Militia (ミリティア Miritia?) was the Goddess of Creation (創造神 Sōzō-Shin?), and the one responsible for the creation of the world.
Appearance[]
In the anime and manga, Militia has the appearance of a young lady with a slim body, long hair that reaches her waist, and purple eyes.
Militia is described in the novels as a beautiful, voluptuous woman with long hair reaching the ankles of her feet and blue eyes holding a silver sparkle. She wears a pure white ceremonial outfit.
Personality[]
Militia is described as a kind, compassionate goddess who created a world of love and hope. Unlike most other gods that only obeyed their own order and did not care about the human species and how the gods' actions affected them. Despite doing her best to create a world filled with kindness, she lamented that the world was filled with conflict and strife, as she hoped there would be a way to change it and bring peace and hope to the people living in it.
History[]
Approximately 700 million years ago, Militia was born to the previous Goddess of Creation, Elenesia, who explained the duty and history of the Gods of Creation. As the two finished their conversation, Milita asked Elenesia to give her a name, which she did, and wished for Militia's happiness. Militia then used her powers to create the new world.
As she observed the new world, consumed in chaos and war, Militia lamented that she had created a sad world and wished to change it into a kinder one. However, because her order could be distorted if she overused her power, thereby affecting the people living in the world, she could only continue to watch and chose not to look away as her punishment for creating an unkind world.
While performing her duties as the Goddess of Creation, she met the Demon King Anos. At first, Militia didn't want to talk to him, but he followed her for several days. Eventually, the two started to talk about the world and if it was a kind one, with Milita responding that it wasn't. After following her again, Anos asked her about the gods, as he didn't really understand them, so he wanted to hear her thoughts. She explained that they were the embodiments of order and that they didn't feel emotions. Anos then asked her about herself personally, and she told him she had a sister she had never met. As Anos asked about her sister's name, Militia left him her sister's name in a snow moonflower before disappearing as the Month of Creation was over.
Seven years later, Anos revisited Militia, bringing a letter from Militia's sister Abernyu, as the Anos asked her what she wanted. Militia responded that she wanted the world to be at peace, which Anos found funny. The two continued their conversation for a time before parting again.
After Anos had transformed Abernyu into the Demon Castle Delsgade, Militia appeared before Anos as the two discussed Abernyu's sorrow at her role as a God of Destruction. Militia beckoned Anos to help Abernyu to be free from her order as Anos stabbed Militia with Venuzdonoa, the Abolisher of Reason and cast Syrica on the separated consciousness of Abernyu to reincarnate her as a demon. Militia told Anos to be kind to Abernyu after she reincarnated as she had fallen in love with him, as Anos told her it was an honor to be loved by her. Still, it was only because it was her first emotional imprint that she could choose who to love after she was reincarnated. Militia asked Anos to make a deal and told him to visit Abernyu after she reincarnates, and if she fell in love with him again, he should accept her feelings.
2,000 years ago, Militia, along with the Great Spirit Reno, and the Hero Kanon, met with Demon King Anos at the Demon Castle Delsgade to end the Great War. The four worked together to cast Beno Ievun, by combining their powers and using Anos' life force as the magic power source to activate the great spell. The walls would divide the world and isolate the four races until their hatred for each other faded.
However, during the ritual to separate the world, Militia used her ability to erase the existence of Ceris Voldigoad and Abernyu from Anos' memories, as Celis asked Militia to make Anos forget about him or else he would stray from the path of peace if he had realized that his father was killed.
However, Militia soon realized their current peace was fragile and could collapse at any moment, so she set about to ensure the world would remain peaceful. Learning that Nosgalia was creating new magic to destroy Anos, Militia confronted him before he attacked her to revert her to an emotionless state. Militia overwhelmed him, but during the struggle, Nosgalia was able to seize the magic of Jerga and taunt her since she couldn't create the magic of Eleonore by herself or keep him confined forever as he was necessary for the world to continue to function normally. Militia agreed with him, but she would use her powers to ensure that Eleonore would be born as gently as possible and told Eleonore that someone in the future would set her free from her fate.
Afterward, she teleported to Delsgade and stored a Creation Star Erial in her sealed sister's body, telling her to remember that she was fighting to change the world. She then created Ennesuone to make sure that the new world she was planning on creating had a gentle order to it, and sent her to the Azure Sky of the Gods to her friend, the Goddess of Birth Wenzel, so that Ennesuone would be fully born.
After that, she used her powers to create the Underground World and the Heaven Pillars Support Swords so that the heavenly canopy wouldn't collapse. Eventually, Militia would partake in the Selection Trial as Arcana's God of Selection and help her win. Though secretly, her true goal was to destroy the Selection Trial, which had caused countless tragedies to mortals. However, she was fatally injured by Arcana, who was enraged at Militia for attempting to destroy the Selection Trial, which she interpreted as a betrayal.
Before dying, she turned her divine body into the Gods' Age Science Temple Everastoanzetta and used the magic of Syrica on herself. She would eventually be reincarnated as Misha Necron, who retains her affinity with Creation Magic.Abilities[]
