I wonder if maybe the God Slayers were originally created to reign in the Dragon Slayers, after they beat and almost wiped out the Dragons. Since God Slayers are resistant to Dragon Slayer magic of the same element and Dragon Slayers have a hard time defending agains a God Slayers attacks, I'd fit nicely.

The name might have been psychological warfare, or something that changed over the last 400 years.

I know Zancrow talked about it being made to kill gods, but that might just have been trash-talk to provoke Natsu. Either way he didn't exactly seem the scholarly type to really research the origin of his magic.

Come to think of it, why was Chelia hurt by Wendy's wind attacks, when Zancrow was immune to Natsu's flames? Is she simply less skilled than Zancrow was?
