In 2E he accidentally destroyed himself in the process before being resurrected (with his undead counterpart Tenebrous also becoming a thing), the 3E Ghostwalk setting featured Orcus as a god, and in 4E Orcus attempted to use a shard of the Abyss' core to kill the goddess of death, gain her divine spark to become the new god of death, and then use this divine influence over the fates of souls to turn all who die into undead thralls.So "god" is, at least in some depictions throughout D&D history, definitely a step-up from demon lord or devil.</blockquote>
