I did not deny that I am above the Maou class, but Euclid was also above the Maou class in the Booster Gear Replica, and Issei at that moment in the base was around the ultimate class, which proves that the comparison strictly on the aura is useless. Comparisons are made strictly by measuring the quantities of aura without taking into account other variables (weapons, abilities). And the power of the CxC man has increased since he obtained the form AxA, and as time passes Issei becomes stronger, his soul becomes more and more the soul of a dragon god.
