Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

He was also quite clear that the reason Wood was loved and trusted by his family was because of his past contributions.

When Paul's crimes were exposed, Wood was an adventurer supporting his family and raising his two younger sisters who had grown up with him.

When the "Great Transfer" occurred, it was Wood who went through countless hardships to bring Senis and her two sisters out of the underground labyrinth.

Even when they later encountered the dragon god Orsteed, if Wood hadn't stepped forward and taken the initiative to cover their retreat, Rudeus would probably have died long ago.

It can be said that among the entire Grellatt family, Wood has always been the one who has given and done the most.

He was not only a younger brother who respected his elder brother, but also a son who could share the responsibilities of his parents, and the most perfect older brother in the eyes of his younger sisters.

Having a younger brother like this puts a lot of pressure on Rudy, who is the male in the family. Fortunately, there are three men in the Grerat family, and Rudy is currently only in the middle, not the most unfortunate one.

As for who the most tragic male in Grerat is right now... Rudy looked up slightly at Paul on the other side and couldn't help but cast a sympathetic glance at him.

Unlike Wood, Rudy and Paul were visiting the Latorrea family for the first time, and naturally, it was also their first time meeting Claire and Therese.

Rudy is alright, because he looks like Wood and has been well influenced by his maternal grandmother Claire and aunt Therese.

Chapter 499 Mother-in-law Meets Son-in-Law, Poor Paul

But compared to Rudius, who benefited from Wood, Paul was really having a tough time.

The saying "A mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at him" seems to exist. However, this saying is clearly not applicable to Claire at all.

Who was Senis before? She was the eldest daughter of the Latoria family, hailed as the perfect "model of a rich young lady".

Compared to before, what kind of person is Paul now?

Although I didn't know much about the "Grelat" family of the Kingdom of Asra before, I learned about them two years ago when Seni brought Wood and the other children back to the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

After learning that her daughter Senis, who had been missing for many years, was already married and had several children, Claire, who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, also conducted some investigation into Paul.

For the powerful Latoria family of the Holy Kingdom of Milis, investigating Paul's background was not too difficult.

But the investigation almost made Claire furious!

Paul Grerat, originally named Paul Notos Grerat, was a high-ranking nobleman in the Kingdom of Asra. In terms of social status, Paul was a better match for Senis.

But the important thing is that Claire also learned that Paul was not only a high-ranking nobleman, but also a notorious playboy in the Kingdom of Asura!

Claire is a strict, rigid, and principled person who values ​​family tradition. It would be strange if she had even a little bit of affection for a playboy like Paul.

Moreover, Claire, like Senis, was an extremely devout follower of Milis, and they strictly adhered to the rule of monogamy.

When Lilia's incident came to light, even Senis was furious and ran away from home. Claire, who is even more stubborn and strict than Senis, is now in a very obvious state.

Not only did he abduct her proud daughter for many years, but he was also a scumbag. If it weren't for the sake of Wood and Rudy and their children, Claire would have already considered dismembering Paul.

As for the anger of his mother-in-law Claire and sister-in-law Therese, Paul could only silently endure it at this moment.

After all, he was the real jerk, and even if he wanted to turn against her, he might not be able to defeat his mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Paul looked to his wife for help, but Senis, upon noticing his gaze, turned her head away and pretended to look at the Wood siblings with a kind smile.

Out of desperation, Paul could only turn to his son Rudy, who had noticed them, for help.

Rudy shrugged, indicating he couldn't help. As a fellow pervert from the Grellat family, he could understand his father's feelings.

Unfortunately, this was also the first time Rudy had met his grandmother and aunt, and he didn't have a good impression of them. Speaking up for Paul might not only have no effect, but could even get him into trouble himself.

With his wife and eldest son unreliable, Paul could only turn to his most dependable second son, Wood, for help.

Unfortunately, the most reliable person in the family is currently being pestered by his two younger sisters to tell him stories, and has no time to pay attention to Paul.

Paul and Senis had been married for many years and had three children, Rudy, Wood, and Norren, so humanely euthanizing them was clearly out of the question.

As a woman, Lilia was also a victim, and the Latorrea family did not make things difficult for her. Furthermore, Claire and Therese genuinely loved the sensible Aisha.

So Paul's punishment was to write a guarantee that he would never have an affair with another woman again, or he would be unable to do that kind of thing again. Claire herself was the one who carried out the order!

During his time at the Latorrea’s house, Paul could only sleep in the stables; the Latorrea family wouldn’t provide him with any extra rooms.

In short, this is the anger from the mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and it's only because Paul gave birth to such an outstanding child as Wood.

At night, everyone at the Latorrea family home, whether it was Rudy and Cliff who had been traveling for many days, or Paul sleeping in the stable, all quickly fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Wood had originally planned to conserve his energy and prepare to go to the Church of Milis the next day to make contact with the "God of Men," but the main problem was that he simply couldn't sleep.

Because his two younger sisters, Norren and Aisha, and even Senis, would stay in his room and refuse to leave, even if Wood said he was going to sleep, these girls would still follow him to his bed.

Norren and Aisha relied solely on their brother, Wood, whom they hadn't seen for two years. Now, the two little ones missed Wood so much that they didn't want to leave him for even a moment.

As for Senis, it was because Paul went to sleep in the stable, and her guilt and longing for Wood over the past two years also caused her some psychological trauma.

She is terrified that this is all a dream, and that when she wakes up, Wood will disappear from her sight and everything will return to normal.

“Mother, it’s one thing if you don’t take Norren and Aisha away, but it’s a bit strange that you’re staying here with me.”

I'm not a child anymore! And I've said it many times, I've truly come back to life, I won't just die so easily.

Looking at Senis, who was clinging to her pillow and refusing to leave her room, Wood also looked exasperated.

Two younger sisters are one thing, but Senis is a hot blonde beauty, and Wood is already thirteen or fourteen years old. Although there's no possibility that his filial piety might turn sour, this is still inappropriate!

"What do you mean by 'not so easy to die'? You mean you'll still die, right?"

Senis had become unusually perceptive and quickly caught the flaw in Wood's words. Her previously smiling face turned serious as she looked at Wood and asked him a question.

"Well, everyone dies eventually, and this world is always full of unexpected events, like the previous 'Great Transfer Incident'..."

I don’t know why, maybe it’s the bloodline suppression, or maybe it’s because Senis is Wood’s “only” mother, so Wood can never lie in front of her, especially when he looks into her eyes.

Will Wood die? That's almost certain, since "Multiverse Life Simulation" ends with death.

The possibility of natural death is not nonexistent, but the probability is extremely low. Therefore, Wood cannot guarantee that he will not die due to an accident or encounter with a powerful enemy in this life simulation.

However, Wood's vague answer clearly failed to satisfy Senis. She used both hands to turn Wood's head to face her, then looked him straight in the eyes and said, "What the hell is this 'people die'? What the hell is this 'accident'? What kind of answer is that!"

Don't try to fool me. Are you planning to do something dangerous again?

No, thinking about it now, sending you to deal with that guy called "Human God" tomorrow would have been extremely dangerous!

“That’s right, I’ve made up my mind. Tomorrow, our whole family, including your grandmother and aunt, will leave the Holy Kingdom of Milis. As for the Milis Church and such, we don’t need to worry about it anymore.”

If your maternal grandmother and aunt disagree, then just be forceful. With your abilities, I'm sure you can handle it.

Looking at Senis, who was already somewhat delirious, Wood's head throbbed even more. He realized that after his "resurrection," his mother Senis's protectiveness towards him seemed to have become extremely strong.

In Senis's view, the "human god" was undoubtedly a very dangerous existence. Although the other party was the enemy of their Grellat family, Senis now felt that they didn't necessarily need to settle scores with the other party.

Wood has come back to life, so his family can easily find a safe place to continue their secluded life.

They can't afford to offend the gods and humans, but they can avoid them. Compared to the safety of their own son, a mere grudge is nothing.

Moreover, they had already informed the Dragon God Orsteed about the matter of the God of Man in the Church of Milis. The enmity between the God of Man and Orsteed was a true blood feud. Even if they did not risk their lives, the Dragon God Orsteed would still take action against the God of Man.

“Senes, the human god is not that simple. If he were so easy to deal with, the dragon god Orsteed would not have chased him for more than two hundred cycles.”

Moreover, Rudy has already been targeted by the gods. Even if our family puts aside past grievances and finds a place to live in seclusion, they will not let us go.

"The power of the gods can predict Rudy's future. No matter where we move, he will be able to find us. Therefore, eliminating him to prevent future troubles is the best course of action."

Upon hearing Wood's explanation, Senis wanted to say something more, but unfortunately, Wood didn't give her the chance and knocked her down with a single chop.

"Actually, I agree with my mother's point of view. Your decision to face the gods and men alone is too dangerous and impulsive."

Besides, I'm the one being targeted by the gods; it's been me who's dragging you down from the beginning.

If you choose a place to live in seclusion and completely sever all ties with me, without even revealing the location of your seclusion, I think even gods and men wouldn't be able to find you.

As Wood prepared to carry the unconscious Senis back to her room, another figure suddenly appeared behind the door and said the following words.

Wood was not surprised at all by the other party's sudden appearance, because his Observation Haki had already detected the other party, but he had just kept quiet about it.

After two years apart, Rudy also had a lot of questions to ask Wood, so he planned to talk to Wood alone late at night.

But to his surprise, his mother and sisters were also bothering Wood, which is why Rudy chose to hide to the side and wait.

What Rudy just said was truly from the bottom of his heart; in his previous life, he was a lonely man.

Although he has a younger brother, that brother despises his otaku identity. Forget about familial affection, all Rudy can feel from his brother is disgust and loathing.

In this world, Rudy rediscovered the power of family. Although he almost lost this precious thing because of his own lack of appreciation, this time Rudy didn't want to be a burden to his family again!

"What nonsense are you talking about? The reason why family members are called family members is that they are relatives who face everything together."

Even though Senis was very angry just now, she never said she would abandon you. If she knew this, she would probably be very sad.

"Rudy, to be honest, I feel quite gratified. You used to be quite weak-willed, but now you can say such things for your family, which has really impressed me."

Looking at it this way, my two years haven't been wasted. At least you seem much more mature and reliable than before.

As for what I'm giving up on, please don't say anymore. I don't have the habit of abandoning my family.

Furthermore, since this "human god" has his eye on my family, I have no intention of letting him go. He's a good-for-nothing who only knows how to hide from XZ; what reason do we have to fear him?

After saying this, Wood patted Rudy on the shoulder and left.

When Senis woke up the next day and remembered what had happened the night before, she began frantically searching for her son, Wood, early in the morning.

"As for Wood and Rudy, the two brothers took Rudy's classmate Cliff to the church in Milis early this morning."

This is the information Senis received from her husband Paul, who was feeding the horses.

Upon learning that Wood and Rudy had ultimately gone to the Church of Milis to search for the so-called "God of Men," Senis became so anxious that she grabbed Paul's shoulders and began shaking him frantically.
