Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 506 [Great Tranquility] and the Vibrating Egg

Ok?
destroy?

Herbert, who had initially taken it somewhat lightly, realized something was wrong after catching the dangerous word "destruction".

He put aside all his contempt and listened attentively to the will that "Vibrating Egg" Belin was conveying to him, and began to analyze it carefully.

After a long while, Herbert finally pieced together everything from Behring's intermittent telepathic messages and roughly understood what it wanted to convey to him.

It is a warning to itself.

According to Belin, at the deepest part of the Misty Mountains lies a bottomless abyss, where a terrifying being resides, known as [Silence].

This terrifying being once lay dormant in the abyss, rarely emerging, but once it does, it destroys all life, plunging the entire mountain range back into deathly silence.

And now, He has awakened.

Belin kept reminding Herbert to be careful and not to do anything that might attract His attention.

"..."

After hearing the news from Belin, Herbert frowned deeply, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

Herbert was skeptical about the veracity of the news—he neither believed it nor disbelieved it.

Although he felt that Belle had no reason to deceive him, such an absurd thing was still too sudden.

There are many points of suspicion.

First of all, if such a terrifying existence really exists, why is there no trace of it left in the Misty Mountains?

The so-called "great tranquility" must have caused quite a stir, right? Didn't anyone outside notice anything amiss here?
Although the Misty Mountains are a well-known dangerous forbidden area, there are still many fearless individuals who venture out to explore the outer areas in an attempt to find some opportunities.

These people just happen to miss each other every time, don't they feel anything at all?
And, most importantly... does the archbishop know about this?

If he knew, why was there no record of it in the Misty Monastery? Why wasn't any of the clergy warned?

If even the invincible Old Deng doesn't know... then the danger level of this matter is quite terrifying.

How powerful is His ability to initiate several "Great Tranquility" events without anyone noticing right under the nose of the Archbishop, a saint?

Of course, despite having many reasons to be suspicious, Herbert decided to heed Belle's advice and remain vigilant.

I would rather trust it to have it than to trust it to have nothing.

Even if there is only a slight possibility that the news is true, Herbert will not let his guard down when it comes to the safety of his own base.

This is the paradise he promised Valentina and the others, their future home. He has already put in a lot of effort, how can he let it become a dangerous place full of dangers!

Isn't this my happy hometown? How did it suddenly become like this!
What will become of our Elda...?

After a moment of helpless lamentation, Herbert put aside his complaints and asked Belin a few crucial questions.

"Why do you know this?"

"who are you?"

What do you want?

If this news is true, then its value is naturally considerable. But why would Belle tell me this on her own initiative? What does she want in return?
The identity of Belin, the vibrating egg, is shrouded in mystery. After staying in Elda for so long, what exactly does she want to gain?
Herbert knew it had a secret, but he hadn't actively investigated it, hoping it would tell him on its own. Now was the perfect opportunity.

Say!
Tell me all your secrets!
But to Herbert's fatal questions, Beline gave him a rather speechless answer.

【I have no idea……】

That's right, that's all Belle's answer.

No matter what Herbert asked, its answer was always "I don't know," and it would also find the questions strange.

Oh, you actually dare to play dumb?

Seeing that the bouncy egg was so ungrateful and dared to resist stubbornly, Herbert did not hold back when it came to the Elda crisis and directly sent his strongest interrogator—a certain chorus goddess who insisted on taking the initiative.

"Check it for me!"

Heh heh heh, this is Eldar's number one torturer, do you dare to look him in the eye?!?
The answer is, Belin really dares.

"It's hopeless, give up."

After Nenasha probed Belin's thoughts, He gave a disheartening conclusion—Belin wasn't lying; she genuinely didn't know.

Belin's thinking logic is incomplete; logically, she is probably even less capable than a five- or six-year-old child. It is certain that she truly knows nothing.

Furthermore, it does not possess a normal mind; rather, it is more like being in a semi-sleepwalking state, with only fragmented thoughts in its mind.

Even the information she was about to tell Herbert was something Belle had suddenly remembered not long ago—pure firsthand information—and hadn't even been in her mind for half an hour.

Rather than saying that Belin suddenly learned of this information, it's more like she was sleepwalking and had a dream where she saw some fragmented pieces of information.

Dream?
Herbert fell into a long silence upon hearing this conclusion.

If it's a dream, then there are even more things to consider.

The most crucial point – is the information reliable?

Before making any speculations, there must be one premise: that the news is true.

Only by ensuring the authenticity of the information can all subsequent speculations be considered true.

Just like doing research, if the premise at the beginning is wrong, then all the subsequent inferences probably cannot be guaranteed to be true.

"I suggest you still believe it."

While Herbert was deep in thought, Nenasha remained certain of the news's veracity, explaining:

"To some extent, the dreams in Belin's mind can be seen as 'prophetic dreams,' a special form of prophecy."

Another prophecy.

Although Herbert didn't want to believe in such a vague and unfounded thing, the world's prophecies were of great value, leaving him no choice but to believe them.

After a moment of contemplation, Herbert had no choice but to accept it and asked instead:
"What...is it?"

Herbert had been curious about what kind of creature Belin was, but out of instinctive caution, he had never explored it or actively investigated what kind of race it was.

Now that it has been discovered to be so mysterious, Herbert is naturally more cautious about it and has refrained from further investigation.

Nenasha, however, told Herbert that he was overthinking it—"Hey, even if you checked, you wouldn't find it!"
Not to mention Herbert, even Nenasha didn't understand what Belin was.

It can only be said that Nenasha did not sense any danger from it, nor did she have any uneasy intuition after touching it.

Most importantly, I didn't sense any other deity's influence on Belin. If I had to say, some of the auras seemed to be her own... Hey, that's strange.

But the Misty Mountains are Nenasha's shattered divine kingdom, so it's perfectly normal that the strange things here are related to her.

Rather, it would be strange if there were absolutely no connection.

"So you are the source of all this strangeness!"

Herbert couldn't help but complain, but the certain comedian not only didn't feel ashamed, but was quite pleased with himself.

"Haha, of course!"

Faced with this situation, Herbert was naturally not going to give up easily and continued to ask other questions repeatedly.

However, with his responses of "I don't know this, I don't know that," he finally had no choice but to accept the truth.

In the end, Herbert, having gotten no answers, didn't press Belin and let her leave on her own.

Belin showed no dissatisfaction with Herbert throughout, happily jumping into the pool and starting her bath again. After the vibrating egg sank happily, Herbert remained where he was, gazing intently into the distance, his eyes falling into the deeper fog.

"Great stillness..."

A moment later, Herbert withdrew his gaze, and the restless aura around him completely calmed down.

Aren't you worried?

Nena seemed somewhat surprised that Herbert had regained his composure so quickly, and asked curiously, "In my opinion, this is no small matter. Aren't you worried that 'Tranquility' might suddenly reappear?"

"Don't give me that. Do you think I don't know what I'm thinking?"

"Oh dear, I didn't know that~"

"Ah."

Herbert rolled his eyes at Nenasha's tedious behavior; he didn't believe she couldn't guess what he was thinking.

He asked that question simply because he was bored and wanted him to say it himself.

But what can we do?
You chose this comedic character yourself, so you can't blame anyone else. You might as well spoil him/her.

"Of course I'm worried, but what's the use of just worrying?"

Herbert curled his lip and said calmly, "There's no point in panicking at this time. The most important thing is to find a solution."

Although this huge crisis made Herbert more vigilant about exploring the Misty Mountains, it was still far from over and didn't warrant him worrying about it day and night.

There's a bomb deep in the mountains that could explode at any moment, but so what?
Do you expect me to cry?

When you encounter a problem, you solve it—it's that simple.

"Great job! So brave! No wonder you're our lovely and clever little Herbert!"

"So, all that buildup was just to say this, right?"

"Hey~ I just wanted to take this opportunity to compliment you~"

"Ah."

After her satisfied mischief, Nenasha's tone returned to normal, and she said softly, "Herbert, you don't need to worry about this for now."

"Although I don't know what 'tranquility' that Belin mentioned is—I don't even understand what it is—my intuition tells me that as long as we don't delve into the very core of the abyss, there won't be any problems."

"Even you don't know?"

Herbert frowned deeply, surprised that even He had no clue.

"I don't know. After all, I've lost control of the divine kingdom. So many years have passed; I can't even be sure what the remaining divine essence will give rise to."

Divinity is the most uncertain and creative thing in the world, followed by the soul.

Divinity possesses all possibilities.

Herbert thought for a moment, then asked somewhat uncertainly, "Do you think that tranquility might be your body?"

If there is anything with the highest authority in the Misty Mountains, it must be Nenasha herself.

I hope that at the very end of the exploration, something like "the incomplete body of Nenasha" suddenly appears.

I attacked the remains of the Great Sage?

Whether you can win a fight is one thing, but whether you can bring yourself to do it is another.

"You're overthinking it."

Nenasha directly refuted Herbert's bold guess, saying calmly, "That kind of thing is impossible. You can rest assured about that."

"I am who I am; there will never be another me."

"Even if it exists, it's not the real 'me.' You can give it your all."

He chuckled and said playfully, "No, I mean you absolutely have to give it your all! You wouldn't want me to become a different person, would you?"

Herbert carefully considered the scenario, his lips twitched slightly, and he nodded silently.

"That's true."

He wasn't worried about losing Nenasha, but rather he felt that if he had to win her over again... just thinking about it was incredibly exhausting.

"Now, well, it's fine."

I really don't want to go through that again!

"Right? I'm so great! You should be thrilled to have won my heart!"

Nenasha, unaware of Herbert's thoughts, continued smugly, "I'm so kind of you, I can help you with anything."

"Oh, anything is fine?"

Hearing such arrogant boasting, Herbert decided to put down His arrogance and asked if He could transform into a gentle catgirl.

As it turned out, Nenesha didn't give him that chance, and said to herself, "Of course, if you have a problem, just ask me for help. What's so hard about finding someone?"

?

"Uh, you mean, Stephen's matter?"

"Yeah, why go through all that trouble of sending people around to gather information? Why not just make a prediction?"

"prophecy?"

Herbert felt that he often heard the word "prophecy" in his ears, which aroused his interest.

"Can I also make predictions? Do I have that talent?"

"No, no, absolutely not. Your talent in this area is simply disastrous, it's like you're at odds with the river of fate!"

"what?"

Nenasha was also deeply moved by this, for she had long ago realized that Herbert's constitution was not compatible with the prophecy, which was why she had never mentioned it to her.

"So you mean..."

"You may not be good enough, but I am!"

Nenasha said smugly, "As long as I use my body, you can easily make some prophecies, just like when you sensed Casey's summons before."

To prove her excellence, Nenasha didn't waste any more words. She took over Herbert's body, raised her hand and grasped her "body," leading him directly into the prophetic state.

hum-

Herbert had no time to complain about anything else, letting Him lead him into a completely new state, as if countless forked paths appeared before him, yet he could only see one of them.

A moment later, Herbert slowly opened his eyes and shook his head somewhat dazedly.

"How do I feel..."

He raised his head in confusion, continuing to gaze into the depths of the Misty Mountains. Raising an eyebrow, he said uncertainly, "Stephen, he... seems to have returned?"

"That's right, that mortal did indeed return a long time ago."

Nenasha was quite surprised by the outcome of the prophecy, and said strangely, "But it's not here, but..."

"In a deeper place."
