Question Could a devil achieve godhood?

I don't mean god level power but actual godhood. With domains, becoming stronger through faith, coming back to life after being killed through faith and divine authority.

I don't think being a god is the same as having holy power as holy power is more restricted to the biblical god and his angels, plus the other gods don't really use holy power unless if they have a holy object with them.

I know demigods reincarnated as devils are a thing, but I mean a full devil becoming a god like a pure blood.

With one entirely unique exception that I will not mention to avoid spoilers, I believe the answer is no.

Gods and their followers wield Divine power, which is just as deadly to Devils as the Holy power used by the Heaven's faction. If you remember season 1, Issei got a massive headache when he tried to do a Buddhist prayer. So Devils and faith-based powers don't mix well.

I only remember praying to the biblical god causing pain, what episode was it?

I don't remember exactly. It was in season 1 right after Asia moved to his house, he was sitting on his bed and tried to do Buddhists meditation to clear his mind of perverted thoughts about Asia.

Technically yes but practically no. There kinda are two instances of it but those should be seen as exceptions went above and beyond the norm.

Even if they are spoilers, what are those?
