Why would a God need slaves, though? Unless they're planning on forcing them to build a pyramid while they watch and laugh at their petty struggles, I don't see why having a mortal workforce is even necessary for a being of such power and ability.

Because enough slaves means that there will be times where might is saved on big tasks. That five tribe population isn't going to remain stagnant.

Plus, if mortals aren't required for anything, why bother dealing with them in the first place? I [i]could[/i] powergame an optimised might budget and bide time until powerful enough to wipe the floor with everything, but that's kind of bland, even for Toun.
