In a setting with a few or more gods, there is often one who stands above all the others. This god is usually one of the following: * King of the Gods: Not that different from the rest of the gods, but he tends to have the benefits of Authority Equals Asskicking in full effect. He's often applicable to You Kill It, You Bought It if someone challenges his title. See this article on Wikipedia for more info on these types. * God of Gods: This version is as far beyond the other gods as they are beyond mortals. He is often a stand-in for the Abrahamic God, or at least a Crystal Dragon Jesus Expy. Rarely do the "lesser" gods worship this being, although they may. It depends on the work in question. It's called Henotheism in Real Life.
