Originally, Saleen had planned very well. He could strengthen his forces step by step. After the Lord of Glory arrived, he would no longer be able to find a single disciple to help him.
When a god descended upon a plane without a disciple, their power would be suppressed by the rules of the plane. The suppression was exceptionally vicious.

Saleen wanted the Myers Continent to become a hopeless place for the Lord of Glory. He was not wrong.
However, with the goddess' recent revival, he was at a loss.
