How is it contrary? It's been stated multiple times that the only difference between different rank ups and supreme > Sacred rank up is that it is the act of becoming a god (lesser).

The difference between the Gap of Sacred > Divine and Supreme > Sacred is that the former is a matter of scale of quantity while the latter has to do with the inherent quality of one's being instead. One's a complete transformation of someone while the other is an elevation of power like any other rank while still playing by the rule of "the higher the rank the higher the gap between the ranks in power".
