "She has a group of reliable friends around her. You seem to care about her a lot."

Regret was clearly revealed on Yi Zuo's face. "In my time, I am the last person with this kind of eyes.

My wife was only a few months pregnant when I was captured by the Demon King's army. I had hoped to see my lover and child's faces again after the war, but we ended up being separated forever.

Thanks to Laux, they were able to live safely in the troubled times, allowing my bloodline to extend to this era.]

It's normal for this result to happen after setting such a big flag before going on the expedition.

However, Yang Yu didn't care about this point. He would have to ask sooner or later anyway, so he chose to speak directly.

"Captured?" Yang Yu was a little surprised. "At that time, shouldn't you have died heroically under the fierce attack of the Demon King?"

Yi Zuo did not hide anything and told Yang Yu about his past. [I stayed behind alone to cover the rear. After a hard fight, I was captured by the Demon King's army. Ironically, the Demon King's army did not get upset because they let the hero escape. Instead, they celebrated because they captured me.]

"They want your eyes, right?"

Making a digging motion with his fingers in front of his eyes, Yi Zuo did not deny it. "The Demon King personally used his sharp claws to dig out my eyes and placed me in a dark basement.

Finally, I was transformed into a shameful monster, like a puppet, blocking the hero's way to defeat the devil.

At that time, I desperately begged the hero to kill me and tell my children that I was a real hero. Finally, I was freed.]
