Story Synopsis
A Campione—a godslayer—is a supreme
ruler.
Since he can kill a celestial being, he can
therefore call on the sacrosanct, divine
powers wielded by the gods.
A Campione—a godslayer—is a lord.
Since the power to kill a deity is in his
hands, he therefore looms over all mortals
on Earth.
A Campione—a godslayer—is a devil.
Since of all mortals who live in the world,
none can assume a power to match his!
Kusanagi Godou, a 16 year old boy who
played in the senior league as catcher and
fourth hitter—that is, the cleanup —when
he was in Junior High. However, an
injury put an end to baseball.
Though that was not the end for him.
During the spring break of his third and
last year in Junior High, he got involved
in an adventure and ended up slaying one
of the Heretic Gods, Verethragna. Thus,
he became the youngest—and seventh—
Campione.
Now that he is a Campione, a godslayer,
the young Godou must defeat the
troublemaking gods, with the help of his
followers!
