Summary:
Asura is one of the Eight Guardian Generals, techno-divine beings engaged in an eternal war with the Gohma and their creator, Vlitra, the hostile spirit of their planet, Gaea, where humans reside and offer worship, thereby empowering them and their Karma Fortress with an energy known as "Mantra". Vlitra is temporarily driven back, but the Guardian General's leader, Deus, is concerned about its return. Seeking greater power to fight the Gohma and achieve true immortality, the seven Guardian Generals, including Asura's brother-in-law Yasha, plan to use Asura's priestess daughter Mithra's ability to amplify vast quantities of Mantra. To ensure no interference with their plans, they kill Asura's wife Durga, frame Asura for the death of their emperor, before Deus kills Asura when he tries to rescue Mithra. Encouraged by a Golden Spider, Asura escapes into the living world after 12,000 years, finding the Guardian Generals have now dubbed themselves the Seven Deities and slaughter humans to gather Mantra quickly. Swearing revenge on the Seven Deities, Asura goes after and kills each of them, using his rage to overcome death multiple times.
