He had used up all of his "worshipper juice" becoming a god, leaving him somewhat weak and with no experience using divine powers. After some of the other gods broke ranks to defend him, he took control of the goblinoids and established regular worship among them. So he's been building his power for a few centuries since then, and unlike other gods, he doesn't have to share his species' worship with several competing deities.

Basically, that was their only shot to just gang up and kill him out of hand.
Hi, Rich! Thanks a bunch for clarifying this for us. Glad to see your hand is improving enough so that you're able to be active online again. Do us a favor and don't overdo it, though. Cheers!
