Kouryuu (黃龍, Yellow Dragon) is the Leader of the Four Gods.
Description[]
Kouryuu is a divine beast, which holds dominion over the Four Gods with strength that exceeds their own and is the direction of the "Center" whose season is "Midsummer". This golden dragon is often utilized as the symbol for Emperors and its element is "Earth" with full control over the destructive volcanos and earthquakes with its power extending all across the earth itself instead of just being limited to Japan.
However, the times that Kouryuu appears are normally limited to whenever it discovers either a King or Emperor deserving of its power as shown during the Heian Period as he appeared in front of the Uda Emperor. As such, it has never appeared before even great leaders or even heroes past or present histories, not even the "Strongest Hero", Jin Toujou. There is another condition for his arrival, which Shiba Kyouichi took full advantage of, which is that if all the Four Gods were to be defeated then Kouryuu would arrive and defeat the threat: Mio Naruse, Maria Naruse, Yuki Nonaka, Kurumi Nonaka, Zest, and Basara Toujou, then he lent his strength to Shiba.
Shiba planned to have Kouryuu materialize all of his power, then absorb the golden dragon into himself in order to gain control over his power.
Powers and Abilities[]
As the Leader of the Four Gods and embodiment of the Earth, Kouryuu is an unimaginably powerful being, which surpasses the Four Gods under it and might rival or surpass one of the Ten Gods. It was stated that if Shiba were to use the full power of Reginleif and achieve balance with the Five Elements, then absorb Kouryuu, he would've become an omnipotent being. His power was so great that even while in an incomplete state, Koruryu was able to hold Chisato, Mio, Maria, and Zest singlehandedly, but was defeated only thanks to Lars' full-power strike.
Earth Manipulation: Being a Divine Beast of the Center, which represents Earth, Kouryuu holds absolute control over all of the land on the planet, meaning that Shiba could attack the Vatican while staying in Japan on the other side of the world.
Immense Strength: As a colossal Dragon, Kouryuu has an enormous amount of brute power able to destroy part of Tokyo Tower effortlessly and even breakthrough Lars's demonic sphere.
Immense Durability: Kouryuu possesses tremendous resistance to damage and injury being almost unfazed by combined effort Chisato, Mio, Maria, and Zest which each of them is extremely powerful on their own. However, he can still be defeated if the attack is strong enough as Lars take him down with his full power, in addition to his Magic Spheres being made of material from another universe entirely.
Barrier Protection: Aside from his own enormous durability Kouryuu is able to create a barrier around himself to further boost his defense and make himself near-invulnerable. The only thing that could penetrate this Barrier is Lars' spheres.
