The High Priest

==Summary==
The is a "bizarre magician", a magic god, who dwells in a territory beyond a certain layer of the world.
In the past, as a follower of the Japanese variety of Buddhism, the High Priest subjected himself to self-mummification, starving himself so his human form would transcend the six paths, becoming a Buddha in just one generation, in hopes of saving all people. However a faction opposed to him becoming a Buddha sabotaged his attempt and twisted as a result, he became a Magic God instead. At some point, he was somehow involved in the death of Aleister Crowley's daughter.

Speed: Unknown (Since their power is too big to be contained in the normal world, they can exclusively exist in a non-existent place lacking the usual concepts of distance and time, and entering the normal world would immediately destroy it returning them to a space of such a nature. As such speed isn't a meaningful concept to them. Instead whether or not something meets in this place is entirely regulated by destiny), at least Sub-Relativistic (If not for their special nature they would scale above the likes of Coronzon in speed) | At least Sub-Relativistic (Scales above Coronzon) | Sub-Relativistic (Should be comparable to other nerfed magic gods)

Weaknesses: He's very arrogant and looks down on everyone
Notable Attacks and Techniques:
*Phase Manipulation: Magic Gods wield a powerful version of reality warping, granting them almost absolute power. All possibilities are open to them, to the point that even omnipotence paradoxes can apply to them.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 8 Chapter 4 Part 14 Magic Gods can instantly destroy, manipulate, and recreate the world as they please.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 9 Chapter 5 Part 1Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 9 Chapter 5 Part 2 They can manipulate causality, change the natural laws and control dimensions, space, time, matter, energy and all other contents of the world as they please. As they can control the world in these ways they should be able to wrestle around the control of the things they can manipulate. They achieve this due to their ability to freely create, destroy, and manipulate the Phases that make up the world.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 9 Between the Connected Points
* Dirt Manipulation: The High Priest has developed a connection to dirt due to his self-mummification. This connection is linked to the Shinto aspect of dirt being unclean and connected to the underworld being mixed into the Japanese variety of Buddhism that the High Priest followed.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 13 Chapter 3 Part 13 The High Priest can use this connection with dirt to manipulate it in several ways, such as creating giants hands of mud, sensing and tracking people if they are in contact with the ground,Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 13 Chapter 3 Part 9 removing dirt from underground to cause city-wide collapses,Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 13 Chapter 4 Part 1Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 13 Chapter 4 Part 2 and even seize control of objects such as the Arrowhead Comet by manipulating the dirt mixed into them.Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 13 Chapter 4 Part 9
* Intersection of the Six Paths: Nephthys warned Touma that, as a special being that rose to the level of a Buddha in a single life when that normally takes being reborn into countless lives, the High Priest has left the proper path of destiny and skipped a level on his own. She further claimed he can freely manipulate the intersection of the Six Paths. From the High Priest's own words, Touma speculated that the High Priest might be able to change the value and rank of souls, or change precedence in a manner similar to Terra of The Left's Execution of Light, but the High Priest was defeated before he used this ability, with the only part of it displayed being a toxic black smoke he started to spew from his mouth.
* Zombie's Existence Layering Spell: A spell that allows a Magic God to walk in the world without destroying it, which works by infinitely dividing their power to deliberately weaken themselves. Even though this spell weakens a Magic God, it essentially makes them unkillable as their existences are eternally layered, preventing from truly getting killed unless all of the infinite layers of their existences are killed. This spell can only be used by Zombie, but it was used on the other magic gods before they all entered the world, giving them the same attributes.
