Who is it that awakens me?
The king of whales whoās been living for 10000 years.
The day for me to swallow the world has yet to come.
The light of the world burns me.
My eyes are rotting away.
It is sickening to only feel pain in darkness.
My bodyā¦..seems to have nothing but bones.
My strength has yet to return.
The me before I sleep would have regenerated before I felt any discomfort.
It is still too early for me to wake after all.
However, to sleep again is a sin.
I would have to hunt down appropriate people to regain my strength.
Even in this state, there are only a few who can harm me.
There is no need to be frightened.
I will regenerate my eyes.
Damn, the light is still as loathsome as ever.
It reigns over the heavens as if it owns it.
Someday, I will swallow that star too.
The little ones are swarming here as always.
They are flocking together.
And they are under the illusion that they have power.
You are all fools, ungrateful fools.
I wonāt even bother slaughtering them since they are all too weak butā¦.
Itās for the sake of my own rebirth.
Just as I was thinking that, I was attacked.
Who is it that pierced through my defenses?
No, I donāt even need to look.
It should be a lizard(ancient dragon)!
It must have noticed me and rushed over here.
Usually, you guys should be alone, right?
You donāt act in groups because each one has a big territory.
So, why are there so many of you here?
No wayā¦..have I been lured?
Were they planning to awaken me to destroy me?
D-donāt underestimate me too much!
First, strengthen my defense.
I will not allow you to trap me!
I will never forgive you!
ā¦ā¦.but I think itās also important to talk about things.
Yeah, arenāt you being a little too restless?
It is true that I am in a war against ancient dragons but that was probably your ancestors.
Itās not good to inherit grudges.
I do not wish to antagonize you either.
No, I thought about it for a while and then, changed my mind.
I donāt think we have any reason to fight.
Donāt you knowĀ love and peace?
Why are you so persistent in attacking me?
Ah, I see, is it because this is your territory?
Then, Iāll leave this place.
It doesnāt matter either way, just stop attacking!
Wave attacks are painful!
Thereās no meat on it so itās broken in plain sight!
Donāt target the broken part!
You wonāt stop attacking no matter what?
It seems you have made me serious.
Iām about to change my form so donāt get in my way!
You really have no manners!
Since it has come to this, my servants!
Reinforcement, reinforcementĀ please!
If you come, I promise to treat you better!
You will no longer be a throw away pawn or anything!
Canāt you at least react!
Donāt tell me youāve already been destroyed!
All of my million kins covering the heavens?
No, no, what is impossible is for me to wake up early.
Considering that, was everything prepared for my destruction?
No wonder my kins have all been destroyed!
Does that mean I am doomed?
Maa, the ancient dragons are like demigods.
And there are a lot of them here.
Isnāt it strange for me to be destroyed?
This is too much even for me.
I wouldnāt be the whale king if I would give up with just this!
And then, whatever tens of thousands of years I may sleep, I will store up my power again and swallow the world!
First, Iāll force myself to transform again even if they are attacking me!
Have the divided armor attack the ancient dragons!
Yeah, I know that wonāt be enough to defeat them!
I have to chase after them!
I made it look like Iām going to pursue them and when the dragons braced themselves, I made most of my body explode and escape!
Itās a waste to blow up my body but if I donāt do so, Iāll just be destroyed!
Besides, the plan will only be effective if I throw them away.
The ancient dragons now lost me.
Well, Iām currently about the size of a personās head.
Moreover, I look like a piece of bone.
I canāt be identified because I had my body explode.
I lay on the ground and pretended to be an explosion debris.
The dragonsā¦ā¦did not find me.
All I have to do now is hide!
Just when I thought of that, I was caught by someone.
No, I was caught by a beak.
I checked the owner of the beak.
This is something that canāt hurt me even if Iām in this state.
There is no need to fear.
The owner of the beak was a phoenix.
It is capable of destroying me even if Iām not in this state!
Have you joined forces with the ancient dragons!
If it eats me, Iāll die.
My existence will disappear!
I wonder if my wish was heeded.
The phoenix did not eat me but threw me away.
Iām glad Iām saved but why arenāt you pecking me?
Could it be that you donāt want to eat me because I taste bad?
No, I donāt want to be eaten.
However, it licked before it threw me awayā¦..
ā¦..I donāt really need any feedback.
It will break my heart so donāt.
Ehto, so Iām going to escape, are you going to chase me?
I can see that this phoenix grabbed me by its talons and is bringing me somewhereā¦..ah, to the little ones that are flocking.
Is it trying to display me or something?
No, I donāt think a phoenix would do that.
Then, what are you going to do?
Thereās a man with the power of god over there.
And Iām to be judged by him?
I was placed before the oneā¦.who has the power of god.
Three heads and six arms?
This three headed, six-armed figure must be some kind of remnant of some kind of the evil god.
This means I can gather information about when I was still sleeping.
I donāt think we can understand each other unless you translate for us.
Also, youāve suddenly become smaller, why?
In any case, I have come this far so I will not resist in vain.
I just want to make my point before I am judged.
Thatās why I need an interpreterā¦ā¦
This isnāt the time to be eating that delicious looking fish!
Also, donāt leave bones clean!
Even the bones are delicious!
If you donāt like them as they are, grill them or somethingā¦ā¦
I donāt know whatās happening but Iām to be worshiped in a mountain shrine near Village Five.
Why are they treating me as the whale god?
No, I have no objection to that treatment butā¦..
If youāre going to ask me if Iām on the good or evil side, I should be on the evil side.
I donāt feel bad about being worshiped so Iāll be quiet.
You donāt need to do anything unnecessary.
I think Iāll spend most of my time sleeping.
However, canāt you do something about the occasional visit of the ancient dragons?
I understand that their purpose is not me but the place where dragons are worshiped butā¦..
I canāt just feel at ease.
Dragons: Surround it, surround it!
Whale: Donāt you have hearts?
Aegis: I found something.
Village Chief: Good good good
