Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Chapter 450 You're standing on the left when it comes to the beam?

"Roar------!"

As the runes on Wood's chest burst forth with dazzling silver light, the Snow Maiden Dragon Knight, who had been suppressed to the corner, suddenly seemed to have been injected with hormones!

With a roar, the enormous ice dragon Skasa instantly grew to more than two or three times its original size.

Standing atop Skasa's head, the Snow Woman, wielding a long sword, was now radiating a dazzling silver light, her figure becoming even more ethereal and captivating.

She even began to wear a set of pure silver dragon scale armor, which made her already curvaceous figure even more alluring.

Amplified by the power of the 'Heart of God', the Snow Maiden Dragon Knight's aura and power increased greatly. Wielding a long sword, the Snow Maiden slashed down, instantly splitting the thick red pillar of light in front of her. The Ice Dragon Skasa roared and crashed head-on into her.

Wood, who had been suppressed to the brink of defeat, suddenly exerted his strength and went from being on the verge of defeat to having the upper hand.

With the Snow Maiden Dragon Knight's charge, it's now the young emperor's turn to bear the pressure he just experienced.

Because the Snow Maiden Dragon Knight is currently only a few meters away from the Little Emperor.

Just when Wood thought he would defeat his opponent, numerous cannons opened up on the shoulders of the "Guardian Machine God" and fired several small lasers.

With the help of multiple small lasers, the Snow Maiden Dragon Knight, who had initially held a significant advantage, was forced back and once again entered a stalemate.

Seeing this scene, Wood really wanted to curse the other party's ancestors; the other party's cheat was just too outrageous.

If this stalemate continues, the guy who will die will definitely be him.

Because whether it's the 'Heart of God' or the 'Winter Knight's' secret technique, its power is immense, but it's like the Grim Reaper's scythe, reaping his life every second. He simply can't hold out for very long!

Just when Wood thought he might die before he could destroy the "Guardian Machine God," another twist of fate appeared!

Just as Wood said before, the 'Guardian Machine God' is an Imperial Arm, and its performance in terms of attack, defense and other abilities is impeccable.

But an Imperial Arms is an Imperial Arms. Even the so-called strongest Imperial Arms is just a tool.

A tool is something that can only become a powerful weapon if it is owned and operated by someone. If no one uses it, it is nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.

The "Guardian Machine God" was able to activate because of the royal bloodline, but an Imperial Arms is still an Imperial Arms. Its power cannot be generated out of thin air. Just like powerful Imperial Arms such as "Demon Possessed" and "Winter Knight", they can cause huge side effects to the user.

It makes no sense that the Supreme Imperial Arms, which are so powerful, would be without any risk. This is illogical and violates the law of conservation of power.

To replace the side effects of the "Guardian God Machine" and to address concerns that future kings might be incompetent, the empire's founding emperor was quite clever. When creating the "Guardian God Machine," he also constructed an independent functional system for it.

The key to unlocking this power supply system is his own royal bloodline.

Because the "Guardian Machine God" possesses such devastating power, its consumption is naturally enormous.

Although the power supply system can replace the side effects and lowers the barrier to use to almost nothing, the energy within the "Guardian Machine God" is always limited.

Each time the "Guardian Machine God" is used, it consumes a certain amount of energy within its body. This energy may be replenishable, but after a thousand years, let alone a way to replenish energy, the Empire has lost most of the Forty-Eight Imperial Arms.

In other words, the current "Guardian Mech God" consumes a certain amount of energy every time it is used, which is probably why the Empire chooses not to use the "Guardian Mech God - Supreme Throne" which is sealed away.

Otherwise, the "Guardian God of the Nation" would have no side effects, be as powerful as a war fortress, and have no barriers to use, as any member of the royal family could use it.

It was illogical for the Empire to keep such a powerful weapon unused, and to suffer constant humiliation from border tribes and the chaos caused by the revolutionary army, until Esdeath appeared and things began to improve.

In other words, the "Guardian Machine God" is incredibly powerful, but it cannot operate for long periods due to energy issues, which is why the royal family has such an ancestral precept.

The "Guardian God of the Nation - Supreme Throne" should not be used unless absolutely necessary, as it is the guardian deity of the royal family.

Logically speaking, with such powerful strength, the "Guardian Machine God" should be able to completely wipe out dangers and enemies even when the empire is in danger, just a few minutes of operation would be enough.

But the focus now is precisely on the fact that this empire has encountered a monster among monsters.

He fought against the legendary strongest Imperial Arm, the guardian deity of the royal family, for nearly an hour on his own!

The massive size of the machine naturally comes with enormous energy consumption. From the moment the young emperor activated the "Guardian Mech God" until now, it has maintained an extremely high power output. In addition, the Mech God was severely damaged just now, so the aftereffects have finally arrived!

Sitting in the driver's seat, the little emperor panicked as he watched the various instruments in front of him flash red warning lights and the screen pop up with a low energy message.

Because the power supply couldn't keep up, the laser's suppressive power began to weaken. Naturally, Wood's Snow Maiden Dragon Knight, like the final straw, violently suppressed the laser!

He thought he was doomed, but the situation took a dramatic turn and changed so quickly that even Wood himself was a bit confused.

However, he soon understood why the little emperor had suddenly failed: when they were going head-to-head, the guy had actually stood on the left.

Regardless of the world or plane, it has always been an unwritten rule that the left side of the ball will always lose. Unfortunately, the young emperor was clearly unaware of this, so his loss was not unjust at all.

As the laser beams fired by the "Guardian Mech God" continued to "shrink," the Snow Maiden Dragon Knight on Wood's side eventually transformed into a white beam of light, accompanied by a flurry of snowflakes, and ripped a huge gash into the chest of the "Guardian Mech God."

And finally, it let out a dragon's roar that signified victory, piercing through the body of the "Guardian God of the Nation" and soaring into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.

As for Wood, he had already deactivated the "Heart of God" and could no longer maintain the "Winter Knight" form, returning to his normal state, looking extremely weak.

This time, the use of the 'Heart of God' was not for long, so it did not completely drain his life force.

But Wood was certain that if he used the Heart of God again, he would have absolutely no chance of surviving.

However, Wood, who was extremely weak, was not comparable to the young emperor, who was only ten years old and had no strength to even kill a chicken.

When Wood placed the "Winter Knight" against the young emperor's neck, he officially declared the end of this final battle.

After Wood defeated the "Guardian Machine God" and captured the young emperor, Kurohime and Mine eventually found their way here.

When Wood saw that all of Mine and her group were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he saw that they were all empty-handed, he couldn't help but ask, "With so many of you, you shouldn't have been able to escape with that minister, right?"

"No, we killed him because something went wrong. We didn't have the conditions to capture him."

Minister Honest was also a Teigu user, and his Teigu abilities were extremely powerful, even considered a nemesis of Teigu users.

The ring-shaped Imperial Arm he was wearing had the ability to unconditionally destroy Imperial Arms; my "March of the Dead: Hachifusa" was destroyed by him.

Even without the puppet of the dead, we finally managed to defeat him with great difficulty, because he was so powerful that we were unable to capture him alive.

Upon hearing what Black Eyes said, Wood was clearly taken aback. He hadn't expected the minister to have such a hidden trick up his sleeve.

Not only is he a master who trained at the Imperial Fist Temple, but he also possesses such a powerful Imperial Arm!

Wood was even somewhat relieved that when he caught up with the ministers, they probably thought that the "Guardian Machine God" was enough to crush him, so they didn't use the Imperial Arm ability on him. Otherwise, he probably would have been dead long ago.

Kurome had already secured her victory by turning General Budo into a puppet, but who would have thought that the minister possessed an Imperial Arm that could "destroy an Imperial Arm"?

Fortunately, the minister's Imperial Arms can only be used once a week, so after destroying Kurome's Imperial Arms, his Imperial Arms temporarily lost its effect, leaving him with no choice but to fight Kurome and the others unarmed.

Although Kurome's strongest Imperial Arm, "Yafusa," was destroyed, there was still Mine's "Romantic Turret" and Chelsea's "Gaia Foundation"... Well, Chelsea was practically just a mascot in that battle.

With the loss of the "Eight Houses", Kurohime's fighting power was greatly reduced. In the end, she had to cooperate with Mine and Ran to finally defeat the minister.

Since the opponent's combat strength was considerable, and their own strength was not overwhelming, they ultimately had no choice but to eliminate the opponent in order to prevent the opponent from escaping.

"It's alright, he's dead, so he's dead. Given what he did before, he definitely wouldn't have survived anyway. It's a bit too easy for him to die so easily."

General Bud died in battle, and Minister Ernest, the mastermind behind the entire empire, was also dismembered by Black Eye and his men, and was as dead as could be.

As for the emperor, who was the empire's nominal ruler, Wood successfully captured him alive. It can be said that the empire now exists in name only.

The nobles who originally lived in the capital also began to scatter and flee after hearing the news of the minister's death.

Wood had neither the time nor the resources to pursue these escapees.

Anyway, once the revolutionary army takes over the empire, these escapees, as long as they don't leave the empire's territory, will eventually be plundered.

The empire's army had already suffered heavy losses when the "Guardian Machine God" went berserk, and upon seeing the young emperor captured, they instantly lost their will to fight.

What Wood and his men needed to do next was to bring the young emperor back to the Revolutionary Army headquarters before the other Imperial armies could react and launch an attack, thus securing victory in this battle.

War is not something one person can accomplish alone. The empire's army is countless, and simply capturing the young emperor is not enough. In the end, the revolutionary army also had to step in.

In fact, if Wood were in his prime, he could probably take on the entire Imperial army by himself.

However, his current situation is worse than ever before. Black Eyes' "March of the Dead: Eight Houses" has been destroyed again, and Mine and Ran's strength is insufficient to fight against the massive imperial army. So now they have no other choice but to run away.

Along the way, Lan carried the captured young emperor on her back, while Wood was supported by Black Eyes and Mine. They ran and rested for two whole days before they escaped the imperial army's pursuit and fled the empire's territory.

During their escape, the young emperor, who had been captured, gradually went from struggling and hurling insults to accepting his fate and falling silent.

The reason for the young emperor's transformation is actually quite simple: his experiences and observations during his escape journey deeply moved him.

Compared to Minister Ernest, the young emperor was not actually a bad person; he was just too naive and too trusting of his ministers.

But we can’t really blame him, after all, he was only ten years old, and he only managed to ascend to the throne because of his ministers.

The court officials were almost all his men, and since the young emperor had never left the palace and was unaware of the hardships of the common people, he naturally believed that everything the officials did was right.

But what Wood and his men saw and heard along the way during their escape completely shattered the young emperor's worldview.

He always believed that everything he did was right, and that he was a wise ruler loved by the people.

But when Wood passed through some villages, the young emperor saw them cheering and celebrating.

When Wood asked why they were celebrating, the villagers told him the reason: they were celebrating because they had also learned about what was happening in the capital.

The ministers who caused the empire's corruption were dead, and the foolish and ignorant young emperor had been captured alive. They all believed that the empire was doomed and the revolutionary army was about to win, which is why they cheered and celebrated.

The young emperor, who witnessed this scene, was dumbfounded, because he had never imagined that he was seen as such a person by his people.

However, the young emperor did not give up at first, but believed that only a few ignorant people thought of him that way.

So when Wood and his men arrived at the next village, the young emperor immediately cried out for help upon seeing people, claiming that he was the captured emperor of the empire.

Chapter 451 The Helpless Revolutionary Army

As they passed through a village where there was no celebration or cheering, the young emperor cried out for help as he saw passersby.
