It also hints at: Oracle doesn't have any good news for Xykon.

What do you guys think?
Wonder that could possibly be...
Maybe that Xykon is the obvious antagonist of the story and is therefore going to be utterly destroyed by the end of the story?

Seems kind of obvious to me.





As for the philosophical stance of free will, I think it's safe to say that rules of drama allow certain contradictions and inconsistencies. On the one hand we see many prophecies brought out by gods* who apparently are able to see things years possibly decades in advance.

Yet on the other hand, we also see gods are fallible and can be deceived by lesser entities for example the IFCC vs Tiamat.





* I think all the oracles we've seen were divine in nature. The Kobold, the blind woman in Azure City and the priest of Odin were all divine.

The one exception is the prophecy of the guy with the goatee, but we never saw how Eugene learned about it.
