Below the Primordial Titans were the second-generation Titans, followed by the younger third-generation deities.
Further down were the creations of the gods, including various minor gods, subordinate gods, nymph fairies, and elemental spirits. Although they held lower ranks among the deities, they still belonged to the divine category.
Below that were mortals, and demigods were also mortals.
The power of the gods was mainly divided into four basic dimensions: laws, divine nature, divine power, and divine body.
Using understandable metaphors, in terms of comprehensive combat power, divine power belonged to "energy"—the source of magnificent power that drove laws and maintained divine bodies.
The application of laws was the cosmic divine methods controlled by deities, the fundamental essence by which they intervened in the world and changed reality.
Divine nature was the supreme "processor" that drove everything, the core of laws, the self-consciousness and vast spiritual thinking of deities.
The depth of understanding of cosmic origins, the degree of fusion with the world's "existence," and the dimensions of covering and influencing all "existence" determined the vastness, profundity, and strength of divine nature.
Divine bodies were the material manifestation and power containers of deities' existence in the real universe, the embodiment of deities on the material level.
The origins of laws were important existences that maintained the present world and were difficult to completely destroy; while the divine nature self of deities, as the core imprint of their existence, coexisted with the laws themselves and was equally difficult to completely annihilate.
When deities fought among themselves, they often focused on the victory or defeat of divine bodies (as written previously, no need to elaborate).
The creation of divine bodies, whether from nothing to something, from weak to strong, or from poor to good, was an extremely difficult and mentally exhausting matter.
But under normal circumstances, once a divine body was forged, as long as it wasn't completely annihilated but merely injured, no matter how severely wounded, recovery would be quick under normal conditions without special restrictions.
Especially at the God King level, with their control over cosmic energy, no matter how severe the wounds, their recovery speed was enough to make opponents deeply despair.
The combat power that deities could display was not determined solely by a single dimension.
Unless there was absolute crushing dominance in divine nature and divine power, the direction of battle depended more on the exquisite application of laws by deities, the strength of divine bodies, and their combat skills.
The mutual generation and restraint between laws, whether the laws controlled by deities themselves were conducive to battle, plus the toughness of divine bodies, the richness of combat experience, and their comprehensive strategic and tactical qualities, all needed to be comprehensively considered.
Unless the power gap between both sides was too great, victory or defeat between deities was actually difficult to easily determine.
Sometimes, whoever struck first was enough to decide victory or defeat.
What could provide rough power divisions for deities was only the strength of their divine nature, divine power, and divine bodies.
And these three were not necessarily equal.
The only certainty was that the closer to cosmic origins, the greater the impact on the universe, the more important the laws, the stronger the divine nature.
Because fragile divine nature could not control powerful and vast laws.
Similarly, only stronger divine nature could possess stronger divine power and divine bodies.
These four core elements—essence of laws, divine nature, divine power, divine body—were interconnected, with each element strictly determining the potential upper limit of the subsequent element.
If it was a non-law god, then their power composition was simplified to divine nature, divine power, and divine body, also following the principle that each element determined the upper limit of the subsequent element.
However, except for the inevitably determining lower limit factor that stronger laws meant stronger divine nature, other prerequisite elements did not absolutely determine the lower limits of subsequent elements.
In other words, while prerequisite elements set potential upper limits for subsequent elements, the actual performance of subsequent elements did not necessarily reach their set upper limits.
This meant that deities with extremely strong divine nature and vast divine power, if their divine bodies were fragile or their laws were not good for combat, could still be at a disadvantage in battle.
Like a top-tier processor (divine nature) paired with extremely strong energy (divine power), but if the memory (divine body) was too poor or the application software (law application) was too bad, it couldn't display its full intended performance.
Or if laws and divine nature were extremely strong, but lacked energy (divine power) and memory (divine body), that was also useless.
The process of converting theoretical strength into actual combat power was very complex.
The types and strength of divine bodies were vastly different and difficult to determine in detail, only roughly divisible.
Divine bodies, including divine nature and divine power, could be roughly divided from top to bottom:
"Supreme God King Level"—this level was the previously unweakened Kronos and Zeus, truly transcending all deities with unimaginable great power.
"Primordial Creation Level"—including primordial deities and super top-tier powerhouses among Primordial Titans, whose power was vast and boundless, requiring even God Kings to maintain respect for them.
"Giant God Peak Level"—Primordial Titans or top-tier great gods not skilled in combat, whose power was sufficient to affect the macroscopic level of the universe.
"Main God Premier Level"—including regular outstanding ones among second-generation Titans and ordinary main gods. They each wielded important authorities and could seriously affect cosmic order.
"Minor God Secondary Level"—those slightly inferior to main gods but still possessing certain renown and relative strength in the divine realm. For example, ordinary powerhouses among second-generation Titans and outstanding ones among third-generation deities, possessing power that could affect cosmic order.
There was also "Subordinate God Level"—having considerable power in specific fields.
Further down were demigods, and below demigods there was no need for division.
Additionally, those who were embodiments of laws were definitely gods; while those who were not embodiments of laws also had to be granted authority in some aspect by a law great god, possessing divine authority in some domain to be called gods.
Everything else was not gods!
There were also divine offspring. Divine offspring might not be gods, but their pure physical strength and combat power could also be very high, extremely high.
Except for lacking the title of god and the relatively immortal divine nature and divine body, their strength might be able to wrestle with main gods.
Between these levels, the gap at each level was unimaginably large, even greater than the difference between two levels!
This gap was not linear growth, but geometric leaps.
Additionally, the complete form of Zeus was an additional unique division that need not be calculated.
Because his power would be absolute, transcending all known systems, making any comparison meaningless.
The currently greatly weakened Zeus and Kronos's divine bodies could only be considered Primordial Creation Level, but they were still the unique two of that kind.
This was just a rough division. It didn't mean that surpassing opponents in the three elements guaranteed victory—the most important factor of laws, this crucial element, still had to be considered.
