Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

He looks down on ordinary people and never takes the initiative to befriend anyone, which has resulted in Alsted still being all alone after more than two hundred reincarnations.

"Well, what you say makes sense. Compared to you, I do hate insidious and scheming people even more."

But you'll probably have to solve Alice's problem yourself. I can't persuade her otherwise. After all, you almost killed her two years ago, so it's normal for her to hate you.

Upon hearing Wood's words, Alstead was speechless. He knew perfectly well that the main reason Alice hated him was because she had wanted to kill Wood before, and it had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, Wood's claim that he couldn't persuade Alice was utter nonsense. Although Alstead didn't know much about matters between men and women, he could tell that Alice's eyes were almost entirely on Wood, and there was no way he couldn't persuade her.

Wood said that simply to get something out of him in order to make up for Alice's losses over the past two years.

Even though he had guessed Wood's sinister intentions, Alster had no other choice but to accept the brutal defeat. Since discovering that Wood and Rudy were almost natural enemies of "humans and gods," he was now even less likely to abandon the powerful ally, the Grellat family.

"Girl, what happened to the Crimson Dragon's jaw two years ago was all a misunderstanding."

But it cannot be denied that I did have some impact and caused some harm to you and the Grerat family at that time.

I've already made compensation to Grellat's family. As for you, I'll give you this knife as compensation.

With your swordsmanship skills, you shouldn't be wasting the potential of this sword.

Wood was dumbfounded when he saw Alsteed reach into the magic circle and pull out a longsword.

He originally intended to help Alice extract some benefits from Orsteed, after all, the other party was the Dragon God.

As everyone knows, dragons love to collect all sorts of rare treasures, and Wood believed that if the other party was a dragon god, then he must be even richer.

Wood never expected that, in order to make up for it, Alsterd would actually give Alice the "Demon Sword - Finger Fold" that he had used in the previous battle!

The Demon Sword Finger Breaker was a longsword that Orsteed used himself before. Putting aside its other abilities, the fact that it could collide with Wood's "Winter Knight" which was entangled with "Dominion" and remain unscathed is enough to prove how extraordinary this longsword is.

“I don’t need your stuff. You think you can make me forget what you did to Wood with just a broken knife? You’re dreaming!”

Alsted took out the Demon Sword Finger Breaker to make up for Alice's mistake, and Wood was practically bursting with laughter inside. However, Alice, with her straightforward and single-minded personality, completely failed to see through Wood's intentions and even complained that the Demon Sword Finger Breaker given by Alsted was too weak...

"While the Demon Sword - Finger Breaker may not seem like a particularly remarkable thing to me, it should be considered a very rare treasure to you humans."

"At this sword's price, buying an entire human town wouldn't be a problem at all. Even compared to your other demonic sword, it's far superior."

That's right, the other sword Alice had before was also no ordinary weapon. It was the Demon Sword - Throat Flute, a gift from the old Sword God when she defeated him and was about to leave the Land of Sword Saints.

A sword that can be called a "magic sword" is generally a sword with magical effects. The craftsmanship of such swords is extremely advanced, and it is even said that the technique has been lost. Therefore, each magic sword is very expensive.

Putting everything else aside, the magic sword that Orstid took out—the Finger Breaker—is said to be able to buy a town, which is definitely a conservative estimate.

After all, this is the magic sword used by the Dragon God himself in battle. The magic contained within it may even be a secret technique of the Dragon Clan itself, so its price and rarity are self-evident.

Alice was still stubbornly trying to say something more, until Wood, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore and gave her a whack on the head.

He then quickly snatched the magic sword from Alsterd's hand and shoved it into his arms, saying, "Are you fucking stupid? This magic sword could buy a palace. This is just compensation from the Dragon God."

Just because you took his things doesn't mean you can't continue to dislike him. Once the cooperation between humans and gods is over, you can always go and cause him trouble again.

Wood didn't try to lower his voice, and when he heard what he said, Alstead was even more speechless.

This is a classic case of wanting to keep one's virginity even after being a prostitute! He suddenly felt that his Demon Sword - Finger Breaker was probably a waste.

At the same time, he made up his mind that after killing the human god, he would use the secret techniques of the dragon race to go to other reincarnations and never dare to have any contact with the Grerat family again.

Damn it, this whole family is full of crazy women and cunning, sly men. He, the Dragon God, is still too naive.

"Why are you here! Are you here to kill me?"

Alice and Wood reunited, while Rudy and Hilfi, having recognized each other, were now catching up on old times. This forced the six-armed giant present to speak up again to prove his presence.

What Badigandi said at this moment was naturally directed at the Dragon God Orsteed, because the others, whether Wood or Rudy, were meeting this Demon Emperor for the first time, and there was no way they could have any interaction with him.

"Oh, it's you. My presence here is purely by chance. I have no interest in you whatsoever, and there's no way I would have traveled all this way to hunt you down."

Hearing Olsteed's flat voice and calm expression, Badigandi chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"That's true. In front of the powerful Dragon God, I'm probably just a nobody. You wouldn't even remember someone like me, let alone go out of your way to find me."

Reason tells me that being your enemy is almost certainly a dead end, but past experiences and emotions prevent me from ignoring your existence. After all, we were once enemies.

Badigandi donned the "Battle God Armor" under the guidance of the gods in order to protect Chisilica from the Dragon God.

In a sense, Badigandi and the Dragon God do indeed have some grudges.

Chapter 528 Wood: I didn't say I only know magic!

Without donning the "Battle God Armor" and becoming a "Battle God," Badigandi's combat power is at most equivalent to the bottom three of the "Seven Great Powers," which is just the average "Peak Emperor-level" level.

Even Budigandi, having only recently been resurrected, is estimated to be weaker than the peak of the Emperor level. Let alone the Dragon God Orsteed, he might not even be a match for Alice or Rudy.

As the Demon King representing wisdom among the demons, Badigandi harbored some resentment towards the Dragon God, but he quickly suppressed it.

Even if he were to fight the Dragon God now, there would be no other possibility than being killed by him again. Moreover, his original purpose in coming here was simply to meet Rudy, who had fought the Dragon God before and survived.

Seeing that the Dragon God didn't seem very interested in him, Badigandi then looked at Wood...

"You must be Rudeus? I came all the way from the Demon Continent to fight you."

Although there have been quite a few twists and turns along the way, you probably won't refuse my challenge, will you?

It's not surprising that Buddy Gundy would mistake them; as twins, Wood and Rudy look exactly alike, and even people who know them but aren't familiar with them sometimes mistake them, let alone Buddy Gundy who has never seen them before.

Especially since Alice had clearly attacked Rudy because of him, Budigandi believed that Alice and Rudy had a very good relationship.

So when he saw Alice lunge at Wood, Buddy Gundy naturally assumed that Wood was the Rudy he was looking for.

Badigandi wanted to challenge Rudy for a simple reason: he wanted to see how far he was from becoming the Dragon God.

Although the Dragon God himself was right in front of him, it was clear that he could not challenge the Dragon God, because the price of doing so would likely be that he would be killed again.

Rudy was able to survive the Dragon God, which means he has the strength to survive. So, if you can defeat Rudy, it means you also have the strength to survive the Dragon God. That's probably what Badigandi was thinking.

After all, few people know about the battle in the Red Dragon's jaws in the Wanglong Mountains two years ago. Many people know that Rudy and the others did survive the Dragon God, but they don't know that it was Wood who stayed behind to cover their retreat and sacrificed himself to achieve this result.

Of course, besides wanting to see the difference between himself and the Dragon God through battle, Badigandi also came with good intentions, hoping to become friends with Rudy.

There was no other reason than that he, Badigandi, disliked the Dragon God, and Rudy had once been an enemy of the Dragon God and fought against him, so he naturally had a good impression of Rudy.

Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, Rudeus seems to have sided with the Dragon God.

"Wait a minute, he's not Lu..."

"Yes, it would be my honor to fight against the Demon King of the Demon Continent. It would be a good opportunity to see what level the so-called Demon Emperor is really at."

Upon hearing Buddy Gundy's challenge to Wood, Rudy on the other side was about to say something when Wood interrupted him first.

"Wood, wait a minute. Although this guy is arrogant, I have to admit he's really strong. Besides, my fight with him isn't over yet, so I should be in charge here..."

Because Alice and Wood had not seen each other for two years, and although Wood was very strong two years ago, Alice believed that she was even stronger now than Wood was two years ago.

Although it was only a brief encounter, Alice could clearly sense that Badigandi was extremely strong, perhaps not much weaker than herself in her current state. Even if she wanted to defeat Badigandi, she would have to use all her strength.

To put it simply, Alice felt that if Wood were to fight Badrigand in his current state, he would most likely be defeated.

Alice didn't want Wood to get hurt or lose, which is why she insisted on going into battle.

"Alice, two years have passed, and you're not the only one who has changed a lot."

Although your strength has improved remarkably, others are not standing still either. Just as he said before, those who hide behind women and seek protection are cowards.

Do you think I'm the kind of coward who cowers behind a woman when challenged to a fight?

After politely declining Alice's offer, Wood took the initiative to walk up to Buddy Gandy. His figure, which only reached the other's waist, showed no fear at all, but instead revealed an extremely surging fighting spirit.

Alice wanted to step forward to stop them, but Rudy stopped her again.

"Alice, just trust Wood. He's fine. He's definitely much stronger now than he was two years ago."

Rudy would have been fine if he hadn't spoken, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was immediately met with a pair of eye rolls from Alice.

"The person that demon king was looking for was clearly you. Why did you send Wood to take the blame for you? Shouldn't the older brother protect the younger brother? But in your family, it's always the younger brother taking care of you, the older brother."

In Alice's opinion, it was very unreasonable to let Wood take the blame when Buddy Gundy was clearly Rudy's enemy.

"You saw it just now, didn't you? I was going to admit it, but Wood himself took the initiative to admit it."

And you really don't need to worry about Wood's safety. Although I don't know how strong the so-called Demon King is, there shouldn't be anyone in this world who could kill Wood right now..."

Rudy didn't know just how powerful the so-called "Demon King" was, but he figured that since Wood had managed to fight the Dragon God to a standstill, even if he was no match for the Demon King, he shouldn't be in any real danger.

However, Rudy's words clearly displeased Orsteed, who had been listening the whole time. He, the Dragon God, was being compared to a mere Demon Emperor by Rudy. In fact, Rudy seemed to think that he was inferior to the so-called "Demon King".

"Demon King? That's just what those ignorant people on the Demon Continent call some Emperor-level demons."

If Wood were to use the same strength he had when fighting me, that guy wouldn't last three rounds!

While the strength of an Emperor-level being may seem remarkable on a continental scale, it's really nothing special in the face of true powerhouses.

Back then, there were quite a few beings of the same caliber as those in the four realms of sea, beast, heaven, and demon, as well as the dragon realm, but in the end, they all died out.

"A mere Demon Emperor. If he were a 'Demon God' who was half of Laplace, he might be a little troublesome, but this guy was just a lackey of the Demon God Laplace before."

The arrogant Dragon God believed that Rudy and the others comparing him to Badigandi was the greatest insult to his strength.

If it were Badigandi wearing the "God of War Armor" and becoming the "God of War," Orstide might find it a little troublesome. But without any equipment, Badigandi is, without exaggeration, someone like Orstide who could take on ten of them by himself!

Wood, who used that mysterious power, could barely hold his own against him, so in Alsted's view, this was never a battle of equal strength.

If Wood were to exert even a little bit of his strength, he could easily crush Badigandi.

"So you are Rudeus, the one who fought the Dragon God and survived?"
