God and Buddha

## Origin

### Origin

Gods are principal object of faith and worship in religions, as well as one of the most powerful species of beings.

**Gods** (神, *Kami*) and **Buddhas** (仏, *Butsu*) are one of the various races in *The Gifted Half-Blooded Devil Uchiha**.*** and are a principal object of faith and worship in religions.

## Summary

Gods are major figures among the many mythologies. Some, most notably Christianity, are monotheistic, revolving around a single god. Other pantheistic mythologies can have several. Within these mythologies, Gods can rule over various phenomena. The head God of a mythology is known as a **Chief-God** (主神, *Shushin*).

There are also **Evil Gods** (悪神, *Akushin*) who serve as antagonistic forces among their mythologies. However, Gods are considered more honest with their feelings than humans, and even Gods who are not considered "evil" can be prone to easily getting jealous and tend to harbor grudges for eternity. The Olympian Gods are said to be notably fickle, lively, and irrational among Gods.

There are beings such as humans and youkai who were not born as Gods or Buddhas, but are able to ascend into that status through completing various tasks for Gods. Examples of this being Sun Wukong, the First Generation's Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie, and Nezha, the first three being youkai and the latter being a human. There also exist **Half-Gods** (半神, *Hanshin*) such as Valkyries, and Grim Reapers are a sub-species of Gods serving under Hades.

## **Appearance**

Similar to other supernatural beings such as Devils and Angels, most Gods and Buddhas appears a lot like normal humans to where they cannot be distinguished from them aside from giving off an almost divine presence. Some gods appears much younger than they actually are such as Shiva who looks between fourteen to fifteen.

Although, there are other gods who has either more animalistic or inhuman appearances, such as Sun Wukong who looks like a monkey being a former monkey youkai who was turned into a Buddha. Hades, one of the Greek Gods who appears more like an actual walking skeleton nearly impossible to be alive. Angra Mainyu appears more like a human phantom that emits a far more chaotic aura. And Tartarus who appears to be the most inhuman among the other Gods thus far being a black sphere with multiple eyes and tentacles.

## **Powers and Abilities**

All Gods have powers surpassing those of even Satan-Class Devils, while the most powerful like Indra has been said to have power exceeding the combined powers of the current Three Faction Leaders, rivaled only by the Heavenly Dragons; possibly Super Devils; and exceeded by the Dragon God and True Dragon. All the Gods, so far, have displayed expertise in their particular faction's magic system.

Due to their immense powers, strong weapons such as the Mjolnir Replica, Gungnir or the top-tier Sacred Gears, such as the Longinus are able to significantly injure or kill them. However, while they are long-lived, with lifespans seemingly measured in millennia, Gods are not immortal, growing old and weakening in their later years. In a case where they are defeated, Gods can be revived so long as there is a sufficient amount of human faith.

Gods are immune to the power of the Evil Pieces and those of the Brave Saints as well, so they cannot be transformed into either Angels or Devils. Though half-gods such as the Valkyrie like Rossweisse and/or a half-grim reaper like Bennia are able to be reincarnated.

In Volume 9, Sun Wukong states that some Heroes have become gods hinting that humans can become Gods, and according to him and Indra one must have a pure soul, benevolence, and righteousness to become a god. As stated by Indra that gods are honest when it comes to their personalities whether they were good/benevolent gods or an evil god.

In Volume 10, Indra makes a comment stating that the Gods gather the thoughts and beliefs of humans. The purpose of this gathering is not stated, but it is hinted to have something to do with the strength and influence of their religion.

Sora states that the Gods in his Universe are several times but the exact number is currently unknown
