"..." Orson was silent for a while, then he looked at the orc shaman in front of him, suppressed his anger, and asked: "What is the purpose of this Heart of All Beasts that is worth your pursuit?"

"Hehe, you don't know." After hearing this, the orc shaman had some free time to chat with Orson.

"The so-called Heart of Beasts is the only organ left in the body of Limusa, the Lord of Beasts, after his death. It has been protecting the desert and the orcs from beginning to end."

"This heart has divine power. It can be said that as long as you obtain it, you will become the person closest to God on the continent."

"Our successive generations of temple shamans have tried every possible means to obtain the Heart of All Beasts. I thought that my generation would not be able to obtain it. I didn't expect that it would be you who helped me break the seal of the catacombs."

"So, you can choose a more respectable way to die. After all, after you die, I will become a god. As one of the most important stepping stones on my path to godhood, I allow you to be buried with your companions."

"Oh." Orson nodded. "It's still unclear who will bury whom."

In the original novel, Orson used the power of the devil in the final battle with Lit. Orson didn't know where the power came from, but from the beginning, a voice in his heart was faintly shouting: "Lose your mind, and you will become the strongest person."

"Lose your mind?" Orson thought so and smiled.

Whether it is for his own survival or for revenge for Lena, it seems that Orson is right.

By going to fight.

"If I can defeat him by giving up my rationality, then it seems okay to give up temporarily." Orson thought so, allowing anger to control his emotions.

The orc shaman looked at Orson who was silent with his head down, and laughed.

"Oh? Are you furious? Or are you thinking about how to die? It's okay. We have plenty of time. You can think about it slowly."

Then Orson raised his head.

"Have you thought about it?"

As soon as the orc shaman finished speaking, a beam of magic light shot out from the center of Orson's palm.

The orc shaman was unable to dodge and his entire left arm was pierced through, leaving a huge hole.

He couldn't help but cry out in pain and looked at Orson in surprise.

At this moment, Orson was surrounded by a black mist, and his originally purple eyes were stained with scarlet blood. He looked like a devil returning from hell.

"You just said you wanted me to die?"

As he said this, he rushed towards the orc shaman.

The shaman swung his right fist at Orson, but was knocked flying by Orson. He hit the wall and cracked the stone slabs.

"You... you have a backup plan?!" The orc shaman leaned against the wall, panting, looking at Orson who was walking over, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"I'm sorry, the one who will die here today might be you." Orson said this, pouring out his magic power wantonly.

Lightning continued to pour down the orc shaman's head. The orc shaman could originally say something, but now under the bombardment of lightning, he could not utter a word.

Then, as if to vent his anger, Orson rode on the shaman and punched him in the face again and again.

It seemed that only such a thorough beating could relieve the anger in his heart.

It was not until ten minutes later, when the shaman was completely lifeless, that a trace of clarity appeared in Orson's eyes.

He stood up from the shaman's body.

The opponent had been beaten to death by Orson at this moment, so there was no need to finish him off to vent his anger.

He hurried to the sarcophagus.

Lena's body fell beside the sarcophagus, her hands still tightly holding the Heart of All Beasts at that moment.

This heart is the source of the millennium-long conflict between humans and orcs, and is also the direct cause of Lena's death.

Orson looked at the heart, and at that moment, all he wanted was to destroy it.

As long as he is destroyed, the sandstorms protecting the orcs will dissipate, and the human army can go deep into the desert and completely wipe out the orcs.

In this way, the millennium-long conflict between humans and orcs will no longer exist.

"Lena, you are such a fool." Orson said this and hugged Lena in his arms.

"Don't you know that I have been using you from the beginning? What I want to do is to destroy the entire race of orcs, and you half-orcs will not necessarily be better off than you are now."

In Orson's original idea, if the sandstorm problem in the desert that hindered the advance of the human army was solved, the army that had not yet been disbanded at the border would advance into the desert and completely destroy the orcs. As for the half-orcs, who were subordinates of the orcs, although they were not on the elimination list, it did not mean that they could live a good life. They just changed from subordinates of the orcs to subordinates of humans.

"Are you the kind of person who would foolishly help others count money after being sold?" Orson thought so, recalling the days of traveling with Lena.

Sometimes this little loudspeaker talks too much and is quite annoying, but now, looking at Lena who is completely unable to speak, Orson can't feel happy.

"Alas." All the words said to Lena could only turn into a sigh in the end.

"Well, after seeing so many new things, including seeing the god you worship for the first time in your life, you can consider it complete...right?"

"I don't think so. You should have a better future. You haven't seen a human city yet."

Just when Orson was still feeling sentimental, the Heart of Beasts in Lena's hand suddenly flashed with a strange light.

Orson looked at the Heart of All Beasts in confusion, and then his consciousness fell into nothingness.

When he opened his eyes again, he was still in the tomb, but the tomb was newer than when he first entered, and all traces of fighting on the ground and walls had disappeared.

Have I... traveled through time?

Orson looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, and then, in front of him, a person with a beast's head and a human body walked out from behind the stone steps.

and the Li described on the statue

Musa is exactly the same.

However, at this moment, Limousa's situation does not look good.

He covered his chest and sat down next to the sarcophagus.

"Are you here to kill me?" He looked at Orson with a painful look on his face.

"Are you Limusa, the Lord of Beasts?"

The other party nodded.

"If you mean to destroy your creation, the orcs, then that is indeed my goal."

Upon hearing this, Limusa showed a look of understanding, and then he looked at Orson.

"How long has it been since you came across my legend?"

"Probably thousands of years," Orson said.

"Is that so?" Limusa nodded. "Then do you know what the relationship between humans and orcs was thousands of years ago?"

"I've heard that we once fought against a demon invasion together."

"Since we were once comrades-in-arms, why, why do humans want to destroy the orcs?"

"…I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer to this."

"But I can also tell you what your creation will be like thousands of years from now."

As he said this, Orson described the tragic situation in the city of Kars.

"You may not believe it, but after thousands of years, your creation may no longer be what you saw at the beginning."

"For thousands of years, you have transformed into wind and sand, helping the orcs survive round after round of human raids. Of course, the orcs respect you."

"But, with all due respect, your creation of the orc race was a failure."

"They have a barbaric mind, are uncivilized, and have a violent temperament. If they were placed in a primitive society, it would be fine. However, when others are making progress, entering a civilized society, and developing continuously, the orcs still remain in a barbaric society, which will become an obstacle to others."

"I won't say that completely exterminating a race is right, but from the perspective of humans and what you call Hela's followers, this is my opinion."

"Humans also have civil wars and hatred, but unlike orcs, humans have more peace with each other."

"I know." Limusa nodded. "I created the orcs. Can't I see their future?"

"But I didn't expect that even after thousands of years, the orcs still haven't changed..." He sighed with a wry smile. "Alas, in order to keep the orc bloodline going, I created the half-orcs, but the result is that both orcs and humans look down on the half-orcs..."

"It's still the same even now." Orson nodded. "But the orc race is not a failure. At least, the orcs I've seen are basically the same as humans. It's just because of their strange appearance that they are regarded as monsters by humans and orcs."

"So, if this isn't a failure, then what is it?" Limusa said self-deprecatingly, "As a god, the species he created can only be enslaved, discriminated against, hated, and exploited by others. If this isn't a failure, then what is it?"

"King of Beasts, at least, I can assure you about this point about orcs."

"Orcs can live together with humans. It may take a long and difficult journey, but I promise you that I will fight for the rights of the orcs. I will even build a country for them so that they can have equal status with humans and no longer be discriminated against."

"Because, the qualities I found in most orcs are hard work, diligence, simplicity and kindness. Such a race should not disappear."

Having said this, Orson looked at Limusa.

"You should think so, King of Beasts. Otherwise, how could the bronze statues serving on both sides of your sarcophagus be orcs?"

"Ha, that's easy for you to say." Limusa said, looking at Orson.

For some reason, he was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled with understanding.

"Oh, it's you."

"What did you say?" Orson looked at Limusa in confusion.

"Son of Paradis, let's make a deal. I will remove the sand from the desert. In return, you have to help me take care of my most proud creation. How about that?"

"…Son of Paradis? Although I don't quite understand the meaning of this title, I agree to the agreement you proposed."

"Ah, you don't know this yet?" Limusa saw Orson's puzzled expression, smiled, and then said: "Forget it, anyway, you will know your life experience in the future."

"That's the agreement. I will turn into eyes and watch the agreement between you and me be fulfilled." Paradis smiled as he said this.

"That little orc girl outside is your friend, right? You can develop a friendship with an orc that is enough to make him die for you. I believe what you said."

"By the way, let me help you one last time."

"Son of Paradis, please do not forget our agreement."

As Limusa finished speaking, Orson's consciousness returned to the real world.

In Orson's arms, the heart of all beasts turned into starlight and flew into Lena's body. Then, the injuries on Lena's body began to heal rapidly.

Looking at this scene, I thought about what Limusa said in the illusion just now.

Does the last help mean to heal Lena's fatal injuries?

Orson didn't know whether Lena would wake up, but he still held Lena and walked out of the underground maze.

It was not until half a day later, when it was already late, that Lena gradually woke up.

She felt like she had had a very long dream. She got to travel with her elder brother Edward as she wished, and then she got to see the Temple of Limusa in the book as she wished.

They even explored the underground labyrinth of the Temple of Limosa and discovered Limosa's tomb.

Unfortunately, in the end, the ending of the story doesn't seem good...

When she opened her eyes again, what came into view was a sky full of stars and that familiar black hair.

"Hmm...did I just have a dream?"

Lena said this and looked at Orson beside her.

"Are you awake? Orson also turned his head and looked at Lena."

"Well, Brother Edward, I feel like I had a very long dream..."

"You're not dreaming." Orson said, patting Lena's little head. "Thanks to you, Lena, we defeated the bad guys in the end."

"Eh? But, but I remember that I'm not..."

"Yes, Lena, you were knocked unconscious. I was worried to death." Orson said this, covering up the fact that Lena had come back to life, and also concealing the agreement between himself and Limusa.

"Oh, I was so scared. I thought I was dead."

"Don't talk nonsense. You're a fox with a very lucky life." Orson said this and pinched Lena's fox ears.

"Ugh! Don't pinch my ears!" Lena said, and opened Orson's hand. "Even if it's my older brother, you can't do that. The ears and tails of us orcs are very important..."

Only family and closest loved ones can touch it.

Thinking of this, Lena couldn't help blushing.

"Okay, okay." Orson nodded. "But, Lena, do you feel any changes in your body after waking up?"

After all, the Heart of All Beasts is a divine thing. Although resurrection from the dead is already a very powerful function, Orson still wants to see if there are any changes in Lena's body, whether she will become stronger after absorbing the Heart of All Beasts.
