Hence why I was thinking Marienn could be half-human and half-divine. To explain why her stats would be so huge. Then again, this is a 'verse where humans can train themselves to the point of splitting mountains and more. Takes about thirty decades or so but you get the point. For a human to reach and surpass the level of a god would take several centuries, as I mentioned before.

Since when has gods ever been logical? They are simply mankinds attempt to explain natural phenomena. Has there ever been a logic that says that a human cannot defeat a god? I don't know of any book or universal law that says otherwise. Unless said god is omnipotent. Then we are arriving at the doorsteps of Suggs or Kevin's Blog.

And martial arts training isn't the only way: Making a contract with a powerful enough demon for example would provide a means. A contract with a god works too. Injecting yourself with divine blood or eating their corpse. There are several methods. But most of them would only yield enough power to get to the lowest rank. And they wouldn't get any special abilities or anything like that. Just the physical stats.

In a sense, gaining such strength through martial arts is the safest option. But it takes a toll on your sanity as well as your sense of time.

And care to elaborate what you mean by divine potential? And personally I think the term evolution only holds meaning when there is a need for survival or to ensure the survival of your species by breeding. Gods doesn't have the need for that. Hell, you could say they lack the instinct altogether. Wherever they walk, they leave a trail of golden dust, that when they die, reassembles them.

... Yes. I am still making up things on the spur of the moment. That golden trail thing was something I got from Gilgamesh in Fate/Zero whenever he appears or disappears.
