## Location

### Floors

98th Floor (Main bodies)
 Various Floors (Emanations)

**The God and Goddess** are stated to be race of beings possessing immense holy power easily surpassing that of the many Ranker within the Obelisk and easily making them an equal to the Demon Race. Currently the Tower houses numerous Gods and Goddesses from various religions and myths within the Tower and that their main bodies are currently confined within the Tower's 98th Floor. The overall status of Godhood being the ultimate goal of obtaining of the many Rankers within the Obelisk.

## Characteristics

The Gods and Goddesses currently inhabiting the tower are shown to be based off the numerous gods and pagan religions of Earth (Norse, Greek, India, Celtic, etc...). With each God and Goddess possessing immense power and that the sole end goal of a ranker completing all 100 Floors and Trials of the Tower was in order to ascend and evolve into one. Further elaborating to the sheer power a God possess.

Currently the various Pantheon's are housed within the Tower's 98th Floor and are currently unable to leave it and go to the lower floors due to their main physical bodies and immense power being confined to the floor by the Tower's system. However despite this restraint, the Gods can still see the going on's within the tower as they possess the necessary abilities to observe everything going on in the lower floors.

### Presence

The despite being confined and unable to leave the 98th Floor, the Gods have devised various methods that allow them to possess a presence within the Lower Floors should they need to.

#### **Consciousnesses Separation**

As seen with the Three Norns, Gods and Goddesses can separate their minds from their original main bodies within the 98th Floor and have them inhabit specific locations within the Tower. As seen where Urd, Verdandi and Skuld had separated their minds from their bodies and sent them to inhabit Chambers within their Temples within the 16th Floor of the Tower by establishing their Holy Territory within them. However this came at the cost of them now being unable to leave or even move from these chambers once there and limiting them to either returning to their true bodies in the 98th floor or having their subordinates do the leg work for them outside their temples.

* **Temples:** Gods are also capable of "possessing" and residing within a place of Worship that they have established as their territory, with Urd, Verdandi and Skuld being noted to have created their own Temples within the Lower Floors that they can send their consciousnesses from the 98th Floor to and Poseidon can also similarly send his own consciousness to his own Temple within the 30th Floor of the Tower to reside in. Once there the God in question can set up their territory within the confines of the Temple that renders their Divine Authority there as absolute and can even set up a Divine Barrier that blocks out everything unwanted.

#### **Apostles**

Another Method a God can take to freely move between Floors is them selecting a Ranker from within the Tower to be their embodiment. If a God catches the eye of a particularly powerful Ranker or is intrigued enough with their accomplishments and abilities, they would sometimes offer to make this Ranker their Apostles. That in exchange for becoming their servants and essentially becoming their eyes, ears and limbs within the lower floors, they grant these Ranker a small portion of their Holy Powers and drastically increase their power altogether. This also acts as contractual connections between them that if their Apostle were to die, their soul would immediately go to their Gods along with their borrowed holy power.

Because of the immense power boosts by their positions and their duties to their patron gods, an Apostle is typically someone who is the head of a specific religious sect or that of a clan in order to also foster faith in their patron gods.

Known Apostles:

* Rebecca "Red Apostle" (Apostle of Cernunnos) (deceased) { Resurrected as a Spirit Familiar}
* Hepburn (Apostle of Urd) (deceased)
* Hayate (Apostle of Thor) (deceased)
* Unnamed (Apostle of Ares)
* Unnamed (Apostle of Shiva)
* Unnamed (Apostle of Athena)
* Zang Wei "Bow God" (Apostle of Hou Yi) (formerly)
* Viera Dune "Witch of the Stars" (Apostle of the Great Mother) (deceased) -(physically)- {Ascended}
* Benteke "Ruler King" (Apostle of Poseidon) (deceased)
* Lana (Apostle of Ceto) (deceased)
* Ted (Apostle of Antaes) (deceased)
* Elain (Apostle of Charybis) (deceased)
* Bodi "Green Shade" (Apostle of Persephone) (deceased?) (ascended into a Heroic Spirit)
* Aldin (Apostle of Brontes) (deceased)
* Unnamed (Apostle of Steropes) (deceased)
* Unnamed (Apostle of Arges) (deceased)
* Lan "Ghost Rifle" (Apostle of Hades) (deceased) ( Resurrected as a Spirit Familiar)
* Persephone (Apostle of Mother Earth) (formerly) (deceased)
* Cha Yeon-woo (Apostle of Mother Earth)
* Doyle (Apostle of Heavenly Demon) (formerly) (Apostle of Persephone) (formerly) (First Apostle of Cha Yeon-woo)
* Valdebich (Second Apostle of Cha Yeon-woo)
* Hercules (Third Apostle of Cha Yeon-woo)
* Ares (Fourth Apostle of Cha Yeon-woo)
* Hermes (Fifth Apostle of Cha Yeon-woo)
* Athena (Chief Apostle of Cha Yeon-woo)

Due to the power of Apostles, Gods tend to be quite picky with who they choose. As seen where Urd, specifically went through a lot of trouble to acquire Hepburn, who was a member of the High Elf race that was counted among the "Superior Races" of Demi-Humans in order to create a powerful servants for herself. Its even possible that if a Ranker possessed enough power and achieved immense accomplishments, Multiple Gods can choose or try to recruit them to be their Apostle. As seen where due to his record breaking accomplishments across the Floors, Cha Yeon-woo was offered and considered by Urd, Hermes, Athena, Poseidon, Ares, and Dionysus into becoming their Apostle.

It was later revealed that despite being allowed to have more than one believer and worshiper, Gods typically focus on only having one Apostle in order to focus on a single individual their power and blessing despite having the ability to have more than one. And if a God does indeed desire to have more Apostles, they typically only limit themselves to having three.

* **Multiple Apostles:** As shown with the Greater God Poseidon, it is possible for him to possess numerous other Apostles that "belong" to him through his Godly Children. Due to him being the father to multiple Gods, such as Charybis, Orion and Antaes, Poseidon can have multiple Apostles due to their patron Gods ultimately answering to him due to them being his subordinates in his faction of Olympus and him being the progenitor to their powers. This in turn hints that the most powerful Gods within the 98th Floor that have multiple Godly children can also bypass the one Apostle Rule by having their multiple Godly Children or subordinate Gods take up Apostles as well.
* **Martyrdom:** Another way a God can use their Apostle and Followers is "Martyrdom", where after their servants having given their lives to follow their will, the God in question can then use their deaths to create powerful raw power that then can use in a variety of ways. With Poseidon having used the deaths of Jinrang and the other Triton members death to empower his Descent into the 30th Floor in order to reinforce Benteke's body for his own use.

#### **Dangers**

As stated by Jeong-woo, Apostles are susceptible to "*Divine Sickness*" where due to repeated and frequent contact with Gods, an Apostle's soul starts becoming muddled, with their psyche facing severe strain. This sickness was stated to be something all Apostles face and risk due to desiring more power.

#### **Death**

* **Heroic Spirit:** As revealed by Yeon-woo, similar to how the Apostles of high class demons are transformed into demons when they die and their souls claimed by their Demons Patrons, the souls of the Apostles of the Gods are also claimed by their Godly Patrons and are transformed into Heroic Spirits under their service within their territories within 98th Floor of the Obelisk. One of the examples of these are the Apostles of the Nordic Pantheon, who upon their deaths, their souls are brought to **Valhalla** as Heroic Spirits.
* **Absorption:** As seen with Benteke, the souls of an Apostle can also be absorbed, broken down and assimilated into their patron god after their death.

#### **Descent**

Another technique used by Gods to leave the 98th Floor using Consciousness Separation is them possessing and taking control of a compatible body that can withstand their power within the Lower Floors of the Tower. This is seen where the "Great Mother" had ordered her servants in Walpurgisnacht to create or locate a suitable vessel for her to possess in order to descend into the Lower Floors while Poseidon can also accomplish the same feat by possessing his own Apostle and take his body for his own use. However there are several weaknesses to this ability, due to a Gods power being to massive, even if their Apostle were to host them, their host body would crumble within days due to no being able to withstand the immense strain of their gods power, and even then once descended the Gods themselves are limited to a specific location of their Temples due to their new avatars requiring a constant stream of their true bodies holy energies to flow from the 98th Floor to their Temples to continue residing within the lower floors and if the god were to ever leave their temples, their avatars would die immediately.

#### **Alter Ego**

Although unspecified its been implied that a God can also create an Alter Ego of themselves that can temporarily move independently from them. However eventually these Alter Ego's would eventually disappear after a time.

#### **Incarnation**

Another Method a God can take to become independent of the restrains and constraints of the Tower Rules and leave the 98th Floor, is that they incarnate themselves into an actual physical body.

This method thereby allows a God to bypass the Tower's rules and leave the 98th Floor as they please. However it was stated that this method was complex and came with several other disadvantages as well. Upon now being trapped in a physical form, their overall power was now severely weakened and constrained to their physical bodies and the likeliness of them damaging their souls is also high to the point that their soul itself could now experience true death.

These dangers thereby made this method used the least by Gods and causing them to instead be more inclined to use Apostles to travel to the lower floors to avoid any potentially, permanent damage to their souls if something went wrong with the process.

Incarnated Gods:

* Brahma (Hindu God of Creation and Wisdom, Incarnated due to disliking his fellow gods within the 98th Floor and became Brahm)

#### **Sheddings**

The Gods are also capable of creating and leaving behind emanation, literal shedding's of themselves that they can then leave behind in the other Floors of the Tower for specified reasons. As seen where Viera Dune, upon ascending into Godhood and becoming the Great Mother, managed to then leave behind a "shedding" of her previous self as a mortal in her human body to continue leading Walpurgisnacht as she operated and acclimated herself in her new body.

## Constrains

### Summoning

Normally it is impossible for Gods to physically leave the 98th Floor on their own with a few exceptions. However it is possible to physically summon them out of the 98th Floor by using a high level summoning ritual to call them to their summoner. However successfully accomplishing this would require to sacrifice something of equivalent worth to bring the god over, as seen where Yeon was forced to sacrifice Aegis in order to successfully bring over Hermes to combat Agares.

Another limitation to this is that once said God is successfully summoned, they can only stay a outside for a limited time, with them eventually being forcibly ejected to the 98th Floor once the time limit is reached.

God’s Gate
### Exceptions

Despite the rules of them not being allowed to leave the 98th Floor on their own, there are a few exceptions among the Gods who can ignore the rule and physically leave the 98th Floor and transport themselves to the Lower Floors.

This is seen where Hermes, being the Greek God of travelers, crossroads and the messenger to the Olympian Gods can apparently ignore the rules of not being able to physically leave the 98th Floor and freely travel to any of the lower Floors whenever he desires it. However as revealed by Urd, doing so requires a considerable amount of his energy to do so and as such he avoids making use of this unique privilege unless it is a matter of particular importance.

Urd, Verdandi and Skuld are also another exception to the rules that typically keep the Gods confined to the 98th Floor. The Three Platform Goddesses are actually allowed to physically appear in the 16th Floor of the Tower, however they are restrained from leaving their personal chambers within their temples.

Urd’s TempleSkuld’s Temple
## 98th Floor

The Gods of the Obelisk are all located and make their home within the Mysterious 98th Floor of the Tower where no Player has even managed to reach to date since the Tower's emergence.

The Floor itself is stated to be gigantic in size due to the sheer number of Gods and High Class Demons that inhabit it. The Floor itself is divide up into territories of either Demons or Gods that is further divided up into the territories of the individual Pantheons of Gods that is then further cut up into the individual homes/lands of the individual God, with some Pantheon's like Olympus having been stated to have a slightly larger territory then the other Godly Pantheons.

Due to its gigantic size and the number of residence, its been stated that the balance of the Floor itself is very fragile and could collapse and be changed with the smallest incident.

## Pantheons

There are many different kinds of Gods within the Tower and all of them is seemingly grouped together within several culturally different "Godly Societies" within the 98th Floor of the Tower.

### **Olympus**

The Godly Pantheon that Hermes, Athena, Ares, Dionysus, Poseidon, Hephaestus, Nike, Nemesis, Persephone, Demeter, Hera, Apollo, Artemis, Nereus, Doris,Limos, Dike, Eunomia,Ceto and Zeus belongs to. Currently they are seemingly ruled by the 12 Olympian Council and wield formidable power. The Pantheon itself is seemingly made from entire generations of gods, with Zeus, Poseidon, Hera and Demeter being part of the first generation of Olympians and Hermes, Athena, Ares, Apollo, Artemis and Dionysus being counted as second generation as they are the first's children.

Currently the Olympians are majorly known for them having given a powerful hidden piece reward for the beginners zone of the tower. By completing and breaking the record in the trials of the 1st to 10th floor of the tower one can win the 12 keys to the Olympian Vault and obtain the right to collect a Godly Artifact from the vault as their personal weapon.

Due to the size and members within the Society, Its been stated that there are indeed multiple factions within the Pantheon. As seen where it was stated that Poseidon possessed his own faction of Gods within the Society that consisted of his children Gods.

The Olympian Pantheon was noted to possess a level notoriety among the various Gods due to them being notoriously known for being a family of "Usurpers". With the Asgardian God, Urd having been shown to regard them with open disdain and is apparently seen to despise the first generation Olympians due to them having killed their father. As noted by Brahm, a former god of the Deva Pantheon, Olympus is known to be one of the largest Pantheon's within the 98th Floor and the factions known most for meddling with the Lower Floors.

Currently its been stated that the Olympian Pantheon is currently divided into two factions, the Faction consisting of the Older generation of Gods being ruled over by Poseidon and Hera, and the faction consisting of the younger generation of Gods mainly spearheaded by Hermes.

#### **Other Related Pantheons**

The Olympian Pantheon are shown to be large enough that they themselves are the direct relatives/descendants to even older Pantheons of Gods who where their parent generations.

#### Titans

The Titans where stated to be the parent generation of Gods that existed before the current dominant Olympian Gods and where children birthed by Gaia that ruled the divine territory of Olympus, however due to them having gotten into a war with them and the Titans being defeated and where thus then banished to Tartarus and imprisoned.

So far, the Titan Godly Beings where shown to be different from their descendants as they appear as colossal gigantic beings and are stated to be even bigger than the Giant Race due to them having begun leeching power from Kronos's dead body to increase their powers and escape Tartarus.

Like their younger siblings, the Gigantes, the Titans revere and worship their "Mother" and holds their loyalty towards her.

After Kronos's death, the Titans came under the leadership of Theia and now work as subordinates to Gigantes under the Great Mother to help further her goals.

The Members of the Titans shown so far are Kronos,Rhea,Okeanos Perses, Astraeus,Iapteus,Mageara,Krios,Toae,,Cymo,Theia,Hyperion,Helios, Eos, Selene

#### **Gigantes**

Another Set of Godly Children born from Gaia, The Giants was one of the two of Pantheon of Gods banished to Tartarus after being defeated by the Current Olympian Gods alongside the Titans.

Currently the Giants are at war with Hades and are trying to escape Tartarus alongside the Titans. Much like their older siblings, the Giants revere their "Mother" and hold their loyalty towards her.

After the events of Hades's death, The Giants of Gaia have successfully taken over the territory of Olympus from their relatives.

The members of the Giants are shown to be Typhoon,Gration,Mimas,Polybotes

#### **Subordinate Pantheons**

Due to the Sheer power and size of the Olympian Pantheon, several of its greater Gods have been shown to have their own Sub Pantheon working under them that consisted of Minor Gods.

So far, Poseidon and Hades are shown to have their own subordinate gods working under them;

* **Poseidon's Faction:** As seen with his personal Clan/Cult of Triton (Clan), Poseidon has his own faction of sea gods that primarily consisted of his many Godly Children. This in turn allowed him to possess more than one Apostle due to his children's Apostle's ultimately answering and following his orders. So far Charybis,Antaes,Orion, and Triton have been confirmed to be part of their father's faction.
* **Dis Pluto:** Hades is also shown to possess his own faction of subordinate Gods that work under him that primarily acts as his soldiers and servants in his duties of handling and maintaining the Prison of Tartarus. In terms of power, it was stated that each member had power equivalent to a lower level Divine Being and had power superior to most Players. The Group itself consisted of twenty-four corps that consisted of lower Minor Gods, speaking volumes of their power due to them having still having strength equivalent to a God.
* Its members are Ray, Lam, Chanal

#### Elohim

As stated by Poseidon and Hermes, Elohim was once a tribe of Gods under Olympus prior to their "fall". During the early days of the Obelisk a certain incident had arised that involved the God of Darkness Erebus that thus then lead to Elohim being stripped of their status as transcendent Gods and being banished from the 98th Floor of the Obelisk to the lower floors.

Although unknown on what exactly the Olympian Gods relationship with Elohim, it is shown that the other gods of Olympus looks down at Elohim for their lost status as fallen Gods. However despite this, it has been shown that they are more than willing to use them as agents within the lower floors if the need arises.

### **Deva**

The Deva Pantheon is stated to be one of the larges Pantheons within the 98th Floor with hundreds of thousands of members. As stated by Vayu, the hierarchy of the Deva Society consists of the Eight Lokapala Gods that acts as the societies secondary leaders and the three Supreme Gods that acts as the the supreme leaders of the Society.

Prior to his incarnation, Brahm was also a member of the Deva Pantheon during his time as the God, Brahma and it was stated that despite incarnating and abandoning his identity as a God, he still retains some pull among his previous affiliation with them and was stated to still have some supporters from his initial followers as a God.

As stated by Brahm, the Deva Pantheon is one of the largest groups within the 98th Floor of the Obelisk.

Its members are been revealed to be Shiva, Agni, Vayu

### **Asgard**

The Asgardian Gods seemingly based off of the Norse Mythology are shown to have some pull in lower floors of the Tower. With the Three Platform Goddesses being the Three Norns of Norse Myth.

Asgard is known to be one of the largest factions of Gods currently residing within the 98th Floor.

Later it was revealed that Thor,Urd,Skuld, Verdandi, Odin, Freya and Heimdall are also present within the Pantheon.

#### Vanir

Its been stated that like Elohim, the Vanir is a tribe of fallen Gods that had lost their divinity during the chaotic times of the Obelisk's first days.

### **Chan Sect**

The Chan Sect is based of Chinse Mythology and Myth.

The Chan Sect is one of the largest Pantheons within the 98th Floor and has stated to be tied with the Deva, Asgard, Malach and Olympus Societies in terms of size and power. The Chan Sect is stated to be the main opponents and rivals of their Demonic Counter part the Jie Sect

After the Jade Emperor became ill and entered into a deep sleep, the responsibility of leading the Chan Sect soon fell onto Erlang Shen, Prince Nezha and Leizhenzi, who began leading the society in his place until he recovers. Under their leadership, it was stated that the Chan Sect's power grew even stronger than during its time under the emperor.

The members of this Pantheon are Jade Emperor, Hou Yi, Erlang Shen, Prince Nezha, Leizhenzi, West Empress Dowager, Daode Tianzun,Lingbao Tianzun, Sanhuang Wudi, Snapping Turtle, Kiku, Ji, Li Ju

### **Malak**

The Malak Society is the Godly Society seemingly based off of Christian/Abrahamic myth and legends. Along with the Chan Sect, Asgard, Olympus and the Deva societies, Malak was stated to be one of the largest and strongest godly societies within the 98th Floor.

The Society of Malak was stated to embody the concept of "Absolute Good" and has been stated to have been fighting against the "Evil" of the universe since the creation of its society. Due to this, its been stated that they are the primary rivals to the Demonic Society of Le'Infernal, who embody "Absolute Evil".

Malak in particular are well known for the exploits of its former member, Luciel, who after absorbing and taking the power of the **Fire of Beginnings**, the primordial fire left over from the Big Bang that created the universe, and evolving and becoming **Lucifer**. He would then become legendary for rebelling against the entire Heavenly World and singlehandedly fighting them off by himself with his new power, before being defeated by the combined efforts of the Gods and Demons within the 98th Floor.

After his defeat, his 14 wings torn from his back would then become the **Soulstone**, symbolizing the 7 Sins and 7 Virtues that contained his immense power that would then be scattered to both the Lower Worlds and the Heavenly Worlds.

Currently Malak is lead by Metatron and its members are Gabriel,Michael, Uriel, Raphael

### **Boh**

A lesser and smaller known Godly Society.

Its members are Les

### **Dilmun**

A Godly Society based off Mesopotamian/Babylonian Mythology.

Its members are Nergal,Marduk, Nabu

## Descendants

Gods and Goddess have also been stated to be able to mate with and have children with mortals. With several of the Race's of the Tower such as High Elves who are state to have the blood of the Goddess Freya, the Witches of Walpurgisnacht who were "birthed" by the Great Mother and even the Protogenoi who whose ancestors was stated to once be divine beings before "falling" and becoming mortals and even intermingling with Mortals. These children or descendants are then shown to possess immense power, skills, abilities and talents naturally given/inherited from their godly ancestors that gives them immense power. Effectively making them powerful war asset to the Clans within the Tower and causes clans to place particular importance in recruiting such Rankers as their members. Gods themselves also make use of such descendants as their agents and Apostles.

Due to the immense power such descendants possess Clans have horded and attempted to monopolize Rankers with blood of the gods through selective and careful breeding in order to consolidate power for themselves. With Elohim, one of the Top Clans in the Tower being known to be the most fanatical, arrogant and prideful of such clans due to almost all their members being Rankers and their families are descendants from Gods.

However despite the qualities and abilities of their godly parent's being passed on to their children and descendants, its been stated that eventually the Blood of the Gods eventually becomes diluted as the generations of their children's children becomes farther and farther away from their original godly ancestors until eventually the skills and abilities that their original Demi-God/God ancestor had disappears completely from the family line. This has lead to some clans such as Elohim, who possesses members and entire families and descendants with such abundant traits to take extreme methods to preserve their "pure blood" through selective breeding and genetic manipulation of their descendants to insure their cherished skills and traits are passed on to future generations. This in turn has even caused some of the families to resort to incest, genetic manipulation and arranged, possibly non-consensual marriages to maintain and develop their genetics by not introducing new blood into their genes to insure continued inheritance of its qualities or manipulate their genetics to further evolve their traits. Although its been stated that in the long run, this has simply caused more problems than gains.

### Primordial Gods

Primordial Gods are Gods stated to be responsible for the creation of a Heavenly Society and the world of that society. A majority of the leaders of the various Pantheons within the 98th Floor of the Obelisk are stated to fall into the category of Primordial Gods.

* Odin
* Jade Emperor
* Metatron
* Ouranos (Close to Emperor of Gods)

### **Conceptual Gods**

Another category of Gods are the Conceptual Gods, who were stated to surpass even the Elder Gods in terms of age and are seemingly more unique and more mysterious then their younger counterparts. Its been stated that these are the classification of Gods that came into existence during the beginning of creation. Its also possible for Gods of extreme age to Evolve into a Conceptual God with enough time, as seen where the "Elders" of Olympus had evolved into them due to their extreme age.

Conceptual Gods are stated to be the embodiments of the natural laws of nature and are integral in maintaining the universe. Its been stated that due to a conceptual God embodies a natural law, should they be "killed" or "destroyed" the law that they embody will be destroyed along with them, risking the destruction of the universe. Because of that Conceptual Gods cannot truly be killed, only defeated and sealed away.

Due to their nature's as being the embodiments of the universe's natural phenomenon, Conceptual Gods are stated to be near egoless, with their minds being described as being so vast that they can hardly form their own coherent thoughts. Because of this, despite their raw power, Conceptual Gods themselves are still defeatable as their minds are primal and are stated to only react on their base instincts and feelings. However, it has been shown that their are a few exceptions to this.

* **"Black King"**: Has been confirmed that the "Black King is also a Primordial/Conceptual God, being particularly known as the Conceptual God of Death, Chaos, Destruction, Nothingness and the Abyss that existed before creation and was widely feared by the other Gods and Demons of the Obelisk. The details are unknown, but it has been stated that this being once had a relationship with the other Gods of the 98th Floor of the Obelisk. Its been shown that for some reason the other Gods had betrayed him and that he had once been close to them, with him having had a close relationship with the Gods of Olympus and was shown to have some sort of relationship with all the Gods and Demons of Death, with Azrael the God of Death of the Pantheon of Malak having stated to be his servant. Due to him being a conceptional being that embodied "Death", it has been stated that the powers of all the Gods and Demons of Death originated from him and had in fact only inherited mere "fragments" of his powers. This has caused Cha Yeon-woo who received his artifacts, a mix of different reactions from them. With some, like Poseidon wanting eliminate him due to his connection to the King and some, like Hermes, Athena and Azrael wanting to protect and cultivate him.
* **Heavenly Demon:** The Heavenly Demon was stated to be the Conceptual God embodying "Light". As the conceptual god of Light, the Heavenly Demon was stated to have come into existence during the dawn of creation and was stated to be the only other being to come close to the Black King in terms of age and power. In terms of raw power, the Heavenly Demon was stated to have strength easily surpassing the Gods and Demons within the 98th Floor and was stated to have easily defeated all of them in various points in the past. In fact, it would later be revealed that the Heavenly Demon himself is the one responsible for creating the Tower and imprisoning the transcendents within it.
* **Great Mother/Mother Earth:** Its been confirmed that The Great Mother is indeed a Primordial Goddess, with her being known as a primordial goddess of creation and embodying the concept of "Reproduction", her having been confirmed to have played a vital role in creating the universe and the various dimensions within it. She in particular is the known creator and mother to many of the first Gods, Goddess, Demons, Giants and many other supernatural creatures in the cosmos. However due to her status as a Primordial God, was stated to be much closer to a concept than an actual sentient being and as such was much more powerful and unstable than the other Gods. Due to being more closer to a concept, The Great Mother was stated to possess no true personality and a fixed sense of identity, with her having been stated to have possess various personalities, personas, identities and sense of selves and constantly shifted between them. Despite the general rule of Conceptual Gods being near egoless, the Great Mother was stated to have been the sole exception and developed her own rudimentary sense of consciousness that allowed her to develop a sense of desire and thus to a limited degree, make choices.
* **Elders of Olympus:** The Elders of Olympus are the first generation Gods of Olympus that united together under Ouranos in order to form the united pantheon of Olympus during the early days of the Cosmos. Due to their immense age and power, Athena has stated that the Elders of Olympus have already begun to gradually evolve into Conceptual Gods and their minds have begun expanding and grown to the point that they have even begun to slowly forget how to utilize their [Powers] and [Authorities].

## Equivalent Races

Due to the sheer Power Gods possess, there are very few races within the Tower that even possess the strength to compete against them. With so far there only being 3 other races with similar innate strength to them, with a few rare exceptions.

### Demons

Normally, the typical Demons of the **Demon Species** born from normal **Demon Flowers** don't even have the intelligence to rival a God or the power to even annoy them. However once a Demon Species successfully evolves into a **High Low Ranked Demon** and evolves further into a **True High Ranked Demon**, it is stated that is when a Demon truly becomes a threat to a God.

As seen where the several large Demonic Societies are stated to reside within the 98th Floor of the Tower alongside the Gods and Goddess. And that several Demons located in the Floor are stated to have strength matching the Gods and as such are rivals to them. With the near extinctions of the Giant and Dragon Races, the Demon Race is now the Various Pantheons of God's main rivals.

### Giants

The Giant Race is another race of beings that were stated to have strength and power easily rivaling the Gods, as it was stated that thousands of years ago, the Giant Race once battled them in a war as equals. It was stated that the Giants were the God's main rivals during their time in the Tower.

However despite them rivaling the Gods in power, it was stated that the Giant race was defeated by them thousands of years ago and the Giants are now a near extinct race.

### Dragons

The Dragon Race is another who was stated to have power rivaling the Gods and one of their three main rivals during their time in the Tower.

It was stated that the ancient dragons of old, such as Kalatus had power equivalent or surpassing even the Highest Gods and had battled and defeated several of them himself.

### Unique Creatures

In the Obelisk's History, there have been at least two being with power equivalent or surpassing the powers of a God and a High Class demon but was never quite the same being.

The First being to go into this category, is Luciel, who is also known as "Lucifer", who despite not being a God had Power surpassing the beings of this Race and was hunted down and sealed by them due to him apparently being a threat to them due to being an "Anomaly". Luciel was stated to neither be a God or a Demon.

The Second Being to go into this category, is the Monkey King, also known as the "Great Sage", who despite originally only being a Yokai was able to reach the same level of power and strength to a God and was similarly deemed to be a threat to the Gods and imprisoned before escaping. Its been stated that he possess traits similar to a High Level Demon and God. It would later be revealed that his power was due to him being one of the reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon.

So far these two beings are the only unique creatures not belonging to either the Dragon, Giant or Demon Races that are stated to have strength rivaling a God and is worshiped and seen in the same light by the Tower's Residences.

With the Triplet's crowning achievement being their creation of the three divine weapons of their nephews. The Astrap, Triania and Kyee of Zeus,Poseidon and Hades.
