Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

To win this bet, two sword strikes will suffice: one to defeat you, and one to shatter your sword formation!

Seeing Leda Lydia wielding a golden longsword and unleashing the Water God Style technique once more, Wood gripped his 'Winter Knight' tightly, and a sharp wind suddenly swept up around him.

"Water God Style Secret Technique One: Water Flow Rock Smash Battle!"

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Itachi-ryu!"

Leda Lia leaped high into the air, gripping her golden longsword, and unleashed the Water God Style ultimate technique strike she had used before. At the same time, Wood also gripped his 'Winter Knight' and unleashed a swift wind blade slash!

The wind blades that flew out clashed with the golden longsword covered in water in mid-air, unusually without triggering any special effects or powerful aftershocks.

The moment the golden longsword in her hand collided with the wind blade, Leda Lia felt as if her arm was being subjected to tons of pressure.

She had previously clashed head-on with the Demon Wolf King. Although she didn't have much of an advantage in pure strength compared to his massive beastly body, she wasn't at a significant disadvantage either.

But this time, she only caught Wood's slash, and the terrifying pressure from the sword bent her arm completely in an instant!

The Water God Style Secret Technique that she had originally unleashed was not only shattered instantly by the opponent's wind blade, but the huge crescent-shaped wind blade, after destroying her Water God Style Secret Technique, continued to push Leda Lia's body backward until her feet plowed a trench tens of meters long in the ground!

"Crack——————!"

As she was thrown back by the crescent-shaped wind blade, Lieda was astonished to find that her sword, which had been with her for half her life, was creaking under the weight of the massive wind blade. Spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on the golden blade at a visible speed!

The massive wind blade slash finally subsided completely after pushing Leda Lia back nearly a hundred meters, bringing her to the edge of the 'Sword Realm'.

The moment the wind blade attack completely subsided, Leda Lia, whose hands were completely numb and exhausted, felt a sweet taste in her throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Even when she tried to use the golden longsword in her hand to pierce the ground in front of her to support herself and prevent herself from falling, the longsword finally broke into several pieces with a snapping sound as it was pierced by the weight of the ground!

"I have already experienced your Water God Style swordsmanship. Now it is time to break your sword formation."

Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Ittō-ryu - Yuki-onna!

Unlike the first gust of wind that rushed up, this time, accompanied by a sharp drop in air temperature, a blue slash carrying the cold air and freezing everything burst out.

When the massive slash burst forth from Wood's 'Winter Knight', the ground was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost due to the low temperature.

The massive and sharp slash froze the ground while simultaneously slicing it open as easily as cutting tofu, before bursting towards the edge of the sword realm against the wind.

The reason why the slashes produce ice and snow is not because Wood violated the rules by using magic, but because the Imperial Arms "Winter Knight" originally had a certain ice attribute attack.

The blue ice and snow slash, when it touched the edge of the Sword Realm, had already grown to an exaggerated size of nearly a hundred meters.

When the slash struck Leda Lia's "Sword Realm of Deprivation," everyone could hear a crisp sound of glass shattering all around.

As the ground shook and cracked, Ariel and the others, who were outside the Sword Realm, could clearly feel that the oppressive pressure they had felt earlier had disappeared. Looking around at the completely shattered and devastated ground, they understood whether the Sword Realm had been breached.

Through this battle, Ariel, Sylphie, and others who were previously unfamiliar with Wood now fully realize just how outrageous he is.

Previously, they only regarded Wood as one of the world's top powerhouses, but now they directly regard Wood as a legend and monster on the same level as the Dragon God.

Lieda Lia's ultimate technique, "Sword Realm Deprivation," which could suppress other Sword Emperors, was actually broken by Wood with just two sword strikes... no, with just one!

Ariel and the others previously thought that Wood's bet of three swords was a bit too ambitious, but now it seems that it's not just ambitious, it's incredibly conservative.

It was said that two swords were used, but in reality, only one was used. One of the swords was used to defeat Leda Lia head-on, and the second sword was used to break through the sword realm.

And it's obvious to everyone that Wood's second sword strike in the sword world was far stronger than the first.

If the swordsmanship Wood used to defeat Leta Leah was of the same strength as the second strike that shattered the Sword World, Leta Leah would certainly be in a situation where her sword is broken, not just a simple case of a broken sword.

"I never imagined that after years of cultivating the sword path and creating the sixth secret technique of the Water God Style, 'Deprivation of the Sword Realm,' I would have thought that I had few rivals in the path of the sword. But today I realize what it means to be a frog in a well with a limited view of the sky."

"Given your age and current swordsmanship level, you should be the strongest swordsman in the history of this world. Although I don't know how you cultivated to this level, I admit defeat this time. Ask whatever you want."

Although Leda Lia didn't appear much in the original storyline, her strength was undoubtedly formidable.

When Rudy and his companions were helping Ariel quell the civil war in the Kingdom of Asura, Lieda, with her ultimate technique "Sword Deprivation," instantly killed Almanfil, the Radiant One, and Trofimos, the Wave One, among the 11 Ankylosaurus spirits, and severed Rudyus's prosthetic arm.

Finally, Rudeus, Iris, Kyrie Illya, Ankylosaurus, and others were all pinned to their spots, unable to move. Even Oberon Colbert, who was on her side, could not act under the immense pressure of her sword realm without her permission, and could only remain frozen in place.

However, in the final showdown, he encountered the Dragon God Orsteed, who was almost the strongest in the world, and was ultimately killed in one blow.

The Dragon God was able to instantly kill Leda Lia not because she wasn't strong enough, but because the Dragon God was far beyond what was expected. In terms of strength, Leda Lia was definitely among the top ten in the world.

Chapter 544 The Final Battle Arrives

In the end, as promised, Leda Lya also told Wood and the others a lot of information about gods and humans, including why gods and humans cannot be killed.

As a senior and powerful follower of God and Man, Lieda knew far more than Wood and Alsteed could have imagined.

The "human god" was not originally a god, but an unknown entity. Let's call him the self-proclaimed god, the fraudster (HITOGAMI).

HITOGAMI initially found the world of nothingness and claimed it for himself. He used the remaining power from the corpse of the God of Creation to replace the weakest human god, or rather, absorbed the human god, thus gaining the power of a god.

The human god's goal was to become the only god in this world, so he plotted to kill the wife of the first dragon god, frame the four realms of beast, sea, sky, and demon, and use the dragon god's hand to destroy the four realms.

Then they sowed discord between the Five Dragon Generals and the First Dragon God, ultimately leading to the death of the First Dragon God.

However, before the first Dragon God died, he also saw through the trajectory of the gods and humans. He used his last strength to seal the gods and humans in the world of nothingness and entrusted his two children to the Demon Dragon King Laplace, who also knew everything.

Many years have passed, and the seal on the world without end has begun to loosen, allowing traces of gods and humans to gradually reappear in the human realm.

Human gods cannot be killed; the only solution is to seal them, because the other party's body possesses the power to create gods, and the human god who is replaced is also a god.

Although Orsteed is called the Dragon God and is stronger than the gods, he can only be considered a "demigod". The first Dragon God is the true god.

Even with his superior power, the demigod Orsteed could not kill the god-human; at most, he could only seal him away again.

However, the limitation that even the Dragon God cannot kill a god does not apply to Wood, because he possesses the "Blessing of the Sword Saint," which allows him to slay those things that cannot be killed.

As long as his strength is enough to suppress his opponent, theoretically even if the opponent is a creator god, Wood can still kill him without hesitation.

Wood and his companions learned about the entrance to the world through Leda Lia's account. After acquiring so much information, the Dragon God originally intended to show mercy and spare Leda Lia's life.

But who knew that after Lydia revealed everything she knew, she glanced at Wood and said, "Even because of the bet, I still betrayed my promise."

"To be able to fight such a powerful swordsman as you before I die is enough to make my life worthwhile. My sword has accompanied me in battle for many years, and now that it is broken, why would I choose to live on in disgrace!"

As soon as Lydia finished speaking, she committed suicide with the broken half of her sword, before Ariel and Luke could even stop her.

This is the number one swordsman of the Kingdom of Asura; his very existence is a deterrent to other countries.

Furthermore, Leta Leah was loyal to the royal family because of Darius, not just to any one person. This meant that if Ariel became queen, Leta Leah would also obey her, making a surrender entirely possible. But now she's dead...

When Leda Lydia committed suicide, both Wood and Alstead had the ability to stop her, but neither of them chose to do so.

Wood believed that this was a swordsman's last vestige of dignity and choice, and all he could do was respect the other's choice.

As for Orsteed, he already despised believers in gods and men. The fact that he spared Leta Leah's life was only because of Wood's influence and the fact that Leta Leah had provided a great deal of information.

Now that the other party wanted to end it herself, Alsterd had no reason to stop her. On the contrary, Lieda's final actions made Alsterd think more highly of her.

After Leda Lya fell, Rudy's battle also ended.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Razan, the leader of the assassins, surrendered decisively after realizing that the situation was hopeless.

Just kidding, it's not that Razan lacks professionalism, it's just that there's absolutely no hope in this battle.

Originally, it was thought to be a low-level game, with his "Sword Saint" teaming up to assassinate a few high-level swordsmen and high-level mages, and the first swordsman of the Asura Kingdom, "Water God" Leta Lia, covering for him. This wave should be a sure thing, with the dragons charging in.

But no one expected that in the end, it was their side that was overwhelmed by the flying dragon. The second of the seven great powers, the dragon god who only existed in legends, had all come out.

There was another blond boy who kept a king-level magical beast as a pet, defeated the water god with one sword, and shattered the sword realm with another.

Faced with these two beings who are practically overpowered, what can a Sword Saint possibly do? Fight with his head?

No, even if he were willing to risk his life, he would probably be defeated in a single move against such a being.

Since there was no chance of winning, what reason did he have to throw his life away? He wasn't as noble as Lieda; he was just a mercenary who did things for money and had no feelings for the Kingdom of Asura. Being able to bend and stretch was the only way to survive.

Rudy is different from Wood and Dragon God. If it were either of them, Razan's body might already be cold.

However, Rudy was ultimately a person from modern society in his previous life, and he could never bring himself to kill someone who had lost the will to fight and was willing to surrender.

Razan, the assassination leader, was clearly quite astute, stating that he would help Ariel testify against the people in the Asura royal family who had hired him, provided they were given a way out.

Although Lyda Lya is dead, once Ariel returns to the capital of the Kingdom of Asura, a civil war within the royal family will be inevitable.

If Ariel had testimony against Razan, the assassination leader, she could avoid a lot of trouble, reduce the likelihood of war, and save many lives.

Wood and Alstead had no objection to Rudy and Ariel's decision; they only cared about gods and humans, and had no interest in insignificant figures like Razan.

So when Alice and Gilead returned after being lured away, Wood and his men decided to split up.

Rudy, Kyrianu, and the wolf king healed by Wood—one human and one beast, plus a half-beast—help Ariel return to the Kingdom of Asura to end the internal strife.

With Leda Lia dead, their lineup was absolutely enough to sweep through the entire Kingdom of Asura.

As for Wood, Alsted, and Alice, as the strongest trio, they are preparing to go to the entrance of the World of Nothingness, enter the World of Nothingness to kill the gods and humans, and completely eradicate the root of all cholera!

Rudy originally wanted to go with Wood and the others, and his strength was indeed up to par, making him qualified to participate in this final battle.

Wood refused him on the grounds that his every move was being monitored by gods and men. However, Wood was actually unsure about the battle, which is why he let Rudy stay.

If he and Rudy both die, who will protect the Grellatt family? Paul is an unreliable guy, and Norman and Aisha are still too young.

Their actions along the way have made the "Grelat" family very conspicuous. If he and Rudy are both dead, it is possible that those kingdoms will take action against the other members of the Grelat family.

After all, as children of the Grellat family, Wood and Rudy's strength and talent are so outrageous, it makes no sense that their sister, who inherited the same bloodline as them, would have weak talent.

It's impossible for there not to be people with such thoughts, and if Wood and Rudy were still around, these people with ill intentions wouldn't dare to have any extra ideas because of their intimidating presence.

But once they are all dead, those with ill intentions will not be able to remain obedient forever.

Even the kingdoms that Wood and his group once helped, such as the Kingdom of Asra, the Kingdom of Wanglong, and the Holy Kingdom of Milis, are not necessarily reliable.
