I don't agree with that understanding. Whole thing is rather rigid and technical. The Gods are a threat looming over the characters and they are presented with a challenge in terms of uniting humanity. Not even clear if their demand can be truly met and that, if it was, the result would really be a good thing for anyone. However indirectly, the Gods are challenging and opposing the protagonists.
