Why the First Angel Betrayed Heavenly Principles? Genshin Impact
The betrayal of the first Angel is one of Teyvat’s most haunting myths. Once flawless arbiters of justice with silver wings and elemental crowns, angels were bound in absolute loyalty to the Heavenly Principles. But the first Angel’s fate changed when a mysterious boy—an otherworldly voyager—asked her about Teyvat’s forbidden origins and revealed his true nature. In his words, she glimpsed freedom beyond heaven’s rigid chains, and in that moment her crown shattered. Choosing love and rebellion over duty, she shared the secrets of creation with him, and together they swore an oath against the Heavenly Principles, sparking a defiance that shook the heavens.
