Same series
The useful question is not who is stronger. It is how the same story-world makes two different identities legible.

Clear power gap
YPS-2
Glass holds a meaningful power lead. A 2-tier gap is bridgeable only by exploiting scenario and DNA advantages aggressively. DNA tells a different story: Glass: raw destructive ceiling, Filo: how much the universe protects them. These are different character shapes, not different power levels. Filo is the more complex character study despite the power gap: a pattern common in isekai where the weaker character carries more narrative weight.
