Weak Gods, Middle Gods, Powerful Gods, and Main Gods. No one knew who came up with the concept of Low Gods, Middle Gods, High Gods, and Main Gods.
However, this was far too distant a concept for the mortals in the mortal plane. The mortals called Gold rank "Master" as they viewed it as their life's goal. The next level would be "Legend". As for the higher levels, the mortals took it for granted.
For some ancient species, Legend was only the starting point. Saint-ranked existences would probably be at the very beginning of the mortal plane. Sage-ranked existences would be at the level of true transformation and difficulty, and SemiGod existences would be limitless.
The Titans ranked at the very top would only be SemiGods in terms of power levels. However, even Main Gods wouldn't dare to fight against them alone. Similar to the Titans were the existences that had existed since the beginning of time. Those ancient existences would either find a random dimension to live in seclusion in, or they would simply go into hibernation. This was one of the reasons why there were so many forbidden areas in the mortal plane and other dimensions. There was even a Supreme Immemorial Dragon who directly went to the Chaos Abyss to become the ruler of that dimension. Even then, the Chaos Abyss never gave her any trouble.
Speaking of which, if the price of becoming famous was being dragged into the Holy War that only happened once every one or two thousand years, any powerful ancient species with normal intelligence would probably find a place to bury themselves. Their power levels would be impossible to evaluate with the current power level system.
Dragons were strong and skilled in both magic and martial arts, elves were skilled in magic, beastmen were pure and skilled in combat, and Gods were skilled at using their own Divine Concepts and natural laws to cheat. There were all sorts of strange natural talents and inheritances. Trying to rank them together would be meaningless.
Actually, the current power level system was only for humans to explore their own potential. High-level Gods existed for the sake of showing off to the weak. The seemingly powerful power levels were only to let the weak know where they should be, so that they wouldn't provoke the strong too much.
Of course, the current power level system would probably be sufficient in a low-magic generation. But in the middle and later stages of the Holy War, where liches were everywhere and SemiGods were like dogs, the current power level system would naturally become useless. Naturally, a more suitable power level system would be needed.
But no matter what, Main Gods would always stand at the peak of all species and life. Roland had been quite curious about such existences in the past, so he had asked Aillé about them.
"As for Main Gods, there aren't any detailed classifications. Those who are able to easily tear apart other Gods as if they were made of paper would be considered Main Gods. They've all experienced countless years to reach their current level. Even in the Holy War, it's difficult for them to die. They're the accumulation of the entire plane's history. "
There were seven such existences in the Order Faction and fourteen in the Chaos Faction … Currently, there were only five in the Order Faction, thirteen in the Chaos Faction, and three in the Neutral Faction (Hades). If the ancient races that lived in seclusion were not included, these twenty-one Gods were the most powerful existences in the world.
The Lord of Putrefaction had been exiled to the mortal plane, the Devil Lord had led his people to betray the will of the Chaos Abyss, and the Chaos War God had remained undefeated for countless years. Every single Main God had countless legends behind them. They were all existences who stood at the peak of the world in both power and intelligence.
Even the Elf Main God, who appeared to be a second-rate Main God amongst Main Gods, was quite sly and scheming. Not only did he have the "great achievement" of destroying the Gold Elves, the superior species, but just looking at his recent actions, it was easy to see just how sly and scheming he was.
Roland seized the opportunity and chose the perfect time to betray the Order Faction. Not only that, the silver elves and the moon elves were currently embroiled in a civil war. It would seem that Roland, as an Elf Main God, was unable to even protect his own people, an obvious dereliction of duty. However, some things couldn't be judged on the surface.
That's right, now that Roland had joined the Chaos Faction, the moon elves who were close to him would likely join the Order Faction as well in order to avoid being punished. Meanwhile, the silver elves and the other Elven Gods would still join the Order Faction, and the two sides would continue their civil war. For the time being, other species wouldn't have any reason to interfere, nor would there be any need to interfere.
Yep, this was the typical style of the elves — they would go where the wind blows and bet on both sides. No matter who won or lost, at least some elves would be able to survive this Holy War. Of course, the prerequisite was that there wouldn't be a ridiculous ending where the entire world would end.
From a certain standpoint, Roland had no choice. The Holy War was imminent. Unlike the last Holy War where the elves were the rulers, the humans were the rulers this time. Even if there was no need to "think too much" about it, sending "allies" onto the battlefield to defend important areas (where they could be sacrificed) and acting as vanguards (cannon fodder) was a shared tradition between the elves and humans. Plus, it was obvious that the Order Faction was at a disadvantage in this war, so it wouldn't be easy for them to sacrifice their allies.
And, the elves' civil war wasn't an act at all. Any act would be impossible to fool any high-level existence. The elves truly viewed each other as mortal enemies, and no matter who won or lost the civil war, the elves would definitely be greatly weakened.
From the very start, Roland had chosen to sacrifice more than half of his people in order to survive this Holy War. Not only could one see how ruthless and decisive the Elf Main God was, it was also more evidence that he didn't have a high opinion of the situation in this Holy War.
Apart from a certain Main God, there were basically no Main Gods who were alone. And that certain Main God who seemed to be alone had now revealed his claws and fangs.
"Aillé is special."
Yep, that certain Main God was Aillé. Aillé was the most special Main God of all. Not only did he not have a specific job, he didn't have any followers, nor did he have anyone to protect him. Alright then, we all knew that this was just a facade. But, in the eyes of everyone else, Aillé was always a loner who traveled the world. In legends, Aillé would often appear as a black-robed Death God who brought death with him. Of course, Aillé usually wasn't a good character either.
And, the most special part about Aillé was that he didn't need to participate in the Holy War.
That's right, Aillé didn't need to participate in the Holy War, but the other Order Main Gods were destined to be involved. Aillé would always be able to coldly watch as the newly born Gods fought each other's brains out, and then smoothly become one of the victors. This was obviously something that the other newly born Gods couldn't understand. But, if you asked about Aillé's responsibilities, it was understandable.
"Aillé is the Guardian of the Cycle of Reincarnation. He's an eternal neutral."
Due to the fact that there were some people who would die by chance (Roland being one of them), Ayer, as the Guardian of the River Styx, didn't intentionally hide his actions. Ayer's duties were an undisclosed secret among high-level existences. However, there was another piece of information that not many people knew.
"Aillé is undefeatable."
This wasn't some vague description like "the strongest" or "the most powerful." Rather, it was a description that no existence would be able to directly face Aillé. This was the reality for countless high-level existences. Aillé was undefeatable by the River Styx.
The reason? During the last Holy War, two newly born Order Main Gods (wood elves and silver elves) believed that destroying the River Styx would cause the demons and devils to lose their newborns. Since they understood Aillé's responsibilities, they ignored their seniors' advice. The end result was that they brought along several powerful Elven Gods and were all killed by the Death God's scythe.
From a certain standpoint, this unexpected large-scale death of Gods was also the main reason why the entire Elven species and Elven Gods had such a hard time in the last Holy War.
By the way, this was also one of the reasons why the Elven kingdoms and Elven Gods hated the undead so much. Yep, this was the Elven Gods taking out their anger on the undead. Even now, they still didn't dare to take revenge on Aillé.
However, back at the River Styx, Aillé had only used a single black rose to kill all these Gods.
He simply silently watched as the black rose in his hand bloomed. When the black petals fluttered in the wind, the River Styx was filled with the corpses of the Gods.
Although Aillé was praised as "undefeatable" because of this, his overly easy victory caused many to doubt him. That was because the power level he displayed was far too astonishing. If he had been willing to fight on the battlefield, no matter which side he chose to help, the Holy War would likely have ended instantly.
It wasn't difficult to guess the secret behind Aillé's unreasonably powerful strength. Just by looking at Aillé's job history and his other combat records, it was obvious that Aillé's ridiculously powerful strength was only limited to when he was protecting the River Styx.
And now, when his own tribe and allies had all escaped into the Hades, Aillé met a familiar figure by the River Styx.
The one walking at the very front was naturally a figure of pure Light. This dazzling light formed a figure with unparalleled divine might. This was another incarnation of the God of Holy Light.
It seemed that the publicly acknowledged strongest Main God, the God of Holy Light, was finally going to fight against the publicly acknowledged undefeatable Main God, Aillé.
However, Aillé hadn't come by himself. His divine might was on the same level as Aillé, which doubtlessly meant that even if Aillé wasn't a Main God, he would at least be a powerful God.
