It's possible that the Dieties of time are just all bark and no bite. They were the ones who somehow recruited an irredeemable villain as a Timekeeper who in turn went through the timelines multiple times so he could figure out a way to defeat Mark and friends, and in turn caused one timeline that 12 year old Sam died being unable to save his World and thus became the new Timekeeper.

The Dieties of time probably have no power other than simply overlooking time and recruiting a Timekeeper. Timekeeper Sam has a whole lot more power than they do.

It's also possible that Mark's defeating the Leviathan from the very first book would in turn give Mark a reputation as a 'God killer'.
