Chapter 157 The Secret of the Orc Bloodline

After obtaining Louis's consent, Tiga did not hesitate at all, piercing Morgon's heart with a claw and devouring his power and bloodline.

As Morgon's aura rapidly weakened, Tiga's aura grew stronger.

To Louis and the others' surprise, the white tiger beastman's appearance also changed as his bloodline power increased.

Her facial features rapidly shifted from an animalistic shape to a more human one, and her facial hair quickly receded and disappeared, revealing snow-white skin.

Her exposed abdomen quickly lost its hair, revealing a slender waist with defined abs.

The black and white hair grew rapidly, reaching shoulder length in no time.

Only its furry tiger ears, limbs, and tail remained unchanged.

In just a short while, Tiga had become a female orc who perfectly fit Louis's stereotypes.

And Tiga truly lived up to the title of the Frostclaw tribe's number one beauty bestowed upon her by the catgirl captain. Her face, after transforming from beast form to human form, was indeed exquisitely beautiful, no less so than that of Princess Erisil.

This surprised Louis.

He thought that after the orcs purified their bloodline, their beast-like characteristics would become more pronounced.

The result was actually the opposite?

But that doesn't make sense. Tiga's previous high level of beast-like characteristics was also an external manifestation of her high bloodline purity.

Louis pondered for a long time and guessed that the appearance of the orc race evolved non-linearly.

As far as he knew, there were some very savage orc tribes whose appearance was that of animals standing upright, and these orcs generally had low potential and intelligence.

Captain Catgirl and most of the Frostclaw warriors are far stronger than these savage orcs, both in terms of potential and intelligence, yet they look more like humans.

Therefore, the appearance of orcs is not an absolute factor in proving the purity of their bloodline.

Perhaps a very, very long time ago, the beings that first created orcs were in the form of humans.

To distinguish themselves from humans, the orcs He first created likely bore many traces of bestiality.

Tiga's initial traces of bestiality may have originated from the progenitor beastmen.

To possess an appearance similar to that of the progenitor orcs, the purity of their bloodline has become ridiculously atavistic.

If it evolves further on this basis—could it be that Tiga's bloodline has begun to move closer to the direction of the orcish creator?

Of course, all of the above are just Louis's speculations.

Moreover, such speculation would be enough to revive Mr. Darwin.

But there's no way around it; true gods exist in this world, and races like humans and orcs may not have evolved naturally. Louis's guess has a considerable probability.

To check the purity of Tiga's bloodline, Louis secretly activated the special identification method included in the "Slave Heart Lock" and checked the orc girl's racial stats.

As Louis expected, Tiga's base stats had reached 62 and were still slowly increasing.

Previously, Tiga's base stats cap was only around 60, with her limit being the peak of a demigod. But now, she has the opportunity to touch the threshold of a true god.

The purification of her bloodline greatly enhanced her abilities.

As for why a mere Morgon with mediocre talent could purify Tiga's bloodline once again?

Louis wasn't quite sure either; perhaps it was related to the special rules of the orc race.

It's also possible that Tiga simply had good absorption skills, which brought out the ancestral factors in the Morgon bloodline that the original owner had not yet discovered.

Ten minutes later, Tiga completely drained Morgaon, and her strength improved dramatically.

Judging from her aura, she is no less powerful than Dina, who is under the "blessing of the sun," and this is only Tiga's current base speed.

Opening her eyes, Tiga slowly withdrew her claws from Morgaon's chest.

It was at this moment that she noticed the change in her appearance and subconsciously touched her fair and delicate face.

"So, even after my bloodline continues to purify, my body will still undergo these changes?"

The change in appearance was clearly something Tiga herself hadn't expected.

Her blank expression, combined with her exquisite and noble appearance, made her seem quite adorable.

However, Tiga was, after all, a pure warrior, and did not care much about her appearance, so she soon stopped caring.

She turned her gaze to Louis and said solemnly, "Captain Louis, thank you so much for helping our Frostclaw clan eliminate the traitor Morgon!"

"My entire Frostclaw tribe and I owe you a tremendous favor. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything we can do for you!"

Louis smiled and waved his hand, but made no request.

In fact, he did have one request: he wanted Tiga to join the team.

While the white tiger girl is trustworthy, only when she truly joins the team can the two sides fully trust each other.

However, Louis did not want to take advantage of Tiga's kindness. If he forced Tiga to join the team in this way, even if she joined, it would create a rift between them.

He got down to business.

"When Erihil and the others ask later, we'll turn the tables and say that Young Chief Tiga further stimulated his bloodline power during the battle, which greatly increased his combat strength."

"With the current strength of the young clan leader Tiga, plus Dina at her strongest, there is almost a chance that they can defeat Morgon."

Louis pinched a small slit between his index finger and thumb.

He said that the possibility is indeed true.

But how likely is it that Tiga and Dina can defeat Morga with their current strength?

Of course, the probability is not high; it's less than one in a thousand.

Only if Morgen accumulates all the buffs such as "losing his mind," "underestimating the enemy," "deliberately suppressing his strength," and "villains die from talking too much," plus friendship, bonds, and the like, can he possibly win.

If Tiga hadn't suddenly become stronger, Louis would have even planned to make up an excuse that Morgon had run away because of something.

But as long as there is such a possibility, that's enough.

He told Ignis and the Erisil team this, whether they believed it or not, it couldn't be proven false.

If Ignis still possesses the magic to recreate past scenes, then Louis would be speechless; he would be exposed no matter what.

But this old man can't possibly be that omnipotent, can he?

As Louis looked at the confession, he suddenly realized that Morgon, whose heart had been ripped out, was still breathing.

Without any hesitation, he reached into the large hole in the other man's chest and completely tore apart Morgaon's heart, finishing him off.

After finishing off the enemy, Louis was surprised to find that his progress on "saving five million people" had actually increased.

The increase was as high as one-fifth!

In other words, the Hero's Codex identified Morgon as a demon?

But thinking about it carefully, there's nothing wrong with it.

After all, Morgang had wholeheartedly pledged allegiance to the demon race, and his body had even undergone a certain baptism of demonic power.

His threat to human civilization is no different from that of a level three demon.

This was a pleasant surprise.

Immediately afterwards, Louis and his teammates quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

A few minutes later, the Erihill team and Ignis arrived.

On Arwen's shoulder was a demon, completely black and already dead.
