With his High Priest's assurance, Ainsworth no longer worried about the challengers' matters.
Anyway, it wasn't the first time he had killed challengers. Although it was his believers who defeated and packed up the stone statues of the challengers to him, it was still he who had done the last hit and killed the challengers.
So, Ainsworth didn't have any qualms about taking credit for his believers' achievements since the power they used was the ones he bestowed them with.
It might be inseparable from their hard work, but aside from a few talented believers like Ken Rogers and Chloe Harrington, most of the believers had evolved with trash superpowers and it was he who had given them a better one.
With Ainsworth agreeing to his High Priests' ambush against the second challenger team, he lay on his bed on the private floor in the third basement of the Basilica of Transcendence.
