Deus

Deus is an antagonist in Xenogears. It is fought twice, once in Mahanon, and again in its core. It is referred to as a god by many of the Xenogears world's inhabitants. But in reality, it is a biological weapon created by humans in ancient times on another planet. Although it is the penultimate boss, because the boss after Deus is extremely easy, Deus is considered by many to be the final boss of the game.

Appearance and Personality
Deus has several forms. Its first form, known as "Omega 1", was seen on the display screen of the Eldridge in the opening scene. This is the form that the party fought in Mahanon. After being defeated in its first form, and its body was move to Merkava, Deus takes the form of a large dome with seven eyes. After Merkava rises from the earth, Deus begins terraforming to fuse with the planet. When confronted by the party inside its body, Deus is surrounded by four orbs, Metatron, Sundel, Marlute, and Harlute with the center being its true body which takes on an angelic appearance.

Due to being an artificial intelligence, Deus displayed little to no personality.

Story arc
Deus is first seen in the opening when it tries to take over the Eldridge over a nearby planet. The captain of the ship then orders everyone to evacuate the ship, only for Deus to hack into weaponry to destroy all the escape shuttles, forcing the captain to sacrifice himself to detonate the ship in a last ditch effort to destroy Deus. The explosion sends the debris of the Eldridge and Deus crashing into the planet, but not before Kadomony activated System Hawwa, creating the first Miang for Deus's eventual resurrection.

9999 years later, after the Gazel Ministry uses the Gaetia Key to turn a majority of the planet's inhabitants into Wels for replacement part for Deus, Mahanon rises up from the ocean in order to retrieve its body and revive it. After convincing Elly to stay behind, Fei and the party ventures into Mahanon where they were confronted by the nuclei of Deus. After defeating it, the creature disintegrates, allowing the party to venture further into Mahanon in which they discover Razael's Tree giant computer containing considerable information about Deus and the Eldridge. Just as they were about collect data on the, Grahf and the Solarian forces ambush the party with Grahf defeating the party with ease. Krelian orders Grahf to spare the party and orders his forces to be crucify the party at Golgoda to lure Elly.
