Great Emperor is wordy, true, but "The Great" isn't really an appropriate translation as it is just an associated title.

斧滅 is axe THEN destroy, not the other way around. Call it Axe Destruction or Axe Destroyer, either would be fine in the context, don't you think? This really depends, tbh. The text is often read from right to left to make it make any sort of sense, anyway. I doubt that's the case with this...but...yeah.

It gives off a very powerful image, since a collapsing star can result in a supernova or a blackhole. As for this...Sage might sound good...but...they each translate to roughly the same thing, but TOGETHER they mean "Head Priest" or "Spiritual Guide"...which is why I went with Priestess. It doesn't have the "Head" bit...but...yeah. I'd honestly say it's more accurate than "Sage"...since that has actual kanji that mean it in and of itself. Head Priestess felt...off...somehow, too. Which is why I just went with Priestess. ^^
