Bishamonten

**Bishamonten** (毘沙門天) or **Vaisravana** is the Shura (deliberate from **Asura**) Incarnation of the Buddha-Kami, Benzaiten. She is essentially her darker alter ego which she developed after asking Asherah to make changes to her mind and personality, creating an entirely seperate entity that shares the same body as Benzaiten. She only appears as a final trigger in case Benzaiten is put into a corner.

Bishamonten is an armor-clad goddess of war and punisher of evil-doers. Bishamon is portrayed holding a spear in one hand and a small pagoda in the other hand, the latter symbolizing the divine treasure house, whose contents she both guards and gives away. She is also the actual leader of the Seven Lucky Gods and the strongest amongst them.

She is the 'Father' of the Kamiyonanayo: Kuninotokotachi, Toyokumono, Suhijini, Uhijini, Tsunugui, Ikugui, Otonoji, Otonobe, Omodaru and Ayaka Shikone, as well as the 'grandfather' of Izanagi and Izanami. As she is Benzaiten and Bishamonten is her, the share the same roles in all stories.

## Appearance

Bishamonten has purple eyes and her hair remains long and is of different shades of green. It is kept in a ponytail, her fringe is normally seen above her eyes and her bangs are thick and caress her face. Her attire is a white bodysuit that is open in the middle, exposing her stomach and underside of her breasts. Her sleeves are detached and are white and black in the entirety. Her gauntlets are longer than the other CPUs with it covering the majority of her forearms with ease.

Bishomanten's attire in her Vaisravana Form differs from her normal form as she wears a black one-piece bodysuit. It still reveals a lot of her breast and stomach.

Bishamonten is noticably taller than her Buddha Incarnation, her breasts significantly large and her proportions being perfect amazonian that can make any man swoon once they see her in action. She is the most beautiful warrior goddess in all of Japan.

## Personality

Asherah had constructed Bishamonten to be a complete war machine, with no attachments to trivial things such as art, music, nature, other people, etc. Even the most basic traits of Benzaiten are removed once Bishamonten awakens.

Bishamonten is said to be the complete inverse of Benzaiten as a character. As a Goddess of Asuras, she is prone to violence and does not hesitate to attack those in front of her. She is cold and crude and is almost emotionless in nature, similar to Ophis. Her one drive is exterminating all threats in front of her with brutal precision.

Bishamonten has no bonds with anyone and feels detached from everyone, except Amenominakanushi, whom she loves as much as her Buddha Incarnation. She also has a habit of calling everyone around her 'vermin' or 'trash', expressing universal detestion at the whole world, except her beloved of course.

Bishamonten can also act independantly and could choose to not give control back to Benzaiten. There is also a high probability rate for her to go on a rampage. The only sure way to reverse the Benzaiten-Bishamonten transformation is if she had sex with the one she loves.

She is a great contrast to Benzaiten, providing an interesting depth to her character.

## History

Benzaiten saw that Amenominakanushi has been overexerting himself lately. She was worried for his health and she felt really guilty, as she believed that she was part of the problem, since Amenominakanushi always came to her rescue whenever she was in deep trouble. Not wanting to burden her husband, Benzaiten asked her mentor and mother-figure Asherah to help her create an alternative personality that Benzaiten could use as her self-defense mechanism. Their experiment worked, though Bishamonten was unstable and immediately attacked Asherah and the heavenly court of ladies.

After that incident Asherah had Bishamonten train with Trihexa to improve her combat ability. When she had enough self-control, Bishamonten went to Umashiashikabihikoji to train with him. After defeating him on the seventh day of their sparring, she went to Takami-Musubi. After defeating her too she finally approached her husband and though she lost, she put up a great fight. The two mated passionately during the night after their fight, accidentally creating a thousand forest wisps in the process.

When the legendary beast **Atama Go Mizuchi** was released from his restraints by the Yamikami they used it to attack the underwater palace of Munetsuchi at the time of Benzaiten's meeting with her retired guardian, the Drakong King of Munetsuchi. Seizing the opportunity that the Atama Go had created amidst its chaotic assault, Emperor Suteko assasinated the Dragon King and consumed his powerful dragon soul. While Benzaiten was frozen in shock, Raijin and Fujin attacked her in a cowardly manner, nearly killing her. Benzaiten survived thanks to Bishamonten, who was so enraged that she destroyed Raijin, Fujin, Suteko and the sea beast. Because Amata Go didn't have Ayin's curse mark, its death was permanent.

## Powers and Abilities

**Immense Strength**: Bishamonten's strength is far greater than most other gods and even in the Shinto Pantheon she's said to be near-unmatched. Her raw strength is even greater than that of the likes of Amenominakanushi and Shishioka Yukine and she is capable of splitting islands by slicing the air with her hand. When Sutoku forced Amatsu-Mikaboshi to transform into her true form, Bishamonten was able to grab it and throw her far away from the Central Palace where Amenominakanushi was holding Shishioka Yukine and her goons off. She was able to oblitirate Raijin's head with one kick and later on she could pin Shishioka Yukine down with ease. Even Hachiman the so-called 'Strongest War God' broke sweat beads when she saw the pain Bishamonten caused on Yukine's body.

* **Determined Strength**: She can fight and defend oneself at full strength even after being nearly killed or near death, allowing her to fight even when she shouldn't be able to (such as crippling/massive or mortal injuries, missing limbs, missing/removed organs, major blood loss, etc.).

**Immense Divine Power**: As the true leader of the Seven Lucky Gods and Goddess of War, Bishamonten has a grand amount of divine energy, powerful enough for her Goddess Form to sense it from a large distance. Kami-Musubi even stated that her spiritual power was close to Amenominakanushi's, confusing the two for a moment. Her radiates a blood-pink-colored aura that she could infuse with her weapons and attacks to raise their overall damage.

* **Deus-Ergokinesis**: Bishamonten is shown to be very skilled at manipulating her divine energy.

* + **Divine Constructs**: She could create various forms of weaponry from her divine energy, ranging from close-ranged such as daggers and swords to long-ranged such as bows and arrows.

* **Telekinesis**: Bishamonten possesses powerful telekinetic ability, which allows her to control objects with just the power of her mind. She could use her telekinesis to control the directions of her long-ranged attacks, as well as the trajectory of her ammunition, such as bullets, arrows, etc.

* **Deification**: Bishamonten could turn mortals into minor deities, with their domains being parts of those within her jurisdiction.

**War Manipulation**: As the Shinto Goddess of War, Bishamonten possesses divine authority and immense control over all forms of conflict, including both mental and physical, regardless of the area and numbers involved. She could also draw energy both from the conflict alone, as well as the dying. Amenominakanushi claimed that she is one of the greatest Gods of War, even more powerful than more younger Gods of War such as Horus, Ares, or Verethragna.

* **War Inducement**: Bishamonten could manipulate people and events to induce war and chaos within an enormously large radius, ranging from a city to an entire country.

* **Army Manipulation**: Bishamonten can control the collected minds of an army within the Shinto territory. She possesses amazing abilities fitting for training, controlling, and leading an army. She could also summon forth his personal army of over 500,000 warriors to her side.

* + **Morale Manipulation**: She could manipulate the morale of his troops, bolster their willpower, and inspire them to fight. Those with their morale boosted their morale have their strength, stamina, and battle prowess greatly increase. She could also lower the morale of the opponents to lose their will to fight, thus reducing their combat-effectiveness and making them doubt their chances of victory.

**Damage Resistance**: The intensity of Bishamonten's Divine Aura also acts as a sort of armor, making it impossible for her to be harmed by anyone not at least at her level of power. This is first demonstrated when she faced Hyoudou Issei. At the start of the fight, Bishamonten allows Issei to strike her, yet despite leaving himself completely unguarded and not resisting, not only did Issei fail to cut her, but Issei Hyoudou's hands started to bleed because of the recoil.

**Great Asura Physiology**: Usually, users who have this ability are or can transform into an Asura, an antipod to the Buddha/Bodhisattva. They are power-seeking barbaric creatures often associated with addictive passion, bloodlust, wrath, pride and boasting. However, Bishamonten is what's known as a **Great Asura** - a being superior to all other Asuron in existence in intellect and power. Bishamonten is astronamically more powerful than any regular Asura to the point where the factions of the world are unsure if she should even be associated with the Asuron, due to the tremendous difference. According to Kami-Musubi, the reason for Bishamonten's unnatural strength growth is the fact that she isn't a natural born Asura and thus does not possess the 'Curse of Buddha', which restricts all Asuron from achieving power higher than that of any faction's chief deity.

* **Animal Imitation**: Bishamonten can use/imitate animal powers, she can run like an ostrich, swing like a monkey, sprint like a cheetah, move like a cat, take the strength of an ant, track like a dog, hide like a turtle, constrict like a snake, etc. She cannot transform into animals, as this power only enables the user to mimic animalistic traits while still in their original form. Some users can mimic multiple animals at once.

* **Anger Empowerment**: Bishamonten becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. through anger/rage whether her own or others, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing her existing powers and as a bonus she can suppress pain to great lengths. She is able to draw sustenance from the anger or even slow or stop aging. If angry enough she can also negate another's abilities/powers as seen when she effortlessly took on Fujin's wind attacks and punched through her defense, knocking her unconscious for a while.

* **Ultimate Invincibility**: Bishamonten is completely invincible in many different ways and activities physically, mentally, spiritually etc. making her supreme in one or several ways. She cannot be defeated by conventional means and have no weakness.

* **Raw Power**: Bishamonten can resist, breakthrough, and may become immune to powers/abilities, laws, natures, illness, etc, through sheer force and strength alone. Bishamonten may even become completely immune to weaker opponents. Strong enough users may be able to negate durability and possibly defy logic itself.

* **Mantra Manipulation**: Bishamonten can manipulate the flow of mantra, a sacred psychological and spiritual power based on a sacred utterance or numinous sound, words, phrases phonemes or group of words. This power can be expressed through prayers, wishes or even sacred songs. Bishamonten can even influence the mantra as a type of life force. Bishamonten can even influence mantra as emotions as well.

**Angel Wings**: If she is in a more tranquil state of mind, Bishamonten is able to summon her angel wings. These wings bring forth the power that she obtained during her training with Asherah where she mastered Holy Light magic. She is able to create gigantic blades of light. She can cover her light weapons in a deadly glow that inflicted major burns on Star Mother's body.

**Master Combat Specialist**: As the Goddess of War, Bishamonten is, undoubtedly, one of the greatest combat specialists in the entire Shinto Pantheon. Azazel warned both Team Vali, Team Rias, and Team Issei about her, saying that she is one of the most dangerous opponents that they might have to face in the Azazel Cup. Despite her seeming disregard for any strategy and her self-admitted aversion to thinking, Bishamonten has regularly displayed more understanding than one would expect.

## Equipment

**Shichishito** (七支刀 "Seven-Branched Sword"): The Seven Branched Sword is an spectral green sword of pure divine energy, crafted by Tian's greatest blacksmiths, under Acting Jade Emperor Xinwang's orders. It was sent to Korean ports and then to Japan and Takamagahara as a sacred gift to his former teacher Amenominakanushi. The Seven Branched Sword was given to Kuraokami, the Dragon God of Rain who resided in the Divine Sakura Tree. After he was mortally wounded by Ayaka Shikone, Kuraokami sealed himself within the Shichishito. Nowadays, besides Amenominakanushi and Benzaiten, no one uses this special sword. It's abilities allow the user to create wind knives that can cut apart the country of Japan ten times over even if the user is using a fraction of the sword's true power. One powerful slash creates an entire rainy storm and every rain drops tries to destroy the enemies within that storm's reach.

**Seven Jeweled Spear**: The Seven Jeweled Spear is a Regalia/Artificial Gear Hybrid construct built by Amenominakanushi and Satanael. It's a jade spear that has both technological and ancient features. The polearm's most interesting trait is its seven jewels, from the bottom of the handle to the blade. Each of the jewels represent the Seven Lucky Gods, but they also represent the seven universal directions - north, south, west, east, up, down and point zero.

* **Mahat Bivhuti** (Great Wealth and Prosperity): A passive ability of the spear that is active at all times. The probability of victory or success for Bishamonten is automatically increased by 25%. The % is reduced by 0.2% depending on the overall gap between Bishamonten and her opponent. Against someone like Chaos, the probability boost is decreased to 5%. Ther is also a 40% for the enemy to make an uncharacteristic mistake every one 15s.

* + **Wealthy Lady**: For every successful combo attack, Bishamonten gains a stock of abstract golden coins. Upon reaching a certain treshhold like 50 gold, 100 or even 1000, Bishamonten can use or empower greatly her other powers. The golden coins are stored in the pagoda that Bishamonten carries on her hip.

* **Seven Jade Beast Woman: Asura Mode**: After gaining 100 Gold, Bishamonten can unlock her 'Final Asura Mode'. Her attire changes to a black tight form-fitting bodysuit, where her arms and legs are completely covered with the exception of a small portion of the front and back of her upper thighs. Her front and backside are completely exposed, with the suit’s chest area protruding from the sides as opposed to from the top to cover the center of her breasts, baring their tops and bottoms. Around each wrist is a glowing green ring segment, while at her neck, hips, feet, and on top of the glove is a glowing green circle. The transformation gives Bishamonten +300% bonus for all of her stats and a 1000% increase in divinity, allowing her to bend reality to her will as if it was a child's play.

* + **Primordial Jade Wings** (50 Gold): Bishamonten gains a set of mechanical wings that increase her flight speed to unimaginable levels. She can also use them to transmit signals that break apart illusions and pocket realities.

* + **Six Arms of Asura** (30 Gold): Bishamonten gains four spirit arms that carry spirit swords and rods. The sword-carrying Asura hands provide additional reach while Bishamonten attacks, while the rod-carrying Asura hands will summon barriers whenever someone tries to exploit Bishamonten's openings.

* + **Blessing of the Above** (100 Gold): Bishamonten gains the ability to directly interact with and harm the true forms of Primordial Entities.

* + **Conquer** (25 Gold): Every 10s, the spear glows brightly, indicating that Bishamonten can preform a CRITIKAL STRIKE. One CRITIKAL STRIKE can deal immense damage even to opponents above her. She was able to nearly incapacitate Amatsu-Mikaboshi with several CRITIKAL STRIKES.

* + **Seven Jade Rings of the Universe** (300 Gold): Displaying her mastery over both divinity, cosmology and polearms, Bishamonten sends seven whirlwinds of destruction around her. The nados will her for so long as the ability persists, dealing immense damage to all enemies in its path. The seven Nados possess elements associated with the Seven Lucky Gods: Water, Fire, Light, Earth, Nature, Wind, Electricity.

* + **Vanati Upazamyati Sarve, Anuzaya Vevesti Sarve** (Love Heals All, Hate Consumes All) (1000 Gold): The ace-in-the hole move. Bishamonten flies high up in the stars, gathes the energy of the Universe in a similar manner to her husband and dives down like a world-ending comet. Upon impact with any solid surface, she creates an explosion of energy that can blow away nearby mountains. Her enemies receive massive amounts of damage, with half of that damage being used as a Heal for her allies. If all of her special abilities are active while she preforms the final move, the results would be ten times greater.
