Well, in the end the Pure World's deity is nothing more than a theory like IB beign divine (the first has less base, though). Even if they are possible, there is still no implication in the series. I have some guesses about the other powers, but the only thing we can be sure of is that they from the "third side" (not completely sure about the "third power").

The "third power" is not necessarily stronger than IT. IT is implied to evolve and the "third power" could have "eaten" it just for a matter of compatibility. Also, the "third power", differently from IB and IT is referred as Touma's power, so this "third power" could be the reason why IB resides in Touma.

Touma's name probably means something, but it's not implication of him having a divine body. Apart form the fact that his parent are normal humans, after IB got removed and IT got crushed by Othinus in NT 4 he remained injured and unconscious. If he or his body were divine on their own he wouldn't have had problem in reviving himself. After all, a crushed hand wouldn't be much of a problem for a Saint, let a lone a divine being.
