the thick tail sliced through the air in a crimson arc, cleanly severing the serpent’s tail like a crescent moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, ancient runes along Herbert’s spear blazed with silver light, surging with holy power, forcing the God of Lust to abandon its disdain and defend itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina crossed her claws and raked the winged serpent; a flash of cold light tore through its scales, ripping open a massive gash that exposed its internal organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before that wound could heal, the dragon’s chest heaved violently—its scorching breath ignited in zero frame, blasting straight into the freshly torn chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He… tui!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert did not pause after hurling the spear—he drew the staff strapped at his waist, wielding it like a sword, holy light exploding from his entire body as he swung it forward with full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blade of golden light followed the same path, streaking toward the god’s wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine!

instead, they complemented each other perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not mere synergy forged through countless drills—it was as if they were truly one being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the spectators’ praise of “as one being” was no exaggeration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert and Valentina’s current state could rightly be called soul-unified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their souls merged, understanding each other’s intentions without a word, reducing communication delay to absolute zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They no longer needed to tell each other what to do—they simply acted in perfect unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not a miracle born of “love and friendship.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor was it special aid granted by the Sun Pope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, even now, Herbert had not used any power bestowed upon him by the Sun Pope—he had merely activated his own innate talent to channel Valentina’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right—his innate talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The legendary innate talent unique to Herbert!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon ascending to legendary status, every newly minted legendary awakens their own legendary innate talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as a paladin, Herbert’s awakened ability was not the conventional one—summoning celestial beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps due to Nienasha, or perhaps because he had dealt with so many monster girls,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert’s awakened ability was one most would consider useless—【Control Monsters】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a druid commanding animals or a mermaid controlling sea fish, he gained a unique ability similar to 【Control Wild Animals】, 【Control Marine Life】, or 【Dominate Legendary Demons】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this ability did not grant full control over monsters—it allowed him to “borrow” their power through their bond with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when a monster fully lowered its guard and trusted him completely could he fully wield its strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any trace of distrust would severely weaken the power, causing significant loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even legendary or epic druids could not guarantee such deep bonds with all their animal companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by signing an extremely strict contract—binding both parties never to betray or harm each other—could such a bond be remotely possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even then, finding a monster willing to be so controlled was exceedingly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These obstacles were impossible for others—but for Herbert, they were no obstacles at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it hard to find a suitable monster?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not hard at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just look around my home—there are legendaries and epics everywhere, and they’re all ultra-rare “glow-pokemon”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would a legendary paladin feel embarrassed by the title 【Monster Controller】?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for emotional bonds… that’s even less of an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who worry about it simply lack sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lack sincerity, and you’ll never receive sincerity in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, Herbert, have always treated others with honesty, exchanging true heart for true heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If my emotions are genuine enough, how could the monster girls refuse my request to borrow their power or control their bodies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course not a problem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in a sense, for Herbert, this still relied on the power of “love and friendship” between him and the monster girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of shock, the God of Lust regained composure;
