Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 400 The Sun Goddess (Unofficial History) – Happy Mother's Day to all mothers!
In a space beyond the sight of even the gods, Herbert delivered an explosive statement.

Then let me ask you, is it possible that the sun god was a woman?!

unofficial history!

This is an absurd historical fact that has never appeared in this world before!

The Pope, who had cultivated his character for hundreds of years, was now consumed by rage.

Fuck!
Who told you this?!?

What's the point of having such a vivid imagination?!
"Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting?!"

The Pope clenched his fists and shouted:

"That kind of thing is absolutely impossible!"

From a purely emotional standpoint, this could even be described as blasphemy!

The problem is that Herbert's expression at this moment shows genuine doubt.

His eyes were clear, full of exploration of the unknown, and brimming with a desire to know the truth.

I'm curious!

"Your Holiness, how can you be so sure that She is not a goddess?"

"Have you really seen His true form?"

"Didn't the sun god tell you directly and clearly that He is not a goddess?"

Herbert pressed his advantage, continuing his attack and demanding an answer:

"If He didn't explicitly say so, why are you so certain?"

answer me!
"...Tsk!"

Faced with Herbert's triple death, Pope Sun couldn't help but smack his lips in a rather unladylike manner, no longer looking like a kind old man.

He glanced at Herbert with a thuggish air, his lips twitching as if he swallowed back the curse that almost escaped his lips.

Ivanson Noster, the contemporary Pope of the Sun, is generally regarded by younger believers as a kind old man who prioritizes the greater good.

However, only the oldest books still record his various titles in the mortal world.

Those things have absolutely nothing to do with "kindness".

[Exploding Dawn], [Skullbreaker], [Blazing Sun], [Fist of Judgment]...

Among the hot-tempered members of the Church of the Sun, he could be considered the most extreme.

His ability to stand out among his contemporaries and become the Pope of the Sun was not solely due to his volatile temper.

He was a master of debate in his youth, so naturally he wouldn't be swayed by Herbert's abstract words.

However, Pope Ivansen had to admit that Herbert's abstract idea had left a small but significant rift in his mind.

Herbert discovered a blind spot that no one had ever noticed before—could the sun god be a "sun goddess"?
Although it's absolutely impossible with a 99.99% chance, as Herbert said... what if?
Among endless possibilities, is there such a tiny possibility that is almost non-existent?
Does the sun god have a feminine appearance?

is it possible?
Although the Pope desperately wanted to deny this possibility, he had to admit that... this possibility existed.

If gods are omniscient and omnipotent, then transforming into a woman is not a difficult thing.

Moreover, the gods in this world are similar in personality to the Greek gods; they both have very different ways of doing things.

Most of the gods have different appearances and incarnations.

Including but not limited to race, gender, strength... it can be described as ever-changing.

The era of the ancient gods was alright; those beings who had existed since the beginning of the world had little interest in matters of the mortal realm.

Their interactions were limited to each other, and they had little contact with mortal beings, such as ants.

But when the age of faith arrived, as more and more mortals were deified, the style of the gods became increasingly free and abstract.

In such cases, whether righteous or evil, male gods often use incarnations or even their true forms to transform into female forms to mate with mortals they have chosen, and give birth to divine children.

Frequently, yes, "frequently"!
Some non-human deities will even choose to transform into the form of a mother beast to raise heroes, or even mate with mortals in the form of wild animals...

Therefore, it is not unusual for male deities to have female incarnations, and it is nothing to be angry about.

However, before this, no one had ever thought of it—no one dared to think of it!
This is so bold.

Moreover, after being "reminded" by Herbert, Ivansen couldn't help but think of something—the sun god had never had a partner.

He never had a true Son of God.

There were previously so-called "Children of the Blazing Sun," but those people were promoted after absorbing the [Teardrop of the Sun] bestowed upon them by Him.

Rather than being called divine children, they are more like creations of angels or gods, burdened with a mission from the moment of their birth, and returning to the kingdom of the sun god after fulfilling their mission.

I've never heard of the sun god having any offspring with any goddess... wait a minute!
Can't think any more!
I almost got led astray by this brat!
"Alright, let's end this topic here."

Pope Ivansen coughed, ending the conversation, and declared, "Our Lord, the Sun God Albertus, is not a goddess."

“I have seen my Lord, and I am not the only one who has seen His true face. His idols were built by us believers together.”

Having said all that, Herbert didn't argue any further and obediently lowered his head.

"Yes, yes, you're right. I was being rash."

Could Herbert not know what kind of abstract anecdotes he was talking about?

Of course he knew.

In fact, he had once happened to see a "Genesis" at Lushier's place and had truly witnessed the real form of the sun god.

It was a magnificent god with dazzling light, so bright that it was impossible to see Him clearly—wait, huh?

Thinking about it so seriously, it seems I'm really not sure about His gender?
"……hiss."

Herbert gasped slightly, his eyes widening slowly.

Well, it can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?

My mouth hasn't been blessed, so this kind of thing probably won't really happen...

Herbert was so shocked by his own bold guess that he froze, while Pope Sunflower, standing to the side, had regained his composure.

The old man lay back down in his recliner, leisurely picked up his cup, and casually asked, "So, child, why did you deliberately bring up this topic to provoke me?"

After the initial shock, he finally came to his senses and realized Herbert's true purpose in saying those words.

Ever since he entered this place, he seems to have been trying to provoke me.
"...You did find out after all."

Seeing that his little trick had been exposed, Herbert didn't try to argue. He raised his head, smiled frankly, and said, "To get an answer, I want to know why you have been so lenient with me?"

"hehe."

Pope Sunlight waved his hand casually and said, "Does a lonely old man need any reason to show tolerance to a child who comes to chat with him?"

“That reason might make sense, but I don’t think it’s the real answer,” Herbert shrugged, neither confirming nor denying it.

Besides, I didn't come to visit you on my own initiative; you were the one who summoned me.

"I need the truth, even if it's not the truth I want."

Is it exploitation? Or is it valuing talent?

Whatever the outcome, Herbert wanted to know the answer.

This is the private space of Pope Sunrise, where Herbert is in a completely vulnerable position.

But precisely when the difference in strength was so great, he still insisted on asking for an answer.

Is this the foolish arrogance of Yelang?

No.

This is wisdom derived from careful thought and deduction. It is precisely because of the significant difference in their strength that Herbert was able to make such an offensive and audacious move.

When you are weak enough, even your resistance will seem cute—which also means that those in power will be more tolerant of your offenses.

It was precisely because Herbert was too weak for Pope Sunflower, and was a friend rather than an enemy, that he was able to make such a bold provocation.

After hearing Herbert's words, Pope Sunlight's smile faded, and he carefully looked Herbert up and down.

"You and him are really quite alike... especially in a boring place like this."

After a moment, the old man shifted his gaze from the boy, looked down at his reflection in the cup, and shook his head: "If I hadn't been unable to sense any of his presence on you, I would have truly believed you were his offspring."

The Pope did not reveal who the person was, but Herbert, who had a vague guess in his heart, understood.

Oh ~
You're just giving my husband face, right?

Well, as expected of someone with the Face Fruit ability.

Although the archbishop's story never mentions Pope Sunrise, they must have had some interaction as trendsetters of their time.

At the very least, they were nodding acquaintances.

However, it seems now... their relationship might be better than I guessed.

"It is my honor to resemble him."

Herbert shrugged, then asked, "So, all your leniency towards me is just because of him?"

Pope Ivansen laughed and said, "At least part of it. Since you have been chosen by him and have his blessing, it is only natural for me, his old friend, to give you some guidance."

"In addition, it's also partly a small reward for your previous contributions."

contribute?

Herbert raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that he had done something worthy of a personal reward from the Pope.

Pope Ivansen noticed his confusion and said with a smile, "It hasn't been that long, and you already have no recollection? Didn't you do quite a few things with that dragon?"

Herbert: Hmm? ? ?
Bah!
You old man, how do you know we've done a lot?

Even you're spying on us?
Of course, I wouldn't ask such a question.

Before he could even speak, Herbert suddenly realized what the Pope was referring to.

Oh.

Oh, this is what you meant!
Hey, I thought it was that one!

Pope Sun couldn't fathom Herbert's ever-changing thoughts, and continued on the previous topic: "Although you disrupted the children's grand plan, you did stop the evil god's minions from harming the mortal world, and you also saved many little ones who shouldn't have died."

At this point, a look of helplessness and heartache flashed in his eyes, and he sighed, "And them... sigh, they still don't understand."

"More important to the gods than temporary conflicts are the believers and the faith they provide."

Hearing the old man's seemingly complaining words, Herbert suppressed all his ulterior motives, frowned, and asked seriously, "You mean, you know that all of this is just a... farce?"

Although this war between the two churches was large-scale, both sides have suffered considerable casualties.

But to Herbert and some others, it was all a farce.

Regardless of its intensity or scale, this is a farce that broke out hastily.

The old man didn't answer, but simply shook his head gently and gave a faint smile.

"hehe."

Pope Sunrise knew from the beginning that the true nature of this chaotic war was nothing more than a farce.

he knows.

However, they still acquiesced to the church's decision.

"Then why didn't you stop it?" Herbert asked, puzzled.

With the authority of the Pope, he should have been able to suppress all dissenting voices.

If that were the case, the current situation would never have occurred.

The old man smiled faintly, and asked in a soft voice with a hint of mockery, "Why should I stop it?"

!!!

"Children need to grow up. When I was their age, I didn't understand the older generation's thoughts either."

“If I try to teach them, they won’t listen.”

"People only understand what they should do after they have made mistakes."

People teach people, but they can’t teach.

Experience teaches us a lesson, and so does every single one.

“...But what if they could simply never make a mistake?” Herbert asked instinctively after a moment of silence.

"It would be even better if you could never make a mistake, but can you do that?"

Herbert fell silent and gently shook his head.

He realized this as soon as he asked the question—it was impossible.

Not to mention others, even he himself couldn't do it.

Although Herbert was always proud and thought he was no worse than anyone else, he did a lot of foolish things in his life.

The most correct thing is not necessarily what he wants to do, and what he thinks is not necessarily right.

However, regardless of right or wrong, people should ultimately do what they want to do.

Having a clear conscience is enough.

He suddenly understood.

This time, the Church of the Sun may win, but it will definitely pay a heavy price.

Because the Pope of the Sun needs them to feel this pain.

He wanted to teach them what they should really do.

At the same time, Herbert understood the Pope's intention in summoning him here.

His own role as a troublemaker has subtly caused his original plans to deviate.

and so……

Are you going to keep me under house arrest here and wait for the truth to come out?

"..."

Herbert raised an eyebrow, not revealing everything, but turning to look around before changing the subject and asking, "Where is this place?"

The boy didn't ask any more questions, and the old man didn't say anything more either, but kindly replied, "This place is from a certain afternoon in my memory."

"One of them? Don't you remember?"

"Of course, child, you are still young now, but when you are the same age as me, you will have forgotten many things." The old man laughed and stroked his beard.

Herbert blinked and raised an eyebrow.

Said so.

but……

Have you really forgotten?
