And maybe there's other possible structures, for this Game, besides that of a pseudo-not-eroLARP.

Maybe all of this structure is just down one particular path of gameplay, where activating Ione leads Keltham to think of eroLARPs, and Nethys tried to follow up on the opportunities that opened, and the Game then subverted what gods and mortals thought.

Maybe the most Perfect Ending is to be found elsewhere, and not in harems, or in Project Lawful girls who are Chosen and Blessed.

Whatever that Perfect Ending, Nethys hopes it will be the ending that is most witnessed by the Things that crowd around from orthogonal angles to watch, the most real outcome obtained by the most real Nethys.  Though, of course, none of His selves will think that the Things cause greater realness, until the Things return.

But Nethys has not become so inhuman that He has forgotten the meaning of hope, especially as it exists across worlds and universes and possibilities: that other Nethysi may yet do better than this, and obtain better than what He obtained.

...But if the Things were here to watch this Game and this Game alone - then Nethys has played it well enough, He thinks.

And with that bright hope, set against that satisfying thought, Nethys combines His will and spends His power, and sends a fragment of Himself into a long long peaceful reverie.
