The Pagan Gods were killed so easily due to the fact they gained power from believers and since their followers are next to zero they were severely weakened. I speculate that they came to existence much like the judeo-christian god and Death but naturally not as powerful so they needed "good vibes" from followers to juice them up. At full strength it is possible they were on par with angels or stronger.
