'Aren't you so powerful and great that those rules don't apply to you? Nothing can threaten you, it's not like you really have to fight to come out on top. Just think, even as a benevolent ruler, nobody would take advantage of you as they know how powerful you are? Nobody would even try to compete with you'
The gods haven't been very active in the lives of the people lately. When they were active, they chose to fight over petty squabbles instead of helping humanity. This allowed for the rise of plague, war, and famine in places farther from the Oasis. There is a single mass burial pit, referred to by the rueful mortals as "The Product." It is neutral ground, and acts of violence are impossible there for mere mortals.
The pit is almost as large as the Oasis, and in the center of it, atop the millions of corpses, is an idol of some unknown, possibly nonexistent god. It doesn't quite resemble a creature, being rough-hewn as it is, but the people look up to it, and it drives them forward. They say it understands their pain, and will help them if they help it grow. Meager offerings of food and drink are left around The Product, and the cultists hand them out to those who need it most. Only 10% ever makes it to the idol.
Rebellious forces take on tyrants in the name of the unidentified god depicted, farmers claim that what little crops they grow are due to its blessings, and healers claim that miniature idols will protect against the plagues.
It was only recently that cantors came to the Oasis, telling others of the wonderous new god and its power.
"It needs food." The child says calmly, not recognizing Walden. "It gives most of its offerings away, but it can't grow unless it keeps some for itself."
It begins to stomp slowly towards him.
“I mean no harm! Don’t worry!”

In the distance, one of the destroyed reactor buildings can be seen.

The child freezes. They put their gloved hands to their covered face, then reach out to pick up the baby.
