In the world where he had originally come from, Ravovifard, the evil god of release, was the weakest kind of god, of equal rank to Fidirg, the dragon god of five sins and Zozogante, the evil god of the dark forest... no, even slightly below them.
That was because there was no worth in what he ruled.
Ravovifard ruled over instincts and desires, the display of power that surpassed one's limits by releasing themselves from their reasoning.
But in Ravovifard's world, those with the ability to reason were in the minority. Many were loyal to their instincts and desires even without being released, not needing Ravovifard's power.
And those with reasoning and wisdom were often physically weak and weak in their abilities, so even if they were released, they couldn't gain great power. In fact, they were all races that had developed intelligence because they were weak. Thus, they took no notice of Ravovifard.
Ravovifard was not content with being a weak god in a realm so small that he could see all of it from a single spot, worshipped only by the members of his own race.
That was still true even when he became a part of the Demon King's army and fought the gods and champions of Lambda.
The evil gods, including the Demon King, had created monsters as their new servants in this world, but they hadn't been able to create them without limit. The monsters' strength and numbers that could be created were influenced by the strength of the god that created them.
Ravovifard was only able to create several hundred monsters that were weaker than those created by the other evil gods. And Ravovifard wasn't flexible like Fidirg, who had ordered the Lizardmen to create tools for themselves. The monsters he created were quickly defeated and had their numbers reduced by the champions and their allies.
But even so, he didn't even consider the offer of the champion Zakkart.
Zakkart's words had the idea of coexistence behind them, and Ravovifard perceived this to be in conflict with his own values.
Ravovifard fought in the Demon King's army as a weak god, and because he was weak, he was never given any important roles. Thus, when Bellwood and his companions defeated the Demon King, Ravovifard was able to survive even as the Demon King's body and soul were taken apart.
Fortunately for Ravovifard, he managed to acquire one of the Demon King's fragments, his scent glands.
That was when circumstances changed for this god.
Many evil gods had been sealed away or forced into slumber after losing their powers, so many monsters had lost their masters. Ravovifard succeeded in turning these monsters into his servants.
Ravovifard ruled over instincts and desires. Thus, he was able to turn beast-type and plant-type monsters, which didn't have a single shred of intelligence, into his believers. Other evil gods would value a monster believer to be worth less than a tenth of an ordinary believer, but Ravovifard valued them as believers.
With a hundred Huge Boars, a thousand Poison Frogs and ten thousand Horn Rabbits, to Ravovifard, it was equivalent to being worshipped by an entire religious nation.
There were monsters like Orcs and Kobolds as well, who possessed some intelligence, but because the evil gods that had originally been their masters were no longer around, it was simple for Ravovifard to turn them into his believers.
Of course, if he made any conspicuous moves, the heroic god Bellwood, who was still active after the battle between Alda and Vida, would have moved to exterminate him. Fortunately, however, Ravovifard was searching for monsters to become his believers on the Dark Continent, the entirety of which had become a Devil's Nest.
