What Happens After a God Dies?

I promise this is an interesting question. --- There are many stories in which divine beings come to an end. But what happens after a deity perishes?

Would they ever really go away? 0:00 Fallen Gods 1:20 The Drowned Giant 3:24 Forgetting the Divine 5:09 A God of War 7:08 The Mountain that Fell 8:56 Mother of the World 11:09 Metal Monsters 13:29 The Leviathan 15:54 Healing the Divine 18:33 Hyper Light Drifter 20:11 A Giant’s Resurrection Media Shown: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Xenoblade Chronicles 1, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, The Drowned Giant: Love Death and Robots, Jusant, Everest, Hyper Light Drifter, Hyper Light Breaker, God of War (2018), God of War 3, Leviathan, Heavy Metal, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Owl House, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Subnautica Copyright Disclaimer: Under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education, and research.
