< VS AI - Battle of the Gods (6) >
Episode 254
It was none other than William who broke the mood drunk with the joy of victory and hurriedly intervened.
Was it because he was stabbed in the foot by the ax he trusted?
There was a clear embarrassment on his face as he approached, waving his hand.
In fact, I had no choice but to do so.
It was because ‘Ares’ victory seemed absolutely certain until he had a landslide victory over two of the world’s best professional players.
In fact, in the middle of the battle, ‘Ares’ was in an advantageous position until Do-hyeon suddenly woke up, just before repaying William’s trust.
If I had had a little more time, I might have won.
That was turned over in an instant.
It would be unreasonable to tell them not to panic.
But his words, “It’s not over yet,” were not uttered out of embarrassment.
‘Well, it’s not over yet.’
In the beginning, the match between him and ‘Ares’ was basically scheduled to be held in a best-of-three system.
He also said that if he wanted to, he would rematch as many times as possible.
So, looking at it, it’s true that it’s not over yet.
Out of 3 fights, I’ve only won 1 so far.
-Wilhada Reason…
-If you lose, you lose. What hasn’t been finished yet?
– No, you’re betting on something else??
– Human qualifications confiscated for 3 weeks!
‘I don’t know’ sponsors ‘10,000 won’!
[Are you ugly? 9797? Eva, pretending it’s not over yet, right?]
Viewers didn’t care about that.
They were in the mood for human triumph for a while, and booed William for breaking the colic.
It’s the first fight, so no matter how you win, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to do it again.
This backlash from viewers subsided only after Dohyeon stepped forward and said that the showdown of the century consisted of a best-of-three system.
It’s a contractual agreement, but there was a subtle side to betting on the other side to that point.
“Then shall we start right away?”
“·······No. Please wait for a moment.”
-??? : Because Ares is always ready
-Looks like I lost my confidence hahahaha
– Etiquette training period Kratos
– After losing once, you are so excited right? hahaha
William, who asked for a moment, secretly opened the distance and called Jack.
He was currently out in real time communicating with Jack, who was in charge of tuning ‘Ares’.
So Jack quickly answered his call.
As soon as Jack’s face was reflected in the hologram floating in front of him, William spoke at once.
“You said you could afford to deal with two people?”
“Sometimes one is scarier than two.”
Jack replied calmly.
It was an unfathomable response, which is hard to see as the one who was sure of the victory of ‘Ares’ and told Dohyun about it.
As William rolled his eyes as to what to say in response to Jack’s blunt answer, Jack continued.
“Hey, Will. Why did we sing Kratos in the first place?”
“…to teach ‘Ares’ the perfect combat intelligence of Kratos.”
“Yeah. That’s it. What’s it like to lose once? I’ve learned enough about ‘Ares’ now. That’s how I’ve become more perfect. I think I’ll be able to win next time.”
It was so convincing, William nodded involuntarily.
Surely, what was the reason for calling Dohyeon as a research partner?
It was to teach ‘Ares’ the perfect combat intelligence he had, and to make ‘Ares’ more perfect.
So, losing once was no problem.
Isn’t there an old saying like that?
“You learn everything from defeat.”
If they didn’t do this, there was no reason to call them a research partner.
“Then can we win next time?”
William asked after being silent for a moment.
Jack shrugged his shoulders again.
“Perhaps? I’m not sure. I don’t know if there are any variables.”
“Damn, Jack. If we lose here, the release of ‘Ares’ will be a long way off. Who wants a battle AI that loses to a single broadcaster?”
“Because I’m a broadcaster. What about that monster?”
“Whatever it is, at least it looks like it.”
Jack smiled bitterly.
To be honest, I wanted to tell him not to talk funny.
A broadcaster who smashes ‘Ares’ from the front?
Isn’t existence itself the pinnacle of nonsense!
If only one broadcaster could defeat the artificial intelligence created by the efforts of many scholars, the world would have already been firmly established no matter what happened by the broadcasters.
It was just that Dohyun was a monster.
It is a story about a situation in which an existence that can be called a god in battle lives as an individual broadcaster.
But it was also subtle to deny.
No matter how much Dohyun was packaged, it was like that from the outside.
“Well then, I’ll have to build it up again.”
“jack!”
“Calm down, Will. I have an idea too.”
William, who was quietly listening to Jack’s thoughts, frowned.
“Is that possible?”
“For once, on account of ‘Ares’.”
“Okay, okay. Let’s do it for now. Find a way to increase the win rate of ‘Ares’ as much as possible.”
William and Jack’s conversation ended there.
Researchers who had been watching their conversation hold their breath next to each other sneakily asked Jack.
“Team leader. As you may know, ‘Ares’ this time is-“
“You said it was impossible to learn. I decided that it didn’t come from the realm of calculations. I know, too.”
Most of what Jack said to William was true, but there were some things he didn’t say.
For example, ‘Ares’ learned enough.
There was something missing here.
What ‘Ares’ learned from the battle with Dohyeon was that it was impossible to learn that.
Coping from the realm of instinct.
Because artificial intelligence couldn’t do that.
“Then why did you say that?”
“I’m not lying. I’ve learned enough about ‘Ares’. Until the middle of the battle. I gradually put pressure on the opponent through him, and I went to the brink of victory. …well, I lost as a result.”
Of course, he had acquired considerable battle data in the mid-fighting battle, so it was not entirely wrong.
That’s why the researchers kept their mouths shut.
In fact, through this battle, Ares succeeded in obtaining a lot of data.
It is no exaggeration to say that he has grown even more.
The problem is the second half of the battle.
It was after Dohyun woke up.
“It can’t be helped. Damn it. I thought he had only perfect combat intelligence, but he was such a monster.”
Jack grinned bitterly.
He talked with William and naturally called Do-hyeon a ‘Monster’.
Because that was the most appropriate word for him to see Dohyun at the moment.
A monster from the story.
This is an unbelievable existence.
And the researchers who heard his murmur did not deny it.
Because that’s how they looked.
‘If you always put the right best move, the faster one wins-‘
This is Do-hyeon’s method of defeating artificial intelligence ‘Ares’.
The question is whether ‘always the right best move’ can only be judged in the realm of instinct.
‘You did it. Then you have no choice but to lose.’
Jack looked at Dohyun’s face on the hologram screen.
An expression without any emotion.
Just after the ferocious smile appeared on that face, the trembling of the defeat of Ares still remained.
He couldn’t have predicted it.
As for which one will win.
However, the loss of self-confidence due to the previous defeat was inevitable…
“This time, we’re going to change the way we play a little bit.”
Meanwhile, William approached Do-hyeon to execute the way Jack had said.
Hearing his words, Dohyun tilted his head.
“How to play?”
“It’s vague whether it’s the way the game is played or the game itself, but yes. It is.”
– Are you getting tired all of a sudden??
-Wilha Reasonium!!
– No matter what you do, big wins anyway
“The first one, as Kratos-sama wanted, we had a battle through ‘Blue Lightning’-“
In William’s words, it was
The original strength of ‘Ares’ was its wide range of calculations that could perfectly cope with any situation.
The more skills he has, the more effective it is, and ‘Ares’ is designed to take everything into account at every moment of judgment.
However, in the first battle, only the ability of ‘Blue Lightning’ could be used.
It means killing the greatest strength of ‘Ares’ and starting it!
“Hey…”
Dohyun listened to William’s words with interest.
If he could use hundreds or thousands of different means in the right place, it would certainly be called ‘perfect combat intelligence’.
The fact that ‘Ares’ still has something to show also aroused his interest considerably.
“So, in this battle, how about proceeding with the option that we had requested from Blon in advance?”
The content of the option is ‘Able to use the abilities of all psykers’.
However, there was a limitation here, and it was impossible to use the abilities of several psykers at once.
In short, it is impossible to use the ‘Auror’ of ‘Sword Master’ while moving quickly as ‘Thunder God’ with the ‘Axis Lightning’ of ‘Blue Lightning’ fully buffered.
Thoroughly only one use at a time!
In addition, since the output of each ability is set the same, there was no difference in power, although there was a difference due to the compatibility of each ability.
– I think this will be more fun.
-I’m really trying to win somehow hahaha
-But what are you going to do if you lose even this?
– A true education
“what do you think?”
“If you just listen, it’s true that ‘Ares’ is an advantageous condition. It’s true that we got the first edition on an advantageous condition… What are you doing to reject it?”
Khan and Vlad, who had stepped back, nodded.
It was definitely what they said.
In the first confrontation, Do-hyeon had an advantageous condition, so in the second fight, it was right for Ares to fight under favorable conditions.
Besides, ‘Ares’ is not the only one who can use various abilities.
Dohyun could do the same.
It’s just a problem because it’s incredibly difficult.
‘Actually, it is absurd to make humans and artificial intelligence fight under the same conditions.’
Khan thought so, but didn’t dare say it.
Do-hyeon readily accepted William’s offer.
He was confident that if he fought the same battle as he just did, he would win any number of times.
The battle with ‘Ares’ has already become nothing more than a repetitive task for him.
Because that was a monster called a genius who never stopped and developed.
So, this was better.
To make it a little more interesting.
“-Then let’s start right away.”
William, who recalled Ares, who had been scattered as powder of light, said.
Dohyun nodded and stood in front of Ares.
A doll of steel that shows no emotion despite being defeated once.
The blue eyes that did not see anything and the black eyes that glittered with interest quietly stared at each other.
A battle in which all Psyker’s abilities can be used.
And among all the psykers, as if it was natural, there was a ‘sword god’.
It is like the symbol of Do-hyeon.
‘Then I should write it.’
Dohyun slowly thought of ‘Sword God’.
A god dressed in golden armor shining brilliantly and noble, and twenty swords protecting him.
Even a sword made of light in his hand.
All those images are naturally overlaid on his body.
Do-hyeon, who became a ‘sword god’, raised his lips crookedly and smiled.
Once again, the true God descended to this earth to trample on the fake predecessor, Ares.
It was such a sight to behold.
– The swordsman has arrived.
– You’re a swordsman, Shiva!!
-Kratos sword mode ON!
-Ah hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
-Blah is only phase 1, now phase 2 begins! hahaha
“After that, it was there…”
The audience cheered like crazy, and Khan and Brad shook their heads.
William swallowed dry saliva at their reaction.
He also learned about Do-hyeon and of course saw the ‘Sword God’ raid.
Dohyun’s appearance there is truly transcendent.
It was from God, beyond the reach of human cognition.
‘no way······.’
However, ‘Sword God’ can only produce the same output as other psykers.
Then there is no hope for Ares…
Researchers, including William and Jack, who had such thoughts, finally found out.
That there is a god – or a monster – capable of defeating artificial intelligence with thousands of weapons in the world with just one weapon.
At the moment when Dohyun wins twice in a row against the artificial intelligence ‘Ares’.
