Magical Index: Become a Girl and Come to Academy City

"God's Right Seat" is a group dedicated to overcoming original sin.

Lidvia Lorenzoti's voice echoed in the small interrogation room of the Execution Tower.

In Genesis 2:17, the existence of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is mentioned. As long as one eats the fruit from this tree, one can gain enlightenment and wisdom.

But God did not allow Adam to eat the fruit from the tree. However, the snake tempted Eve, and the two of them ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Their eyes became clear and they gained mind.

This led to Adam's original sin.

Originally, angels are spiritual beings, God is a combination of spirit and flesh, and Adam is also a combination of spirit and flesh, so Adam is closer to God in nature.

But with the admixture of original sin, humans are inferior to angels.

Sometimes you may wonder why gaining wisdom brings you something like original sin, but this is not just because of the existence of shame, but because wisdom gives humans a mind.

As a result, humans have become special on Earth. They weigh the pros and cons before doing anything, think about what is good and what is evil, and do not act solely on biological instinct.

You should know that the tree from which the fruit of wisdom can be obtained is called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It is the thing that allows humans to have good and evil, and a prerequisite for the existence of good and evil is wisdom.

Humans are creatures that will choose to fight even when non-material resources are scarce, for various reasons, such as jealousy or ideological differences.

In other words, wisdom distinguishes between good and evil and makes good and evil exist. Original sin is not completely evil, but a nature that is a combination of good and evil.

It may not be clear if I put it this way, but it is easier to understand if I put it in modern scientific terms.

Original sin is actually the difference and choice caused by the judgment of a thing or situation. While having good intentions, it will affect bad consequences. Making a choice will lead to the coexistence of good and evil.

That is, the birth of a weapon will lead to the death of some people, but will end the war faster. Then the weapon is evil for the people who die, but good for ending the war.

Just like glory and success are positive, but they are also linked to money and fame, so we will unconsciously get closer to them in the pursuit.

Emotionally, it is like a mother favoring her own child, which is a good thing, but if she favors her child when he or she makes a mistake, it will cause unfairness and harm to others.

From a rational perspective, if your loved ones make a mistake, but you treat them like a stranger, although it would be a fair choice, it is easy to breed evil thoughts such as dissatisfaction and resistance in the hearts of your loved ones.

In most cases, when a conflict arises, people will choose an option that prioritizes good over evil, that is, based on commonly recognized moral and ethical judgments.

Differences in human analysis and judgment of contradictions lead to the division between good and evil, and even the slightest deviation in such judgment will lead to bad consequences.

Just like some tragedies in human history, they are not all caused by evil thoughts, but rather by good intentions.

In order to make the people of the world happy, a race is massacred. The motivation is goodwill, but the result is pure evil.

If there were no original sin, there would be no distinction between good and evil, or in other words, the concept of good and evil would not exist in the world.

In this way, human beings would not have a series of beautiful qualities such as courage, love, and compassion, nor would they have evil thoughts such as greed, jealousy, and selfishness.

God wanted to end evil by making it not exist in the first place, but the serpent and Eve thought differently. They believed that good, evil and wisdom should exist, so the serpent chose temptation and Eve chose to agree.

This gives rise to contradictions, and the existence of the so-called original sin, which is to recognize contradictions, distinguish between good and evil, make value judgments, and choose differences.

There are less than twenty saints with special physiques in the world, and there was one in the East thousands of years ago who tried to constrain the difference between good and evil by using a set of codes of conduct as moral standards, so as to achieve the effect of retaining the judgment of good and evil and wisdom while eliminating the negative impact of original sin.

Afterwards, the East and the West were divided into two approaches to combating sin.

One is that in the Eastern world, good and evil are restrained through balance, in order to achieve a balance between good and evil, black and white to weaken this influence, and to find an optimal reference point between sensibility and rationality, desire and restraint, thereby resonating oneself with the entire world and even the universe, thus giving rise to the Eastern magic system.

In the West, there has been an example of eliminating original sin. For example, the Virgin Mary, who gave birth to the Son of God, restored her nature to the human state before eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil the moment she came into contact with the Holy Spirit.

Based on this principle, an organization called "God's Right Seat" emerged within the Roman Orthodox Church, with a total of four members.

They are the Wind of Front, who had previously invaded Academy City and could use the Angel's Sky Punishment Technique.

Based on the principle of the crucifixion of the Son of God, the left side holds the "Execution of Light" that adjusts the priority of all things.

The "Divine Right" within him holds the power to save the world, and is about to become the Right Fire of the modern Son of God.

There is also the water behind, who is both a saint and the "right seat of God."

They gradually eliminate their original sin by contacting the Holy Spirit, becoming physically closer to angels and thus able to use angelic spells, but at the same time they cannot use the magic used by ordinary humans.

It's just that there is only a little bit of original sin left in their bodies, and it has not been completely eliminated, so Qianfeng Zhifeng will still make the value choice of revenge against science for his brother.

The "Right Seat of God" was originally established as an organization to serve as an advisor to successive Roman Popes. It provides silent advice to the Pope and possesses knowledge and power that even the Pope must sometimes rely on. It is a special existence separate from the clergy hierarchy.

But at some point, the Right Seat of God became the center of Roman Orthodoxy.

The four people correspond to the four archangels respectively, but the ultimate goal of the organization is to obtain power above the angels by eliminating original sin. Eliminating original sin is only a means to the ultimate goal.

The ultimate goal is exactly what the name of their organization means, like the Son of God, that is, to be on the right side of God and become the "God above" to directly teach the people.

After a while, Lidoviya finally finished introducing all the information. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then gently drew a cross with her right hand, touching her forehead, chest, and then her left and right shoulders in turn.

After completing these actions, a hint of solemnity appeared on her face.

"Got it." Stiyl responded simply, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something important.

Janice, standing by, quickly wrote down every word Lidoviya said on the parchment, the tip of the pen making a rustling sound as it moved across the paper.

After telling her everything, Lidoviya had a calm expression, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with her. She slowly turned her head and looked out the window, a hint of worry and confusion in her eyes.

"The war between Academy City and God's Right Seat? I wonder if you'll be okay..." she muttered to herself.
