Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Moreover, this feeling was different from that of Latar; compared to his so-called followers, the other party seemed more like someone who was being manipulated.

I'm certain that even if the other person's consciousness wasn't influenced by a deity, at least not long ago, a deity appeared in their consciousness, just like you did before.

Previously, Wood was unable to detect the presence of the "human god," but since being tricked, he has been able to sense the other party's aura like the dragon god.

In Wood's perception, the Dragon King at this moment possessed the stench of a "human god"!

"So what should we do now? The other party is the King of Wanglong. If we take action against him, we will basically be making an enemy of his entire kingdom."

"With just the two of us... well, with your strength you might be able to rival a kingdom, but you wouldn't want to destroy the Dragon King Kingdom, would you?"

Rudy originally wanted to persuade Wood to calm down. There were only two of them, while the other party had a kingdom behind them. If they attacked the king, they might not be able to leave the kingdom alive.

But when Rudy thought of the power Wood displayed when fighting the dragon god Alsteed, he fell silent again. He realized that with Wood's current strength, it didn't seem impossible for him to destroy a kingdom.

"It's still too early to determine whether the other party has any connection with the gods. In any case, let's win this academic competition first."

If I get excellent grades, I can directly meet King Wanglong and receive a reward, right?

Originally, they thought it was just a formality, but unexpectedly, they gained something. As long as it was about gods and humans, Wood and his team would not slack off. So, in the following academic competition, Wood and Rudy, who originally just planned to go through the motions, really took it seriously.

However, even if they don't take it seriously, their so-called opponents are clearly not even in the same league as them.

Although everyone was around fourteen or fifteen years old, and some were even older students, three to five years older than Wood and Rudy.

However, while ability and knowledge are related to age, they are not absolute.

There are also geniuses and prodigies in the world whose outrageous talents and innate advantages are enough to crush 99.9% of hard-working geniuses.

In the so-called academic competition, whether in theory or practice, Wood and Rudy did not encounter anyone who could be called an "opponent".

Even though the students from the Magic Academy of the Dragon Kingdom had obtained the exam questions in advance through underhanded means, Rudy was still able to leave them speechless with his extensive magical knowledge in the knowledge competition.

Occasionally, when encountering situations beyond its capabilities, this thing can use its "precognitive ability" to cheat and know the answers to be revealed in advance.

If Rudy is in this state, then Wood is even more so. Possessing magical knowledge from multiple worlds, he has, strictly speaking, reached the level of a "sage."

Sometimes his answers were not only perfect, but also beyond the scope of the curriculum. By "beyond the scope," he meant that even the instructors at the Dragon King Academy couldn't understand them, and only after Wood explained them did they finally understand.

If this applies to knowledge-based competitions, it goes without saying that it applies even more to practical competitions.

Students carefully selected by Wanglong Academy who can use "intermediate magic" at this age are already considered exceptionally talented.

But what about their opponents, Wood and Rudy? One has already mastered "Emperor-level magic," and the other mastered "King-level magic" at the age of ten. What can a bunch of kids who only know "Intermediate-level magic" and take forever to chant have to fight against them?

The final result was obvious: Wood and Rudy were far ahead in the rankings, and none of their students could even last until the second move.

As the situation gradually spiraled out of control, the dean of Wanglong Academy finally stepped forward and announced that this year's academic competition would no longer simply select a champion, but would instead select the three most outstanding individuals.

The reason for changing the rules is simple: if things continue at this pace, the champion will either be Wood or Rudy, while their academy won't even get a second place. This is no longer just a matter of losing face.

If the headmaster had known from the beginning that Wood and Rudy were such perverts and monsters, he would never have agreed to let them participate in the academic competition.

Surprisingly, the third winner, besides Wood and Rudy, was none other than the previously useless Prince Pacus.

When the three were summoned before King Wanglong and asked what reward they desired, Parcus blurted out that he wanted to marry the eighteenth princess, Benedict Gingdragoon.

Benedict is the eighteenth princess of the Kingdom of Wanglong. Although she has the title of princess, she is not recognized as a child of the royal family. She is a person with little emotional fluctuation and is called a useless princess who knows nothing by the Kingdom of Wanglong.

Abandoned, she was illiterate and had never communicated with anyone. She was confined to the narrow palace until she met Pacus, the only one who was willing to get close to her and communicate with her.

Perhaps due to their shared perception of each other as worthless, the two quickly became each other's source of inspiration and feelings developed between them.

Although Benedict was not highly regarded, she still had the title of princess. Although Pakus was also a prince, King Wanglong disliked him for having no status and demanded that he return to the Kingdom of Shilon and take up an important position before he would agree to the marriage. Pakus gladly accepted.

After inquiring about the reward that Pacus wanted, King Wanglong quickly turned his attention to the twin brothers Wood and Rudy.

To be honest, King Wanglong was more concerned about the twin brothers Wood and Rudy than about Pacus, who was previously known as the "useless prince".

He had also seen the previous academic competitions, and Parkus's performance was only average. The real standouts were the Wood and Rudy brothers.

Both of them performed exceptionally well, both in terms of knowledge and practical skills.

Magical knowledge that even the academy instructors couldn't understand, a spell without incantation powerful enough to defeat other opponents in one strike, and more importantly, Wood and Rudy both look so young. What else could this be but a talent?

Pakus is a prince of the Kingdom of Xilong. Even if he is useless, he still has the blood of the Xilong royal family in his veins. It is obviously impossible to bring him under the command of the Kingdom of Wanglong.

But Wood and Rudy are different. As long as they are not princes, King Wanglong is confident that he can offer them a reward that will tempt them to stay in the Wanglong Kingdom.

King Wang Long was never stingy when it came to truly talented people; even marrying off his own daughter wasn't a big problem for him.

Unlike other royal families, he had a huge number of children, so much so that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he had a multitude of children.

Benedict was the eighteenth princess; one can only imagine how many sons and daughters His Majesty the King had.

"Your previous performances have truly broadened my horizons. I never expected that you two, at your age, would possess such extensive knowledge and formidable strength."

State your demands, and I will reward you with anything within my power.

Upon hearing what King Wanglong said, Wood didn't stand on ceremony and looked directly at the middle-aged man in front of him, saying, "We want to know about the matter of gods and men. I think Your Majesty should have met someone who claimed to be a god not long ago, right?"

For some reason, the King of Dragons, who had been looking at Wood and Rudy with a friendly demeanor, suddenly changed his expression upon hearing Wood's question. He quickly slammed his hand on the armrest of his throne and stood up angrily, saying, "These two are traitors who will endanger our country! Guards, seize them and throw them into the dungeon for interrogation!"

The situation changed so suddenly that many people present hadn't even fully reacted before a large number of guards and knights entered the scene, armed with weapons, and surrounded Wood and Rudy.

"Wood, aren't you being a bit too direct? It's clear you're not planning to let us off the hook at all..."

Seeing hundreds of dragon knights surrounding them, and more ordinary soldiers gradually entering the fray, Rudy, who was surrounded, wore a bitter expression.

He should have acted alone or followed the dragon god Orsteed. He found that following Wood seemed to easily draw him into conflicts and battles.

He had been having a smooth time at the academy for the past two years, but Wood had only just returned when he was immediately thrown into a series of battles.

Chapter 515: Two against one kingdom!

"It's not a question of whether I asked it directly or not, but rather that this King Wanglong is clearly already a puppet of the gods and men."

He seemed relatively normal just now, but when I asked him about the gods, the stench emanating from him, which was that of a god, suddenly burst forth.

This King Wanglong is not a believer in the god of man, but merely his puppet. In ordinary political affairs, King Wanglong may still be in control.

However, once a person or god needs to perform actions, their spirit will be possessed or guided by it.

To put it simply, the creature before us is no longer King Wanglong, but rather a being controlled by a god we know.

Upon hearing what Wood said, King Wanglong burst into laughter, then looked at Wood with a solemn expression and said, "My feeling was right. Your existence really will create a variable."

I'm also puzzled. You should have died at the hands of the Dragon God two years ago, so how did you manage to be resurrected?

Who exactly are you? Or rather, what exactly are you?

Even so-called beings from another world, or gods of this world, shouldn't be able to do such a thing.

Since the events that occurred in the capital of Milis, both gods and men have known that Wood, who should have died, has been resurrected.

Upon learning of this, the man who was originally staying at the Church of Milis and plotting to harm Rudy's family did not hesitate at all and immediately packed up and ran away.

The reason is simple: the previous gods and men found Wood to be unpredictable and extremely dangerous.

Now, two years later, the other party has achieved a resurrection that even he cannot comprehend, so the gods and men are naturally even more wary of him.

The god-man's actions were all aimed at becoming the "only god" in this world, but as far as he knew, even the so-called "god" could not achieve a resurrection like Wood.

In short, Wood's abilities were beyond his comprehension and understanding, to the point that he, who had previously only felt wary of Wood, now even felt fear.

Humans fear the unknown, and even so-called gods are no exception.

The reason why the god of man has been targeting Rudeus in that way is simply because he has an extremely strong vision of the future, he can see Rudeus's fate, and he can sense that Rudeus's existence may lead to his own defeat. That is why he has been scheming and monitoring Rudeus, and even trying to break him down in various ways.

"What I am is not important, but one thing I am very clear about is that if anyone dares to touch my family, even if they are a god, I will kill them!"

As Wood's magic erupted, the terrifying magic materialized and formed a cylinder that shot straight into the sky, creating a huge vortex in the air.

A chilling aura emanated from Wood, so much so that the ground he stood on was covered with a thick layer of frost in just a few breaths.

The dragon knights who had been surrounding Wood and his group were now shocked as they felt the magical storm right in front of them.

Such ridiculously powerful magical energy was hard for them to believe, as the person who unleashed it was actually a human boy who looked to be less than fifteen years old.

If it weren't for the obvious human features on the other party, they would have thought they were facing a terrifying ancient monster.

"It turns out that Luo Qixi wasn't talking nonsense before. Compared to the two of them, I really am not even a so-called mediocre talent."

Watching Wood unleash a towering pillar of magic, Pakus, standing to the side, wore a similarly surprised yet complex expression.

When Lokishi was his tutor, the people she talked about most often were Wood, who could learn by analogy, and Rudy, who had a great talent for magic.

After being exiled to the Kingdom of Wanglong, Pakus, who was diligently studying magic, thought that even if he was not as good as the twin brothers that Loki had mentioned, he was at least close to them.

But now, seeing the powerful magic Wood was unleashed, which was even enough to cause celestial phenomena, Pakus realized with a self-deprecating smile that although Loki's words were a bit harsh, they were not exaggerated at all, and were even somewhat reserved.

When Pakus saw the magic power erupting from Wood, he was completely speechless. This was no human genius; the other party was a complete monster!

"King-level Ice Attribute Magic - Winter's Abyss!"

A terrifying chill emanated from Wood's body, and a massive magic circle centered on him expanded outwards at an astonishing speed, like a carpet!

Visible icicles pierced the ground, and then, like tree branches, numerous forked branches quickly grew from the huge icicles and began to extend in all directions.

In just a few minutes, the square, which was originally paved with stone bricks, underwent a complete transformation. The ground was covered with thick ice, and icicles and trees transformed the area within a radius of several kilometers into a land of ice and thorns.

"I don't want to be your enemy, but you probably don't know that your King of the Dragon Kingdom is no longer the same person he used to be."

He is currently being manipulated, and the person manipulating him is my mortal enemy. Therefore, anyone who tries to stop me is our foe.

This is just a warning. If you remain obstinate, we will not be lenient, and you should not doubt our capabilities!
