Chapter 199. 5,637 Regrets (5)
Although no one can say for sure when computers surpassed humans, at least one Chapter that always appears in that debate is the ga of Go.
In fact, AI had already easily beaten humans in the intellectual contest of chess.
However, at the ti, so experts argued that unlike chess, Go has a near-infinite number of possible moves, requiring a contest of so-called 'intuition,' and therefore, machines could not surpass humans.
Well, the result is as everyone knows.
It was a landslide victory for the computer.
However, what I want to talk about now is not the result, but the process of the contest.
In that match of the century, the legendary Go player selected as the human representative showed the strength of humanity against the seemingly invincible machine and achieved a thrilling victory at least once.
In an interview conducted later, a host asked him 'how' he won.
The answer was concise.
'I created a bug.'
The reason I'm recalling that one phrase now is probably because the battle I'm fighting has a similar aspect to that match.
My opponent is the God of War.
War itself.
He has witnessed all the endless wars of human history in his mind.
And he is a being who has even repeated that in countless repeated tilines.
Forget about being a veteran gar, I can't even hold a candle to him in terms of war data.
Because he has literally watched countless battlefields for tens of thousands of years.
During the five thousand chances I was given, there was no way I could win by honestly growing my 'tactical capabilities.'
So I chose a different thod.
To create a bug.
To create a bug, one needs to do a so-called 'ridiculous thing.'
So I moved my main body, Ash, and jumped right into the middle of the Ratn tunnels, the enemy camp.
Even before the battle began, I entered the dwarves' armory, pretending to inspect the modification process of the aerial battleships.
And I imdiately started digging a tunnel down by myself.
‘C-Count? What on earth are you trying to do….’
‘Quiet. I'll be back soon.’
It was an act that did not fit the image of a 'sincere lord and rational commander' that I had carefully cultivated so far.
No, in the first place, it would be ridiculous for a normal commander to do such an impulsive thing.
Well, it doesn't matter.
What's important is the result.
And the ingredients that create that result.
[[Earth Flow Reversal] is deployed.]
Puhwak!
In that sense, all the abilities and information I have are excellent ingredients.
Through [The Warrior's Regret], I have already repeated the battle where both sides poured all their strength more than a thousand tis.
I have learned all the earth-based spells and arts of both empires, as well as the fire-based and water-flow-based spells that would harden the tunnels.
The map of the spiderweb-like Ratn tunnels is also completely in my head.
[[Explore Earth Vein] is deployed.]
[[Water Droplet Throwing] is deployed.]
[[Burning Wind] is deploy….]
[[Aid of the Skywind] is…….]
Tugwagwagwagwak……!!
I dig down at a speed that puts an excavator to sha.
Mana potions from the subspace flow endlessly down my throat, and are soon shaped into delicate spells at my fingertips through my blood vessels, digging out the dirt and hardening the tunnels.
The only thing that was difficult to solve with spells was oxygen, but I solved this by receiving it through the wind spirits.
The underground is originally the Ratn's ho ground, but they did not detect .
That's because the tunnel I'm digging is only wide enough for a single adult male to barely squeeze through.
The vibrations I create are so small that even the Ratn cannot distinguish them from their own 'living vibrations.'
Unless the tunnels overlap, detection itself would be a distant prospect.
That's why I started digging the tunnel by myself without any explanation.
‘The mont I explain the situation, at least a few guards will be attached to .’
The widened tunnels would be imdiately detected by the Ratn.
I have already failed in that way more tis than I can count on both hands.
It's also much faster to move alone.
The ti it took to avoid all the Ratn tunnels and directly enter the center was less than an hour.
‘Jiiik-!’
‘I-i-i, intru…!’
I broke through the floor of a huge stone chamber where a ritual was in full swing, and in an instant, I snatched the Orb of Fire placed in the center of the magic circle and fled with spatial movent.
Imdiately after, I poured 'Dragon's Breath' into the tunnel I had dug up to there and set it on fire, turning the Ratn who were preparing for the ritual into crispy fried rat at.
Of course, I didn't do such a crazy thing for no reason.
After being unable to win a single ti in the hundreds of repeated field battles, I finally realized.
The defeat in the field battle was not a problem at the tactical level.
It was because the weight class itself was different.
A field battle is fundantally a battle of weight classes.
A flyweight champion can't beat a heavyweight champion no matter what he does.
I tried all sorts of tricks, but in the end, there was only one way to overco the weight class difference with the enemy.
‘To fight a siege battle from the beginning, not a field battle.’
It is said that in a traditional siege battle, one can overco a force difference of two to ten tis.
It ans that preventing the collapse of the Imperial Capital is no longer an option, but a necessity.
I was able to achieve this goal by stealing the Orb of Fire, the source of the energy that the enemy used to collapse the Imperial Capital along with its foundation.
It was around this ti that the ever-composed God of War started to talk nonsense.
He asked.
As if to distract my concentration.
But I can feel it.
That the man, flustered by the ridiculous act, is causing a 'bug.'
In fact, his command starts to get tangled from the mont he starts this nonsense.
They are very subtle, small and trivial mistakes that are difficult to notice, but I can see them all.
It's not because I'm a tactical genius.
It's just….
“I see.”
“Is that so?”
…Because it's a complaint I've heard over a thousand tis.
That's right.
This is already the 3,177th battle.
***
It is said that a bug that crashes the entire computer does not happen overnight.
Because a serious error is easy to find, and therefore can be fixed.
Surprisingly, the beginning of the accident is small things.
A minor short circuit.
Data loss of a few kb.
Trivial errors, etc.
When bugs that can be ignored accumulate and accumulate, eventually, a bottleneck or a twist ford sowhere leads to an irreversible result.
After succeeding in stealing the Orb of Fire for the first ti in the 1,004th battle, I paid attention to his mistakes and carried out several more 'bug-inducing acts' one by one.
Leaving the troubleso Lur Legion alone and retreating.
Using the Emperor's authority to crush the Church, and bringing the vampire's undead army into the city to deploy them on the southern defense line.
Using the Orb of Fire as a one-ti magic tool to raise Ella Siollus' ability to the 11th rank, and having her hold back the Hwayoung-monster for several days.
Suddenly spamming high-level miracles like [Divine Punishnt] with the clone of the necromancer Tribus and disrupting the enemy formation.
And so on.
Co to think of it, humans are similar.
Trivial habits, mistakes, thoughts, and emotions accumulate repeatedly and change a person's life.
Not a few people neglect minor imbalances and end up with a ruined life as a result.
‘...I was like that too.’
Even if I was hit by a motorcycle, I could have fulfilled my dream by becoming a comntator instead of an athlete.
On the day the accident happened during a strenuous training session, if I had been a little more careful, I might have been able to avoid a serious injury.
When I woke up in the hospital and faced the ti that had passed and the death of my family, I could have been relieved that I still had one blood relative left.
Instead of sinking into a ga listlessly, couldn't I have been grateful for the funds I was given and my quick recovery, and set out to find a new goal?
Well, honestly, I think it's too much to put all the bla on myself.
But now I can't deny it.
That in the end, my life was not made by a few big events, but by the small choices that have piled up over decades.
In fact, after falling into this world, at the many forks in the road where I could have been broken, I made better choices.
Despite the fact that the choices given to beca harsher as I had a will of steel.
‘…It's all in the past.’
Yes.
It's in the past, and I've experienced it.
So I know well.
That often, we only realize that sothing has gone wrong when we face the consequences, but by then it's too late.
Because a problem caused by a single cause and a problem caused by the accumulation of hundreds of different causes are on a different level of difficulty to solve.
Whether it's a computer or a human, it's not different.
If omniscience is lacking, even a god would be the sa.
The God of War stopped his legion from moving.
Checkmate.
I have seized the upper hand.
The monster legion is trapped.
The solid third wall and the second urban area full of traps have trapped them like a pocket.
Dwarven-made weapons and fire spells are pouring down on them.
The detour on the south side is being held up by the vampire's undead.
The north is being held by the elves and dwarves.
The only reinforcent, the Lur Legion, was blocked by Alina Pewin, the necromancer Tribus, and Bishop Castro openly pouring out miracles.
The hero force is no different.
The Hwayoung-monster is being held back by Ella Siollus, who has awakened with the Orb of Fire.
The Wind Master-monster is being faced by the elf queen Karen, who commands the top-class wind spirits, and Count Ash, with the assistance of the fleet of aerial battleships.
The Diviner-monster is on the verge of death after being beaten up by Randal, who was secretly sent behind them.
Although the tide of the battle turned to their side again when their only hope and most powerful pawn, the Eastern Emperor-monster, ca to the front.
