Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

However, compared to the nervous Subaru and Rem, Merry was more surprised by what Erza said.

"Elsa, are you insane? Do you want to betray 'Mother'? You should know the consequences of doing so, we will all die!"

Was it because the previous mission failed? It's okay, as long as we kill these guys here this time, and then take down the silver-haired half-elf who has arrived, the mission will be completed.

If you complete the mission, 'Mother' will forgive your previous mistakes.

Upon hearing Elsa's plan to force her to become "mother," Melie clearly showed a look of horror, indicating that the role they called "mother" must be quite a powerful one.

At least in some way, this so-called "mother" must have left some terrifying memories for Melly, otherwise Elsa and Melly wouldn't be so afraid of each other.

"I don't want to continue being an assassin, or rather, I don't want to be an assassin who has no reason to live anymore."

But as long as I remain within the organization, I cannot escape the control of "Mother." Therefore, in order to break free from her control, I can only choose another force powerful enough to defeat her!

During her time with Wood, Elsa felt she had achieved a kind of redemption. She liked the feeling of being able to hunt intestines without falling into self-blame and nightmares.

However, after hearing what Elsa said, Mary felt that what Elsa said was completely unbelievable, and even thought that Elsa had some kind of leverage over Wood, or was under the influence of some kind of protective power.

"So the man beside you is what you call your new power?"

Can his power defeat "Mother" and help us break free from her control?

Looking at Wood beside Elsa, Melly showed a look of disdain. She had seen countless noble young masters like Wood.

To be honest, aside from being a bit better looking, Wood wasn't even as threatening as Subaru Natsuki in Mary's eyes at this moment.

With a wave of her hand, the huge black shadows that had been surrounding the village suddenly emerged from the shadows, revealing their ferocious appearances, and rushed directly towards Wood's location.

After all, it's a town on the border; any slightly stronger magical beasts would have been dealt with by Roswaal long ago.

The remaining magical beasts in the forest might be more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but against slightly stronger opponents, they would only be slightly better than ordinary weaklings.

Putting Wood aside for now, even Elsa or Rem could easily slaughter these magical beasts.

However, even the weakest Warcraft game, once it reaches a certain number of players, still has a considerable visual impact and deterrent effect.

Rem, holding a meteor hammer, shielded Subaru and the village children behind her. Elsa wanted to help Wood stop the monsters, but Wood stopped her from behind.

"Manipulating the power of magical beasts? That's quite a promising talent."

"Let me handle this myself. Since it's about recruiting subordinates, as the leader, I need to demonstrate enough strength to earn their respect."

The magical beasts controlled by Melly are mostly animal-shaped, among which the wolf-type monsters are the fastest runners. They have now rushed up to Wood and opened their foul-smelling, bloody mouths at him.

However, just as the wolf-like monster opened its massive jaws, preparing to bite off Wood's head and stare directly into his eyes, an intense sense of fear inexplicably enveloped his entire body, causing his hair to stand on end instantly.

While the intelligence of monsters is limited and cannot be compared to that of humans, as wild beasts, their ability to sense danger far surpasses that of humans.

Because of Meli's protective power, they, with their limited intelligence, were manipulated, but their ability to sense danger as living beings was not lost.

When the largest wolf-like monster came before Wood, it had already sensed the dangerous aura emanating from him.

"Has the instinct of a living being already sensed the danger? Unfortunately, it's too late."

Wood used neither magic nor any swordsmanship; he simply threw a seemingly ordinary punch...

"boom------!"

With a powerful punch, the shockwave instantly plowed a deep trench into the ground.

As for the giant wolf beast that had charged towards Wood, it was sent flying backward at near-sonic speed and crashed directly into the trunk of a large tree, instantly turning into a mangled mess.

Not far away, Meili was dumbfounded. Although she controlled nearly a hundred magical beasts, the giant wolf magical beast from before was the strongest among them.

Furthermore, in terms of size difference alone, Wood is nothing more than a shrimp compared to the giant wolf beast. Yet, despite such a large size difference, the beast was punched hundreds of meters away by Wood.

"Hmph, even if you're a top-tier fighter, with so many magical beasts here, I refuse to believe I can't wear you down!"

With a single punch, Wood sent the enormous monster flying over a hundred meters away, achieving a fatal blow. It has to be said that the strength Wood displayed still surprised Mary somewhat.

But the girl quickly regained her composure. So what if the opponent's combat power was off the charts? There were still quite a few magical beasts in the forest.

Even if Wood could defeat the monsters in front of her, she could easily control many more. She didn't believe Wood's stamina was inexhaustible and that he could keep going against her indefinitely.

After clearing her mind, Meili began to control a flying magical beast to carry her into the air, even leaving behind several of her strongest magical beasts to guard her.

Her strategy is now quite clear: use the large number of magical beasts in the forest to wear Wood down.

However, this tactic also has a rather obvious drawback, which is that as a "Beast Tamer", her own strength is a fatal weakness.

Judging from Wood's previous ability to create a sonic boom with a single punch and even instantly kill a monster, Melly deduced that Wood was a fighter of considerable skill.

As long as you maintain a safe distance from your opponent, no matter how strong a fighter is, they will eventually be worn down by the monster horde.

With her hovering in the air, Meli had already secured the high ground. Since a fighter wasn't a magician and lacked ranged attack capabilities and flight ability, she was now in an invincible position.

"What you said makes a lot of sense. Although the small fish are not difficult to deal with, the sheer number of them is indeed quite a headache."

Using powerful area-of-effect magic, like an insecticide, to wipe out all the magical beasts is not out of the question.

But this is a village; magic doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, so it's really not suitable to use here.

"Besides magic, the only way to eliminate large numbers of weaklings without harming friendly forces is to use that one trick."

"It might be a bit of a hassle for everyone here; you might need to take a nap."

At first, Subaru and the others didn't understand what Wood meant by what he was saying.

However, the next second, as Wood suddenly unleashed an invisible aura that spread outwards from him, Subaru and the others inexplicably felt a strong sense of dizziness.

"Thump thump thump!"

As the first massive monster collapsed, the rest of the monsters that had charged towards Wood collapsed to the ground one by one, like wheat being blown by the wind.

Not only the monsters, but also Subaru Natsuki, the ordinary people in the village, and even some livestock, all seemed to have lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

The entire village of Adam, whether ordinary villagers or the hundreds of magical beasts controlled by Melly, was now lying on the ground like corpses, unconscious.

The only people who could stand were Wood himself, Elsa the Bowel Hunter, and Rem.

Even the two of them felt a strong wave of dizziness when Wood unleashed that strange aura.

When they came to their senses, they were shocked to find that only a few of them remained standing in front of them!

"What on earth did you just do...?"

Mary slowly crawled out from under the bird-shaped monster, her expression filled with fear as she looked at Wood.

"Interesting. Although I didn't use my full strength, I didn't expect you to be able to maintain your consciousness under my Conqueror's Haki."

"Because he's a Beast Tamer, although his body is weak, his mental strength is strong enough to withstand the impact of the domineering aura?"

Elsa and Rem were able to maintain their consciousness because their strength was reasonably good.

But if you remove the ability to control magical beasts, then Meryl is practically a weakling in combat. Yet she withstood Wood's Conqueror's Haki attack with even more ease than Elsa and the others, which surprised Wood quite a bit.

However, while Merry herself withstood the Conqueror's Haki, the giant bird monster she had just ridden could not.

Due to her poor physical abilities, Mary even broke her leg during the fall from the height.

Chapter 347 Assassination of the Assassination Organization Leader 'Mother'

(Sorry, sorry, I had writer's block today, so I forgot to update again...(▽｀))

Now, when Mary looked at Wood slowly walking towards her again, her eyes were filled with fear.

Previously, Mary's confidence in challenging Wood stemmed from her belief in the hundreds of magical beasts, but now, for unknown reasons, all of these beasts have lost consciousness.

When she saw Wood conjure an ice blade and kill unconscious monsters along the way, Melie was truly terrified.

"She was simply unaware of your strength before, and the fear instilled in her by 'Mother' was too profound."

There aren't many assassins with the power of "Blessing," and besides, she's so young; she's definitely worth training.

Elsa, seeing Wood approaching Mary with his ice blade in hand, pleaded frantically.

She hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

She originally brought Wood to find Mary in the hope that Mary, who had not yet committed any sins, could be saved by Wood's power and get rid of "Mother".

Unexpectedly, instead of saving Mary, she lost her life.

As Wood drew ever closer, fear finally showed on Mary's innocent face. Although her legs were broken from the fall, she still used her arms to support herself as she retreated.

At this moment, Wood was no different from the most terrifying demon in Mary's eyes. She could only seek enough security by constantly increasing the distance between herself and him.

Unfortunately, with both legs broken, Mary's crawling speed was obviously not as fast as Wood's walking speed.

When Wood walked up to Melly with the ice blade stained with the blood of a monster, she closed her eyes in fear.

Elsa watched Wood approach Meryl and quietly gripped the scimitar hidden in her cloak, but ultimately let go.

Elsa longed to save Mary just as she had saved the slave children before, but the difference in strength between her and Wood was simply too great.

And strictly speaking, this matter can't be blamed on Wood; it's all Mary's fault for overestimating herself.

As an assassin, he couldn't even distinguish the most basic difference in strength between himself and his enemy.

"Saint-level Healing Magic - Song of Healing!"

Wood walked up to Melly and slowly opened his blood-stained right hand towards her. Just when everyone thought Wood would use magic to kill the loli monster user in front of him, a phantom of a goddess slowly appeared behind Wood.

The illusory goddess held a harp, as if singing, accompanied by bursts of holy light. Melie, who had closed her eyes and was waiting for death, soon felt a gentle aura enveloping her.

The expected pain did not occur; instead, a beautiful harp melody reached my ears…
