Cladema was worrying about his gains and losses in his nest. The incarnation he had worked hard on for many years was fighting with Sui Xiong on the red star Yin Chen.
In other words, his avatar was fighting with the Oracles that could regenerate that Sui Xiong created.
In regards to the individual strength of the Oracles, even elite Oracles couldn’t beat Cladema’s incarnation, which had eroded and been transformed by the power of the red star, let alone the regular Oracles. But as the saying went, quantitative changes could make qualitative changes, and when the numbers of those Oracles reached a certain level, the situation would be totally different.
The black dragon that had been eroded by the red star roared constantly and spewed acid with a strong toxicity and corrosiveness. Every time it spewed, it covered a fan-shaped area with a radius of at least 330 feet, which was horrible.
If such an attack was used in modern times, it could kill thousands of people, or even more, at one time. If the crowd was dense enough, for example, if a group of enthusiastic foreigners had been watching a fireworks show on a national holiday, such an attack could have killed more than ten thousand people.
However, such an attack was nothing to the Oracles. They weren’t afraid of the toxicity, because they had been created based on the negative energy, and only the corrosiveness of acid could harm them. Although the fortress and battleship Oracles who were in the front lines as meat shields weren’t tall, their vitality and endurance were very powerful. If they were sprayed by the acid, there would only be small wounds on their faces or bodies. According to the game these Oracles had come from, at best, those wounds would only be called a ‘troublesome’ degree, which was still far from “complete break” or even “sink.”
If that was all, more acid would be enough to kill the Oracles, but Sui Xiong sneered and sent out a group of new Oracles.
These new Oracles wore thin clothes and looked like fashion models, holding weapons that looked like water guns in their hands. Instead of going to the front lines, they just stood near the aircraft Oracles and fired at the aircraft Oracles with their water guns.
Treatment guns.
They were one of the special types of Oracles—the supplying warship Oracles. They had no fighting ability and wouldn’t turn into invincible heroes when they were enraged at being defeated several times. They only had one skill, which was treatment.
Oracles didn’t need a supply of ammunition or fuel, because ammunition and fuel were manifestations of power for them, and as long as they had sufficient power, they didn’t have to worry about the whether the amount was enough or not. But most of the Oracles didn’t have self-healing abilities, and even if some of them did, their self-healing abilities weren’t strong, so Sui Xiong had specially designed this kind of Oracle, which could do nothing but heal. Their main task was to treat injured Oracles on the battlefield so that they could fight longer.
Facts had proven that this kind of warship Oracle worked very well on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, the treatment ability of this kind of Oracles only worked for Oracles. Otherwise, Sui Xiong’s clergy could have completely relied on the method of summoning Oracles to solve their problem of insufficient self-healing abilities.
With the help of these warship Oracles, the heavily equipped Oracles at the front lines could live longer, and as long as they weren’t defeated by a sudden attack, the battlefront of Oracles wouldn’t collapse. Even if the black dragon used powerful means to defeat one, or a group of, Oracles, it couldn’t directly turn the tide of the war.
In the negative energy that had turned into a deep black sea, new Oracles were created constantly. Their increasing numbers could make up for the losses on the front lines.
The increasing numbers of enemies was a terrible thing, even if sufficient ants could kill an elephant, similar to the increasing numbers of Oracles.
This was the situation that the black dragon was faced with. What was worse, it played the role of the elephant that was bitten by the ants.
If it hadn’t been eroded to the point of losing its mind, leaving only a blank impulse to destroy and a fanaticism for fighting, it would have fled using its wings.
Artillery fire burst onto the black dragon. The artillery shells, torpedoes, and bombs dropped by the aircraft Oracles were all black, and there were no bright sparks. All that could be seen was a gloomy mass of black gas.
It was the gloomy black gas that had left many deep scars on the black dragon. Although its self-healing ability was very powerful, it couldn’t heal all the wounds on its body. Almost every time it healed two wounds on its body, three new wounds would appear. Before long, its body was filled with wounds that made it look miserable.
But Sui Xiong knew that such injuries were nothing to the black dragon.
The black dragon had no weak part on its body. Unless its body was damaged so severely that it was in fragments or completely destroyed, it would recover from its injuries given the time it needed to rest.
But Sui Xiong couldn’t give it the time to rest!
As the saying went, ‘it was wise to chase poor aggressors bravely,’ so just then was the time to pursue and win!
Sui Xiong waved his tentacles, and another batch of Oracles were summoned, merging into the army that had already formed on the front lines.
“No matter what you are, if you dare to cause trouble in my land, you’d better be prepared for me to kill you!”
Sui Xiong looked coldly at the black dragon that was thrown into a panic at his attack. Numerous strange dark purple patterns appeared on its body due to the transformation of negative energy.
Looking carefully, these patterns were magic arrays linked with one another, and it was with their help that Sui Xiong could summon so many Oracles.
This was also a skill he had learned from the Dragon of Chaos. Sui Xiong couldn’t automatically create a large number of summoning arrays on the ground, so he had changed his method to build a summoning array on his body that corresponded with the surrounding environment, so as to achieve the effect of a large-scale summoning.
Compared to the full automatic summoning of the Dragon of Chaos, Sui Xiong’s skill was much less efficient and easier to interrupt, but it worked for him to some degree, just like some underdeveloped countries grit their teeth and held back their efforts in order to produce powerful weapons. Although they may not have been able to use their weapons when fighting with other countries, it was a grand way to solve the problems of “yes” and “no” and “how to use weapons.”
This could be seen in when a country that had cried for a greater food supply every year due to poverty suddenly developed a powerful weapon and became proud, with full spirits and loud voices. They had even exclaimed that they were the strongest country moving forward and that they would also take on a policy of reforming and opening up.
This was the best example!
Looking at the black dragon, if it had the similar ability to that poor country, it wouldn’t have been beaten so badly.
Sui Xiong laughed coldly and continued summoning Oracles.
He wasn’t sure whether the black dragon had the ability to explode its avatar and perish along with its enemy or not, so he decided to kill it with more Oracles. The number of Oracles he could mass produce was infinite. As long as Sui Xiong had enough power, he could summon as many as possible.
“Come on, show me how long you can hold up!”
Sui Xiong sneered at the black dragon whose body was full of injuries and whose movements had slowed down.
