A Terrifying Intuition-Type Player

Nice breasts...

Cough cough, what a fierce move!

Samael lowered his eyes, looking at the stalemate on the chessboard, and moved his pieces methodically.

Faced with the opponent's wide-ranging attacks, we employed techniques such as sticking and blocking, adopting a strategy of slowly chipping away at their health.

Gradually, Astraea's brow furrowed, and she pondered for a long time before taking each step.

The goddess, having removed her blindfold, was deep in thought, exuding a solemn and serene aura, radiating an air of asceticism.

But ironically, her graceful curves and delicate, beautiful face always make people want to see her in full and get closer.

The contrasting qualities of asceticism and temptation, order and crime, combine to create an impulse that invites blasphemy.

Samael's early mistakes were all due to being misled by that great evil.

Therefore, he deeply reflected on his actions and decided to work on strengthening his willpower!

Thus, a certain "Wise and Rational" snake continuously exerted pressure, prolonging the battle, its opening and closing vertical pupils silently observing its opponent's every move.

"I lost..."

After a stalemate lasting half an hour, Astraea, having lost all his pieces and with his territory almost completely wiped out, had no choice but to knock down the King's Pawn.

"I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time."

The goddess slightly raised her head, looking at the empty room and the sun that had already shifted to the southwest outside the window, a hint of apology appearing in her gray eyes.

"I happen to have some free time, and it's still early, how about we play a couple more rounds?"

Samael noticed the lingering satisfaction on Astraea's face, smiled slightly, picked up the Black Faction pieces, and gestured with his hand.

The Blonde Goddess nodded happily, re-assuming her stance, ready to challenge the game creator once again.

After all, a worthy opponent makes winning more meaningful and brings more joy.

Compared to Daphne, who was naive and playful and only had a superficial understanding of these things, the man in front of her was the peak she should challenge.

However, what Astraea was unaware of was that, after just a few games, Samael had already been amazed by the length of this Star Goddess.

His international chess level is only average; he's only able to maintain his current level by relying on experience.

Moreover, most of them were tortured in the Mesopotamian world, and it's a story full of blood and tears.

The first person to bring a game similar to international chess to the public for leisure was actually that Heroic King.

Because Gilgamesh possessed the Thousand-Mile Eye to see into the distance, he created a similar gadget in the Royal Palace Divine Tower for amusement, based on the standards of international chess.

The various chess pieces used to represent the battle situation on the Royal Palace Divine Tower were remnants of Gilgamesh.

Before he was in power, he often liked to team up with Merlin for a game of combat.

Unfortunately, that old, cunning nightmare always ran faster than a rabbit, and Samael, one of the Twin Kings of Uruk, became his shield, getting crushed on the opponent's side.

In order to buy himself more time, Samael was forced to refine his memory of international chess rules, which gave him a negligible advantage in terms of information and strategy.

Unfortunately, Samael's tactics and experience often only fool his opponents once or twice before becoming completely ineffective, or even being learned and used on the spot, leading to his own downfall.

The Heroic King Gilgamesh like this, and so was the goddess Astraea.

Therefore, I hate playing chess against intuitive players who are exceptionally gifted; it's not fun at all.

Samael watched the increasingly back-and-forth game on the chessboard, curled his lip, and muttered to himself.

Of course, although they are both intuitive types, they differ in their approaches to problem-solving.

Gilgamesh always liked to step outside the chessboard, challenge the Rules, and force some bad guy who had left himself room to maneuver to plug those deliberately left loopholes in the Rules.

Conversely, Astraea, on the other hand, likes to follow the Rules, yet is able to continuously innovate and delve deeper into the system.

"If all the games in the world were as clear, simple, and orderly as those on a chessboard, perhaps there would be fewer disputes."

At this moment, as the oppressive feeling brought by Samael was gradually dispelled by Astraea, the Blonde Goddess, who had a moment to think, looked at the chessboard and sighed.

"The premise is that we need to find someone who can set the Rules for the world."

Samael casually responded, advancing a piece.

Astraea picked up the giant magical beast representing her chariot, blocking the opponent's attack, and looked on with admiration.

"I've heard Daphne talk about all your romantic escapades..."

"The disputes that come to you for arbitration, the answers you give are basically satisfactory to both parties. That's truly remarkable."

Samael shook his head slightly, his expression filled with a hint of helplessness.

"I told her long ago that if it doesn't involve me, she shouldn't bring anyone to me anymore, and she should try not to ask me to arbitrate."

"These days, you might get slapped to death by a monster while walking down the street, and you might even get caught in the crossfire of a fighting god or monster while staying at home."

"Taking the lead in arbitration is a thankless task; who knows, one day the party that suffers a loss might come looking for trouble with me."

As the ancient serpent pondered, it removed Astraea's chariot, glanced up at the Blonde Goddess, and offered her a heartfelt warning.

"I can tell that Daphne respects and likes you. If you have time, I hope you can advise her to avoid causing trouble and standing out in the limelight lately, so as not to get herself into trouble."

The Blonde Goddess paused, recalling Daphne's personality, and couldn't help but smile, nodding slightly.

"I will..."

She liked the child, and a vague sense of fate led this Titan Goddess to vaguely perceive that Daphne might have an unhappy future.

If she were to leave, she could take the child with her and have him serve as her divine servant, protecting him well.

"General!"

Just as the atmosphere between the two chess players was becoming more and more harmonious, Samael glanced at the sun outside the window and launched a fierce attack, forcing Astraea's King's Pawn into a desperate situation.

In the end, the Blonde Goddess, whose chess skills had improved significantly, still finished the tournament with a record of one win, one draw, and eight losses, ending in disappointment.

Moreover, whether the opposing team threw the game in that match where they won and drew remains a mystery.

Overall, however, the intense brainstorming sessions that sparked the discussions were a great success, with everyone enjoying themselves.

In this Titan-dominated era where fists were the preferred means of reasoning, Samael had long gone without finding a patient opponent to play chess for amusement.

Seeing that it was almost time to go make dinner for Tina, the ancient snake got up, stretched its limbs, and smiled as it said goodbye.

"I am interested in the disputes you handle."

"If you can, could you continue telling me the story?"

Before leaving, Astraea opened her mouth to ask a question, her gaze gentle and earnest.

Samael turned slightly, his brow furrowing and his expression becoming solemn.

Do you have tea? Do you provide meals?

Astraea paused for a moment, then lightly covered her lips, revealing a faint smile.

"Certainly."

After the joke, the two looked at each other and nodded, and Samael's figure gradually disappeared into the hazy mist.

The child was vigilant and immediately saw through the implications of advocating justice and promoting arbitration.

If you want to know more, you can't be too impatient.

However, Astraea ...

His reaction to hearing the name seemed a bit strange.

The Blonde Goddess, standing before the water, gazed at her gradually blurring reflection and unconsciously raised her hand to touch her cheek.

In addition, [recently]...

Could it be that he already has a premonition that something big is about to happen?

Evil forces make their appearance. jpg
