Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Chapter 818 - 421: No Need to Explain

"In other words..."

"I am also bearing your destiny."

The mortal arrogantly declared.

It’s not just those Monster Girls that intertwine with my fate.

The Divine, are the same.

You, too!

These words are rather presumptuous.

Even if the sharp edge is restrained, they still amount to disrespect towards the Divine.

Though the thoughts of the Divine and mortals differ, the sentiment conveyed by these words is the same.

Arrogance.

To presume, as a mere mortal, to shoulder the fate of the Divine Spirit.

Truly arrogant.

Especially if one delves deeper into the hidden meaning behind these words, it can be said to be audaciously reckless.

You, are reliant on me.

As allies, Herbert did not place himself in a subordinate position due to strength, but positioned himself completely as a collaborator.

If one delves even deeper, he even saw the Divine Spirit as the side being aided.

If these words reached others’ ears, it wouldn’t even be called arrogance anymore.

But hubris, even madness.

The ravings of a fool.

This is the babble of mortals.

An utterly groundless innocent fantasy.

Deluding oneself into thinking they are the "savior" of the Divine Spirit.

Throughout the history of this world, people like this are actually not rare.

They are ignorant madmen, overestimating their value to the Divine, thinking they are indispensable.

But truly, these people are nothing more than pawns casually picked up from the chessboard by the Divine, toyed with and tossed aside whimsically.

Foolish and pitiful.

The greatest happiness for a person is accepting who they really are with tranquility.

Contentment brings happiness.

And the greatest sorrow for a person is failing to truly realize their own ability.

Insatiable greed.

The more one overestimates their ability and worth, the more they suffer from repeated failures due to their own insignificance.

However, fortunately, Herbert feels he can still see himself clearly.

Even if analyzed from the most objective perspective, Herbert would still not underestimate his worth.

He is not some mad fool speaking nonsense.

He is very important.

His value is very high.

Especially for the Sun Goddess, who is on the verge of being assimilated by order, his value as a variable outside the Rules is exceptionally high!

He is aware of his true worth to the Sun God; his words are not exaggeration but truth.

In this collaboration, rather than "Herbert needing to borrow the influence of the Sun Goddess," it’s more about "the Sun Goddess needing more help from Herbert."

The one truly profiting is not Herbert, but the Sun Goddess.

Herbert is the MVP!

The Sun Goddess is the one who wins effortlessly!

Unless I start the fight, she insists on picking the fruit when I’m about to win... ahem!

Moreover, when Herbert mentioned this now, he really did it just as a random thought, not intending to explain more to the Divine.

He doesn’t intend to use this to demand more help.

No need.

Some things do not need to be argued over; the facts are enough to prove everything.

No matter how eloquent the words, they are not as good as actually doing it once.

Only by truly proving one’s value with actions can cooperation partners truly regard you differently.

No need to explain.

Do not attempt to prove your value with words.

Do not speak, just act.

Then Herbert smiled, shook his head jollily, and chuckled, "If I say like this, wouldn’t it be interesting?"

"Anyway, this thing called destiny really is magical."

"Whether us mortals or you Divines overlooking the world, none can escape from it, all are part of it."

He pretended as if he was just making a casual joke and changed the topic: "Haha, I’m just joking..."

But before he finished, Herbert heard a calm response.

["Mm."]

That voice, plain yet cold, as if too lazy to open the mouth, just hummed from the nose.

"...Mm?"

What did she say?

Another hum?

What, you’re really a hum hum monster?

Can’t you say anything else? You... wait.

No.

The Divine’s response made the mortal, trying to change the topic, suddenly freeze his pretend expression.

This means—the Sun Goddess agreed with Herbert’s words.

She acknowledged that Herbert, as a mere mortal, had taken on her destiny.

"...Hiss."

Originally intending to skip over this topic, Herbert blinked in surprise: "You... you actually don’t deny this?"

The Sun Goddess’ predictable reaction made Herbert perplexed.

Doesn’t she care about it at all?

So calmly admitting her "weakness."

Don’t you want face?

Aren’t you proud?

The Divine seemed to understand the bewilderment in the young man’s eyes, unchanged in expression, said indifferently: ["There’s no reason to deny it."]

The mortal is arrogant, but the Divine’s arrogance is above his!

["You seem to have forgotten who I am."]

The Divine, with an even more arrogant attitude, glanced down at the mortal below, saying lightly: ["I am Alberta."]

With no additional explanation, the Divine simply stated her name.

And upon hearing this, Herbert trembled, instantly understanding everything.

No need to explain.

Just this one name is enough to dispel all doubt.

!!!

She reiterated once more, watching the youth’s slightly trembling eyes, saying calmly: ["Alberta."]
