After reaching the maximum level, my "soft rice system" finally arrived.

"However, the shock I felt when I first heard this story... remains incredibly clear in my mind."

"I chose to become a wizard, to be able to devote myself to arcane magic... and to achieve what I have today in the field of arcane magic... perhaps, it is because of the influence of that story."

Charles stood up and stretched.

"Of course... just like the saying goes, there is no first place in literature, but there is a second place in martial arts."

Unlike literature and aesthetics, which lack a unified standard for judgment...

"The outcome of battle... has clear criteria for judgment."

"Winning is winning, losing is losing... The optimal solution in war is to preserve oneself as much as possible while inflicting casualties on the enemy."

"so......"

"Proposing this plan to them, to the Silver Civilization... wasn't just about helping the Silver Civilization fight against the invasion of the false god..."

"For me, completing this plan...is also of considerable significance."

"Because this is an opportunity."

"A dream that I had when I was young... my earliest dream..."

"To retain that initial aspiration to become an arcane sorcerer, to become a wizard..."

"Opportunities that manifest in reality."

.......

Suddenly, a series of urgent alarms blared in the conference hall.

On the conference table, in the holographic projection map, which was being watched by countless eyes...

The crimson lights, which had been disrupted and disordered by the blue lights, suddenly became orderly again.

Then... little by little, they regained the advantage that the Silver Civilization had previously held.

In a very short time... the battle situation that the Silver Civilization had originally held the advantage on suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.

"Your Majesty Charles..."

"please."

The white-haired and bearded Dean of the Arcane Academy looked at Charles and spoke sincere words.

He gave Charles a standard wizard's salute, then handed him a gleaming golden crystal core...

This is a key, or rather, a token.

A key that connects the Silver Holy City... and even all magical creations and mechanisms in the entire Silver Civilization... the key with the highest authority.

If Ciel has malicious intentions...

Upon obtaining this token, he could directly cause the Silver Holy City to fall from the sky and self-destruct.

.......

Charles received the gleaming golden crystal core from the Dean of the Arcane Academy.

Then, he downed his coffee in one gulp.

Immediately afterwards, Charles closed his eyes slightly.

next moment......

In the ocean of his spirit.

The once calm sea suddenly became turbulent and raging.

Above the spiritual world of Charles...

Millions of data streams were transmitted from the Silver Holy City, through the surveillance network that spanned the entire continent...

It merges, interweaves, and complements the data and information collected by Ciel's own mental power.

Then... all the information and details of this world...

All of them converged into that magnificent, pale golden cloud.

That was the quantum computer that Charles built in the ocean of his mind...

Or in other words...

This is the "Poetry Cloud" that he created for himself.

.......

"Combat unit connection loading...Highest access granted to Silver Holy City control center."

"Control of the space carrier 'Yunlong' has been granted."

"First mech combat cluster - highest remote control authority has been retrieved."

"Second mech combat cluster - highest remote control authority has been retrieved."

"Third mech combat cluster - highest remote control authority has been retrieved."

"Control of the Silver Civilization's first, second, and third energy fortresses, as well as large-scale city defense magic weapons and defensive equipment, has been obtained."

"Battle data import... Quantum cloud computing platform, battlefield model generation."

"First verification passed..."

"Second verification complete..."

"The quantum artificial intelligence 'AlphaGo' is integrated into the computational system for advanced warfare."

In reality, Ciel slowly opened his eyes.

Within those dark eyes, countless pale golden arcs of electricity flickered.

In the astral plane...

Those countless invisible connections linked the quantum computer in his mental ocean with all the combat units belonging to the Silver Civilization.

Then--

The cold, electronic sound echoed in the sky above the ocean of the mind.

"War calculations begin..."

.........

Chapter 86 The Laws of Victory Have Been Established 6k

Imagine an observer positioned in near-Earth orbit, looking down upon this pale continent from a superior vantage point...

Then he will discover... at this very moment...

This world... is like a huge chessboard.

Tens of millions of combat units.

Magical machinery, and the "Servants of God"...

The overflowing magical energy and radiance resembled countless sparkling starlight, scattered across the boundless chessboard like thousands of tiny particles of light.

The game is played using one plane of space as the chessboard...

Using millions of magical artifacts and wild beasts as chess pieces...

Using the fate of the Silver Civilization as a bargaining chip and a gamble.

In this game, there were only two players who actually made their moves.

.......

The ocean of the spirit is turbulent with raging waves.

And within the pale golden clouds above the ocean... were countless surging streams of information.

At first, it was just some vague and undefined information and data.

However... within a very short period of time.

Those illusory data streams intertwined and merged amidst the pale golden mist.

In the end... it all turned into a fleeting, illusory scene.

That was a microcosm of the entire battlefield...

No, it's less of a microcosm and more of a replica of an entire continental battlefield.

This is a product of a certain point in time on the battlefield, after all the information has been materialized.

In the beginning... this illusory world was still.

The flow of the wind... the trembling of the earth, even the rotation of the planets were frozen in that instant.

Then, at some point...

The frozen moment has begun to flow.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from the quantum computer, which was shaped like a golden cloud, and converged into a bright and brilliant torrent of light.

Immediately afterwards, the flowing light began to differentiate.
