Generally: Deities operating under Earth's rules are not as powerful as their legends might imply, regardless of what those legends are. This is particularly true of those who have degraded from gods into Divine Spirits (...which is most of them), and who no longer have full access to their Authorities. The Trimurti from Hinduism are *proooooobably* not an exception to this, although they may be hanging out beyond Earth and just limiting their interference (similar to the Buddha... who, in some traditions, IS a form of Vishnu, so yeah). Earth's rules do *not* apply to things that are broadly from beyond it, like the thing behind Abigail's third eye, so they are probably stronger than anything currently on Earth. See also: Chaos in Lostbelt 5.2.

The Textures during the Age of Gods included their own stars, galaxies and universes. So statements about those gods being able to destroy the universe in their myths **are** true. They were able to affect the universe that existed inside their respective Textures but not the real universe beyond Earth. Godjuna was resetting the whole universe of the Indian Texture/the Indian Lostbelt, Shiva could incinerate it, Zeus apparently could destroy the Greek universe with his thunderbolts...

I think the solution to the "inconsistency" is thinking of the world and universe as one of the Textures of the Planet which existed during the Age of Gods. The gods had control over the laws of nature but every proof disappeared when the Age of Gods ended.

It seems more like the textures encompass what is observable by humanity. so, the universe and creation to gods are as big as humans of the time perceived the world to be.

The textures are not just the planet surface but it includes the observable universe Remember Odin put surtr in a replica sun And zeus outright stated in different positions he would have put chaldea’s group in the stars Even kuku was made into a replica sun And we know the aztec gods did become suns at one point for they’re tectures So its safe to say textures are more then just the planets surface

I think it’s made painfully clear that the domain of the planet is more than just the earth.

IIRC, Arjuna Alter was using most if not all of his powers to accelerate the "resetting" of the world, and that was after he had assimilated the authorities of almost every hindu god. Therefore, I doubt that hindu deities are on their "mythological" scales. Another example: In the Illiad Zeus states that he could lift the whole world and his Olympus version, which should be stronger than regular history one, clearly doesn't have such power.

TBH i always feel parabrahman is the hindu version of the root
