Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 425 - 278 Taboo Domain (6K, Second Update)

But the problem is, what Svanni did was far from simple.

Herbert did not sense any fluctuations of Divine Skill, nor did he sense any fluctuations of Magic Power.

She was not recreating a body using her "own" flesh and blood, but rather regenerating a complete being from a "stranger’s" bone.

What does this imply?

It’s akin to the ancient legends of the previous life where God created Eve from one of Adam’s bones.

A miracle?

No, this is already a divine phenomenon.

In the Holy Scriptures of countless churches, most document stories of gods creating their own unique species.

In this world, only gods have the ability to create beings unique to them, unique creations.

And only they can wield the power over life and death.

In this world, the God of Death indeed exists.

Yet, in this world, the God of Death is powerful, but does not hold their power in high regard — or rather, they are quite laid-back.

The [God of Death] was a powerful Ancient God with High Tier Divine Power from its inception, but it was not obsessed with the matter of death.

As for the fate of souls, they have long seen them with indifference.

"All things will eventually return to an end."

"This is true for mortals, and for gods alike."

"When the end comes, all things become one."

They firmly believe this world will face destruction, just as it once faced creation at the very beginning.

The Death God is a highly passive pessimist,

They believe that since there is certainly a doomsday, everything that happens before then is totally meaningless.

"So, until the end arrives, feel free to struggle as you will."

Even before the birth of the faith in gods, they had already dispersed the exclusive powers of the Death God, leaving the gods to strive and divide the spoils amongst themselves...

Though, they still managed the normal operation of the Netherworld, ensuring the world wasn’t filled with roaming souls and flesh.

Beyond that, they were quite laissez-faire.

As long as you don’t bother me, if you want to die, then die, just don’t come nagging me.

The result was the rise of various racial Pantheons with their own Death Gods.

Like the Elf Pantheon’s [Thorn and Death Tree], the Dwarf Pantheon’s [God of the Forge and Death], the Human Pantheon’s [God of War and Death]...

Their power levels varied, but all claimed a part of the Death God’s authority.

And not only racial Death Gods, but other gods as well.

Before the Death God relinquished their power, transforming Legendary Heroic Spirits wasn’t so easy, you couldn’t just easily bring a Heroic Spirit to the Divine Kingdom.

At that time, angels of the gods had to compete with the Death God’s emissaries to claim souls!

Be aware, even then the Death God may not have given face.

Additionally, even with the Death God’s current apathetic waiting-for-death attitude, they have not relinquished control over [Resurrection Skill], it still requires significant cost.

The cost is so high that even gods cannot easily bear it—only those heroes and devotees they favor the most might be personally resurrected by them.

Resurrection is forever the greatest challenge in this world.

And now, what lies before us clearly involves the realm of divine entities in this world.

Not resurrection, but a semblance of resurrection!

An ordinary person, even just a Dark Elf at the Legendary Level, has already deciphered the foundational power of the divine realm?

To outsiders, this would sound extremely difficult, like something right out of a fantasy tale.

Yet, to those who understand, it wouldn’t be thought of as simple; instead, they would be even more shocked than the laypeople.

Outsiders see the excitement, insiders see the intricacies.

The closer to one’s expertise, the more people are shocked.

"..."

Herbert’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a decision formed in his mind.

This must never be known to the outside world.

If such a thing were to leak out, it would undoubtedly cause uproar, moving various races and forces deeply.

After all, this might mean a whole new power capable of changing the entire world. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

And since she had already ventured into the realm of divine entities unauthorized, from the perspective of the gods, this undoubtedly constitutes a form of blasphemy.

And what consequences does blasphemy against the divine bring?

Holy War.

The Divine Spirit Churches would launch a Holy War to protect the gods’ authority!

Just as they have done time and again in the past.

To fight for the sake of the gods.

As to whether doing so is right, it does not matter.

To the believers, the gods are above all.

They hear the divine oracle, they complete the mission.

To eliminate the person who created this knowledge, and completely seal this blasphemous knowledge, and spread various stories to entirely erase its historical existence.

Although Herbert had confidence in the Archbishop’s strength, firmly believing that a loss on his home ground against the ultra Old Deng was slim, he certainly did not want to attract any unwanted Holy War.

Better to have one less trouble.

What’s more, the thing Herbert really worried about attracting was not just the Divine Spirit Church...

If indeed it drew the attention of some idle deities, then things would become quite uninteresting.

The cascading silver hair flowed all the way down to the heels, drifting like a cobweb in the windless space, obscuring some hidden areas ahead—though Herbert truly thought it was unnecessary.

What is there to block?

I’ve witnessed everything personally, at this point, what is there to hide?

This feels like someone who has been breathless for half a year suddenly receiving CPR—totally unnecessary at this point!

The newly born Dark Elf’s face was exquisite yet slightly mysterious, with eyes tightly closed, awaiting the final awakening.

Even though this body had a heartbeat and could breathe normally, it was merely an empty shell, still lacking the most crucial element that makes it a living being.
