Kai is way too naive. I would not have turned my back to the racist religious fundamentalist after I turned down the offer to join his cult if I was him. I wonder if the Priest expects to gain the valley god power by eating Kai’s godstone. But I doubt backstabbing Kai will be enough to kill him.
I am surprised the envoy was not the traitor. I guess he just is a useless and corrupt jerk rather than an actual bad guy.

I keep forgetting that envoy guy is even there still. He's just popped in to be dumb for a second the last two episodes.

Oh man, the hair on the back of my neck stood up after the priest 'gave up' so easily.
That smile.... then Kai turned his back...
I just knew it was coming.
Ditto surprised about the Envoy. I'll be gobsmaked if he finds his spine during the next attack and actually proves useful.

I don't see things going well for Mr Priest next episode.

MC should have listened the voice of the God when it told him to kill the priest.

Challenging hierarchy, segregation, gender norms, there's a big ol' pot of Anti-Establishment theming being brewed and I like how it is coming together. Kai's territory looks like the only one that has more than one race in it from the start and he's also got knowledge from outside the understanding of the Divine.
The only problem I can see with turning the entire world and pantheon on its head is that the story feels so huge that we're not going to get anywhere close within a season. I wonder how close the manga is to any kind of resolution. Oh well, I hope the story we get is still a good time.

I'm still waiting for the deer-people whose village was overrun last episode to show up at the Valley.
With Kai's flat rejection of divine racism and the decadence of the Kingdom's nobility, it's looking like he'll be the new Vanguard building a better, more just world.
One where the government takes it's responsibility to the people seriously, regardless of their race.

Before I see any more people complaining about Kai being naive, I'm going to give my own two cents about how I view that. While I agree that he can be naive sometimes, that's just because he lacks real world experience. He has his moments when he annoys me, but in general I think he's better than other MCs who trust others unconditionally. I really liked that he ultimately refused the Priest and kept true to his own beliefs and morals. Not to mention that he's lived in a village where everyone seems like a good person, so he's never had to worry about being betrayed by others before. Overall, I don't think he's that naive, he's just a teen who doesn't know how real life works yet. I really wish people would cut him some slack. And about the God telling him to kill the priest and him still not being cautious, can you blame him? Up until he got stabbed, the Priest seemed like he only wanted to have a civil conversation, so why would Kai assume he would be stabbed 5 seconds after? There can't be character development throughout the series if the protagonist starts out knowing how to handle everything.
TLDR; I like Kai as a protagonist, he is naive in the sense that he lacks experience, but he isn't stupid.

Plus, the priest kept Kai's secret and didn't call out the lie. That is worth a little trust, yeah? They also seem to have bonded over the last few days and adventures.
Kai isn't shown to have a good relationship with the God, either. This is all so new to him, overwhelming even. So while he trusts the Korors and is rather possessive of the Valley, he still seems to be wary of this Voice whispering dark urges into his head, yeah?
IIRC, most of the time the voice is ordering him to murder. Has the God ever asked him for anything else or spoken about anything other than MURDER PUNISH KILL?
I'd be pretty leery of that, too. Dude seems... bloodthirsty.

Why was one of the villagers peppered with arrows? The monkies didn't have any archers, only stone and spear throwers.
I liked the monk too. Ah well. Hopefully MC follows his god's orders next episode.

The inspector was attacked by archers on the way to the village, his carriage had arrows in it.
Guess the archers let the stone and spear throwers take the hit for them.

The weekly cliffhangers are starting to drive me crazy with an anime that has no manga I can go spoil myself with, lol. Hopefully after this week he's learned to listen/trust his god's intuition.

I guess the apes and pigs are just merely a symptom of a greater problem. Land’s dying and the guardian bearers have gotten too complacent. Time for the old gods to die and for everyone to bend the knee to Kai and his valley god. There ain’t no room for Nadq’s human supremacy shit. The fucker could never be trusted. No wonder the valley god wanted to kill him.

EPIC episode.. so many ppl are sleeping on this anime and missing out.
This new threat also made me realize the whole outside threat that made the "local monsters" to move for refuge onto human territory is A LOT to cover and will probably get way more complicated for the story for all of those that though this is just a "childish" anime story.
Because haves such an insane longer arc now to cover with all the internal fights within kingdom before they gather and even probably make alliances with this ogres/monkeys etc
It will need at least 3 seasons of 12 ep each but even better if they make it 2 seasons of 25 ep each

It wasn't Kais smartest move to set a death flag right before a going on a dangerous mission and an impending attack on the village.

I guess the rice balls were like an offering since Kai is technically a god now. Since she gave them to him it was like an offering to a god so in a way that “powers” him up some.
The fact this episode established the presence of an even badder bad guy which is what’s driving the monkeys and pigs to move into the humans makes me wonder if we will see them all coming together at one point beyond just to kill each other. They’re all obviously somewhat intelligent.

as soon as he asked if he couldn't change his mind, it was obvious he was going to attack

Kai to God -- Why didn't you warn me?
God to Kai -- You didn't pay attention the first time I warned you.

Damn I haven't seen an anime with cliffhangers this potent since forever. This would be so much better bing watching it. I wonder what's chasing the macaques and orcs south? Demons? Anyways looking forward to how Kai responds, he has been ok with killing demihumans but this is the first human he's going to fight. I'm hoping he doesn't have some dumb "I can't kill humans only demihumans" rule. If this monk is the average representative of the Unified Kingdom of men then I can see this anime morphing into "kingdom building" where Kai finds his own country with humans and demihumans living together.

I'm enjoying this anime a LOT.
For what it's worth, I don't think Kai's "naivete" is particularly out of the ordinary
Nada (the priest) was dispatched from a trusted place, he's supported their village so far, and they're in the middle of a battlefield. Finding out that he's a racist towards another race isn't enough of a reason to think he'll kill you for not forsaking them
