cosmic struggle
Battle among stars
A cosmic struggle is a conflict of universal or transcendent significance—forces of good against evil, light against darkness, order against chaos.
The phrase appears in religious and mythological contexts where opposing powers battle for supremacy over existence itself: The film portrays a cosmic struggle between ancient gods.
More loosely, any conflict framed as having vast, almost spiritual stakes: Their divorce became a cosmic struggle over who was right.
