Chapter 1329: The Three-Eyed Holy Maiden
Demonic Saintess's special ability is "clairvoyance."
It's characterized by a third eye on the forehead, allowing the user to possess an intuitive vision.
Being without the known traits of a Heavenly Demon, even the gods considered them a rare and sacred species, often choosing them as their spokespersons.
With her third eye, she can manifest her mental powers and travel through the vast world.
They are incarnations of Heavenly Demons who only appear in times of great calamity, often choosing death to bring about greater changes in the flow of destiny.
Saint Demon is skilled at playing Starry Sky Chess and has played many intense matches, even reaching a draw with Norn, the God of Wisdom, in the Endless God’s Domain.
Among the renowned Starry Sky Chess players recorded in the seven towers, Saint Demon holds five seats, yet she didn't arrive in this era to witness Cyber Elf Alpha's rise.
Cyber Elf Alpha enjoys playing chess, and Saint Demon, with her clairvoyant powers, also takes pleasure in the game.
Through a pact with Yun Xi, Saint Demon discovers a surprising truth.
Before him, the boy who had completed the scroll of the Paranirmita Vasavartin, is now the strongest in the Endless God’s Domain, a Star Chess Player without equal.
A Starry Sky Chess Master, this is a glory that not even the gifted Saint Demons possess, the ultimate proof of intelligence in the Endless God’s Domain.
The Saint Demon contracted with Yun Xi expressed that if other members of her clan knew about this, they would definitely come looking for Yun Xi.
Perhaps the most important reason she was summoned by the Paranirmita Vasavartin Scroll.
Even Yun Xi himself may not know what the title of Starry Sky Chess Master truly signifies.
Just like the BattleGod, it symbolizes the pinnacle position in the Endless God’s Domain, representing countless legends.
Even a mere mortal with this title will receive endless glory and benefits, advancing to the legend-ranked is a sure thing.
More importantly, it signifies a shift in the fate river of the Endless God’s Domain, automatically attracting the attention of Fate itself.
For the Heavenly Demons who feed on the emotions of wise beings, this is an irresistible temptation.
Moreover, being crowned the peak of wisdom, this is what excites Saint Demon the most.
Saint Demon, who possesses divine intelligence, has a special penchant for fate's chosen ones, often focusing her attention on them the most.
Yun Xi is now being watched by Saint Demon and feels truly contented.
This person is qualified to make a pact with Saint Demon, to know Saint Demon's true identity, to know Saint Demon's power.
As a rare type of Heavenly Demon, Saint Demon has the ability to see the course of fate and to grasp the power of destiny.
"Guess first." Sitting in front of Cyber Elf Alpha, the Starry Sky Chessboard appeared between them.
Not using Yun Xi's Starry Sky Chess Master authority, but Saint Demon's own past Star Chess Player authority.
Due to the new rules, Saint Demon's ranking was divided into three tiers, with a huge gap compared to Cyber Elf Alpha's tier.
"Three-eyed Holy Maiden," Cyber Elf Alpha paid special attention to the opponent's code name, a name that she has not played against but has been recorded in the history of the Starry Sky Chessboard.
In ancient times, during a period after the Twilight of the Gods, someone once held the title of the best player in the Starry Sky Chessboard, but was later surpassed by Norn the God of Wisdom.
Intuition is correct, she is a worthy opponent to take seriously.
So, how much of her brain power can she bring to the table?
Should she give one percent of her full power, or go for even higher authority?
In order to enhance her chess skills, Cyber Elf Alpha has recently started learning to restrain her brain power when playing against opponents, keeping it limited to about ten times the normal calculation level of the legend-ranked.
A hundred times more brain power advantage leads to entirely different strategies compared to having a ten times advantage.
Having a ten times calculation power advantage doesn't guarantee Cyber Elf Alpha absolute victory when playing against "the God of Wisdom" and "the Jewel Princess"; she might even face disadvantages in the opening stages.
However, this is the situation Cyber Elf Alpha desires, as she rarely encounters the elusive A Cloud in the Sky. Suppressing her brain power and playing against opponents with four or five levels below her is her daily joy.
Facing the three-level "Three-eyed Holy Maiden" in front of her gives her a similar feeling as when playing against the God of Wisdom and the Jewel Princess, which might give her a taste of danger.
The result of the guess game was that Saint Demon went first.
"Plop!" The crisp sound of a piece being placed, Saint Demon put her piece in the corner, which was a normal move for a Star Chess Player.
On the other hand, Cyber Elf Alpha chose the Tianyuan opening, which she recently liked to use as her starting move.
It's not about imitating anyone, but under the dominance of her calculating power, she set rules for herself.
She wanted to know why the Starry Sky Chess Master was so persistent in using the Tianyuan move.
"Master... Can you support me?" Saint Demon asked Yun Xi, who was watching the game.
Normally, this would be against the rules, but Saint Demon and Yun Xi were now in a state of unity, approaching the concept of a Heavenly Demon, which didn't have a physical body.
The so-called Heavenly Demon, a terrifying creature that feeds on the emotions and thoughts of intelligent beings, is something even monks fear in the Buddhist world.
According to the rules of the Starry Sky Chessboard, there was no distinction between the Heavenly Demon and Yun Xi as separate entities. When acting on Saint Demon's will, she could simply use her past privileges.
"Hmm... alright... how to move next?" For Yun Xi, Starry Sky Chess is probably the best game he plays in the world.
Till now, he didn't realize how honorable the title of Starry Sky Chess Master really is.
Even the lofty Saint Demon herself was amazed by this achievement.
"To lose gracefully."
"To make her feel pain."
Saint Demon's strategy is simple yet effective.
Whether being crushed by Cyber Elf Alpha or crushing Cyber Elf Alpha, it doesn't achieve the best result.
Lure the opponent in, give them hope and then despair, slowly guiding their emotions until they burst out fiercely in the end.
Hmm, sounds familiar, right?
When Saint Demon walked among mortals, that's how she treated the chosen ones.
Without having to give anything, not even allowing a touch, yet causing lifelong pain to the other, that's what makes Saint Demon terrifying.
They never need to attack like Enchantress, just a glance, a word of encouragement, can make people willingly die for them.
