This is for the divine beings that have lived long enough to completely master the 9th Sense.
This is the list of abilities 9th Sense Users will get, in addition to all other previous abilities mentioned before:
Thought Based Conceptual Manipulation: The Gods are able to control Natural Phenomenon, and create coneceptual planes of existence. For example, Hades created the concept of "The After Life" and can control the natural phenonmenon of "Death." Without Hades death for Humans becomes earsure. Hades can aslo interfere with the Dream World. Athena, Hypnos, Dream Oneiros, Vision Icelos, Portrayer Phantasos, and Modeler Morpheus can interfere with the Dream World. The Dream World also exist apart of Hades Underworld.Zeus's lightening can break free from Cronus's "Arkhein Phanomenon." Which allows Cronus, The Titan King, "to control all things in nature from different phenomena of the natural world that leads to "Death." The ability for Humans to speak, see, and even love was given to them by the Gods. When a battle of two Divine Wills clash it becomes a fight to establish a single Universal Truth. The Gods also created hope, plagues, fear, and bad luck for Humanity.

Hades Divine Will regenerated the bodies of the specters, as well as control them through mind, soul, law, and conceptual manipulation. Alone, whom was using Hades power, nullified Athenas power. Zeus can make any God into a human being by stripping them of their power. Pontos using the power of Dunamis can nullify Aiolias attacks. Zeus's seals around Cronus's weapon could nullify any attacks from the outside.
Mid-GodlyRegeneration, and Immortality; Types 1; 3; 4; 6; 8; and 9: The Gods can regenerate so long as the concept they represents exist, for example Eris will continue to revive, and regenerate as long as the concept of Discord exist. The blood of the gods, Ichor, gives them eternal life.The Gods can possess other beings, and use them as their avatar. The Gods have true bodies that exist somewhere else. For example, Hades true body exist in Elysium of his Underworld. Cronus's, The Titan Kings, body exist in Tartarus. Zeus's is in an unknown location. The Divine blood of the gods grants them eternal life. Regenerates wounds, and is an inheirt part of their state of being.
Acausality Type 4: The Gods are completely unaffected by causality trying to correct history due to their unique physiology. It was Athena's blood that allowed Shura to live, and stop him from being devoured, and corrected by history.
Abstract Existence Type 2: The Gods will continue to Regenerate as long as the concept they represent, embody, or the concept they created exist. Some Gods were born from human fear, and fear is their true essence.
Passive Aura, Empathic Manipulation, Fear Manipulation, Sense Manipulation, Perception Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Heat Manipulation, Life Manipulation, and Statistic Reduction: The aura of the gods cause surrounding beings to feel a variety of emotions such as fear, and love. The surrounding beings 6 senses then start to become disabled including the Mind. Once in the aura of the Gods you will end up obeying every word they say. The area around the being will start to have a significant increase in heat burning those near them if they cannot resist. Then lastly, the cosmo, the life force, of every living being around them will be drained causing them to lose strength, power, speed, durability, effectively weakening the affected beings.
Passive Attack Reflection: The Gods reflect attacks at others if they are not protected by the power of Miracles, a deity, or divine intervention.
