Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 61 Divinity, Divine Power, Divine Body (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month~)

Below the original Titans were the second generation of Titans, followed by the even younger third generation of gods.

Below them are the creations of the gods, including various minor gods, secondary gods, nymphs, and elemental spirits. Although they are of lower rank among the gods, they are still considered deities.

Below that are the mundane beings, even demigods are mundane beings.

The power of the gods is mainly divided into four basic dimensions: laws, divinity, divine power, and divine body.

To use an understandable analogy, in terms of overall combat power, divine power is like "energy," the source of immense power that drives the laws and sustains the divine body.

The application of laws is a cosmic supernatural power controlled by the gods, and it is the fundamental essence of their intervention in the world and their alteration of reality.

Divinity is the supreme "processor" that drives everything, the core of the laws, and the self-awareness and vast spiritual thought of the gods.

The depth of one's understanding of the origin of the universe, and the degree of integration with the world's "existence," encompassing and influencing all dimensions of "existence," determine the vastness, profundity, and strength of divinity.

The divine body is the material manifestation and power vessel of the deity in the real universe; it is the embodiment of the deity on the material level.

The fundamental laws are essential for maintaining the present world and are difficult to completely destroy; while the divine self of the gods, as the core imprint of their existence, coexists with the laws themselves and is equally difficult to completely annihilate.

When gods fight, the focus is often on the outcome of battles involving the divine bodies (as mentioned earlier, so I won't repeat it here).

The creation of the divine bodies of the gods, whether from nothing to something, from something to strength, or from bad to good, is an extremely difficult and mentally exhausting task.

However, under normal circumstances, once a divine body is formed, as long as it is not completely annihilated but merely injured, even if the injury is extremely severe, it can recover quickly without special restrictions.

Especially for those at the God-King level, with their control over cosmic energy, no matter how severe the injury, their recovery speed is enough to make their opponents deeply despair.

The combat power that the gods can unleash does not depend on a single dimension.

Unless there is absolute divinity and overwhelming divine power, the outcome of the battle will depend more on the gods' masterful application of the laws, the strength of their divine bodies, and their combat skills.

The interplay between laws, the interdependence of laws, the suitability of the laws controlled by the deity for combat, the resilience of the divine body, the richness of combat experience, and the overall strategic and tactical qualities all need to be comprehensively considered.

Unless the difference in power between the two sides is too great, it is actually difficult to determine the outcome of a battle between gods.

Sometimes, whoever makes the first move can decide the outcome.

The only way to roughly categorize the powers of the gods is by their divinity, divine strength, and the intensity of their divine bodies.

However, these three are not necessarily equal.

The only certainty is that the closer one is to the origin of the universe, the greater the influence on the universe, the more important the law, and the stronger its divinity.

Because of its fragile divinity, it cannot control the powerful and vast laws.

Similarly, only the stronger one's divinity can be, the stronger one's divine power and divine body can be.

These four core elements—the essence of law, divinity, divine power, and divine body—are interconnected, with each element strictly determining the potential limit of the element that follows it.

If it is not a god, then its power is simplified to three elements: divinity, divine power, and divine body. It also follows the principle that each element determines the upper limit of the next element.

However, aside from the fact that a strong law necessarily leads to a strong divine nature, which undoubtedly determines the lower limit, other prerequisite factors do not absolutely determine the lower limit of subsequent factors. In other words, while prerequisite factors set an upper limit for the potential of subsequent factors, the actual performance of the subsequent factors may not necessarily reach that set upper limit.

In other words, even a deity with extremely strong divinity and vast divine power may still be at a disadvantage in battle if their divine body is fragile or their laws are not conducive to combat.

Just like a top-tier processor (divinity) equipped with extremely powerful energy (divine power), if the RAM (divine body) is too poor or the application software (application of laws) is too bad, it cannot unleash its full potential.

Or perhaps one possesses extremely strong laws and divinity, but lacks energy (divine power) and vitality (divine body), in which case it's all for naught.

Transforming theoretical strength into actual combat power is a very complex process.

The types and strengths of divine bodies vary greatly, making it difficult to determine the exact strength; only a general classification is possible.

The divine body, encompassing divinity and divine power, can be roughly divided from top to bottom into:

"Supreme God-King Level" refers to Cronus and Zeus before they were weakened. They are truly above all gods and possess unimaginable power.

"Primal Creation Level" includes primordial deities and the most powerful beings among the primordial Titans. Their power is vast and boundless, and even the God-King must show them respect.

"Peak Titans" refers to primordial Titans or top-tier deities who are not skilled in combat, but whose power is sufficient to influence the macroscopic level of the universe.

The "Chief Gods" category includes the most outstanding members of the second-generation Titans, as well as ordinary Gods. Each of them wields significant powers that can severely influence the cosmic order.

"Secondary Gods" are those deities who are slightly inferior to the main gods, but still possess a certain reputation and are relatively powerful in the divine realm. Examples include ordinary strongmen among the second-generation Titans and outstanding individuals among the third-generation gods, who possess the power to influence the order of the universe.

There is also the "god-level," which refers to those who possess considerable power in a specific field.

Below that are demigods; there's no need to categorize anything below that.

Furthermore, those who are the embodiment of laws are definitely gods; while those who are not the embodiment of laws must be granted authority in a certain area by a great god of laws, and only those who possess divine power in a certain field can be called gods.

None of them are gods!

Then there are the divine offspring. They may not be gods, but their physical strength and combat power alone could be very high, extremely high.

Aside from lacking the title of God and the relative immortality and divine body, their strength might rival that of the supreme god.

Between these levels, the difference between each level is unimaginably large, even greater than the difference between two levels!

This gap does not grow linearly, but rather increases exponentially.

In addition, the fully realized Zeus is an additional and unique classification, and does not need to be included in the calculation.

Because His power will be absolute, transcending all known systems, any comparison will be meaningless.

The bodies of Zeus and Cronus, which have been greatly weakened, can only be considered as primordial creation-level beings, but they are still the only two of their kind.

This is just a general classification. It doesn't mean that if you are stronger than your opponent in the three key elements, you will definitely win. You also need to consider the most important principle, this crucial factor.
