Three thousand years of listening to greedy mortal prayers with no damn filter can make anyone a little cynical. For Elysaryel, the Supreme Deity's most formidable and favored assistant, it just made her murderous. After "accidentally" causing the spontaneous divine combustion of one too many corrupt humans, the Supreme Deity finally gives her a timeout. She is cast down to Earth, reborn as a commoner forced to serve in the grand temple of the Imperial Capital of Astraeth. Her punishment? A strict divine restriction where she can never physically harm a single soul. To ensure she learns mercy, every violent thought, murderous glare, and malicious curse she attempts to unleash is automatically translated into a pure, fragile, and heartbreakingly forgiving demeanor. Elysaryel wants nothing more than to watch the world burn in absolute silence. Instead, her terrifyingly perfect "Saint Facade" backfires catastrophically. When she glares with pure venom, people think she's shedding tears of profound empathy. When she threatens to rip a sinner's tongue out, the world hears a gentle prayer for their salvation. Frail, beautiful, and completely lacking a family to back her up, she accidentally builds a fanatical cult of protectors. Since the divine restriction stops her from doing the hitting... she realizes she can just let her cult of brainless bastards do the dirty work for her.
