Roland's hypothesis is based on a major premise: humans are selfish, and so are the gods.
Though there are worthy and just unsung heroes among humans, they are few and far between.
Roland does not view selfishness as something shameful, as long as it does not maliciously harm others or disrupt public order, what's wrong with being a bit selfish?
Even humans are like this, so how should the gods, who possess greater power and authority and are hardly ever supervised, behave?
Kindly and benevolently treat mortals?
Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but stifle a laugh.
He firmly believes his hypothesis is correct.
The gods who control the rules are supreme, while ordinary gods with power may not be in a great situation.
They are servants of the Supreme God, but they still appear powerful before mortals.
If the Supreme God is not inherently benevolent, their reasons for focusing attention on various material planes become clear: to reap benefits.
