Gods and Buddhas

Gods (神, Kami) and Buddhas (仏, Butsu), also called Divine Beings, Deities, Aesir (Norse) and Deva (Hindu and Buddhism), are one of the various races in Vampyre, Knights and Boobs and are a principal object of faith and worship in religions and mythologies.

Appearance
Most Gods and Buddhas share the appearance of humans (with Hades possessing greyish-blue skin, and Persephone possessing purple-pink skin), though some (such as Sun Wukong) can have animal-like appearances, while others (such as (usually) Morpheus and Tartarus) look like nothing that could possibly be alive (a mass of mist and hundred-meter ball for example).

Powers and Abilities
All Gods have powers surpassing those of even Ultimate-Class Vampyres and Satan-Class Devils, while the most powerful Gods like Indra is said to have power exceeding the combined powers of the current Five Faction Leaders, rivaled only by the Heavenly Dragons; possibly Draculs and Super Devils; and exceeded by the Dragon Gods and the True Dragon. All the Gods, so far, have displayed expertise in their particular faction's magic system.

Due to their immense powers, strong weapons such as the replica Mjölnir, Gungnir or the top-tier Ancient Gears, such as the Longinus are able to significantly injure or kill them. However, while they are long-lived, with lifespans seemingly measured in millennia, Gods are not immortal, growing old and weakening in their later years. In a case where they are defeated, Gods can be revived so long as there is a sufficient amount of human faith.

Gods are immune to the power of the Master-Servant Contract and those of it's variants, the Evil Pieces and Brave Saints, as well, so they cannot be transformed into either Vampyre, Devil or Seraph. Though half-gods such as the Valkyries like Afleya and Waltraute and/or a half-grim reaper like Sasha are able to be reincarnated and bound to the Master-Servant Contract.

In Volume 9, Sun Wukong states that some Heroes have become gods 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 gods or an evil god.

In Volume 10, Indra makes a comment stating that the Gods gather the thoughts and beliefs 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.
