Naimus did not believe gods had any loyalty to speak of, especially gods who lived by mathematical expectations.
Their hearts were filled entirely with calculations. This was not a problem, for it conformed to the underlying rules governing this world.
But precisely because everything was calculated by value, outward emotions such as loyalty and righteousness would never be included in those calculations.
Emotions and ideals such as loyalty and righteousness were essentially fluctuations of the spirit. Although such fluctuations could produce value, they were not stable enough.
Too many people's loyalty was merely a momentary choice, difficult to uphold with conviction.
Thus, choices that completely failed to conform to mathematical expectations would be abandoned by both sides.
No one would value someone simply because they were exceptionally loyal, and no one would choose loyalty themselves. So long as the benefits were sufficient, betrayal was certain.
Yet the Sky Pantheon's current situation was abnormal...
Could the Sun God's plan to purge all gods have already begun? Naimus thought of the Sun God's goal of becoming the sole god.
The other party's objective was exceedingly clear: depose every god in the world and strip the other gods of their current lofty status.
