This has been answered before. In Japanese culture and the way they speak/write. "the power of" means in -Plain English- that SHE HAD IT. The physical object. If they say "she had the power of God" then it would basically mean -in plain English- She was God. GET IT?

In this regard he was not "reading too much into it". It's how the Japanese speak and the meaning behind that short phrase that goes with it. We English speaking people do not attach the same meaning because we don't share the same culture and mannerisms. A lot of the original meaning gets lost in translation.
