To everyone speculating on this, here's my version:

Yes, seeing how things went in the final moments of the film you'd think Tet was some sort of being, otherwise it wouldn't make sense if Riku has been playing with him since he was little. That works, but you're discarding one possibility: some sort of double-personality within Riku or simply his own inner desires. Even during the film, Riku asks himself if keeping his sanity in such an insane world can still be called sanity (which can lead to some mental problems, but let's move on).

My guess is that Tet is actually Riku's will made into a living being. For example, why would Tet make 10 pledges so similar to the 6 ones Riku made for the colony? Why would Tet say, exact words from the film, that he never lost even once (2 minutes and 40 seconds in the film, if you want to check) to Izuna? Even tho he technically lost once at chess against Sora and Shiro before they entered Disboard? Why would Tet, during the third episode of the series, have such a reaction when Sora asks him "how does it feel to lose for the first time?" It felt as if he didn't consider it a loss at all or something of that sort.

Anyway, there are quite a few things that make me believe Tet is just Riku's "soul" if you want to call it that, rather than a God. I mean, even the wiki (which takes info from the Light Novel I believe?) says that thanks to the magic in the planet's core and Riku's wish, Tet was born.

All this makes me wonder how come Imanity was the only race without an Old Deus tho. Could it be each race actually "created" their own Old Deus to represent them, out of their own strong wills? (That would explain why Imanity doesn't have one, since they possess no magic whatsoever)
