Throne of the North.

Chapter 699 The Beastman Emperor (Part 5)
The gods had actually descended upon the Terror Rhino Beastman tribe.

Snowflakes fall from the sky, and the earth is a vast expanse of white. In this scene, werewolves and rhinoceros-like beastmen stand in confrontation, while between the sky and the earth, a majestic divine light connects the deep earth and the boundless sky like a storm.

Shattered Bones emerged from the divine radiance, channeling its overflowing divine essence into the elephant-beastmen who followed it, and then sharing a portion with Savi in ​​the distance, causing the latter to become extremely excited.

In an era where the gods no longer respond to orcs, this divine favor is the ultimate political correctness.

Orcs have no concept of political correctness; they are primitive and savage, yet they revere the will of the gods even more.

"A legend, it has become a legend!"

Savi stared in shock at the broken bones. Through repeated sacrifices, this weak creature had become as powerful as him. More importantly, it was the blessing of the gods that made it a legend.

This is no easy task. Legends require legendary gifts. If a god wants to create a legend, he must part with a portion of his authority and transform it into a source similar to a legendary gift.

In short, the legends created by the gods, to a certain extent, represent the human form of the gods themselves, the embodiment of their will.

Looking down at the battlefield where the dire rhinoceros orcs and werewolves were locked in combat, Shattered Bones roared:

"I hereby declare, in the will of the gods, that Bonebreaker will lead the orcs to victory over the humans of the south, seize the warm lands of the south, and grant the orcs a new kingdom!"

"The orcs will have an endless supply of food in the south!"

The first sentence was hard to understand, but the second sentence was crystal clear. The orcs went crazy and let out their loudest roars.

……

The werewolf army retreated.

This was the first time that the meeting between werewolves and dire rhinoceros orcs did not erupt into bloodshed, but it was the worst outcome among countless battles.

The werewolves who returned to the Silvermoon Royal Court were filled with panic, and the leaders of the various werewolf clans were equally worried.

The orc tribal civilization is the closest to human civilization.

Werewolves... don't actually obey the will of the gods as absolutely as other orcs.

Ultimately, it's the change brought about by strength. Werewolves are able to live better than other orcs in the Northern Lands because they can hunt for food more easily.

When the demand is low, the attitude towards deities will naturally be different.

Of course, this does not mean that werewolves disregard the gods. Powerful werewolves are even more aware of the gods' terror. They are not devout because of the issue of inheritance, but because of their power.

"what to do?"

Surprisingly, there was no more sarcasm or constant baring of teeth within the Silver Moon Royal Court.

The werewolf clan leaders are all pretty smart, as was the case with the dire rhinoceros orc leader, Savi.

Of the six royal families of the orcs, if one of them were to be replaced by the Dreadnoughts, the werewolves, who have now lost their Silvermoon werewolf king, would be the best choice.

With six out of six, the Silver Moon Royal Court is the one left.

How could I possibly agree to that?
With the formidable enemy, the rhinoceros, in the face of danger, the werewolf lost all other thoughts and remained silent in the stone palace.

"If Hati were still here..."

"Damn humans!"

"Kill them!"

The werewolf clan leaders were each making a fuss, reminiscing about their werewolf king who had died a few years ago; Hati was the wisest among them.

"What would Hati do if he were still alive?"

Hati is intelligent, and it rarely solves problems through violence; the werewolves' eyes darted around.

They are cunning.

"Does the Behemoth royal family want to once again become the Behemoth Emperor and lead the orcs to attack humanity?"

One werewolf spoke, and the others grinned, letting out cold laughs.

“That ‘Bone Shatterer’ is such an ugly name. It also wants to become the Beastman King. I wonder if the Behemoth royal family will agree.”

"If we could crush that Behemoth to death with one stomp, that would be ideal. Then we could seize its carcass and offer it as a sacrifice to the great gods in exchange for their attention."

"Just do it!"

"No one can take away the Silver Moon Royal Court's position."

The next day, the werewolf pack sent werewolves to the Behemoth royal family to tell them that the werewolves would not choose the Behemoth king because they were not favored by the will of the gods.

"The werewolves will obey the will of the great gods and make Lord 'Bonebreaker' the orc king this time, leading us to attack the human empire."

Behemoth was dumbfounded. There were no competitors among the six royal families yet, so how did the elephant-men, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, become the biggest rival? Moreover, what about the will of the gods?

"What's going on?"

King Behemoth angrily rebuked the Behemoth priests, his scepter radiating terrifying power that could easily shatter them into dust.

"Your Majesty, we don't know either."

"It is true that the great gods have indeed distanced themselves from us, and it will take them longer and from a greater distance to respond to us."

"But... but that shouldn't be the case. No orc should be able to receive the favor of the gods."

“Our priests need at least half a year to reach the kingdom of the great gods. After the gods respond, it takes another half a year for His response to reach our tribe.”

"A round trip would take at least a whole year."

The Behemoth priest was terrified. The Behemoth King's bloodlust was no joke; when he got angry, anyone could be thrown to feed the giant beasts.

"Then tell me, why is there an orc who is now favored by the gods?"

"Damn it, why now? Why does the god only favor it?"

The king of Behemoth was furious, but also deeply fearful, which gave him a sense of despair at being abandoned.

“Your Majesty, we feel that…this is unreasonable.”

"The gods have already departed, so why can they respond to prayers to Him so quickly?"

"What do you mean?"

The Behemoth King looked coldly at these priests. In the past, when they were able to worship the gods, the priests had a very high status. Now they were just a bunch of freeloaders.

The priests exchanged glances. The Behemoths looked like wild beasts, but their tacit understanding was still evident.

“We believe that the guy who is favored by the gods… he is receiving the favor of an evil god.”

"Orcs don't care who they serve."

The Behemoth King was completely unconcerned. Those weak orc tribes had no such understanding; they worshipped all sorts of random gods, and could even serve multiple gods simultaneously. "But Your Majesty, if you wish to become the Orc King, you cannot serve other great beings."

"Without the will of the gods, that orc is not qualified to become the orc king."

"Only you, the noble Behemoth King, are worthy to be the Orc King. You are the only king to lead the Orcs in their invasion of humanity."

King Behemoth was overjoyed to hear this.

“That’s right, that’s how it is. That damned elephant-man, the god it serves is not the god of us orcs.”

"I will kill it and become the king of the orcs."

King Behemoth stood up, his legendary aura surging forth, his kingly demeanor on full display. Most importantly, behind him, the 'mountain' rose up, the behemoth roaring, its booming roar echoing far and wide across the boundless northern lands.

……

The King's Court of the Rhinoceros.

With the blessing of the divine will, Savi no longer had any worries and dispatched his army of dire rhinoceros orcs to launch a large-scale campaign, forcefully bringing those orc tribes under his control.

"From this moment forward, you are vassals of the Rhinoceros Royal Court!"

Savi learned a new word from humans and became the king of the Terror Rhino Royal Court, whose noble followers were the vassal orc clan leaders.

He was full of vigor, looking at the countless orcs prostrating themselves before him, feeling that at this moment there was nothing in the world that could overpower him.

Then, in the next moment, he saw the behemoth on the distant horizon, more magnificent than any mountain peak, roaring as it came toward the court of the Terror Rhinoceros. Every footprint it left on the ground created a huge crater, and the cold snow melted into lake water under its power, which then quickly solidified into incredibly hard ice.

It transformed the land of the North, yet the ending seems not to have been entirely different.

Only during this process did the immense fear instilled by the colossal Behemoth in the Dreadnought Orcs become truly real.

"Damn it, how did the Behemoth King end up here?"

Even after becoming the King of the Rhinoceros, Savi did not believe he would be a match for the Behemoth King. Among the six great kings of the orcs, the Behemoth royal family was the evergreen and had never changed.

"What is he doing here?"

Before Savi could realize it, the Broken Bones beside him had already understood. This was because the terrifying pressure had locked onto it immediately, and all the pressure had fallen on the Broken Bones.

"I am the king of the orcs, and by the will of the great god, I will lead the orcs."

"Even the Behemoth King could not stop the will of the gods."

After figuring things out, Broken Bones relaxed and stood in front of the Dreadnought Beastman, facing the terrifying power of the Behemoth King.

……

It regrets it.

The moment it saw the Behemoth King, Broken Bone felt an even deeper, more terrifying pressure; its entire body, flesh and bones, felt as if it were about to shatter.

"You're the orc who serves the alien god?"

"You are not qualified to be the king of the orcs."

"Only the Behemoth King can lead the orcs; before the behemoth, all challengers will become its food."

King Behemoth stared intently at the broken bones; was this the challenger to its throne?
"You're too weak, you're not qualified."

King Behemoth unleashed a punch from over a thousand meters away. The enormous beast seal in the void covered Broken Bones' face. Broken Bones, who had just become a legend, didn't even have time to react before his body, weighing tons, was submerged in the snow.

The gap between legends was so vast that Shattered Bones was utterly shocked. But before he could react, the Behemoth King's next power descended, and the Behemoth roared as well, its sound surpassing even the dragon's cry.

Once again, Shattered Bone felt a deadly threat of death. It was no match for the Behemoth King. However, at this moment, the fox-human body within Shattered Bone once again burst forth with divine power, and the vast energy spread aimlessly in all directions.

The divine source overwhelmed the Behemoth King like an ocean, and the once arrogant and madly roaring Behemoth also whimpered at this moment, filled with fear and dread.

Shattered Bones emerged from the storm of [Tai Su], his cold gaze and imposing aura fixed upon King Behemoth.

The gods once again favored the fox-man cloaked in elephant-man skin. Under the uneasy and awe-inspiring gaze of countless beastmen, the strong, red-skinned elephant-man let out a sharp cry.

"I am the Orc King, favored by the great gods."

King Behemoth was unwilling and resentful, staring intently at the broken bones. He sensed that this was not the alien god the priest had spoken of, but the deity that the orcs served.

Even so, King Behemoth was still unwilling to let a piece of trash like Shattered Bones become the Beastman Emperor; all the Beastman Emperors throughout history had been Behemoth Kings.

There is no other place for orc trash.

"I want to challenge you."

King Behemoth became the challenger, and the giant beast behind him stood up again. With a roar, the wind and snow in the sky were swallowed up, and then in an instant, it spewed out, forming an awakening storm in the icy world.

Inside the storm, all the orcs were driven out, leaving only the Behemoth King and the elephant-orc 'Bonebreaker'.

As the power of blood and qi within his body continued to spread, Behemoth grew taller and taller, his fangs filled with cold magic, forming a heavy domain on the earth.

It was already close to being a demigod, and with the help of the Behemoth, it was even able to possess a unique domain.

Unrivaled within its domain, King Behemoth stared intently at Shattered Bones.

Broken bones can't do anything.

It possesses legendary power, but doesn't know how to use legendary methods. Faced with the overwhelming pressure of the world's top legendary power, Behemoth King, it can only stand there helplessly.

But that was enough. The divine power of the primordial essence allowed Shattered Bones to completely disregard the Behemoth King's domain. To the other orcs, this orc, blessed by the gods, calmly blocked all the attacks of the most powerful orc king, the Behemoth King.

Shattered Bones gradually realized that, under the protection of the divine source, there was no power that could harm him.

His head gradually rose higher, and he roared loudly:

"I am favored by the will of the gods! I am the true king of the orcs."

"I will lead the orcs to invade human lands and seize their abundant resources!"

Its roar grew louder and louder, and even the storm spewed out by the Behemoth could not suppress the momentum of the bone-crushing beast.

The Behemoth King, possessing unparalleled combat instincts, saw through Shattered Bones' predicament, but he was also extremely frustrated, as his power could not break through the divine power defense on the opponent's body.

"Why would a great being favor such a piece of trash!"

King Behemoth was unwilling, but no matter what, he would return empty-handed today.

And so... as the storm slowly subsided, all the orcs saw that the incomparably powerful Behemoth King had fled.

It runs very fast, but the Behemoth's body is so large that it cannot be hidden in the wind and snow.
