Heretic Gods

Heretic Gods are deities that feature in Campione!.

History

The Heretic Gods were a group of deities that had existed since the time of pre-history where they consisted of gods and goddesses in human mythology.

The group possessed no central administrative headquarters or operational chain of command due to their fiercely independent and proud natures, manifesting unpredictably across major historical sectors. Prominent figures like the Persian war god Verethragna, the Mediterranean huntress Athena, and the legendary King of the End Rama launched continuous localized incursions that shattered regional weather systems and threatened human populations with total erasure.

At some point, a mystical artifact forged known as Prometheus' Grimoire was created that had the power of stealing a gods Authority. Seeking to permanently secure the human species from total subjugation under these rampaging immortals, a tiny handful of elite mortal human slayers to systematically wage war against them, executing the deities in brutal combat to steal their divine authorities

Four years ago, the Campione Sasha Dejanstahl Voban sought to use many special magic-users in order to summon a Heretic God so that he could have a challenge and take its power. However, the power was stolen b Salvatore Doni by the end thus thwarting the Count's plans.

In the wake of Athena's defeat, Voban was deprived of his chance to battle her and thus sought to re-do the ceremony to bring a new Heretic God to battle. To achieve that end, he had Liliana kidnap Yuri Mariya in Japan to get the Princess-Shrine Maiden to begin the ritual but she refused as it would bring a danger to her country.

Overview

In appearance, the Heretic Gods was an incredibly irregular organization whose core planetary manifestations consisted entirely of diverse alien humanoids, exotic beast creatures, and mythological entities. These entities were actual deities that were rogue gods who brought disaster on the world. They featured a drastically mismatched collective build that ranged from the slender, young schoolgirl stature of the snake goddess Athena to the majestic, armored multi-armed framework of ancient war gods and towering avian phoenix forms. The organization possessed no unified natural physiology, skin coloration, or hair requirements due to the separate biological heritages of the individual human myths gathered inside their ranks, with individual entities displaying long white hair, dark skin layers, or completely non-human animalistic anatomy. They expanded their visual identity by entirely rejecting uniform state military camouflages or standardized corporate jumpsuits, allowing individual champions to wear custom vestments that highlighted their ancient regional heritages. Their garments consisted of a vibrant, distinct mixture of classical Greco-Roman chitons, traditional Asian silk robes, and heavy steel combat armor plates decorated with intricate spiritual engravings, which they paired with massive broadswords or staves to project sovereign divine authority when materializing before cowering mortal mages. They were gods that had broken out of their mythic plane and manifested themselves on Earth. Heretics Gods created different kinds of disasters depending on their nature. Avatars of the gods manifested in different forms such as tornadoes or sun gods creating scorching inferno or sea gods creating great floods and war gods led to conflict breaking out. Only those that possessed magic were able to perceive them with normal humans only seeing them as natural disasters.

They were endowed with a range of divine powers and weaponry with these being known as Authorities that embodied their right to rule in the myths. It was a gods ability and power that dated back to the earliest origins of the Heretic God. The origin stories of the deities were noted for being deep and complex.

As a group, they were a multi-species organization that naturally lacked any shared, uniform biological traits due to the immense anatomical, genetic, and evolutionary differences between their thousands of distinct mythological data matrices. They utilized their collective status as living legends to execute highly destructive tactical incursions, manipulate localized atmospheric pressures to summon severe storms, and bypass standard mortal tracking networks completely undetected. They did not possess a single shared, uniform superpower or collective immunity against god-slaying weapons, relying instead on high-tier individual manipulation of divine spiritual energy and reality-warping domains. Their specialized capabilities allowed separate units to shape-shift into ten distinct animal and warrior configurations via Verethragna, command endless legions of demonic wolves via Marquis Voban, project concentrated plasma blasts of dark energy, and achieve high-velocity flight. Their primary capabilities allowed them to command independent swarms of divine beasts, grant massive magical upgrades to their subordinate spirits, and maintain an unbroken, highly disciplined barrier of divine influence until their core power matrices faced ultimate neutralization and theft by a high-tier Campione.

There were various kinds of gods that included:

• Gods of Steel :
• Gods of Earth :
• Sun Gods :

Some were able to manifest their power as divine beasts of great power that appeared as giant boars or birds of prey. In some cases, Heretics Gods were able to lose part of their divinities if wounded or if they were sealed with this sometimes being placed inside a Grimoire.
