Perhaps this is just what talent disparity looks like.

Her War Divine Authority could barely touch a thread of the Power of Fate, but the opponent's divine authority was probably Fate itself.

And when Michael mentioned her Magic Network game account, Sophia's expression became slightly unnatural. She herself had never really cared much about that account; after all, it was just practice software used during strategy class, equivalent to a primary schooler's workbook.

Who would care where their primary school workbook was now?

However, she hadn't expected to encounter a fan of this game account, which was somewhat embarrassingly flattering.

The reason she hadn't gone to look for the young lady earlier, but waited two months instead, was that it took some time to tame the group of angels sent from heaven.

Although the Lord of Glory was her mother and she had been directly ordained by Mother Superior as the leader of the angels, Mother Superior had been sealed for too long. Her words didn't hold as much sway with the younger angels, who wouldn't be foolish enough to openly question the decision of a King of Angels but were brave enough to engage in some underhanded tactics in secret.

However, these young angels' slight rebelliousness seemed trivial to Sophia. Although these young angels indeed each had some talent, that was only in comparison to others.

Compared to herself, not to look down on anyone, these young angels just seemed pretty average. Only this Seraph Michael seemed a bit noteworthy.

Really just a bit, about as much as a Monkey King among monkeys.

Originally, a group of monkeys, flanking this Monkey King, tried to cause trouble under her, the newly airborne manager of the Monkey Park. Naturally, Sophia wouldn't indulge these monkeys.

Since she grew up with her teacher, her personality inevitably had some of her teacher's influence: a bit dominating and used to having the final say. She didn't want to hear a second voice among her subordinates.

So, she amiably sought out the young angels and had a talk with each of them, resulting in surprisingly pleasant communications. After some friendly negotiation, the angels became very sensible.

However, these Monkey Angels still longed for their Monkey King, who had not yet descended at the time.

Finally, when Michael had been summoned recently and faced her friendly visit, he suggested a game of War Chess. Sophia happily agreed and then took ten minutes to completely flatten his base, leaving a baffled Michael to surrender immediately.

Then, this Seraph suddenly shouted out her gaming alias, "Fate Revelation."

But that really wasn't surprising. After all, her personal style was quite distinct. And during the period when Mother Superior was banned, her unique style was unmatched and unimitable by others, making it easy for someone to recognize her.

However, what truly caught Sophia's attention wasn't the fact that her alternate identity was revealed. After all, this kind of revelation was good for her; now that the Monkey King had become her fan, no other monkeys could cause much trouble. This way, she'd essentially tamed this group of young angels, at least during Witch's Night, as they would obediently follow her commands.

However, what truly surprised the Pure White Witch was what Michael said afterward. This seraph who suddenly turned into a fan mode curiously asked her if she knew "Zhuge of Guigu."

Sophia was naturally unfamiliar with the name since she hadn't logged onto the Military Strategy forum after completing her strategy lessons, unaware of this rising star who emerged after her, the Second-Generation War God.

But before she could shake her head, Michael excitedly spilled everything about Zhuge of Guigu, especially mentioning their encounter on the road to Witch Academy, and that the person was actually campaigning for the position of Grand Inquisitor of Witches.

Pure White Witch: "..."

Upon hearing this, Sophia fell silent, considering the Grand Inquisitor of the Witch Tribunal whom she had come across on the road to Witch Academy...

The Pure White Girl recalled the pile of documents on Angel Delegation her young lady had suddenly handed to her. That information saved her a lot of effort in "persuading" the group of young angels to behave well this time.

Therefore, the answer was quite clear: Zhuge of Guigu was most likely another alternate identity of her young lady.

Emmm...why did I say "another"?

"Tsk, Miss, how many weird aliases do you actually have on the Magic Network?"

Sophia was flabbergasted; she realized her lady was truly a treasure trove of secrets, unveiling new ones every so often.

She had thought the Witch of the Forest alias was scary enough, but now it seemed that in addition to spell development and her terrifying solo shipbuilding capability, the Miss appeared to be well-versed in military strategy as well, possibly even surpassing her.

Tsk tsk tsk, the irony that this Miss rants daily about her disinterest in war, that she could never be armed, not in her lifetime, and could only make ends meet as a civil engineering witch.

But if you're not interested in warfare, why study military strategy, and even earn yourself a God of War title? Is this what you call being unarmed?

The Pure White Angel really bought into that Miss's nonsense; that darn Miss is nothing but trouble, never a true word from her mouth.

Sophia still didn't know what purpose her Miss had in learning military strategy.

Of course, her feelings were naturally impossible to reveal to Michael and the other young angels; in fact, this was actually good news. After all, the more formidable the Miss, the higher the chances of defeating her, fulfilling the agreement with her mother that once she could beat the Miss, she would be free.

However...

That being said, deep down Sophia still felt a bit unwilling to lose, even if losing was the result she wanted. But the thought of the opponent being the Miss made her strangely reluctant to lose easily.

She had lost once in the last duel due to carelessness, but this time she was all in. If she still lost, wouldn't that prove she really was inferior to the Miss?

Thinking about such outcomes, the Pure White Angel couldn't help but clench her fists.

She wanted freedom, but she also wanted to beat the Miss, a truly tough choice.

But actually, there was no need to fret, after all, the contract with her Mother Superior still stood. She couldn't hold back in this duel anyway, so she just needed to give it her all.

Now, with the five-month agreement nearly up, she would soon face the Miss in a duel again. Just thinking about this, even Sophia felt a surge of excitement.

However...

She looked up at the statue of the Lord of Glory in the nearby church, wondering if it was an illusion, but did she sense a slight decrease in the speed of faith absorption?

No, it couldn't be an illusion.

The moment this thought formed, the always cautious Sophia immediately dismissed it, ignoring Michael by her side and closely inspecting the statue.

Faith power was the church's energy source to continue summoning more angels from heaven; if there was an issue with the power of faith, the rate at which angels could be summoned would be significantly impacted.

Currently, they could summon an angel from heaven once a month, but it might reduce to once every six months.

"Indeed, it's diminished slightly, something isn't right?"

After a thorough inspection, Sophia frowned and her expression turned serious.

Good grief, she hadn't even taken the offensive, yet the Miss had already made her move; truly fitting of my Miss.

The Pure White Angel closed her eyes. Her consciousness directly followed the trail of faith power. She planned to use the eyes of the believers on that side to see exactly what was happening.

...Sophia is checking the network cables...
