Instead of calling a third Slayer, Buffy's death in season 5 caused a disruption in the Slayer line that led to the events of season 7.

In order for a third Slayer to be called, she, not Buffy, would have to die. Buffy's continued existence after her second death represents a weak point in the line, because Buffy herself doesn't belong.)

In the Novel his goal is only to allow people who worship him unconditionally as a god to be immortal and create an eternal kingdom that fawns over his every desire (he was actually regretful that he devoured Barnes since Barnes was the exact sort of fanatic that he WANTED to exist, and had let his anger over losing the formula yet again get the better of him)) and Czes's goal regarding their fellow immortals, and the rest have gone into hiding and become extremely paranoid of other immortals because of it. In the novels, Maiza actually refuses to tell anyone else the formula for immortality due to an epiphany he had while imbuing his brother with the knowledge that the demon's rules almost guaranteed a There can be only one situation would occur due to the paranoia of being devoured by their fellow immortals. And excluding the 1930's generation, he was mostly correct. Without exception, all 3 known times that Ronnie has granted others immortality, one has always gone crazy and attempted to devour the rest (only the 2nd (the 1300's immortals) and 3rd times (the 1700's immortals) have been detailed, the first was only mentioned in passing in the novels when he lamented at how quickly they always turned.

** Mostly averted with the Slayers. In theory, there is only supposed to be one slayer in each generation. (At least, as indicated by the page quote.)
