divine being

God or goddess

A divine being is a god, goddess, deity, or supernatural entity possessing powers beyond mortal capability.

The term encompasses figures from religious traditions—from the Judeo-Christian God to Greek Olympians to Hindu devas—as well as angels, spirits, and other entities occupying a realm between human and ultimate divinity.

The temple was built to honor the divine being who protected their city.
