Buddha is not a demigod , he is an incarnation of god i.e he is supposed to be same lvl as a god…Was disappointed to see him be killed by a mortal king.

I called them “Demigod’s” because there are similar characters who are at the same sort of range of power that don’t fit into the category of a “God.” Timur, Qin Shi Huang, Atilla, Cyrus, Arthur, Lucifer, Sun Wukong. So for the sake of power ranking convention I labeled them as “Demigods.” Furthermore if you want to get technical the Buddha is not a god, nor an incarnation of a God. He is simply someone who has “Awakened”. If you mean a “God” in the western sense as a figure of worship than I do apologize. However if you mean he is an omnipotent being who holds all power of creation, then no he is not.

Bruh, remember that the game does twist on mythological and legendary figures, so even those recognized as gods can die or be defeated
edit just consider it like a blended juice with little bits of percy jackson, fate and record of ragnarok toss together

In my view, when Arthur loses control to Excalibur, the sword does something similar to what Lucifer does, but even more advanced, taking over the wielder’s mind completely. But Lucifer, even if he can’t affect the sword itself, can still affect the wielder’s (in this case, Arthur’s) body. Now, we haven’t seen Lucifer fight yet and we don’t know what Arthur and Excalibur’s mental toughness is. So the fight could be one-sided or a rope-pulling battle between those with stronger mental powers in the case of controlling Arthur’s mind and nerves.

Buddha is an incarnation of Vishnu according to Hindu mythology.
Furthermore all ten avatars are worshipped as gods themselves so technically he is a god.
I understand your perspective ofc but such a powerful figure going down so easily just irks me a bit

Fair, but that’s kind of the whole point of this story with the main character isn’t it. The fables/stories that people know are far from the truth. All of the origin MC’s have extraordinary abilities but they’re still people. Lucifer for example in christianity is a fallen angel who believed himself capable of replacing god because of his pride. In this story he’s the creation of Jehovah and was forced into an impossible situation where his creator used him as a killing machine and was fully ready to cast aside Lucifer at any moment.

Im talking about the power scaling , not the plot …For example, if instead of Timur it had been a demon or any other powerful evil being it would have been a bit more fitting I think.
That’s why the author had the warning.
“Many of the myths and legends characters are based on will not be very, or at all, accurate. They have been changed in order to tell the story a different way.”
well if u read.

Timur was known as a demon historically … who is to say he isn’t a demon in this fable?

It’s just that characters like Timur and Attila seem kind of like the odd ones among mythological figures. It’s alright if the buddha dies in the plot , but mortal kings killing of mythological beings …It’s a bit of a disappointment for me , it’s just something I felt while reading that part.

Sure , and Atilla was known as the Scourge of God …Only to get assassinated by one of his wives.

atleast he still got a title
to be known by a title is to be immortalized for history-me

And Achilles was invulnerable in all of his body, but his heel … my point still stands strongly

Achilles was still a mythological figure though. Timur and Atilla are mortal kings who got their titles due to military conquests.

The Greeks believed Achilles to be historical … my point is that in this fable, “what” the protagonists and cast are is determined by the author.
Zeus, Ishtar, Buddha, and others are presented as unique in this story’s ethos and I feel we can’t look too far out of the presentations within the scope of this story, or we’d find that cross-comparison is hair-pulling frustrating.
I mean technically, looking at each option in their traditional mythology, means that each is supreme over the other.
So, let’s let the author develop his arcs, and then provide feedback.
He has already shown he listens, as he is rewriting Ishtar and her power set, after receiving feedback.

It’s true that each myth will paint their characters as the greatest.
I was just stating what I felt upon reading that part of the story. I hope I didn’t come across as argumentative.
