Chapter 435 - 201: Seven Categories of Miracles (Dare Not Ask)

"Crack!"
"Glala!"
The stone carvings on the church made noise, as shadows descended from the sky, transforming into 3-meter-tall Stone Guardians.
They wielded double-handed axes, and though their bodies were made of stone, the Miracle Power protected these Guardians, endowing them with primary physical resistance, elemental resistance, as well as immunity to psychic and life energy attacks.
"Roar!!"
Above, the metallic sculptures that had been suspended in mid-air opened their wings, took flight, and circled in the air, turning out to be 20 Black Gold Gargoyles.
These Gargoyles were about the size of an adult human, but had slender arms and a flat body, resembling a vampire-transformed humanoid bat, looking quite ferocious and ugly.
[Stone Guardians]
Level: Ordinary
Quantity: 50
[Black Gold Gargoyles]
Level: Ordinary
Quantity: 20
These data were developed by Lilith using a special magic ’Scouting Technique,’ which now almost every person from Yatun had at their disposal.
It simplified troop classification into Ordinary, Extraordinary, Transcendent, and Heroic based on the standard of Miracle Power.
For those higher than Heroic, due to the existence of a single Awakening, it was hard to distinguish.
To put it simply, there were special protections and methods of concealment in place, such that even a Legendary Warrior, unless they underwent Hero Liberation, would only be rated as ’Heroic Level’ by the Scouting Technique.
This wasn’t because the Scouting Technique was inadequate, but rather because the sensory methods on the Miracle Mainland were only capable of so much.
Everyone hid themselves, with some even inherently possessing ’information shielding’ and ’inability to determine’ as Miracle passive abilities.
What use then could there be for mere Scouting and Sensing Techniques?
"What, just Ordinary Level?"
When in Rome, do as the Romans do—Asura and the others had also accepted Yatun’s classification system.
"Isn’t this too embarrassing?"
What was frustrating for Asura was that he, the progenitor of the Tianjin God Clan and an Awakened Miracle Entity, actually had to be serious against a bunch of Ordinary Level Miracle Troop Types.
Worse still, both the Stone Guardians and the Black Gold Gargoyles were living beings, the very bottom of the Miracle Troop Type system.
Living Saint, Divine Being, Heroic Spirits, Beast Series, Soul Category, Frenzied Breed, Living Beings.
The seven classifications of Miracle Troop Types could fit almost all troop types into one of these categories.
Contaminated Species were equivalent to the Frenzied Breed, and senseless creations like the Gargoyles belonged to the Living Beings.
The mightiest Living Saints possessed power that transcended troop type limitations.
As for the Divine Beings, Heroic Spirits, Beast Series, and Soul Category...
Just to give some examples, General Ganglie, Aolai Kong belonged to the Divine Beings, with inherent divinity.
The warriors of Avalon were part of the Heroic Spirits, and the fairies belonged to the Beast Series.
The Soul Category often referred to beings without physical bodies, only consisting of thought forms, consciousness, or spiritual entities.
Generally speaking, among the seven categories, other than the Living Saints being particularly strong, and the Contaminated Species and Living Beings being particularly weak, there were no big differences in strength. Each had its own strengths and weaknesses.
Living Beings and Frenzied Breeds were the worst types of troops—mostly fodder-like Offspring of Miracle who joined battles and were not taken seriously by the Master of Miracles.
The Soul Category and Beast Series each had their shortcomings; the former lacked a physical body, and the latter lacked humanoid form.
The Soul Category and Beast Series might be strong early on, but lacked potential for growth, with most only able to reach Heroic Level.
However, due to the low difficulty of training the Soul Category and Beast Series, they often served as the main force in armies and nations, important members of the Miracle Citizens.
Heroic Spirits and Divine Beings had their own strengths and represented the elite of the elite, almost the core and backbone of a nation.
Of course, this did not mean that there would not be members of the Soul Category or Beast Series who could rival Divine Beings.
And the final category, the Living Saints, naturally ranked among the most elite.
For any Master of Miracles who gained a Living Saint, it meant an unobstructed path of triumph—for whatever the highest level of your subordinates was, the Living Saint would surely reach it, with nary a bottleneck to speak of.
"Living Beings."
Asura: "Shouldn’t there at least be a few Divine Beings?"
Defeating Living Beings, what’s the difference between that and crushing bugs?
Living Beings lacked self-awareness, much like destroying a few robots; for someone like Asura, who enjoyed battle, fighting Living Beings was utterly uninteresting.
"You’re the one who wanted to show off," Yellow Spring urged from behind. "Aren’t you done yet? How long do you expect Our Lord to wait?"

"Tsk."
Asura evidently detested Yellow Spring.
"Gaah!!"
It was at this moment that the Gargoyles sensed the presence of the intruders.
It was the Miracle Power, and the person who had created them clearly had given them instructions—upon encountering Miracle Power, immediately go on alert.
"So annoying."
Dissatisfied, Asura scolded, lifting his head as his left eye, originally pitch black, suddenly turned a pale blue: "Word Spirit!"
"Boom!"
The invisible Miracle Power, with Asura at its center, spread out in all directions.
"Clink, clink, clink."
Under this force, the Stone Guardians and Gargoyles disintegrated on their own, eventually turning into dust that dissipated into the air and was carried away by the wind.
"So weak!"
Asura was internally devastated, "Why are they so weak?"
What happened to the grand show they promised him? Was this it?
"Are there any more? Where are the others?!"
Asura released a terrifying Miracle Power, the force of a Crowned Hero, which made heaven and earth change color.

Having been a mortal all his life, Asura always wanted to obtain the Miracle Power, and then go even further.
But fortune treated him kindly, not only had he obtained the Miracle Power, but he had also become the Miracle Entity itself.
Powerful!
Asura had never imagined that he could become so powerful!
Every move he made seemed to grasp everything in the palm of his hand, enemies he once had to face with solemnity, now, he could extinguish them with a flick of his fingers.
"Why are there only Ordinary Level ones, such a huge church but only a few pieces of Ordinary Level trash, and the weakest living guardians at that?"
Asura searched carefully but found nothing, which added to his disappointment and dissatisfaction.
"What else could it be?"
Yellow Spring retorted, "What do you want?"
"Where are the heroes? Where are the heroes?!"
Asura: "There isn’t even one decent hero here?"
"Have you lost your mind?"
Yellow Spring: "How could there possibly be any heroes here for you to fight?"
"You say there’s none, and there’s none?!"
However, before he could finish speaking, Asura suddenly fell to the ground, with Bailuo walking past him: "If there are no heroes, just say it earlier. Just a few Gargoyles, what are you showing off for, Asura?"
"What?!"
Asura looked up; the slap just now had been delivered by Bailuo: "Then, that battle at the Ancient City..."
"Lyon’s home game," Bailuo said, "You wouldn’t want me to assign you tasks in the future and have someone else take your job, would you?"
"Uh..."
Asura really wanted to show off in front of Bailuo, but Bailuo was right, this was Lyon’s home game.
Imagine, if Asura eagerly took on a task in the future but it was snatched away by Lyon halfway through, it would be extremely frustrating.
"Then, why’d you hit me?"
Asura was a bit naive, with no reservations, almost like a child who’d been ’hit’ by an elder.
"If I don’t hit you," Bailuo said, "you’d go berserk."
Asura was the most violent in temperament of the Lu Wei Family; his power was immense, second only to Ghost Princess, which meant that Asura needed to restrain his power.
But this kid had zero self-discipline, so Bailuo had no choice but to slap the back of his head.
"Next, don’t speak," Bailuo said, "Yellow Spring is in charge."
"Yellow Spring?!"
Asura’s eyes widened, glaring at his sister: ’This guy, stealing my thunder again!’
"Hmph."
Yellow Spring gave a disdainful snort, casually pushing Asura to the side, following Bailuo’s steps: "Go chill over there, you brute."
