Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 375 Never to Be Apart! (6K views, please subscribe!)
Herbert's ultimate goal is to successfully resurrect Nenasha and bring her back to Earth.

To achieve this ultimate goal, several secondary tasks need to be completed.

One of these is to re-establish the Church of God that belongs to Him.

Since this was not His first time being deified, He did not need to start from scratch; He only needed to revive the church that had already collapsed.

Having a grand cause and a name for revival in hand makes things much simpler than starting from scratch.

Herbert had several initial ideas regarding the structure of the Church of God.

First, awaken more heroic spirits from the Misty Mountains.

They rehired these "unemployed" former employees to form the foundation of the Church of God.

Although some special heroic spirits have started their own businesses and ruled as kings for many years, they have no intention of obediently returning or are not so willing to submit.

However, Herbert believed that the vast majority of Heroic Spirits longed for Nenasha's return.

There will certainly be difficulties in this regard, but the real obstacles are not expected to be significant.

Moreover, he can use the Heroic Spirit Pool to directly recall Heroic Spirits that have been "deleted" in the past, allowing them to shine again.

Currently, only one of the three fragments in the entire Heroic Spirit Pool has been obtained. Once the other fragments are collected and the entire pool is restored, its power will definitely be even greater than before.

Secondly, we should also recruit some new members, preferably experienced individuals with church-related experience.

He set his sights on the Misty Monastery, always looking for an opportunity to poach its members.

Herbert originally had plenty of talent, but lacked the ability.

Although he had some ideas in his heart, he knew that being a high-ranking official was not enough for him to establish himself as the leader of a force within the monastery.

Although some cultivators were optimistic about his future, they remained inactive, waiting for him to grow stronger.

Now that he has truly achieved legendary strength, he has begun to have some ulterior motives and can put this matter on the agenda.

As for how to poach talent right under the archbishop's nose, that's another matter.

Finally, there was the small group of true followers that Herbert wanted to cultivate from scratch.

Of these three aspects, this one is progressing the fastest, and some potential candidates have already been found.

In the future, these three forces will form a brand new Church of God—uh, the Church of Harmony?
Herbert pondered to himself, then raised an eyebrow as he looked at the excited, sobbing heroes before him.

Wait, something seems off?

"..."

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly gasped discreetly, asking himself, "Speaking of which, why are they all women?"

He took a closer look and realized that although the seventy heroic spirits in front of him had different appearances and races, they all shared a common characteristic.

They are all female monster girls.

No, buddy?
Why is there an all-female group here?
"Nenesha, your divine realm shouldn't only contain female heroic spirits, right?"

Herbert thought back carefully and realized that although the number was small, he had encountered male Heroic Spirits in the Misty Mountains before.

Why are they all women this time?
In response to Herbert's question, Nenasa casually retorted, "What, you don't like it?"

"Ok?"

Herbert paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "I like it? Uh, should I like it?"

"I think you should like it."

"You should prefer these female Servants to the male ones."

"Therefore, all the heroic spirits I awakened this time were female; the male heroic spirits are still being nurtured in the pool."

!!!

What do you mean?
Herbert's eyes widened, and he vehemently retorted in his mind, "I didn't! Don't make things up without evidence!"

No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense.

"Slander! This is blatant slander! You're slandering me!"

Nonsense!

You're spouting nonsense!
I, Herbert, have lived an upright and honorable life. When have I ever had such dark thoughts?

Even if I did have it, when did I ever say it out loud?
【"……Oh."】

After listening quietly to Herbert's overreaction, Nenasha gave a soft hum and asked leisurely, "So, did I do the right thing?"

"Also, if you keep making noise, I won't do it again next time."

"I...oh."

Herbert, who had been passionately defending himself, suddenly fell silent upon hearing this. After a moment of silence, he slowly nodded: "...That's quite right, cough."

"well-done."

I'm giving you a five-star review, dear!
After the two bickered for a while, Herbert turned his gaze to the fragments of the Heroic Spirit Pool on the altar, whose energy had been completely depleted.

If it weren't for her confidence in Nenasa, Herbert would have genuinely worried that the Heroic Spirit Pool would be rendered useless.

The Heroic Spirit Pool doesn't awaken Heroic Spirits out of thin air; it requires consuming the energy stored within.

The three-headed chimera is not a heroic spirit. Although it becomes stronger than monsters of the same level by relying on the water of the heroic spirit pool, its need for the heroic spirit pool is not that great.

It has consumed less than 30% of the total water in the entire Pool of Heroes.

This time, Herbert used up the remaining 70% of the water that had accumulated in the pool.

If 70% of the energy awakened 70 heroic spirits, then under normal circumstances, it could awaken 100 heroic spirits at once?
Of course, he knew that the accounts couldn't be calculated that way, and that this energy wasn't so easy to accumulate.

How long will it take to fully recover?

"A hundred years~"

Nenasha responded matter-of-factly, her voice filled with pleasure.

"Although it takes a little longer, at least the result is guaranteed."

Herbert: ? ? ?

What are you teasing me?

Where am I supposed to wait for you for a hundred years?
"...Are you kidding me?"

【"joke?"】

He seemed taken aback for a moment, then said with some dissatisfaction, "What do you mean? Do you think I would lie to you about this?"

"meeting."

Herbert nodded firmly and said seriously, "I'm pretty sure you'd make such a silly joke about something like this."

Why was Herbert so determined?

Because his personality is quite similar to Nenasa's.

Judging from his own experience, Herbert believed he would do the same thing.

Then He will surely do it!
Because I believe in myself, I believe in you too.

"Herbert, how could you think of me like that! Am I such a god in your eyes?"

Nenasha cried out in despair, "Wasn't I, in your heart, a gentle, kind, honest, considerate, generous, and beautiful great evil god?!"

Herbert: ?

Why don't you listen to what you're saying for yourself?
Do these qualities align with the "evil god" concept?
Although Nenasa's rant was hard to bear, Herbert was indeed relieved.

He was now completely certain that Nenasha was joking with him, that she could utter such abstract words.

So he stopped responding and just listened quietly to Nenasha's "lament".

Keep acting, keep performing.

I'll just sit here quietly and watch your performance.

I'm not taking any roles; I'll just watch how you manage to keep up this one-man show.

"How could you think of me like that? How could you distrust me like that! You're so selfish! You... oh, cough cough."

After shouting for a while, seeing that Herbert was no longer paying attention to her, Nenasha coughed and said, "I'll stop while I'm ahead."

He pretended nothing had happened and complained, "You're so boring, so uncooperative! Your personality is just awful!"

"Ah."

Herbert snorted: "Enough nonsense. When it comes to how bad our personalities are, we're evenly matched."

Let's not talk about the second brother, I know your personality, and you know mine.

There's no need for us to argue about who's better or worse, right?

You can't expect two kinds of people to sleep in the same bed; everyone knows who else is better.
We're all ancient foxes, so you're trying to play games with me.

We were all taught by the same master, so we can't break each other's moves.

"Well, that's true..."

After careful consideration, Miss Harmony accepted Herbert's statement with considerable agreement.

Yes.

We're all just starting out, so let's stop comparing who's the newest.

"Alright, congratulations! You got it right! I was just kidding~"

He chuckled, putting the earlier little incident behind him, and said with a smile, "It doesn't take a hundred years, actually it takes two hundred!"

Two hundred years!
The time not only didn't shorten, it actually doubled!
But Herbert remained unmoved and said stiffly, "Yes, yes, it's terrible, it takes so long... So, what's the truth?"

"That's the truth."

Nenasha answered with a grin, but didn't continue the playful banter, explaining:
"Under its original conditions, it would have taken at least two hundred years to fill the pool with water... and that's assuming no outside interference."

Herbert was not so optimistic before for the same reason, because changes are bound to occur as the pool water accumulates.

If someone dries up the pool halfway through, the time it takes for it to accumulate water will be greatly extended.

"However, now that I'm in control, it has been fully revived! The time has been greatly shortened, and it no longer needs to take a hundred years!"

Nenasha hummed smugly for a moment, then added:
"Of course, even based on the current situation, it will take at least a month to recover to a level where we can perform the next summon... I'm not kidding."

Shortening the timeline from two hundred years to one month is a significant improvement.

Do you smoke once a month?

That's acceptable.

Although she had come to terms with it, Herbert still asked, "Is there any way to speed up the recovery?"

"Yes, there are."

Nenasha stopped her antics and immediately responded:

"As long as you can obtain the remaining two fragments and completely restore it to its original state, the Heroic Spirit Pool can begin its internal circulation, and the recovery speed will be greatly increased."

Under normal circumstances, the pool of heroes in the divine realm never has any recovery time.

As long as believers pour in their devout souls, it can continuously transform new heroic spirits, increasing the fighting power of the divine kingdom.

"The remaining two pieces?"

Herbert frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand. It will be arranged later, but there's no rush for now."

Of the three pools of Heroic Spirits, only the three-headed chimera has been completely destroyed; the remaining two are not particularly easy to deal with.

Needless to say, the Legion of Heroes is stronger than the Chimeras, and they can also form battle formations, which greatly increases their danger level.

Although Valentina's strength has advanced to the epic level, she is not invincible and there is still a risk of being overwhelmed when surrounded by a group of people.

Even if we really have to confront them head-on, we need to let Valentina get used to the power of the epic monsters, and also bring the other monster girls along.

If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

If you want to take action, you can't just test the waters on a small scale. Doing so will only alert them and increase the chances of things going wrong.

If we're going to fight, we have to go all out and try to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Go all in! When it's time to go all in, you have to go all in!

If you win, you can go to the club and order young models.

If you lose, you'll have to work as a young model at a club.

The other construct robot, although it was probably the weakest of the three in terms of strength, was not even able to be forcibly kept by Sophia.

But the strangeness of the construct robots is the highest.

The flesh and blood that were spreading and growing within its body gave Herbert a vague sense of foreboding.

Twisted flesh grows and spreads from the mechanical structure.

It corroded the metal, replacing it with flesh and blood.

The feeling was like machinery being contaminated by flesh and blood...

In his previous life, Herbert didn't really believe in metaphysical things like intuition.

But throughout his life, his spiritual intuition has always been excellent.

"Regarding the issue of flesh and blood, we should discuss it more with Sfanie later, or let her see it with her own eyes."

He had briefly mentioned the construct robots contaminated with flesh and blood to Svanee before, but without physical examples, the Dark Elf couldn't make any further inferences.

Now that they have gained the ability to teleport to the Discipline Center and Elda, it is much easier to take Sfanie to witness it firsthand.

"Hmm~ However, I do suggest you prepare a little more, since this pool of Heroic Spirits is already sufficient for now."

Nena didn't urge her; instead, she advised Herbert to prepare more.

In terms of Nenasha's identity, she was actually the one who most wanted Herbert to take the risk.

If Nenasa is truly just an ordinary evil god seeking revival, then what she most desires is for Herbert to risk his life to gather the materials needed for her restoration.

Whether it was gathering his materials as quickly as possible or taking over Herbert's body after His untimely death, both were better options for Him.

But Nenasha gave up.

He stopped thinking about these things altogether, though he didn't know when it happened.

Instead, he repeatedly emphasized to Herbert: "My dear ally, I don't want you to take any risks."

It was a very funny scene.

The evil god was advising mortals to be calm and steady, but the mortals couldn't stop themselves from courting death.

Finally, the gods successfully persuaded the mortals, and Herbert accepted Nenasha's proposal.

"Okay, it's up to you."

"Mmm, so good, so good~"

Nenasha tried to soothe him like a child, which made Herbert roll his eyes.

Don't give me that.

Tsk.

Whoever you are, get out of Nenasha's body right now!

【"Hehe~"】

Miss Humor smiled happily, stopped teasing, and instead said:

"By the way, if you feel you have enough Heroic Spirits, you can switch to another summoning method."

"In what way?" Herbert was also curious about this.

how?

Are there any other ways to play?
The answer is—yes, bro, yes!
"Sacrificing a certain quantity in exchange for higher quality."

"As long as I consume enough soul cores, I can even awaken legendary-level heroic spirits."

According to Nenasa, this was done to obtain free labor, so even after consuming a large number of soul cores, she only awakened heroic spirits with a maximum strength of no more than high rank.

If all these soul cores are fused together, there is a certain probability that a powerful legendary hero can be awakened!
"Ok?"

After hearing this, Herbert had only one thought in his mind—Wow, isn't this a safety net?
Or rather, exchange?
In his view, summoning heroic spirits is like drawing cards; you don't know what kind of heroic spirit you will awaken, what their abilities, personalities, or races are, and there are too many uncertainties.

The second method, however, fixes the level of the summoned hero and forces the summoning of a legendary hero.

The pity system in the game requires players to draw a certain number of cards before giving them a consolation prize.

Now, resources are spent to exchange for higher-level lottery tickets.

"Is it even possible to do something like this?"

However, Herbert was more surprised by the extent to which Nenasha had managed to do this than by this operation, which was of questionable conscience or malice.

By fusing numerous heroic spirits together, a completely new soul is forged.

Such a gesture...

"Sure."

Nenasha sensed Herbert's thoughts, smiled calmly, and said softly, "Herbert, don't forget."

"I am a god~"

gods.

As Herbert grew more familiar with Nenessa, he sometimes forgot about this aspect of His identity.

Nenasha is a deity, and probably not just any ordinary deity.

He had no reverence for any other god; in his eyes, every god was nothing more than a little karami.

If it's just talk, then there's nothing wrong with it; anyone can talk big like that.

Herbert could even claim to be the chosen one of the sun god!

But Nenasha seems... to actually be able to do it.

Even in his current severely wounded state, He is able to seize the authority of the sun god and cause the world to tremble.

If Nenasha were to continue recovering, to what extent could He do it?

Herbert sometimes didn't want to think too much.

He wasn't afraid of the dangers that might come in the future; he was already mentally prepared the day he became an ally of Nenasha.

He was just... slightly uneasy.

Once Nenasha regains her strength, will anything change about her?

What if He turns into a form I don't recognize?

I don't know when it started, but he has become this sentimental person.

"I won't change."

"Um!!?"

As if hearing the worries in the hearts of mortals, the gods spoke gently.

"I promise you, no matter what happens, I will not change, I will still be the person you know."

The gods promised mortals that they would never change.

Hearing this sincere promise, the mortal fell silent.

"..."

The more Nenasha assured Herbert, the more uneasy he became.

He had never hated his intuition so much.

I always feel like Nena is setting some taboo flags—like getting married after the war, marrying you when I come back, and quitting once I've made money…

Is this a predetermined fate?

"I won't change, so you don't need to worry anymore..."

"Tsk."

Herbert, unusually, swore and muttered a couple of things to himself.

Screw fate.

"Nenesha!"

【"Um!?"】

Nena was startled, wondering why Herbert was suddenly so agitated.

Herbert didn't explain, but simply said:

"You won't leave me, and I won't leave you."

He wasn't hoping, but declaring it as a fact: "We will never be apart!"

Nenasha was a little confused.

"Huh? What's wrong with you...?"

He didn't understand why Herbert suddenly reacted so strongly.

Herbert seemed to think that such a promise was not enough, and added, "Even death cannot separate us!"

A death flag, is it?

You're making me uneasy, aren't you?

I'll say it too!
I want to see what this damned fate will do!
"...Pfft, haha."

Nenasha didn't know what Herbert was struggling with, but she could sense his thoughts—he was unconvinced, very unconvinced.

He was no longer sentimental, but reverted to the arrogant person He knew.

He was actually very happy about this change.

"I'm glad you said that, but... before you say that, you should get a little stronger."

He chuckled and teased, "Legendary is indeed not weak, but still not strong enough~"

If you want to protect me, you should go back and practice more!
Perhaps one day you will truly achieve your goal, become stronger than me, and be able to protect me.

I believe you can do it.

But that will take time.

So, until that day comes, let me protect you first.

"Hey! You fiend, don't be so arrogant! Once I reach the epic level, I will surely slay you!"

Herbert was not convinced by Nenasha's words and kept muttering to himself.

He had only just struggled to advance to the Legendary level, yet he was already fantasizing about what would happen after he reached the Epic level.

"Epic? To be honest, there are differences between epics, and some epics aren't even worth mentioning."

"No, I should be an epic-level character too."

Lucaria twitched her lips, glancing guiltily at Valentina, who was curled up and sleeping peacefully to the side, and carefully compared the strength of the two sides.

In terms of raw power, we can't beat them.

In terms of soft power, they can't compare.

Can't beat it, really can't beat it.

All bets are lost!

Miss Mirror Demon muttered in a low voice, somewhat unwilling to accept the situation: "How can there be such a big difference?"

"And Herbert, when are you finally coming back?!"

"Take her away quickly!"
