[POTENTIAL SPOILERS!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!]
I estimate that many readers may have questions or are just curious about the power structure of this universe. I will be revealing more and more about those at the top of the universal pyramid but this is more of a quick look into where everyone sits on said pyramid.
Here are the Rankings with as little info as possible:
[HONORABLE MENTION]:
Akashic Records: Can be seen as the child of the Absolute and is the second highest authority over reality. Responsible for giving out classes to humans, setting up evolution trees and branches for nonhumans. They are the record that has, will, and could happen in existence.
[Rankings]:
The Absolute: The Creator.
Architects: (They are essentially 4th or 5th dimensional beings.)
The Watchers: "The Ones Who Watch"; think of them as the overseers of the Universe. Responsible for keeping out extraterrestrial forces and eldritch horrors that could threaten reality.
Chaos: the Big bang; the being that started the universe and governs its borders. Controls space
Order: Chaos' opposite; while Chaos creates and destroys, Order maintains balance and unity. Controls time.
Fate: A bitch; responsible for evolutions and classes and their maintenance and 'caretaker' of the Akashic records.
Destiny: Homegirl; loves plot twists and flipping the script. Responsible for giving Demigods their True Names.
Infinity: Used to be known as Ouroboros until they shed their physical form and became a concept, leaving behind a shattered, incomplete soul within the body. Responsible for the continued growth of the universe.
Life: the Universal Tree; responsible for souls and all forms of life. Also the source of all positive energy.
Death: eternally lazy, second oldest being alive; he is the shadow of the Absolute. Hates doing any kind of work, even breathing takes too much effort. Responsible for the decay and end of life to continue the cycle of reincarnation. Source of negative energy.
...
Now comes our archon gods, the beings that started their pantheons (i.e Gaia and Uranus, Shiva, etc.). Basically the first gods to existence in each Pantheon.
While they sit directly below the architects on the power scale, there is a very, very wide chasm in power between them. I won't say more because that is going into spoiler territory, but yeah. The Architects are on a different power ceiling.
Then of course below them are the other gods. Their strength and rankings are decided by their understanding of reality and their divine concepts. This can correlate to age yes, but age is not the deciding fact *cough, cough* Zeus...
After gods come demigods, those still under the Akashic Records' "care". As they are still bound to the interface and levels, they can not output as much energy as gods who are spiritual beings with divine energy.
Last but not least, we have mortals! And I don't think much as to be said here.
Hope this short explanation of things helped!! Any further questions, you got the discord link in the synopsis! Love you guys!
