The mythology in DxD is different in some aspects to real mythology. For example, Hades is stronger than Zues since he's in the top 10 even though in real mythology Zues is either equal or more powerful than Hades.

[Lucidrago]

Well Hades really doesn't do anything in the original myth besides chill in the Underworld. There really are no accurate descriptions to make between Zeus and Hades in the original myth.

[TommyG]

Lucidrago you keep pointing out that DxD myth and real myth aren't the same and you are right but using the same logic how do you know that any of the gods you have deemed evil are? Set could be the one who was killed by Osiris in DxD and Atlas may have voluntarily held up tue sky since only he could. It goes both ways

[Lucidrago]

I never acted like they were though. I was just speculating like I mostly do.

Zeus in the myths is more powerful than every other god (Olympian or otherwise) combined, with the sole exception of Nyx. Typhon crushes all of the others together and then Zeus kills him solo, among other things.

Didn't Zeus imprisoned Typhon in Greek mythology?

And really we can't say if all of the things in the original myth will be the same for DxD myth. Where in the original myth of Celtic mythology is Crom Cruach a dragon? And how do we know that Ddraig and Albion specifically belong to Celtic mythology?

So you don't know arthur a Celtic legend?

He was "imprisoned" in Tartarus, which is the afterlife. So basically dead except even worse since Tartarus is basically the super-max of Greek Hell's.

Can you say that in DxD that they all belong to the same mythology?

[Djeveler]

This reasoning is extremely flawed. Using the top members of a mythology as baseline for the power of unknown members is completely illogical.

That's like saying that since the Ouroboros is from Egypt, then Isis, Hathor, etc. are just below Ophis' level.

[Lucidrago]

Well Ophis kind of belongs to every mythology if you're into that kind of stuff.

Well I just say that DxD myth and the original myth are completely different.

I was replying to Parry999 lol. My bad, I didn't specify.

Some version say he being defeated and cast down to Tartarus, some say he being totally killed, some say Zeus imprisoned him by hurling a mountain to trap him and the mountain became a volcano. So actually there are no original myth at all because each myth have many version

Meh, the point is that Zeus fought and defeated him alone after Typhon had humbled the rest of Olympus.

[Beelzebub sama]

With ingvild being a half maou with a longinus that can control dragon gods, even at her current level she can already weaken Ddraig, Issei got one hell of a queen that can wreck vali

[Darksider555]

Ise can deal with most members of the rival teams & peerages with Ingvild's powers:

Sona's team: Ingvild can weaken or control Saji while usurping Sona's water manipulation with her own.

Sairaorg: Ingvild can control Ladora Buné with her SG.

Vali: Ingvild can weaken him or control him.

Riser: Ingvild can use her water manipulation to surpress his flames.

[vietthai96]

where it is implied that Ingvild is half-devil(maou blood)????

[Lucidrago]

Well she's a descendant of Leviathan and one of her parents is a devil.

@Darksider Let's just wait on the water manipulation part. It said she can control the oceans but I kind of want to wait until we get full confirmation on that.
