Summary
The King, also known as the Jade Emperor (Okhwang in Korean), is the main antagonist of The God of High School from chapter 3 onwards, and is the leader of Nox, a mysterious organization that enforces the cosmic hierarchy. He is an ancient deity that has existed for ages and rules the Heavenly Realm but descended into the mortal realm to monitor the collection of life energy from humans, which the gods use to extend their already considerable lifespans. However, his current body is deteriorating quickly and has been investing much of his time and power into creating the ideal successor (Dante).

Stamina: Superhuman, although weakened in his old age, he is still able to keep up with other gods like Mori Jin in combat for extended periods of time, but doing so strains his health

- Blade of Tathagata: A mystical katana that the King can summon out of thin air. By simply unsheathing the Blade, the King was able to slice the Earth from where he stood in Seoul to the Seogwipo Island. This sword is sharp enough to cleanly cleave through the Yongpyo and allowed The King to defeat the Monkey King and his army of twelve billion demons in a single battle.
Intelligence: The King, having lived for countless years, is immensely powerful and skilled combatant, managing to defeat the likes of the Monkey King, King Uma, and the Nine-Tailed Guardian in quick succession despite his old age. He is a master of hand-to-hand combatant and is an incredibly skilled swordsman, maintaining a surprising amount of agility despite his old age and clashing furiously with Mori Jin in melee combat. He is also a master manipulator, having orchestrated the events of the series for centuries and managing to sway Mori Hui, Mori Jin's clone to his side until the death of Daewi Han.
