Nosgalia, the Heavenly Father
Gods (神々 Kamigami?) are one of the four main races, alongside Demons, Humans, and Spirits.
Overview[]
The race that controls the world. Each god maintains and embodies a given Order[1] — the various laws that make up the world and the power of the gods that keep these laws normal. There are many orders, such as time, creation, and destruction, and the same number of gods control them. For instance, the Goddess of Creation controls the order of creation and has the role of creating the world and new life, while the Goddess of Destruction controls the order of destruction and has the role of destroying what has been created.
The orders of the gods are naturally interwoven with each other, as each fulfills an integral part in maintaining the world. If a god were truly destroyed, the integrity of the world would be put in danger, thus making gods necessary existences to ensure the stability of the world.[1]
If a god abuses their power, it will distort the natural order and bring tragedy to the people of the world. Despite this, many gods continued using their power without a care. Though not all of them did, such as the Goddess of Creation Militia. If she were to go out of her way to create miracles, it would bring astronomical consequences to the world.[2]
Powers and Abilities[]
The gods possess a vast amount of magic power that is incomparable to any other race, making them extremely powerful. Each of them has control over their designated order, allowing them to govern a fundamental aspect of the world and use it to protect themselves. But at the same time, a god cannot deviate from their own order because they are bound to it and are compelled to fulfill their role regardless of their own wishes.[1]
Weaknesses[]
Gods are merely order, so they have no emotions, and thus they are not living. This makes them especially weak towards love and kindness, which disturbs their order.[3] Even the Keeper of Emotions, Enes Ne Mes, is susceptible to both of them.[4] Using love magic, Anos was able to overcome the God of Gospel's immunity to attacks.[5]
Types[]
Keeper[]
While regular gods are unique and have power over their own order, which makes replacing them difficult, Keepers (番神 Banjin?) are the opposite. Rather than being one singular entity, there are multiple instances of the same individual, such as Eugo La Raviaz. They don't control their order but rather protect it and the god in charge from being disturbed.
