They did not have any transcendent beings commanding the vast majority, but they had a higher level of intelligence than all other living beings that was distributed across all of them. The viability of humanity was exceptional at the time, as though it was slight counting singular humans, their force in sheer numbers was high. Living things normally have the instinct to adapt their surroundings to something better suited for the habitat, but gods merely "existed" no matter their power. The gods of Mesopotamia found themselves lacking viability towards the end of their age and the start of the human age. Each facet has their own Saint Graph, but their Divine Core is always the same. Deities by nature tend to be multi-faceted, resulting in multiple forms: one example is Parvati, who may also appear as Kali or Durga.

Gods possess Divine Cores (神核, Kamikaku ?) within their Saint Graphs. High-level gods like Amaterasu are powerful enough that even the time axis has almost no bearing on them. The second category, the gods of modernity, came to the forefront after their passing. They reigned as the laws of heaven, controlling humans through methods like the birth of Gilgamesh, though that worked against them to end their age. Ea was one such god that performed the act of building the planet, and many others began to build nations after the primordial earth was stabilized in myth.

The gods of ancient Mesopotamia, the gods of antiquity, were part of the first category, natural phenomena possessing intentions and personalities. Beings like heroes and messiahs that are "systems necessary to thrive" fall under that category. Those that were already there include heavenly bodies like the sun and moon, natural phenomena like storms, earthquakes, thunder, and wind, or others like the "power of the planet that stabilized the surface of the earth." Those that were reborn as gods were close to human originally, but deviated from humanity through various factors to become objects of worship. Gods are split into two categories, those things that were already there that became gods after becoming objects of worship and those that were reborn as gods. Some such as the gods of Olympus age over time, having to eat golden apples to keep from aging, while others like Stheno and Euryale are born as immortal idols. There also exist cases like gods becoming infamous as icons of terror, distorting their appearances through the human thoughts and ideals that formed them. They grow stronger the more people worship them, but have been reduced to normal Divine Spirits since the end of the Age of Gods. Gods were beings formed by the thoughts of Humans and born into the world without being influenced by the will of the people.
