The war between the Oracles started in the sea of fire in the sky.

Countless Oracles fought in completely different ways.

So of them wore black Whole-Body Armor and held swords in both hands. On the thick and heavy armor were sharp horns, and nobody knew whether they were for decoration or for fighting. The handle of the sword was set with a skeleton. If one listened carefully, one could hear the skeleton still howling.

These were the Oracles of the God of Fear, and they were simply called Fear ssengers or Fear Knights. Although they didn’t have specific mounts, they were able to fly, using the air as their mounts.

They looked clumsy, but in fact, they were very flexible and powerful.

Being powerful was the most important thing.

They were powerful enough to fight against those giant beasts at the legendary level, and they were fast enough to avoid those arrows shot by powerful crossbows. Although they didn’t know excellent martial arts, they had made up for that with their appropriate magic talent. If it was necessary, these seemingly armored knights were also able to use magic. Although the number of their spells was small, they knew almost all kinds of magic. Whether they wanted to attack, defend, move, strengthen their power or weaken that of the enemy, there had enough spells available to them.

That was more than enough.

For the ones that got involved in war, most of the spells mastered by professional mages were aningless to them. It didn’t an that these spells were useless, but they were just not needed, especially when they had Divine Power. They could get what they wanted with Divine Power, and that made many unpopular spells aningless.

These Oracles were able to increase their strength, speed, and ability of attack and defense, and they could also directly use magic to attack their enemies from long-distance. Moreover, they could unite together and cast so powerful combined spells.

That was certainly enough. At least they could use more spells than Sui Xiong’s mass-produced Oracles.

To be honest, Sui Xiong’s Oracles were weaker.

Compared to these Fear ssengers, even the most powerful mass-produced Oracles were weaker. As for the weakest, destroyer-type Oracles, they would be just cannon fodder if they t the Fear ssengers. They would be killed as easily as cutting vegetables.

But Sui Xiong didn’t care.

If there was a gap in power, he could make up for it with a larger number of Oracles. The mass-produced Oracles were originally a kind of military force that won the fight through their sheer quantity. As long as the advantage of quantity could make up for the disadvantage of power, there would be no problem.

Judging from the current situation, it might work.

Sui Xiong did not intend to study carefully how terrible the frontline battles were when the two sides t; instead, he paid close attention to the demarcation line between the red sea of fire and the black cloud.

Since the eting of the two sides, the demarcation line had almost remained in the sa place without moving.

That was good. Sui Xiong was quite satisfied.

More importantly, he could clearly feel that the dark cloud of the other side consuming great amounts of Divine Power every second, and so was the revival of their dead Oracles. Compared to that, the consumption of Sui Xiong’s Divine Power was much less because he just needed to light the fire in the sky and draw magic power from other places to supply him; that was all.

The distribution of magic power in the Main Plane was wonderful. The magic concentration at sea level was the lowest, and then it increased gradually from there. At this mont, they were fighting in the sky, so the concentration of magic power was quite high. Thus, Sui Xiong just needed to dispatch so magic power from nearby, and that would be enough to support the burning of the fire.

As for the mass-produced Oracles, they were not supported by Sui Xiong’s Divine Power. Instead, they were created by the power of the fire. After their deaths in the fight, their remains would be collected back in the fire and beco the source of the production of more Oracles.

The sea of fire was like a cruel and rigorous war machine, constantly producing tools then recycling the damaged tools into raw materials for the further production of new ones.

The fire collected not only those dead mass-produced Oracles but also so dead Fear ssengers.

Although not large in number, there were indeed so Fear ssengers swallowed by the fire after death. They were transford into energy for the mass-produced Oracles.

Because of that, Sui Xiong knew sothing about how the God of Fear created his Oracles and the secret behind it.

To be honest, Sui Xiong was sowhat disappointed.

The Fear ssengers were shoddily made without any amazingly exquisite feelings. They were designed based on the legendary priests, and their physical fitness was slightly enhanced. The God of Fear eliminated most of the unnecessary spells of the legendary priests and finally made these Fear ssengers.

The God of Fear apparently didn’t put much effort into the creation of his Oracles. Perhaps in his view, these Oracles that could be revived after death with sufficient Divine Power deserved no special attention from him. However, Sui Xiong saw sothing special in them.

It was carelessness.

This leader of the evil gods was kind of careless.

That was not a big problem since Sui Xiong was sowhat careless too. But the God of Fear was too careless in small things, or in other words, there were too few things that deserved his attention.

In terms of creating Oracles, the God of Fear was the most careless among the gods that Sui Xiong had known. At least, in Sui Xiong’s opinion, there was room for further optimization of the Fear ssengers. If they could be fully optimized, their fighting power could be increased by at least 30%!

It was definitely worth a try, but the God of Fear didn’t pay attention to that at all.

Thus, Sui Xiong thought that this leader of the evil gods was not only careless but also not so popular among other gods.

If Sui Xiong found that there were obvious defects in the design of his friend’s Oracles and there was room for substantial improvent, he would surely tell his friend about it and help him improve his Oracles.

But apparently, the God of Fear didn’t have such a friend, and his subordinates had never made such a suggestion either.

It was sowhat tragic for such a leader!

Sui Xiong sighed in his heart while thinking about what he was going to do next.

He dared to bet that the God of Fear would never let go of this easily. The huge Oracle army here might just be a cover for his real intentions, and this evil great Divine Power must have other plans.

It was easy to co to that conclusion. Since the Oracle army of the God of Fear failed to defeat Sui Xiong here, he would have to find other ways to win against Sui Xiong.

Although he didn’t do anything until now, he would definitely do sothing as long as he was not a fool.

Then, what would he do? Sui Xiong had several ideas in his mind.

First, he might directly attack Void City.

The real intention of the God of Fear was not to kill the Void Mask, because that would be an epic task with a difficulty degree of at least five stars. He should aim for letting the humans know that he was powerful so as to spread more fear among them.

This was easy to see since this was determined by the God of Fear’s clergy.

Then based on that aim, this would be the most proper way to directly attack Void City.

Everyone knew that Sui Xiong valued Void City very much. Thus, if the God of Fear could destroy this city, even if it couldn’t hurt Sui Xiong badly, it would still make Sui Xiong angry and sad. That could be taken as the God of Fear’s achievent.

It was a sha for a great Divine Power to attack mortals; that was against the identity of a god. However, was the God of Fear a god who valued others’ opinions and always did the right things?

As far as Sui Xiong had known, he was not. So this was the most possible choice for him.

However, Sui Xiong was not scared of that at all.

As the saying went, think of failure before victory. This was common sense for those who knew anything about strategy. One should think about how to deal with their possible failure in the war before it started. Although Sui Xiong was an art student, he had seen many novels and movies about wars, so he had common sense. Even if the God of Fear really broke the boundary of Void City and attacked the mortals there, this despicable god would only lose his face in vain and gain nothing beneficial to him!

If the God of Fear really ca to attack Void City, Sui Xiong would be relaxed and give a thumbs-up to his stupid choice.

Second, the God of Fear might also plan to unite the evil gods to launch a sudden attack on Sui Xiong. Although the power of one god’s clone was not as strong as Sui Xiong, things would be quite different if more than a dozen god’s clones joined hands together against him in the fight.

In those years when Sui Xiong tried to soothe the hatred with various efforts in the Orc Empire and to punish those aggressive robbers, he was defeated by the Orc gods in this way. At that ti, Sui Xiong suffered a great loss. He was completely defeated in the fight and ran away, embarrassed.

The God of Fear knew about that, so he might attack Sui Xiong in the sa way.

However, Sui Xiong was not worried about that, either.

As the Chinese saying went, after three days of absence, the scholar has to be looked at with new eyes. Sui Xiong was much different from the past. If the evil gods sent their clones to form a joint attack against Sui Xiong, Sui Xiong didn’t mind showing his real power to let them know what an unconquerable god looked like.

Sui Xiong thought that if he couldn’t beat them up badly enough so that even their mothers couldn’t recognize them, then he would at least carve his na into their minds.

These guys had thought they were hunters, so Sui Xiong really wanted to see what expression they would have when they finally realized that they had made the wrong decision and beca the hunted.

That would be very interesting!

The third choice for the God of Fear was probably to pretend to attack Void City and secretly make a joint attack on the sanctuary.

That would also be possible. After all, a God’s Kingdom was the real foundation of a god. As long as the sanctuary was attacked, Sui Xiong would suffer a great loss. Even though he didn’t officially beco a god now and wouldn’t fall to a lower level of clergy, he would inevitably be badly hurt.

But Sui Xiong was not afraid of that either.

The sanctuary was firmly built and close to the Main Plane. If really sothing did happen, Sui Xiong could manage to go there with his allies quickly.

What they should do then was just transfer the battlefield from the Main Plane to the outside of the sanctuary. The war between the gods’ clones would be upgraded to a war between the gods’ nounons.

This was nothing serious, so why should he be scared?

If that was really the case, Sui Xiong was not sure of winning, but at least he didn’t think he would lose.

It would be nothing more than putting all he had into the fight. In those years, in the newly built sanctuary, Sui Xiong had helped the Desolation God System successfully defend against the attack of the War God System. Now, the sanctuary was firr, and Sui Xiong had more friends and allies. It was just that his enemy changed from the War God System to the relatively weaker God of Fear. Why should Sui Xiong be scared?

Besides these three ways, the God of Fear might also have so other strange and tricky thods. But after thinking for a bit, Sui Xiong didn’t think he should be worried.

Moreover, who said he had to wait for the God of Fear to take action first?

The giant jellyfish showed a slightly cunning smile and waved his tentacles.

In the sea of fire, the golden dots gradually erged and turned into girls who dressed and were ard in different ways from the mass-produced Oracles.

These were his really powerful subordinates, the Oracles of the elite level.

“Go ahead!” Sui Xiong waved his tentacles, giving them strong protective abilities and greatly enhancing their fighting power and ability of survival. “Achieve victory before dawn!”
