Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

And Budigandi just checked it himself, and there are at least a hundred magic circles on the God of War Armor. Even though Wood succeeded in engraving these magic circles on the first try, the total amount of magic power consumed was still an absurd amount!

A typical "Saint-level" mage can use several "Saint-level" spells in a single battle, which is considered to indicate considerable magical power.

The same applies to King-level and Emperor-level mages; while higher-level magic is more powerful, it also consumes more magical energy.

With Wood's nearly one hundred magic circles, it's no exaggeration to say that the magical power he consumed was comparable to the total magical power of hundreds of "saint-level" mages.

There are not many "Saint-level" mages in the world to begin with. Let alone hundreds, it is entirely unknown whether even a hundred can be found in the entire world.

This also proves how outrageous Wood's magical power is. His magical power alone is comparable to the total number of Saint-level mages in the entire world.

And that's not the most outrageous part. What's even more outrageous is that even after inscribing nearly a hundred magic arrays of Saint-level or higher, Wood's magical power was still not completely used up!

"Actually, although I do have a lot of magical power, it's not as vast as you imagine."

Possessing immense magical power, their magical power recovery speed is also extraordinary.

"I didn't inscribe nearly a hundred Saint-level or higher magic circles on you all at once. By the time I inscribed the second magic circle on you, I had already recovered about 70-80% of the magic power consumed by the previous one."

Even Wood couldn't inscribe hundreds of magic circles in one go, which is why he took the initiative to engage in close combat with Badigandi, aiming to buy time for his magic to recover.

Budigandi always believed that the magic power he consumed was due to the healing magic circle repairing his injuries, but he never realized that it was all because Wood used it to inscribe the magic circle.

"The preparations are complete, and now it's time to light the fuse."

Budigandi, you better not die, I'm still trying to get that awesome magic eye from your fiancée.

If she finds out I killed her fiancé, my magic eyes will probably be ruined.

Hearing that Wood still had the leisure to joke at this time, Budigandi also laughed heartily, as if relieved.

"If I survive this, I will definitely buy you a drink and help you ask Kishilica for the Mystic Eye."

One Demon Eye isn't enough! I'll get you a pair! Others might struggle to control the power of a Demon Eye, but for you, it should be a piece of cake.

Nearly a hundred magic arrays of Saint-level or higher lit up simultaneously. Even though they had not yet fully erupted, the aura they emitted was already extremely terrifying, to the point that the surrounding air began to distort.

Wood's magic was already stronger than that of ordinary people. The power of hundreds of Saint-level or higher spells erupting at the same time was immense, and the result was predictable.

Almost the instant Wood triggered the magic circle, he activated the power of the 'Heart of God' and began to flee frantically.

Although activating the 'Heart of God' consumes life force, Wood believes he can afford it as long as it's not used for high-intensity combat but merely to increase speed for escaping.

Because of the contract with the god, even though his own situation was already precarious, when he saw Wood retreating, Badigandi, due to the power of the contract, naturally pursued him relentlessly.

However, soon, Badigandi was astonished to discover that after the mysterious runes lit up on Wood's chest, Wood's aura actually became stronger again!

Moreover, this time the increase in strength is not just a little bit stronger, but a multiplication of several times!

Even though he was slightly slower than Wood when he was wearing the God of War Armor, there was never such an absurd difference between him and Wood!

Wood, who was now flying at high speed with his dragon wings flapping, couldn't even catch up with his opponent, let alone see his taillights...

"That Wood guy is truly a monster through and through! I didn't expect that after fighting me for so long, he would still be holding back such a trump card?"

"With that kind of power, even without relying on time-consuming methods like inscribing magic circles, he should be able to win by sheer force..."

Just as Badigandi finished his reflection and watched Wood's figure gradually disappear into the distance, the magic circle on his body emitted an extremely dazzling light.

Surrounded by the seven-colored light, Badigandi could clearly feel a strong sense of impending death, but at this moment he was completely helpless.

The magic circle was engraved on the "Battle God Armor," so he couldn't remove it on his own, and the Battle God Armor certainly wouldn't abandon its host, Badigandi, at this moment.

Because of the magic of Badigandi, it has a greater chance of being preserved.

Even if we take a step back and assume that the God of War Armor is willing to release the restraints on Badigangdi, it would still be a dead end for Badigangdi.

With hundreds of Saint-level or higher magic arrays exploding simultaneously, unless Badigandi has the ability to instantly appear in an area tens of kilometers away, it is impossible for him to escape being affected.

On the contrary, if he were still wearing the God of War Armor, the strongest armor capable of fighting against gods, it would still provide him with a layer of protection.

In other words, Badigangdi and Doushen Armor are now in the same boat, inseparable.

The God of War Armor needs a host like Badigandi to provide it with a parasitic target and magic power, allowing it to unleash its full potential.

Badigangdi also had to rely on the formidable defensive capabilities of the Battle God Armor to withstand this cataclysmic explosion.

If they can weather this storm, they'll still have a chance to survive; if they can't, it'll probably be a complete disaster.

"That Wood guy went too far, there are way too many of these magic circles..."

Well, I'm already a person who deserves to die anyway. If he doesn't do this, he can't be sure that he can completely destroy the God of War Armor.

"I really wanted to see Chisilyka one last time before I died. Wood and Rudy said that because she had only recently been resurrected, she was still a little girl. I really wanted to see Chisilyka in that state."

As he approached death, Badigandi, unusually, did not show much fear, only a great deal of regret.

Despite having made such a contract with the gods, allowing himself to live in the same era as Chisirika once again, he sadly has yet to see Chisirika even once more.

"boom------!"

With a deafening roar, hundreds of magic arrays of Saint-level or higher exploded simultaneously, easily shattering the secret realm space and even creating a clear hemispherical energy halo on the map of the entire continent.

The explosion's epicenter was Badigandi. Initially, the area affected by the turbulent energy flow was several kilometers in radius. Subsequently, the hemispherical energy halo expanded outwards at an astonishing speed, reaching distances of over ten kilometers, then a hundred kilometers...

The hemispherical energy halo displayed seven colors, gathering various magical attributes within it. Its coverage area and height were so vast that people in any corner of the continent could clearly see this spectacular scene!

The area affected by the hemispherical energy halo was instantly reduced to dust, whether it was grass, trees, or rocks.

The violent shockwave swept outwards almost instantly, leveling everything in its path and causing the entire continental plate to shake violently.

Wood, who was flying at high speed by flapping his dragon wings, was hit by a violent storm after flying several kilometers away. Then, a hemispherical energy halo followed closely behind him at an astonishing speed.

Although it is true that Wood inscribed the magic circle, magic does not recognize its owner once it is unleashed. Even if Wood is the caster, he will still be affected by the magic circle's explosion.

"It seems this was indeed a bit overdone. I didn't expect the combined power of the magic circles to be so outrageous. I hope that guy, Badigandi, can pull through this time."

According to Wood's previous calculations, to accurately destroy the God of War Armor from the outside, based on Laplace's previous attack strength, about eighty magic circles would be sufficient.

However, considering that Laplace had only temporarily separated and damaged the God of War Armor without completely destroying it, Wood increased the number of magic circles to nearly a hundred in order to be on the safe side.

However, to his surprise, the combined power of the magic circle explosion was far more outrageous than using compound magic directly.

He had previously considered inscribing the magic circle only if it ensured Badigandi's survival, but now... whether Badigandi would survive or not, Wood could only silently wish him good luck.

During the flight, Wood also encountered Alice and the old sword god, whose battle was also nearing its end.

The commotion caused by Wood's battle with Badigandi was so great that even the old swordsman was surprised to find that the aftershocks of the battle were enough to kill him, so he chose to temporarily avoid the battle and flee for his life.

However, because of her agreement with Wood, Alice was acting like a madwoman. Fearing that Wood would defeat the enemy before her, she continued to relentlessly pursue the old sword god even though she was in danger!

"Alice, are you crazy? Even if you didn't feel that magical fluctuation, you should have seen that huge energy field!"

Even with our strength, if we were caught in the aftershocks of that attack, we would all die. And yet you're still thinking about fighting.

Thanks to the "love" buff, Alice's combat power was off the charts in the battle against the old sword god, and she even kept the old sword god in the lead.

Based on this trend, Alice should have had the victory in the bag, but after Wood and Buddy Gundy made such a huge commotion, Alice suddenly felt uneasy.

It wasn't that Alice was worried about Wood's safety. Although her swordsmanship talent was extraordinary, Alice also possessed a certain amount of magical talent. Although the intensity wasn't high, she was still able to perceive magical power.

Alice could still discern from the powerful magical fluctuations emanating from afar that it belonged to Wood's magic.

If such a powerful magical fluctuation even reached their side, it means that Wood should be holding an absolute advantage in his battle with Badigandi.

However, while Alice wasn't worried about Wood's safety, there was something else that concerned her: her previous agreement with Wood.

If she defeats her opponent before Wood, she can, according to the agreement, make a request to Wood.

Seeing that Wood's side had the upper hand and was even about to kill the enemy, Alice was naturally extremely anxious!

She had finally managed to take a shortcut to win over Wood and be with the one she loved. If Wood defeated Badigandi before her, wouldn't all the conditions she had planned and made for Wood be ruined?

Chapter 553 Don't make promises you can't keep before the battle!

Under normal circumstances, losing to Wood wouldn't make Alice feel resentful or hold a grudge, because in her eyes, Wood was the most outstanding being in the world.

But this was the only time Rias couldn't lose, and she didn't want to lose at all!

Let alone the aftermath of a mere battle, even if the world suddenly ended right now, she would still defeat the old sword god and fulfill her promise to Wood.

"You little girl, you must be so desperate to become Wood's wife!"

Under the aftershocks of this shock, even if you defeat Lao Tzu, you won't survive. If you die, what's the point of becoming his wife?

When he encountered Alice here, and anticipated that he would inevitably have to fight his best disciple again, the old sword god no longer expected to survive.

Because of the pact with the god, he couldn't hold back or deliberately give away his life, so Alice had to show her true determination to defeat him.

Fortunately, what Wood had said to Alice earlier had a remarkable effect, easily solidifying Alice's determination to defeat herself.

The old swordsman didn't feel much resentment or shame at being defeated by his own disciple; on the contrary, he felt only a growing sense of pride.

Because there is nothing a teacher can be more proud of than having a student surpass their teacher.

If his disciple could become more outstanding and powerful, the old sword god would be willing to use his old bones to pave the way for his disciple's progress.

With Wood possessing such strength, Alice wouldn't have to worry about her safety in the future if she were with him.

After all, if the two of them were to become husband and wife, such a combination would be a force to be reckoned with, capable of dominating the entire world.

The old swordsman's only regret was that he was not fortunate enough to see Wood and Alice get together and have excellent offspring.

The old swordsman had long anticipated the outcome of this battle, but his own death here was of no consequence; however, he did not want Alice to die in the same place!

However, Alice, who was already stubborn and was now in a daze, simply wouldn't listen to the old sword god's earnest advice.
