Knowing Alister's ambition, Lynn and Zanna decided to support him since they knew that it was for their own good.
Sure, a god was powerful, but there were countless gods in the omniverse. Unlike them who were only thinking at the universal scale, Alister already thought of the grand scheme of things in the entire omniverse.
For someone cautious like Alister, only when he became the strongest in the omniverse would he catch a break and finally retire. After all, Alister didn't want himself and his wives to encounter a disaster due to the lack of power.
Alister was indeed ambitious, but most of his intentions for becoming stronger were to obtain power for self-defense. Now that he had two beautiful wives, he was worried that others would take an interest in them and steal Lynn and Zanna from him.
