Gods

Gods (神) are very powerful beings that dwell on the surface world and surrounding realms among mortals and other beings, prominent players in the mythos of the Mahou Kaiju Series universe, at least on Earth and Underworld, and are a principal object of faith and worship in various religions and mythologies around the world.

Appearance
Gods, deities and Buddhas can either be similar in appearance to humans, such as Odin and Zeus, or radically different from mortals, such as the dragon god Ryuujin, Ra who, while he could take the appearance of regular human, was actually a centaur-dragon-like entity, or Hades who takes the form of a living skeleton.

Powers and Abilities
All Gods have powers surpassing those of very dangerous kaiju and even the Forbidden Ones, while the most powerful have been said to exceed the combined power of the present leaders of all the Three Factions of the Bible, power only rivaled and exceeded by the Forbidden Gods, Ancient Gods and Final Gods, all of which. All the Gods, so far, have displayed expertise in their particular pantheon's magic system.

Because of their immense power, only the weapons and powers of fellow Gods, such as the replica Mjölnir, Odin's Gungnir, or the Holy Grail, can significantly injure or kill them. However, while they are long-lived, with lifespans seemingly measured in millennia, Gods are not completely immortal, growing old and weakening in their later years.

While they can assume humanoid forms to commune with humans, Gods of the Earth possess a special power that allow them to transform into their kaiju-like gigantic "true forms" called Avatars.

In an episode of Young Braves Brigade, Sun Wukong states that some heroes like Hercules have become gods across history, 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 god or an evil god. Indra also reveals that the Gods gather the thoughts and belief 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.
