Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

If we weaken her abilities to a certain extent, we can seal her away, right?

If the opportunity arises, I'll take Emilia and Subaru with me and leave. After all, if things go wrong this time, I'll bear half the responsibility.

Feeling the almost tangible magic in the air, the runes on Wood's chest, belonging to the 'Heart of God,' also burst forth with an extremely dazzling silver light.

Without reservation, his vast life energy was directly transformed into surging power, flowing into every vein and muscle of Wood's body.

The extremely high amount of life energy that he consumed not only endowed Wood with great power, but also directly manifested in his appearance.

Her once dazzling blonde hair turned silver at a visible rate as her life energy rapidly depleted.

Due to the explosive increase in power, Wood's muscles even bled slightly because they couldn't withstand the surge in strength, and his bones groaned in pain.

The power boost from the 'Heart of God' is calculated as a percentage of one's own strength; that is, the stronger Wood's base strength, the greater the boost will be.

As for the percentage increase, it is calculated based on the lifespan Wood has consumed, and Wood is now obviously burning his lifespan to the maximum extent without any scruples!

"Are you insane! Even if you manage to seal away the Witch of Envy at this rate, you'll die yourself!"

Although Echidna didn't know what the runes on Wood's chest represented, as the wisest witch, she could naturally see that Wood was using his own life to gain immense power.

Great power always comes at a price, and the stronger a person is, the more they understand this principle.

With Echidna's knowledge, she never believed that a person could obtain unparalleled power for no reason. Judging from Wood's magical power increase, the price must be enormous.

"There's nothing you can do if you die. Do you have any other better options?"

Remember what I said: take Emilia and Subaru and leave this place as soon as you get the chance. Otherwise, if things really get out of hand, I'm afraid you'll get caught in the crossfire.

As soon as Wood finished speaking, his figure disappeared from Echidna's sight.

Despite it being normal high-speed movement, the speed Wood was exhibiting at this moment even gave Echidna the illusion that Wood's speed was faster than "teleportation".

Indeed, the "teleportation" of Yin-attribute magic is fast, but it also has a certain casting delay. However, the speed that Wood is showing now has reached a level that is enough to cut through the air, and there is no delay or stiffness at all!

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Utsuri-dōji-ryu - Yuki-onna!"

At this moment, Wood's body was covered in a large amount of blood, not because he was injured, but because the power contained within him was too astonishing.

If he doesn't release it soon, his body will explode and he will die because he can't withstand the ever-increasing power!

The sky, which had been covered by the thick, purplish-black magic of the Witch of Jealousy, suddenly became clouded with dark clouds, and as the temperature in the air dropped rapidly, large amounts of snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

At first, it was just a light snowfall, but in less than a moment, it turned into a heavy snowfall, and then into a blizzard!

Two enormous blades of light flew out in the air in an "X" shape, and continued to grow larger in the snow and wind until they tore a huge gap in the witch of jealousy's huge magical barrier.

At this moment, the Witch of Envy was bathed in light, dressed in a gown as black as night, her face completely shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to see her features clearly.

Seeing Wood rushing towards him, Jealousy Magic curled its lips slightly. It merely stretched out a pale hand towards Wood, and a large number of black shadows rushed towards Wood, as if to completely absorb and devour him just like it had done to Echidna.

As Echidna previously stated, the Witch of Envy's devouring ability is irresistible, because it can devour any substance, even magic.

Therefore, instead of hastily defending against the Witch of Envy's attack, Wood chose to dodge it with extreme speed.

The black shadow was fast, but the opponent, the Great Sin Witch, was clearly a mage-type class, which might be more than enough for them. However, capturing Wood in his current state was obviously not so simple.

The black shadows that came from all directions, under the control of the Witch of Envy, enveloped Wood in a very short time. However, when these black shadows tried to entangle Wood's body and drag him into the body of the Witch of Envy, they all passed through Wood's body.

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Dual-Sword Style - Gyu-oni!"

The figure pierced by the black shadow was merely an afterimage of Wood. When his figure reappeared, the silver runes on his chest trailed brilliant light in the air and appeared behind the Witch of Envy.

The two ice blades in his hands, now covered by "Armament Haki," transformed into black blades gleaming with a metallic sheen.

A phantom of a bull, its body wreathed in blood, emerged from behind Wood, wielding two black blades that now resembled the two deformed horns of the blood-red bull, and it thrust directly at the Witch of Envy's abdomen from below.

"Rather than being devoured by you, I definitely prefer to do things my own way, like this, where I take the initiative."

Wood, who appeared behind the Witch of Envy, launched an attack and instantly slammed the car wheel directly into her face.

However, although the Witch of Jealousy couldn't understand Wood's otherworldly slang, she could tell from Wood's amused expression that what he had just said was definitely not nice. So she directly refused to let Wood's blade enter her body.

The ice blade, imbued with Armament Haki, was about to pierce the Witch of Envy's back, attempting to deliver a "Thousand Years of Death" that would be unforgettable for her, when it encountered immense resistance in mid-air.

Even though there was nothing in front of him, Wood's two black knives, which even sparked a lot of fire in the air, could not advance an inch, as if they had encountered an invisible barrier.

Because her backpack was attacked, the Witch of Envy turned around and flicked her wrist, sending a black crescent moon made of pure magic flying right up to Wood's face.

Because his attack was thwarted, Wood had no choice but to retreat. When the black crescent moon that flew past his hair landed on the ground, it sliced ​​through the ground over an area of ​​several kilometers.

And while it caused such destruction to the ground, the commotion it created was not significant at all, because the areas grazed by the black crescent were completely devoured by the jealousy factor! Just like when the Witch of Jealousy devoured half the world more than four hundred years ago.

Wood's figure had already distanced itself from the Witch of Envy because of the shadow scythe, but the two ice blades were still stuck in the wall as if they were invisible.

Because they were made of his own magic, the two ice blades in mid-air shattered the moment Wood clenched his fists.

The moment the ice blade shattered, an icy aura instantly filled the surroundings. However, unfortunately, the visible cold wave was blocked by an invisible wall as it approached the Witch of Envy, splitting into two streams.

"Tsk, just like that Bishop of Sloth before, is it one of those invisible abilities?!"

But no matter what kind of defense it is, it has its limits. Now that our magic power is evenly matched, I refuse to believe that I can't shatter your turtle shell!

The ensuing battle was truly high-energy from start to finish, with Wood using his speed advantage to move at high speed within the Witch of Envy's domain.

Slashes, close combat, and magic were relentlessly unleashed upon the Witch of Envy, and elemental magic continuously exploded in the space, causing glass-like cracks to appear in the surrounding environment.

Wood had already used the "Heart of God" at full power and had no intention of surviving this battle. Therefore, the Witch of Envy was clearly feeling the pressure of Wood's reckless fighting style.

Finally, after a relentless barrage of attacks, the Witch of Jealousy's "invisible barrier" was breached by Wood's slash.

As the blade drew ever closer, whether out of a twisted sense of humor or she was simply intrigued, the Witch of Jealousy suddenly remembered that Wood was Emilia's guardian knight. So, her previously blurred face began to reveal Emilia's features.

"This is the moment I've been waiting for! I became this child's knight, but I've never fulfilled my duties as a knight."

This time you've given me a pretty good chance to show off!

Unsurprisingly, when the Witch of Envy revealed Emilia's appearance, the ice blade in Wood's hand indeed came to an abrupt halt in front of her.

But before the Witch of Envy could even show a smug expression, she noticed that the ice blade in Wood's hand suddenly changed shape, turning into a chain of ice that bound her body.

Breaking free from this level of magic was not a difficult task for the Witch of Envy.

But Wood didn't expect his magic to bind the Witch of Envy for long; even holding her in the world for a short while would be enough.

As the icy chains on the Witch of Envy were being eroded by the black shadows, Wood made a move that left even the Witch of Envy completely astonished.

He didn't use a knife or fists; instead, he went straight up and gave the Witch of Jealousy a bear hug!

The soft, squeezing sensation against his chest clearly told Wood that Emilia was said to look very similar to the Witch of Envy, but now it seemed there were still differences.

Emilia's figure was already quite remarkable among seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, but compared to the Witch of Envy, she was clearly more than a size smaller.

However, Wood's reason for embracing the Witch of Envy was not to take advantage of her or make fun of her, but to use the method taught by Echidna to rescue Emilia.

The oath sworn before the Dragon Stone during the Royal Selection Ceremony is not just empty talk. Although the bond between the Dragon Maiden and the Guardian Knight is not as close as that between the Spirits, there is still a certain connection between them.

So when Wood embraced the Witch of Envy, he was simultaneously using the connection to awaken the sleeping Emilia and channeling his massive amount of magic into the Witch of Envy's body.

The same powerful but different kind of magic entering the Witch of Envy's body can cause a "magical barrier" effect on her; this is the method that the Witch of Greed, Echidna, told him.

Even the jealous witch, under the influence of the witch, could not prevent Emilia's awakening.

Once Emilia awakens, with her help, Wood will be able to use his magic to expel the Witch of Envy from Emilia's body!

Chapter 386 The Frozen Jealous Witch!

At this moment, a rather bizarre scene was unfolding high in the sky: a man and a woman, both with dazzling silver hair, were tightly embracing each other in mid-air.

However, if you observe closely, you will find that they are not showing affection, but are having a real life-or-death struggle, which can be clearly felt from the magical impact that occasionally bursts out from them.

The Witch of Jealousy quickly guessed Wood's intentions, even though Emilia had lost her role as the "key" after breaking the seal.

However, as a "container," it is still very important to her. If the container were to break away, her power would be affected to some extent. Therefore, she would not let Wood succeed so easily at this moment.

A large amount of life force was transformed into a massive amount of magic power through the power of the 'Heart of God'. Wood then injected this massive amount of magic power into the Witch of Envy to resist her.

As planned, the adorable Miria was awakened, but Wood and his team encountered a problem in the step of expelling her from their bodies.

Theoretically speaking, the massive amount of magic power capable of fighting the Witch of Envy could indeed have the potential to expel her from Emilia's body, but let's not forget what the Witch of Envy's power is.

That's the power of "devouring"—it devoured six great sin witches and half the world's power. Describing it as a gluttonous beast that devours everything is perfectly accurate.

At first, the magic Wood brought into the Witch of Envy was able to hold its own against her, but as the Witch of Envy gradually devoured Wood's magic, the situation began to turn around!

"The wisest witch, my foot! When Echidna came up with this terrible idea, didn't she ever think this would happen?"

Even if the "Heart of God" is incredibly powerful, it still comes at the cost of one's life, and it's clear that Wood can't keep locked in this stalemate with the Witch of Envy indefinitely.

Even if he were able to maintain the stalemate, the Witch of Envy would gradually expand her advantage by absorbing his magic.

Just when Wood thought that if the stalemate continued, he would not only fail to save Emilia, but he would also perish along with her, another unexpected event occurred.

Wood could sense that the magic he had poured into the Witch of Jealousy had not only disappeared from its devouring power, but was even actively retreating.

At first, Wood thought this was another trick of the Witch of Envy, but he was surprised to find that the Witch of Envy, who was in his arms, spoke.

It was clearly the same face, but the voice and tone of the Witch of Jealousy were completely different from before.

“Emilia’s knight, I am Satella, not the witch of jealousy. While I still have control over this body, please expel me from this child’s body as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing the words of the Witch of Jealousy... no, Satella, Wood finally understood what was going on.

The Witch of Envy has two personalities: the Witch of Envy and the young girl Satella. The Witch of Envy had been in control until Wood was locked in a fierce battle with her personality, at which point Satella's personality was able to take over and become dominant.

With Satella's help, Wood finally succeeded in expelling the Witch of Jealousy from Emilia's body.
