Powerful characters from the mythological era.

The existence of mythological characters is one of the most debatable topics among the modern generation. 

The story about their strength and glory is nothing new to us. We are fascinated by these characters by simply reading about them in books or watching any animation series. But can you choose one to be the strongest among them? The answer is no. We cannot rank them.

So let us make a list of some of the powerful characters from the mythological era.
