The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

The "Faith Enlightenment" miracle fragment contains a lot of theoretical knowledge about the power of faith and faith magic, and it also teaches angels how to prepare for learning faith magic.

This knowledge was completely foreign to Moran; he had never seen it anywhere else before.

Regarding the origin of faith magic, she guessed one thing correctly: the angels did not initially possess faith magic.

Holy Light magic is the magic that is naturally present in the blood of angels.

For a long time, the angel race was known for its holy light magic and aerial combat abilities. At that time, the angel race was not a powerful race in their original world.

Their racial strength was roughly equivalent to that of the current Elf race.

The winged race of the Sacred Mountains can be said to be the original form of angels.

Later, an angel discovered that after intelligent beings became extinct, the supreme being who controlled the laws, the world consciousness, would also perish.

After several experiments, it was discovered that when all intelligent beings in a world lose consciousness, the world's consciousness will gradually disappear.

In addition, the angelic power contained in their blood is a combination of consciousness power and light elemental power.

The angels naturally had an idea: if they could grasp the consciousness of all intelligent beings in the world, wouldn't they be able to possess the authority over the world's consciousness and become gods of that world?

With this goal in mind, the angels began to devise various ways to acquire the consciousness power of intelligent beings. At this time, they discovered that when intelligent beings worshipped and appreciated them from the bottom of their hearts, they would gain a brand new energy. This energy could replace their own consciousness power, merge into the power of the angels, and release even more powerful holy light magic.

The angels called this energy "the power of faith" and used it to develop a series of magic spells, also known as faith magic.

Through their faith and magic, the angels gained abilities beyond their own potential. The path to godhood through faith became a steadfast and powerful path for all angels.

However, the angels later discovered that the more faith power they accumulated, the more easily they could be influenced by the will of the believers.

When too many different voices resonate within a body, the only outcome is madness.

As countless angels descended into madness and depravity, one angel wondered if, without so many emotions and thoughts, he wouldn't have been influenced by the different "voices" within the power of faith.
After countless attempts, a method emerged that allowed people to use their own emotions to create a ring of faith and absorb the power of faith.

The angels relinquished their emotions, allowing themselves to maintain absolute rationality under the influence of the power of faith, and to harness this energy that gave them control.

This method was indeed feasible. There were no more mad angels among the angels. Every high-ranking angel who had condensed the ring of faith had become an emotionless machine, obsessed only with becoming a god.

The angels' practice of brainwashing themselves to enhance their angelic power was inspired by the power of faith.

The power of faith provided by fanatics is the strongest, so becoming their fanatics naturally grants them a powerful will, elevating the effectiveness of holy light magic to a new level.

If the power of angels reaches its limit due to the influence of bloodline strength, the power of faith can take its place, allowing them to continue to grow stronger.

The angel race's strength also increased rapidly as they generally embarked on the path of faith.

There are indeed angels who, by collecting the power of faith, have become "gods" of that world.

It's just not an existence like world consciousness.

The minds of intelligent beings are difficult to control; it's impossible to make everyone willingly become their fanatical followers and provide the strongest and purest power of faith. The so-called "god" is merely the most powerful being in a world.

Moran didn't see any real faith magic in these two memories. After reading only this "faith enlightenment" knowledge, he completely lost interest in faith magic.

Putting aside the self-aggrandizing claims made by angels, Moran believes that the power of faith and faith magic are merely shortcuts that angels use to break through the limits of their race and talents, and quickly become powerful.

Moreover, this shortcut has significant side effects.

For angels, taking this shortcut has both advantages and disadvantages; for Moran, she would only take this shortcut if she were mentally unstable.

Not only does the witch possess unlimited magical talent across all elements, but she also has innate talents imbued with the power of laws. As long as she lives well and develops her talents, she can become increasingly powerful without needing to rely on the power of faith to improve herself.

After sorting through these two sets of memories, Moran let out a deep sigh.

I couldn't help but complain to other members of the "Witch's House" group.

[Moran: I never imagined that the Angels, one of the top races on the continent of Valen, who once rivaled the Demons, would actually boost their combat power through the power of faith. Holy Light Magic and Faith Magic both have side effects...]

[Lilith: The secrets of these angels are simply horrifying!]

[Vashida: Angels are ruthless! They can just throw away their own emotions like that!]

[Sylph: Yes! What's the use of being strong if you have no emotions? You can't feel joy anymore!]

[Moran: Sigh, all my actions in the Holy City were a complete waste of time.]

[Lilith: So, are you planning to leave the Holy City and go to the Abyss to learn demonic magic?]

Moran: Probably. Staying here any longer is just a waste of time.

……

Moran felt disheartened thinking about how all her hard work in researching magical candies, decorating the shop, receiving customers, and luring angels had resulted in her gaining no impressive magical knowledge whatsoever.

After chatting with the witches, she went to the "Eight Times Speed ​​Gossip Alliance" group chat to share the information she had compiled from the angel's memories that day.

[Garona: Now I know why the high-ranking angels all stay on Mount Heaven and almost never come out of the Heavenly Gate. Without emotions and with absolute rationality, they would never be interested in a world that cannot provide them with the power of faith!]

Melinda: I even think that one day the angels might take the entire Heavenly Mountain and fly away from Valen, just like when they first descended upon Valen.

[Camilla: Maybe it's not that we don't want to leave, but that we can't! This demiplane is so huge; it needs to adhere to the rules of the main world to function properly. It's not something you can just leave whenever you want!]

[Aveline: I used to think the angels' research on light magic was top-notch in Valen, but it turns out they've unknowingly gone astray all along!]

Euphemia: How pitiful!
