World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Reliel, Fira, and the others all turned their gaze to Du Ge simultaneously.

The air grew still for a moment.

Nobu and Eddie occasionally slipped up, and Fira and the others had long known that Holly was Du Ge, and Du Ge was Holly.

Holly, who claimed to be the God King, concocted various reasons to focus solely on deicide. Now, with a new Du Ge emerging from the demon realm, the implications were intriguing.

...

Another Du Ge?

Someone from Qi Yuan Star, or from another planet?

Both were possible.

The likelihood was higher for someone from Qi Yuan Star, as the locals knew his past, making it easy to impersonate him.

By borrowing his name, anyone with a bit of skill and a good keyword could quickly gather a group of allies.

As long as there were enough people around, skills could complement each other, and power would snowball.

If he could bring benefits to everyone, in the end, no one would care if he was the real Du Ge or not. This was his forte, just like after he killed the Sun God, he could do as he pleased without anyone questioning his past mistakes.

Du Ge knew clearly that while he was focused on escaping the control of Pan-Universal Entertainment, other Alien Star warriors were vying for fame and fortune, competing for resources to keep their planets barely surviving.

No one believed that he harbored a grand dream of breaking free from Pan-Universal Entertainment's grasp.

And since keywords and body possession were random, even though he consistently ranked first in the Simulation Field and Alien Star Battlefield, the people on the planet wouldn't pin all their hopes on him.

Thus, if Alien Star warriors had the chance to rise on their own, they would seize the opportunity to gain more resources and power, which would benefit the entire planet.

Even those who trusted him the most, like Gao Ming, wouldn't wait for him.

They would develop first and then seek to join forces with him, providing him with greater support...

And for the Alien Star warriors in the demon realm who couldn't directly claim the mental rewards for awakening ancient gods, starting a war to claim another reward was the most appropriate response.

Du Ge's awakening of the Soul Splitting skill was an accident.

But this accident led everyone to compete fiercely for first place and mental power rewards, which was not good news for Du Ge.

Once the war between gods and demons began, the sleeping ancient gods might be awakened by their apostles, and he would miss out on the rewards!

On a smaller scale, it would delay his return to freedom;

On a larger scale, it meant his plan to overthrow Pan-Universal Entertainment and save everyone would be indefinitely postponed, subjecting the people on the ten planets to more suffering...

Sigh!

Du Ge knew he couldn't blame anyone, so he silently sighed. A group of short-sighted people, they would never know what they had lost...

...

Sensing something was off, Raphael thought everyone was stunned by the news from the demon realm. He looked around and voiced his suspicion, "I suspect Du Ge is a newly risen demon king in the demon realm, and he's the one who started this war..."

With one sentence, the atmosphere grew even stranger.

Raphael was clueless.

Du Ge chuckled, "Raphael, how many days did it take you to return from the demon realm?"

"Five days," Raphael replied.

Damn it!

Du Ge cursed inwardly. That's the downside of a large map.

Five days were enough for many things to happen.

If they all grasped the essence of his rapid strategy, perhaps the demon realm's army had already attacked.

No, that's unlikely.

There were still over 170 people left on the Alien Star Battlefield. It took him more than twenty days to recruit just two Alien Star warriors. There's no way the guy in the demon realm could recruit faster than him, right?

Without enough manpower, even if he started the war between gods and demons, could he really take the lead?

If he dared to lead the demon king's army alone, his keywords and skills must be extraordinary. If that were the case, his top position would have been usurped long ago.

Which means he still had time to prepare.

"Holly, do you have any other questions?" Raphael interrupted Du Ge's contemplation, asking. Although he was loyal to the Sun God, the demon realm's issue was more pressing than the already deceased Sun God.

"Tell me, where were you planning to run just now?" Du Ge glanced at him and asked.

"I..." Raphael was stunned.

"Be honest, don't be afraid. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it already," Du Ge said with a smile.

Du Ge's smile and demeanor unconsciously lowered Raphael's guard. He looked at Du Ge, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I was planning to seek the Moon God's help..."

"You know where the Moon God is sleeping?" Du Ge's eyes lit up.

"I do," Raphael nodded after a moment of silence.

"Let's go, take me to the Moon God." Du Ge looked at Raphael intently, gesturing for Nobu to hand over the Sun God's left leg. He placed it in Raphael's arms, "The Sun God is dead. We can investigate the truth anytime. The urgent matter is to stop the demon realm's invasion and prevent the remaining ancient gods from mutating. We don't have much time. Quickly, take me to the Moon God..."

"..." Raphael was dumbfounded, staring at the Sun God's left leg that had suddenly appeared in his arms.

"Raphael, the Sun God died fighting the evil gods," Du Ge said. "Boderuna was a great deity. Even in death, he didn't forget to protect this world. He allowed the living to use his divine power through his body to fight the evil gods and the demon realm. This is his legacy. Tell me, you won't let the Sun God's sacrifice be in vain, will you?"

Raphael looked at the Sun God's left leg in his hands, glanced at Fira carrying the torso, and Reliel holding the Sun God's right hand. He solemnly placed the left leg across his chest, "Of course not."

"Raphael, I knew I wasn't wrong about you," Du Ge smiled. "If one day you can comprehend the Sun God's power from his remains and become the new Sun God, I wouldn't be surprised at all."

"..." Raphael was stunned again. He instinctively infused divine power into the Sun God's left leg, feeling the vast and surging power flowing into his body. His throat involuntarily moved a few times, "Can I really comprehend divine power from the Sun God's remains and become the new Sun God?"

"Raphael, this world cannot be without the Sun God," Du Ge sighed. "That's why we say the Sun God was a great deity. Perhaps his so-called rebirth is in this form! Boderuna never forgot the world he protected, even in death!"

"Alright, I'll take you to see the Moon God," Raphael finally agreed.

"Rest assured, Raphael, if we confirm the Moon God hasn't been corrupted by the evil gods, we'll only awaken her, without causing any harm..." Du Ge shook his head.

"I understand," Raphael nodded heavily, his suspicion of Du Ge gradually fading.

Fira glanced at Du Ge, then looked down, saying nothing.

He was the one who criticized the Sun God for being useless, and now he praised the Sun God as great. His skill in manipulating people was undoubtedly that of an evil god.

When they met the Moon God, whether she was corrupted by the evil gods or not would be up to him.

Muttering to herself, Fira glanced at Raphael, who was holding the Sun God's left leg. Even if one day Raphael discovered the truth, would he really seek revenge for the Sun God?

Nobu and Eddie exchanged glances, simultaneously seeing admiration and awe on each other's faces, without a hint of jealousy. The longer they stayed by Du Ge's side, the more they felt his charisma. He deserved his current status, and even without keywords, he could thrive in this world with his intellect and wisdom!

"Remiel, stay behind to organize the angel army, gather the postnatal deities from all over, and head to the demon realm, ready to fight at any moment."

Du Ge turned his attention from Raphael to Remiel behind Reliel, taking the Sun God's right leg from Eddie and handing it to him, "If you arrive and I'm not there yet, you can lead the army directly into the demon realm. I allow you not to engage in battle, but you must demonstrate our stance in defending the human world. For the peace of the human world, we'll try to keep the battlefield in the demon realm..."

Du Ge never missed an opportunity. As long as the Alien Star warrior in the demon realm hadn't attacked, the reward for starting the war should be credited to him.

Previously, Du Ge was someone who shared the wealth.

But now, with the Soul Splitting skill, he had to seize the rewards for his own people. So much mental power was useless to them, but for him, it might one day liberate all of humanity...

"Yes," Remiel responded loudly. Attacking the demon realm was a perilous task, but Du Ge unhesitatingly gave him the Sun God's last remaining leg, instantly boosting his morale.

Everyone knew that Du Ge rewarded achievements. If he could earn more merits, he might receive more fragments of divine remains, increasing his chances of becoming a god.

"Reliel, take some people and spread the word about the Sun God being corrupted by the evil gods and ultimately killed by me. Spread it as widely as possible," Du Ge instructed Reliel. "Inform everyone that the war between gods and demons is likely to start, and they should prepare for war. Those who wish to achieve glory can head to the junction of the demon realm and the divine realm in advance."

"Yes," Reliel replied.

"Remember, don't use the name King Holly," Du Ge glanced at Raphael, then turned to Reliel. "When spreading the word, use the name Du Ge. Say that the Sun God was killed by Du Ge."

"..." Reliel's eye twitched, but he agreed.

Nobu and Eddie exchanged looks, both sighing. This familiar scene reminded them of previous events. When Du Ge stirred up public opinion, it meant this Alien Star Battlefield was about to end!

"Why use Du Ge's name?" Raphael frowned.

Du Ge turned to him, smiling, "Because I am Du Ge, and I won't allow the demon realm's guy to use my name to cause trouble and tarnish my reputation..."

"..."

Raphael widened his eyes, looking at Du Ge, more confused than ever.

Honestly.

He had no idea what was happening anymore!
