Chapter 2114 An Incredible Conclusion

"What's wrong? Why did you stop?"

Zod looked at the fist that had stopped in front of him, opened his arms, and wore what he thought was a mocking smile.

"Do you still intend to...?"

"I just have no interest in beating up someone whose smile is more like a cry." Blaze withdrew his fist and retreated step by step, his slow pace finally allowing Ripple to keep up.

"I'm pondering the fundamental questions: Why are you standing before me? What do you want to do? This is extremely important."

"You have fallen, betraying your past self who wanted to save the orcs and made a promise of peace to them. You have become an evil being. You should welcome the priests and reign once again on the throne made of the orcs' ashes."

“You’ve gone mad. You’d be willing to destroy everything you’ve saved in order to get revenge on that 0.1% that destroyed everything you had, but you didn’t.”

“You gave up, you lost interest in everything, and you didn’t care even if the orcish territory suffered another disaster. But then you showed up here.”

"After eliminating all the wrong options, the one that remains, no matter how incredible, will be the correct answer."

"You are still saving the orcs."

Although it was the answer he had guessed, he still found it hard to believe when he actually said it aloud, yet it seemed to be true.

Human nature is complex, but the consequences of people's actions are simple, clear, and straightforward.

Zod helped them defeat the Great Red Dragon Beast God.

This is the result. Even if he stayed in the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire, he could not defeat the Great Red Dragon Beast God who coexisted with the totem. Perhaps it would be an overwhelming victory at first, but after the Great Red Dragon Beast God entered the second stage, they were helpless.

Even if they continue to stall thanks to the ogre's special state, and even if they gain a significant advantage on the surface, they will ultimately be delayed until the Great Red Dragon Beast God resonates with the Great Red Dragon Totem and thus becomes a god.

It was Zod who brought him to this place and connected his totem with the Great Red Dragon totem using the dragon veins, thus giving the Silver Wolf Great Beast God a great deal of power from the Great Red Dragon Beast God's body.

Although the activities of the outsiders in the orcish territory brought prestige and forged countless threads connecting the two totems, these were all indirect, and the connection was still too tangled.

The truly decisive factor was the challenge issued to him by the Griffin King.

In the Griffin King's memory, the person wearing a priest's robe who pointed towards the lion totem was also Zod. It was because of Zod's guidance that the Griffin King transformed from the original Sin Beast King into a pure Beast King.

If the Griffin King were the original Sin Beast King, Blaze would never have accepted the Griffin King's challenge, much less crushed and absorbed the Griffin King's soul flame.

It was the connection from the Griffin King that truly linked his totem with the Great Red Dragon totem.

Perhaps just as they guessed, the high priests' target was always Greenland. Even the high priests knew that his compatibility with the Great Red Dragon was far from that of the Great Beast God they expected. So from the beginning, it was Zod who connected his totem with the Great Red Dragon totem.

This was done in order to defeat the Great Red Dragon Beast God.

"correct answer."

Zod smiled, then bent over wearily, his back hunched, his body bent, yet his spine remained straight. Bones always exude a cold, pale aura, but this spine radiated majesty and dominance, more like a divine dragon soaring towards the heavens than bones.

That is the dragon vein's spine, and also the source of the Great Beast God's power.

The dragon coiled in the underground lake let out mournful roars that traveled from the depths of the dragon vein all the way to the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire.

The entire Great Beast God's Flame Cup began to tremble. The remains of the Great Red Dragon Beast God screamed and roared, trying to reignite the flames, but the Silver Wolf Great Beast God, who held an absolute advantage, opened its arms to welcome the approaching spring rain.

This spring rain will bring new life, wash away the filth on the dragon vein, and reveal its true and correct form. The Great Red Dragon Beast God, born from error, and the creature born from the Great Red Dragon Beast God will both dissolve in this spring rain.

Upon hearing those dragon roars, Blaze understood that Zod had never been the one who occupied the source of the dragon veins, but rather the master of the source.

The Great Beast God's Flame Cup... it's just a cup. What else can a cup hold besides water?

Blaze reached out and touched the water droplets of the underground lake that were gradually rising to the surface. When did he begin to have this prejudice that Zod must be the enemy from the very first moment?

Zod never actually showed any hostility. He only appeared in front of him once or twice and said a few words of advice, but he regarded Zod as an enemy and even threw a punch after learning Zod's name.

Is it because he has seen too many enemies like this and has become accustomed to it?
No, that's not how it works...

"The process and the answer are correct, but the beginning is wrong... That's what I mean, but I don't think I can understand that this is not entirely my fault. You... deliberately acted like you had ill intentions, especially just now."

"If you want to help the orcs and save this land, why don't you just come and cooperate with us? Are you trying to test us? To see if we really want to help the orc territory, or if we are just after the power of the dragon vein?"

Blazer paused, then shook his head.

"No, more than these questions... what I really want to know is, how did you manage to persevere?"

My friend died, my lover died, my friend's descendants died, and even my own descendants died.

Suddenly, the world was filled with unfamiliar faces, and the promises made seemed impossible to fulfill. In the process, he himself was even distorted, becoming the great beast god worshipped by the savage orcs.

Even after all this, Zod persisted, continuing to do the same things as before, without deviating from the path he had taken.

Why would he be suspicious of this? Isn't this a good thing?

Because he had experienced a lot, he learned a sad truth.

There will be more and more reasons to give up, and fewer and fewer reasons to persevere. In the end, it will seem incredible to persevere no matter what happens.

Those who are fixated on something haven't strayed from the path they yearn for and insist on; they simply don't know where to go anymore.

Zod looked at Blazer, whose youthful appearance was slowly fading with age.

“I… couldn’t hold on any longer. A long, long time ago, when I was twisted into a Great Beast God by the beastmen, I couldn’t hold on any longer.”
