Sensing that Badigandi's aura was extremely weak, to the point that even his voice was not as strong as before, Wood shone his glowing longsword on Badigandi.

Upon witnessing the horrific scene, Wood realized that what he was seeing now felt even more like a scene from a horror movie.

The current situation in Badrigand is not just bad, it is utterly miserable!

Its original six arms are now reduced to just one, which is still gripping Wood's ankle. Its head is twisted at an odd angle, and its lower body has completely disappeared. Even its remaining upper body is not entirely intact, with its internal organs scattered all over the ground.

"Are all demons resilient? You've suffered such serious injuries, it's amazing you still survived."

Seeing the terrible state of Badigandi, Wood couldn't help but marvel at the incredible resilience of the demon race, which was able to maintain its life activities even under such conditions.

If the same situation happened to humans or other races now, they would probably have died countless times...

"Saint-level Healing Magic - Holy Spring of Healing!"

As Wood swung his longsword, a healing spring formed by magic instantly enveloped Badigandi's mutilated body, and under the protection of the green spring water, Badigandi's injuries began to stabilize at a visible speed.

But it only stabilized; its damaged body did not regenerate under Wood's healing magic.

"Hey, if I remember correctly, you should be able to use stronger King-level healing magic, or even Emperor-level, right?"

Saint-level healing magic can stabilize my injuries, but it can't regenerate my damaged body...

Badigandi was still very happy to be alive, but Wood was only using "Saint-level" healing to treat him, which made Badigandi somewhat dissatisfied. After all, being crippled was not as good as dying.

"Let me use King-level and Emperor-level healing magic to completely heal you, and then let you turn against me because of the power of the contract?"

I'll keep you alive for now. We'll talk about what happens after that. You'd better hope I come back after defeating the god, otherwise there's no one else in this world who can use Emperor-level healing magic.

"If I don't come back, you'll either choose to end your own life, or live like this for the rest of your days as punishment. Who told you to cause me so much trouble this time?"

Upon hearing what Wood said, Badigandi fell silent.

Indeed, he has brought this situation upon himself, and Wood has done more than enough.

If Wood had failed to defeat the god this time, he would have chosen to end his own life here, even though he had barely survived the previous energy shock.

"Then I hope you can defeat the god of man as you wish. Putting aside other aspects for now, I've always had pretty good luck. Just like this time, I didn't even expect that I could survive that energy shock."

Badigandi truly believes he was incredibly lucky to have survived this ordeal.

The simultaneous explosion of hundreds of Saint-level or higher magic arrays ultimately destroyed the Battle God Armor completely.

Just when Badigandi thought he was doomed, his left eye suddenly emitted a magic that he was very familiar with, but which did not belong to him.

Badigandi was extremely familiar with this magic and power, because it belonged to the "magic eye" power of his beloved.

The "Eye of Unjust Death" is the most unique among all the demonic eyes. It does not amplify the user's combat power at all, but it has a rather heaven-defying effect: it can take the cost of death for its owner once! Hence the name "Eye of Unjust Death".

Badigandi didn't remember having the power of the "Mystic Eyes," but when his memories began to resurface, he suddenly recalled that when he pierced through Chisirica, she not only forgave him but also gently stroked his face.

This memory was sealed away because he was controlled by the God of War Armor at the time.

It wasn't until Wood's hundreds of magic circles exploded and the God of War Armor was completely destroyed that Badigandi recalled this memory and realized that back then, Chisiri had not only forgiven him, but had also been silently protecting him all along.

Kisirica, who possessed the "Eye of Wrongful Death," might have been able to survive when he killed her using the power of this Mystic Eye, but instead, he bestowed this power upon him.

As for why the power of the Mystic Eye wasn't triggered when he perished alongside Laplace, Badigandi believes it was because at that time, not only his mind but also his magic was being controlled by the God of War Armor.

It was precisely because of the power of this demonic eye that Badigandi was able to survive the explosion this time... To be precise, he had actually died once, but that death was replaced by the demonic eye.

His current miserable state was actually caused by the shockwave after the magic circle exploded. If it weren't for the fact that the demon race's vitality was indeed quite tenacious, the aftershocks of the explosion alone would have been enough to kill Badigandi a second time.

No, given his current situation, if Wood had arrived any later, he probably would have been dead by now. Perhaps that's why Budigandi said he's always been lucky.

After settling Badigandi in, Wood quickly found the entrance to the World of Nothingness.

It must be said that the seal of the first Dragon God was indeed quite powerful. Under such an explosive impact, the entire underground labyrinth of the secret realm was directly blown away, but the entrance was still floating firmly in mid-air.

The power generated by the explosion of the magic circle even destroyed the so-called "indestructible" God of War Armor, but the area affected and destroyed was not as large as the area caused by Laplace in the past. Wood believed that it was very likely because the seal of the first Dragon God and the secret realm itself had withstood a lot of impact.

After confirming that the entrance space to the World of Nothingness was relatively stable, Wood brought Budigandi outside the cave and let Alice know that he was safe before deciding to enter the World of Nothingness.

Alice originally wanted to continue following, but this time she was met with a firm refusal from Wood.

That's right, Alice is indeed quite powerful. As a human, she is probably the strongest human at present (excluding Wood). Even among the seven great powers, Alice would definitely be in the top five, after all, she even defeated the sixth-ranked "Sword God".

However, there is an absolute gap in strength between the first few of the seven great powers and the last three. Although it is somewhat cruel to say this, with Alice's current strength, if she were to participate in the battle between the Dragon God, the Human God and him, the final result might not only be that she would not be of any help, but might even be a hindrance.

In conclusion, there is still a huge gap between Alice's strength and that of him and the Dragon God. Wood could not let her go with him to die in vain, so he could only leave her behind and, under the guise of having her help guard the old sword god and Badigandi.

After passing through the entrance that resembled a portal of light, Wood entered the so-called "World of Nothingness" and discovered that the place truly lived up to its name.

The area that came into view was a vast expanse of white. Although the entire space was exceptionally wide and bright, there was nothing there at all.

Although the air contained oxygen and moisture, and the magical elements were unusually active, there was no sign of any plants, animals, or any other life.

The World of Nothingness is said to have been the place where the Creator God and other gods lived before the creation of the world. However, Hitogami found this place, took it for himself, and used the remaining power of the Creator God's corpse to replace the weakest human god.

"Roar------!"

Upon entering the "World of Nothingness," Wood originally intended to investigate what was special about this world and, incidentally, find the locations of the Dragon God and the Human God.

He barely needed to do any searching before a deafening dragon roar resounded throughout the entire space.

Following the sound, Wood saw from a great distance a white-gold dragon, nearly a thousand meters long, chasing a figure radiating golden light. From its massive mouth, the dragon was occasionally spewing out a terrifyingly powerful breath.

Faced with the terrifying dragon breath spewed by the platinum dragon, the golden figure dodged the terrifying dragon breath with ease, as if he had anticipated the dragon's attack trajectory.

And after dodging the attack of the platinum dragon, the golden figure made a series of grasping motions in the air with both hands, and then a burst of golden light particles condensed into two golden spears in his hands at an extremely fast speed.

As the golden figure dodged the platinum dragon's breath, it also threw out two spears of light. At the same time, seeing the figure stop, the platinum dragon stretched out its dragon claws and tore at it!

Unsurprisingly, the white-gold dragon and golden figure fighting in Wood's sight were none other than the Dragon God Orsteed and the Human God.

Moreover, judging from the scene before him now, Wood had to applaud Alstead's decision.

The fact that the gods and humans had dodged the dragon's breath attacks from Orsteed multiple times suggests that their "future vision" ability has become even stronger in this world, perhaps even allowing them to predict the dragon god's attacks.

Even if you can predict an attack, it doesn't necessarily mean you can dodge every attack, no matter what it is.

Just like now, although the human god launched an attack on the dragon god, Orsteed did not choose to resist, but completely abandoned defense, attempting to attack the slippery human god by trading blows.

Wood thought Orsteed's decision was correct because, given the current state of the Dragon God and the Human God, the Human God would definitely be at a disadvantage if they traded injuries for injuries.

Wood also sensed that although the two spears of light thrown by the god carried an extremely dangerous and powerful aura, they were not enough to kill the dragon god.

After all, the prototype of Orsteed was incredibly tall, nearly a thousand meters long, so those two golden spears were practically no different from toothpicks to him.

However, if the gods and humans were destroyed by Orsteed's dragon claw, they would definitely be torn to pieces instantly!

Chapter 555 The God Who Attempted to Reconcile with Wood

"boom------!"

The golden spear hurled by the god-human shattered upon striking the dragon's wing of Orsteed, producing a deafening explosion and unleashing a golden particle storm.

Although Wood didn't know what the golden particles were, the power unleashed by the golden spear was definitely comparable to "Emperor-level" magic.

As the two golden spears shattered at the base of Orsteed's dragon wings, the dragon god let out a roar of pain.

Just as Wood had predicted, given Alsted's enormous size and his hard dragon scales, which were effective against both magic and physical attacks, even a power comparable to "Emperor-level" magic could only inflict very limited damage on him.

On the other side, because he threw his golden spear, the god was unable to dodge Orsteed's attack again and was torn apart by the dragon god's sharp claws!

Just as Wood was lamenting that the final boss, the God of Man, was so weak and was so easily killed, after tearing the God of Man's body apart, Alsterd's claws suddenly turned around and spewed a dragon's breath in another direction!

Just as Wood was puzzled and wondering why Alsteid was doing this, he was astonished to find that the aura of a god had reappeared at the location where Alsteid had breathed out dragon breath!

"What's going on! The god that was just torn apart by Orstide was just a phantom of it?"

No, whether it's the aura or anything else, it's a genuine god; there's no way I couldn't distinguish between the illusion and the real person!

The god-human, appearing in another location, raised the corners of his mouth contemptuously once again as he faced the dragon breath spewed out by Orsteed. Then, he pushed forward with his right hand, and a shield of light made of golden particles instantly formed, which not only directly blocked the dragon god's dragon breath, but also condensed a trident in his other hand and threw it directly in the direction of the dragon god.

Seeing this scene before him, Wood was truly dumbfounded. With his level of strength, it was impossible for him to be so foolish as to not be able to distinguish between a mere illusion and his true self.

He was absolutely certain that the figure that had been torn apart by Alsted was indeed the god himself, but what was this other golden figure that had appeared again?

Could it be that "God of Men" is a twin like him and Rudy?

Such a possibility was naturally nonexistent, and Alstead quickly confirmed it for Wood.

Faced with the golden figure throwing the trident again, Alstead had no choice but to charge headfirst into it.

Since there was no way to dodge, one naturally had to choose the body as a hard part to defend against it, and the part that Orsteed chose was his hard head.

Despite being dazed and confused by the explosion caused by the golden trident, Alsted still managed to charge towards the god and open his gaping maw.

Whether it was the god or the golden shield in his hand, they were quickly bitten off by the platinum dragon that Orstid had transformed into!

The dragon's frenzied chewing was enough to instantly turn even the hardest divine weapons in the world into scrap metal. Even though Wood was extremely confident in his Armament Haki and Iron Body, he dared not try to be bitten by Orsteed.

Logically speaking, even if there really were two gods, they should both have been killed by Alsted by now, because the god that Alsted just bit to death should also be the real deal in Wood's perception.

To Wood's utter surprise, after Alsted killed the "human god," another golden figure appeared beside the Dragon God once again.

At this point, even if Wood was ignorant, he could see that the God-Man was not a twin or triplets, but rather that this was his own power!

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryū: Ittō-ryū Yuki-onna - Aoyuki!"

Wood drew his sword and unleashed an outward slash imbued with ice and snow. The sword flew off its blade and, growing larger with the wind, instantly cleaved the newly appeared golden figure in two.

Upon seeing Wood's arrival, the human god and the dragon god displayed different attitudes and emotions.

Seeing the arrival of such powerful assistance, Alstead was undoubtedly delighted, knowing that Wood had always been the nemesis of gods and men in his mind.
