Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 448 We are pure!!! (Very loud) (6.2K)
The goddess of the silver moon believed that the goddess of the sun had given Herbert a hint, revealing her true nature to him.

Actually not so.

Herbert analyzed the personality of this goddess he had never met.

He understands Him better than He thinks!

Herbert found much valuable information about Him in the knowledge kept by the Keeper of the Secrets.

In the past, those who received personal prophecies from the Silver Moon Goddess Espera were all legendary beings who stirred up waves throughout the world.

Like the first person to attempt to become a god through faith.

The goddess of the silver moon foretold his path to godhood, but also foretold that his offspring would cut off his head with their own hands.

The one who ascended to godhood scoffed at this, and then personally threw all his offspring off the cliff.

In the end, just as he was about to ignite the divine fire and become a god, he died by the dagger of his own daughter, who had become a follower of the ancient gods.

The girl who survived by sheer luck, cushioned by the remains of her siblings, killed her enemy with her own hands.

Or perhaps, like the first Elf Queen of the Elf Empire, who also received a personal prophecy from Him.

Before falling into slumber, the Goddess of the Silver Moon foretold the empire's glory, but also foretold that her empire would ultimately be destroyed by the gods due to its pride.

The Elf Queen originally had no intention of establishing a kingdom, but when the ancient gods truly fell into slumber and even the age of dragons ended, she once again remembered the prophecy from years ago.

She personally built the empire and witnessed its most powerful and glorious centuries.

Then... he personally destroyed it in madness and arrogance that despised the gods.

The glorious empire finally came to an end on "Judgment Day".

Another one worth mentioning is Austin, the most powerful offspring of the Mother of Dragons, who calls himself the "Destroyer".

The goddess of the silver moon foretold Austin's act of god-killing, but also foretold that he would die from the betrayal of his own kind.

He truly killed a weak god all by himself, accumulating enough divinity and divine status.

Then, just as predicted, he was ambushed by a traitor.

With many precedents to follow, He did not underestimate prophecy, but made preparations in advance, maintaining vigilance and hostility towards all His own kind from an early age.

However, He did not expect one thing... that the traitor also brought three true gods with him.

The Destroyer was destroyed by someone else.

His physical body was destroyed, but his undying soul and will were integrated into the dragon's bloodline, becoming a precious legacy in the dragon's inheritance space.

……

Espera didn't make many prophecies, but almost all of those she prophesied reached the pinnacle of the world.

According to the records of that secret knowledge, there was almost no one whose strength was inferior to that of a saint.

To some extent, the fact that the Goddess of the Silver Moon was willing to make a prophecy for Herbert already indicated that she recognized his talent and believed that he would at least reach the position of a saint.

However, such recognition alone should not make us lower our guard.

Past signs indicate that Espera's prophecies, while accurate, always contained a hidden side.

It's like a double-edged sword that can cut you at any time, or poison that can only temporarily quench your thirst.

Behind the dazzling brilliance lies a chilling malice.

Where does this malice come from?

Is it one side of the blood moon?
Or is the prophecy itself inherently malicious?

In addition, after seeing those "reference cases", Herbert actually had another idea in mind.

I wonder if the prophecy really foretold everything?
Or... was it a prophecy that secretly guided all of this to happen?

If the god did not attempt to kill his own offspring after hearing the prophecy, would his daughter not have become his enemy because of the murder of her own child?
If the Elf Queen hadn't been so eager to find a way to control the gods out of fear of "divine judgment," would the ancient gods have joined forces to come together?
If the Destroyer hadn't alienated and become hostile to all his fellow races out of fear of betrayal, would the other races have chosen to support his ascension to godhood?
No one can give an answer.

Is the cause preceding the effect?

Or is it putting the cause in the effect?

Since we already know the ending, will we inevitably end up with the prophesied outcome?

"...Hopefully, the prophecy given to me won't be too far off."

Herbert lowered his head, deep in thought, but after a while he still didn't hear the goddess's voice.

Ok?
Herbert's expression shifted, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Could it be that?
After a moment's hesitation, Herbert slowly raised his head and looked up.

then……

He noticed the goddess's subtle, enigmatic smile.

The Silver Moon Goddess smiled, squinting at the "devout" paladin.

"Ok?"

He simply smiled and said nothing, but Herbert seemed to hear the goddess teasing him—"Hey! Why are you looking at me like that? Why aren't you continuing?"
Herbert could only blink and chuckle awkwardly.

"Ah ha ha……"

The goddess, however, laughed with delight.

"hehe."

The Goddess of the Silver Moon smiled, and Herbert's smile vanished.

No hehe.JPG
Oh dear, it seems I couldn't fool them.

When Herbert saw His attitude, he knew that he had probably met his match this time.

He is a master!
Not the kind of naive girl like Valentina who can be easily fooled.

"Godslayer, you're more interesting than I thought, hehe."

When the Goddess of the Silver Moon saw that Herbert had stopped pretending to be stupid and instead showed an "awkward smile," the smile in her eyes deepened, and she shook her head slightly.

The goddess did not pull her hand away from the "kiss" she was holding. Instead, she raised her other hand and playfully tapped the boy's brow with her slender index finger.

Easily manipulated?
Ha ha.

I'm not some kitten that can be played with at will.

The Goddess of the Silver Moon chuckled, her expression not one of anger, but rather one of considerable pleasure, revealing a rare sly smile.

His fingers moved one finger at a time, and Herbert's head swayed back and forth.

"Gentle, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"You won't show any arrogance, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"You're ready, right?"

"Uh-huh."

Each time the goddess asked a playful question, Herbert would obediently nod, secretly grimacing in his heart.

Oh no, we've really run into a master this time.

This woman is even better at pretending than I am.

I only installed one layer, but you installed two!

"You really know how to say things that make women happy."

"At first, he tried to provoke me with an arrogant attitude to pique my interest, but in the end, he changed his attitude and showed me respect."

He squinted and aloud reviewed Herbert's actions, praising him:
"Kid, you're really good at this!"

"If it were someone else instead of me, it would be really easy for you to lead them by the nose."

The Silver Moon Goddess laughed for a while, then finally her smile faded slightly as she asked, "So, this is the kind of method you use to deceive others?"

Before Herbert could answer, Espera's lips twitched rather strangely, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hmm, does that mean you also fooled my dear sister like this?"

Aha!

He seemed to understand something on his own, and his thoughts became clearer and clearer, and the mutterings he made became more and more fluent.

Understood.

I understand!

“I was wondering why you were able to become His saint, but now I think I know the answer.”

He raised his eyebrows, blinked, and looked at the handsome white-haired boy with curiosity. He looked him up and down and nodded in agreement.

It looks very good.

She has a great figure too.

Case solved.

You... so you're a gigolo!
wrong.

A concubine?

Oh right, it's the [most beloved believer]!
The case is now truly solved.

It's really amazing.

After sleeping for so long, the older sister has finally come to her senses and, like the other gods, has begun looking for a partner.

After all these years, He has finally come to terms with it.

Thinking about the "correct answer" he had analyzed, he looked up in the direction of the Glorious Holy City with some emotion.

You've changed too.

Are you finally willing to listen to my advice, give up such extremes, and start to become more gentle?
While the Goddess of the Silver Moon was expressing her feelings, Herbert had also adjusted his mindset.

Lost?

No, it's not time to raise the flag and surrender yet!
Although the Silver Moon Goddess seemed to have the upper hand in their previous encounters, having seen through Herbert's tactics, she was not the kind of coward who would simply give up.

So what if you see through it?

A true rival is one who goes toe-to-toe with his opponent!
A battle is one where you go back and forth!
That's right, Herbert is about to fight back.

"Deception? I think you've misunderstood."

Herbert's expression softened, and he smiled calmly, retorting, "I am a paladin, why would I lie?"

As he spoke, a thought flashed through his mind, and holy power surged throughout his body. Brilliant holy marks appeared on his chest and back, proving the truth of his words.

Take a look!

This is genuine holy power!

Take a look!

This is a sacred mark bestowed upon you by your sister!
It's genuine!

That's right, I am the paladin who will never lie!
The "palm identity" tactic has worked repeatedly in the past.

He initially found his paladin identity to be a problem, but it turned out to be a useful proof that saved him a lot of trouble.

After all, with such ample evidence before them, most people would choose to believe it, even if they still have doubts.

These constraints at the level of rules are not something that just anyone can defy.

But this time, Herbert's trick failed again.

Although the Goddess of the Silver Moon wavered somewhat after seeing the Stigmata, she still did not believe everything.

He frowned, shook his head, and said calmly, "Heh, you didn't lie, but I guess you didn't tell the whole truth either."

This goddess is not easily fooled.

He also understands paladins.

The vast majority of paladins in this world worship the sun and become sun knights under the command of the sun goddess.

As the sister of the blazing sun, Espera is in a similar situation, and she also has a group of Silver Moon Knights who firmly believe in her.

Unlike the Sun Knights, who can be made by anyone, these Silver Moon Knights are of noble birth and are very skilled at verbal tricks.

He knew that although paladins could not lie, there were still some special loopholes that could be exploited.

For example, not saying everything.

Tell the truth, but don't say everything; deliberately omit the important parts and use fragmented words to guide others.

"Save your breath, Godslayer. I'm not as easily fooled as my sister."

He playfully lifted Herbert's chin with his fingertip and said leisurely, "You can use your words to fool other people." "Don't be nervous, I'm not that old-fashioned, and I don't intend to criticize the close relationship between you and them."

A legendary paladin who has an unusual relationship with monsters, or rather, with multiple monster girls.

Even the most knowledgeable goddesses had never seen anything like it in all these long years.

He would never betray Herbert; on the contrary, He would help him keep the secret.

Like the goddess of winter, she was also tired of the unchanging routine and wanted to observe some interesting exceptions.

He felt he had won big and easily controlled Herbert.

Little did she know that the Goddess of the Silver Moon, in her carelessness, had gradually walked into the trap that Herbert had prepared for her.

"Wait a minute, you said 'criticism'?"

Herbert seized upon the flaw in the goddess's words, his expression turning serious, and immediately pressed, "Have I done something that deserves criticism?"

"Don't you have one?" Espera raised an eyebrow, her expression somewhat puzzled.

You're still asking me?

How dare you ask me that?
"Weren't you two just hugging?"

He had witnessed the scene of Kreti and Herbert embracing tightly just now!
Do you want to see what you look like now?

The goddess glanced sideways, her lips twitching slightly.

You're shirtless right now. If I had arrived any later... would you two have ended up on top of each other?

The Goddess of the Silver Moon felt that she had already given him enough face, and that she had done everything she could to be kind and righteous.

But this guy didn't appreciate it at all!
"Is this what you consider blasphemy?"

Herbert frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Is there a problem with hugging? Isn't this a proper way for friends to express goodwill?"

Ok?
As the Silver Moon Goddess sensed Herbert's aggressive aura, her confidence began to wane.

Wait a minute, something seems off.

He narrowed his eyes, staring at the boy before him, and asked incredulously, "Hmm? Could it be that the two of you..."

Herbert nodded vigorously and said firmly, "Our relationship is pure."

--so far.

At least for now, it remains a purely platonic friendship.

The kiss... she ambushed me!
Herbert secretly wiped away the sweat from his brow, secretly glad that he hadn't pushed Kretty down in the heat of the moment.

If I had acted impulsively back then, I wouldn't be able to say these words now.

One drink and one peck, could it be a predestined decision.

Then he added another sentence.

“I don’t know how you came to guess my relationship with the Lord of the Sun, but you’ve probably misunderstood us.”

"My relationship with Him is also pure."

Ok?
Eh!
The Goddess of the Silver Moon was momentarily bewildered.

He had preconceived notions about Herbert's image, regarding him as the companion of the sun goddess, without giving it much further thought.

Now, He was sensing Herbert's words and did not detect any hint of falsehood.

What he said... was actually the truth!

That's not right!
How could this be...?

But Herbert didn't give the Silver Moon Goddess a chance to think. He stood up, stepped forward, and asked in a deep voice:

"So, do you think I have broken the precepts and had a deeper relationship with them?"

As Herbert asked the question, he silently prayed that Valentina wouldn't be oblivious to the situation and jump out naked...

Please don't jump out and give me a counterexample to prove me wrong!
Sleep a little longer!
Because of the unique material of the ruins, he believed that the Silver Moon Goddess most likely hadn't noticed the two cream puffs inside...

Rather, what legitimate deity would bother spying on the private lives of its believers?

Moreover, he estimated that once Kreti entered the ruins, she would definitely take care of Valentina and the others.

As a devout follower of the Silver Moon Goddess, she certainly wouldn't allow those two "filthy things" to defile the goddess's eyes!

"I……"

Seeing Herbert's unwavering resolve, the Goddess of the Silver Moon also began to waver.

Was I wrong?

Herbert breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, feigning helplessness as he gently shook his head: "Respected Lady of the Moon, while I respect your status, please do not insult their and my beliefs."

He sighed softly, then activated another sacred mark within his body.

The first Stigmata.

As the holy marks appeared and holy power flowed, the Silver Moon Goddess's bewildered expression changed again, turning into utter shock.

"This is...this oath? Hmm!?"

In the previous highly anticipated battle, the world had already witnessed Herbert's power.

With the help of epic monsters, he can even fight against god incarnations.

However, Herbert had not been seen by the world before this.

Most of them only saw the radiant sun marks bestowed upon Herbert by the Sun Goddess at the end, unaware of the original marks on Herbert's body and the vows he made.

The Goddess of the Silver Moon is one of them.

But now, He knows.

The oath this guy swore was neither a "Vengeance Oath" related to killing, nor a sacred oath related to combat, nor the "Godslayer Oath" he swore later.

But...

"The Oath of Purity"! ! ?
"Eh!!?"

The Silver Moon Goddess couldn't hold back any longer and let out a cute soft gasp.

He did not find this sacred oath rare.

On the contrary, He was extremely familiar with it.

Silver Moon Knights, who worship the Silver Moon Goddess, are not limited by gender, but most of them are noblewomen from fallen noble families who were discovered for their potential while serving as nuns in the Silver Moon Church and eventually became paladins.

The Silver Moon Goddess is a famous virgin goddess.

These Silver Moon Knights, who also followed in the footsteps of the goddess, were considered to be the embodiment of purity and fidelity.

Isn't that a coincidence?
Yes.

Most of the Silver Moon Knights are actually pure white knights who have made a "Pure Oath".

No, why did you make this promise?
The Goddess of the Silver Moon did not understand, but was deeply shocked.

Huh?!?
Paladins who swear an oath of purity do indeed gain considerable power, but it is mostly for support purposes and not much for direct combat.

Abilities such as curing diseases, purifying toxins, protecting against evil, and receiving holy protection all receive special enhancements under the blessing of the Oath of Purity, making them significantly more effective than those of other paladins.

When they fight, their style is also elegant and free-flowing, and their silver-white armor shows off their heroic and dashing appearance.

But then look at Herbert's brutal appearance before, covered in blood and soaked in crimson... You're telling people you're the White Knight?

Are you really not some cruel retribution paladin?

Do not……

That's not the point.

The Goddess of the Silver Moon was in a daze for a moment before finally coming to her senses and realizing the real point.

This pure and powerful holy energy proves one thing—he really is pure!

Are you really pure?
Is this right?
and many more!

"……what!"

A layer of moonlight shone on the body of the Silver Moon Goddess, whose mind was in complete chaos, and she suddenly calmed down.

His expression shifted slightly as he looked at the paladin who had silently taken a step back and was giving him a gentle smile.

"..."

Espera pursed her lips.

If before it was just a slight victory for him, then now... it's truly a resounding victory for Herbert.

Were the things he said true or false?
It doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that he was overwhelmed by the mortal's aura, which completely put the conversation under his control.

I lost.

Just as the Silver Moon Goddess was tasting the bitterness of defeat and feeling dejected, Herbert spoke up.

"I must admit, you are more perceptive and wiser than Him."

He knew when to stop, and after achieving his goal, he did not become complacent, but instead praised the wisdom of the Silver Moon Goddess.

Your brain is much better than that "poop monster" who only knows how to poop.

Pick it up high, then put it down gently.

This way, you can achieve your goals without ruining the relationship.

Seeing that Herbert did not launch a further attack, the Silver Moon Goddess blinked, feeling that she hadn't experienced such a dramatic emotional rollercoaster in a long time.

"……hehe."

After a moment, He pretended nothing had happened, shook His head, and said with amusement, "You, as His follower, shouldn't speak ill of the gods behind their backs... Oh?"

"Wait, you're not one of His followers?"

Herbert's lips curled up even wider, and he nodded with a smile.

It's so comfortable talking to smart people; they understand everything immediately.

Espera looked at Herbert with even more curiosity.

If you're not a believer in the blazing sun... then whose believer are you?

To whom did you offer your faith?
He was curious, but did not ask any questions.

This must involve a secret about Herbert.

The Goddess of the Silver Moon pondered for a moment, then let out a long breath, her shoulders drooping slightly.

"I really lost to you."

Herbert, mindful of the dignity of the gods, accepted the embarrassment of being defeated by mortals.

He waved his hand and said with a smirk:

"You win. I really shouldn't and couldn't underestimate you, given how many secrets you're full of."

"Godslayer... no, Herbert Albert, you have indeed earned my respect."

"I will tell you the prophecy."

However, just as Herbert breathed a sigh of relief, the goddess suddenly changed the subject.

He changed his tune and snorted, "But you saw through my disguise and even made fun of me, which does make me a little unhappy."

Although the Goddess of the Silver Moon said she was unhappy, the corners of her mouth turned up and her eyes smiled into crescent moons as she stared at the mortal in front of her.

Those sharp eyes were like a hunter raising his bow and arrow, aiming at his prey leaping and darting through the forest.

"So, I've decided."

"I will only tell you half of the prophecy."

He looked at the mortal whose smile was stiff and whose pupils were slightly constricted, and asked softly, "So, which half do you want to know?"

"Is it a brilliant and glorious achievement?"

"still……"

"What price will be paid for this?"

mortal.

Don't think you can so easily fool a goddess!
