It’s never the real god, just a physical avatar. There’s still a lot of Batman vs Superman narrative horseshit in the idea though
“Oh you surprised the guy who moves faster than most speedsters and can hear and see everything around him. Sure, okay, then he leaves and throws an asteroid he found within half a second from orbit before you’re done blinking”

Wish can’t make you great, it can’t do much more than the equivalent of about half a level, you need a broken character design from the start
Of course there’s also support for epic level progression taking you beyond level 20. A druid at level 20 could face an army and win
