That is from MGE II, isn't it?

Well, it kinda makes sense... Poseidon seems to be very powerful, her power encompassing almost all the world, and the Zipangunese don't seem to be big on the worship of real deities (most of their gods are merely powerful Mamono...). So it makes sense they don't have a sea god of their own...

What I am curious is... who are the Four Gods, the Four Fiends and the Four Souls from the Mist Continent?

My theory is:

The Four Gods arethe Shishin, the four mythical beasts who protect China from each of the four directions of the compass. Since they are a Turtle (or turtle-serpent), a Tiger (or a Quilin, according to other versions), a Phoenix (of Feng bird) and a Chinese Dragon, they probably are powerful, ancient Mamono.

The Four Fiends are the Four Evils, mythical chinese monsters champions of Greed, Moral Confussion (as, inability to tell right from wrong), Discord and Wrath. They would be Mamono too, but fiercer and more predatory than the Four Gods. They all look like Chimeras.

The Four Souls would be the Shitenno, the buddhist Four Heavenly Kings., or maybe theFour Heavenly Ministers. They probably are very powerful monsterized high ranked Angels, or monsterized low ranked Gods. Or maybe they are god-like monsterized/incubized mortal Sages/Archmages...
