Ao's words were actually quite interesting.
To him, the Order Gods were merely a group of ordinary people using an imposing appearance to conceal their inner fragility... and he had even included himself among them.
It was enough to just listen to that.
At most, the Order Gods had set some rules for everyone to follow so their own people would not undermine one another.
Wearing uniforms when going out was hardly any trouble, let alone something that could drastically change a person's temperament.
That old man was rotten to the core, always digging pits for others when he had nothing better to do.
If Hill and Lathander truly believed there was oppression among the Order Gods, they might cause a huge disaster.
Hill also did not believe there could be gender-based inequality among the Order Gods.
In a sense, they could actually be considered the most equal group of people... but only among themselves.
Still, that was normal. Even higher life forms like Elves, whose populations started in the hundreds of millions, looked down on short-lived races. For beings like the Order Gods, who had been Greater Divine Powers from the moment of their birth and had watched all kinds of life come into being, it was only natural for them to regard all life other than themselves as inferior. Cold and shameless, perhaps, but normal.
Although Hill disliked it, he would not disdain other people's customs. The only thing he could guarantee was that he himself would never look down on anyone... including these racists.
Thus, among the Order Gods, all distinctions were still based on their own abilities and popularity.
Then the true meaning behind Ao's words could only be that Goddess Cosette had taken advantage of the period when the Order Gods collectively changed their appearances
