The long-term benefit is that by actively severing, the Father of Combat cannot touch his other divine positions, especially the Jackalwere Divine Position, which is his core divine position.
If he loses the Berserk Priesthood, he can seek it again in the future. But if he loses the Jackalwere Divine Position, he will be completely ruined.
However, the things he treasures may not be valued by others.
If he really mixes in a lot of private goods, it might actually give the Father of Combat a headache, requiring a longer time to digest.
But even knowing this, the King of the Jackalweres would not take the great risk of scheming against the Father of Combat. He can no longer afford losses, while the Father of Combat is in his prime, backed by a Lord of War.
If they use violent means to digest, it would be a disaster for him and the entire Jackalwere race—a declaration of war on the entire Jackalwere race, an extermination policy, which could easily complete the severance.
