Chapter 898 (2/2)
Originally, the webcomic that Sui Xiong had seen was incomplete and did not have a proper conclusion. Most webcomics were like this: authors would write leisurely and choose not to complete the story if they were unable to think up of a good enough idea to end the story. There were few authors who managed to be disciplined enough to finish a story well. However, according to this particular webcomic’s author, he had mentioned that the foolish man who had converted himself would definitely not have a happy ending. Once he was defeated, the humans would definitely go back to their original conflicts.
Furthermore, as the humans had invented many new tools and tricks while fighting the war against the great devil, afterwards when they resumed their internal wars, these wars would become crueler, more intense and more merciless.
Basically, the great devil’s method would backfire despite his good intentions.
Sui Xiong did not wish to become a great devil anyway as he did not think he was great or strong enough to force the humans and Orcs to work together. One could explain it as even if he wanted to be a great devil, he was under-qualified.
He thus quickly scrapped this idea.
Another method he considered was of course increasing interactions, which would promote intermarriage and the fusing of the two races. However, there was a biological problem here. The Orcs’ blood was definitely stronger when compared to humans’. If Orcs and humans were to get married and have children, the offspring would definitely be Half-Orc and not human. If Half-Orcs and humans had children, a similar case of Half-Orc offspring would still occur.
According to the research by zealous and passionate scholars, if Sui Xiong were to use interracial reproduction as a method to “dissolve” the human race or meld them into the Orc race, it would require at least 10 generations or more for visible results. It would only be after the 15th of 16th generations that the pure Orc gene would disappear.
One could say that if Sui Xiong promoted interracial reproduction, it would give the Orcs a great advantage and wipe out the human race, which was a rather skewed idea.
This was something that the humans would definitely be disagreeable towards.
This solution was thus scrapped as well.
Sui Xiong was not some genius who could come up with ideas on the spot. He was also not very far-sighted. Even though he considered the issue from different angles, he could only think of these two ideas. Since both ideas were not effective or had severe repercussions, naturally, there was only one other way he could solve things.
This was to separate the two races such that they would never interact again in the future.
This could be done realistically as this world was very big and could accommodate both races. As long as they were not adamant about staying on this piece of land known as the Main Plane and were willing to travel out in among the thousands of other possible habitable lands, this world could accommodate hundreds and thousands of opposing races, let alone just the two races of humans and Orcs.
At the end of the day, there was just one last question left to ask. Who should stay and who should leave?
Naturally, then, the conversation went back to the original topic of the impending war between the humans and Orcs.
Sui Xiong was silent for a long time before suggesting quietly, “Perhaps we could use a war of gods to settle this matter?”
“If each side’s gods were to face death in battle, the humans and Orcs would definitely take action,” Javier smiled and turned to look at the God of War Wenner. “Wenner, do you think this method is feasible?”
Wenner shook his head. “This is not feasible. If even the gods become invested in this war, the people themselves would be more likely to engage in war themselves. If not, how could they account for their faith? How could they live with themselves?”
“Auscar, I can understand that you want to protect the people. However, you cannot simply act on this empathy alone,” Wenner walked over to Sui Xiong’s side and spoke in a low voice. “You’re imagining a war of gods while the people sit by and watch? That would be humiliating for them!”
