Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

The moment Murasame slashed Akame's skin, black cursed poison that appeared from the blade spread like a tattoo throughout Akame's body at an astonishing speed through the wound.

If she were an enemy, she would have no chance of survival the moment the Murasame's cursed poison spread to her heart. However, Akame is the user of the Murasame and has now mastered the secret technique. She did not die from the Murasame's cursed poison, but instead gained the cursed poison's enhancement.

Akame's exposed fair skin was now covered with black cursed tattoos, and even her original red pupils and the whites of her eyes had turned completely black. In terms of both appearance and aura, Akame now resembled a true demon.

Murasame's secret technique is similar to "Possessed by Evil Spirits". It uses Murasame's curse to strengthen itself, and all aspects such as speed, strength, and the power of its moves will be greatly enhanced in a short period of time.

However, just like being "possessed by a demon", the side effects of Murasame's Imperial Arms technique are also extremely severe. Although it is Murasame's user, the curse poison will not cause Akame to die immediately.

However, if the curse poison stays on the body for too long, the effects it has on Akame can range from death to permanent paralysis!

Enraged, Akame appeared in front of Esdeath in a flash, leaving a cold glint in the air with her Murasame sword, and with one strike, she exposed Esdeath, who was also raising her sword to defend, several meters away!

"It seems that leaving you all until the end was indeed the right decision. First it was Tatsumi, and then it was you. One by one, you all manage to ignite my strong fighting spirit."

"Since meeting that Wood guy, you're only the second person I've ever felt threatened by. So let's have this final showdown!"

Looking at Akame, whose entire body was corroded by the cursed poison and who looked like she had crawled out of the abyss, Esdeath showed no fear whatsoever; instead, she revealed an excited expression.

Now she has no way out. Just like when she used to hunt dangerous species alone in her hometown, it's either win or die; there is no third possibility.

Just as she had always believed, only the strong are fit to survive in this world.

If she survives, it means she is that so-called strong person! But if she dies like this, there's nothing to complain about; it just means she's nothing more than the guys who were killed before.

Akame charged towards Esdeath, and Esdeath charged back at her. Although Bulang and the others knew they were outmatched, they still chose to swarm in...

"There's a very strong commotion over there, and that aura... could it be that guy from Esdeath?"

Having dealt with Esdeath more than once or twice, and given that Wood's Teigu 'Winter Knight' is extremely sensitive to ice-attribute power, he sensed the aura of the Teigu 'Demon's Essence' on this side of the mountain range as he crossed it.

However, when Wood and his group, carrying the young emperor, sped up their journey and crossed the mountains to reach a flat area, Mine and Chelsea, who were beside Wood, were visibly shocked by what they saw.

In fact, even Wood, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but feel deeply moved by what he saw.

To be honest, the level of combat power in the world of Akame ga Kill! isn't particularly high. Apart from Esdeath and a few other weaklings, the combat power level in this world is nowhere near that of Wood's main world, the One Piece world, or the previous "Jobless Reincarnation World" and "Re:Zero World".

But in this low-level martial arts world, a vast plain in front of them, now covering an area of ​​nearly ten miles, has been transformed into an ice field.

Furthermore, glaciers of varying sizes and piercing ice cones and pillars can be seen everywhere on the ice field.

If you look closely, you will find that the ice field in front of them is not an ordinary ice field, but a so-called mass grave!

The icicles and ice spikes were pierced with the corpses of many revolutionary soldiers, and many people were frozen lifelike inside the glaciers.

The sheer size of the ice field before them clearly demonstrated just how intense the battle had been.

"Where are Akame and the others? They should be alright!"

Seeing the miserable state of the revolutionary soldiers in front of her, Mine couldn't help but show a look of unease.

More than these revolutionary soldiers, Mine is now worried about her "night raid" comrades with whom she spends every day.

After all, Esdeath has created such a vast ice field. Although Akame and the others are quite strong, they are no match for an enemy of this caliber...

"They should still be alive. I can feel their presence. But to say they are alive is not much different from being on the verge of death."

Wood amplified his Observation Haki, achieving an effect similar to that of a sniper in the One Piece world, enabling him to detect and observe distant units.

With the help of their Observation Haki, Wood and his group quickly arrived at the main battlefield and found the "Night Raid" team, which had suffered heavy casualties.

In the final battle, with the combined efforts of the Night Raid team, Akame's Murasame finally pierced Esdeath's body.

Before the cursed poison spread throughout her body, the extremely bold Esdeath chose to freeze herself with her ability and end her own life, turning her body into countless flying ice shards.

However, after Esdeath's death, the "Night Raid" group was also in a state of exhaustion.

Lubbock and Hill, one with a missing arm and the other with a missing leg, were practically disabled. Brand and Najenda, one having been poisoned and the other having their lifespan greatly reduced by the Teigu Susanoo, were also in dire straits after a fierce battle and had fallen into a coma.

Leone's Teigu "Lion King" was destroyed by Esdeath during the battle. Her internal organs were injured, and she was half-paralyzed on the ground, spitting out blood from time to time. It was clear that she would not be able to hold on for much longer.

However, the most serious cases are those involving Tatsumi and Akame, who used Imperial Arms techniques in the battle.

At this moment, Akame was still conscious, but her lower body had completely lost sensation. When Wood and the others arrived, she was crawling on her hands, trying to get closer to the pool of blood where Tatsumi lay.

Tatsumi was the first to be stabbed through the chest by Esdeath, and even Akame and the others thought that Tatsumi might be dead.

But when Wood picked him up, he discovered that Tatsumi's body was still warm and had a faint breath.

Judging from the knife wound on his chest, Wood, as a great swordsman, could easily see that the sadistic queen ultimately chose to spare Tatsumi, the boy with the "innocent smile."

The knife wound was less than a centimeter away from the vital heart. If it had been any slightly off, Tatsumi would probably have been dead long ago.

For someone as strong as Esdeath, it's impossible for her to miss her target. The only explanation is that she held back against Tatsumi.

Despite being a sadistic battle maniac, she also has the side of a girl in love. Even at the very end, she couldn't bring herself to kill her first love?

Seeing the heavy casualties among the Night Raid members before them, Mine and Chelsea were devastated. Even Kurome, who had always hated her sister, felt a pang of emotion upon seeing Akame's tragic state.

Lubbock and Hill are in relatively good condition. If their injuries are treated properly, they will most likely survive, at worst ending up with disabilities.

Brand and Najenda can probably be saved, but they definitely won't live much longer.

As for Akame, Tatsumi, and Leone, their situation is far too serious. Although they are still clinging to life, it is estimated that they will not survive the day.

The capital has been breached, Minister Ernest and General Bud have died, the young emperor has been captured, and now even their last remaining enemy, Esdeath, has been defeated.

Theoretically speaking, the empire is now defunct in name only, and they have accomplished their initial goals and wishes by successfully overthrowing the corrupt empire.

However, the price they paid for this was enormous. The revolutionary army lost nearly a million lives, and now even Tatsumi is about to die.

Compared to the unfamiliar Revolutionary Army, the comrades of "Night Raid" were companions they spent every day with. For Mine and Wood, they were more like family, so it was natural that they were not feeling well at this moment.

"Put Tatsumi and Akame all together. I think I should finish what I can do last."

Chelsea and Mine weren't stupid; when they heard what Wood said, they realized what he was up to.

"Are you trying to use the power of the 'Heart of God' again? But didn't you say before that you would die if you used that power again?!"

"Besides, so many people were injured this time. Even if you used the power of the 'Heart of God,' you couldn't possibly save everyone!"

Both Mine and Chelsea harbored special feelings for Wood, and frankly, they naturally did not want Wood to use that dangerous ability again and die as a result.

However, at this moment, they did not know how to say no.

Because on one side is Wood, whom they like, but on the other side is a partner they also value and consider family.

"If we rely solely on the power of the 'Heart of God,' we will naturally be unable to save so many people. Therefore, I plan to use the secret technique of the 'Winter Knight' once again."

By utilizing the power of 'evolution,' the healing ability should be further enhanced.

Wood had barely finished speaking when the pink-haired girl beside him grabbed his dragon-scaled arm and looked up at his delicate face, which was already streaked with tears, and cried out, "No! I don't agree!"

If you really do that, you'll die, Wood!

And if they knew you died saving them, they wouldn't agree to how they would face everything afterwards!

Cherished companions are important, but Mine still can't accept the death of Wood, whom she loves.

Wood had already done enough for the "night raid," and she didn't want Wood to die because of others until the very end.

“It’s alright, Mine. I was mentally prepared. Actually, when I was fighting the ‘Guardian Machine God’ in the capital, I felt like I was going to die.”

However, I managed to survive by using the Imperial Arms' secret technique.

Looking back now, it seems that my survival back then was meant to play a final role in this situation.

"Isn't it a great deal that I can save the lives of so many people I care about by sacrificing myself?"

This is a completely happy ending, so there's nothing to hesitate about, and nothing to be sad about.

Wood gently stroked Mine's head, and before she could make another move, he delivered a swift chop to the head, knocking the weeping Mine to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Chelsea immediately stepped back to distance herself from Wood, and said with a bitter smile and tears in her eyes, "I have no power to stop you, but please let me remain conscious and watch you leave this world in the end."

Chelsea didn't want to end up like Mine, without even the chance to watch Wood leave one last time, so she quickly raised her hands in surrender.

Chapter 454 Wood: Perhaps this is my final value.

"Black Eyes, after I die this time, our contract will end, and you will be completely free."

The empire now exists in name only, and you are no longer the same Black Eye you once were. From now on, how about trying to live for yourself?

Hearing what Wood said, Kuroko was in a state of great inner turmoil. Wood, who had given her a second life, was undoubtedly her great benefactor.

She used to live for the Empire, but after being saved by Wood, she began to live for him. It always seemed that she needed to depend on someone to live, but now Wood wants her to live for him.

Previously, she and Wood were enemies, but later she became Wood's subordinate. The relationship changed so quickly that Kurohime's emotions were always very chaotic when facing Wood.

However, this time, Kurohime understood her true feelings. She didn't want Wood to die like this, so she decided to stop Wood from using the "Heart of God".

Unfortunately, before Black Eyes could make a move, Wood appeared in front of her and held a knife to her neck.

"Please don't stop me; this is my final order to you."

If you really don't intend to obey orders, then I'll have no choice but to treat you the same way I treated Mine.

I don't know what you're all thinking, why is everyone trying to stop me?

Is it a waste for me to save so many people with my own life? Besides, my body is already riddled with holes. Even if I don't use the power of the 'Heart of God' this time, I probably won't live for another year.

Rather than letting this year pass by meaninglessly, I'd rather use it to do something meaningful.

As Wood finished speaking, the runes on his chest suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling silver light.

At the same time, Wood, wielding a longsword, roared and shouted his final "Winter Knight"!
