The Selection Trial (選定審判 Sentei Shinpan?), also known as the Judgement Selection, is an event that is held to determine which mortal would become a proxy of the gods.
Overview[]
According to Ahid, it is possible for the world to lose order that keeps it balanced if the gods that maintain order are truly destroyed. In order to prevent the loss of order, one mortal is chosen by the "Almighty Brilliance" Eques, to act as Gods' Chosen and becomes an divine proxy, to maintain order. To select a mortal to act as the divine proxy, a Selection Trial is held and 8 mortals are chosen by a respective god, which then becomes a God of Selection, and bestowing their Selected with a Selection Pledge Jewel, which allows the Selected to summon their God of Selection. Despite the fact that it is possible for a Selection God to be destroyed in battle between another Selected and their selection God, their orders are preserved in the Selection Pledge Jewel of their respective Selected, thus preventing any fallout and damage to the world's order, as the order isn't truly lost.[1]
According to Viaflare, the current Selection Trial that involves the Selected and their Selection Gods fighting each other was created as a consequence of the fact that the Goddess of Destruction Abernyu and the Sun of Destruction, which represents her order were sealed away by Anos into Delsgade, thus affecting many orders of the gods. As a result of the fact that the order of destruction was distorted, the Selection Trial is going to be repeated numerous times to replenish the order of destruction and bring about "Doomsday", in which the Underground World is fated to be destroyed, thus ending the Selection Trial.[2][3]
After the winner of the current Selection Trial is decided, the God of Balance Elrolarielm appears before the winner, and bestows the title of divine proxy upon the victorious Selected. The Selected is granted all of the orders that their Selection God managed to accumulate throughout the Selection Trial, as well as any orders that happen to be lost in the world due to the destruction of other gods.[4]
Participants[]
While there were initially eight people selected for the Selection Trial, the number of them increased to eleven after Graham used the power of his Selection God, the God of Frenzy Aganzon, to distort the order of the God of Balance Elrolarielm.

Trivia[]
- Divine proxies are different from standard gods, as their names do not represent order.[3]
Notes[]
- ↑ While Militia was the one who nominated Anos for the Selection Trial, it was actually Arcana who formed a pact with him and fought alongside him.
- ↑ After being deemed unworthy of becoming a proxy of the gods, their pact becomes annulled.
- ↑ Halejiend annulled its pact with Grysilis, and became Shin's pact god, after the latter manage to subjugate its sword form.
