Even though there are believers in the city, Malin cannot give them anything, because if he does, the nine sages of Thainan will know about Malin's deification by tomorrow morning at the latest.
And once they know, it won't be long before the Western Human World knows too.
Then Malin will have nowhere to hide—daring Chaos cultists would attack Malin's loved ones at any cost, for a legendary child as a sacrifice is tempting, but the offspring of a deity is even more enticing.
Don't mention Malin's strength; capitalists would sell their own hanging rope for a 300% profit. The offspring of a deity defies even that description.
Therefore, now is not the time.
Malin must become stronger, without relying on the Power of Prayers.
