Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Chapter 868 - 437: Can Gods Love?

No...

It’s not just the dying words of this Grand Mage Furry Enthusiast, but more like the last will of the whole Elf Empire to the world.

They once fought.

They succeeded.

The elves ruled over this world more thoroughly than those dragons who only loved gold and silver treasures.

They once occupied the sky, the land, the sea; every corner of the world was covered by their footprints.

They wielded great power.

Not only did they create terrifying weapons, but they also applied this power to every aspect of life, allowing every citizen of the Elf Empire to enjoy the same glory.

They once existed and should have etched profound marks in the history of the entire world.

But in the end, they also failed.

Countless victories led the elves astray, the ever-growing greed made them misjudge their limits.

Ultimately, it guided them to an irretrievable end.

In the end, they chose their own fate.

Groveling? Fleeing in disgrace?

That should not be the end for a proud race.

The seeds representing the future could leave, they did not enjoy that glory, nor did they need to be entangled in the splendors past.

However, these fruits that were borne on this tree watered by desire had to remain.

"The Divine are indifferent."

In the end, Elvis appeared supremely rational and calm.

"They guided everything, deliberately leading us to destruction."

"And this won’t be the first time they’ve done it, nor will it be the last."

"In the eyes of those beings, we mortals never qualified to steal even a tiny bit of their power."

"Even if they willingly granted power, in their view we are nothing but thieves, just pests to be exterminated."

"Hahaha!"

"Yes, just pests!"

"We are just pests! Hahaha..."

In the past, the elves’ calm facade was torn apart, and they laughed wildly.

Now, the young man listened quietly, eyes slightly downcast.

"Hehe."

He partially agreed with Elvis’s words, but also partially dissented.

Different standpoints yield different conclusions.

Limited by individual perspectives, limited by the characteristics of an era, the perspectives of past people that could be passed on to future generations were actually few.

As a man on the verge of destruction, Elvis’s views inevitably carried biases; his attitude towards the Divine was inherently hostile.

As for his words, they were proven wrong not long after in the Era of Faith — not all Divines harbored hostility towards mortals.

At the end of the Ancient God Era, some Divines chose to grant their power to the mortals who once groveled on the ground, allowing them to achieve great feats and become new Divines.

If one could say the Ancient God Era belonged to the Divines,

then the Era of Faith belonged to both mortals and Divines.

And, if you say all Divines are bad...your dear Master of Nature kindly preserved your last spark!

Moreover, have you seen a Divine?

Have you truly conversed with Them? Established a deep friendship with Them?

With no experience, you just assume things here.

I’ve seen Them!

I’ve talked! And am talking!

["Hehe~"]

The divine within his heart chuckled, with a proud tone, softly laughing beside the mortal’s ear.

["It seems someone is very dissatisfied with someone else’s words?"]

["However, his words weren’t entirely wrong; the earliest Divines of this world were indeed like that~"]

"And you?"

["Me?"]

The Harmonious God hummed twice, smiling proudly: ["Of course, I’m different from Them! How could They compare to someone as understanding as me, a ’good woman’?"]

["Oh, by the way, speaking of ’good woman,’ I am a good woman, right?"]

Pausing deliberately on a certain word, in a very sweet and coquettish tone, He asked: ["Darling~ don’t you think so?"]

Good woman?

Uh...

Why does this sound so sour?

And there’s such a strong murderous intent.

Wasn’t it just a little teasing with Kreti back then? Why take it so seriously?

"Yes, yes, of course you are!"

Without a second of hesitation, Herbert promptly responded: "No matter what others think, in my heart, you are undoubtedly a good woman."

If it weren’t for Nenasha, Herbert still wouldn’t know where to be.

Maybe, he’d just be starting to adapt to resisting Valentina’s pressure.

"...You’re jealous?"

["No~ Hehe, why would I be jealous of that little one? Wouldn’t you agree?"]

Herbert faintly heard the sound of teeth grinding and decided immediately not to pursue the matter further.

But if he backed off here, he wouldn’t be Herbert.

A moment’s reckless joy is pure satisfaction.

Continuous reckless joy is continuous satisfaction!

So, Herbert’s mouth twitched and, recklessly, he asked:

"Well, ahem, I noticed you didn’t mind such trivial matters before...why such a big reaction now?"

Nenasha: ?

Are you even human with this question?

Are you human?

Don’t you damn well know the reason?

["Before was before, now is now."]

Who was I before? Who were you before?

Miss Xie Shen couldn’t act in person right now, or else she would’ve given Herbert a physical iron fist.

Damn it, give you a punch!

But now, all He could do was powerless rage, pouting and muttering: ["And! I said I wasn’t angry! Not at all!"]
