Hey guys! So I'm planning on having a pseudo-god in my story; someone who is incredibly powerful, has lived a long time and rules over a race of people. He mostly remains hidden from the world. I haven't decided how to end his story but it will invoke a fight at some point. So my question is: any stories about gods that can be killed or are immortal but can still somehow die? If so, how so? I can only think of Greek and Roman gods off the top of my head. Thanks in advance!

So most mythologies/theologies have end-of-world scenarios, and most have gods being killed by one another (sometimes permanently, sometimes not).

You might be interested in reading up about the Mahabharata, as it has a scenario similar to the one you’ve described.

Then there are gods who die by trickery–for example, Thor almost died when he was tricked into dancing with Ælde because he hadn’t packed enough apples of eternal youth. And Balder died when shot with an arrow made from mistletoe (the one thing that hadn’t sworn/been asked to swear to do him no harm)

Gods also die frequently in stories about the changing seasons (some of whom come back). One such is Hafgan who was killed by a mortal through trickery.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you need more information.
