As for the others, they were all imposters. I was just retrieving my own things; what did I do wrong?

Seeing the god suddenly become somewhat hysterical, Alster was stunned. He hadn't expected to have the chance to hear such a shocking piece of gossip.

Their greatest enemy was actually half of the Creator God, and all along, he had been trying to fight against such a terrifying being...

"I don't care about your creation gods or anything like that. At this point, you should have realized that I don't belong to your world."

"Even if you were merely a speck of filth left behind by the Creator God, and even if you were the Creator God himself, since you dared to harm my family, I would absolutely not be lenient with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wood's feet shattered the ground, and his body shot towards the location of the god at high speed.

If the current "human god" is the creator god himself, then they have no chance of winning this battle. Even if he and Orstide were to team up again, they would still be out of luck.

To fight against the world created by the Creator God is like trying to go to the toilet with a lantern – pure suicide!

However, the current situation is clearly not that dire yet. HITOGAMI is connected to the creator god of this world, but he has inherited very little power from him.

Calling him a "half-body" would be an exaggeration for HITOGAMI. As the half-body of Laplace, he could have been the first and fourth of the seven great powers. The demigod who created the god was chased by the dragon god for more than two hundred reincarnations, and each time he could only rely on lies and his brain to survive.

In Wood's view, HITOGAMI was merely a part of the Creator God, and because he was born from the Creator God, he considered himself extraordinary and wanted to become the true and only God.

It probably didn't get much power from the creator god, but because they came from the same source, it was able to control this world of nothingness at this moment.

In this world of nothingness, HITOGAMI cannot be killed because the world itself was created by his predecessor; this world is itself. This is also why Wood and Alsteid cannot obtain magical replenishment here.

To kill HITOGAMI here, the conventional methods are obviously not feasible. To kill HITOGAMI, the world of nothingness must be destroyed, because this world is HITOGAMI himself.

However, the "World of Nothingness" is not a secret realm outside. As the former abode of the gods, its sturdiness is such that even the combined power of Wood and the Dragon God could not break through the barriers of this world.

It's worth noting that even the first Dragon God, who destroyed the four realms, could only seal rather than destroy, which shows just how solid this world of nothingness truly is.

Trying to kill Hitogami by destroying the world is obviously unrealistic, which is why it is said that gods and humans are immortal, and the only way to deal with him is to seal him away rather than kill him.

However, this was not a problem at all for Wood, who had the "Blessing of the Sword Saint," and he had just tried it.

Although he couldn't kill the god-human in one fell swoop by using the "Blessing of the Sword Saint," he did weaken some of the god-human's soul and essence.

As one might expect, given enough kills, even if a god or human possessed incredible power, Wood would be able to eliminate them without a doubt.

Having lost his invincible immortality, when he saw Wood charging towards him, the God of Man did not hastily use his body to directly block the attack as he had done before when facing the Dragon God.

Instead, it was enveloped in a golden light, and just as the longsword in Wood's hand was about to pierce Wood's body, it turned into a cloud of golden particles and dissipated into the air.

"Roar------!"

However, when the god who had dodged Wood's attack reappeared in another area, Alsted suddenly transformed into a giant dragon and pounced on him once more.

Previously, he was helpless against the gods and humans, so he thought of temporarily going to other reincarnations to think of a solution. Now that Wood actually has a way to kill the other party, Alsterd will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.

Wood and Alsteed are both top experts in the world today. Even if the god-human is hiding in the world of nothingness and does not come out, they can find each other by their aura as long as they spend a little time.

So when the human god appeared in another corner as if by teleportation, the dragon god and Wood found each other almost at the same time and launched an attack on the human god from both sides!

Furthermore, to prevent the god from escaping their pursuit again with his near-teleportation ability, the dragon god spared no expense in using a large amount of magic power to completely imprison the space where the god was located.

In the past, Orsteed would never have used such a mana-consuming dragon secret technique, since in this space, the mana they consumed could not be replenished at all.

Ordinary mana restoration potions are practically a drop in the ocean for someone with such a vast mana pool as Wood and Alsted. So, their current situation is that once they run out of mana, it's over, and they have no chance to start over.

The human god is merely a part of the creator god after his death, and he is not the true creator god. Although he can use a portion of the power of the world of nothingness, he cannot fully control the rules here.

That is why, when the human god realized that the surrounding space was imprisoned by the dragon god, he also showed an ugly expression.

In terms of combat power alone, he was no match for Wood or Dragon God. Now that the two had joined forces, there was even less to say.

Seeing that certain death was imminent, the god hesitated for a moment before turning around and heading straight for the dragon god's gaping maw!

None of the people present were fools. Wood and Alstead immediately realized what was going on with the god's actions.

Wood accelerated his sprint, attempting to catch up with the human god who was charging towards the Dragon God, while the Dragon God transformed into human form at top speed and switched from offense to defense.

The idea behind the god was actually quite simple: since the space was confined and they were facing certain death, dying at the hands of Orsteed was far more advantageous than dying at the hands of Wood.

Dying at Wood's hands would mean losing some of his power and soul due to the latter's strange "protection" power, but dying in Alsteed would not only be harmless to him, but would even help him escape successfully.

Chapter 558: The Life-Saving Skill Activated!

It was because he saw through the purpose of the human god that the dragon god transformed into human form and switched from defense to offense when the other party charged towards him.

However, the god was quite decisive. Seeing that the dragon god had seen through his intentions and that Wood behind him was closing in, he reached out and conjured a golden dagger, then directly ended his own life!

Watching the god and man vanish once again as they turned into particles of light due to death, Wood and the Dragon God exchanged bewildered glances. They never expected such a thing to happen.

And even the gods and humans were so ruthless towards him, killing him without batting an eye!

“No, Wood, although you have the ability to kill him, if he takes his own life before you can do anything about it.”

Previously, Alsted thought that the god was only good at playing all sorts of tricks and schemes, and that he could take on ten people at once if they met face to face. But now it seems that he was too naive.

If he hadn't happened to encounter Wood in this cycle of reincarnation, and if Wood hadn't happened to have the ability to kill the God of Man, even if he, Alsteed, had found this world of nothingness, he probably wouldn't have been able to do anything to the God of Man in the end.

"Judging from the weakened aura he had when I first killed him, I would need to kill him at least three more times to truly finish him off."

We have no other choice now. We either use all our strength to kill him before he takes his own life, or we let him run out of magic and die here. What do you want to choose?

"Of course, besides these two options, there is actually a third option, which is to use your dragon clan secret technique to escape to other reincarnations and make a long-term plan."

Now that we know his identity and background, we're sure we can find a way to win him over with some time.

Upon hearing Wood's proposal, Alstead originally intended to choose the last suggestion. In his view, their current predicament was entirely due to insufficient preparation, which was why they were constantly at a disadvantage. If they had another chance, they would surely be able to secure victory.

He had already hunted down gods and humans for over two hundred cycles, and now he was just going to be defeated in another cycle. He, the Dragon God, could afford to wait.

However, just as Alsteed was about to choose the last option, Wood suddenly spoke up: "If you want to go to other cycles, don't take me with you."

For me, only the family in this cycle of reincarnation is my family; as for the Grerat family in other reincarnations, they have no relation to me whatsoever.

After you leave, if possible, I'll try my best to find a way to exchange places with him. If that's not possible, I'll simply accept his previous suggestion and sign a contract with him.

Upon hearing what Wood said, Alstead was speechless. Wood's so-called third option was basically as good as nothing.

If Wood is willing to go to other reincarnations with him, then there is still hope for him to make a comeback. If Wood is not willing to go, then what good will it do him even if he goes to other reincarnations?

Since gods cannot be killed, and given his various schemes and tricks, even if the dragon god were to go through other reincarnations, wouldn't he still be doomed?

"If that's the case, then let's not hold back. Let's go all out and settle things with him right here."

Having killed him hundreds of times before, I've actually figured out some of the characteristics of his abilities.

Although I cannot directly sever his essence or soul like you, his ability to resurrect infinitely is not without limits.

I discovered that every time I killed him, although he could reappear in front of me in his prime, this ability was time-limited.

The interval between each resurrection is approximately five seconds. After that, he will randomly appear in any corner of this world.

A five-second resurrection cooldown is not even a weakness for the average person, since it's just the time it takes to yawn.

But for powerful individuals like Wood and Alsteed, five seconds is more than enough.

If they can find a way to prevent the god from refreshing his status using the self-destruct bug within those five seconds, then their chances of winning this battle are still quite high.

"I will take charge of the main attack from now on. You use the dragon clan's secret techniques to restrain his actions. Since there is no way out, there is no need to conserve magic power anymore."

If I could kill him a few more times, I could definitely take him down!

As Wood finished speaking, he directly used the power of the 'Heart of God', and his act of squandering his life force without reservation caused his hair to instantly change from golden to a full head of silver.

Conversely, as the runes belonging to the 'Heart of God' lit up on Wood's chest, his aura rapidly increased, soon surpassing that of the dragon god in his human form.

Seeing this, Alster was quite surprised. He knew that Wood had a secret technique to increase combat power by burning his life force, but he did not expect that Wood could increase his combat power to this extent!

Clearly, when he fought him before, he hadn't pushed Wood to his limit, but now he was obviously really going all out.

Wood, with his full head of silver hair, gripped a long sword, his body even radiating silver light like starlight. His murderous eyes merely glanced at the god from afar, yet it made him suddenly feel uneasy.

In that brief moment of distraction, the god of men discovered that Wood, who had been in his sight, had vanished without warning. At the same time, a strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped him.

Without a second thought, the god immediately spread his arms wide and gathered the power of this void world as quickly as possible, enveloping his body in a golden sphere.

"Ding------!"

Almost the instant the golden spherical protective shield enveloped his body, a blue longsword struck the golden spherical energy shield, scattering a large number of sparks!

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Itto-ryu - Tessai Oni!"

The Handwashing Demon is a monster known for its strength, and Wood's strike is also based on overwhelming force. The terrifying and powerful magic that materialized around the blade was terrifying. A bare-chested, blue-faced, fanged demonic phantom faintly appeared behind Wood and swung its heavy fist at the golden energy shield in front of it!

At this moment, the longsword in Wood's hand is the heavy fist of the evil spirit!

The golden energy shield rippled for a short while before shattering like glass with a single strike from Wood!

Having just survived five seconds within the protective shield, the god-human being, holding a golden dagger and preparing to end his life and refresh his state, was struck directly in the face by Wood's size 42 feet before he could even make a move.

With his feet wrapped in Armament Haki, and Wood now having activated "Heart of God" with his full power, how strong would this kick be?

Wood could only say that with that kick, the God of Man's body flew out at a speed exceeding that of the Third Universe, accompanied by a whooshing sound. The inertial pressure he suffered during the process made it impossible for him to even move his body.

Just as the god was kicked away by Wood, Alsteed, who had been waiting on the other side for a long time, transformed into a platinum dragon and flew out. With a loud dragon roar, magic circles of different colors appeared in the space around him.

The moment these magic circles appeared, thick chains shot out and quickly wrapped around the flying god.

"Dragon Clan Secret Technique: Binding God Chains!"

The chains that burst forth from various magic arrays in the air are also one of the dragon race's secret techniques. It is said that they can temporarily bind gods, and once bound, they cannot use any abilities to escape, including spatial abilities. The drawback is that the casting animation is too long, and the speed at which the chains fly is difficult to keep up with the power of these dragons.

But the human god had just been kicked away by Wood, and his body was unable to move due to inertia. So, he was easily tied up by the dragon god and hung in the air.
