25. Dead Line (20)
Li Lin was perfect.
He exists to illustrate what "perfection" should look like, to show the world what heights are beyond the reach of individuals and even races.
I have to say that no matter how good my mentality is, after seeing the power above miracles, and witnessing the posture like a work of art created by a god, there are only reactions such as despair, jealousy, and resentment.
The so-called flawless to the point of being frightening, probably refers to him.
However, it is precisely because of perfection, precisely because the pursuit of correctness and efficiency is the first priority in everything, that there will be gaps that can be used for strategy, and there are three places.
Li Lin's basic tactics are defensive counterattacks, and on the basis of not causing irreparable damage to the environment, he observes the tactics and actions of the target, formulates the most reasonable tactical countermeasures, and then adjusts and corrects them according to the actual effect of implementation.
The most terrifying thing in this set of tactics is the speed at which Li Lin processes and analyzes information.
Analyze information, predict the development of the war, adjust to the enemy's or your own shortcomings, and guide the course of the war - just like playing chess, the side that can calculate the future direction faster, longer, and more accurately will win. But when the human race only calculated the three moves, Li Lin had already calculated all the remaining chess moves, and even began to calculate the next game. Based on this alone, Li Lin is sure to win.
And Roland is aiming at this.
War is not a chessboard. No matter how sophisticated and brilliant a plan is, as soon as it arrives on the battlefield, there will be all kinds of sudden accidents, problems in execution, errors in intelligence omissions, pure accidents, and other "uncontrollable frictions," resulting in the development of the war situation quickly getting out of the control of the planners and executors.
These distractions can be eliminated to predict battlefield changes with unparalleled accuracy and make the best response. It is necessary to capture a huge amount of information, analyze and calculate it.
There's a problem.
- Priority for information processing.
When dealing with intelligence, a paradox is often encountered. Should the authenticity of the information be confirmed as a priority, or should even if it is incorrect, immediately inform us of the problem?
The command class leans toward the former, while front-line officers and men aspire to the latter. Such deviations are mainly caused by the different positions of the two sides. As a commander, it is important to take into account that it is very difficult and sometimes even chaotic to reorient and deploy large armies once they are operational. Therefore, they prefer the accuracy of intelligence to the speed of it. And the soldiers who are on the front line, fighting under the rain of bullets and bullets, pay more attention to whether they can get information in time, because it is directly related to their life and death. It should be said that there is no problem with either of them, and basically as long as the military has a sound structure and a clear internal division of labor, the two tendencies will not overlap and there will be no paradox.
However, as the supreme commander of the Alfheim Defense Force, Li Lin personally appeared on the battlefield and singled out Charlemagne and the Church's coalition forces. This act undoubtedly broke down the hierarchical barrier between the field and the rear, that is, the commander and the soldier in the field, and when the two identities are confused, there will inevitably be a "paradox of intelligence priority".
With Li Lin's computing ability, he can probably still deal with this level of paradox. But there is a second problem here, which is his own strategic planning.
War is not an end, but a means.
In the final analysis, this grand farce-like show of power is nothing more than a show of power to intimidate other nations in order to establish a new order.
For this reason, it is more important to show as much strength as possible and let the public see the difference in power between the two sides as clearly as possible, rather than resolving the opponent efficiently and quickly. This leads to Li Lin can only choose tactics under this framework, increasing the probability of the opponent's successful prediction.
For example, even if he knows that the opponent is preparing to press the trump card at the bottom of the box, he will still choose to wait for the opponent to play this card, or urge the opponent to play this card quickly, rather than killing the killer before the opponent is ready to finish it, and easily end everything. Just because smashing that trump card in front of everyone can achieve a more deterrent effect.
Another example is when you are about to push your opponent into a corner, because suddenly one person makes an unexpected performance. He didn't concentrate on getting rid of the weak opponent first, and then concentrate on dealing with that strong enemy. Instead, as if he had lost interest in the weak, he left behind a target that could be killed in just one breath and turned his head to deal with a new enemy.
These are all moves that do not conform to the basic tactical principle of "concentrating forces to strike at the opponent quickly", but when viewed in the light of the intentions behind the war, they seem very reasonable.
After all, war is a continuation of politics. That's the premise of everything.
“...... What you're doing is really right and reasonable. Even the most demanding person can't find fault with you. But you're too right, too reasonable. So much so that as long as you figure out your purpose, the direction of your actions is easy to predict and it is easier to deal with it!"
Through the storm of energy, Roland roared loudly.
From the exit of the space passage to Roland's location, the distance is no more than a few hundred meters. Compared to the maximum range of the "Third Impact", this point distance is almost equal to zero. Even if the power and speed were slightly reduced due to the barrier of air, it was only a negligible loss, and the huge energy flow was still staggered in the sky at a speed that was impossible for humans to react to.
However, the "third impact" that should have annihilated the opponent with a single blow missed one after another, and each time it passed by Roland by a fraction of a second, disappearing into the sky.
It's like reading the opponent's "breath", predicting the opponent's movements, and avoiding them at the moment before the opponent makes a move.
It's impossible.
Li Lin had no murderous intent, no guilt, and no so-called emotion and excitement. Once in combat mode, there is no such thing as an "individual" or "individual" in his eyes, and only humanoid targets with labels such as "target", "priority target" and "non-target" are left in his field of vision. He just carried out the corresponding processing according to the established processing process, and there was no emotion in it, and there was no so-called murderous aura. The kind of trick that predicts the timing of a move by sensing the opponent's emotional thinking fluctuations has no effect on Li Lin.
There is only one reason why he can catch up with Li Lin's speed, and even be one step faster than him.
“...... You've probably guessed that, no, that's in your calculations in the first place. Gather everyone's wishes to create a miracle like never before, and then single-handedly destroy that miracle, planting the seeds of terror and despair deep in everyone's hearts – that's the outline of your playbook. You wouldn't expect that gathering a large number of Wishes will not only increase the power of the Great Miracle Spell, but also increase the various abilities of an individual Miracle User. Having predicted this, you decided to make the most of this, fully mobilize the tension on the scene, and let more hope be filled into the 'miracle' balloon, so that the balloon will be more counterproductive when it is detonated, right?"
The world in front of Roland's eyes was unusually clear and wide.
It was not a description or a metaphor, it was an area that he experienced first-hand and was very different from what he had so far.
There is a birch tree one kilometer underfoot, and under the blowing of the storm, the tree is constantly shaking, and the leaves are flying all over the sky.
In Roland's eyes, the posture of every leaf as it danced was clearly visible, the flowers and trees, the rocks and flowing water, the conversation and movement of the crowd, the movement of missiles and beams of light—all of this was under his observation, and the trend of everything was in full view.
Where are the general and intertwined things going, and how are they related? On the other side of the continent, a butterfly is flapping its wings, and the breeze generated from the butterfly's wings is superimposed on the other side of the river, and finally causes a storm on the other side.
Observing these phenomena, he grasped the flow of the world, thus avoiding Li Lin's attack.
On the other hand, Li Lin is also inducing that flow to create gaps and dead ends in thinking, and then counter opponents.
Compared with the two, although Li Lin is subject to various constraints and cannot fully give full play to his advantages in computing efficiency, it is not impossible for him to surpass Roland's current calculation accuracy and speed.
The reason why they didn't do that, as Roland said. This was already in Li Lin's script, and of course he didn't need to destroy his script.
"Under such a messy bunch of constraints, you can still beat your opponent in a fancy way...... That's what he can do. ”
With this alone, Li Lin is already enough to be called the strongest existence in the past.
"It is impossible to overwhelm him in terms of strength. Even if you give another thousand years to prepare, you may not be able to do it. But the so-called victory, or the victory of humanity, does not necessarily have to be achieved in the way of 'fighting to the transcendence'. On the other hand, there is only one way to win. ”
God is not wrong, He is always right, and He does not die or change, which is why he is called God. As a result, God should be omnipotent and absolute, and always moving in the right direction.
Therefore, in the battle between God and man, only one way of victory for God is allowed to exist.
Without any scars, a complete and overwhelming victory.
"To single-handedly suppress the whole world—to achieve this only by achieving that harsh victory. In any other form, even a small abrasion, the fact that 'man touched God and left a wound on God' becomes unshakable. From the moment he was injured, Siegfried Otto Learin was no longer absolute, and the 'New Order' was no longer rock-solid. Once the seeds of God's dictatorship are planted, it is not so easy to eradicate them. ”
This is the last and biggest flaw.
The above three flaws are clear to Roland and Li Lin. The fierce offense and defense of both sides revolved around these three flaws, until the moment when the final victory came. And this moment came earlier than Roland expected.
As if the apocalypse had been received, and as if some kind of miracle had appeared, the raging storm had subsided, the lightning that had torn apart the sky and the earth had disappeared, and the sky had returned to its clear blue.
In the next instant, a crimson ray of light fell from the sky, piercing straight at the Divine Will Agent.
