Hakaishin

The Hakaishin (破壊神, "Destruction God") are the antithesis to the Sōzōshin, deity-like beings that were supposedly born from the tainted hands of Izanagi after attempting to rid himself of the corruption after escaping Hell, bringing forth a new race of beings that were born purely of the darkness; or so the legend foretells. Similar to the Quincy, they are said to possess the power to destroy the souls they kill, eradicating them from existence, thus having the potential to disrupt the balance between the worlds.
