==Summary==

|-|Before Deus=
Shinkoku Trastrium is the ruling civilization on planet Gaea. An advanced and united nation, Shinkoku evolved from a fusion of science and religion an extended its hegemony over the entire planet. The society is strictly hierarchical and divided into classes, the lower being the humans, who are governed by the demigods of the upper class, who are in turn furtherly divided into civilians and nobles.
The demigods are a superior race descending from the genetically altered humans upon whom the god Chakravartin bestowed the power of Mantra in order to enable their development. They possess a lifespan in the order of at least hundreds of thousands of years, if not much more, and they are the only ones capable of manipulating Mantra. The demigods specialized in the art of war possess other physical enhancements in the form of cybernetic implants, with some individuals being more machine than flesh.
The demigods live in vast and prosperous enclaves, featuring a grandiose architecture and a highly futuristic level of technology. The capital city is Shinto, which also serves as the headquarter and residence of the Eight Guardian Generals, the warrior veteran elite of Shinkoku and the second in command after the Emperor.
Humans live scattered in various settlements all around the world. No civil war occurs between them and each possesses a different level of advancement depending on its location. They worship the demigods and willingly accept their rule, as they are in turn granted Mantra to use as a source of power for their technology and industry. By offering their prayers, they assure the demigods a constant influx of Mantra.
Shinkoku rapidly advanced to an exponential rate, leading to critic levels of overpopulation and pollution that began to harm the planet. The very will of Gaea, fomented by Chakravartin's influence, gave birth to the Gohma in retaliation. Shinkoku and the Gohma thus entered a thousands years-long conflict for the dominion of the world that became known as the "War of Creation".
|-|After Deus=
After the latest awakening of Gohma Vlitra, Emperor Strada and Deus found each other on diverging opinions regarding the future of Shinkoku, with the latter pushing for firm actions that the emperor is not willing to take. Deus draws all the Eight Generals but Asura to his side and orchestrates a coup d'etat. Strada is thus assassinated and Asura gets framed for the crime, allowing Deus to dispose of his only opposer and seize his daughter Mithra, whose power is fundamental to his plans.
Deus plans to harness enough Mantra to wipe out Gohma Vlitra once and for all as soon as possible. For the following 12.000 years, the politics of Shinkoku towards humans changes drastically. The amount of Mantra obtained from prayers is not enough anymore, as their very souls provide much more. Mortals are then turned into disposable livestock, whose blind belief in the demigods and fear of the Gohma keeps subservient and induce into willing sacrifice. Even their death by the hands of the Gohma is nothing but a way to have someone else do the dirty work.
With the protection of humans not being a priority anymore, the entire planet spirals into decay and ruin because of the uncontrolled collateral damage and tyrannical oppression. Things begin to change with the return of Asura from the realm of the dead. Faithful to the old morals and willing to do anything to rescue his daughter and claim revenge on those who betrayed him, Asura sides with the humans and begins his quest to take down the oppressors.

Technology/Abilities: 
*Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Cyborgization, Longevity and Self-Sustenance (Types 1 and possibly 2) (All demigods are naturally stronger than normal humans, possess an extremely longer lifespan and can survive in space without trouble. Many of them also possess mechanical augmentations, with several bordering full cyborgization)

*Weapon Mastery and Martial Arts (The troops are adept in hand-to-hand combat and in the use of several cold and ranged weapons)
*Explosion Manipulation (Via explosive weapons)
*Acrobatics (The Doji do somersaults to increase the momentum of their attacks.Asura's Wrath - Gameplay (vs. Doji) The Taison are known to jump high into the air and drop on their enemies) 
*Large Size (Type 0 to 5; The Taison are so tall they tower over the likes of Asura, and the Taison Nyudo are ever bigger. Shinkoku's battleships can reach immense sizes and the Karma Fortress is comparable to a planet) 
*Mantra Manipulation and Projection (The demigods' ability to manipulate Mantra is the very foundation of their society as a whole, the origin of their abilities and the power source of their technology and weapons. Mantra is an energy Asura's Wrath - Illustrations (Mantra) by the power of prayers and emotions, as well as existing in large quantities within the souls of every living being. Mantra exists in Asura's Wrath - Illustrations (The Eight Guardian Generals): Pride, Lust, Greed, Sloth, Vanity, Violence, Melancholy and Wrath. In its natural state, Mantra can be defined as Asura's Wrath - Illustrations (Mantra Reactor) similar to those emitted by sound waves and can be utilized in a manner akin to electricity.
*Transmutation (The Colossi are created by converting amplified Mantra intro physical matter. The Karma Fortress has most likely been created in the same way, as that is the way Deus completed its structure after merging with it) 
*Soul Absorption (Members of the Seven Deities such as Wyzen and Sergei possess the ability to collect the souls of mortals, which are then stored on the battleships and sent to the Karma Fortress, where Mantra is synthesized from them. Standard troops utilize specific devices which were once used to harness the power of prayers,Asura's Wrath - Episode 1: The Coming of a New Dawn but have later been repurposed to store soulsAsura's Wrath - Episode 8: Willing Sacrifices)
*Holographic Projections (Kalrow makes use of holographic technology to not expose himself to dangerous situations. Airships can transmit live projectionsAsura's Wrath - Episode 9: The Best Laid Plans in real time)
*Telekinesis and Elasticity (Via Kagebosh troops)
*Vibration Manipulation (Via Taison troops)
*All the technology of the Karma Fortress
Attack Potency: 
Unknown (The infantry is generally able to contend with the Gohma to various degrees of success, but even the strongest unit, the Taison, is powerlessAsura's Wrath - Episode 4: Old Friends, New Enemies against Gohma like the Crusher. These troops have been dispatched with ease by Asura and Yasha on various occasions)
at least Country level with various weaponry (The Colossi are described as "immensely powerful" and represent the true strength of the soldiers of Shinkoku. Even those wielded by units as weak as the Doji could pierceAsura's Wrath - Episode 2: Betrayal and Vengeance the body of an early game Asura.
Explosives, ships and related weaponry should possess similar, if not higher power than the Colossi, as they are used to annihilate weaker Gohma and fight off stronger ones, even though the Eight Guardian Generals are required to deal with large swarms and the most powerful of them. Entire fleets have repeteadly been deployed against Asura, but already by the time of "Episode 9", they were completely unable to deal any notable damage, even when using their strongest weapon, the "Absolution Cannon". A mass bombardmentAsura's Wrath - Episode 12: Gods of Death of Hamaya was also ineffective against an already weakened "Episode 12" Asura. Demigods such as Wyzen and an early Asura used to reach such levels.
