Why did Obé want people to kill for him?

Question

In the TV series Mortel, the god Obé seems to be looking for mortals to kill someone for him in order to return to his own realm, which is why he tries to pressure Sofiane, and later Victor, into committing murder.
Except, so far as I can tell, his face started to look decayed, presumably signifying his being trapped in the mortal world, directly after he claimed the life of Reda (if that is indeed what happened). In fact, this fits rather well with the fact that his condition worsens when he intervenes physically. Furthermore, he already had someone who was, seemingly, willing to kill as many people as Obé wanted in order to get what he desired, so it seems strange that he would focus on getting Victor and Sofiane to kill for him. That said, he really seemed to be insistent on them doing it.
So what is Obé's game? What does he really want to gain from having people killed for him? Why does he change whom he is working with?

At this time, there are a lot of mysteries unsolved, and I haven't found any official explanation for that plot point (or even that many fan theories, oddly enough), but my impression is that Obé is trapped in the mortal realm by one of his prior actions, which may or may not be related to Reda's death (if he did indeed die) and the the actions of the other killer. He is also shown to be somewhat incompetent, the least of his family, and prone to mistakes. My suspicion is that:

Of course, this is more or less speculatory, but I think it fits what facts we receive in the show.
