40 Hierarchy of the Divines (2/2)

As she said that, suddenly on the air, dark fiery symbols from the English Alphabet began to arrange themselves in vigor to show data at least. And this is the result which was shown in a descending pattern, divided into three major definitions...

[Lesser Deities]

VII. Spirit Deities

VI. Quasi-Deities

V. Relic Wardens

IV. Mythic Deities

III. Archangels

[Higher Deities:]

II. Magistrates

[Creation Deities:]

I. Primordial

0. Highest

”It's rather simple, isn't it? Even the worldly military ranks are a hundred times more intricate than this. ”

”Sorry, what is this again?” I asked. While it is clear to me that this is some sort of a ranking system that incorporates the deities, what I don't quite comprehend is the meaning of each tier and what type of deities are there.

”There's no benefit for me if I were to hide this. It's an insignificant type of information so it should be ok to explain this to you rather than just showing it. This is the 'Divine Hierarchy', and as the number decreases, the power strengthens on a visible degree. Here's how the rank goes...Let's start with the lower food chain- the lesser deities. ”

”(VII) Spirit Deities - they are what men merely call as 'spirits' and each of them holds an element to be their symbol. Remember Ignitress that I summoned that fateful night? She's a potent example. And that giant gargoyle, Atlas, too, although probably the most powerful one in the rank... Overall, these types of deities can be summoned by the other deities to meet several needs, given that it is not in vain.

(VI) Quasi-Deities - These ranks are where the heads of pantheons are found. They are well-known as they are always in direct contact with men. An example of this is that womanizer, Zeus. How dare a human write about him and make him seem like, he is one feared deity.

(V) Relic Wardens - That Phantom Deity, Deus, is a potent figure in this rank...and that might have given you a little idea of what is in this tier. The deities in this ranks are tasked to secure a divine relic of importance. Weapons that are even more powerful than the quasi-deities. A blatant instance is the 'Trancy' in Celes' hand. In another word, a bunch of underpaid antique security guards...I have no idea how that girl got Deus to give her that dangerous weapon, but it's beyond my concern so I don't care.

(IV) Mythic Deities - Lower-ranked Gods can never comprehend this tier. They are the ones endowed with the responsibility of keeping the balance to everything. And you may not believe this, but this is where I am now and I don't even know how I got in that rank. Although I can't care. Increasing the ranks means more responsibilities and more responsibilities lead to a busy life. Up until now, I can never understand why everybody wants to climb the ranks as soon as possible. If there was a way for me to go back to the lowest rank, I would have done it a long time ago.

(III) Archangels - The bodyguards of the magistrates that are endowed by a very strong authority. And the 'commanding chiefs' of the game's factions are from this tier. Oh, and that guy who summoned Atlas is currently in this rank, although he guards nothing, he fell from the expectations of the highest and has rebelled. So, he's a fallen archangel perhaps.

So now we are in the higher deities which only embodies one rank...

(II) Magistrates - Hmmm. If I were to describe them, they're like the 'Supreme Student Council', except the circle is made up of deities of great importance. They are tasked to keep order and are the ones deciding the hierarchy.

Lastly, the Creation deities... The most revered of all.

(I) Primordials - There are only two primordial deities. And the two main factions or Armadas are named after them. That's right. Chaos and Mirage. The two primary creations are under their supervision where Chaos rules the void, while Miage rules the cosmos.

Lastly, the overall dominant...

(0)The Highest - The one without start and end. From where everything was created and to where everything must come back when destroyed. And have you ever wondered why the ranks ended in zero and not first? The magistrates described the highest as the number zero. It's empty if you look at it, but it holds an infinite possibility of value.
