**Deus** is one of the main antagonists of the Capcom beat 'em up, Asura's Wrath. He is the leader of the Seven Deities.

## Background

Deus was once the Commander of the Eight Guardian Generals and led the Shinkoku army in battles against the Gohma. He and the other Guardian Generals protected the Emperor of Shinkoku and Gaea from the Gohma threat for eons. At some point in the past he warned the Emperor of the power of the Gohma and their eventual return and that preemptive measures must be put in place, but the Emperor saw peace for his people the only option. After they once again defeated the Gohma, Deus murdered Emperor Strada and framed Asura for his murder.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Superhuman Strength:** As one of the most powerful beings in the universe and the strongest of the Seven Deities, Deus possesses incredible godly strength, as he was able to challenge and easily overpower Asura in both his base and **Six-Armed Vajra Asura** form and even effortlessly rip himself free from his chokehold, blow Asura through a wall with a simple kick and punch Yasha a great distance away. Deus was also able to fend off Asura's overwhelming levels of physical strength bare-handed.
* **Superhuman Speed, Agility & Reflexes:** Deus had immense speed, as shown when he evenly matched and even surpassed Yasha and Asura's speed in combat, being able to effortlessly react to and outmaneuver their attacks and subsequently strike them and was even able to block Yasha's kick while also simultaneously reacting to and blocking **Six-Armed Vajra As****ura'**s fist in a split second, fending off both demigods without being struck once.
* **Superhuman Durability & Endurance:** Deus possessed a vast amount of superhuman durability and physical resistance. He was able to take multiple blows from Yasha and Asura in his **Six-Armed Vajra** form without sustaining visible damage. In the lost Episode 15.5, he nonchalantly brushed off Yasha's attack after the latter had put his full power behind it, which ravaged the entire area around them, remaining completely unfazed and unharmed by the attack. Even after receiving a massive Mantra burst from Asura, which ultimately defeated him, Deus managed to remain alive for a significant amount of time, before finally dying. With his extreme level of durability and endurance, Deus was possibly the most physically resilient among all the demigods.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** As a demigod, Deus likely had near-limitless stamina, as he was able to fight both Asura and Yasha, the former in his **Six-Armed Vajra** form, for an extended period of time without ever showing to tire out.
* **Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant:** As the leader and strongest of the Seven Deities, Deus is an extremely adept combatant, having been the commander of the Eight Guardian Generals and therefore considered the most skilled and powerful Demigod of the time. He has proven to be amazingly skilled in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts, capable of easily matching and overpowering both Asura in his **Six-Armed Vajra** form and Yasha bare-handed. In addition, Deus was Yasha's mentor, which further emphasizes his exceptional combat prowess.
* **Master Nunchakuman:** Deus has shown extreme skill in using his nunchaku, known as "**Sak****ra**", as he was able to use it to fight Augus wielding his own sword, **Wailing Dark**, to a draw and gain the upper hand on both **Six-Armed Vajra Asura** and Yasha during their fights. He is also capable of using it in conjunction with his lightning abilities.
* **Intellectual Genius:** In addition to his formidable fighting prowess and powers, Deus was also extremely intelligent. He was an exceptional leader and strategist, having been the leader of the entire Shinkoku Force as the Commander of the Eight Guardian Generals with notable successes in leading the armies into battle against the Gohma. Over the centuries, he was able to defend Gaea from the Gohma, leading the Seven Deities and the army as a whole and inspiring complete loyalty in them.
* **Immortality****:** As a demigod and like all other demigods, Deus possessed immortality and was unable to age. He is 36 in body and mind, but would not age and his lifespan was eternal thanks to Mantra and his demigod physiology. He also could not be killed by conventional methods and could only be destroyed by other deities and the Gohma.
* **Vacuum Adaptat****ion:** As a demigod, Deus is able to survive in outer space unaided and without any form of discomfort. He is not affected by the lack of atmosphere and increased level of cosmic radiation.
* **Mantra of Pride:** Deus' Mantra Affinity is **Pride**. Like the other deities, Deus could harness the power of the Mantra to increase his physical attributes and destructive power. Like the other demigods, Deus could also manifest his halo to acquire greater power.
	+ **Lightning Manipulation:** Deus possesses unrivaled mastery over lightning and electricity of white color, which he is capable of manipulating as he pleases and use to command tremendous lightning strikes of diversified manner, intensity and shape through sheer will alone. Deus was powerful enough to incapacitate enemies using electricity and bring forth multiple powerful torrents of lightning to attack on multiple sides. His thunderous attacks were powerful enough to critically wound and knockout Asura during the betrayal of the Seven Deities, and later on incapacitate both him and Yasha during their decisive battle. Deus could also form a massive barrier of lightning around him to protect him from outside attacks, which was powerful enough to repel both Asura in his **Six-Armed Vajra** form and Yasha. While wielding his nunchaku, **Sakra**, Deus was able to channel lightning through it for greatly increased striking power and range, as well as to shoot electric projectiles from its tip.
		- **Teleportation:** Deus could also use his skill over lightning to teleport from one place to another instantaneously.
	+ **Telekinesis:** Deus also possesses telekinesis, and could telekinetically repel, lift and bind individuals while electrocuting them simultaneously.
	+ **Mind Incursion:** It is implied that Deus also had the ability to induce illusions in his opponent's mind, as seen when he used it against Asura to prevent him from attacking him by creating an illusion of Mithra in his mind.
	+ **Flight:** Deus possesses the ability to levitate and fly at incredibly high speeds by releasing Mantra from his body.
	+ **Soul Extraction:** Like the other deities, it is presumed that Deus had the ability to extract the souls of mortals.
	+ **Halo:** As all demigods who possess one of the eight Mantra affinities, Deus is able to activate his halo to unleash his full power. This was shown in the last battle between Deus and Asura.

## Equipment
