For now, the four-way dynamic was set.
As for whether a fifth or sixth party would eventually join, that was a matter for the future.
Who knew?
At any rate, knowing that there would be at least fifty vacant Pillar God positions meant the alliance between Lince and the Three Gods of the Cosmos would only grow stronger.
After all, even after they crossed the Pillar God threshold, everyone would still prefer to help Deities they trusted join their "big family." This would also allow them to form their own cliques, ensuring that their respective interests wouldn't be encroached upon or suppressed by other factions once they became Pillar Gods.
In short, whether it was a matter of power or personal rapport, Lince and the Three Gods of the Cosmos could still trust one another for the time being.
Therefore, during their negotiations, the four of them took a step to solidify their pact: they exchanged Spiritual Fragments with one another.
How to put it?
