What is the Illuminati?

With Lucifer as their Commander-in-Chief, they set out to restore the world

The Illuminati is a powerful organization that seeks to revive the Demon God, Satan. The King of Light, Lucifer, is the leader of the Illuminati and the driving force behind Satan's revival. Although the Illuminati intend to revive Satan, that is not their only goal.

In the first step, the Illuminati declared war on the True Cross Order of Knights. A year after their first public announcement, the Illuminati plans to resurrect Satan. The reason the Illuminati want to revive Satan is to unite Assiah and Gehenna. In Blue Exorcist, the world of humans is called Assiah, and the world of demons is called Gehenna.

Demons can enter Assiah or the human world by possessing them. But the demon must be compatible with its host. The stronger the demon, the higher the contract required. The Illuminati, or Lucifer, wants to return to the primordial realm where light and darkness were born. By doing this, everyone will be equal and free from suffering, and the world will be peaceful.

We have to reinvent everything. But that is the Illuminati mission.

As mentioned earlier, the Illuminati is a powerful organization. Before the Illuminati announced themselves as the True Cross Order of Knights, they were known as the Bright Future Foundation. This Foundation will recruit members from powerful families to join the Illuminati with the Foundation as its head.

In preparation for Satan's awakening, the Illuminati, under the auspices of the Foundation, established the Far East Laboratory, which was held in Inari. This house tempts people to visit Foxes' Alley, a tourist attraction with restaurants and other food vendors. However, those who have indulged in the food here will become addicted and will therefore live in Peace Town Inari, a building designed to house those who have tried.

The purpose of these experiments was to create an elixir of immortality. The first attempt at this elixir was to preserve Lucifer's decaying body, and the second was to create a body that could survive Satan's possessions.

Where is the headquarters of the Illuminati?

On a large plane, the Illuminati can avoid detection

The headquarters of the Illuminati is the Dominus Liminis, a magically shaped spaceship that is useless for all its scientific research. In aviation, the illuminati focuses primarily on the development of scientifically and technologically advanced weapons and weapons.

The spaceship also has Lucifer's perfect clone, which is a perfect body that Lucifer can reverse and replace if damaged. Lucifer's search for his perfect human body began during his time in Episode 13. Meanwhile, Lucifer and many of his siblings, the eight Demon Kings, sought human bodies in Asia to challenge their possessions—however, they sought their possessions even more. the stronger the demon, the more difficult it is to find his perfect body. This is also why Satan did not have anyone for a long time when he tried to enter Asia.

Did the Illuminati achieve this goal?

The Illuminati have resurrected Satan but have not yet created the world

In Chapter 110, Lucifer reveals to Yukio that the Illuminati has managed to create his perfect clones, which he can easily do if his body deteriorates. However, these clones are just substitutes and quick fixes for elixir. As stated above, the goal of the Illuminati is to resurrect Satan and unite Asia and Gehenna. In order to revive Satan, he needed a perfect body to possess and the elixir to act as an immortal serum.

The Illuminati continued their search for the elixir, experimenting with Dominus Liminis. They completed their research and created the finished elixir during their final experiment. The process of creating Satan's ideal body has been completed in the underground laboratory of the Illuminati, the KRC Laboratory in Romania.

The last step is the last attempt to create the elixir, which was done in Dominus Liminis. To complete the experiment, the Illuminati need three demon eaters called the Chosen Ones. These demon eaters, who hosted Ouroboros, Phoenix, and Hydra, were placed in a furnace that would separate the demons from the Chosen and turn them into carbon. Therefore, Lucifer creates a blob of ice from the finished elixir, and thus Satan is revived in Chapter 129.

What does the Illuminati have to do with episode 13?

Episode 13 gives Lucifer the will to continue the cloning experiment

The perfect body production for the Eight Demon Kings began in Chapter 13. Section 13 is a restricted area with the Sanctuary of the True Cross Academy under the True Cross Order of Knights. It was originally built to prolong Lucifer's life, as no human body could withstand such a powerful demon's practices.

The eight demon king clones produced by Asylum to find their perfect match. They used DNA from Samuel, or Mephisto Pheles and Azazel, to create clones. At that time, Lucifer was about to die, because the body he had was rapidly deteriorating. As an extreme measure, Lucifer is about to destroy the world, and so everyone will return to the same world without suffering.

To prevent this from happening, Mephisto Pheles devised a plan to create a clone and take away Lucifer's pain. That's how he created the 13th section, with the asylum as its head. However, creating clones was not enough to ease Lucifer's pain, which is why he had to find an elixir as well.
