Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 475 Remote Control Play (?)
Within the sacred realm of nature, the roots of that enormous tree have remained unmoved for a very, very long time.

But now... it's moving.

It wasn't a grand spectacle that would resonate with everyone; it was merely a slight tremor.

The sound it made was extremely faint, not even as loud as the footsteps of a goddess passing by on a normal day, and it disappeared without any other sound interference.

Although the tremor was subtle and the sound was extremely faint, it was impossible for it to escape Freya's perception.

!!!

The Goddess of the Forest suddenly turned around, her eyes wide, staring straight at the giant tree.

What just happened?
Did the remnant body of the Lord of Nature tremble?
It's responding!!?

This is!

Could it be that...?
Is He about to awaken?

"Father, are you finally coming back?"

Fulingya's mind jolted, feeling that her years of perseverance had finally come to an end.

He even felt a little like crying.

As a half-born tree spirit born after the Lord of Nature fell into slumber, Freya actually had virtually no feelings for Him.

Aside from their blood ties, they were essentially complete strangers.

However, Freya did indeed receive a great deal from the Lord of Nature.

Endless life, immense power, and the authority to rule the pantheon...

Putting everything else aside, its vitality alone is enough to make countless people envious.

Bound to the Lord of Nature, Freya possesses an immense, almost inexhaustible life force. Unless the Lord of Nature's remains are completely destroyed, she can be considered virtually immortal.

Even if Freya's "original body" is destroyed, she can be "born" again from the remnants of the Lord of Nature's body and awaken anew.

This is also the main reason why some disloyal individuals within the natural pantheon have not yet taken the initiative to "behead and seize power" from Him.

Useless.

To truly achieve a "decapitation," the most important thing is to ensure that the person whose head is cut off is completely dead.

But clearly no one can do it.

If internal strife breaks out within the pantheon, not only will it fail to kill Freya, but it will also push itself to the opposite side of the entire pantheon, which would be a huge loss.

Therefore, these people had no choice but to take a roundabout approach, attempting to achieve their goal through a circuitous route—and they were almost successful.

If Herbert hadn't intervened, Freya would have had no choice but to swallow her bitter pill and passively seek opportunities for revenge elsewhere.

While others might have the option to surrender to a traitor within the pantheon, this is not an option for Freya.

Never.

In addition to enjoying the benefits bestowed upon her by the Lord of Nature, Freya also bore a heavy responsibility.

As the daughter of the "Lord of Nature," it is impossible for Her to hand over the pantheon of nature to any other person!
The enormous, crumbling pantheon of nature pantheons is now being carried on His shoulders by Him alone!

This responsibility is so heavy, it almost crushes Him, and He often feels suffocated.

And now, there is no more suffering.

Because the Lord of Nature has returned!
Thinking of this, and of her own efforts, Fulingya's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears, and she let out a long breath.

"Finally, it's coming to an end..."

Unfortunately, Freya soon stopped crying.

"..."

The Goddess of the Forest was disappointed.

The giant tree did indeed tremble.

But it only gave a slight jolt.

Just like that silly little snow kitten's retaliation after being teased—it got angry for a moment, but that was it, and there was no follow-up.

The Forest Goddess, who had been sentimental all day, froze completely, standing rooted to the spot.

Gone.

Just gone?
ah!!?
A moment later, Fulingya finally reacted—her lips twitched and her eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

"Inhale! Exhale..."

Fulingya closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

I dare not open my eyes, hoping it is just my hallucination.

He truly hoped that all of this was just his imagination.

After all, if it were an illusion, it would at least make Him feel a little better.

But that's not it.

Reality is truly cruel.

"...Tsk."

After a moment, Fulingya, who had been mentally preparing herself for a while, reluctantly opened her eyes, frowned and looked at her "suspected zombie" father, her lips twitching slightly. She really wanted to ask him a sincere question.

—Are you fucking kidding me?!?
It's perfectly normal for Him to react this way.

After all, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

The Goddess of the Forest is now slightly weakened.

Well, just a tiny bit.

"what……"

But if Herbert were here, he wouldn't be surprised at all, and would only offer a few heartless words of comfort.

Hey! What's there to be upset about?

Life is full of ups and downs, big and small!
Just when you think everything is going well, they'll definitely give you something special to do!
After all, Fulingya was the acting ruler of the pantheon, not a little girl who hadn't grown up yet. After a moment of adjustment, she regained her composure.

Apart from the faint anger hidden deep in his eyes, he appeared to be perfectly fine on the outside.

Fulingya walked up to the giant tree, closed her eyes and silently sensed it for a moment, then slowly shook her head.

"No……"

He noticed nothing unusual and sensed no change.

But that's okay. In the current situation, the very fact that there are "no abnormalities" is itself an anomaly.

"Something must have happened somewhere I don't know about."

Fu Lingya squinted, pondering, "Father, do you have some trump cards or backup plans that I don't know about?"

It's reasonable for Him to think that way.

How could a powerful ancient god not have any means of revival?

Not to mention the Lord of Nature who holds the divine authority of [Life].

In the eyes of most beings, the revival of the Lord of Nature was only a matter of time; the only difference was how late it would be.

But... how could it happen without any warning?

The last time the remnant body of the Lord of Nature reacted was on the day that Freya, the symbiotic tree spirit, was born.

But that was the result of some people in the nature pantheon actively trying to communicate with the Lord of Nature.

In any organization, there are those who are unwilling to accept the status quo and those who are conservatives who hope to maintain the status quo.

The Lord of Nature also has his own loyal followers, whom He has been trying to awaken using many methods.

Although these people ultimately failed to awaken the Lord of Nature, they gained a "daughter" who could represent His will, so it cannot be considered a complete failure.

After thinking for a long time, Fulingya finally came up with a possibility.

"Could it be that, somewhere beyond my perception, someone has made contact with the sapling that my father split off from?"

The goddess frowned slightly, unsure whether this was a good or bad thing.

If the other party did it unintentionally, then it's fine and there's no harm in it.

But what if the other party intends to take advantage of the Lord of Nature's slumbering state?

"...Heh, what am I even thinking? Why am I worrying about something like this?"

Freya was speechless at her own absurd idea, muttering to herself, "How could anyone possibly control Him?"

"Even the blazing sun couldn't do that." ...

……

While the Forest Goddess was experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions, Herbert, on the other side, was filled with confusion after his initial surprise.

"This...what is going on?"

Herbert was a little confused.

Family members, who knows?
I think I was just patted on the head by a tree.

And that's not even the point.

The point is, I didn't do anything, but it suddenly reacted strongly after touching me.

I think I've run into a scammer?

"What happened? Whoa! What on earth happened?!" The white squirrel was about to retreat back into its nest, but this sudden change jolted it out of its burrow.

The demigod squirrel with superhuman strength was terrified and at a loss.

It clung tightly to the tree trunk, clinging firmly to the sacred tree, looking around frantically and calling out incessantly.

Was there an earthquake?

No, something doesn't seem right!

My house looks like it's about to collapse!?
Because of its clumsy and amusing reaction, Herbert quickly calmed down and soon found it hilarious.

Have you ever seen a tree that keeps shaking?
I have seen.

And it's right in front of me now.

rustling...

Hearing the sound of the giant leaves of the sacred tree trembling, Herbert narrowed his eyes and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Wait a minute, something seems off?"

Looking at the sacred tree that was still trembling, he compared it with the scene when he first came into contact with it and found something interesting.

The other party's strange reaction was undoubtedly due to the leaf he had taken out.

However, it had already shown interest in itself before that.

This actually proves one thing.

It seems... it wasn't originally there for this leaf?
So, is it interested in me?

Is there anything about me that attracts it?

Herbert thought for a while, but seeing that the other party was still in "vibration" mode and showed no sign of stopping, he could only sigh helplessly.

Since you're not going to continue, then I'll have to take the initiative.

Herbert tentatively put away the leaf in his hand, and as expected, the tremor of the giant tree immediately decreased by several times.

Sacred Tree: Om...

"Huh? Phew, all done?"

After thinking for a moment, Herbert took out the leaves again, and sure enough, the tree's trembling increased.

Sacred Tree: Buzzing!

"Ugh! It's starting again?!"

Herbert ignored the screams coming from the treetop, frowned slightly, and roughly knew the answer in his mind.

"Sure enough, that's where the problem lies; there must be some kind of relationship between them."

"Also, would you like to try this?"

What he's holding now are just discarded leaves that have been used once and are now "useless".

But don't forget, he still has two unused ones left!

If something you've used makes you so excited it's like an earthquake, then a brand new one would probably make you explode on the spot!
Take it out, take it back, take it out, take it back...

Buzz, no buzz, buzz, no buzz...

Herbert studied (played with) it back and forth for a while, then suddenly blinked.

"Wait a minute, what a strong sense of déjà vu! I feel like I've seen this kind of vibration somewhere before?"

Herbert thought to himself, and suddenly felt like one of those thugs who held a remote control that "made others vibrate" and used it to threaten others.

That's right, it's one of those magical gadgets that can instantly cause someone to collapse with just a light press.

They say things like, "Hehehe! Are you going to listen to me or not? If you don't listen, I'll press the button, and then you won't have a choice but to listen!"

—Of course, Herbert was referring to the launch button on some weapons of mass destruction.

In my past life, as long as I possessed "that" button, I could be the biggest and most wicked rogue in the entire world, making everyone else obediently submit. (Sentimental face.jpg)

This thing can easily shake the world on both physical and spiritual levels!

It was never some pink, small, ellipsoidal object... cough!

As Herbert's thoughts wandered, he suddenly realized that he hadn't paid attention to the egg he had named "Zhangpu Aige" for a long time.

"Let's pay attention to it when we get back. Now, let me see what you really mean."

Having had his fill of playing, Herbert stepped forward, grabbed the branch in front of him, and transmitted his thoughts to it.

He was fed up with all the formalities and wanted to establish a spiritual connection with this strange giant tree in the simplest and quickest way.

But Herbert failed.

His soul did indeed successfully enter the sacred tree, but it vanished without a trace, receiving no response whatsoever.

The other person's soul was like a vast ocean made of paste, exceptionally huge and empty.

Compared to Herbert, Herbert's soul was like a small boat on the ocean, utterly incomparable.

A single drop of water falling into the ocean will not cause any ripples.

"……what?"

After the initial shock, Herbert fell into deep confusion.

He discovered... this tree was actually a demigod!
what?
what happened?

Am I in a new map? Is the world level starting to increase?

no!
How could two demigods appear in succession?

And they're even tied together!

Herbert looked up at the mist-shrouded mountains and couldn't help but mutter, "This place is just too eerie..."

In fact, to outsiders, this place has always been synonymous with evil.

This is the Misty Mountains, a forbidden zone for the gods, practically the highest challenge map in the mortal realm.

The challenge level on the outer perimeter alone is already at the legendary level, and terrifying legendary-level monsters appear from time to time.

If you go in just a little deeper, the challenge level will jump directly to the epic stage.

And in the deepest part, although no one has ever actually entered, no one doubts the level of danger there.

Challenge Level: Saint/God!

The most crucial point is not that Herbert deliberately went into danger, but that the other party came knocking on his door!
Who can bear this?

Amidst the initial shock, Herbert's ulterior motives began to stir again.

He discovered that the giant tree's thinking was far too simple, as if it could be easily guided and "pruned" to some extent.

"Hiss, but this is a demigod..."

"Sure!"

Herbert: ?

The thought had barely formed in her mind when Miss Harmony whispered in her ear, "If you want, I can help you."

doing what?
Herbert listened to this tempting speech and instinctively realized something was amiss, feeling that there must be a deeper meaning behind the man's words.

What do you want to help me with?

Nenasha chuckled softly, seductively saying:
"Hehe, of course I'll have you put Him..."

"Let's take its place!"
