Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

The intrusion of the Archbishop of Sloth caused heavy losses to the Iron Fang and the Karlsten family. As an excellent commander, Crusch knew that if they continued to fight to the death, they would eventually be wiped out.

Therefore, he decisively issued a retreat order, preparing to return and make further plans before launching the next campaign.

The key point is that although the beluga whale is a magical beast, it also possesses extremely high intelligence.

The strongest of the three Warcraft III games is not a dungeon boss, not a character you can just farm at will or leave if you can't beat it.

The beluga whale, having regained air superiority, let out a loud whale cry and spewed out large amounts of white mist from its various exhaust vents...

"Quickly prepare special flares, that guy is going to use white fog to block our vision again." Looking at the white smoke screen spreading outwards from the white whale in the sky, Crusch hurriedly ordered his subordinates.

"But Lady Crusch, we don't have any more flares..."

Upon receiving the order, the team leader looked at Crusch with a troubled expression, explaining that the two-day-long battle had exhausted all their flares that could interfere with magic.

According to their original plan, these strategic supplies were more than enough to last until the White Whale was killed. But no one expected that a "High Priestess of Sin" from the Witch Cult would suddenly appear halfway through.

"Damn it! Everyone, listen to my command, mount your mounts, and get out of the White Whale's white mist's range as fast as you can."

Once trapped by the white mist of the beluga whale, escape would be impossible, so Crusch had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure: run as far as she could.

Crusch and the Iron Fang retreated, but this time the White Whale was clearly just as determined, with no intention of letting go of these humans who had just wanted to attack him.

So the billowing white mist surged outwards at an astonishing speed, and like a tidal wave, it rushed towards Crusch and Anastasia.

At the same moment, Natsuki Subaru and Sting, who were caught in the crossfire, happened to be in the area with their caravan. Just as they finished discussing their options and were about to split up, the spreading white mist enveloped them as well.

“Julius is such a despicable fellow, and Anastasia too…”

Subaru Natsuki was completely bewildered as Julius and Anastasia rode their earth dragons towards him from afar. At first, he thought that their trade plan had been discovered by the other party.

However, Poison Spike suddenly stepped forward from behind him and glared fiercely at Julius and Anastasia, angrily saying, "It's you bunch of bastards who provoked the Mist Beast and then ran over here to drag us down with you!"

Compared to Subaru Natsuki, who knew nothing, Sting and his gang, as seasoned veterans of the underworld, naturally knew what the white mist surrounding them was.

That's the Mist Whale, one of the three great magical beasts! It's said that once it sets its sights on someone, no one can escape its pursuit.

Judging from the traces left on the ground, Julius and his group were clearly prepared, but it seems that their attack failed. Now they are even luring the white whale, whose hatred level is at its maximum, towards them, causing them to be caught in the crossfire!

"We are truly sorry about this. We never expected that outsiders would pass by in a place like this."

As the best knight, Knight Julius still possesses virtues. Since it was indeed they who implicated Subaru Natsuki, he took the lead in apologizing.

Chapter 365 Is this the "boss's" sister?

"Is now the time to apologize? Instead of blaming each other, let's think about how to escape this predicament."

This was what Crusch said next: compared to the "Iron Fang" orcs who were more agile on the grasslands, her knights suffered even greater losses.

Upon seeing Natsuki Subaru and the others, he was momentarily stunned, but he indicated that now was not the time for infighting.

"Escape from the current predicament? Your Excellency makes it sound so easy. This is the Mist Beast, and I have never heard of anyone escaping from it."

Sting was furious. What was supposed to be a simple mission had turned into an encounter with the "Mist Beast." His luck was simply unbelievable.

“You must be quite skilled as well. Judging from your aura, you don’t seem to be an ordinary mercenary group.”

The "Mist Beast" you mentioned was just pushed to the brink of destruction by us. If it weren't for the intrusion of that great sin bishop from the Witch Cult, the White Whale might have already been defeated by us.

"The Witch Cult members will also be affected by the thick fog around the White Whale, and the White Whale itself bears the wounds from the recent battle, so we are not entirely without a chance."

Crusch could tell that, apart from Subaru Natsuki himself, the other members of Natsuki Subaru's caravan all possessed considerable strength and were not much weaker than the knights of the Karlsten family.

Moreover, fearing failure in their first collaboration, Elsa arranged for over a hundred assassins, including "Stinger," to act as her bodyguards, truly maximizing her prestige.

"You mean besides the 'White Whale of Mist,' even the infamous 'Witch Cult' is here..."

Upon hearing Crusch's words, Sting's expression clearly became even more unpleasant. If their assassination organization was a stinking rat that everyone hated, then the so-called "Witch Cult" was simply a disgusting maggot.

This is a group of truly insane people who even assassination organizations find troublesome; generally, nothing good ever comes of encountering them.

"I think it's more realistic to help you people get revenge before we escape the pursuit of the 'Mist Beast' and the 'Witch Cult'!"

If it were just the "Mist Beast," Poison Sting and his team would have found it extremely troublesome. Now, the other party has told them that in addition to the White Whale, there is also a mad witch cult here, and the other party is even a high-ranking archbishop!

All of this originally had nothing to do with them. The reason they are facing these problems now is mainly because of these guys in front of them.

Assassins who operate in the underworld are naturally arrogant, and now that they have suffered an undeserved disaster, Sting and his crew will not be polite to Crusch and his group.

Since they knew there was no hope of escaping, they might as well kill these people themselves and get revenge in advance!

Natsuki Subaru only had a vague understanding of the so-called "Mist Beast" and "Great Sin Archbishop," but he believed that Crusch's advice was correct.

With a formidable enemy at hand and both sides facing a predicament, cooperation is the best course of action, rather than wasting their strength through internal strife.

However, Sting and the others clearly wouldn't listen to Natsuki Subaru's advice. They had followed Subaru's orders before because of Wood's intimidation, but now that they were all facing certain death, who would listen to the nonsense of a mere weakling?

"Actually, we might not necessarily die here. Before coming to hunt down the white whale, I secretly went to see Brother Wood."

Although he wasn't in the rented mansion at the time, the waiter said that Brother Wood had only gone out to deal with the monsters and would usually be back in the evening, so I left a letter.

The one who spoke was a cat-like beastman, and from its lively and smug expression, it was easy to tell that this was Mimi Parbatton, the elder of the triplets.

Before Anastasia and the others set off, Mimi, watching her two busy younger brothers, secretly slipped out once to look for Wood.

In Mimi's opinion, no matter which side Wood is on, Wood is still Wood, and still family.

If Wood had known they were going to hunt down the dangerous "White Whale of the Mist," he certainly wouldn't have chosen to stand idly by.

"What bullshit Brother Wood! It's all because of you that we've been targeted by the Mist Beasts and the Witch Cult."

I never killed children before, but today I'm going to go on a killing spree!

A member of Subaru Natsuki's assassination organization, upon seeing Mimi raise her hand to speak, was filled with rage and drew his sword, intending to cut the cat-eared loli in two.

When they saw the killer rushing towards Mimi, Julius and Wilkins reacted simultaneously and tried to step forward to protect her.

However, while they moved quickly, someone was even faster. With a painful groan, the assassin who had intended to attack the cat-eared loli was sent flying backward in a spiral motion.

The person who knocked the assassin away was none other than Poison Sting, who had just been looking gloomy and had the most displeased attitude!

"Big brother, what... what?" The assassin, who had been punched away by Stinger, landed in a Thomas spin, clutching his mouth where his teeth had fallen out, and looked at Stinger with a bewildered expression.

"Who the hell is your big brother? Have you forgotten our new rules? Anyone who lays a hand on a child or a pregnant woman will be stabbed to death."

And I think this little girl is absolutely right. If you dare to be rude to her again, I'll kill you first.

Sting first glared fiercely at his beaten-up underling, then turned around and showed what superb facial expression is all about, forcing an ugly smile as he looked at Mimi and asked, "Little sister, are you alright? My underling was being rude, and I've already taught him a lesson for you."

Seeing the double standard Sting showed towards Crusch and Mimi respectively, everyone around was dumbfounded. This was too obvious a case of differential treatment.

The person most surprised by this situation was probably Subaru Natsuki. He had come to fully understand Sting's personality after spending so much time with him.

Ruthless, vicious, cunning, and arrogant—these words are not an exaggeration when describing him. The attitude that Poison Sting showed to Crusch and the others just now was his true nature.

As for now... as a modern-day otaku, Natsuki Subaru believes that Stinger must be a legendary "lolicon"!

No, calling someone a "lolicon" might be too hasty. They might actually be obsessed with cat ears.

However, Subaru Natsuki's chaotic thoughts were quickly overturned by Poison Sting's next words.

After forcing an extremely awkward smile, Poison Sting tried to soften his tone as much as possible and asked Mimi, "What is the relationship between this little sister and the Brother Wood you mentioned?"

And what about Brother Wood, whom you mentioned? Around what time will he be able to get here?

Upon hearing Sting's question, Mimi proudly put her hands on her hips and said, "Mimi is Brother Wood's family, and Brother Wood is incredibly powerful."

Whether it's a white whale or a high-ranking bishop, if Brother Wood arrives here, they're no match for it.

"Sister Anna is Brother Wood's sister. If Brother Wood finds out that Sister Anna is in danger, he will definitely rush over!" the cat-eared loli said confidently.

Upon hearing what Mimi said, Poison Sting also showed an excited and thrilled expression.

The underlings of the assassination organization didn't know who "Brother Wood" was, because they weren't high enough in rank. But Sting, as one of the former leaders of the assassination organization, knew that "Brother Wood" was their boss!

Sting had no doubt whatsoever that Wood could defeat the "White Whale of the Mist" and the "High Sin Archbishop" of the Witch Cult.

Aside from Wood's demonstration of his strength at the assassination organization's gathering, these leaders knew through rumors that their boss had once fought against that seemingly overpowered swordsman, and the result was a draw!

It's no secret that Reinhard is currently the strongest person on Earth, and Wood, who can fight him to a standstill, is undoubtedly a monster among monsters!

The likes of "White Whale" and "Sloth" might be considered bosses by others, but in their boss's eyes, they're probably just slightly stronger monsters.

"Excuse me, which one of you is Sister Ana?" Through Mimi's gaze, Sting quickly found his target Anastasia in the crowd.

With an extremely fawning expression, he walked up to Anastasia and said, "So this is Boss Ana, indeed, she is exceptionally beautiful."

We were ungrateful before, but from now on we will definitely protect Sister Anna and follow your lead!

Stinger's attitude changed drastically, but everyone present was intelligent and quickly understood what had caused the change.

Sting wasn't a cat-eared loli-con. What caused his attitude to change was someone Mimi had just mentioned, and that person was Anastasia's younger brother, Wood Hessin!

"Who are you all to my brother?"

Anastasia wasn't stupid either. Anyone with eyes could see that Sting and his men all exuded a murderous aura and were clearly not good people.

If Anastasia remembers correctly, her younger brother aspires to become a knight and shouldn't have any connection with these people.

"Sister Anna is joking. How could people like us be worthy of having any relationship with Boss Wood?"

Rather, we're more like a group of people who were saved. We used to be a bunch of stinking ditch rats, living on the edge of a knife, but ever since Boss Wood united us..."

Through Sting's description, Wood's image as a radiant and majestic knight quickly emerged in everyone's eyes.

Because he was afraid of being targeted, Sting naturally tried to beautify Wood in the story.
