Alda's Faction is one of the three factions of Gods in the story. The other two being Vida's Faction and the Remnants of the Demon King's Army. Alda's Faction represents the majority of Gods in Lambda who are supported by Rodcorte's Cycle of Reincarnation. Alda's faction is further divided in two, between the peaceful followers and the fundamentalist or extremist followers of Alda.[?]
Description[]
"Alda’s teachings stated that the evil gods and members of the races created by Vida were to be exterminated alongside those who didn’t follow his doctrine, and that relying on knowledge that originated in other worlds such as the things left behind by Zakkart was forbidden."[1]
"Alda believed that the races that had been created through breeding with monsters were evil. There might be some good individuals among them, but with modes of life such as that of the Vampires, roots of evil would be left behind in the future. They were destroying much of the world’s current order. The ways Vampires lived, as well as the appearances of Lamias and Scylla, greatly differed from those of the people. Because of this many of the people believed Alda’s words and treated them as targets to be exterminated. However, as Alda had mentioned not long ago, there were some members of Vida’s races who had been accepted by society. That was why Curatos and Yupeon, the god of ice, had been declaring that those races were evil in Alda’s name – so that they would be destroyed. Destroying a transmigration system would require the use of an ability to destroy the soul like the Demon King’s, or the elimination of the destinations for the reincarnated souls… the killing of every single individual living creature that the souls could reincarnate in. Exceptions could not be made because they were virtuous or because they were a part of society."[1]
Normally, Alda delivers his teachings through divine messages to more capable individuals among his believers, leaving the details of putting them into practice up to them. "Gods were those who guided the people, not rulers. (…) However, the contents of his divine message had been twisted as it spread from those who received it, and there were many cases where they were not putting his teachings into practice correctly." For example, the main Church of Alda in the Amid Empire has been focusing too much on exterminating Vida's races, instead of the more problematic evil gods and their servants, allowing the Evil God of Joyful Life to extend his influence from the shadows.[1]
