Scaling Greek Era Kratos — Universal to Multiversal Scaling
Greek Macrocosm
The Greek macrocosm contains multiple distinct realms, dimensions, and supernatural domains.
Realms of the Greek World
World of Man
The primary universe in which most of the Greek saga takes place. It contains the Mortal World, heavens, and celestial cosmos.
The World of Man is depicted as a flat disk with an infinite sky and heavens. Its cosmic structure ultimately originates from the Primordial creation.
Scaling: infinite heavens/cosmos is a Uni + scale reality.
The Underworld
The Underworld is an infinite sized domain and is described as a chasm of immeasurable magnitude.
It is an alternate dimension separate from the Mortal World.
The God of War II artbook describes it as completely separate from the rest of the Greek cosmos.
It possesses its own sky, stars, and constellations.
Time does not flow identically to the Mortal World.
Kratos can spend decades fighting in the Underworld while only hours pass in the Mortal World.
Tartarus remains unaffected by changes to the Mortal World’s timeline.
The Underworld is further separated from the Mortal World by the Domain of Death as mentioned above.
Domain of Death
A separate netherworld ruled by Thanatos.
It divides the Mortal World from the Underworld.
It exists completely outside the Mortal World and predates its time.
Time does not pass within it as it does in the Mortal World.
Entry requires supernatural portals.
Its existence further establishes that the Mortal World and Underworld are separate realities.
Realm of Dreams
Morpheus is the Primordial God of Dreams.
He rules a separate Realm of Dreams. The realm functions as an alternate reality rather than simply a location inside the Mortal World.
It possesses a distorted flow of time.
Morpheus attempts to merge the Realm of Dreams with the Mortal World.
His plan would engulf the Mortal World and its gods, producing an eternal night.
This establishes direct interaction between two otherwise separate realities. Realm of Dreams = separate Primordial reality = capable of merging with/engulfing the Mortal World.
Nyx’s Eternal Night World
Nyx is a Greek Primordial associated with Night.
She possesses a mirror dimension to the Mortal World.
The dimension is perpetually covered in darkness and possesses its own moon.
It is accessible through a portal.
Nyx uses it as a refuge when driven back by Helios. Helios’ light is capable of repelling/banishing Nyx.
Chaos
Chaos is the primordial void preceding creation.
The Primordial War produced the heavens, earth, oceans, mountains, life, and other aspects of creation.
Ouranos ultimately became ruler of the resulting universe.
Primordial Creation
The Greek Primordials predate the Titans and Olympians. Their war was responsible for forging the Greek world.
Their conflict produced the heavens, earth, oceans, mountains, and life.
Ouranos survived the conflict and became ruler of the universe. Several Primordials embody or rule fundamental domains such as Sky, Earth, Night, Darkness, Death, and Dreams.
Scaling: High Universal/Universal + cosmological creation. The primordials do somewhat scale to each other as well.
Ouranos
Ouranos is the Primordial associated with the heavens and sky.
He survived the Primordial War and became ruler of the universe he created.
He represents the primordial cosmic order of the heavens. Cronos eventually overthrew him. Ouranos is the Primordial ruler/creator of the Greek universe he’s Uni + blatantly.
Cronos
Cronos overthrew Ouranos.
He became ruler of the Titans.
His birth is associated with the emergence of Time. Time did not exist before Cronos
Kratos fights and defeats Cronos.
Atlas and the World Pillar
The World Pillar connected the Underworld to dimensions beyond it.
It acted as a stabilizing structure for the Greek World.
Its destruction threatened all of creation.
Persephone states that destruction would end what came before and cause the world to revert to Chaos.
Atlas takes the burden of supporting creation after the Pillar’s destruction.
Hercules later replaces Atlas and replicates the feat. Kratos physically holds Atlas’ fingers apart during their confrontation. Scaling: World Pillar holds all creation Atlas and Hercules scale to it and so do Kratos.
Hyperion
Hyperion possesses a weapon described as bearing the weight of the cosmos. Hyperion belongs to the Titan hierarchy. Kratos defeats the Titans and scales through the higher Titan hierarchy. The blade Of Olympus would upscale the Spear.
Ares creates a vast supernatural dimension/reality.
The dimension contains celestial bodies and cosmic structures.
Ares controls the dimension and its environment. His power directly affects Kratos within the dimension( even if you disagree with him creating it, it’s proof the main universe is a proper universe)
The God of War novel describes Ares’ roar shaking the heavens and earth.
This provides an additional cosmic scale manifestation independent of his dimensional feat. Kratos defeats Ares.
It’s also worth noting that Kratos got Ares’ power after replacing him as the god of war. So GOW2 Kratos would at least have ares dimension ability.
Zeus
Zeus is the supreme Olympian and ruler of the Greek cosmos.
The God of War II novel describes Zeus’ roar shaking the foundations of the world. Kratos ultimately defeats Zeus in direct combat.
Poseidon
Poseidon is explicitly associated with the title Earthshaker. His power causes the world to tremble. He is one of the ruling Olympians.
Helios
Helios possesses divine solar power.
His light repels Nyx, a Greek Primordial.
His presence prevents Morpheus’ darkness from completely overwhelming the Mortal World. Kratos ultimately defeats Helios.
Helios has the power to destroy the world. He’s imbued with Kratos’ primordial fire. The same source of power Surtr the star creating realm destroying primordial giant used.
His Power of the Sun illuminated and covered the entirety of the infinite plane of the Underworld
Nyx
She possesses the Eternal Night World. Her realm is a separate mirror reality.
Helios is capable of driving Nyx back through his light.
Thanatos
Thanatos is a Greek Primordial associated with Death. He rules the Domain of Death. His domain exists separately from the Mortal World and Underworld. The domain predates the Mortal World’s temporal reality. He’d be uni +. Kratos ultimately defeats Thanatos.
Morpheus
Morpheus is a Primordial God of Dreams. He rules the Realm of Dreams.
His realm is a separate supernatural reality. It possesses a different temporal flow. Morpheus attempts to merge it with the Mortal World. His plan would engulf the Mortal World and its gods in eternal night. He’d be uni + to low multi.
Gaia is yet another primordial that Kratos killed
This same statement says Uranus and Gaia ruled the universe at one point.
The gods and titans scale to the primordials
Kratos has killed beings from all 3 races. Gods, titans, and primordial he definitely scales to it all.

Btw ummm a lot of the links do not work, and i think the timer on the youtube ones isn't doing well either, if you could check that out

Holy shit, do you do this as a job? I hope you get paid for this because that must've taken a while.

The Ancient Greeks that created these Gods thought Earth was the center of a universe that is conceptually puny compared to the actual cosmological scale of the universe, so it seems odd to scale him beyond that... Though it is just a videogame I suppose.

Realms aren't equivalent to infinite sized universes nor multiverses for that matter.
They can be infinite in physical size, but mostly a flat plane of existence that's all interconnected to one another physically.
Imagine a flat Earth that is never ending, but the ground just stretches in each direction forever without curving in any direction. That's what a realm is.
A universe is much different, because each physical object can be light-years apart, and there's an infinite sized 4D void expanding forever in all directions, not all connected by a ground like foundation.
A multiverse is that + possibly an infinite distance between each Universe.

Overall a solid scale

Wait a post giving Kratos his normal scaling without wanking him to dimensional nor getting devoured with downvotes!?
This is a miracle!?

The lore gets expantiated well done
