I might as well mention another possible reading that you didn't mention: Orpuddex could have been simultaneously Sentry and Godfood and destroyed himself, enacting a dual role in his behavior but not dividing into separate beings for one to survive.

The really important question isn't what happened, though, the important question is why is it left ambiguous.
