Just as an extension of what I said, the gods ONLY lose their divine power when they make a hero or monster the Major Character of one of their Psalms. Otherwise, if the hero or blessed monster dies, they simply lose the investment of divine power they used in giving the person a blessing. When a hero is made into a Major Character of a Psalm, if they lose in a fight against another Psalm's Major Character, the divine power of the god who blessed them is taken away and gifted to the god of the winner.

Some more information; the "soul weapons" heroes obtain are all Sacred Treasures, but heroes don't automatically have them. The Blazing Destruction Hero, for example, only gained his soul sword some time during the 2 year period he spent adventuring and grinding levels at Aquarium Forlia. When he finally conquered the dungeon, he unlocked a bit more of his soul sword's powers.

The heroes that the 18 Warlords and Parabellum fought against didn't even have their Sacred Treasures.
