Naimus's judgment of the God of Precepts had been slightly off.
And that slight deviation had been deliberately caused by the God of Precepts.
As his instincts operated, he had already realized that Naimus was pulling at him.
By continually pulling, Naimus sought to draw upon the God of Precepts' favor of fate.
It was after this that the God of Precepts chose to play along, using it to set a trap for Naimus.
