Main Characters
In General
- Amnesiac Lover: Near the end of the Gaeabrande arc, it's revealed that Seiya and Ristarte were married and expecting a child in their previous lives at Ixphoria. Neither of them has memories of their former relationship.
- Divine Date: Rista is a goddess who has the major hots for Seiya, the human she summoned as a hero.
- Opposites Attract: Rista, who is overly emotional, expressive and excitable, is completely in love with Seiya, who is The Stoic and no-nonsense to a fault. While Seiya initially dismisses Rista's advances, realizing that she's the reincarnation of his wife makes him quite fond of her.
- Reincarnation Romance: Rista is actually the reincarnation of Princess Tiana, Seiya's wife from Ixphoria who he failed to save from the Demon Lord. In their current lives, fate allowed to meet again by Rista summoning Seiya to save Gaeabrande. Despite neither of them remembering their past lives, Rista is completely in love with Seiya even though she isn't supposed to because she's a goddess now and he rebuffs her advances.
- Rude Hero, Nice Sidekick: Rista is a kindhearted and compassionate goddess. Seiya, the hero Rista summoned to defeat the Demon Lord, rarely can talk to people without insulting them. So she has to apologize for him and make nice with whomever they're talking to.
- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: Rista is enthusiastic, loud, and impatient. Seiya is stoic, cool-headed, and wary.
- Star-Crossed Lovers: Seiya and Rista/Tiana were a married couple before they were brutally killed by Ixphoria's Demon Lord. They have met again now that Rista was reincarnated as a goddess and Seiya was resummoned by her, but romantic and sexual relationships between humans and gods are strictly forbidden.
Ristarte
Ristarte
Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki (Japanese), Jamie Marchi (English), Tia Ballard (as Tiana, English)
A rookie goddess of healing, who is tasked with saving Gaeabrande.
- A-Cup Angst: A minor case. She knows she's hardly flat, but she feels that way compared to Ariadoa.
- Affectionate Nickname: Everyone just calls her "Rista", for short.
- Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?:
- When Seiya states that he has one condition before helping Rista, he takes his off his shirt. Rista imagines herself in bed and having a romantic encounter with Seiya while very quietly stating how a god and a human can't have a relationship. She then gets annoyed when it turns out the request is for him to work out until he's ready.
- When she finds out that Seiya snuck into her room to take 100 of her hairs to craft another powerful sword, she demands to know if he did "this and that" to her while she was asleep. When he makes it clear that he didn't, she becomes upset.
- Biting the Handkerchief: Rista does this after Seiya leaves her in the Roseguard castle to rest, thinking that she's inferior to medicinal herbs.
- Blatant Lies: Annoyed at a tailor's sarcastic tone and ridiculous swimsuit offers, Rista, without hesitation, tells her that Seiya is her boyfriend. That's not currently correct though, as romantic relationships are a taboo in the Divine Realm. This is subverted once you realize that Rista is the reincarnation of Seiya's lover.
- Boring, but Practical: Her healing magic is slower than high-tier medicinal herbs, but herbs can't re-attach lost limbs while she can do so, even with her powers weakened.
- Butt-Monkey: Seiya compares her to a medicinal herb and due to her power being nerfed in the mortal realms, she actually does end up less powerful than the strongest healing items. Seiya also tends to remove her hair without permission in order to use it as a crafting ingredient, push her around, mouth off to her, and so on, although he genuinely cares about her survival.
- Cassandra Truth: In the Warped Gaeabrande arc, Rista is the only one who can see an evil version of Elulu influencing Mash. She also has a dream where Elulu warns her that Seiya's current method of simply killing Mash isn't going to save the world. Unfortunately, due to Rista being wrong many times in the past, Seiya doesn't believe her until she manages to take him into Mash's mind, where the original Mash and Elulu confirm Rista's account.
- Chekhov's Gunman: It's revealed that if a hero dies while trying to save a world, they'll simply return where they came from without any memories of their time in that world. This sets up a major reveal later.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: She gets jealous when she catches Seiya in bed with Valkyrie, not realizing that this is a way for the Valkyrie to teach Seiya how to use Valhalla's Gate.
- Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Almost everything that Seiya does weird will be rejected or rebutted by her:
- Seiya has a weird habit or Running Gag of wanting spares for his weapons and equipment. She's there to make sure that they don't spend too much money.
- Due to being overly cautious, Seiya is mostly stoic and doesn't easily trust strangers. This makes him forget how to converse politely. Rista is there to scold him for his rudeness or to ask their inquiries in a more polite manner in his behalf.
- When Seiya repeatedly slaps Rosalie (in self-defense), Rista decries his lack of "feminism". Once they return to the Divine Realm, she tells him to stop doing that.
- Covert Pervert: She may try to keep up the appearance of a respectable goddess, but it's blatantly clear she wants to jump Seiya despite the rules.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Despite going through a number of frustrating and humiliating situations, her healing is actually very powerful when she's not limited by the gods' rules. After Seiya's first use of Valhalla's Gate, Rista manages to heal him so he can survive the backlash. Keep in mind that Valkyrie had to buff herself to max stats in order to survive the recoil of that technique. In the Ixphoria arc, she turns out to be an Instant Expert at anti-curse techniques and kills one of the enemy generals with a light spell. Even when weakened due to the gods' rules, she can heal severed limbs.
- Deity of Human Origin: Like Cerceus, Rista was originally a human who was reborn as a goddess after her death because of her good deeds.
- Distracted by the Sexy: Seiya drives her mad with his personality, but she can't help but get hot and bothered when he is shirtless or when she's close to him.
- Double Entendre: Says this innuendo after a tailor offered her to buy underwear that would expose the crotch of her "boyfriend" Seiya:If Seiya wears this, his elephant will be fully visible.
- Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: After she sees Seiya and Valkyrie naked in bed, which makes him learn a Destruction Art skill, she becomes overly jealous, desperate and shocked, to the point that her eyes are drawn in this way.
- Eaten Alive: Her fate at the end of her failed quest to save Ixphoria, courtesy of Ultimaeus, the Demon Lord. She also endured the horror of having Kiriko ripped out of her before being eaten.
- Eating the Eye Candy: Most of her first impressions with Seiya are about being stunned with his appearance or muscular build. In particular, Rista barged in the room without knocking, only to catch sight of his six-pack abs.
- Establishing Character Moment: The very first scene of the anime see her assigned to save the S-rank world Gaeabrande, and she accepts the task with humility and grace worthy of a goddess in front of the assembled deities. This is immediately followed by her running into her room to vent in a much more human fashion. We will see this duality very often throughout the series, with Rista trying to put on the airs of a proper goddess, while Seiya keeps bringing out her more human side.
- Experienced Protagonist: She managed to save a few worlds before receiving the mission to save Gaeabrande. Some of her summoned heroes were unfamiliar with Isekai and JRPG mechanics, but she still managed to teach them enough to save those worlds. However, it's downplayed since Rista is still quite young for a goddess and has saved very few worlds of low difficulty, which is why she felt unprepared for taking on the huge task of saving a S-rank world which is difficult even for veteran gods.
- Freudian Slip:
- Rista just can't resist blurting out her perverted thoughts about Seiya even in a state of emergency, when Aria feared that Mitis might sexually harass him:I can't let this one-in-ten-billion-people level genius get kicked out because he got in bed with a goddess!! If it has to be a goddess, why not me... Wait, that's not what I wanted to say!
- Rista accidentally blurted out that the Divine Realm's shops are better than the clothing shop in Gaeabrande. This annoys the female shopkeeper to the point where she sarcastically mocks Rista by offering her ridiculous swimwear that are too risqué.
- Rista just can't resist blurting out her perverted thoughts about Seiya even in a state of emergency, when Aria feared that Mitis might sexually harass him:
- Gold and White Are Divine: Rista is a Healer God with long blonde hair and clad in a white dress with gold accessories.
- Good Wears White: She's a benevolent goddess and the main heroine, always dressed in a white dress.
- Gratuitous English: In the Japanese version, she says "Oh, six pack!" in a stunned state when she sees Seiya's abs and "Oh, sexy!" when Seiya comes out from the shower.
- Hair Intakes: Her hairstyle includes a pair of what look like cat ears.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: A very kind, good-natured and beautiful goddess with long blonde hair.
- Has a Type: She likes tall, muscle toned men with dark hair. Seiya fits this to a T. The reason why is because she subconsciously remembers that he was her lover in her previous life.
- Healer God: Rista is the Goddess of Healing and her main function in Seiya's party is using her Healing Hands whenever someone gets hurt. However, her divine power is highly restrained outside of the Divine Realm, so Seiya makes fun of her by saying she isn't any more useful than a medical herb.
- Hero-Worshipper:
- She describes Aria as the ideal goddess and regularly visits her for advice.
- To a lesser extent, she gains more faith in Seiya when his preparations allow him to defeat several impossibly difficult foes.
- Heroic BSoD: She becomes depressed after Seiya's supposed death from saving Gaeabrande, to the point where she lacks her usual cheerful personality once she returns to the Divine Realm, as she locks herself in her room for days, and leaves her hair in a messy state. Fortunately, all of the other deities try to raise her spirits once again. She finally breaks out of her depression once Ishtar reveals that Seiya is still alive, he's just sent back to Earth and can be summoned once again.
- Hot God: She's pretty cute and buxom, with her outfit leaving little to the imagination. When she first summons Seiya, she muses that he has never seen so perfect a woman among mortals.
- Imagine Spot: She easily fell for Seiya's looks, and also easily misinterprets his requests as romantic advances. Cue some of Rista's imaginations about having to kiss him... until she remembers that romance between gods and mortals are forbidden.
- Immortals Fear Death: Gods like Rista are immortal thanks to their soul being secured in a room at the Divine Realm. When Wohlks Roseguard is revealed to have a weapon from the Demon Lord that can kill a god's body and soul, she cries in terror of dying for real and calls for Seiya to save her.
- Innocently Insensitive:
- Rista points out that Aria only failed to save one world, but Aria reminds her that the world is all its residents have.
- When Rista tries to convince Seiya to recruit the dragonkin duo, he states they wouldn't be much help in combat. Rista then states that they can be used as key items to get past any obstacle that requires their lineage, but the duo are offended to be considered "items."
- Irony: Rista often complains about the way Seiya spends too much time training and tells him he could try leveling up by fighting strong monsters instead of avoiding danger. In her past life as Tiana, she instead wanted Seiya to train more because he always recklessly charged at dangerous monsters and got badly hurt, only surviving thanks to Tiana healing him.
- Jerkass Gods: Downplayed. While genuinely well-intentioned, she's fairly arrogant as she frequently gets irritated at Seiya for refusing to treat her as a goddess. She's also somewhat impulsive and overconfident, decrying Seiya's careful tactics, even after they prove themselves to be invaluable in the Death World that is Gaeabrande. Unfortunately for her, Seiya's having none of it, and Rista's the one who usually ends up humbled by him instead of the other way around.
- Lovable Sex Maniac: Her perverted thoughts about Seiya rise to its peak once she decides to buy a swimsuit for Seiya that will expose his crotch.
- Love at First Sight: She's instantly smitten with Seiya from the moment she first lays her eyes on him because of how handsome he is, but she has to remind herself that goddesses aren't allowed to have romantic relationships with humans. Her immediate strong attraction is also influenced by the fact that she was married to him in her previous life.
- Meaningful Name: Her name echoes Astarte, an ancient Semitic goddess of sexuality and war, which is fitting for a fantasy goddess who assists heroes and incidentally lusts for them. It also sounds an awful lot like "restart", which is equally fitting, since that's basically what happened to her when she lost her memories and became a goddess.
- Meta Girl: Most of her Inner Monologue comments on the absurd tactics or tropes that Seiya used recently.
- Ms. Fanservice: She's this thanks to her outfit showing her cleavage.
- Mundane Utility: She makes a doll out of her hair just so she can give it to Seiya as a synthesis material.
- New Meat: She's only saved a few low-difficulty worlds, and is considered inexperienced for a goddess.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
- When attempting to change the location of the portal in the Divine Realm, she accidentally allows a werewolf demon to go through the portal. The werewolf then inflicts an amnesia ailment on Seiya, causing the hero to regress back to his reckless ways. When Seiya regains his memories, he remains angry towards Rista for a while.
- While under her fish beastkin guise, Rista accidentally leads Grandleon to see Queen Carmilla's doll. This leads to Grandleon destroying the doll and making the queen cry, which satisfies his conditions for executing her. Seiya has to cancel the Hexagram Ritual of Divine Retribution and risk a straight fight with Grandleon in order to save the queen.
- Noodle Incident: She mentions that she once summoned a Martian as a hero for a low difficulty world and had to get them up to speed with the situation.
- Odd Job Gods: The Goddess of Healing, which doesn't sound too bad. Unfortunately, when repressed, her power is quite weak and she's still seen as a junior goddess.
- Pervert Revenge Mode: Every time Jonde tries to oogle Mega Rista, the real Rista reacts violently, to the point of trying to twist his neck.
- The Pig-Pen: Downplayed. Other characters often claim she has a sour body odor, and she's advised to bathe more often. This actually saves her in the Ixphoria arc, where a demon refuses to eat her because of her odor.
- Proper Lady: She tries really hard to behave like a goddess should, staying calm and dignified. Except, Seiya's overcautious nature frustrates her so much that she loses her temper and uses crass language unbefitting of a goddess.
- Psychometry: Normally, her Appraisal skill only allows her to see some minor information about objects and people. While in her Demon Goddess form, her Appraisal allows her to read the thoughts of the people associated with the target object.
- Punny Name: If it isn't obvious enough, "Ristarte" is just the Engrish pronunciation of the word "Restart", probably chosen by it sounding similar to real life Semitic goddess Astarte.
- Reincarnation: She's the reincarnation of Princess Tiana, Seiya's lover from Ixphoria.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: After learning of Seiya's and her past, she willingly disobeys the Divine Realm's rules to save Seiya.
- Self-Proclaimed Love Interest: She readily claims that Seiya is her boyfriend when asked, even though Seiya would definitely disagree. It's probably a reflex caused by her subconsciously remembering that Seiya was her husband in her previous life.
- Sexy Backless Outfit: Her dress leaves her back bare.
- Showgirl Skirt: She wears a crescent-shaped skirt that fully reveals the front of her legs.
- Signature Headgear: She always wears a blue hair bow. The fact that Tiana had a similar bow is a giveaway that Rista is her reincarnation.
- Slapstick: When some silly screwball moment happens, she's often on the receiving end of it.
- Straight Man: She's the one to react at and call out the absurdity of pretty much everything about Seiya.
- Stripperiffic: Her outfit is very revealing, which Seiya lampshades early on. Rista protests that her magic lets other people see her dressed more modestly.
- Supporting Protagonist: She's the main viewpoint character, but due to laws restricting the gods in mortal realms, her summoned hero, Seiya, drives more of the plot.
- Tears of Joy: This is her reaction when she finds out she's allowed to summon Seiya again after Zenos is slain, as she feared Seiya had ended up Deader than Dead due to it.
- Tempting Fate: In the first manga volume's short story, Rista is angered by an archangel who criticized her lack of progress. In response, she yells "I'll take any A- or S-ranked world you throw at me!" She soon gets assigned to the S-ranked world, Gaeabrande.
- Traumatic C-Section: In her previous life as Tiana, Ultimaeus ripped Kiriko from her womb and ate her right in front of Seiya.
- Tsundere: Sweet type; she's nice and kind to everyone except Seiya. She has a crush on Seiya, but at the same time, is exasperated by his cautious personality and rude behavior.
- Underestimating Badassery:
- Her first impression of Seiya was the result of this. Rista thought that he was a coward when he was just being cautious. When she thought that he is backing away from saving Edona, he just needed some time to level-grind. And when she thought that he couldn't take out Chaos Machina's bull form in his current state, it was when she realized that Seiya was just faking his real, higher stats.
- She initially believes the tactics she used in low difficulty worlds, such as level grinding in a weak area, will work against the demons of Gaeabrande and that Seiya's cautiousness is overkill. She's proven wrong when the demons of Gaeabrande turn out to be wise to the tactics that defeated their brethren in other worlds.
- Unishment: For the "crime" of using her goddess abilities to directly interfere with the final battle between Seiya and Gaeabrande's Demon Lord, Rista is sentenced to save the SS-ranked world Ixphoria, her original homeworld as a mortal. In addition, she is told that since Zenos' Chain Destruction was destroyed in the final battle, she is free to summon Seiya once again to aid her.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Seiya wonders how the people of Gaeabrande don't react to Rista's "exhibitionist's clothing". Rista explains that she uses her powers to make it look like she's wearing normal clothes to regular people.
- Vapor Wear: It's quite obvious from a glance that her outfit doesn't have any form of breast support beyond her top. This becomes a detriment when she ends up getting dragged along by Seiya at high speeds in order to quickly get somewhere, resulting in her breasts popping out.
- Victoria's Secret Compartment: She places a piece of chalk for summoning circles there in the anime.
- What the Hell, Hero?: She regularly criticizes Seiya for his actions because they are not becoming of a proper hero. These include, but are not limited to: Telling people they're useless, burning down/exploding buildings to make absolutely sure a given enemy is dead, barging into bedrooms without as much as a knock and taking things without asking.
- White Magician Girl: Downplayed. She specializes in healing and usually means well, but she can also be petty when arguing with Seiya. There's a justification for this as well. Before she became the Goddess of Healing, she was the healer in Seiya's party back in Ixphoria.
- Wild Take: Rista's exaggerated facial expressions qualify.
- Winged Humanoid: Being a goddess, Rista can sprout angel wings from her back by asking Ishtar's authorization.
- You Don't Look Like You: Her past life as Tiana has a remarkably different design between the original light novel
and the anime. In the light novel, her design is akin to a cross between a cleric and a Princess Classic, with little actual resemblance to Rista. The anime, however, has her as a flat out Palette Swap, looking like Rista with shorter brunette hair, and wearing a simple dress, even sporting a bow just like Rista's.

Other Deities
Ariadoa
Ariadoa
Voiced by: Hibiku Yamamura (Japanese), Marissa Lenti (English)
The Goddess of Sealing, who saved over three hundred worlds.
- The Ace: She's one of the most experienced goddesses, as shown by her track record of saving hundreds of worlds. Even Valkyrie, who looks down on most other deities, respects her. Her experience is shown when she advises Seiya to take advantage of the Divine Realm to train under other deities and when she figures out how to make Mash and Elulu stronger.
- Buxom Beauty Standard: One of the first things we learn about her, courtesy of Rista bringing attention to it, is that she has G-cup sized breasts, which Rista expresses some envy towards.
- Cool Big Sis: She has this dynamic with Rista as she's very kind and protective of her. This is ultimately a trait carried over from when Aria first summoned Seiya, as Rista's past life as Princess Tiana was to Aria what Elulu is to Rista. Tiana's death was particularly painful for Aria, so she became protective of Rista once she became a goddess.
- Foreshadowing: There are some suspicious stuff that hints Aria's connection to Seiya:
- Aria spills the tea she's holding, as if she is very surprised to see Seiya face-to-face again.
- She speaks in a very casual tone to Seiya and addresses him on a first name basis when she interrupts the ruckus between him and Valkyrie. Of course, Seiya is curious and wary about this casualness since they haven't met yet. He's wrong though, as they have already met before.
- Rista wonders why Aria can be calm about any situation regarding Seiya and seemingly knows about him more when in fact, the former has been with him for longer. Aria panics briefly, stating that it's because Rista tells stories about him a lot. What Rista doesn't know is that Aria is the first goddess who summoned Seiya before she did.
- She seems too emotional whenever Rista talks about Seiya, as if she's trying to distance herself from him. A Wham Shot even shows Aria crying when she realized that Seiya went to face the Demon Lord of Gaeabrande by himself. This is due to regret, or a fear that Seiya might die again.
- Hot God: She's an attractive lady with bigger breasts than Rista.
- Ignored Expert: She advised Seiya to visit a faraway village to gather information on Ixphoria's Demon Lord. In his haste, Seiya had the party go straight to the Demon Lord, resulting in their demise when they're unprepared for the enemy's self-revival skill.
- Mentor Archetype: She teaches Elulu some Status Buff abilities, and helps Mash in unlocking his dragon form.
- A Million Is a Statistic: Defied. Aria is ashamed of failing to save a single world, since that world is all the residents had, and now they're doomed to suffering under the rule of the Demon Lord.
- Mundane Utility: Her power over seals can be used to unlock doors.
- My Greatest Failure: Her failure to save the B-ranked world of Ixphoria weighs heavily on her. She tries to talk Ishtar into sending her back during Rista's sentencing in the latter's place, but is denied the opportunity.
- My Greatest Second Chance: Her efforts to assist Seiya and Rista can be seen as this, since Seiya was the hero she originally summoned to Ixphoria, while Rista is the reincarnation of one of her companions from that world.
- Sexy Backless Outfit: Her dress exposes her entire back.
Ishtar
Ishtar
Voiced by: Keiko Han (Japanese), Jessica Cavanagh (English)
The Great Goddess in charge of all the others.
- Big Beautiful Woman: She looks a lot like the standard sweet granny and is rather chubby as a result, but she is still considered beautiful and her curves ultimately add to her charm.
- Big Good: She's the leader of the gods and gives them the information they need to save various worlds.
- Cool Old Lady: Her physical appearance looks a good deal more elderly than the other gods, and she's one of the kindest and wisest people amoung the whole cast.
- Elderly Immortal: She looks visibly older than the other goddesses.
- Killed Offscreen: Mersias's faction kills her to prevent her from warning the other deities with her precognition.
- Ms. Exposition: Ishtar narrates Seiya's true personality to Rista, Mash and Elulu, that he doesn't want to see his allies die, and why he pushes people away so that they wouldn't join him in battle, she later reveals his backstory in Ixphoria via a flashback sequence.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: She admits telling Seiya a certain piece of information contributed to his Heroic BSoD. The information being that Kiriko is his daughter and that her life is tied to Ultimaeus.
- Not So Above It All: She openly suggests to Rista that the latter should take a bath, as she bluntly tells her that she smells like vinegar. This is right after Seiya mocked Rista's body odor.
- The Omniscient: She's aware of everything that occurs in every world, and is described as all-knowing. However, she can't predict her own future.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: She's willing to push the limits of the gods' non-interference rules so that Rista and Seiya can save Gaeabrande. When Rista breaks the rules by using her full healing powers to help Seiya, Ishtar takes into consideration that she did succeed in her mission. Instead of taking away Rista's godhood, Ishtar orders her to save Ixphoria without using her healing powers, but also allows Seiya to be summoned again. Additionally, she wasn't the one who set the healing restriction on Rista, and later petitions the three highest ranking gods to lift that restriction, due to how Ixphoria's demons have Chain Destruction.
- Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Her name is taken from the Babylonian Goddess of fertility, love, storms, and war (which, oddly enough, was equivalent to Astarte, the goddess Ristarte is inspired on). She shares little in terms of personality with that of Ishtar though, behaving more like a kindly grandmother.
- Sink or Swim Mentor: The first volume of the manga has an easily missed short story on the back cover explaining that Ishtar is the one who assigned Rista to Gaeabrande. Nominally, her reason is to motivate Rista, who became complacent after saving five worlds. While explaining her reasons, Ishtar glances over at a list of summonable heroes, implying that she chose Gaeabrande knowing that Rista would summon Seiya.
- Top God: Subverted. She's the leader of all the deities in the Divine Realm and is considered the highest ranking one, but Valkyrie is the strongest in terms of combat ability. Later, it turns out she ranks lower than Brahma, Nemesil, and Chronoa.
Cerceus
Cerceus
Voiced by: Atsushi Ono (Japanese), Chris Rager (English)
A god known as the Divine Blade.
- Break the Badass: Despite being a Master Swordsman, constantly training and losing against Seiya causes him to become traumatized to the point of hating swords. It takes meeting Mash and taking him on as a disciple for him to regain his confidence.
- Butt-Monkey:
- When he's introduced, he goes from confident to traumatized because of Seiya's harsh training, causing him to abandon the sword. When he becomes a baker and opens a cafe, no one is shown appreciating his new trade and at one point, his cake gets destroyed during Crossed Thanatos's attack on the Divine Realm.
- In the Ixphoria arc, he befriends Jonde and Kiriko, but when he trains them, he finds that they're already stronger than him to begin with.
- In the Twisted Gaeabrande arc, he reveals that he doesn't know how to open a portal to the Divine Realm. Even Rista, a fellow example of this, looks down on him for not having this basic skill.
- Chekhov's Gunman: Because of him, it's revealed that some gods were once humans that ascended and lost their memories of their mortal lives. This sets up The Reveal later on.
- Covert Pervert: In the Warped Gaeabrande arc, he shows interest in being dominated by Chaos Machina and begs to be her slave.
- Crippling Overspecialization: Downplayed. He can do things aside from swordplay like baking, but in terms of god duties, he's largely only capable of training others in swordplay. It's bad enough that he can't even open up portals to the Divine Realm, something even Rista can do despite being a relatively new goddess.
- Deity of Human Origin: According to Ishtar, Cerceus is a human reincarnated as a god. He went through some kind of trauma in his past life, which explains why he lost his confidence after training Seiya.
- Heroic Second Wind: Played with. He instantly regains his pre-Seiya personality after he scans Mash when being requested to be his instructor.
- In Touch with His Feminine Side: After his Break the Badass moment from being forced to train with Seiya, he takes up baking and wears flowery aprons while doing so. Even after regaining his confidence after training Mash, he keeps his baking hobby and isn't afraid to openly show his emotions more often.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Rista notes that it's scummy of him to only get his motivation back when the next person to be trained by him, Mash, is far weaker than him. That said, he's still willing to take the time to help the protagonists, even when it means training Seiya to surpass him again in the Ixphoria arc. He also gives Rista a cake to console her when she's grieving over Seiya's sacrifice. When Seiya orders him to look after Jonde and Kiriko, Cerceus is intially reluctant, but grows to appreciate the two.
- Master Swordsman: He's the god who's an expert in swordsmanship. That is, until Cerceus got traumatized after Seiya turned out to be stronger than him. And then, it turns out even Adenela is better than him.
- Mentor Archetype: Was one of Seiya's first mentors and sparring partner among the gods and goddesses. Cerceus later became the mentor to help Mash level up early on.
- Mr. Exposition: He's the one who tells Rista, Mash, and Elulu exactly what Adenela has been up to ever since Seiya rejected her. His terrified reaction is enough to tell Rista that something is seriously wrong.
- Noodle Incident: According to Ishtar, when he was still human, something heavily traumatized him to the point of it being ingrained in his soul. So despite being reborn as a god with no memory of his human life, the trauma still exists within him, he just doesn't know the reason as to why. Unfortunately for him, Seiya's Training from Hell drudged it up again.
- Red Baron: The Divine Blade.
- Supreme Chef: Following his experiences with Seiya, he decided to take up baking as a hobby in order to be as far from swords as possible. Going by the cake we see, he actually got pretty good, even if none of Seiya's party wanted it.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: In the Warped Gaeabrande arc, when Seiya is reset and needs to train again, Cerceus uses his new Demon God form to beat the crap out of Seiya and clearly enjoys getting revenge on the hero, at least until Seiya levels up and starts beating the crap out of him. He also attempts to sell out to the demons when it looks like they have an advantage, only to be refused because he's too weak.
- Training from Hell: His training was supposed to be this for Seiya, but the latter insisted on continuing the training despite surpassing his teacher, turning the hell back on Cerceus.
- Worf Had the Flu: Deities aren't allowed to use their full power against humans, even when training. As a result, Seiya surpasses him in a matter of days.
Hestiaca
Hestiaca
Voiced by: Sayumi Watabe (Japanese), Kimberly Grace (English)
The Goddess of Fire.
- Brutal Honesty: She doesn't mince words when explaining to Rista that Elulu has no potential for Fire Magic whatsoever.
- Curtains Match the Window: Red hair to match her red eyes.
- Elemental Hair Colors: It's only fitting for a goddess of fire to have red hair.
- Flat Character: She's only introduced to try and help Elulu with fire magic. As such, Hestiaca has a minimal amount of screentime compared to the other named deities since she doesn't personally train Seiya in any way, and her training with Elulu is short-lived.
- God of Fire: She is a fire goddess.
- Mentor Archetype: She tries to teach Elulu fire magic, but this doesn't last long because it turns out Elulu doesn't have much aptitude for this type of magic.
- Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: She's named after Hestia, the Greek Goddess of the Hearth.
Valkyrie
Valkyrie
Voiced by: Fairouz Ai (Japanese), Katelyn Barr (English)
The Goddess of Destruction.
- Ambiguously Bi: She shows an interest in grabbing the breasts of other goddesses, but she is also found naked in bed with Seiya, stating how much of a man he is.
- Baritone of Strength: The most powerful goddess with the power of absolute destruction has the deepest voice out of any goddess, of course.
- Boyish Short Hair: Her short hair reflects her tough and tomboyish personality.
- Cast from Hit Points: Valhalla's Gate's backlash is so great that the user needs maxed out health or powerful healing just to survive the usage of the technique.
- Chained by Fashion: As opposed to the gowns that the other goddesses wear, Valkyrie wears chains in a way similar to a sarashi.
- Combat Sadomasochist: When the backlash of Valhalla's Gate leaves her in a puddle of her own blood, she enjoys the pain.
- Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Valhalla's Gate traps an enemy in a gate that is supposed to completely destroy them. The backlash is so great that she needs to have maxed out stats in order to survive, though powerful enough healing magic also works. It's possible to summon another gate in case the enemy survives the first one, but the strain on the user is so immense their body practically shatters apart and even Rista's healing magic at full power isn't enough to save them.
- Destroyer Deity: Her title is the "Goddess of Destruction", and she is known as the god most dangerous in combat. Valhalla's Gate is, in fact, so destructive, that even she isn't safe from it.
- Everyone Has Standards: She's disturbed when Rista shows that she made a doll of her own hair for Seiya. However, Valkyrie doesn't know that Seiya is able to use Rista's hair as synthesis ingredients.
- Facepalm Of Doom: Her Shattered Break skill involves crushing her opponent's head. It doesn't work on Crossed Thanatos.
- Godzilla Threshold: Crossed Thanatos is such a rare threat due to being a Nigh-Invulnerable foe, that Valkyrie requests Ishtar to max her stats just so that she can use Valhalla's Gate.
- Hidden Depths: It turns out she enjoys drawing, and at one point, is seen making an oil painting of the Divine Realm.
- Hot God: She's more tomboyish than the other goddesses, but she's still an attractive woman in a stripperiffic outfit.
- Iron Maiden: Her Valhalla's Gate skill is basically this. It's a creepy, towering mechanical torture device that can trap the target inside.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's normally a prime example of a Jerkass God, since she often threatens deities and heroes that annoy her and has a habit of groping her female colleagues. However, Valkyrie does gain enough respect for Seiya to teach him Valhalla's Gate and is touched by his determination to save Gaeabrande. She also tells Rista that she'd like to paint her picture someday after Gaeabrande's Demon Lord is defeated.
- Mentor Archetype: She teaches Seiya Valhalla's Gate.
- Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Her name, and the name of her iconic skill, Valhalla's Gate, are based from Norse mythology terms.
- Required Secondary Powers: Valhalla's Gate takes a major physical toll on the user, which is why she requests a buff from Ishtar that maxes all her stats to 9999999 and her HP at 99999999, allowing her to survive the backlash.
- Stripperiffic: Her outfit exposes a lot of skin, which is one of the reasons why Seiya calls her an "exhibitionist".
- Summon Bigger Fish: Seiya utilizes this after he, along with many other gods and goddesses, are unable to defeat Crossed Thanatos, who followed them into the Divine Realm. He gets Valkyrie involved not by asking nicely, since he figured she wouldn't, but by dodging an attack by Crossed Thanatos, which hits and destroys the painting Valkyrie was working on at the moment. Despite this, even Valkyrie is forced to use a Dangerous Forbidden Technique which also deals massive damage to herself and would've been fatal had a human used it.
- Terrible Artist: She's not very good at drawing despite her interest in it. We see a painting of Aria in her room in Episode 9... at least, what appears to be Aria.
- Tomboyish Voice: She has a raspy voice to go along with her masculine manner of speech and behavior.
- Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Her bed scene with Seiya reveals that for all her masculine traits, she sports toenail polish, the classical girly coral color for good measure.
- Too Kinky to Torture: After utilizing her Limit Break attack that was also Cast from Lifespan to defeat Crossed Thanatos, Valkyrie starts spurting blood all over her body. Rista is more creeped out that Valkyrie mentioned she could get used to this pain, than the fact that she was spraying blood all over the place.
- World's Strongest Woman: She's the strongest deity in terms of combat.
Adenela
Adenela
Voiced by: Shiori Izawa (Japanese), Alexis Tipton (English)
The Goddess of War.
- Affectionate Gesture to the Head: Headpats are all it takes for Seiya to calm Adenela back when she was just going berserk earlier.
- All Amazons Want Hercules: According to the third manga volume's short story, she took interest in Seiya after hearing rumors that he defeated Cerceus.
- Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Her ragged black clothes exposes a fair deal of her midriff.
- Battle Aura: Her body is engulfed with a dark-red burning aura when she is about to kill Seiya for rejecting her.
- Beautiful All Along: After she falls head over heels for Seiya, she briefly drops the dark and gloomy look to appear more attractive to him. All it takes is brushing her hair and wearing a dress that isn't coming apart at the seams for her to look stunning.
- Big Damn Heroes: She saves Seiya and Rista when they're about to be killed by a werewolf that invaded the Divine Realm.
- Creepy Basement: Her room is themed after one; it's dimly lit by a skull-shaped lamp giving off a sallow green light.
- Creepy Good: Messy hair, lives in the dark, creepy smile and keeps laughing at random times, but she is still a heroic goddess.
- Creepy Loner Girl: She's a dark, isolated and gloomy girl with messy hair and ragged black clothes. She spends most of her time locked inside her room that looks like a Creepy Basement.
- Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: Her eyelids have a darker pigmentation underneath.
- Crush Blush: Evident after her first training session with Seiya. Everytime she or others mention his name, she blushes and gets a far-off look in her eyes.
- Expressive Hair: The curls in her hair twist into hearts when she forgives Seiya, and do so again to a lesser extent when she sees Seiya again when he's running away from Crossed Thanatos.
- Flash Step: She can move short distances in the blink of an eye, as demonstrated when the protagonists first met her. Only Seiya is able to track her movements.
- The Glomp: Throws herself to Seiya and hugs him just before his group is about to leave.
- Laughing Mad: She tends to randomly giggle while speaking. She drops it in lovey-dovey mode though.
- Legacy Character: During the Ixphoria arc, it's revealed that she's actually the second Goddess of War. The previous goddess, Zet, was imprisoned within a well after she attempted to rebel against the Divine Realm.
- Looks Like Cesare: Much more attractive than the usual example, but otherwise hits all the hallmarks.
- Master Swordswoman: She's better at swordplay and martial arts in general than Cerceus, to the point of knowing a sword skill that unleashes near-simultaneous slashes in multiple directions.
- Messy Hair: Typically, her hair is matted and disheveled, with two strands even resembling horns, but she fixes it up (along with the rest of her appearance) after gaining feelings for Seiya.
- Nightmare Face: Likes to pull these off in her Woman Scorned mode. Variants include the Ghostly Gape, Glowing Eyes of Doom, and the Slasher Smile.
- Pet the Dog: She tries to console Rista after Seiya sacrifices himself to kill Gaeabrande's Demon Lord.
- Room Full of Crazy: Her room is filled with the word "kill" after Seiya rejected her and her cake.
- Sexy Mentor: She's one of the deities whom Seiya trained with in order to learn a new ability and she develops a big crush on him after only three training sessions. She doesn't fit into the "sexy" part because of her unflattering way of dressing at first, but she tries to make herself prettier for Seiya only for him to reject her.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: She normally looks unkempt until she decides to brush her hair and wear proper clothes to look good in front of Seiya. It doesn't last long, though.
- Shifting Voice of Madness: Her voice is normally quite deep and breathy, but it'll switch to a squeaky high once she's in lovey-dovey mode.
- Simultaneous Blade Spam: Her signature Eternal Sword technique, which requires abnormal limb rotation beyond a normal human's ability.
- Speech Impediment: She stutters a lot.
- Tears of Blood: Played for Laughs when she cries blood after being rejected by Seiya.
- Thinks Like a Romance Novel: According to the short story at the end of the third manga volume, she reads a romance comic about a swordsman falling in love, which explains her affection for Seiya.
- Through His Stomach: She bakes a cake for Seiya as a sign of affection, only for Seiya to call it gross without even trying it.
- Token Mini-Moe: She's short and flat-chested, unlike the other tall, busty goddesses in the Divine Realm.
- War Goddess: Her title is "goddess of war", which, in her case, appears to mean melee combat with swords.
- Woman Scorned: Subverted. When Seiya rejects her, she vents her anger on a nearby statue. The next time they meet, she's about to attack him with her sword, but he caresses her hair, causing her to instantly forgive him. Aria also claims that Adenela doesn't really have it in her to kill Seiya.
- The Worf Effect: She's unable to damage Crossed Thanatos, who is immune to most attacks. You know Crossed Thanatos is the real deal when the "Goddess of War" can't hurt them.
Rasti
Rasti
A goddess of shape-shifting.- Break the Haughty: She becomes depressed when Seiya masters shape-shifting quickly, including her ultimate technique: the ability to make other people transform.
- Jerkass Gods: She looks down on Rista for being a novice goddess and laughs at her when she trains to impersonate a fish beastkin. That said, she does eventually praise Rista for mastering the role, albeit in a backhanded way.
- Mundane Utility: She transforms into a cyclops in order to reach the upper part of a bookshelf.
- Underestimating Badassery: She tells Seiya not to underestimate the time needed to master shape-shifting, only to be surprised when he masters it in mere hours.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: She can change her form to that of other beings, but only those she has seen before. This shape-shifting also doesn't affect the user's status and abilities.
Boros
Boros
The god of earth, who has a strange rule about never interacting with others at night.- Adaptation Deviation: Boros is a replacement for Mariya from the web novel version, who is a trans woman with the same role of teaching Seiya earth magic. Other than their mentor role, their motivations and personalities are different.
- Defeat Means Friendship: When Seiya discovers his hair growth, Boros tries to trap Seiya and Rista in his garden to keep his secret from leaking out. After his defeat, Boros decides to stop hiding his hair growth and accent. He's also thankful towards Seiya for lifting the burden of hiding this secret off his shoulders.
- Dishing Out Dirt: He specializes in earth magic, has maximum earth resistance, and can create golems.
- Pretty Boy: Rista considers him handsome and dapper but he drops this trope after his defeat, since he allows his hair to grow out.
Baldr
Baldr
The goddess of wealth, who teaches Rista how to lift curses.- Con Artist: Downplayed. While she does overcharge for her lessons and divine artifacts, their effect on Rista is real, as indicated by Aria sensing more divine power from the novice goddess.
- Greed: She is obsessed with accumulating material wealth and charges ridiculous amounts of Goddon to teach Rista anti-curse techniques.
- Light Is Good: Her anti-curse abilities are considered light attribute and she's one of the deities of the Divine Realm. However, she's not exactly an upstanding deity, since she's greedy and charges Rista 29000 Goddons for her lessons.
Exiled Deities
Mitis
Mitis
Voiced by: Kotono Mitsuishi (Japanese), Samantha Herek (English)
The Goddess of the Bow.
- Adaptational Villainy: In the web novel, she was exiled for "sexually eating" one of the heroes she summoned. In the Yen Press light novel translation, she kidnapped and raped multiple heroes.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: For most of the days Seiya trains with her at the forest, Mitis behaves like a polite and kind goddess. It's until the last day that she reveals herself as a sex-crazed goddess who will try to have her way with any man she encounters.
- Black Comedy Rape: Her sexual harassment on Seiya and Attempted Rape on Mash are played for Black Comedy.
- Brick Joke: She moves on all fours and crawls like a spider just as she reveals her horny side in the forest. By the end of the Gaeabrande arc, Mitis sneaked to the central area of the Divine Realm, but once Aria ordered her to go back to the forest, she crawls like a spider again on the way out.
- Cool Crown: She wears a circlet.
- Dirty Old Woman: A nymphomaniac goddess who has a fetish for mortals who she's naturally hundreds of years older than at least. When she can't get her hands on Seiya, she then targets Mash saying that she's "perfectly fine with a shota."
- Double Entendre: Sexual innuendos go along with her perverted and masochistic trait:Mitis: I'm being pierced by something thick and long!Elulu: What is Mitis-sama saying!?
- Erotic Eating: After she witnessed Seiya calming down an enraged Adenela, Mitis sensually licks an apple before biting it.
- Foil: To Adenela:
- Adenela likes to dress messily with dark clothes, and her hair is a messy purple. Mitis is immaculately dressed in a white dress with straight white hair.
- Adenela is a Master Swordswoman, while Mitis is a master of the bow.
- Adenela appears creepy and unhinged, but is actually quite nice. Mitis appears prim and proper, but is actually an unhinged nymphomaniac.
- Both Adenela and Mitis gain feelings towards Seiya. Adenela harbors love, albeit unrealistic and despite being rejected, can't bring herself to harm him. Mitis only feels lust and has no problem raping him for her own pleasure.
- Gold and White Are Divine: She wears a white chiton with gold accessories, giving her the more traditional appearance of a Greek goddess compared to the other gods in the Divine Realm.
- Improbable Aiming Skills: She shoots all three of Seiya's firebirds with one arrow.
- Interplay of Sex and Violence: She orgasms when Seiya manages to pin her to a tree with five consecutive arrows. Rista had to quickly transport Mash and Elulu to Gaeabrande to prevent them from seeing.
- A Lighter Shade of Black: Of the known exiled gods, Mitis' crime is actually the least evil. Whereas Mersais and Zet tried to rebel against the Divine Realm itself, Mitis "sexually devoured" a summoned hero. Fittingly, while Mersais was banished all together and Zet was sealed away, Mitis was just forced to live in the forest until she learns her lesson.
- Lovable Sex Maniac: Averted due to the consequences. Aria states that she's a horny goddess who sexually "ate" a hero she summoned. Since relationships between deities and humans are forbidden, Ishtar exiled her to a forest in the Divine Realm. Aria implies the humans in the relationships would be punished too, which is bad for the imperiled worlds if their heroes are involved in these relationships.
- Master Archer: She's the Goddess of Archery, so she obviously has superhuman accuracy when it comes to aiming.
- Mystical White Hair: She's a goddess with pure white hair.
- Nightmare Face: In the anime, she gains red sclera and pointy teeth when she reveals her true horny colors.
- Sacred Bow and Arrows: She's an archery goddess, so it's natural that she uses a bow and magic arrows.
- Sexy Mentor: She teaches Seiya some archery abilities. Her last "test" for him is to shoot at the ropes wrapped around her naked body so they can have sex after he passes. He turns down the sex and pins the nude Mitis to a tree instead.
- Situational Sexuality: She's spent so long without any sexual contact that she's considering sleeping with women just to sate her urges. She started out wanting to assault Seiya, but in the Ixphoria arc, she tries to sexually assault Rista, but backs off when the latter uses anti-curse magic to make her go bald.
- Token Evil Teammate: She's one of the deities who mentors Seiya, but she turns out not to be as benevolent as she first appears. Despite being exiled for starting a relationship with a hero, she never learned her lesson at all, and planned to rape Seiya (and later Mash) at the end of their training. Fortunately, Seiya prevents this with his newfound archery skills, but this event does show why even the kind and understanding Aria considers Mitis to be a terrible goddess. Even then though, she still shows up to comfort Rista when everyone thinks Seiya is dead. The token part is subverted when the Ixphoria arc introduces a second Goddess of War, Zet, who was exiled into a well for rebelling against the other gods.
- Verbal Tic: She almost always ends her sentences in "-de gozaimasu."
- White Hair, Black Heart: A downplayed case. Her appearance reminds of purity, particularly because of her white hair. When she reveals her true colors, she's the most perverse goddess in the Divine Realm. Outside of her habit of "sexually eating" heroes, she's surprisingly not that bad. It's just when it comes to said heroes, she has no self-control whatsoever.
Mersais
Mersais
The Goddess of Tyranny who long ago rebelled against the Divine Realm in the Armagazeeda, and was defeated by Valkyrie.- Big Bad: She steps into this role after the Ixphoria arc, and launches a direct attack on the Divine Realm itself.
- Dream Walker: She invades Rista's dream at the end of Volume 4 to talk to her.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She seems to care for her masked subordinate, the Divine Hero, and is worried that they're pushing themselves too much with Berserk: Phase 4. She destroyed several worlds to gain the power to both oppose the Divine Realm and to revive her minion.
- Fallen Angel: She once lived in the Divine Realm, but eventually came to rebel against it.
- God of Evil: The Goddess of Tyranny. She is also the Dark God worshipped by the demons of Ixphoria.
- Greater-Scope Villain: In the Ixphoria arc. She's the Dark God who gave the demons of Ixphoria the blessings that make them so powerful, and she gives aid to each of the four demon emperors as well.
- Meaningful Appearance: Her hair has many different colors, each one representing a world she destroyed. It's for this reason she's referred to as the tawny or brindle-haired demon.
- Noodle Incident: According to Ishtar, Mersais once came up to the Three Pillars for a request, but they could not come to an agreement, sparking her rebellion.
Zet
Zet
Another goddess of warfare, who sided with God of Tyranny Mersais during the first war of Armagezeeda.
- Co-Dragons: She and the Divine Hero seem to share the role of being Mersais's top enforcers.
- Evil Counterpart: She and Adenela are both creepy goddesses of war, but Adenela is heroic underneath her creepy exterior and wants what's best for Seiya while Zet attempted to turn Seiya into a mindless pawn during their training. Additionally, the two were on opposite sides during the first war of Armagezeeda, with Zet holding a grudge over losing to Adenela.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: She's sealed in the Well of No Return for rebelling against the other gods. She gets unsealed at the end of the Ixphoria arc.
- Villain Respect: She respects Seiya for being able to maintain his sanity while using the Berserk technique. She tells him to be careful not to attempt Berserk Phase 3, since doing so could cause mental damage that lasts even when he returns to Earth.
Other Heroes
Ethan Schiffer
Ethan Schiffer
A hero summoned by Valkyrie for the Divine Cup. He specializes in destruction techniques.- Off with His Head!: Mersais's heroine kills him and presents his head to the audience of the Divine Cup.
- Strong and Skilled: Downplayed on the skilled part. He has higher base stats than Seiya, but hasn't mastered as many techniques. He's still very skilled compared to most heroes, since he mastered all destruction techniques except for Gate of Valhalla. He's also a soldier back on Earth, which means he has a lot of combat experience. Unfortunately, this isn't enough to beat Mersais's heroine, who mastered the Berserk technique.
Masato Morino
Masato Morino
A hero summoned by Aegis for the Divine Cup. He specializes in defense.- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: He has the ability to duplicate his shield to better protect himself from both physical attacks and magic. Reimi gets around this by using water magic to drown him and force him to drop his guard.
- Stone Wall: His strategy is to absorb his opponent's attack into his shields and eventually send that energy back to them.
Reimi Mochizuki
Reimi Mochizuki
A heroine summoned by Ariadoa for the Divine Cup. She specializes in magic.- Combat Pragmatist: When she realizes that her spells are being absorbed by Masato's shields, she resorts to drowning him with a water spell in order to force him to dispel his shields.
The Divine Hero (SPOILERS)
The Divine Hero
A heroine summoned by Mersais, who originally had her soul destroyed by the Berserk technique.- Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: After killing Ethan, she mocks him for being weak and inexperienced.
- Co-Dragons: She and Zet are the direct subordinates of Mersais.
- Fallen Hero: She was once a heroine and one of the winners of the Divine Cup, but now she's helping Mersais distort the universe.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Mersais had to search many warped worlds to find a version of the Divine Hero who survived Berserk Phase 4. However, the Divine Hero's soul is so tainted by the Berserk technique that her mindset is no longer considered human.
- Worthy Opponent: She believes Seiya would have put up a better fight than Ethan and was looking forward to fighting him.
The Three Pillars
Brahma
Brahma
- Brutal Honesty: They makes no bones about how weak Rista's healing powers are without her godly limiters removed.
- Jerkass Gods: Despite being on the heroic side, they're far from nice. They don't think too highly of mortals and at one point admits that they're willing to bend the laws of time travel to save Rista, but not Seiya. Later, they sends Seiya back to Earth to prevent him from learning about Mersais.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: They ignored Seiya's offer to investigate Mersais and forced him to go back to Earth. When Mersais invades the Divine Realm, Seiya isn't there to come up with countermeasures against her.
- Obstructive Bureaucrat: Zigzagged. They allows Rista to use her powers again and later allows her to use Order for the final battle against Ultimaeus. However, when Seiya declares his intent to research the evil gods, Brahma forcibly sends him back home, stating that this subject is off-limits to mortals.
- Two-Faced: Half of their body looks male while the other half looks female.
Nemesiel
Nemesiel
The god of logic and reason.- Large and in Charge: He's over five meters tall and he's one of the top three deities.
- Obstructive Bureaucrat:
- When Ishtar petitions the three central gods to allow Rista to use her healing powers in Ixphoria, Nemesiel initially denies her request because he believes Rista still deserves to be punished for using her full powers in Gaeabrande. He only relents when he learns that Rista's default healing powers are weak.
- He also objects to Seiya's request to use time travel to save Rista from a curse. He once again relents when Seiya uses the Granny Rista Sword to shrivel him up.
Chronoa
Chronoa
The goddess of time.- Reasonable Authority Figure: While she still wants Rista to complete the mission to save Ixphoria, she's more lenient on the punishment than Nemesiel, as shown when she agrees with allowing Rista to use her healing powers. She notes that in a world where all enemies have Chain Destruction, sending Rista there without her powers is a death sentence. This turns out to be true, since the party would have lost to the third emperor without Rista's powers. She also gives Rista the last known snapshot of Ultimaeus's status.
- Time Master: As the goddess of time, she can do things like sending people back to the past, under the caveat that they don't change history. Before the battle with Ultimaeus, she teaches Seiya how to negate time magic, which comes in handy when Ultimaeus turns out to be able to stop time.
