Extraordinary persons were often not ranked solely by combat power, and this was even more true for gods with their separate duties.

Although their overall strength far surpassed that of mortals, they possessed infinite might only within their own divine offices or domains. In other aspects, they were merely somewhat stronger than fourth-rank beings.
