I think the fact that they're at an explicit stalemate alone proves that, but I'll ask around for the exact quote.

Maybe the NT17 fight proves it? I bet they're still fighting each other in there without any of them dying.
“We can go all out without having to worry about the world!! In this isolated world, we
don’t have to worry about affecting anyone else!! It’s just so much fun!! Drool!!”

I remember reading it, but you have the scans saying Magic Gods can take 1 or 2 of each others full power attacks?

They were not aware that zombies had the concept of dying on their own until Aleister was murdered, and the NT13 incident occurred immediately after the NT12 incident.

Therefore, in NT13, when Nephthys and Niang-Niang mentioned "the same Magic God," the context that they could withstand 1-2 shots even when hit in an unguarded state suggests that they were likely speaking based on what happened during the Hidden Phase.

In other words, this implies that the expansion is possible even with the Magic Gods at full power.

"...Mama will allow her Lex to reach 4 here. One seal broken,
departing from human constraints." The words came from the mouth of
the 'Old Good Mary.'

"Come out, Trivikos. The experimental apparatus with which Mama
sealed the entire universe with her own hands."

If one does not fear being caught up and severed by the Trismegistus,
which imbues all phenomena with a keen sharpness, wouldn't it be
possible to blanket this universe entirely with slashes, covering it
in particle-level slaughter and destruction...?

Both clearly emerge as a universe, right? It's in the singular
form.

"Anna Sprengel. Despite being closer to a shrine maiden, she freely commands Aiwass, a transcendent being, and is a legendary magician to the extent that her reputation surpasses that of a 'Magic God.' That woman always walks on her own feet and appears directly in front of her enemies. I wonder why?

This sentence does not mean that Anna is more powerful than a Magic God, but rather that her fame and reputation are so legendary that they surpass that of a Magic God.

It's not even saying she surpasses them, but uses the metaphor "to the extent that she could surpass."

This is similar to how Aleister is a more legendary magician than Kingsford, but his actual abilities are far below.

The phrase used is not even "surpassed," but "to the extent that she could surpass."

I don't understand why it was translated with a definitive meaning.

"Legendary" has nothing to do with power.

If you ignore the other quote I posted, and if you ignore how magical skill/knowledge directly translates into combat ability, sure.

And the same quote literally has Othinus call her "the strongest" because of said capabilities/accomplishments.

Is it the [最強]strongest?
That modifier that has been attached to Accelerator countless times?

She always walks on her own feet and appears directly in front of her enemies.
Why is that? Because she's the strongest, because of her whims, because she wants to enjoy it herself.
That might be the case, but a much simpler hypothesis can also be proposed."
"Anna Sprengel has no reliable colleagues?"

If we look at the meaning of the words alone, the MagicGod who has the modifier "omnipotent" directly attached to them, surpassing even human imagination, would be the strongest.

That word has never been used to describe them. I do want to find the one time the series has used it tho

yes

i personally own all the original Japanese books in the Toaru series.
Should I provide the relevant passage for you?
Yeah, going to add it to the Respect thread

Anything other passages you think will be good to add for Magic Gods / explaining Toaru’s cosmology that I haven’t added yet feel free to let me know.

The Respect thread here is merged with this thread but I’m going to make a copy over at WorstGen

It's an actual passage from the book.

"Even if it was a long time ago, are you saying that you, who boast of omnipotence, couldn't handle that opponent?"

"It's Fräulein Kreutune, isn't it? Besides, even if we talk about omnipotence, it's ultimately only the level of omnipotence created by human imagination. Don't expect the kind of omnipotence that truly transcends dimensions, like that of a MagicGod."

If you need it, I can provide you with the exact original version of this passage.
