The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 437 The Power of Faith

The gods seemed to fall into a long silence. No matter how devoutly the believers prayed, their voices seemed unable to penetrate the mysterious veil and receive the slightest response from the gods.

However, there is a group of people who stepped forward and became the light in the darkness.

Superheroes, whether facing vicious supervillains, demons from the depths of hell, or devils from ancient legends, always rush to the front lines without hesitation.

In every battle, they fought with all their might, using their strength to protect the safety of the people.

Their figures grow ever taller in the hearts of the people, becoming embodiments of light and bringing hope and courage to them.

At this moment, Wes was staring curiously at the ball of light in his hand that was emitting a faint glow.

"Is this faith?!"

His voice was filled with surprise and doubt, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the day before.

As usual, Weiss was immersed in contemplating the laws of light.

Suddenly, he faintly heard someone calling his name.

Since becoming a demigod, he has possessed a trace of divinity, and he can sense if someone keeps calling his name.

But in the past, such sensations were very weak; this is the first time I've experienced one this strong.

Wes, filled with curiosity, calmed down and listened carefully.

It was the innocent voice of a little boy; he was making a wish, or more accurately, praying.

The little boy prayed that Wes could protect his family from the dangers and fears of life.

During the Battle of New York, Wes's immense power and dazzling magic left a deep impression on many.

Especially the imaginative children, who regarded Wes as their idol and worshipped him.

Although Wes later did some things that caused his popularity to plummet, he still had a group of loyal fans who firmly believed that he was kind and righteous.

These loyal fans all share the same wish: that Wes can help them and lend a helping hand when they encounter difficulties and dangers.

If that were all, Wes might not have stopped trying to comprehend the laws.

But just as he was sensing this power of faith, he unexpectedly discovered that it contained fragments of the laws of light.

"No wonder those gods need to spread their faith; the power of faith provided by believers can help in comprehending the laws."

Wes suddenly realized, and was secretly amazed.

He further discovered that the purer a believer's faith, the purer the fragments of the law of light contained within the power of faith.

Looking at the ball of faith in his hand, he realized that although it contained only a tiny, barely perceptible glimmer of the law of light, its power was far too weak.

However, a bold idea popped into Wes's mind: what if there were ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or even one hundred million such fragments? How powerful would they be, and how much would they help him comprehend the laws of light?

Wes began to truly understand those gods.

On the path of pursuing power and laws, who wouldn't want to take a shortcut?

Why choose the thorny and arduous path when there is a relatively easy way out?

"Perhaps we can give it a try."

Wes pondered to himself, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He began to try to respond to the prayers of the believers.

Send out seraphim to deal with the demons and devils that are wreaking havoc on the human world.

Each time a seraph successfully defeats evil, it ignites even stronger hope and gratitude in the hearts of those who pray.

Gradually, more and more people prayed, and the power of faith, like a trickle of water, gathered into a river, becoming increasingly powerful.

As the power of faith increases, the number of fragments of laws contained within it also increases.

As Wes watched the ever-increasing number of fragments of the law, he was filled with joy, as if he could see himself making rapid progress on the path of comprehending the laws of light.

Just as Weiss was planning to further expand his influence and attract more people to his faith...

Strange contacted him.

The matter is very simple.

Harvesting faith is forbidden to anyone on Earth.

The Ancient One finally managed to drive away the gods, preventing humanity from becoming domesticated beings.

This is the responsibility borne by the most revered Dharma Masters throughout history; humanity must not repeat the same mistakes.

Wes fell silent for a moment.

He understood that what Strange said was true; the Ancient One had made tremendous efforts to protect humanity's freedom and dignity. If he were to harvest faith on a large scale for his own selfish gain, it could very well plunge humanity back into the dangerous situation of being controlled by the gods.

But Wes was unwilling to give up this seemingly within-reach power.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Despite being blocked from Marvel's faith-harvesting plan by Strange's words, Wes did not give up.

He quickly realized that since the Marvel universe wasn't an option, there might be other worlds that offered a chance.

After some thought, the world of One Piece came to mind; in his view, it was an excellent testing ground.

In the world of One Piece, the situation is chaotic, with war raging and various forces constantly clashing.

Moreover, Vegapunk's prophecy of the "Great Flood" has cast a shadow of despair over the world.

Against this backdrop, Wes felt that he was the perfect person to become the savior.

Without further ado, Wes gave the order, and the Seraphim led the Pacifistas away from Wano Country in a grand procession.

Neither the navy, the revolutionary army, nor the United Kingdom were able to put up a fight; they were all wiped out.

Immediately afterwards, Wes unleashed powerful spatial magic, opening countless spatial portals.

They transferred the inhabitants of the One Piece world to the Red Line in batches.

During this process, people were filled with awe for Weiss's power.

Then, one amazing miracle after another descended upon the world of One Piece.

It could be the warm sunshine that suddenly appears in a storm, or a clear spring that suddenly gushes forth in a barren land.

These miracles, coupled with Wes's tireless promotion, gradually made him an incredibly great figure in people's minds.

Soon, churches and temples sprang up across the land of the pirate world.

With devout hearts, people entered these sacred buildings, began to worship Wes, regarded him as a god, and prayed fervently every day.

However, no change is ever without its challenges. Even with Weiss demonstrating such power, there were still some who resisted.

They were unwilling to easily give up their freedom and expressed their doubts and resistance against Weiss's rule.

Faced with these rebels, Wes did not hesitate for a moment and swiftly wiped them out with ruthless methods.

These rebels are obstacles to his establishment of a religious order in the pirate world and must be eliminated.

After this intense upheaval and transformation, Wes thoroughly reorganized the pirate world.

Now, his position in this world is secure, and the power of faith flows towards him like a surging tide...
