Oryx believes in destroying everything. It's an ideology centered on speeding up the heat death of the universe. The Traveler is the opposite side centered on creating things.
I'm inclined to agree with the Traveler.
Oryx's very existence goes against his own beliefs.

I'm pretty sure his ideology is just a cloak he uses to feel better about his actions. The Worms have him pinned. If he doesn't continue to destroy, he himself will die.

I'm not sure that's accurate. Not much was explained about the "final shape" he wants to help the universe achieve, so I can't say if it really is about heat death. It should be noted that he thinks that the universe will simply end if this final shape is not achieved.

The Heat Death isn't really an end. The Universe still exists, but no energy is left. It is simply dark stillness for eternity. "Final Shape" is a fitting term.
