I think what Kronos is trying to say is that the more people worship and believe in a particular deity, the more important and centric it becomes in their society. Just look at Athena and how important she was for the people of Athens. She was depicted as one of the most powerful deities and, presumably, had a very important role in the people's lives. So I think that a god's power is derivative of his status in a society and how much people worship him.
