Power of the Verse
Characters like Lara are considered as Wall level physically and at least Wall level to Small Building level when equipped with several weapons. There are also dinosaurs, sea monsters and other creatures stronger than Lara. The existence of mass destruction weapons like nuclear bombs or the Midgard Serpent weapon, said to be capable of wiping out all life on Earth, boost the power of the verse higher.
The top tiers of this verse are the deities like Tezcatlipoca who is Aztec god of night. He was believed to be responsible for destroying the four Suns out of five.
