There are numerous reason why I do not consider her a "god" even though she is called a magic god.
The first reason is that her reality warping is very underwhelming. Her reality warping works in that she is only capable of changing our universe and reality warp it once at a time. Another is that her reality warping works in a way that she herself describle in NT 9 as I quote her "
“Call me a god. And what I have done is simple. I have created new filters and placed them over the world so the world appears to have changed. That is why the world appeared changed to you. This is a lot easier than destroying everything and building it back up every time. And your right hand contains the power to level out any foreign elements in the world, so it has difficulty functioning when I change the world itself. …Still, results are everything in the world. In the end, history will record it like this: the Magic God repeatedly destroyed the world and created new ones to make a single boy suffer as much as possible.”" - From Toaru NT 9 Connecting the lines
This proof that all her feat of "recreating the world and destroying it" are all nullify because she isn't doing it. She is merely changing the phases and changing the appearances of it. Whcih mean she literally have no feat of her destroying the entire universe and recreating it from nothing.
Another thing that bothers me about her is that a human did what she could not. In Toaur NT 10, Alester himself was able to go to the very phase that Othinus could not reach and breach it to reveal the other existence of the "magic gods"
How can a mere human do what a mere god couldn't? Isn't that contradictory?
From the epilouge of NT 10
"But in truth, there had been one more layer. It was as uniform as a thin membrane, it had not even the slightest seam, and it could not be detected or destroyed by anyone, but one last phase had existed.
This black world was the place not even Magic God Othinus had been able to destroy."
The book itself state the Othinus could not destroy this last phase of the world. How is a god a god when he/she could not even destroy everything in a universe?
Okay Wilson Yu, than what is a god to you.
To me a god is someone who is capable of destroying universes and creating them like they are raindrops. Their powers are not limited to one universe because their power is unlimited. They can change all of creation including every single bloody universe and multiverse that are out there and they are omniscient and omnipotent meaning they know everything and nothing can stop them.
Is Othinus Omnipotent and Omniscient, nope and nope. A fairy spell stopped her power, and she did not know why she was losing to Touma in their infinity battles in NT 9 when Touma almost defeated her. (Don't want to quote this because anyone who read NT 9 should know what i am talking about) (Why am I taking more damage even though I am a god - Othinus, Cause this is fun - Touma)
Another thing that she could not perfectly recreate the world that she was from. How can you not perfectly recreate a universe when you are a god. Mind blowing.
“I don’t know the details of this whole ‘phase’ thing, but you have the ability to freely change the shape of the world like clay. Due to that, you completely forgot what world you originally lived in. You desperately tried to create a world based on the scenery you remembered. You added in and removed phase after phase. …And this was the work of a god. It was probably so close to perfect that no human could tell the difference. But as a god, ‘close to perfect’ wasn’t good enough for you.” - NT 9
In the quote from above Touma is telling Othinus (Why is he always correct, seriously) what her problem is. At we all know he is always right when he do this, don't know why but well yea..........
Anyways there are many instance in the book that proofs that Othinus is not a god even thoug she is titled as magical god.
Othinus is far from a god, she is a failure and I am pretty sure all of the other magic gods that reside in that one hidden phase of the world will agree with me.
TL;DR
she is not a god, book proofs it in my eyes. You guys can all say she is a god and that her powerful reality warping proofs she is a god but she is not to me cause she isn't omniscient or omnipotent. Not only that but if she really is a god, why is she in the book. She could solved all her problems with a snap of a finger and yet she have not demonstrate that one bit. A God is very boring to put in a book because if they are truly god there would be no plot.
But eh that is my opinion and nothing else. My definition of a god is very high in the sky.
