Dies irae Pantheon plot premise:


Does living with purpose yield joy or misery? I did not know the answer... Yet I found myself yearning for an unattainable world. To lead an unremarkable life of peaceful mundanity, and pass away peacefully. That is the life I wished for you. A path far different from my own.

It was a universe in which wrath was dominant. That's what her intuition had told her. For Seven Generations, Seven Cycles, Seven Heavens, the Throne had perpetuated itself. Sustained itself on rage.

That serves as a passport to a priviliged standing. The greater one's ire, the deeper one's indignation runs, the higher they are elevated to planes unknown. Those who held on to it, emanated it, would be the ones to brush the strokes with paint. The Day of Wrath, Dies irae.

The Goddess known as the Twilight was a clear exception. But that exception would ultimately reflect a Goddess of Death. For if the rules were to be broken, that would herald the system's collapse. Thus, the hour of reckoning has finally come.

The Truth grins, the Merciless stands tall, the Morning Star attempts to decipher the riddle. The Mercury sheds his skin, born anew. The Gold exalts, the Ephemeral Moment and the Twilight paint dreams of peace, and Hajun senses his true enemy. But what does the Dawn look towards?

On that day, every God shall gather, and the curtain will be raised upon their final fight.


Muzan

Live in the embrace of sin and punishment, for that is man.
Paradise Lost: 墮天無慙楽土, Daten Muzan Rakudo (The Degenerate Heaven, The Remorseless Paradise) The second generation god who toppled Shinga and took the Throne, his law planted the original sin in every living being, creating the world of primordial karma.
Therefore, with the desires growing to the extremes, not being shackled by anything, the era where atrocious crime equal to progression of civilazation had begun.
The Paradise where evil consumes evil.
A world where strength is everything, sinful people poisoned by cruelty and shamelessness, and if shame does not exist, neither does regret.
Saltanel

White, White, Be dyed in the colours of the pure white salt Zoar: 明星悲想天, Myoujou Hisouten (A compassionate heaven, born from the perception of the Morning Star)
The name of that God is the Morningstar.

The third god who has defeated the Remorseless and took over the throne. According to his law, every living being is born with no primordial sin, purified to the core.
A dystopian colony like society that denied human personality in the name of the world devoid of evil or conflict.
A prison of salt born of obsessive desire for purity and sterility---such is the world of the Morningstar.



Mercurius

The name of that god is the Mercury.
The fourth god who has defeated the Morningstar and took over the throne. According to his law, every living being is locked within an endless loop.
The bearer of the new age of the Divine Throne who has introduced the concept of the afterlife and expanded his realm across the entire multiverse by sealing the axis of time itself.
This is the god who boasts the longest reign to date.
Reinhard

The name of that God is the Gold. A Godslayer born from a God's Apoptosis, a desire for self-destruction.
Having lived for far too long, the Mercury fell into despair and desired his own death, creating the Gold as a being that could slay him.
For this reason the two are as parent and child, bosom friends, and simultaneously both irreconcilable enemies and inseparable companions that share their fate with one another.
As the Gold is the incarnation of the Mercury's desire for self-destruction, should the latter perish, so would the former.
For this reason, while the Gold achieved the status of a God, he could never claim the Throne.
Marie

The name of that God is the Twilight. The Fifth God that inherited the title from the Mercury, who abdicated the Throne in her favor. Her Law was that of a world where all life reincarnates in a cycle of eternal transmigration.
The most striking characteristic of her Law was that as one experiences countless lives in the cycle of Saṃsāra, the souls of man gradually became mixed and intermingled.
As a result, the discrimination of race, sex and wealth became faded as the differences between people diluted. Over the course of many ages and incarnations, the souls of mankind would grow and mature.
In addition, across all ages, the Twilight's Fifth Throne was the only that allowed the co-existence of different Gods.
Ren

The name of that God is the Moment. An artificial lifeform created by the Mercury to facilitate the growth of the Twilight as a god.
He later shattered the shackles of his born purpose and awakened as a God, but realizing that his Law would only plunge the cosmos into eternal stasis through the stopping of all time, he deemed himself unworthy of Godhood and yielded the Throne to the Twilight.
As such, he serves as her guardian and the shield of the Fifth Throne.
Hajun

The name of that God is Hajun. The God of the Sixth Throne who defeated the Twilight and stole away the Throne from her, his Law was that of a world where all lives kill one another until only one remains.
Bearing extreme, maddened egotism, he believed himself to be the only existence that bears any kind of meaning in the entirety of creation, and decreed that everyone other than him are to die. His was the single most terrible Law in the history of the Throne.
