You'd think a God-class being would have the guts to continue fighting or rematerialize their clothing. Or even block/evade such an attack.

Anyway, IMO, by the end of this arc Ise will be capable of defeating Maou-class beings on his own (I'm getting this idea from Euclid and Belial, both of which are Maou-class in strength and both of which have/will get beaten by Ise). Gods are saved for the next arc!
