Deities

Deities, or Gods, are immortal entities with power, status, and authority beyond mortals. They usually have a human appearance, but are set apart by the fact their forms are typically considered the ideal of beauty. When on the Fantasy World they normally emit a divine aura which indicates their divinity to other Gods. A deity's power corresponds directly from the number of their followers and the intensity of their faith. If a deity no longer has any followers, they are wiped completely out of existence.

Known Deities

 * Aqua - The Goddess of Water who monitors Japan and is worshiped by the questionably fanatic Axis Order. She is currently barred from Heaven and serves as an arch-priest in Kazuma's party.
 * Wolbach - The dark Goddess of Violence and Sloth. Her slothful half served as a general of the Demon King until her death at the hands of Megumin, while her violent half lives on in their party as Chomusuke. On the contrary to tension between gods and demons, she is worshiped by many demons in the Demon King's Army.
 * Regina - The nearly forgotten evil Goddess of Puppetry and Vengeance. She was worshiped by the Demon King General Seresdina (before Seresdina's conversion to the Axis Faith), a priest named Lucy (who continued to worship even in death) and briefly Kazuma (as Seresdina's puppet).
 * Eris - The Goddess of Good Fortune who guides those who die in the Fantasy World to their next life. Eris is worshiped by the Eris Order and has the largest following of any God in the Fantasy World.

Trivia

 * Wolbach is capable of bleeding. It is unknown whether Aqua has blood in her veins, or if it automatically gets purified into holy water. However, Aqua seems to be capable of getting drunk, which would require a blood alcohol content.
 * Deities such as Aqua and Wolbach who incarnate directly to the mortal plane retain their divine abilities and aura. However, if deities incarnate through a different form, such as Chris, they would not be able to use their divine abilities on the mortal plane.


 * In Volume 7, there is the mention of the Goddess Amaterasu, who in Japanese Shintoism is known as the Shinto Sun Goddess. It is mentioned by Aqua that she hid in a celestial cave out of anger and to get her out, the other Gods threw a party for her.
 * There is a mention of a Goddess of Gold and Silver in LN 5 that may appear at the fountain of the Crimson Magic Village.
 * In the Explosions spinoff, Megumin says that Komekko, her younger sister, is actually an incarnation of the God of Gluttony, Ashteroth.
 * According to Natsume Akatsuki, Zenarith, the Goddess of Undeath and Disaster mentioned in Combatants Will Be Dispatched! is Regina's sister.
 * A running gag in the later light novels is that Megumin claims to have been the Goddess of destruction in her previous life. In the game Konosuba: Fantastic Days this god is named as Strgnoc.
 * Aqua claims that she and her junior, Eris, are the only two officially recognised Goddesses of the Konosuba world.
