Explanation of La Persona Superiore a Dio

La Persona Superiore a Dio is Italian for The One Above God and is one of the highest reachable statuses on the Magic Side. The ultimate goal of God's Right Seat is to achieve this state by diluting their Original Sin as much as possible and increasing their quality as humans. The purging of Original Sin allows one to use the normally restricted spells regarding God and the angels. The group aims to sit on the Right Seat of God as sitting to the right of someone in Christian symbolism is to hold an equivalent status. However, this is only a stepping stone in achieving the existence of La Persona Superiore a Dio, a being that appears like an angel but is not and surpasses even that of the one and only God. Only Fiamma of the Right has the power to reach this status because he possesses The Holy Right and represents the Archangel who currently occupies the Right Seat of God. When Fiamma reaches La Persona Superiore a Dio, he becomes the core of a legend and gains the ability to reproduce all the miracles of Christianity as opposed to the ones just designated to the right hand. Aleister Crowley states Fiamma succeeded in achieving the status of The One Above God. However, he limited himself by reaching this state within the scope of the past Aeon of Osiris, that is laws of the world solely under the rule of Christianity. If he had formatted his plan with the current Aeon of Horus, Fiamma could have reached an existence similar to the position Aleister currently holds. Aleister being one who created his own supernatural scientific system, artificially interfered with fundamental mechanisms set in place by God and reached a domain that defies the concept of words and counting to the point it is completely omitted by the Sephirot, a system meant to detail the hierarchy of the spiritual world.

Lidvia was bound to her seat, but she spoke as calmly as if she was in complete control. “But because they have incompletely eliminated their sin, they can carry out spells of a level surpassing what normal people can. It is said that they can even use the normally unusable spells that deal with the angels and the Lord.” “...Well, I suppose eliminating original sin really is the final goal of humanity. And if you could manage it, your ‘quality’ as a human would approach that of an angel. But...” “Yes. ‘Sin’ in this case also means the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. If you lose that, you also lose the ability to be a normal magician and use the magic that is for humans to use.” Stiyl exhaled slightly. The elimination of original sin. It wasn’t too hard to imagine that the depths of the Roman Catholic Church would be holding a bomb like that. Having one’s original sin eliminated via faith in the Christian Church and being led to the Holy Kingdom made by God after going through the Final Judgment was treated as true happiness. It was just like the Roman Catholic Church to be constantly researching a secret ceremony that would eliminate original sin. After thinking through all that, Stiyl asked Lidvia a question. “So the final goal of God’s Right Seat is to completely eliminate the remaining sin from their bodies?” If they succeeded in that, God’s Right Seat would truly be able to freely use the spells of the angels. And once they could do that it was possible that not even a Saint would be able to stop them. “Hee hee.” “That’s not it?” “No. Eliminating their sin is just a means to an end for God’s Right Seat. Their final goal is something else entirely.” “...Eliminating original sin is quite a feat. And that’s merely a means to an end?” (Then what could their true goal be?) Lidvia suppressed laughter and continued speaking. “They have been announcing their goal loudly from the very beginning.” “What?” “God’s Right Seat. That is what they are after.”

“Humans cannot become gods,” Lidvia continued instead of directly answering his question. “There are plenty of hypotheses about such a spell existing, but I have never heard of such a thing being accomplished. However, for a step lower – that is angels – alchemists and some scholars have reported examples of such an evolution. ...Of course, those examples are extremely rare.” “In other words,” Lidvia informed them, “they want a method to become angels on top of eliminating the original sin that humans are bound by. And they do not want to become a normal angel. They are modeling it off of the one who appears on the earth in the form of an angel who is not an angel. Namely, God.” That was the arrogant will that not only wanted to use the power of God, but to take that power as its own. Not to mention that there was no evidence that God actually did descend mixed among the angels. Stiyl bent his lips in a smile. “...That’s quite the heretical sect.” “Currently, they are aiming for Michael, the being with the highest-level power who was created to oppose Lucifer.” Lidvia’s voice was uniform. “Lucifer is the only being that has ever been allowed to sit to the right side of God. And Michael, who defeated Lucifer and became the ruler of all the angels, is a higher being than Lucifer, who was once his equal. Or so God’s Right Seat believes.” The right side. In the Christian Church, that position indicated equivalency. The first Christian martyr, Stephen, used the word “right” when honoring god to indicate that the Son of God was an equivalent existence to God. He used the word “right” in that way because, according to the concept of the trinity, God, and the Son of God were honored as equal. But what about an angel? Why was Lucifer able to sit to the right side of God? And did Michael really have such enormous power that he could defeat an archangel that sat to the right side of God? Since God was a unique being and was the greatest being in the world, there should be no one sitting in that “equivalent” right seat. Not to mention that it was hard to think that God would give that seat to one of the angels he had created as a tool and a servant. They must have been thinking that there was some special meaning in the fact that an angel, a lower being, was given that seat even so. “The group was created with the goal of sitting in God’s Right Seat. And they believe that once they are in the Right Seat they will be able to use that power to evolve into an existence different again from an angel.” The name of that existence was... “La persona superiore a Dio.” Both Stiyl and Agnese frowned upon hearing those words. In other words... “The One Above God. That is what I hear it is called.”

“The right hand which creates all miracles will destroy all evil. The power of the right sent the lord of devils into Hell and ensured there he would be bound for one-thousand years. If I can completely master the Holy Right... are you not curious as to what is inside it?” (Don’t tell me...) If he was referring to what was in the report, the pope had read it before. The undefined, abnormal power a certain boy from Academy City possessed. The right hand that would destroy all miracles it touched. Imagine Breaker. “If it’s me, it can be mastered.” Fiamma laughed and moved his right hand horizontal to himself. As if responding to his command, the third arm splitting the air moved as well, mimicking Fiamma’s actions. “Similar to Michael, it can be mastered. Preparations are needed, however.”
(Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 16, pg 195)

“The world environment has been prepared using the Star of Bethlehem and the right hand to act as a medium has been severed. The power that resides within me cannot show off 100% of its power except by way of your right hand. Imagine Breaker must be a type of purification tool the holy right hand naturally possesses, but to me it is no more than a mouse eating away at food stores. However, taking that unneeded ability into my power as one of the original pieces ends its role. ...With this, my right hand is complete. If I wield the power that should originally have been within me at its full output, the salvation of all will be complete. After all, my arm possesses the power to save the entire world. People may refer to that as being The One Above God, but... I do not particularly care about that. I do not intend to match or exceed him. I only intend to gather all the power I have now and to save the world with it.”
(Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 22, pg 47)

Even then, Aleister Crowley still existed in the center of Academy City. But at the same time, Aleister Crowley existed before Fiamma. Multiple versions of him such as a clone did not exist. It was just that the single one of him existed in multiple locations. It was a phenomenon that destroyed the basic concept of counting, but that was just what the domain at the top was like. The Sephirot used various words and numbers to create an explanation of the spiritual world, but organizations above a certain level could not be explained using words, so they were intentionally omitted. Did someone who entered that domain reach one of those upper organizations or did reaching one of those upper organizations cause one’s domain to transform into that domain? At any rate, Crowley was in a different dimension. He was in a higher place than Fiamma who had declared he held the power needed to save all of humanity while he was still an existence that could be counted with that world’s numbers. “...Why?” Fiamma muttered. “I could not do it. I should have had the power needed to save this world just like the Son of God. And yet I could not do it.” “It was not an issue of the type or amount of power. It was nothing more than an issue of how you used it,” Aleister Crowley said in disinterested voice. “My theory is that the age of Christian spells came to an end upon the completion of the Book of the Law. I actually think you did quite well. And that includes your objective of becoming The One Above God. If instead of the Aeon of Osiris...that is, the laws under the control of solely the Christian Church, you had formatted it in the Aeon of Horus that lies beyond it, you may have had your eye on a position similar to mine.” He was the one who created supernatural powers with science. He was the one who constructed an angel by gathering those powers. Fiamma of the Right, the one who ruled over Michael, understood what that meant. Creating an angel was not the same thing as simply creating a new type of living creature. They were the symbols of the elements that made up the world. For a human to create one of those, it meant that the system at the base of that world was being artificially interfered with. Gears created by human hands were being inserted into the mechanisms created by god. It was like remaking a music box into a time bomb.

“Simply put, God’s Right Seat is a group that tried to gain power on the same level as or an even higher level than the one and only God. Basically, in the Christian Church, you are stuck with your original sin until you die and undergo the final judgment, but there are precedents of exceptions, such as the Virgin Mary, where people had their original sin washed away while they were still alive. Achieving that by artificial means is the easy-to-understand goal of modern Western magic.”
