I’ve been digging into the lore about Priestess and Oracle in Arknights. Their relationship seems complex. Priestess claims she learned about Originium from Oracle, but then takes credit for inventing it. Oracle seems to have different plans for Originium than Priestess does.
Some key points I’m trying to understand:
- Did Priestess hide her true intentions for Originium from Oracle?
- Why does Oracle seem confused about Originium’s effects if they understood it better than Priestess?
- What exactly was Oracle’s ‘betrayal’ that they mention to Kal’tsit?
- How much control does Priestess actually have over the Originium and Assimilated Universe?
The dialogues between them are cryptic. Priestess talks about covering everything in Originium, while Oracle wanted it to be a beacon of hope for future civilizations.
I’m trying to piece together their history and motivations. Any thoughts on making sense of their relationship and plans based on the lore we have so far?
As someone who’s spent way too many hours poring over Arknights lore, I think I can shed some light on the Priestess-Oracle dynamic. From what I’ve gathered, their relationship is a classic case of knowledge transfer gone wrong.
Oracle likely shared some initial insights about Originium with Priestess, but Priestess took that knowledge and ran with it in a direction Oracle never intended. The ‘betrayal’ Oracle mentions to Kal’tsit probably refers to Priestess twisting Originium’s purpose.
Oracle seems to have envisioned Originium as a tool for advancement and hope, while Priestess saw it as a means of control and transformation. This fundamental disagreement likely led to their falling out.
As for Priestess’s level of control, I suspect it’s less than she claims. Her grand statements about covering everything in Originium might be more aspiration than reality. The Assimilated Universe seems to be a work in progress, not a fully realized vision.
Ultimately, I think Priestess and Oracle represent two competing philosophies about the use of power and technology. Their story serves as a cautionary tale about the potential for knowledge to be misused when motivations aren’t aligned.
The Priestess-Oracle relationship is indeed a tangled web. From my analysis of the lore, it appears Priestess initially learned about Originium from Oracle but then developed her own ambitious plans. Oracle’s confusion about Originium’s effects suggests they may have underestimated its potential or Priestess’s capabilities.
The ‘betrayal’ Oracle mentions likely refers to Priestess pursuing a far more radical agenda than Oracle had envisioned. While Oracle saw Originium as a beacon of hope, Priestess seems to view it as a tool for widespread transformation and control.
Regarding Priestess’s level of control, it’s probable she has significant influence over Originium and the Assimilated Universe, but perhaps not absolute mastery. Her grandiose claims may be part bravado, part aspiration.
Ultimately, their diverging visions for Originium’s role in shaping civilization appear to be at the heart of their complex and fractured relationship.
u kno, both priestess and oracle had their own hidden plans. priestess seemed to use oracle’s info for her own gains, and maybe oracle didn’t have the full picture after all. lots of mystery remains till more lore drops out
