May be, but honestly I don't think that what Sensei seeing are real gods. Maybe except Nao.
IIRC, Hope had never directly called himself god and avoided direct questions. We have a bunch of other gods here: Yasu's god, someone who Maya names god, possibly unnamed fourth god from "All For You" (Think back to the holy trinity and question why it was ever deemed a trinity in the first place since the cross has {b}four{/b} points, not three.). It is also a fair assumption that there is a god who can just reset Sensei if he displeases him. Gods seems to be a serious problem and we actualy know almost nothing.
At this point, we know almost nothing about them, but that they are important. For instance, history of callous ball of light and wired god can be interpreted by just Sensei's rationalization of his trauma. Speaking of Hope, we have seen that Sekai is using angels, so either she is already a god or angels not always related to gods.
I honestly don't know is there a real god(s), or just supernatural creatures who pretends to be them. I just don't see any idea underneath current setup but common "fight god" trop. It might be, I admit it, my conclusions are possibilities, not even hypotesis
I mean, not to be crude, but gods
are supernatural creatures. I do agree that these numbered gods are likely just creatures that are called such things though.
Also seeing as how Long Maya could send Sensei back in time if he answers a question wrong, and implied she could send him back to the beginning, I don't think you even need to be considered a god to reset Sensei.
I do think it's the god of wires/the second god/User 2 that's behind the resetting and affection process stuff, but fortunately they seem to:
want to protect Sensei. Whether that's actually good or true, I'm not sure. It also seems to require permission to do things, and seems to be the god that Maya prays to.
As for the other gods, the way I see them is:
The first god is User 1/Nozomu/HOPE/Yasu's god, etc, and it seems to want to use Sensei for it's own means which don't seem good:
Nozomu itself translates to Hope, and Yasu's god seems to share traits with this god. Many eyes, dead but not dead, callousness, the light, etc.
Then there's the third god who is User 3/Pareidolia and seems to claim to not be on Sensei's side, but plans on using him for good:
and is the only one who knows how to use him, or so it says.
Then there's the apparently 4th god, User 4, etc. The one who might need to be everything:
and it might be what Pareidolia has seemingly warned us about:
Overall: the gods seem to be derived from Sensei. Wanting to use, protect, or be something to him.
Btw, Sekai and HOPE seem to be related due to Nozomu/Hope being her husband. Same with Ami, and Mangled Ami, etc, being their daughter, hence the callous god stuff. They all seem connected. That could be why Sekai has seemed to alter the Angels after the beach, since they serve her as well. Of course, she may have just usurped HOPE. We haven't really seen it since if I recall, and Yasu could just be being deceived at this moment.
Of course, there's also "the world" which might be another name for Sekai, but at this point "the world", Sekai, Nao, and User 4 are all enigmas. Then there's this "the old one" that's around now, and Nao-chan. So, yeah, not entirely sure what's going on at the moment.
I don't think "killing god" is really what the game's going for though. Even if an Unnamed Baby claims otherwise:
Of course, I could be wrong, and if so, I apologize Unnamed Baby for not trusting you.
