GAIA'S PROPHECY
"On the appointed day, He shall come like a thief in the night, so be wary at all times.
5.67 billion years after the gods leave you, there shall come the time of the Great Tribulation, but fear not. Once you have laid the three signs in place, the savior shall descend upon the Earth.
ALMIGHTY GOD MAITREYA
The almighty god shall lead his legions of demons to this Earth.
An undying flame shall purify all evil and vanquish the wicked for a thousand days and nights.
The Heavens shall become the Earth and the Earth shall become the Heavens, and when the new era dawns...
PROPHET
...A prophet shall come to you and prepare you for the path of the Almighty One.
He shall offer himself as a sacrifice to the Almighty God for the sake of our sins and achieve a true union between mankind and the gods.
Beating his crimson wings, he shall bring a new son of man, a new wind with him and reach a perfect balance among gods, mankind and demons."
- chapter 425
This prophecy was recorded in the NOX Bible and was Gaia's final statement before being killed by the gods who had invaded Earth.
Gaia's Prophecy is the central theme in The God of High School.
Almighty God Maitreya
Maitreya (마이트레야) is the Almighty God prophesied by Gaia. As the title suggests, Maitreya is a higher dimensional being and an all-powerful god that rules over all of creation.
It was Tathagata and Park Mujin's goal to forcefully fit into Gaia's Prophecy and become the Almighty God Maitreya in order to rule over everything, but they were both heavily compelled to prostrate and pray to him upon seeing the True Maitreya.
It was initially thought that Park Mujin was Maitreya, but this was gradually disproved when he was rejected by Gaia and when Subhuti revealed his prediction that Jin Mori is the True Almighty God, which was later confirmed to be true.
As the Supreme God Maitreya, Mori is an existence that carries the weight of all of creation and holds it together. He can manipulate causality, laws, life, time and fate, warp reality, erase existences, nullify powers, purify the wicked and he is aware of everything in the universe.

The Great Tribulation
It was one of the events that Gaia foretold and is also referred to as Ragnarok. Since chapter 1 of the narrative, Park Mujin has owned a mural that depicts The Great Tribulation. Such murals are also present within NOX bases and during the Mass Cult Suicide in 19XX.
The universe would submit to its only ruler, the All-Powerful God of the Universe, after the great battle between humans, gods and demons, according to Odin. [4]
The Prophets
Also known as Gaia's Descendants, the prophets are humans chosen by Gaia to inherit her blood. They are known for granting great power and immortality to those who eat one alive. They have the ability to transfer their power like Generation X humans.
To fulfill the prophecy, it's enough for the Prophet to acknowledge you, contrary to the NOX Bible's assertion of having to offer themselves as a sacrifice in a literal sense.
The prophet Park Taejin acknowledged Mori by resurrecting him and everyone who was massacred during Mujin's 'cleansing' and giving him their strength temporarily. [6]
Generation X humans are considered Prophets with minor differences. [1][2]
While Sang Mandeok is counted as a Prophet in the story, he is a fake one who only received Sang Mansuk's power through the Power Transfer ability.
They were shown to be able to directly interfere with Gaia, delaying her transfer to the New World. [3]

The Three Signs
"Three signs shall be given unto you to herald the savior's coming."
"The first sign... they shall be engraved with the mark of the beast."
The first sign was reffering to the new human technology, Project Wi-Fi, used to gather and distribute power. [5]
"The second sign... the new son of man shall be born."
The second sign alluded to Generation X humans who were free of the Taboo. They transferred all of the power to Mori using their power transfer ability. [5]
"The third and final sign... a rain of blood shall descend from the heavens."
The third and final sign referenced every human, demon and god, alive or dead, lending both their individual power and their borrowed powers and taking form into Mori's own borrowed power, Nirvana. [5]
"Borrowed Power. Supernatural Power that humans borrow from the gods. For the first time and last time, humans lent a god their power."
