Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Looking at the long sword that had completely pierced his chest, after a brief moment of shock, the god quickly erupted into boundless rage.

He calls himself a con artist (HITOGAMI), someone who could even fool the first Dragon God, but now he's been fooled by a human boy. This is simply an insult to his dignity and intelligence!

"Deceive you? You're giving yourself way too much screen time."

I was just thinking about how to defeat you, what your origins are, and why you can utilize the power of this space in the world left behind by the creator god.

You were the one who kept babbling on and on, and you even walked up to me in a very familiar manner, acting like you knew me all too well.

"If an enemy delivers themselves to my doorstep, who else should I stab? Should I give you a heads-up before I stab you?"

Upon hearing Wood's words, the god's expression immediately turned ashen, as if he were constipated, while Alstead, who had previously thought the situation was hopeless, burst into a very relieved laugh.

The situation took such a dramatic turn that the Dragon God never expected it, and at this moment, the Dragon God had to admit that Wood was definitely the true "nemesis of gods and men"!

Even as an enemy, the Dragon God had to admit that the Human God was not only cunning and shrewd, but also extremely calm and cautious. After he chased the Human God into the World of Nothingness, the Human God remained as steady as an old dog. The one who was constantly provoked and manipulated was himself.

But how long has Wood been in here? In just a short while, he almost made the usually composed and stoic god suffer a heart attack. In the Dragon God's eyes, this was incredibly satisfying.

With a powerful slash of his longsword, Wood instantly split the god and man in front of him in two. At that moment, Alsteid transformed into human form and landed beside Wood, saying, "I was right to have chosen to ally with you."

Even if we combine our strength, if we still don't figure out exactly what his abilities are, defeating him won't be an easy task.

As you may have noticed, those golden figures that appeared earlier were undoubtedly the god himself. What's surprising is that no matter how you try to kill him, you can't kill him at all!

Before you even entered this place, I had already killed that guy countless times in various ways, but strangely, he always managed to resurrect from somewhere else each time.

"And that's not the only problem. This world of nothingness seems to be full of magic, but apart from humans and gods, we can't get any magic from here at all."

"If we don't figure out a way to kill him, even with our immense magical power, we'll eventually be worn down and die."

Upon hearing the information from Alsteed, Wood couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "So if it weren't for some idiot being so easily provoked and lured into this world, we wouldn't be in such a disadvantageous situation now, would we?"

Fighting in a place arranged by the other side is inherently unwise. If I hadn't wanted to avoid cooperating with that guy, I might have actually turned against him.

"Working with a cunning old fox is far more likely to lead to success than working with an easily provoked idiot."

A dignified dragon god is now being called a fool by a human boy. If the rest of the world knew this, they would probably be shocked.

But the proud Dragon God, unusually, did not refute this, instead turning his head away with a displeased expression.

Although he was quite unhappy, Alsted had to admit that he couldn't deny the truth of the matter. Wood was willing to risk entering the World of Nothingness and didn't betray him at the crucial moment, which was already a great favor.

"Actually, I'm quite curious about this as well. From any perspective, the current situation is more favorable to me, and the conditions I've proposed should be quite generous."

"But why did you choose the Dragon God, whose chances of winning were slim, and reject me? Do you think I, a god, am less than a brainless, good-for-nothing dog?"

The god-man who reappeared had calmed down from his previous rage, and his first words were to express his incomprehension of Wood's previous behavior.

After all, in his opinion, he was much better than Alsteed in every aspect. Moreover, by cooperating with him, Wood could reap the benefits without having to do anything, while by cooperating with the Dragon God, Wood would have to gamble on the possibility of defeating him.

As for the issue of his own credibility, he had clearly proposed using a contract to bind both parties. It was truly incomprehensible to the God of Man that Wood would still firmly choose Alsteed under such circumstances.

"The reason is actually very simple. First, although I don't have much integrity, I will at least keep my promises. Since I made a promise with the Dragon God beforehand, I will not go back on my word."

There's another point you might misunderstand. I do care about my family, but that only applies to my current family. As for my descendants, I don't care.

People have to rely on themselves. If my descendants are all good-for-nothings, then that proves they are nothing special.

Wood isn't some kind of patriarch from a cultivation novel, so he can't care about so many things. Right now, he's already exhausted all his energy protecting his family within his limited lifespan, so he doesn't have the time to worry about things a hundred years from now.

Moreover, even if he really made a pact with the gods, who can say for sure that the gods will keep their word?

Contracts do indeed bind deities, but the other party is a human-god, a cunning individual who might find loopholes to exploit.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Wood ultimately decided that eliminating the human god was the safest course of action.

"It's such a pity. You could have survived, but since you've chosen to be stubborn and obstinate with Auersted, then I won't be polite anymore."

I admit that in terms of pure strength, I might not be a match for any of you, but that's in the outside world. In this world of nothingness, no matter how strong you are, you won't be able to do anything to me.

Unlike the 'Battle God Armor', I am truly immortal in this world of nothingness. No matter how strong you are, you cannot kill me.

"And your magic is indeed limited. In this space where you can't draw magic, you have no other choice but to be worn down to death by me."

The reappearing god maintained his confident demeanor, attempting to intimidate Wood and Alsted with this imposing presence.

In fact, at this moment, Alsteed was indeed beginning to think about a way out. He admitted that it was his previous impulsiveness that led him and Wood into this world of nothingness, allowing the gods to gain the upper hand.

However, they are not entirely without a chance. If they use their dragon clan secret techniques, Alsted can take Wood with him to other cycles of reincarnation.

Although taking others into other cycles of reincarnation was something Alstead had never tried before, and it would consume a great deal of power, Alstead believed it would all be worthwhile if the other party was Wood.

Wood can be called the "nemesis of gods and men." In this cycle, they were tricked by gods and men, but if they had a helper like Wood in the next cycle, Alsterd felt that they would not be able to make the same mistakes as in the previous two hundred cycles.

"Immortal? Are you kidding me? There is no such thing as a truly invincible person or thing in this world. In my opinion, your immortality is even more outwardly strong but inwardly weak than the 'God of War'."

Even now, you're still bluffing? Do you really think I'm some kind of idiot like Dragon God?

Trying to fool us with this kind of lie? Don't you think you're being incredibly naive?

Upon hearing Wood's words, the god who had been so calm and collected in the air fell silent. As for Alsteid, he looked at Wood with a question mark on his face and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Alster was truly dumbfounded, because in his view, most of what the god had just said was indeed true.

Before this, he had indeed killed no fewer than a hundred gods and men, and it was no doubt that the other party was immortal and indestructible.

Chapter 557 The True Identity and Origin of the God and Man

Alsted never considered himself stupid; rather, he believed that after living for so many years, his intellectual reserves and intelligence were far superior to those of the average person.

But now, the two characters in front of them are a cunning old fox who is good at scheming and a scheming young man who looks like a teenager but is actually just as cunning as the old fox. The Dragon God felt that his pure intelligence was really not enough here.

"This guy is known as the con artist (HITOGAMI), and you actually believe what he says. No wonder you were tortured by him for more than two hundred reincarnations before."

He's just bluffing right now, deliberately highlighting his abilities and advantages in this void world. His purpose is simply to discourage us. Otherwise, if you thought you had the upper hand, why would he bother reminding you so much?

He knows you have the power to travel to other cycles of reincarnation, so he tries to use words to force you to take me to other cycles of reincarnation.

As for why he did this, the reason is quite simple: he is not as immortal as he claims, and is even somewhat weak inside despite his apparent strength. Therefore, he resorts to this method to bluff his way out.

Upon hearing Wood's words, Alstead was clearly taken aback. Although he didn't know how Wood had figured out so much, he wasn't really stupid. The fact that the god was so silent at this moment meant that he had guessed Wood's words pretty accurately.

"My feeling was right. You really are a troublesome guy, even more troublesome than the former Dragon King Laplace."

If it were just a guy like Alsteid, all strength and no brains, he wouldn't be a match for me. But this time, you've been an unexpected addition!

Wood saw through his intentions, so the god stopped pretending and looked at Wood's location with a grim expression, asking his last question.

"Logically speaking, as long as I exist in this world of nothingness, I am indeed an existence that cannot be killed."

But just now, I definitely felt that when you killed me, a portion of my power inexplicably disappeared. How did you manage to do that?

The highest level of lie is always half true and half false. In the beginning, the god and man did not lie completely. In this world of nothingness, regardless of whether he was truly immortal, killing him was by no means an easy task.

But just after being pierced through the chest and killed by Wood's knife, the god could clearly feel that a part of the power and soul here had been lost!

This was something that had never happened before, even though Alsteid had killed him countless times, so he couldn't help but care.

"I possess a power called Blessing, known as the 'Blessing of the Sword Saint.' Its effect not only allows me to unleash the full power of the sword, but also grants me the power to slay those that cannot be slain."

Therefore, before my sword, there is no true immortality. As long as I am stronger than you, I can slay you, even if you are the remnant will of the creator god of this world!

Upon hearing Wood's words, the god was first stunned, then his body trembled involuntarily, clearly showing a strong emotional reaction to Wood's words.

This intense emotional reaction was not only because Wood had the ability to kill him, but also because of the speculation Wood had just made.

"You who call yourself a con artist (HITOGAMI), although you are not a god, your level of prestige must be extremely high."

After all, taking possession of the world of nothingness and replacing the original gods and humans is not something that ordinary people can do.

The world of nothingness is the abode of the creator god. Logically speaking, even the first Dragon God should not be able to wield the power of this world, but you can.

Perhaps you want to explain that it's because you devoured the residual power of the Creator God's corpse, but the other party was the Creator God, an existence of such a status. The residual power of such an existence cannot be absorbed or utilized by ordinary beings.

Being able to absorb and utilize the power of the Creator God, and even control this void world without being rejected by the Creator God's power, indicates that you have a certain connection with the Creator God himself.

I have also heard that gods do not truly perish unless they are completely destroyed, and the more powerful a god is, the more likely they are to leave behind a soul or even a thought after death.

The Creator God has only been dead for a short time, and you have found this world of nothingness. Apart from the fact that such a coincidence really exists in the world, can I boldly guess that you yourself are the remnant of the Creator God's soul, or the evil thoughts he left behind?

Since you are a product left behind by the Creator God, you naturally disapprove of the Dragon Gods and Beast Gods who rule over various planes, believing that since you created the entire world, you are qualified to be the sole god ruling over all things in this world!

Wood's conjecture was not unfounded. First of all, the origin of the god was extremely mysterious, and the other party knew far too much, which could not be explained by "future vision" alone.

The story of Laplace, the Dragon King, also gave Wood a lot of inspiration. Beings like him could split their souls into a "God of Skill" and a "God of Demons" after their death.

So, it seems not impossible that a creator god, after his death, left behind some parts that created the gods and humans we know today.

Moreover, only in this way can everything be explained. No matter what, the first dragon god was the strongest below the creator god. Even if the disguise of the human god was perfect, how could such a powerful first dragon god be completely unaware?

"Pah, pah, pah, pah!"

As Wood finished his reasoning, the god in the air began to clap his hands and looked at Wood's face, saying with a serious expression, "You really are the most special guy I have ever seen."

Not only is he exceptionally powerful, but he is also the smartest person I have ever met. I only began to realize my identity after I was sealed here by the first Dragon God.

"I never expected you to be able to guess my background in such a short time. It's truly astonishing."

"That's right, just as you guessed, I do have a great connection with the Creator God. Although the connection may not be as you say, it is certain that my relationship with him is similar to that of Laplace and the God of Technology."

Now that you know I am half of the Creator God, do you still intend to continue to oppose me?

Everything I have done is correct. I created this whole world, so naturally I should govern it.

Dragon God and those guys are nothing but shameless thieves who have taken my success and shamelessly call themselves 'gods'. There is only one being in this world who is qualified to be called a god, and that is me!
