Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

"Mr. Randolph is joking. The conflicts that occurred before were simply due to differences in our positions."

Our only enemies are gods and men, and now that Mr. Randolph has given up, we naturally won't continue this meaningless battle.

Upon hearing Wood's words, the people from the Dragon Kingdom present, as well as Rudy standing to the side, all showed expressions of astonishment, seemingly shocked by Wood's shameless transformation.

One second you were holding a long sword, your aura was surging, and you looked like you wouldn't give up until you killed the other party. Now, in the blink of an eye, you're saying that we just have different positions and that we just need to clear up the misunderstanding.

Even Randolph, who had traveled the continent for many years, couldn't help but look surprised when he heard Wood's words. He realized that he had misjudged Wood.

When he first met Wood, he thought Wood was an impeccable strongman in terms of both strength and personality, but now it seems that Wood's personality is not as noble as he had imagined...

Chapter 520 The Dragon God Who Is Always at Your Call

However, Randolph was also quite relieved about this. Fortunately, Wood's personality was not as noble and stubborn as he had imagined, like a knight. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to continue standing and talking now.

He might be a bit mercenary, but at least he had room for negotiation. If he hadn't been so stubborn, then Randolph would be the one crying now.

"King Wanglong himself is not a god, but is manipulated by a god, so whether he will die in the end is still uncertain. We'll have to wait for that guy, Auersted, to arrive to find out."

Taking down the Dragon King also crippled Wood in some ways, primarily by protecting a large number of the enemy's Dragon Knights.

Secondly, King Wanglong himself was a powerful figure, and probably because of the manipulation of the human god behind the scenes, just when Wood was about to defeat him, the opponent suddenly unleashed a burst of power.

Under that surge of power, King Wanglong's magic power and physique increased several times over in a short period of time!

This explosive power does not originate from gods or humans, but rather from gods and humans obtaining it by burning the soul and life of the Dragon King through a secret method.

The god's idea was simple: by burning the life and soul of the Dragon King, he could gain powerful strength to resist Wood.

On the other hand, even if King Wanglong is no match for Wood, he can still silence him in this way, which can be considered as making use of waste.

But even the gods probably didn't expect that Wood would become that strong two years later.

The already powerful King Wang Long had his strength forcibly increased to the bottom three of the "Seven Great Powers" by having his life and soul burned through a secret technique manipulated by Wood. However, he still had little room to struggle in front of Wood and was eventually knocked unconscious by Wood before his life and soul were exhausted.

The king was captured alive, and even the kingdom's strongest trump card, "Death" Randolph, the fifth-ranked of the seven great powers, didn't have the courage to fight him and surrendered immediately.

As for the dragon knights and ordinary soldiers within the capital, nearly half of them lost their combat ability due to Rudy's magic.

Even if the remaining people are unwilling to accept this, they are completely powerless against the Wood brothers.

Upon hearing the name of the legendary Dragon God from Wood, the people of the Dragon King Kingdom completely gave up resistance.

Wood and Rudy alone were already overwhelming, and now a legendary dragon god has arrived. Even if they ask the surrounding kingdoms for help, they have no hope of winning.

Perhaps because they had only been away from the Holy Kingdom of Milis for a short time, this time when Wood and the others summoned the Dragon God, Orsteed appeared in the capital of the Dragon King Kingdom in less than half a day, and looked at the Dragon King who was lying unconscious on the ground without saying a word.

After parting ways with Wood and the others, Alstead traveled at top speed, and in less than a day, he was about to arrive in the Kingdom of Asra.

Just as he was about to enter the Kingdom of Asra and find out about the believer of the god, a message suddenly came from Wood, leaving Alsted speechless.

He, a dignified dragon god, had wandered the world for many years in search of his enemy, the "human god," but he had not found even the slightest trace of him.

The Grellat family, on the other hand, seemed to be inherently incompatible with the "human god," always finding themselves locked in a fierce battle with him no matter where they went.

Especially Wood Grellatt, Alsted now understands why the God of Man had to eliminate him two years ago, even in order to disrupt his own plans.

Judging from the current situation, the opponent can be described as a "nemesis of gods and men"!

Not to mention that he indirectly thwarted the conspiracy of "Human God" two years ago, he made his first appearance in the Holy Kingdom of Milis two years later, once again breaking the "Human God" plan and exposing the first believer of "Human God".

Based on the information provided by the first believer in the god-human alliance, before they even had a chance to cause trouble for the second believer, they discovered another human king who was being manipulated by the god-human alliance.

However, because of this, Dragon God Alsted was even more grateful for his earlier decision not to turn Wood and the others into enemies, but rather into reliable allies.

Given the pace at which Wood and his team are searching for the God of Man, the day when they find the God of Man, seal him away, or even kill him is almost just around the corner!

Compared to so-called "believers," if a god can manipulate another, it means that they have at least had direct contact with that other person, or even appeared in that other person's consciousness.

Such people undoubtedly have a much deeper connection with the "human god" than so-called believers.

Unable to distinguish between what was important and what was urgent, Orsteed almost without hesitation abandoned the believers of the Asura Kingdom and transformed into his original form, rushing into the clouds and flying at high speed towards the location of the Dragon King Kingdom.

As long as the believers of the gods and humans in the Kingdom of Asura do not alert the enemy, the enemy has no chance of escaping.

But this human king, who was being manipulated by the god, seemed to be nearing his end, according to Wood's telepathic message.

A shadow that blotted out the sky enveloped the entire capital of the Dragon Kingdom. When the people of the Dragon Kingdom looked up and saw that sky-covering figure, they couldn't help but bow down in worship.

On one hand, as the apex predator of the food chain, the dragon aura emanating from Orsteed is so powerful that it inspires fear in all who behold it.

Another reason is that, judging from the name alone, the Kingdom of Wanglong is a kingdom that has always regarded dragons, a powerful race, as its religion and totem because it is located near the Wanglong Mountains.

The enormous, white-gold sky that blotted out the sun quickly transformed into a handsome middle-aged man with white-gold pupils and silver hair, shrouded in a burst of white light.

Having witnessed that scene, everyone present knew that the man before them was none other than the legendary second of the seven great powers, the Dragon God, Orsteed.

Compared to the three most frequently seen figures among the seven great powers – “Death God,” “Sword God,” and “Northern God” – the first few have always been legendary figures to most ordinary people on the continent. However, thanks to this opportunity, they actually have the chance to witness the legendary Dragon God's face.

"What the hell did you do? How did you end up like this? In his current state, even if we could use the Dragon Clan's secret techniques to get some useful information from him, he probably wouldn't survive."

No, it should be said that, given this guy's current state, the clues he could obtain using dragon clan secret techniques would probably be extremely limited.

When he first met King Wanglong, just like Wood had before him, he smelled the strong stench of a "human god" on the other party.

Based on the concentration of the odor, it's not hard to tell that the god-human had only recently left the Dragon King's body.

This discovery also greatly excited Orsteed, because the shorter the time a god is away from another being, the more information they leave behind.

The only drawback was that Orsteed could also see that the Dragon King's life force and soul were almost exhausted, and he was obviously about to die.

To be honest, Orsteed didn't care at all whether the Dragon Kingdom would perish. After all, he, the Dragon God, didn't even consider a mere human king a threat.

What Alsted was concerned about was that, given the opponent's current condition, even if he could use dragon clan secret techniques to search for some useful information on the opponent, he estimated that the opponent wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

"This is not my fault. I tried my best to show mercy. It was that guy, the God of Humanity, who manipulated his body and used some kind of secret technique to kill him and silence him, which is why he ended up like this."

If you had flown here any slower, this guy might be dead.

Hearing Wood and Alstead's oblivious conversation, everyone in the Dragon Kingdom was speechless, and even the so-called royal family members looked helpless.

Their King of the Dragon Kingdom seemed less valuable than a mere sliver of information from that terrifyingly powerful youth and the Dragon God.

And this is the king of a kingdom, and this is their capital. Is it really okay to decide how His Majesty the King will die like this?

"You heard it too, right? Even if we were willing to spare your King, he would basically have no way out."

His soul and life are nearly exhausted, and there's no chance of saving him. So we might as well make use of him and help you find the culprit, and avenge him while we're at it."

Wood's words left the people of the Dragon Kingdom speechless. Did they think that their king's transformation was due to him?

Even if we assume that their king was originally being manipulated by some unknown entity, at least he wouldn't have died so suddenly like this.

"Why waste words with them? If they have any objections, just destroy them and this country together."

After all, if a god could manipulate the king here, there might be other pawns hidden among them.

Compared to Wood's side, Alsteid's side was obviously much more domineering and decisive. In their eyes, there was only the enemy "human god", and anything that stood in their way was an enemy!

Let alone a human kingdom, even an entire continent, if it has anything to do with the existence of "human gods," Orstide will not hesitate to take action!

"Lord Dragon God, you jest. Our King is controlled by that damned god-man. You and Lord Wood are helping us find the mastermind behind this. We are grateful to you and would never stop you."

Please go ahead and do it. For the sake of our entire Dragon Kingdom, I think if Father were sober at this moment, he would definitely agree to do so.

If you are missing anything, please let us know and we will find it for you as soon as possible.

The person who said these words was none other than a prince in the royal family of the Dragon King, who was also the "filial son" whom the Dragon King had previously favored the most.

Clearly, the Kingdom of Wanglong has done a very good job in "being pragmatic". First, the kingdom's strongest "Grim Reaper" decisively admitted defeat and surrendered. Then, the filial prince sacrificed his own family for the sake of the entire kingdom!

Furthermore, the prince's statement was universally agreed upon by other members of the royal family and court officials, with not a single person expressing any dissent.

This scene left Rudy completely stunned. The Dragon Kingdom had been putting up a stubborn resistance, but the speed of this change left him speechless.

Wood, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed by the scene before him. Having experienced the world of "Akame ga Kill!", he had long been accustomed to the true nature of humanity.

Sometimes violence may not be the right way, but it is certainly the most effective measure!

Putting aside the current state of King Wanglong, even if they did nothing, they were basically doomed.

Even if the dragon clan's secret techniques used by Orsteed pose a certain danger to the King of Dragons, would the current King of Dragons dare to defy the Dragon God?

The answer is obviously no. Alsteed's arrival in his true form had already given the people of the Dragon King Kingdom enough of a shock.

To put it bluntly, given Alsted's previous attitude, destroying their kingdom would have been incredibly easy.

If they were to forcefully resist, it wouldn't just be a single King Wanglong who would die; the entire kingdom would be destroyed.

The royal family of the Wanglong Kingdom understood this very well, as did the ministers and nobles in the court.

If the Dragon King is gone, another can be chosen. If handled properly, it may not cause any major unrest. But if the entire kingdom is destroyed by the Dragon God, then there will be nothing left.

Humans are selfish creatures. If the old king doesn't die, how can the new king ascend the throne? So this choice is really not difficult. The people of the Dragon King Kingdom, who had previously put up a stubborn resistance, quickly made a decision and directly abandoned the Dragon King.

The already dying King Long did not last long after being tormented by Auersted before he finally met his end and died.

Although through the secret arts of the dragon race, Orsteed obtained some information, knowing that the barrier sealing the "human god" by the first generation had loosened and that the seal was located at the northernmost edge of the world, he could not find the exact location.

Just as Orsteed was about to search thoroughly, the Dragon King died completely. No matter how powerful his dragon clan's secret arts were, he could not obtain any more information from a body that had neither life nor soul.

"Damn it, I was so close. If this guy could have held on for another ten minutes or so, I would have been able to find the approximate location of that bastard, the God of Man."

Seeing the Dragon King completely lifeless, his body rapidly withering away until he finally turned into dust, a look of resentment appeared on Alsted's face.

Then, as if enraged, he glared at the people of the Dragon Kingdom with an extremely imposing gaze, making them feel uneasy.
