First, from one to two...

Then it goes from two to four...

Next came four and eight...

Then, from eight to sixteen... from sixteen to thirty-two, the branching of light began to spread without limit.

Within the quantum cloud...

Within each ray of light lies a divergence in the future.

.......

The Western Continent, the City of Arcane Arts.

Inside the Dark Tower, in the subplane where the Arcane Hall is located.

On that enormous magical light screen... the latest battle situation on the Silver Continent was being displayed in real time.

Although most of the inhabitants of the Western Continent only have a vague and unclear understanding of the Silver Continent.

However, the high-ranking wizards of the Dark Tower... are well aware of certain inside information.

Therefore... the higher-ups of the Dark Tower naturally knew...

What is the significance of this battle for the Dark Tower and even the future of the Western Continent?

As long as wizards do not give up their pursuit of truth and arcane arts... they are destined to be enemies of false gods.

The Western Continent was able to enjoy two or three thousand years of golden age because it had not yet been discovered...

But at this very moment, with the Moon Goddess's descent in the capital and the opening of the dimensional portal from the Western Continent to other planes...

It's only a matter of time before the false gods come knocking on the Western Continent...

And that is why... inside the Dark Tower, the high-ranking members who had reached the quasi-legendary or legendary level all put down their arcane research and gathered in the Arcane Hall.

Even the ice sprite Akshia was sitting on a throne made of ice crystals, silently watching the scene on the light screen.

"This guy......"

"If we were to hold another Arcane Council meeting now..."

"Then, with just this quantum computer... he could probably win the 'Crown of Magic' once again."

"Infinite parallel computing... If it were used for arcane research... what a magnificent feat it would be."

Kieran looked at the scene in the Silver Holy City conference room on the light screen and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Of course... for the current 'Arcane Throne'..."

"A mere 'Crown of Magic' seems rather insignificant."

.......

"I still don't quite understand... His Highness Charles's thoughts..."

The gruff voice of Archmage Norton rang out.

After the previous Arcane Council meeting, Norton, who had suffered a great blow in the field of arcane magic, chose to return to the Dwarven Empire and begin a long period of seclusion.

Now he has finally emerged from seclusion... not only relying on quantum theory, but also completely sublimating and solidifying his cognitive world.

Norton even vaguely felt that he had truly touched the threshold of the legendary rank.

Perhaps after a few more months of reflection, he will be able to truly break through... this barrier that has hindered him for over a century.

He had thought that his gains during his seclusion would be enough to surprise Charles...

But to my surprise... I was greeted with a huge surprise as soon as I came out of seclusion.

What the hell is the Silver Continent? And what the hell is the False God?

And... what exactly is a quantum computer?

How come the world seems to have changed so drastically after I've been in seclusion for a few months?

That said, this feeling of "seven days in the mountains, a thousand years in the world" isn't the first time I've had it...

"Simply put... it means that our deputy tower master... has simulated the battlefield with data."

"Then, based on every option on the battlefield, countless future branches are calculated."

Kieran explained with a wry smile.

"To give a simple example..."

"For example, on the battlefield, when a combat mech is facing an enemy attack, it can make two decisions: to go left or to go right. Then two different options will arise."

"And the tactical evasion maneuvers of the mechs can be executed one second after the decision is made, or two seconds later... or even one and a half seconds later, one and a half seconds later... and countless new disagreements will arise in this process."

"And on this battlefield, which uses an entire planet as its chessboard, there are simultaneously millions of combat units similar to that combat mech..."

Therefore, every second on the battlefield... gives rise to tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of disagreements...

Even though Sharl never hid his plans from his companions in the Dark Tower.

But in Kieran's aged eyes, there was still an undisguised sense of amazement...

"And if we add another second on top of the first second... then the newly generated future divergences will not be a simple addition, but an exponential accumulation."

"Such a massive number of future divergences, which can be counted like the sands of the Ganges... If one were to rely solely on the mental power of a legendary mage to calculate them, it would not last even a fraction of a second... Such a large number of parallel calculations of future divergences would be enough to exhaust the mental ocean of the calculator, dry up the soul, and cause the calculator to fall from the legendary rank."

"However... thanks to the fact that quantum computers can run an infinite number of processes simultaneously... this impossible idea can be turned into a possibility."

"What about storing and filtering the possible branches?"

Norton asked incredulously.

"Even if the infinite divergences under such a complex system can be calculated... there is absolutely no storage device in this world that can store the entire future of a battle."

.......

"Yes... there is no memory that can be so large as to store all the future branches."

"Therefore... in the process of calculation, it is necessary to discard the vast majority and only retain the valuable branches..."

"This is... what he meant..."

"That's the responsibility of the artificial intelligence called 'AlphaGo'."

The ice sprite's clear, cold voice echoed through the empty arcane hall, answering Norton's question.

Akshia gazed slowly into the light screen with her beautiful, icy blue eyes at Shar, whose eyes were slightly closed.

"Most of those future disagreements are redundant and useless, and will not affect the overall situation."

"AlphaGo's role is to use deep training to select the most likely paths to victory from the complex and redundant future possibilities."

"And—ultimately."

"The future..."

"It converges to the optimal solution under the pre-set conditions."

.......

"The odds of winning at the current point in time are... approximately 0.00031 percent."

Above a sea of ​​pale golden clouds.

In Charles's eyes, the golden arc of electricity was slowly receding.

He silently gazed into the sea of ​​his mind at the minuscule, almost nonexistent, odds of victory that he had calculated himself...

This is... among all the endless divergences of the future... the percentage of future branches leading to the "annihilation of the Silver Civilization Legion"...

In other words, this is the Silver Civilization's chances of winning if Sharl doesn't intervene and lets the battle unfold naturally.

0.00031%.

So small it could be described as pitiful.

Considering the "pseudo-solar furnace" technology used by the Silver Civilization... the two sides are now completely evenly matched in terms of military strength...

Even with equal military strength, he still has such a high chance of winning... The strength of the God of War is indeed beyond doubt.

"But... since it's 0.00031%, and not truly zero..."

"That means... a military genius..."

"You are ultimately just a false god, not a true god of victory."

Charles's thoughts stirred slightly.

.......

next moment......

"War calculations using quantum artificial intelligence—AlphaGo—are beginning probability screening."

Followed by.

Beside Ciel...

That endless, ever-dividing river of light...

Following Ciel's wishes, things began to gradually come to a close...
