Demon Gods
The 72 familiars of Solomon that became the components of the Beast Goetia.
The Demon Gods are the seventy-two Devil familiars of King Solomon, referred to as Demon God Pillars for their appearance. Each possesses a distinctive personality, yet they function as a hive-mind coalesced into Beast I, Goetia, which took over Solomon's body after his death. Their pillar forms share a similar shape resembling a structure with rings of eyes, and they are massive in scale, with a single eye many times the size of a human. The pillars are covered in a surface layer of human bodies, frozen with expressions of agony, pain, sadness, or anger.

Lore & Background
The Demon Gods are introduced as the legion of 72 Demon Gods that served Solomon. In the final battle of Chapter 1: Observer at the Timeless Temple, the protagonists Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash Kyrielight face Solomon and his legion of 72 Demon Gods. Both Ritsuka and Mash are unable to defeat any of the Demon Pillars as they regenerate immediately. When all hope seems lost, the Servants that assisted Ritsuka on their quest through every Singularity appear, allowing Chaldea to break through and defeat Goetia, the collective of the 72 Demon Gods that possessed Solomon's corpse and wishes to eradicate humanity in order to travel back to the dawn of humankind.
Reader's Guide
The Demon Gods appear as the 72 Demon Gods that served Solomon. In the final battle of Chapter 1: Observer at the Timeless Temple, they manifest as Demon Pillars that regenerate immediately when attacked. The only way to defeat them is with the assistance of the Servants that aided Ritsuka through every Singularity. After Goetia's defeat, the final Singularity is restored to order. Later, in Chapter 2: Cosmos in the Lostbelt, the Chaldean—whose true identity is Goetia using Romani's form as an atonement for his previous deeds—acknowledges Novum Chaldea and once again takes the identity of Grand Caster King Solomon, forming a temporary contract with Ritsuka to assist them for the final battle.
