Yeah Aro, it'd be wise to not use outside characters as examples. It's not really applicable. For example, within Reptile Kingdom lore, Zamasu attempting to kill off the mortals would be both suicide and divine genocide. Killing off all the mortals would mean killing off all of the gods, because gods are dependent on mortals to maintain their existence and power.

I'm not gonna go into detail unless I'm asked, but it's a bit of lore I came up with to explain why the gods are so concerned with what mortals think and believe and to reconcile the Reptile King's (and the rest of the Great Beast Kings) origin story with the history of the MGE setting. (I do not expect anyone to accept it as part of an overarching MGE fan lore or as part of their setting.)
