To the Abandoned Gods Beasts has been serialized in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine since 2014. The pseudo-divine soldiers gained immense power during the war at the cost of their human bodies. The story follows them in the world after the war. They have transformed from humans into beasts, some who try to continue the war, some who try to be useful to humans, and some who no longer understand anything. It is also a somewhat sad story in which Hank, the former captain of the pseudo-divine soldiers, travels the world to kill these pseudo-divine soldiers who have lost their humanity. In this article, we will introduce all of the pseudo-divine soldiers that have appeared.
What are pseudo-divine soldiers, anyway?
Soldiers created by Elaine. By incorporating the cores of pseudo-divine soldiers, crafted from Somnium, into their bodies, these soldiers gain beast-like powers. However, the chances of surviving an implanted core are low, and many have lost their lives in this experiment.
Werewolf
He is a former captain of the Werewolf Divine Soldier Corps. His real name is Hank Henriette. He has been friends with Elaine and Kane since church school. In keeping with the Divine Soldier Corps' oath to bury heartless beasts with his comrades, he travels around the country killing former Werewolf Divine Soldier Corps members. He can transform into a werewolf at night and into both human and beast form. He also appears to be extremely afraid of becoming a beast himself.
Pseudo-Divine Soldier Vampire
Kane Madhouse is an old friend of Elaine and Hank. His real name is Kane Reichard. His father was the president and loved Elaine. He is also the one who unleashed the pseudo-divine soldiers Elaine created into the wild. As a vampire, he can control the humans he drinks blood from. He has allies with the pseudo-divine soldiers in various places, and it seems he is plotting another war. The details are still unknown.
Pseudo-Divine Soldier Arachne
Her real name is Elizabeth Wither. She is one of the Pseudo-Divine Soldier soldiers who works with Kane, and her lower body is shaped like a spider. She can produce threads and create clothing, but her reasons for working with Kane are still unknown.
Pseudo-Divine Soldier Milia
Said to be Emilia's child, this Pseudo-Divine Soldier does not possess a Pseudo-Divine Soldier Core. He works with Kain and can control the dead, but nothing beyond that is a mystery. His father may be Hank.
Pseudo-Divine Soldier Spriggan
Spriggan is a pseudo-divine soldier who can freely enlarge his body. His real name is Daniel Price. A kind man, he thought of his impoverished village even during the war. After the war, he returned home and worked as a migrant worker, contributing money to the village. However, he was actually attacking carriages carrying cargo. During the war, he was able to freely transform his body, even to a maximum of three times his original size, making him an extremely versatile pseudo-divine soldier.
Minotaur, the Pseudo-Divine Soldier
A quasi-divine soldier with dexterity and incredible strength. His real name is Theodore Sherman. Hank taught him to be prepared, as he was extremely timid. After the war, the Minotaur, believing that someone would attack him, built a fortress and holed himself up inside. Unusually for a quasi-divine soldier, he was skilled in delicate work, making him extremely useful when building fortifications in the field.
Pseudo-Divine Soldier Behemoth
A giant, strengthened and regenerating pseudo-divine soldier. His real name is Arthur Alston. A silent man, he always followed orders. After the war, he continued to travel east, and ended up fighting Hank. His only reason for doing so was that he wanted to see the ocean. Behemoth's enormous size limited his swift movements, but during the war, his regenerating body allowed him to reliably carry out his missions.
Gargoyle: A Pseudo-Divine Soldier
A quasi-divine soldier with invisible wings who attacks enemies from high in the sky. His real name is Christopher Keynes. A man passionate about justice, he took pride in fighting for it. After the war, he returned to the town where he was born and raised, freed those tainted by sin, and pursued his own excessive sense of justice in the slums.
Pseudo-Divine Soldier Karkinos
Hank attended Kane's party. This was one of the pseudo-divine soldiers that devoured the merchants who had been profiting from Kane's business. While many other pseudo-divine soldiers appeared, this is the only one whose name is known. They were all killed by Hank, but it seems that even the legs of this crab-like pseudo-divine soldier were delicious.
Pseudo-Divine Soldier Nidhek
Nidhek, the immortal dragon, survives on weekends. He is Sharl's father, and his real name is John William Pancroft. Once killed by Hank, Nidhek has returned and is baring his fangs once again. He wasn't with Hank at the time, but was ultimately killed by Sharl. This pseudo-divine soldier possesses a strong physique and vitality, but he is also a voracious eater.
Siren, the Pseudo-Divine Soldier
Siren, a bird-fish who seduces sailors with her song. She lulls them into a sleep of death with her song. Her real name is Beatrice.

Sasquatch the Divine Soldier
A powerful demi-human who lurks deep in the mountains, this pseudo-divine soldier excels in stealth and survival in its habitat. He was working on civil engineering projects in the fortress built by Kane. No combat scenes have yet been depicted. This pseudo-divine soldier excels at stealth, and it is said that he occasionally leaves footprints in snow-covered mountainous regions. However, even his enormous footprints can instill fear in his enemies.

He fights Hank, but is ultimately killed by Alphard, a corrosive poisonous mist created from the corpse of the highly poisonous pseudo-divine soldier Hydra, sent to him by Kane's father, the President.
Pseudo-Divine Soldier Doppelganger
Pseudo-Divine Soldier creates countless replica soldiers. Originally, he created troops and used them to fight the enemy, but now he only creates monsters and kills people regardless of his will.
