Sort-of OT - the megami in game terms

I recall it coming up fairly explicitly in the Hild arc - that Urd is the acknowledged daughter of Hild and the Almighty, and that the three sisters share a father, but had different mothers.
Well, the fact that they share a father but had different mothers was spelled out in the Lord of Terror arc. But unless you've got a different translation from the Dark Horse version I'm looking at*, I can't find anything in the Hild arc that says who their father is. Hild does say about Skuld, "Ooooh! She looks just like her daddy!" (Followed by a little heart shape). And she later tells Bell, "You're just like him, you know... like the side of him ... that I couldn't stand." But she never gets more specific than that.
As for Belldandy addressing The Almighty, in the Lord of Terror arc she spoke to Him a couple of times, including a flashback sequence showing how she first learned Urd was part demon. She called Him "My Lord" most of the time; "Almighty One" on at least one occasion. Well, if He wasn't a very there-for-His-kids father (which seems to have been true for whoever her father was), maybe she did become accustomed to addressing Him with impersonal formality. But it feels un-Belldandy-like, somehow -- to me, anyway.
