History
The Seven Days of Fire was an event that occurred on a future Earth and was the name that was referred to a cataclysm that was caused by the excessive industrialization of the planet. By that time, humanity was ruled by a civilization that was known as the Ancients. This utterly destroyed the environment after a millennia which caused a complete change in the environment with the formation of the Sea of Corruption. A key factor that led to the widespread devastation of the planet were bio-mechanical giants created by mankind called the God Warriors.
Overview
Prior to this time, Humanity had created the God Warriors (巨神兵, kyoshinhei, lit: Giant God Warrior) that were giant biomechanical beings considered largely responsible for the Seven Days of Fire. Physically, they are massive biomechanical humanoid creatures as tall as skyscrapers. The God Warriors have brownish flesh, glowing green eyes and sharp, long golden spikes in their upper bodies. The six smaller spikes in their backs are able to shapeshift into wings of light, while their energy beam is shown to come out from a cannon inside their mouths, which is deployed by their upper teeth lifting and moving upwards. They also have seven glowing spots in the front side of their bodies, with two of them between the eyes and five more in a line from the chest to the groin. God Warriors are shown with more abilities, including flight, speech, and intelligence. The God Warriors have the ability to fly by 'twisting space', shapeshifting the spikes in their backs into glowing wings. They have both the large beam shown in the movie as well as smaller beams that can be fired from the two glowing spots on their forehead. These abilities are fuelled by nuclear energy, and contact with them is known to cause radiation poisoning, which suggests that the Seven Days of Fire may have been at least partially a nuclear holocaust. The radiation emitted by the God Warriors as 'poisonous light'. The God Warriors are also able to form long glowing staves with their power. The interior of at least one dead God Warrior appears to have an operator's seat, with controls and gun mount as well as interior doors
