No matter how hard I try, not a single ripple appears in the sea.

No, I am the ocean, and it is common sense that there would be no currents in the ocean unless there was wind or temperature differences.

But there were times when I moved.

When you are away for a while, something happens that you crush and kill.

Maybe it’s the difference between inside and outside the fishbowl?

Am I full in this fishbowl and just looking beyond the wall that I can’t get over?

I have a feeling that this is the very bottom, so it’s highly unlikely.

Going up is heavy and difficult, but falling down is easy.

As I sorted out my memories, I felt like I had become smarter, so I looked back.

As I was spending my time like that, a thread slowly came down from above.

in the end!

oh.

iced coffee.

That thing. It doesn’t reach me.

The distance is too far. It’s twinkling towards that huge light floating far above.

Even if it is a floating light, it is like another planet seen from the Earth of faded memories.

Twinkle twinkle.

Who are you kidding? What’s that shining thing?

It’s annoying that it won’t even reach me, so I wish you’d just ask quickly. Why are you just sitting there pretending not to know?

Pretend not to know?

No. I know because I’ve been down there. I know how greedy they are for light. They won’t miss the chance to climb up, to get light that’s easy to get, just like Daegon did.

That’s really invisible.

Then why is it only me that you can see it? Are you trying to make fun of me?

Is my identity that widely known? The second world. Should I somehow go to the place where the gods live and break the glass bottles?

no.

wait for a sec.

This seems to be calling Daegon. A light signal that only Daegon can see. A phone number that only certain people can receive.

Of course, that’s right. The subordinates have finally finished preparing for the descent, so all they have to do is go, but if someone says, “Hehe! There’s a seat!” and sneaks in and takes the seat, I will do whatever it takes to make them regret being alive.

So I made a way that only I could see. So that when someone summoned me, I could know right away and leave. And so that no one else could know.

It’s right there in front of me.

But everything is too much for me to reach. I don’t have enough resources to get down to the bottom.

however.

What if I could impersonate Daegon?

Isn’t it the same as swallowing up everything in Daegon and taking its place?

So, it’s not me, but it’s like Daegon is holding Daegon’s stuff.

I caught the thin thread that was lowered to the floor.

Of course, I couldn’t do it in one go, but I tried tens of thousands of times because I still had a faint feeling of the thread being touched.

Swish!

A feeling of being pulled upwards.

and

I opened my eyes.

“Hahahahaha! You are too late, intruder! He has already descended! He is the merciful god who watches from the inaccessible depths of eternity, who gives us infinite treasures of gold and silver, and grants everyone the right to become his servant! Dagon, bless us!”

In front, a fishman between a man and a fish holds a staff and shouts. Around him, fishmen with huge stakes stuck in their necks lie in a circle, endlessly chanting spells as they die.

And the entrance to the room.

A girl is holding an iron cane and looking up at me with a desperate expression.

It is as tall as ten people standing up. It has a fish head attached to a human body, gills on its body, webbed arms and legs, and a long tail that resembles a mix of fish and shark extends from below its sacrum.

This is my first time entering the body of a giant like this.

So, what is most needed at this point?

yes.

It’s information.

Until now, I had been summoned to the location below and had no choice but to move around while keeping an eye on the summoner’s mood.

Because of that, I tend to act passively.

For the first time, I was given a choice. Before my eyes were the summoner and his minions, who mistook me for Dagon. And a girl who seemed to have come here alone to stop him.

If the girl was alone and holding something like a gun, I would think she was a fleeing victim.

In his right hand he holds a crowbar dripping with blood and bodily fluids, and in his left he holds a nail with strange characters written on it.

It’s the expression of a person who is forcing his legs to stand before collapsing in fear, his eyes rolling as he tries to find a way to survive.

A person who has the courage to face fear.

The third world is unique.

So, let’s say hello.

“Hello, but I’m not Dagon.”

Just tell me the truth. This is not the way a giant in human form speaks, but it’s hard to change my speech now.

This is me shivering from the cold, going crazy, but I couldn’t go crazy, so I begged and begged to die, and I begged until I could see the end of eternity, and now even my thoughts have become colored and I can’t turn back.

This is an indelible scar.

Anyway, the voice is surprisingly high and shrill, but I guess that’s because fish are sometimes bisexual or can change gender.

Stop.

Then suddenly, all the heads of the fishmen who were reciting the spell around them fell off, and the spell was interrupted.

Oh, I know this.

The order itself has security settings so that if you don’t introduce yourself properly, your summons will be canceled immediately.

He sets a rule that he must explain himself as a god, and if he does not do so, it is considered as if he never existed.

Not a bad way to do it.

First, I wave my hand and sweep away the surrounding dead bodies before their warmth disappears. Freshly dead bodies often retain light and warmth.

I got information and warmth.

“Wow, you who descended into the body of our god! If you grant my wish, I will follow you even if you are not Dagon! Bring us safety! Dagon promised so, if you are greater than Dagon, make a contract to do so!”

oh.

I like the quick cut-off and the ability to make a new contract with the target in front of you. It wouldn’t be bad to play as a fish race this time.

If there’s a problem though.

Bam!

The point is that my head flew away.

Daegon does not forgive betrayal. He uses various devices to prevent those who trust him enough to call him from having different thoughts.

I’ve already looked at the memory in its entirety before.

But it doesn’t come out right away, it’s something you find out after something happens and you go, “Oh, that’s it,” so it’s quite uncomfortable.

Is the problem that I’m not that smart…?

I grabbed the head of the fish that was thrown out.

Crush to gain warmth, lick light to gain memories.

This is the 36th century according to the universal calendar of this world.

But the lifestyle around here is, by worldly standards, only 19th century.

Since the fisherman is marine, it can only be seen from the sea, but the ships are basically all made of wood.

However, magic is common here. You can see ships floating in the sky instead of on water, and you can also see solitary wizards and magical creatures flying around.

If you look at the port that the fishermen are plundering, it is similar to the 19th century, but the difference is that instead of guns, magic is flying.

When the fishermen invaded with a large biological weapon they had been raising, I remember seeing something like a steamship come out and shoot something like an electromagnetic cannon, so I can infer the general level of science and technology of the navy… … .

It feels like a world that is a little more developed than the first world.

So I prepared it in a hurry.

This race, called Sa-Hagin here, is a life form originally planted by Daegon. They are the vanguard sent to other worlds when Daegon was invading many worlds.

As a bridgehead, it is first spread out and dominates the surrounding area. When the world is properly cooked, it is the role of calling in Daegon and offering it.

Just as there was a sect wherever Daegon went, was there a group that strong here too?

no.

I was simply defeated by nature. The bioweapon I made with the technology I received from Daegon was eaten by wild animals, and even if I escaped to the sea where it was easy to move around, there were more powerful wild animals in the deep sea.

Eventually, the invading force became one of the barbarian factions, living hesitantly somewhere on the coast and the water where such monsters did not come.

Those are them.

A tribesman who believes in the ancient gods.

Since we are a race that basically practices religious politics, it is inevitable that we will end up like a cult.

But since they had the skills, they shouldn’t have degenerated into mere savages.

The advanced resource for using powerful technologies or abilities is the soul of a creature with a certain level of intelligence, and the easiest material to obtain is a person.

It’s like we live in an oil-based civilization, but there’s no oil.

You have to get the resources, but if you just go, you’ll get beaten and lose.

So we came up with a radical strategy.

Taking advantage of the navy’s slow mobility compared to that of the fishermen, they simultaneously pillage all the villages in the area to obtain resources and return home.

But, with the optimism of a religious society, they committed the act, thinking that if they called on God, he would do something.

I guess heroes can emerge from anywhere.

Who would have guessed that a human girl who was captured to be used as a resource would suddenly awaken, break through all security, loot important items while she was at it, assassinate important people of the fishermen one by one, and then finally come to stop the advent of the gods?

However, this person was competent.

He even managed to summon Daegon. He prepared perfectly, and he survived the human girl who transformed into a butcher and brought down a god.

The problem is that Daegon has already disappeared, and has stolen his place and appeared here.

A human girl glares at me, looking around, wondering if I’m not the dangerous god Dagon, and wondering if I’m going to kill him.

It’s scary.

“What should I do if the patient dies without permission?”

The girl blinked with an expression that said, “Are you asking me?” She paused for a moment and then said,

“If I go back?”

I’m afraid to reveal my true colors right away in my answer.

Is this the high school girl I heard about through rumors?

So I said this.

“I don’t want to go home.”

The girl looks up at me with an extremely puzzled expression.
