Chapter 664 The Oracle's Thoughts [Intermission]

'How annoying...'

Those were the exact thoughts of The Oracle as she gazed upon Rey Skylar from a distance.

She didn't particularly feel any animosity towards him. In fact, she really didn't feel anything about him at all. He was someone she already knew about before he arrived here, and she also knew of his accomplishments in H'Trae.

All of them were impressive... but pointless.

'The end is set in stone. I have seen it. And soon, Esme will see it as well...' The Oracle thought to herself, feeling even more annoyed at Rey's actions.

It was almost the same way a grown adult knew the answer to a problem, yet a child kept insisting on taking the wrong route.

How could a child ever know any better than an adult who has traveled that path many times?

'And... the fact that he is even fighting me...'

When he initiated his assault, she almost wanted to giggle due to the sheer stupidity of that course of action. But now... she felt differently about the whole thing.

'... So annoying.'

Rey Skylar was infinitely weaker than The Oracle. She already recognized that from the start, which was why she didn't particularly take the fight seriously.

Even now, there really wasn't a 'fight' to her.

Still... there was something very infuriating about his combat with her that incessantly got on her nerves.

'He's difficult to deal with.'

Rey was like a bug—perhaps a mosquito—who was incomparably weaker than a human. Yet, due to his weakness and smallness, he was just incredibly cumbersome to squash.

'He has a Skill on the same level as mine that prevents me from simply using my Domain as I see fit. He's very slow and weak, but he employs considerable strategy that makes his actions less predictable than I would have preferred.' The Oracle thought to herself.

There were also annoyances that vexed her.

Just as one could simply carry a code to a System without needing to build codes from scratch again, such was the purpose [Doppel].

'All Tiers of Skills and phenomena are to be recorded with it. It's not even meant to be used for combat, but it seems the Skill has somewhat been tailored to suit a host.'

Yes, it would become limited in nature—hence making the Slots only a hundred—and other limitations that the host had would reflect on the Skill.

Even after all this, the truth of the matter was known to The Oracle.

'[Doppel] is the greatest of all Primeval Skills. After all, just as it records the phenomena in this world... it has within it recorded phenomena from other worlds as well.'

The Oracle couldn't even begin to imagine just how many 'Skills' were already stored in the main [Doppel]. An unreal amount, no doubt.

'Even though this boy shouldn't have the Skill at all, I should still be grateful he does not possess the full thing. Then again, do any of us, really...?' A small smirk formed on her face as she thought of a rather funny thing.

'How exactly does someone like this fit into a board? He is already bigger than the entire set... though it seems he does not realize it yet.'

The Oracle shrugged off her thoughts of the far future and far past and decided to dwell in the present—in her fight with Rey.

'Nothing still changes...'
