okay so what if Gods were real, as is the premise of one of the storylines going around, and they granted you boons if you made them happy cursed you etcetera if you made them mad, some humans could see and chill with gods etcetera, and all of that, but most wouldn't, and gods and demons got into wars all the time. And then once, somethings happens, like a disease, that starts spreading across mortals. It's a strange disease and keeps people bedridden for some time. Fortunately it doesn't take too many lives and people start recovering.
Those who recover start acting strangely. They begin questioning everything, even the Gods. Not questioning their existence, but asking them a lot of strange questions and extremely inopportune times. For example, when you've spent a thousand years of your life for a boon from a god, would you rather get the boon, or start asking 'hey Vishnu dev, how come you're just hovering over the air without any strings or thrusts or anything when I can' and 'how come you have the privilege to grant wishes and boons and I don't and what exactly do I have to get there' and 'what exactly is the mechanism of your boon, like how does it work, what are the potential loopholes, are you not at all worried about bad actors misusing it to undermine your authority?' etcetera. So the questions get really annoying and the gods put a lot of effort into controlling and eradicating the disease and getting rid of the people who have had it. Which is even worse because they end up in Yama's domain and start causing ruckus there.
This would work well with the rest of the story of demons versus gods I have in my head because when someone's hacking the underlying fabric of the universe, it helps to have some curious minds around how things work and try to decode the rules so the rulebreakers can be blocked.
