Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Seeing that the two were unresponsive to his cries, Rudy was now extremely anxious and worried. He desperately wanted to get closer to Wood and the others and stop the fight.

Unfortunately, he had already exhausted all his strength to get this far, and with his current power, he was completely unable to go any further.

To be honest, over the past two years, Rudy has undergone incredibly rigorous training to atone for his guilt, protect his family in Wood's place, and also to save Wood from other timelines.

With his innate immense magical power, incantation-free magic, almost all magical attributes, and the "Mystic Eyes" that can compensate for his physical weaknesses and allow him to anticipate his opponent's moves, Rudy's current strength is actually comparable to the legendary "Seven Great Powers".

Even so, Rudy felt a deep sense of powerlessness as he sensed the aftershocks of Wood and Alstead's battle.

These two individuals are at such a high level of strength that even for the other members of the "Seven Great Powers," let alone participating in the battle, the difficulty of even standing directly in front of them is extremely high.

Having made it this far and repeatedly used magic diffusion to shout, Rudy was already nearing his limit.

Because of his limited remaining magic power, Rudy dared not shout anything out. He needed to think carefully and organize his thoughts before continuing to expend magic power to shout.

After all, he had limited magic power left, and if he wasted it, he wouldn't even have the chance to wake up Wood and the others.

Rudy didn't know much about the dragon god Alsteed, but he knew more or less about his twin brother Wood.

Wood had always been indifferent to the world and his own life. But when it came to things that Wood would value, Rudy thought long and hard, finally organized his thoughts, and used his last bit of magic to amplify his voice and shout.

"Wood, if you keep fighting like this, Senis will get angry."

"And if this world is destroyed, Norren and Aisha will die too. Didn't you say before that you would become their knight?"

Chapter 509 The Battle of the Strongest Has Ended!

Wood, caught up in the fierce battle, was indeed unable to hear any sound, nor could he sense Rudeus's presence.

In the heat of battle, he and Alsterd were completely absorbed in the fight, their only thought being how to defeat each other.

The more elite a warrior is, the more focused they will be during battle. Clearly, Wood and Alstead are in such a state right now.

However, there are always exceptions, especially when it comes to someone's sore spot or sensitive words. No matter the circumstances, these words will not be selectively filtered.

Especially for some people who are obsessed with their younger sisters, the names of their younger sisters are considered special words.

Rudy had tried many methods to awaken Wood, such as the end of the world or a human survival crisis, but Wood did not respond to any of them.

It wasn't until Rudy's magic began to run out that he realized that to awaken someone, you have to start with what they care about or who they care about.

Having grown up together since childhood, Rudy hadn't noticed anything that Wood had a great interest in, nor did he seem to have any particular hobbies.

But when it comes to people he cares about, several faces flash through Rudy's mind.

Among them are Senis, Alice, Norren, and Aisha, all of whom are the most important people in Wood's life.

Without a doubt, Paul and himself were definitely not among the faces that appeared in Rudy's mind, because in his opinion, Senis and Noren were clearly a level above him and Paul in Wood's eyes.

And as it turned out, Rudy's previous guess and decision were quite correct. Wood, who had not responded to his calls before, suddenly cleared his warlike eyes when he heard the names Senis, Norren and Aisha.

And when he looked around again at the surrounding environment and the huge platinum dragon in front of him, Wood was stunned to realize that they had almost forgotten about the outside world because they were so engrossed in the fight.

Having activated the "Heart of God," used the "Blessing of the Sword Saint," and employed all three types of Haki, along with the secret technique of his divine weapon "Winter Knight," Wood has truly unleashed his full power.

Even so, he still couldn't suppress the Dragon God Orsteed, who was going all out.

If the fight continues, the outcome is uncertain. Once night falls again, Wood's other blessing, "Blessing of the Moon," will take effect once more, and his strength will be enhanced once more.

However, neither the "Heart of God" nor the "Winter Knight" techniques are skills that can be used for a long time. The longer the battle goes on, the more disadvantageous the situation will become for Wood.

In general, Wood and Alsteed at full strength should be able to maintain a stalemate, and it is possible to continue to determine a winner, but the current situation obviously does not allow it.

Wood had regained consciousness at Rudy's shouts. Although seeking revenge against the Dragon God had always been one of his obsessions, it paled in comparison to the safety of Norren and Aisha.

His battle with the dragon god Orsteed had lasted for almost two days and one night, and it was time to come to an end.

"It seems you're planning to call it a day. But that's fine. I've always hated pointless battles. If we both end up badly injured here, the one laughing the most will be that guy, the god of men."

From the very beginning, Alstead did not want to fight Wood, but instead planned to recruit him. However, after the battle, Alstead was shocked to find that the boy he could easily crush two years ago had grown to this level!

Although the battle was still undecided, Alstead understood that given Wood's demonstrated fighting prowess, it was clearly impossible for him to recruit him as a follower again.

However, the result wasn't too bad. In fact, the stronger Wood's combat power was, the better it was for Alsteid, because both Wood and Alsteid had a common enemy: the God of Man!

Since it's impossible to recruit them as subordinates, it's good to have them as allies since they share the same enemy. Nothing is more reassuring than having such a powerful ally.

Alsted now realizes that the reason he has been unable to defeat the gods and humans in all his more than two hundred reincarnations is because he has always been fighting alone.

But in this cycle, he encountered Wood, whose combat power was off the charts and beyond the calculations of gods and men, as well as Rudeus, who was always very concerned about gods and men and whose strength was also quite remarkable.

Orsteed now believes that, compared to the previous two hundred-plus cycles, his chances of winning this time are considerably higher!

The battle at Wood's Alstead has ceased, and the strange occurrences around it have gradually subsided, but the damaged areas are clearly beyond repair.

No, it should be said that if it were Orsteed, he might be able to restore everything to its original state using his dragon clan's secret arts, but the Dragon God said that he had no intention of doing so at the moment.

There was no other reason, because even though he had become a Dragon God with a magical power comparable to a vast ocean, his magical power had still been greatly depleted after the battle with Wood. Therefore, he had no intention of wasting any more power on such meaningless things.

After the battle subsided, Rudy and the others were supposed to return to the Holy Kingdom of Milis immediately to deal with the matter of Ratal, the believer of God and Man. However, after a fierce battle with Orsteed, Wood collapsed from exhaustion and fell into a coma...

Unfortunately, great power often comes at a price. Compared to the Dragon God's innate strength, Wood's power comes more from the amplification and enhancement of various buff skills.

Whether it's the secret techniques of the "Winter Knight" or the power of the "Heart of God," these powers are strong enough, but the side effects are also enormous. When the power is amplified, Wood can even dominate everything, but once the power recedes like a tide, his body often becomes as vulnerable as if it has been completely drained.

The side effects of the "Heart of God" and "Winter Knight" techniques are enormous. When Wood released these two powers, the loss of life force, coupled with the physical erosion caused by the divine artifact techniques, instantly drained his mental and physical strength.

For this reason, Senis and the others stayed in this area at the border between the continent of Milis and the central continent for a full two days.

Rudy and Paul originally planned to bring the comatose Wood to the capital of Milis, which would save a lot of time, and Wood would also receive better care at the Lartoria's house.

However, this suggestion was immediately rejected by Senis, because in her opinion, a long journey would only increase Wood's burden, and in Senis's view, the capital of Milis was not safe at all!

Although Ratal, the leader of the church's "rebel faction," has been captured, who can say for sure whether the rebels still have any remaining forces?

What if some other guy like "Qatar" or "Yattar" suddenly appears?

What if that cunning "god-man" learns of Wood's current state and suddenly lies in wait in the capital of Milis, ready to take advantage of Wood's weakness?

In short, Senis has become unusually sensitive. Having experienced the pain of losing her child, she now doesn't even trust anyone.

Whether it was wiping Wood's body while he was unconscious or feeding him liquid food, Senis did not entrust the task to anyone else, not even her other son Rudius or her husband Paul!

Paul and the others even thought Senis was a bit obsessed and neurotic because of her vigilance. Surprisingly, the dragon god Alsteed thought Senis's vigilance was necessary. In order to protect the unconscious Wood, Alsteed and others have not left the place for the past two days.

Only Alsted, who had hunted down the god-human for more than two lifetimes, understood that when facing such an incredibly cunning being as the god-human, no amount of caution was ever necessary.

The opponent's greatest strength lies in manipulating people's weaknesses. Although the Dragon God considers the Human God's own strength to be utterly pathetic, the opponent's ability to distort reality is far more dangerous.

The most effective way to deal with a god is to shut down your five senses and fight him one-on-one.

In a one-on-one duel, the opponent cannot use their power to control the people around you. By shutting down your five senses, you can avoid being mentally manipulated by gods or humans. In short, it completely filters out the opponent's trash talk.

Orsteed agreed with Senis's approach for a reason. Although the conditions in the capital of Milis were good, there were many people and eyes, and it was inevitable that gods and men would take advantage of the situation.

But this place is different. It's a desolate wilderness, sparsely populated, and even if gods or humans had ideas, they wouldn't dare to show themselves here.

As for why Alstead was so concerned about Wood, it wasn't because the two sides developed feelings for each other during this battle.

Instead, through this battle, Alstead truly understood Wood's strength. But because of this, Alstead was even more worried that Wood would be bewitched by the gods and become their pawn.

Do not doubt the power of gods and men to bewitch people. The first Dragon God and the Five Dragon Generals were much stronger than them, but in the end they still became pawns manipulated by gods and men at will.

Laplace knew everything, was extremely wary of gods and men, and even made complete preparations for it, yet he still died in the second great war against gods and men.

Wood is so powerful, it would be best if he could become an ally. Even if he can't become an ally, at least he shouldn't turn into an enemy.

Back in the capital of Milis, what if the weakened Wood is used by the gods and men to become their pawn and enemy?

Although the possibility of this is very low, it is not entirely impossible. Therefore, the Dragon God Orsteed wanted to completely eliminate this possibility, which is why he supported Senis and even stayed behind to act as her bodyguard.

With even the Dragon God Orsteed on Senis's side, Paul, Rudy, and the others were naturally powerless. Senis was already extremely powerful, and now with the Dragon God backing her up, everyone could only obediently follow Senis's orders.

Two days later, Wood had woken up and his magic had recovered to about 70-80%. Apart from some dragon scales on his body, there were almost no other abnormalities.

Wood, feeling perfectly fine, initially wanted to act on his own, but Senis sternly refused. Even though he was completely healthy, he was still being fed by his mother…

"Mother, my body is really completely fine now. Don't be fooled by how frightening these dragon scales look; they have no effect on my body at all."

"I'm already fourteen. If Noren and Aisha saw me still needing you to feed me, they'd laugh at me, their older brother."

In response to Wood's rebuttal, Senis, sitting in front of him, immediately put on a stern face and said, "If they dare to laugh at you, tell Mother, and I'll spank their bottoms for you."

You're injured now, you deserve extra care, and don't you even think about why you ended up like this!"

Senis had no intention of taking Wood's advice seriously, and forcefully shoved the wooden spoon in her hand into Wood's mouth, her expression full of anger as she looked at him.

Seeing Senis's expression, Wood could only helplessly admit defeat. He understood perfectly why Senis was angry. It was nothing more than knocking her unconscious that night and then taking it upon himself to challenge the Dragon God, which led to his current predicament.

Because he was in the wrong, Wood didn't dare to argue, but he was really struggling to contain Senis's overflowing maternal love.

On the third day, when Wood had fully recovered and his group was preparing to return to the Holy Kingdom of Milis, outsiders arrived in the area.

Furthermore, the people who came here were not ordinary individuals, but rather a group of individuals who could be considered powerful.

There were ten people who came to this place, nine of whom were wearing knight's armor. Judging from their equipment, they should be knights from a certain kingdom, and the level of their armor also suggests that they should have a high status in their own kingdom.

However, besides these nine knights in armor, there is another person in the opposing team who is truly worth noting.

Judging from the clothes the other person is wearing, they should be from the style of the Demon Continent, because Rijrud, who met Rudy and the others before, was wearing similar clothes.

It wasn't just the difference in clothing; this middle-aged man, unlike the other seemingly dignified and upright knights, actually had a skeletal face and exuded a sinister aura.
