The Idaten Deities know Only Peace’s Plot
The Manga is finally getting released by Seven Seas Entertainment in English, and they described it as:
The story begins 800 years in the past, and the world is infested with demons, creatures that are almost unstoppable, and humans cannot fight them. Humans’ lives are on the brink of extinction. Humanity prays to god for a savior, and their prayers are answered in the form of god-like beings called Deities. These Deities go to war for humans and start to fight against the demons for humans.
The Deities fight against demons, totally eradicating them, and all demons that survive are sealed and captured in a super strong seal, for which the Deities sacrificed their lives. The only Deitie who survived the battle against the demon tribe 800 years ago was Rin.
Rin, who is the only surviving Deitie, is dedicated to keeping the seal protected and is assigned to train the unborn gods that are still yet to come. Rin is over 800 years old but appears like a young girl. This is where we see our main protagonist, Hayato, with Rin training him, and both are training super hard so that Hayato can be ready for the demons.
Rin is harsh on Hayato as it has been 800 years since the demon’s era, but in case the demons manage to return, Hayato can be ready to face them. I am living a peaceful life right now. Hayato is not the only one of the Idaten, there are others of his fellow Idaten, the first being Ysley, who appears as a young boy and loves to study. Later, the two of them go to meet with Paula.
Paula likes to spend time with animals and talk to birds, and the birds inform her that the humans have started to gather at the north glaciers. Ysley speculates that it is some sort of military operation of the Zabel empire, which is a kingdom ruled by a demon emperor.
The three of them go to investigate the situation, and when they arrive at the glaciers, they are shocked to see a large ancient demon that is frozen. After they discover that the demon’s name is Judo, The mission is led by humans, and one of them seems to have extensive knowledge about demons. The three speculate that maybe they are not even humans, and one of them might be a demon in disguise.
Eventually, Judo the demon is set free from the ice, but to everyone’s surprise, he doesn’t attack the humans. But Judo soon spots the three of the Idaten Deities and instantly attacks Paula. While she manages to dodge his attack but only by the skin of her teeth, the humans also get scared of the demon and start attacking it as well.
After a great fight with the demon, they were able to finish it, this being their first encounter with a demon, which made them realize how powerful demons are, but the danger was not over yet, and their journey had just begun.
