Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi unfolds in a world that was once saved by the Idaten, battle deities born from humanity's desperate prayers when the demon race threatened to destroy everything. After driving the demons back and securing an age of peace, the surviving Idaten have spent eight hundred years in a quiet era that no longer seems to need them. Under Rin, the last veteran of that ancient war, these gods live with the weight of their own forgotten purpose, restless in a time that has left their strength without a clear enemy.
That fragile peace shatters when the Zoble Empire revives a demon, dragging the new generation of Idaten back into the conflict their predecessors barely survived. As gods, humans, and demons collide once again, the story turns into a brutal struggle over survival, power, and the return of an old enemy whose existence was supposed to be buried in legend. Balancing mythic action with a harsh sense of desperation, the series follows a war that exposes how easily peace can vanish when the forces that created it are forced to fight again.
