Given the themes inherent in both Rou's (Buddhism) and the Savior's (Christianity) characters, I think the difference between their Great Gods is simply in the concepts they represent. The Savior very much believed in a purpose behind her existence; it filled her with great joy to discover that she was the Savior and that she was meant to face Rou in battle. This justified all the pain and hardships she went through in her life and, even though she was only able to start truly living for a short amount of time (a little less than a year), she was completely satisfied with her life. Rou, on the other hand, just takes life as it is. The weak lose and are deprived from, the strong take and get even stronger. He's not without compassion, per se, but he can be quite ruthless.

So it might be that this is how the 2 Great Gods differ (one among many other reasons, I'm sure), where one puts a higher purpose to existence while the other one unquestionably accepts existence as it is without giving any greater meaning to it.
