CHAPTER 372: CHAPTER 226: JUDGMENT, ANNIHILATION OF A NATION, DEVOURING THE WHALE

...

Within the Whale Terrarium, Cezar silently gazed at the empty sea surface, then turned back and entered the Imperial Palace, walking for a while before slowly stopping in front of the King’s bedroom.

He approached the bedside, bowed his head in silence for a long time, then slowly lifted his gaze from beneath his forehead hair, glancing at the old King lying peacefully on the sickbed.

"Farewell, Father."

With those words spoken, the Phoenix silently dropped a fiery feather, and the luxurious bed ignited in flames.

....

....

Ten minutes later, in the Real World, torrential rain poured down, relentless winds battered the sea, and moonlight was obscured by thick clouds of accumulated rain.

The two-meter form of Yaguba flew out from the open Whale’s Mouth, gliding through the storm-tossed ocean, carrying a youth with white hair and blue eyes on its back.

"Can you really eat it?!" Cezar shouted, his voice penetrating the heavy rain and falling into the Shark’s ears.

"Who do you think you’re looking down on? Shark Shark is much bigger than it now," Yaguba grumbled. "A thousand-year-old whale with no natural enemies, living in luxury and not knowing the danger it faces. If Shark Shark can’t eat it, then it’s truly embarrassing—no, truly big Shark shame!"

"Today certainly is surprising; never thought before that Yaguba could be so formidable."

"It’s not a surprise, it’s a big whale meal!"

Yaguba shouted loudly, let out a howl, and its body gradually expanded amid the storm, transforming into an enormous creature three hundred meters long. At that moment, the raging storm seemed to halt in awe of its arrival.

It raised a deep, unfathomable trench in the sea, wrapped in waves like a Tsunami, ultimately crashing into the rear of the Legendary Whale at the port!

Yaguba opened its bloody mouth, and in that moment, its jaws expanded, engulfing the entire body of the Legendary Whale, head to tail, into it. The whale thrashed like a struggling beast, flapping its tail against the giant Shark’s throat, but its body still slid uncontrollably inside.

Finally, only a lingering whale cry echoed from within the Shark’s belly, a sound so distant that it was hard to hear clearly.

Meanwhile, within its pupil, a huge prompt box was reflected.

[The last natural enemy—Legendary Whale "Chikanao" has been swallowed.]

[Estimated digestion time for the Legendary Whale—"Chikanao" is one month.]

Yaguba thought: "A whale over two hundred meters long. It’s unrealistic to digest it quickly; let it rest nicely inside my belly for a while."

"The last main mission for the Third Body is ’devour the Legendary Whale,’ precisely timed to complete a month later, just in time for the Salvation Society base’s grand battle."

"With Cezar’s help... we’ve gained another world-class combat strength. With Cezar’s talent, if trained outside for a month, reaching Catastrophe Level shouldn’t be a problem."

Thinking of this, it looked at the panel; the main missions for the Third Body were essentially completed.

Now we just have to wait for the Legendary Whale inside to be digested, and this body will reach its complete form.

Torrential rain poured down.

The white-haired youth stood atop the three-hundred-meter giant Shark, quietly watching the scene, slight surprise widening his lips, seeming both fearful and excited, for just moments ago he watched his country being swallowed whole by a Shark.

After a long time, he suddenly lifted the corner of his mouth, laughing loudly in the wind, with an open and honest smile. His slender body swayed, and the incoming wind and rain drenched his forehead hair.

"Yaguba, didn’t you say before that you had a very good friend trapped in a lab somewhere?" Cezar suddenly asked loudly.

"Of course, he’s still waiting for Shark Shark to rescue him."

Yaguba said and immediately shrunk its form countless times, once again transforming into an ordinary Shark three meters long, weaving through the black tides amidst the storm, thunder rumbling.

"Alright, then I’ll go with you to save him, just like you saved me," Cezar resolutely said.

Saying that, he turned to look at the distant sea behind him, at the islands of the Whale Terrarium scattered over the Northern Sea, still brightly lit on the islands.

"No... it’s not time yet. Not to mention that I don’t know where that lab is. Even if I did, rushing over with our current strength would be suicide."

Yaguba flew over sea and sky, gazing at the fjord city far in the distance, "I’m waiting for an opportunity."

"Is the opponent very strong?" Cezar asked curiously.

"Very strong, possibly among the strongest in the world," Yaguba paused. "Are you afraid?"

"I’m not afraid... I said, no matter what, I’ll stand by your side."

"Good, then let’s go find someone first."

"Who?"

"Gu Wenyu. Li Qingping asked me before to pass a little thing to him."

"Li Qingping’s friend..." Cezar muttered, "Then let’s go to China to find him, though I haven’t been there before, even though I’ve heard Li Qingping talk about it many times."

"Let’s head to China then, Shark Shark’s speed is faster than an airplane, we won’t take long to get there!" Yaguba said proudly. "It’s a good place, soon you’ll know why Li Qingping loves China so much."

"Sure, but how do you know where Gu Wenyu is in China?"

"Li Qingping gave me his address. With Shark Shark’s super strong sense of smell, it can pinpoint his location even from eighty thousand miles away."

Cezar lifted his head then lowered it, suddenly raising the corner of his mouth, "Let’s go, we’re off to China."
