'God' isn't a position for life, and the current God's term in office is almost up. Switching things up, he decides to chose the next God through a series of battle games and tournaments. The tournament isn't actually fought between the God Candidates, but between junior high school students chosen by the various 'God Candidates' and granted a special power and talents called 'zai.' The winning student gets a blank 'zai' as a reward, to write in whatever ability or talent they want, while their God Candidate becomes the next God.
