Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Besides, Fulingya’s warning about the Earth Pantheon is very important for ordinary people, even life-saving, but it’s not very valuable to Herbert.

I heard they want to find me?

And want to locate my hiding place?

Seriously?

Not to mention the worth of the Mist Mountain Range as a Divine Forbidden Area, just the Monastery guarding the perimeter has a famished old creature...

Hey, what a coincidence.

The Archbishop has always hoped someone would deliver themselves as a punching bag.

If the Earth Pantheon really follows the prophecy and tracks down here, things will become interesting!

If you’re a good brother, come and strike me!

We’ve agreed, whoever doesn’t come is a puppy!

Herbert hopes to see the Earth Pantheon come enthusiastically and then get beaten up by an invincible Deng.

That scene must be exciting!

By then, better have the snacks prepared ahead.

Herbert imagines the scene, then shakes his head and sighs lightly.

"Still not enough strength, relying on others is ultimately not the right path; still need to be strong enough myself."

If he had Saint Level strength now, he wouldn’t need to rely on the Archbishop to use borrowed power, and could directly challenge the Earth Pantheon.

"I need strength, Fulingya needs it even more. If He could have the power of the Master of Nature now, there would be no problems."

Strength is the foundation to solve all problems.

Don’t say achieving the full power of the Master of Nature; as long as Fulingya could have half of His father’s power back then, the Natural Pantheon would have no issues internally.

It’s because of insufficient strength that He’s watched and bullied like a soft persimmon.

But the problem is He doesn’t have it; not only is His strength insufficient to convince others, His prestige is completely dependent on His father. Calling Him a puppet pushed by others would be an understatement, just a pretty yet fragile vase.

"According to Fulingya’s previous words, only the Four Seasons Goddesses are absolute direct descendants in the current Natural Pantheon; others have various degrees of dissent."

The Natural Pantheon encompasses a lot, with many weak Divines whose strength isn’t high. Most of these people are fence-sitters, best at benefiting from both sides.

The entire pantheon is aware of Fulingya’s current situation, and even some staunch supporters are starting to have dissent, potentially colluding with the Earth Pantheon secretly.

These people are not to be relied on; they’ll support whoever wins, not creating trouble is already good.

Luckily, the Four Seasons Goddesses are old Ancient Gods, not only highly ranked but also powerful, suppressing some people’s unrest, and maintaining the pantheon’s surface calm.

"But even those four Goddesses are restricted and can’t help Him too obviously, only providing indirect support."

The Four Seasons Pantheon is not weak, and the Earth Pantheon is equally formidable. If a direct conflict breaks out, it won’t end easily.

So, the high-end powers on both sides tacitly avoid striking first, leaving the stage to the leaders in the open.

Thus, all the pressure falls on Fulingya, who can only rely on Himself and the forces He develops to bear it.

But the result... Fulingya has been the acting Master of the Pantheon for so many years, how much personal force has He developed?

It’s pitifully little, the silence of men and the tears of women, heartbreaking to hear.

"External troubles and internal worries, irresponsible old father, shattered self, tsk tsk tsk, truly pitiful..."

After analyzing Fulingya’s current predicament, Herbert couldn’t help but shake his head and lament, thinking it’s already quite responsible of Him not to quit.

For Fulingya, this predicament is easily solvable.

Just giving up the Master of the Pantheon position and letting the Natural Pantheon be led by the Earth Pantheon, He could go hidden beautifully and possibly even gain a good position.

After all, no one can deny the correctness and legitimacy of Him being the descendant of the Master of Nature, the Earth Pantheon needs Him to endorse them.

That so-called—this is my master’s intangible cultural heritage.JPG

But this is just the ideal solution, Fulingya currently doesn’t want to compromise like this, unwilling to hand over His father’s legacy to others, persistently holding on, planning to struggle and fight until the last moment.

Herbert is happy to see this.

After all, if not for the current situation, him wanting to get involved in the Natural Pantheon is virtually impossible.

If it’s that brainless rock-headed person Fulingya mentioned handling things, Herbert estimates he’d have no ties with the Natural Pantheon.

To say something with a bad heart, the worse Fulingya fares, the more He needs Herbert, the greater his value, the greater the benefits he derives.

The worse Fulingya gets, the better Herbert does.

Herbert not only has no reason to refuse, but he has to convince Fulingya to fight until the last moment, avoiding any scenario where "The minister wants to fight to the death, but the emperor surrendered first."

"From my standpoint, having Him as a naive and kind yet isolated partner is absolutely a good thing, something many dream of."

Moreover, setting aside all the gainful thoughts, Herbert also doesn’t want to see Fulingya suffer too miserable a fate.

"After all, I’m not a demon."

Herbert has always seen himself as a kind-hearted man.

"I’m kind-hearted; though I like watching women fight and pull each other’s hair, it doesn’t mean I enjoy seeing women suffer gruesome fates...tattered clothes are enough, but broken looks are out."
