You are correct, Caudyr.

In his road to (how did he said, already...) profit and enjoy Life as much as possible (?) Rou will go after the Heroes, and it will include the killing of a lot of soldiers, making the Holy Kingdom crumble under the assaults of neighbours if not bcause of it's own inner problems or conflicts (as Lunyu says : "a country can not stand without Faith", forgot the verse number, it was about what is the more important between Food, Weapons and Faith / Hope).

But Rou is playing a dangerous game.

Mu 無 is the destiny of Greed.

This is a Confucianist teaching, strangely conveyed in Fullmetal Alchemist, though Christian ideas are usually more dominant in this manga.

Will Yaten Dôji become a god (or a Gawd lol) or will he ate the World before eating himself ?

The Myôô, kings of light / science, are thought to be ancient and powefull demons who converted to Buddhism, embracing the limitless teaching, and making the oath to protect it. On the other hands, the "Dôji" demons are associated with the lore and mysticism imported from the continent and developped by the locals, Onmyôdô mysticism and esoterical Buddhism. Which one is the strongest in him, the angel like figure of the Myôô, or the ascended Oni, Yaten Dôji ?

...

If he didn't go against Lumen, maybe some cleric from there would have enlighten him to a smarter or at least less greedy "policy". It is known many criminals, after having an heart-changing experience, "discovered" they were not in their right minds... it may seems crazy for modern people living in atheist states, but it has happened a lot of time n the History of Religion, especially with Buddhism, but also with Christianism too. Unlikely to happen to Yaten Dôji, though, unlikely for base criminals too.

...

On the others hands, the presence and greed of Yaten Dôji seems to be his destiny and fate, or rather the direct will of this setting's gods. None of the Great Gods dunjeons was conquered, and even the God ranked dunjeon "Flames of the fire dragon" was unconquered. In other words, they ay have making him come there in order to conquer those dunjeons, or at least to challenge them and fulfill the purpose of their existence. Since the natives of this setting couldn't do it, they needed the OP esper Tomokui Kanata.

...

btw, 2 days ago I forgot something.

I wanted to say that is is unlikely that Lumen's religion is entirely untrue / baseless, because every legend, religion or myth has as it's origin some historical truth, metaphysical truth or even sociological events or phenomenon. For exemple (one who will cause no crazy debate or flamewar ahah), Grimm's Fairy Tales. ;)
