That night he wakes from a nightmare bathed in sweat. “I’ll have none of your favors, God!” he shouts. “I am no longer afraid of your Judgment! I have more compassion than God Almighty—more, more! He is a cruel God, ***a Man of War***, a God of Vengeance. I will not serve Him. It is an abandoned world!”

боевой корабль, броненосец и пр
Man-of-War, Man-o'-war всегда - с 16 века - означало боевой корабль, а не просто человека-воителя, причём корабль с самым мощным вооружением, и в данном случае я бы сказал "бог-броненосец". Любопытно: о судне вообще - she, но о главном боевом - man
Example sentence:
The man-of-war (also man of war, man-o\'-war or simply man) was the most powerful type of armed ship from the 16th to the 19th centuries
