For one who rules a world, power is everything, but the most important power is not an individual's strength but the strength to move people's hearts. With that power, you get people to follow you, trust you, love you, worship you. You may be a ruler of a certain area. A mayor of a town or a city. You may be noble with many commoners whom you rule over. You may be a king or even an emperor of an entire nation.
Still, these feats and statuses are small in comparison to the highest reach you can aim for. The peak of this journey is to become a god but no god has become great alone. They have an entire pantheon of other greats following and aiding them. They rule entire pantheons with the emperors, kings and lords swearing obedience to them.
This universe is filled with gods and different worlds. The great pantheon and world of Olympia whom god Zeus rules or the great pantheon and world of Asgard are just a few noticeable samples of these great gods and worlds.
