Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

"I apologize to Your Excellency for my previous shortsighted behavior. I will immediately go and gather the other wounded to help Your Majesty achieve great success in battle."

After confirming that Wood was strong enough to deal with the White Whale and Sloth, Crusch apologized without any ducal airs and then rode off to gather the missing people.

Watching Crusch's departing figure, Wood sighed silently and muttered to himself, "Winning this royal selection ceremony won't be easy. These candidates all seem quite formidable."

However, compared to other matters, resolving the immediate problem seems more important right now.

At this moment, the Archbishop of Sloth, facing Wood, had used every trick in the book, completely losing his previous composure.

In addition to the power of the "Invisible Hand," Sloth also uses abilities such as "Mental Pollution."

Because Wood possesses the ability to sever the "invisible hand" and has exceptional physical abilities, allowing him to easily get close to Sloth, Sloth unleashed a remarkably powerful earth magic.

Sloth is called Petritchius Romani-Conti, but his original name was actually Jus, an earth-type micro-elf from over 400 years ago, who was once Beatrice's teacher.

Sloth was originally a handsome man, and was even Emilia's adoptive father, and he liked Emilia's adoptive mother Fortuna.

Emilia's elven race was attacked by the Witch Pandora and the Archbishop of the Witch Cult, Regulus Kornius, who coveted the title of the Great Sin Archbishop.

Because he was no match for the enemy, in order to protect everyone, Jus swallowed the Sloth Witch Factor, which he had not fully controlled, in an attempt to fight back. However, after the Sloth Witch Factor went out of control, Pandora used her power to change events, causing him to accidentally kill Fortuna. After regaining his senses, he suffered a mental breakdown and became a madman.

As a result, young Emilia was frozen for a hundred years until she was rescued by Puck, but she lost all her previous memories.

In summary, Sloth is a tragically devoted lover, and also an elf at the top level in earth-attribute magic.

But none of this has much to do with Wood. Not to mention that Wood doesn't know his past, even if he did, for the current man, death would be the only salvation.

Sloth merely waved its arm, and with a violent tremor in the ground, sharp spikes pierced the earth and stabbed into Wood's vital points.

In order to escape the unpredictable ground spikes, Wood could only leap into the air, but soon his Observation Haki sensed the attack of the "Invisible Hand".

When the human body is in the air, because there is no foothold, the body's coordination ability is far less than when it is on the ground.

It must be said that although Sloth has become a madman due to mental breakdown, his opponent is not stupid and has considerable combat experience.

Looking at Wood, who was suspended in mid-air, Sloth revealed a crazed expression, confident that Wood could not dodge his "Invisible Hand" attack while in mid-air.

Even if it possesses the power to sever the "Invisible Hand," it can only deliver one blow at most. Whether it faces more "Invisible Hands" or falls to the ground, Sloth is confident it can kill Wood.

However, what Sloth didn't expect was that Wood actually managed to cut down the first wave of "Invisible Hand" attacks in mid-air with a single sword strike.

But when faced with the second wave, the opponent did not fall to the ground or get caught. Instead, he stomped on the air and maintained his floating state!

Chapter 368 Kick the White Whale to Explosion!

Is it possible for humans to walk in the air?

Regardless of whether such magic exists, what Sloth can clearly know now is that there is no flow of magic in the air.

In other words, the other party accomplished this incredible feat solely through their physical abilities and skills!

"What the hell are you?!"

Watching Wood pound the air with his feet, moving swiftly through the air as if walking on flat ground, even the mentally unstable Sloth roared angrily.

If it were a demi-human race like birdmen, that would be one thing, but Wood looks like an ordinary human, so it's absurd that he possesses such skills.

"Don't you know? Even the human body has infinite possibilities. If you train it to a certain extreme, things like this are not entirely impossible."

Wood Hesin's physical strength in this world is not weak, enough for Wood to use the "Six Styles", but the "Moonwalk" he is using now is obviously beyond the scope of Sloth's understanding.

“Woooooooooooooooooooo!”

Just as Wood was talking to Sloth, a whale's cry suddenly rang out from the thick fog around them, and the next second a huge column of smoke suddenly shot towards him.

The beluga whale's "Disappearing Mist" has the ability to erase its existence, and in terms of sheer danger, it is actually far more dangerous than the Sloth's "Invisible Hand".

Therefore, instead of trying to directly confront the "disappearing mist" spewed by the white whale, Wood created a green magic circle in front of him.

The next second, a whirlwind tornado shot out from the magic circle and crashed directly into the white smoke column spewed by the beluga whale.

As we all know, although white fog has the properties of water, it is essentially in the form of a gas. And no matter how powerful a gas is, it cannot withstand the blow of a strong wind.

The wind blade tornado, like a long spear, pierced straight through the middle and shattered the smoke column spewed by the beluga whale.

At the same time, Wood's figure vanished from his spot in an instant, and using the direction from which the smoke column had just been emitted, he directly located the white whale hidden in the thick fog.

"Armament Haki Iron Body - Rock-Splitting Sky-Shattering!"

The combination of the Six Styles' "Shave" and "Moon Step" allowed Wood to move at high speed through the thick fog. The white whale, which had just completed its sneak attack, was about to disappear back into the fog when it was completely unaware that a figure suddenly appeared above its head.

Hundreds of meters above the ground, Wood's figure appeared without warning above the thick fog, and then his legs were covered with a metallic black layer at a visible speed.

Due to the acceleration caused by gravity and his own weight, Wood's flying kick, due to atmospheric friction, even created a wind barrier and a tail flame like a meteorite!

The beluga whale is a giant whale that is over fifty meters long and has huge horns on its head. The white fur covering its body can also greatly reduce magical and physical damage.

However, the moment Wood's flying kick struck the beluga whale, a massive shockwave swept across the surroundings. Accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, the beluga whale's massive horn was first broken off by Wood's kick, and then its enormous head visibly dented...

“Woooooooooooooooooooo!”

A whale's cry, like that of a child crying, came from the thick fog. Anyone with normal hearing could tell that this beluga whale's cry was much louder than before, and it was clearly filled with pain.

Rings of ripples emerged from beneath the beluga whale, and in the next second, this colossal creature, over fifty meters long, plummeted from the sky at a speed that broke the sound barrier!

"boom------!"

This was another deafening sound that came from the thick fog, and in addition to the enormous sound, people in this area could also clearly feel the ground shaking violently.

Because the thick white fog obscured everyone's vision, they couldn't clearly see what was happening. However, it wasn't hard to tell from the screams of the white whale that the one who was being beaten was probably not Wood's side.

"Is this guy really human...?"

Compared to the others currently shrouded in the thick fog, Sloth is the closest to the White Whale because of its recent battle with Wood.

In addition, due to the witch factor on its body and the fact that it is a micro-elf, the dense fog of the white whale does not have much of an effect on it.

And it is precisely for this reason that Sloth is arguably the one who sees most clearly what just happened.

Sloth had initially thought that Wood was just a special knight with excellent swordsmanship and magic skills, but that kick he just received shattered Sloth's perception!

Humans being able to move in the air is quite absurd, but he could barely accept it. However, kicking a beluga whale that is over fifty meters long and weighs at least several hundred tons, causing it to break the sound barrier and even glide for several kilometers on the ground, is something that humans can do.

Such physique and strength are something that even ancient magical beasts might not possess, let alone humans!

Wood's kick not only sent the white whale flying, but also shattered Sloth's original confidence.

With his superb earth magic, the power of "Invisible Hand," and the occasional sneak attacks from the mist monster—the White Whale, Sloth was actually quite confident in defeating Wood.

But now, with the ground cratered and the white whale knocked unconscious by a kick, he proved to the world that the young knight in front of him was a real monster!

Silently memorizing Natsuki Subaru's appearance, at this moment, Sloth was already considering giving up.

He's just mentally unstable, but he's not a complete idiot. Anyone with eyes can see that Wood is an exceptional fighter.

The white whale, one of the three great magical beasts, was kicked into a corner and left to die.

Just as Sloth and his remaining underlings were preparing to slip away before the thick fog completely dissipated, a huge green magic circle unfolded beneath Wood's feet at an astonishing speed.

And as Wood's terrifying magical power erupted, the magic circle expanded exponentially, quickly covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers in radius, and even the entire plain!

The thick fog could obstruct everyone's vision, but the light from the magic circle blooming on the ground was still visible to everyone in the area.

"This thick fog is still too much of a hindrance. My sister has Julius and Wilkins protecting her, so there shouldn't be any problems."

As for the others, I'm sorry, I will try my best to minimize the destructive power of this magic.

Emperor-level Wind Magic: Raging Turbulence!

The massive magic circle that enveloped the entire plain suddenly burst forth with a strong green light, and everyone within the magic circle, upon feeling the flow of magic beneath their feet, all showed expressions of horror.

And just as they were making some emergency preparations, with the first wisp of wind blowing out from the magic circle, in less than a few moments, a tornado shooting straight up from the bottom of the plain rose directly into the clouds above.

The powerful winds, comparable to a Category 12 typhoon, not only swept up a large amount of gravel from the plains into the air, but also uprooted many plants instantly!

If plants with roots that extend deep into the ground are like this, then it goes without saying that the fog that originally gathered in this area, and the people in this area, are also affected.

However, since Wood's purpose was merely to disperse the thick fog covering the plains, he did not unleash the full power of the Emperor-level wind magic, but only utilized its wide coverage.

The strong winds only lasted for less than a minute before the thick fog on the field completely dissipated.

Because the strong winds didn't last long, many people managed to grab onto nearby rocks and plants and escape the storm.

Only a few unlucky souls, who had just been swept into the air because they had nothing to grab onto, are now falling straight down.

Those who fall to the ground are either assassins, knights, or orcs. Although their trained bodies are not likely to die from a fall, broken arms and legs are always inevitable.

"Although Brother Wood's magic is still ridiculously strong, he's still as reckless as ever. That's probably why Sister became the way she is..."

Black Taro and Tibi, two of the cat triplets, had just dispelled their defensive magic. Looking at the devastation around them, they couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Julius, who was protecting Anastasia alongside Wilkin, couldn't help but twitch upon hearing what Black Taro and the others said after dispelling the protective shield formed by the micro-elves in front of him.

In fact, it wasn't just Julius; Crusch, who was in another location at the same time and had also removed her magical defenses, was also horrified as she watched as a layer of the original grassland was thoroughly scraped away.

As the heir to the ducal family, Crusch had seen powerful magic before, and she often encountered so-called court magicians.

The strongest mage in the Kingdom of Dragons, Lord Roswaal, possesses the "Blessing of the Mage," enabling him to master magic of six elements. He has also been bestowed the titles of "Red," "Green," and "Yellow" in the Kingdom of Lugnica.

Before today, Crusch had always believed that Roswaal was Lugnica's strongest person in terms of magic and magical power, but what she saw today shook her previous belief.

The spell was a massive one, covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers. Crusch herself also possessed some magical foundation. She could just sense that Wood's large-scale spell hadn't even had a chance to unleash its power before it was deliberately interrupted.

"Phoenix, based on your understanding, how much mana (magic power) would be needed to unleash a spell of that scale?"

Due to her limited knowledge of magic, Crusch could only turn to Phoenix beside her and ask, since Phoenix, although not skilled in combat, was the youngest mage to receive the title of "Blue" and possessed a certain level of expertise in magic.
