I think the issue (or the difference in my point of view) is his equating the evidences to ontological superiority which I highly disagree with it.
(beforehand it was existential superiority ?!)
I agree; there is
undeniable evidence that she is in a higher plane to the point power corrupted her and also Kratos referred to her appearance (thus the appearance is one of the evidence of her being in higher existence). There is no argument against it. I and Deagonx agreed with this.
But nothing in the whole post suggests any implication or indication of this realm size. Y'all forget that low 1-C is defined by a size, it is a tier. It is a structure of being spatially superior higher than a space-time continuum (or two higher levels of infinity greater) and a power or feat needs to be proven to be able to effect significantly this type of structure.
To realm
We can't simply assume that the realm is on higher dimensionality based on one single statement. Intangibility is not even relevant to the tiering. At best, that realm is some type of metaphysical or spiritual plane where the power is unreachable
(and non-reachability is not even proven, but rather a strong possibility)
To power
Neither the power that she gained can even be measured. It is unknown, there is no evidence of how truly strong is this power; it simply said to be superior to all other Gods. There is no evidence of it being significantly infinitely qualitative superior to the entire existence.
Author's interpretation
And I don't think the author was really explicit with his description regarding the power. He did not even imply the qualitative transcendence at all. All I can say is that he emphasizes the significance of Athena's arc in the overall series. Her selflessness and subsequent rise to a higher plane serve as a powerful narrative to convey a message about power, corruption, and the potential consequences of obtaining too much authority.
Let's go deeper; he was entirely talking within the realms of mythology and religion and not mathematical or in a physical sense. In various belief systems, the term “higher plane of existence" often denotes a realm or level of reality that transcends the ordinary physical world. It is not necessarily a physical place, but rather a state of being or consciousness that surpasses the limitations of the material realm (this is even proven that the series is entirely relied on those mythologies)
In our context, Athena's ascension to a higher plane of existence suggests that she has attained a more elevated and powerful state beyond the typical existence of the other gods. It could be interpreted as an advancement to a more divine or spiritual level of being, granting her access to greater knowledge, abilities, or authority.
My points are:
- There is no evidence of the size of this realm or place
- There is no evidence of what this power even do
- There is no evidence of if the power is infinitely superior to any other Gods who are 2-A
- As Tanir said; it is unquantifiable to measure the power; but in my opinion I describe it as “unknown”, but yet superior to other Gods.
