Character[]
A rare necromancer man called the "Temple of the Dead". Originally a sub-eyed person, he is the fourth seat of the now-defunct empire's court magician. He is a rare child with sub-eyes and is sold to his parents for money and raised as an imperial ghost messenger under Easelies Soldfrail. After that, he continued to work until the country was destroyed, but eventually, Shinoyama Polka himself became a ghost, and after the country was destroyed, he began to wander for peace.

After that, he made a deal with Lisa, rented a torture building, and with Misaki Sakimiya and Takumi Kuriya as friends, he struggled to find a peaceful life in Japan.

Rizdilusia Redrazalf's Theme Ost: ─ Dead Mount Death Play: Corpse God |
"Human life...is somebody's toy, when all's said and done. But...I like toys...because they make children smile. So I've decided to treat them as precious things. And I'll never give them over...to some absurd fate."
― Corpse God to Takumi Kuruya
Abilities[]
"Here, I may be able to obtain... A peaceful life. You're right. The time for playing tag is over. I'm through with running. From now on, we'll play at being the grim reaper ─ a game of killing."
― Corpse God to Misaki
The soul of a dead human produces energy from regret and hatred and uses it to stay in this world. It takes a certain amount of energy for the spirit to stay in this world, and by exterminating it with necromancy, it is possible to exorcise the spirit and at the same time convert that energy into magical power. When the dead spirit continues to have regrets and stays in this world, it gradually loses its sanity and becomes a demon. Shinoyama Polka is gaining power by pursuing evil spirits that cannot be understood. Also, if the spirit has a reason, it can be used by contracting, and if it is the contracted soul, it can be transferred to another vessel. Due to its nature, it is a magical technique that has a high degree of sub-eye holding, and because it is rare, there are few people who can handle the technique. A person with high suitability can synchronize the spirit and soul to see and feel the scenery in the distance, but high suitability is a double-edged sword that erodes one's soul by the ghost. Is regarded as dangerous. However, Easelies Soldfrail dared to extend the high suitability of the corpse temple and raised him to become a ghost messenger specializing in ghost entrainment. In a different world, there were many restrictions on necromancy because it was hindered by the demons that existed in the atmosphere, but since there are few demons on Earth, Polka took advantage of that environment and overflowed with necromancy and another world. He is creating a new necromancy "group of invisible hands" using the flow.
- Negative Energy Corpse god can able to replenish his magic through the negative energy of the souls who seek vengeance. "Staying energy" that comes with grudges, lingering attachments, and emotions can be converted into magic.
- Spirit Channeling [Mediumship] - Corpse God can hear and see/view ghosts/spirits of the deceased and even communicate and/or interact with them, even if they have possessed inanimate objects/subjects/people. They are able to repel and run spirits away from an area, compel them to employ an armada of ghosts, and may even view a visual conception of a spirit world in a trance if desired. Well-trained mediums are even capable of channeling the energy and powers of spirits making them potential hosts/conduits for channeling their powers through their bodies and manifesting their qualities on their own. Corpse God can manipulate Soul, for example, the soul of Polka transfers his soul to possess the drone, and further in the series Corpse god transfer again the soul of Polka into Shark toys plushy.
- Corpse God said there is a necromancy method where he uses a soul to possess the spirit of his victim and is able to cut a piece of the target's memory. As part of the soul of a person is the memories. Corpse God can manipulate or alter the memories of certain target.
- Corpse God is Able to punish, torture, and rip the spirit undeniably rough level. Corpse God can see through memories of the target soul that he gave a punishment.

- Body Modification - The corpse god can modify certain bodies or replace a new form of body parts.
- Sanctuary - a Field magic black root that stretches further the user's will, this spell gives a piece of information, presence, and vision to any places that expand of the black root.
- As said of Master that teaches of Corpse god; by calling forth the air of "the other side" and stirring it into your won surroundings or closed-off space. You can recreate, to some degree, that invisible yet still tangible "presence" even those who don't possess the evil eye will still be able to perceive it through their other senses. And if you devote enough time to the ritual, it can also be used in place of a magic spell to confuse others' orientation and vision.
- Sympathizing with the spirit of the dead - means sharing your senses with the dead you can use crystal balls like this to experience for yourself the sense of spirit that is far away. As the master of that Corpse god's knowledge, the power of sympathizing with the spirit of the dead can become a formable weapon for sight, smell, hearing, taste, and the sense of touch. You should eventually be able to share all of your senses with the spirit of the dead. However, the actual application of the technique can be difficult within the confines of the barrier, it can drain the magical essence of the area to its absolute limit. But under normal conditions, it is blocked by the surrounding's magical essence and accomplishes little.
- In the world he came from, the Corpse God would share his sense of touch with the hands of spirit impeded though they were by an atmosphere rich with magical essence. but since Corpse God came to the new world where magical essence is so diluted, he can now do totally and without limit. by devising the Spirit of the dead thread, which gives the spirit hands the ability to interact with physical things. He created a loophole that allows him to use the earth's own environment against itself without expanding too much magic. Eventually, his swarm of invisible hands was complete.
- Conjuration - The user can bring forth any form of creatures, items, spirits, demons, deities, and/or elements by either summoning, creating, or manifesting them in any particular way to do the bidding of the conjurer.

- A group of Invisible Hands (見えざる手の群 [みえざるてのむれ], Miezaru no Mure) - Necromancy was newly created by Shinoyama Polka on the earth. In a different world, the demons that are abundant in the atmosphere disturb the senses, making them difficult to put into practical use. The "dead spirit's hand" that shares the tactile sensation through the dead spirit's entrainment is woven with the "dead spirit's thread" that enables physical interference, and the invisible hand can be remotely controlled. The effective range is in the torture building surrounded by the overflow of another world, and since it is possible to investigate multiple times at the same time, it is a "group of invisible hands" as the name implies. It was used by Polka to support Koyu during the three-way battle between Tengu, Lemmings, and Raikoyu. Originally it is invisible, but it becomes visible because it is covered with the tapioca milk tea-flavored smoke screen that Yukigurumamura made playfully, and the powder contained in the smoke screen adheres to it. Not only the snow car villages but also an unspecified number of people witnessed such a situation, and the invisible hand group attracted attention as a mystery of Shinjuku.

His tactics are unknown, and suddenly a statement of crime appears in a place without any fire, burning the subject.
