That's a character dynamic trope about a conflict between a skilled, arrogant character and a brutish, powerful one. The "god" part is not literal.

If the conflict escalates enough, it can lead to a {{Gotterdammerung}}. Compare CosmicChessGame, ArrogantGodVsRagingMonster, as well as RageAgainstTheHeavens when mortals fight the gods instead. See also TitanomachyRoundTwo for a specific form of DivineConflict in Myth/ClassicalMythology. Compare WizardsWar, for a more mortal-scale type of warfare that is ''usually'' less destructive.

** ComicBook/{{Ares|DC}} is often either instigating these against the likes of Zeus or Athena. Or is at least heavily involved in them like when he allied with Athena for her coup against Zeus in ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'' in order to usurp Hades so that he can kill off humanity in ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2006'' without fading away like the Olympians. Back in ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'' his fights were against Aphrodite and carried out by proxy since they and Artemis were the only Olympians still around and he and Aphrodite had a hate/love thing going on.

* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'': [[GreatOffscreenWar The Calamity]], an event that took place 800 years prior to canon, was triggered with the release of the Betrayer Gods, who began waging war against the Prime Deities on the material plane. The resulting war scarred the landscape of Exandria, completely destroyed the continent of Domunas, killed most of the population, and destroyed every single mortal city except for Vasselheim. After the Betrayer Gods were re-sealed, the Prime Deities decided to seal themselves inside the Celestial Plane by constructing a Divine Gate, ensuring that no god could physically appear on Exandria ever again to do more damage.

* The good, freedom-loving ComicBook/NewGods of New Genesis led by Highfather Izaya, and evil, oppressive New Gods of Apokolips led by {{ComicBook/Darkseid}} are locked in an eternal conflict with each other. It was settled through truce for a time with an exchange of Highfather's son Scott Free and Darkseid's son Orion, but when Scott escaped, Darkseid used that as a justification to restart the conflict.

* ''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure'' has this as the backdrop to the season's plot, [[spoiler:since the conflict started when Ophiuchus decided to respond with a hostile takeover of the Star Princesses' palace due to a disagreement over whether or not to give humans the gift of imagination, with the former strongly believing that HumansAreBastards and are not worthy of ''any'' divine gifts]].
