Chief God


 * Not to be confused with the original Chief God, unless you're in the Order

The Chief God is the principal deity among the Gods worshipped by the Order, and, therefore, by the majority of humans in the Monster Girl Encyclopedia world. Commanding the Angels, Valkyries, and lesser divinities, the Chief God stands in opposition to the monsters in general and the Demon Lord in particular. The Chief God grants boons to humans, making them blessed heroes, and sometimes speaks to her devotees directly, like Sasha Folmoon.

Myth and Reality
As described in Monster Girl Encyclopedia I, Order doctrine holds that the Chief God created the world and all things in it, with the exception of the other gods, and the monsters who "emerged from the darkness". The humans believe that the Chief God is omniscient and omnipotent, and gently watches over the world to guide mankind in the right direction. Worship of some other gods, like Ares and Eros, is accepted in Order lands as these divinities are understood to be subordinates of the Chief God. With a message of love, kindness, and temperance, the Chief God's teachings describe how to live a virtuous life in harmony and contentment with one's neighbours - except the evil monsters.

However, after interviewing the Demon Lord, the Wandering Scholar relates a different story of the Chief God. Most importantly - as with the Demon Lord - the Chief God is a title, not a single being. Although the original Chief God did create the world, humanity, and subdue the other gods, it also intentionally created the monsters. Furthermore, the present Chief God is an inexperienced goddess only newly risen to paramountcy, and she was gravely wounded after trying to destroy the Demon Lord and her husband in battle. Unable to directly attack her nemeses again, the Chief God currently focuses on raising human heroes in the hope that one will succeed in slaying the leader of the monsters.
