While Altron was explaining everything there were small videos and images being played in the background of each scene.

It showed a massive futuristic-looking city with countless drones flying about followed by images of Arthur, Malina, Olav, and the rest. (Mentioned around Ch 915-920)

[They followed your orders down to the letter. The Orcs lived and breathed according to what they thought were your wishes. I was worried they might forget after some time but that never did happen...even until the very end]

Images of the gateway portal that Hao Xuan had created for them came up followed by that of another world.

[With my help the Orcs had created a perfect plan to take control of the planet you had selected. They got to work but it took almost 70 years for it to happen, far longer than the 15 we had initially predicted. It was a good thing that the effects of time dilation were rampant across both planes otherwise it would have been possible]

[Some of the indigenous people fought until their last breaths while many other tribes had to be conquered one at a time. But some of the greater powers could only be reasoned and negotiated with to prevent a full-blown war]

[91 years had passed since your departure by the time the planet and all its inhabitants were brought under our rule. But the most time-consuming part was transporting them here. It took another 8 years for that to happen. Thankfully, the city that I had created outside came in handy to house all of them]

The images showed the previous city again but this time it was full of life and all kinds of beings walking about.

[Shortly after they were settled, we passed the 100th anniversary of your departure. I told the Orcs it was okay for them to relax and have a life of their own because it could take much longer for you to return. Arthur, he was the first one to have a child, a son. I would have preferred a female but no one asked me noo~ sir]

[At the same time we started to educate the indigenous people and taught them about technology, life in other places, and of the Greater World. But most importantly we taught them about you. About their purpose and OUR purpose here...ohh some of them did NOT like that]

[But life still continued as usual. It was the 131st year when the second generation of Orcs was old enough to be officially enlisted. Arthur's son 'Lucious', problems started with him. He was charismatic, smart, and strong just like his parents but, no one expected him to be so prejudiced. He considered Orcs to be superior to all other races and even went as far as to say that we didn't need to wait for you anymore]

[He started pushing his ideology and among the second-generation Orcs it caught on quickly. They had never met you so of course they couldn't believe in you, especially since you were from a lesser humanoid race according to them. Arthur did his best to teach him and bring him to the right path but...]

[Soon it became us vs them. But Lucious realized that the human tribes outnumbered his forces greatly so he made plans in secret to join hands with some of the more powerful ones. I tried to stop him but he was far too clever. Civil unrest, discrimination, and unjust treatment of minorities were his tools. He wanted to pit the humans against one another so no one would be able to stop him]

[A few days after the 310th anniversary of your departure the first 'World War' broke out. Many of the first-generation Orcs including Arthur himself died during this 17-year-long war. Those that survived were pushed out of high positions and replaced by the 3rd and 4th generation of Orcs, all of which were indoctrinated by Lucious's ideology]

The images showed exactly what Altron was talking about.

[I won't bore you with too many details but there were three more large-scale wars in the years to come. By the end of the 4th World War there wasn't much left. Neither the Orcs nor the other human tribes managed to survive in any real sense]

[The few hundred that made it through tried to start a new civilization but after so many countless years of war too much had been lost. Knowledge, people, and places. We couldn't even contact you again because the gateway had been destroyed during the 1st World War and there was no other way to leave this place or even get new resources]

[Orc against Orc, Human against Human, Orc against Human, it was truly a miserable sight. And all because of Lucious and his arrogance!]

[Anyways, that's how it happened. The last human died in 614 and the last orc a few years after that. I had hidden after the 1st World War and when I came out there was no one left to save. I created this small settlement again so you would not be faced with the horrors of the past. Maybe if you can bring other people here it can still be useful]
