Was it just a joke?

Of course.

After all, Sui Xiong couldn’t throw away his morality, especially when the two games had the same characters, but with totally different images.

Well, even if he wanted to throw away his morality, he couldn’t throw two copies away in the same place.

He called it a hypothesis. What he was talking about was just a hypothesis! Because it was very important, he had to emphasize that it was just hypothesis, especially if Sui Xiong created an Oracle that corresponded to a famous and legendary warship that kept its crew wherever it traveled. The problem was the excavator technology… no, Sui Xiong knew that the legendary warship had two different versions, so which one would he choose?

Obviously, no matter which one he chose, he could only choose one, not two.

Sui Xiong laughed and enjoyed himself. People in this world could certainly not understand why he was laughing, but it didn’t prevent him from enjoying himself.

After laughing, he began to create his Oracle.

First, he would create Oracles through mass production, considering that in the future, when the clergy summoned Oracles, the lowest level of destroyers would be their main summoning targets. Thus, Sui Xiong started from this base.

He carefully tried to remember for a moment, shaking his head again and again at the various versions in his memory.

Fish-like creatures? No!

Fish-like creatures that stretched out one or two arms ? Was this a horror movie? No!

A little girl standing in the mouth of a huge fish-like creature? It was creepy to think about. No!

A little standing beside a huge fish-like creature? It could be considered.

A little girl with no legs who rode a sprinkler board? This would look like child abuse. No!

Girls who wore old Japanese children’s clothes with terrifying guns in their left hands? This could also be considered.

Sui Xiong thought for a long time and finally realized that there were only two choices for him. It could either be a girl dressed in cool clothes with a huge fish-like monster or a girl dressed conservatively with a huge gun in her hand.

Sui Xiong thought carefully for a long time and finally decided to choose the former.

The reason was simple. He thought that wearing cool clothes may distract the enemy in battle. Anyway, for Oracles, their defensive powers were determined by the strength of their Divine Shields, and clothes were just for decoration.

Moreover, when a little girl appeared with a huge fish-like monster, it would be difficult for enemies to judge who was the target, because some people may have thought the huge fish-like monster was more dangerous and given attacking it priority, while others may have thought that the monster was summoned by the little girl and would attack the girl first. In this way, the enemy’s firepower would be spread over a greater area, and their fighting capacity would be greatly diminished.

As for whom the Oracles were representative of… Sui Xiong had a sinister smile on his face. He wouldn’t tell the others that actually, these Oracles had no representation. Even if they were bombed to pieces, as long as their will from the God’s Kingdom didn’t collapse, and they absorbed enough magic, they would be reshaped quickly and fight again!

After choosing a target, it was easy for Sui Xiong to continue creating his Oracles. Oracles that were mass produced didn’t need soul structures that were too complex, especially the lowest level of destroyers. If their souls were too complex, it would increase the power needed when summoning them, which wasn’t worth it.

According to Sui Xiong’s creation, the intelligence of these kinds of Oracles wasn’t high. They could only execute four orders: offense, defense, vigilance, and retreat. Among them, he attached the highest importance to the orders of attack and retreat. The former was the key to winning, while the latter was the key to the survival of his middle and low-level clergy.

The greatest advantage of the destroyer-like Oracle was that she was extraordinarily fast. She could fly faster than sharp arrows in the air, and in the water, she could swim faster than most kinds of fish. When attacking enemies, she would skim over her enemies at amazing speeds and launch magic attacks with small gun barrels on the huge fishes. And when circumstances permitted, she would move closely to enemies and ask the huge fishes to jet out massive torpedoes. Once they were hit by the torpedoes, even legendary masters were likely to be seriously injured, or even killed. Considering that summoning this kind of Oracle only required people to reach the level of a middle priest, it was the best choice for traveling, adventuring, and attacking.

What was more, the high speed of the destroyer-like Oracles could also be used in patrolling and retreating. They could run quickly, so they could naturally patrol more areas. As for the retreating function, it was the ability that satisfied Sui Xiong the most.

When the situation was worse, this kind of Oracle could allow the clergy to lie on the back of the huge fish and escape. It was hard to imagine that enemies could successfully pursue such a fugitive with the high speeds at which this kind of Oracle could run.

Although escaping would be a bit dishonorable, the greatest value of this kind of Oracle was to protect the clergy from being caught by enemies!

A few days later, Sui Xiong had completed the creation of this kind of Oracle, so he took one and showed it to his subordinate.

“She’s wearing too little.”

“Yeah. Too little clothing! Others might suspect that we’re poor…”

“My lord, I know you don’t care about what mortals think of you—mortals won’t think a jellyfish is lecherous… But you should put yourself in the position of your clergy and think about them! Wouldn’t you be ashamed for a white-haired and noble low-ranking priest to summon such a young girl whose clothes are the equivalent of a handkerchief?”

Sui Xiong was surprised, thought about it carefully, and realized that was indeed a valid point.

“If I were the one who summoned the Oracle, I would have the impulse to crash into the roadside.” Old Rhode, the oldest one in the church sighed, “My lord, please make sure that you dress her more appropriately!”

Sui Xiong was a kind man who accepted other people’s opinions easily.

Creating a suit of clothes was as simple as eating or drinking for Sui Xiong. He waved his hands, and suddenly, a leather suit appeared on the Oracle.

To be honest, this leather suit was still a little too sexy, overemphasizing the woman’s curvy figure. However, in this world, there were many fantastic creatures who dressed up more exaggeratedly than this, so it wasn’t a problem for the Oracle to dress like this.

After changing her clothes, the next step was to show her ability. In fact, no one was very impressed by her attack. Even if she used the powerful torpedo attack, it didn’t make any sense, because to use the powerful torpedo attack, she had to stand right in front of her enemies. But everyone praised her high speed.

Especially when Sui Xiong acted as an injured clergyman and asked the huge fish to help him escape, demonstrating her ability to retreat, everyone was deeply impressed and nodded in praise.

Sui Xiong’s considerations had been very reasonable. For the Church of the Void Mask, which lacked a clergy, any middle or low-level clergies were valuable. Whenever possible, Sui Xiong tried his best to protect them. This kind of Oracle, who could help injured clergies retreat at a high speed, were excellent summoners even without any other abilities, if only for their ability to retreat.

The destroyer-like Oracles were highly praised by everyone and greatly inspired Sui Xiong’s enthusiasm to work, so he continued to follow up with his work. In less than ten days, he had created two more kinds of Oracles, the “light cruiser level” and “heavy cruiser level.”

The Oracle of light cruiser level looked like a black-haired girl with a mask, a leather skirt, and long hair. She wore heavy leather boots and tough leather gloves. When she was fighting with enemies, she would summon two kinds of guns which were equipped in her hands, and she would control the direction of the guns with her arms. When she had to move quickly, her boots would release a light shield, forming an air cushion that would greatly improve her speed.

This kind of Oracle was an evolution of the destroyer-like Oracles, whose speed had slowed down a bit due to an improved attacking ability. What was more, this kind of Oracle could also throw torpedoes. The key was that they could summon light guns when necessary. When the two light guns on their arms attacked together, they could form a defensive layer in the air and effectively attack flying demon beasts, or a large number of other magic beasts.

Generally speaking, she was also a defensive Oracle.

However, the Oracle of heavy cruiser level was totally different. This kind of Oracle looked like a little girl wearing light leather, suspended rings over her head, and a long tail. Once this little girl entered combat, she could summon two kinds of heavy giant fish heads. These two heavy weapons were very powerful, and even the legendary masters would find it difficult to resist when they continued firing. If more heavy weapons were summoned and attacked together, they were powerful enough to sweep a large area, which could make enemies in the legendary realm retreat as far as thirty miles.

In other words, this kind of Oracles was for offense.

When Sui Xiong asked the Oracle at the heavy cruiser level to show her power of heavy artillery firing, everyone nodded in succession and praised her combat effectiveness.

“You can’t really tell from their appearances…”

“Very strong!”

“They’ve reached the level of legendary combat effectiveness.”

“Can they be summoned by the advanced clergy? Doesn’t that mean the advanced clergy in our church have the power to compete with the weaker legendary masters?”

“Wow! Will the level of force in our church be improved this much?”

Sui Xiong couldn’t help but laugh after hearing everyone’s comments.

“It’s wishful thinking! Is it really that easy to summon Oracles?”

Everyone thought for a while and laughed.

Indeed, a legendary master could maintain strong combat effectiveness all day long, but the clergy in the Church of the Void Mask couldn’t summon Oracles of heavy cruiser level for the same amount of time.

When the clergy summoned Oracles, they had to use their Divine Powers constantly, not only to summon the Oracle, but also to maintain its existence on earth. If the clergy forcibly kept the Oracle on the earth all day long, it could not only consume lots of Divine Power, but also impose a heavy burden on the clergy’s bodies.

Even if the clergy’s Divine Power could keep up with this, their bodies might have been unable to stand a constant output of Divine Power.
