Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Men, whether demons or humans, are inherently competitive, and given this opportunity, Badigandi naturally wanted to redeem himself after his previous defeat.

Chapter 550 The Method to Defeate the God of War Armor

However, Budigandi was quite dissatisfied with Wood's fighting style this time.

Their previous duel was so passionate, and Badigandi once again experienced the joy of battle after a long time.

But since the initial clash, Wood has started to change his fighting style. Every time, he dodges his attacks by leaping left and right, and then suddenly turns around and strikes him with a knife, instead of confronting him head-on.

While this fighting style wasn't entirely unacceptable, it did leave Badigandi feeling somewhat bored.

Their previous battles were all hand-to-hand combat, even their fight at the La Noah Magic Academy was mostly head-on clashes.

Budigandi was a straightforward and bold warrior, and his fighting style reflected that. However, Wood's behavior of avoiding battle despite clearly having the ability to fight him made Wood somewhat dissatisfied.

In his view, Wood must be the same type of guy as him, otherwise he wouldn't have fought him that way before.

"Bullshit! When you say that, do you dare to take off your God of War Armor before you say it to me?"

"I'm not going to take advantage of you. If you don't use the God of War Armor, I won't use the Winter Knight either, and I won't even use a sword; I'll fight you bare-handed."

While flapping the dragon wings on the back of his armor, leaving Badigandi far behind, Wood pondered how to break through the God of War Armor.

Upon hearing Badigandi's shout, Wood retorted without hesitation.

"That won't do. Not to mention that without the God of War Armor, I'm no match for you, even if I were willing to do it, the contract with the God of Humanity would bind and prevent me from doing so."

Moreover, while the Battle God Armor is incredibly powerful, it also has significant side effects. Although I'm now immune to its side effect of eroding my rationality, it's not something I can simply take off whenever I want.

Upon hearing Badigandi's words, Wood turned around and gave him an international hand gesture, then responded with another outward slash.

Wood wasn't just hiding everywhere; as Badigandi said, a protracted war would be quite disadvantageous for him.

Putting aside his physical strength and magical power, which would allow him to hold off Badigandi for as long as he wanted, Wood was already quite worried about the situation on the Dragon God's side.

The Dragon God's strength is undeniable, but his intelligence seems to drop when he encounters a human god. If the Dragon God were to fall, even with him and the heavily weakened Alice, they might not be able to defeat the human god.

The God of War Armor possesses the characteristic of immortality, but it is not truly invincible. There is no truly invincible person or thing in this world, not even the highest gods.

Laplace was able to defeat Badigandi, who was wearing the God of War Armor, and even severely damage the armor, causing it to temporarily separate and be destroyed, because Laplace was the creator of the God of War Armor. Familiar with its structure, he had a way to destroy it from the inside of the thin armor.

However, Wood was unable to do this because he knew little about the God of War Armor, and this was the first time he had ever seen the actual product.

Besides this method, the only other option is to inflict devastating damage on the God of War Armor from the outside with even greater power.

Ultimately, no matter how powerful the God of War Armor is, it's still just a piece of armor. Once it reaches the limit of its defensive capabilities, it will still be destroyed.

Through the previous battles, Wood had roughly estimated the defensive limits of the God of War Armor and what level it could roughly reach.

Previously, his Hundred Ghosts Sword Style Secret Technique: Snow Woman was enough to break through the defenses of the God of War Armor and cause some damage. In other words, if his power were a little stronger, it would be enough to damage the God of War Armor and the Badigandi inside.

Wood had tried it before, and even with "Domination Entanglement", he could only inflict limited damage on Badigandi under the God of War Armor.

To inflict greater damage, even greater power is required, but Wood currently has no other means of protection besides the "Heart of God," an ability with severe side effects.

Using the power of the 'Heart of God', his combat strength increased several times over. Naturally, he could severely injure Fighting God Armor and Badigandi, and even defeat them would be a piece of cake.

To be honest, Wood himself wasn't sure how much vitality he still had.

The ability "Heart of God" is one that inflicts 800 damage on the enemy but also 1000 damage on oneself. If it weren't for the fact that in The Sims, the lifespan of an ordinary person would really not be able to withstand such a powerful and overpowered ability.

Given the current situation, Wood must consider the worst-case scenario in all aspects. If the Dragon God is defeated by the Human God, then after defeating Badigandi, he will have to reserve enough power to deal with the Human God.

After all, even if the Dragon God suffered a defeat, he could simply walk away to another cycle of reincarnation. But Woodche couldn't do that. His family was only in this cycle of reincarnation, and Woodche only recognized his family in this timeline.

If even he dies at the hands of the god, then no one in this world will be able to stop the god's progress.

Given the nature of gods and humans, would the Dragon God leave Rudeus and the Grellat family, these last potential threats, alive?

Because of his concerns, Wood dares not take a gamble. He fears that if he uses the power of the "Heart of God" to defeat Badigandi, his own life will come to an end, thus ending this life simulation.

When he has the chance to return to this world again, his family members in Grerat may have already suffered at the hands of gods and men.

Thinking of this, Wood couldn't help but curse the Dragon God's family. If it weren't for the fact that this guy Alsteed had a screw loose, he wouldn't have been so easily provoked and led away by the gods.

With their combined strength, it shouldn't be impossible to completely defeat or even destroy the God of War Armor. But now, Wood is left in the predicament of having to sacrifice his life to solve the problem.

"boom------!"

Badigandi unleashed another straight punch imbued with magical energy, and even Wood, with the help of his Observation Haki, was unable to dodge Badigandi's attacks every time.

Just like this time, Wood, who was unable to dodge in time, was only grazed by the pressure of Badigandi's punch. His body was instantly sent flying hundreds of meters away and smashed into a rock wall, creating a huge crater!

Unlike him, whose physical strength and magic power were constantly being depleted, Badigandi, wearing the God of War Armor, was now showing a trend of becoming stronger with each battle.

The moment Wood was injured, the green magic circle on his body lit up simultaneously and repaired his injuries at an astonishing speed.

Upon witnessing this scene, Badigandi couldn't help but express his admiration, saying, "Not only your swordsmanship, but your magical prowess is also truly admirable."

Leaving aside the technique of incantation-free magic, the skill of inscribing a magic circle onto the body is truly admirable in terms of your boldness and intellect.

Badigandi is a demon king representing wisdom. Although he prefers hand-to-hand combat, his mastery of magic is also among the world's best.

He was full of admiration for the healing magic circle engraved on Wood's body, because it was not just a matter of magical skill, but also incorporated various high-difficulty techniques such as alchemy and enchanting.

Moreover, both alchemy and enchanting techniques involve the forbidden practice of human transmutation!

In short, Wood used his own body as a magical artifact, performing alchemical synthesis on it and enchanting the magic circle with effects such as storing magic power and triggering it independently.

Even the most fanatical alchemist wouldn't dare gamble with their own body when it comes to human transmutation, because the slightest mistake could lead to instant death, or at best, to becoming a monster.

But Wood not only boldly did it, he also seems to have done it quite successfully.

With the magic arrays engraved on Wood's body, he would have been considered a national treasure in any realm, whether it was the realm of dragons, seas, heavens, demons, or beasts.

Even if he dies a hundred years from now, his body might be dug up and studied by some unscrupulous people.

In fact, Badigandi was not the first to express his admiration for the magic array inscription technique on Wood. Even the Dragon God Orsteed had highly praised his technique.

They believed that this technique was far superior to most of their dragon race's secret arts, and even more impressive than the art of uncastable magic in some respects.

Only those with greater strength and a deeper understanding of magic can truly grasp just how difficult it is to inscribe the magic circle on Wood's body.

Wood, however, reacted calmly. He wasn't sure if other mages would dare to do this, but he dared to engage in human transmutation not because he was crazy or fearless, but because he had something to rely on.

Wood possesses Observation Haki, which allows him to briefly predict the future. When inscribing a magic circle, he can already see the outcome in advance.

Moreover, he could use Armament Haki to minimize the side effects of failed inscription. Even if the first two methods failed, Wood wouldn't care. After all, the simulated life was ruined, but he wasn't really dead. So, Wood was unusually relaxed when he inscribed the magic circle.

However, thanks to what Badigandi said at this moment, Wood has now thought of a way to defeat the God of War Armor without using the 'Heart of God'.

Wood is skilled at inscribing magic circles, and these magic circles are not limited to healing magic circles, but can also be other offensive magic circles.

Wood can also inscribe magic circles on other people, just as he left a magic circle in the hands of the new queen when he was in the Dragon King Kingdom.

Moreover, even magic circles for offensive magic have two inscription methods. One is that Wood leaves his magic power in the magic circle, allowing the opponent to choose to activate it at any time, which is used to fight enemies.

Another method, which Wood had just thought of, was that he could also inscribe a magic circle on the enemy's body, and then use magic as a trigger when necessary to activate the magic circle on the enemy's body.

That's right, the method Wood has come up with to defeat the God of War Armor is to inscribe a magic circle on the opponent and then detonate it all at once to maximize the damage.

Wood is not Laplace; not knowing the internal structure of the God of War Armor, he cannot destroy it from the inside like Laplace did.

The energy and damage required to destroy the God of War Armor from the outside are obviously far greater than those required to destroy it from the inside, because the external defense of the God of War Armor is much stronger than its internal defense.

Without using the power of the 'Heart of God', even Wood would have no confidence in completely breaking through the external defenses of the God of War Armor.

However, if a magic circle is inscribed on the God of War Armor, the situation will be different.

Given their current strength level, a single "Emperor-level" magic might not be able to cause them much damage, but if one isn't enough, what about two?

If two aren't enough, what about three, four... or even ten?

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. If there are enough magic circles, let alone a mere God of War Armor, we can even blow up the world!

Having sorted out his thoughts and decided on his battle strategy, Wood began to change his actions. Seeing Budigandi charging towards him, he no longer chose to dodge, but instead took the initiative to meet him head-on!

Upon seeing Wood approaching, Budigandi was stunned for a moment before letting out a hearty laugh from beneath the helmet of his God of War armor: "Wood, it seems you've finally decided to fight me head-on."

"That's right. A fair and square battle is the true nature of us martial artists. I've been looking forward to this opportunity to avenge my humiliation for a long time, and I didn't expect it to come so soon."

Seeing Wood crash into his arms, the muscular Buddy Gundy couldn't help but laugh heartily and enthusiastically stretched out six arms towards Wood.

Wood responded to Badigundi's enthusiasm by brandishing his twin swords.

The Winter Knight and the ice blades covered in Armament Haki left two blue trails in the air. When they collided with Badigandi's fist, not only did they spark a lot of sparks, but the Winter Knight also directly used brute force to pry open Badigandi's arms, causing his chest to open wide.

However, don't forget that as a demon, Badigandi has six arms. When Wood pried two of his arms off, his remaining four arms simultaneously clenched into fists and smashed towards Wood, who was in a stalemate.

"Hundred Demons' Sword Control Secret Technique: Swallow Return!"

The two longswords that had originally knocked Badigandi's arm away were now, thanks to Wood's absurd arm twisting, slashed back at an incredible angle and used the blades to block Badigandi's two heavy punches once again!

"Your swordsmanship is breathtaking; even on a global scale, you would definitely be recorded in history."

But Wood, don't forget, I have six arms. How do you plan to defend against attacks from my remaining two arms?

Seeing Wood sheathe his sword and block two more of his heavy punches, Buddy Gundy looked on with a mixture of astonishment and admiration.

Chapter 551 You're Strapped with Bombs

Not only in terms of magical power and magic, but also in terms of martial arts skills as a warrior, Budigandi had to admit defeat in front of Wood.

There are very few guys who can win over Badrigandi's heart and soul, but Wood is definitely one of them.
