Vox didn’t just want a partnership. He wanted love, acceptance, approval and a relationship. Here’s what I think about the rejection; Alastor seen potential in Vox, but Vox is power-hungry and also so focussed on approval that he physically can’t allow himself to do anything without a team because he genuinely feels like he can’t. Alastor was cruel, but he genuinely wanted to help Vox, in Alastor’s mind, cruelty gets results. It shows the person they’re cruel to their flaws so they can then improve on them, but to Vox, rejection is worse than death. It means he isn’t good enough, it shows he’s weak. Vox is so focussed on Alastor and approval that he doesn’t realise he doesn’t need an alliance or support, or even to be a god to be powerful. Alastor and Vox are equally as powerful. Alastor’s the strongest sinner of course, but Vox is also strong, he just doesn’t use his strength wisely and Alastor is disappointed in that, because despite Alastor wanting to be the most powerful, he actually understands the importance of knowing when to stop and how to get things done by taking a minute to think. It’s why Alastor will ALWAYS be a successful villain, because he’s actually smart and not power hungry.
