Yaetz was an evil god.

He was also very proud of this distinction, since a lot of the other so-called 'evil' gods in Eden had gone embarrassingly soft since the HighGod had started running the show.

Yaetz had been proud enough of his evil godly status to turn down and painfully drive off every pathetic minion of the so-called 'Deathgod' who had tried to recruit him.

And now the Deathgod was Dead-and-Gone, Yaetz laughed to himself.

It was perfect proof that having someone who'd try to be 'in charge' was a bad idea. Before the HighGod's vacant position had been filled, and especially before the Deathgod had started mucking about, it had been every god and goddess for themselves.

That was how Yaetz had preferred it. And he wasn't going to take this change sitting down, either. If Yaetz's evil way of life was to be preserved, then someone was going to have to get rid of the HighGod. And Yaetz just so happened to be the perfect evil god to orchestrate that very scenario.
0
The fact that the HighGod spent most of his time in the HighTemple, which was located somewhere other than Eden, was only a minor obstacle in Yaetz's way. Even though this meant that it would be pretty hard to kill the HighGod, but because the HighGod was so isolated this way, all Yaetz would really have to do would be to remove those Gods and Goddesses on Eden who were closest to him.
0
Gods and Goddesses wouldn't dare work with the HighGod if it meant being destroyed, especially if Yaetz could set it up to look like the HighGod himself was killing off his allies, and then the previous state of every-god-for-themselves would prevail!

Always cautious, Yaetz had already started his plan by making a list. He'd been a little surprised to find who his number-one target was going to be…that little punk of a newcomer, Yuugioh. Or, as he'd been called because of his actions in the War, Old Kazul's Golden Protégé.
0
Even so, Yaetz already had the beginnings of a plan to neutralize any threat Yuugioh would make ready. It was all courtesy of the strange little human his Creature had located just outside the northern border of his Influence.

And there was no way for this secret weapon of his to be discovered as easily as the Deathgod's stupid Dark Creed Plan: His (new) island had formally been little more than a chunk of The Continent, and the nearest thing remotely close to threat to his borders was that under-trained stray Creature who'd lost her mistress during the War.
0
It would turn out even better, Yaetz knew, if his actions went completely undiscovered. If, for example, any action on the part of Yuugioh or anyone else came too late to stop his plan, Yaetz wouldn't even need the strange little human that he could sense had something to do with Yuugioh, something strange.
0
The little human even looked like Yuugioh's Humanform…feeling fiendishly pleased with himself, Yaetz let every thought of his prisoner slip away for now and concentrated on picking the lucky fools of gods or goddesses who he could dupe into being his unwitting scapegoats/partners.

More than a few candidates came to mind…
