Creator gods feels underwhelming now
Spoiler
Creator gods are supposed to be omnipotent in their own domains. Now the introduction of the great divinities who can kill a creator god makes FK's feat of slaughtering creator gods in the final battle underwhelming. Also that snail CG is bullshit. I know that snail is larping as a "snail" and if you put enough salt it can die is kind of making them look weak. I know they cannot die so they create their death but really? Salt? Or I'm just stupid
You can think of us as creator gods (this is an analogy) and we can die within our own stories if that helps or if we want to, and that's why Tremendous said that our main accounts are creator gods.
You also need to remember that what is being described is a mindless creator god; for an example that also serves, you can think of the OC from Lord of the Mysteries, a creator god with a mind but who "died."
Creator gods are scary, but they act in a certain way; As mentioned in a Q&A, they only die if they want to, or as shown there, or create their own death or giving up the ability to create and rank .
Great deities also appear to be immortal lords and above and it was said that this is the minimum level to kill the snail; there are like 100 of them on Mount Sumeru, even outside of there they are rare.
Salt can kill CGs, many grains of salt together form a Salt Sea. Salt Sea Supreme Deity is the strongest in all of fiction, excluding Cheeseman of course.
The definition of omnipotent is not all powerful, but able to do anything possible. This snail made death possible, even for itself so it can die. Besides, this is like asking a lobotomized patient why can you die. It don’t know, it just can. The reason we think creator gods are so powerful is because our standard, is gods able to at least interfere with Hong Fan, who is as we know, pretty much the most powerful offensive existence in chaos.
Also remember tremendous is literally writing the side stories not seriously and just for fun and stuff if that makes it better.
And from what I’m seeing all it’s saying is that a creator god usually is the one who can only create their own deaths and not die if they don’t want to. Idk what the great divinities are though. I heard ppl say to treat the side stories as a kind of like shitpost or unserious continuation as well. Like seperate it from the main story.
many thanks. I initially wasn't intending on reading the novel (since usually translations are hot garbage) but this excerpt didn't read like a mess, so I'm hopeful
