World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 609: The ocean rage

Touching the Seed of Humanity felt like caressing a piece of smooth jade, cool and delicate, like a baby's skin, making it hard to let go.

Du Ge stared intently at the Seed of Humanity.

Unlike Janice, when his hand covered it, the mist inside showed no sign of drilling into his palm.

Did the ninety percent probability of being The Unfortunate One fall on him?

Du Ge frowned slightly.

But he was never one to accept fate. Since the mist in the Seed of Humanity caused genetic mutations, he would just have to lure it out.

He didn't care about things that weren't his own, and if a tool couldn't be used by him, it didn't matter if it broke.

Dark God power had an erosive nature. Du Ge's palm surged with Dark God power, covering the contact point between his hand and the Seed of Humanity.

The Seed of Humanity seemed to sense danger, and the mist inside churned violently, resisting the erosion of the Dark God power.

"I'm exploring the Seed of Humanity." Du Ge wrapped his arms around the Seed of Humanity, took it out of the box, and increased the output of Dark God power.

"You'll destroy it..." Kaska said.

"Destroying it would mean the Zorn God Clan is completely extinct, like losing everything in a black hole," Du Ge smiled nonchalantly. "The Zorn God Clan treats it as a sacred object, handling it with care for fear of damage. But in reality, this thing is very hard, not afraid of being destroyed. I suspect it's tougher than your armor..."

As he spoke, Du Ge switched the power in his hand to Sun God power.

Sun God power was scorching hot, while Dark God power was cold and sinister, creating a duality of ice and fire to test the Seed of Humanity's resistance.

The mist inside the Seed of Humanity churned faster and faster.

Kaska was dumbfounded.

Janice, witnessing this, suddenly understood where she fell short compared to Du Ge.

She was merely passively accepting and responding, while Du Ge was always on the offensive, actively creating opportunities, doing whatever it took to achieve his goals.

In a moment, Du Ge added the power of lightning to the mix.

When the jumping sparks covered the surface of the Seed of Humanity, the mist inside spun wildly, forming a vortex...

Du Ge looked at the vortex and suddenly withdrew part of the power from his right palm.

Encircling three sides and leaving one open, a strategy of warfare.

When the Seed of Humanity helped Janice awaken, Du Ge didn't think much of it. But when he used Dark God power to erode the Seed of Humanity, the violent churning of the mist made him realize that perhaps the Seed of Humanity was sentient.

After burning it with the God of Light power, creating a duality of ice and fire, this feeling became even stronger.

This was normal; in the world of cultivation, many magical treasures could give birth to a spirit, automatically protecting their master or attacking enemies, all signs of a treasure gaining consciousness...

Since it was sentient, using strategy against it was sure to work.

Du Ge withdrew the Dark God power from his palm, and the mist inside the Seed of Humanity seemed to find an escape route, rushing into Du Ge's palm through the gap.

In the blink of an eye, the Seed of Humanity became clear and transparent, with not a trace of mist left inside.

This scene left Kaska and Janice stunned once again.

"Kou Nan, what happened?"

"What ability did you awaken?"

They both asked simultaneously.

...

Du Ge couldn't spare a moment to speak.

After the mist from the Seed of Humanity entered his palm, he felt every cell in his body start to boil.

The first to be affected was his right hand, which had touched the Seed of Humanity.

Intense pain shot from his palm, and then his entire hand exploded from the inside out, followed by his wrist, forearm...

The mist from the Seed of Humanity was destroying everything it passed through, unstoppable.

The recovery power brought by the chaos affecting the entire planet couldn't match the speed of destruction from the Seed of Humanity; newly recovered cells were blown apart in an instant.

Damn it!

He had gone too far.

Janice had absorbed just a wisp of mist and was already in excruciating pain, unable to speak. The amount of mist he absorbed was at least ten thousand times that.

It seemed the Seed of Humanity released a wisp of mist each time to protect the inheritor!

Du Ge immediately mobilized all his divine power to protect his organs and brain, wrapping Janice in the Power of Poseidon: "Janice, come with me..."

In the next moment, the two of them disappeared from Kaska's sight.

Kaska stared blankly at the now empty Seed of Humanity, clasping his hands in prayer: "Kou Nan, you must survive, otherwise, with only me left, I fear I won't be able to carry out your plan..."

...

At this moment, Du Ge and Janice had already reached the depths of the ocean.

Both Sun God power and the Power of Poseidon had healing effects, but now they were in the ocean, where the Power of Poseidon was far more abundant than Sun God power.

Watching Du Ge's body continue to deteriorate, Janice was at a loss: "Kou Nan, what should I do?"

"Empty your mind, I'll teach you the art of dual cultivation." In the depths of the ocean, the speed at which Du Ge's body was deteriorating had slowed considerably.

But now, his body was still in a state of disrepair, with blood vessels, muscles, and even bones and organs exposed...

At this moment, he looked like a corpse that had been gnawed on by wild beasts.

"Can you still dual cultivate at a time like this?" Janice looked at Du Ge's body in shock. "That thing of yours is already gone."

"The physical union is considered a low-level form of dual cultivation; a higher form is the union of souls." In this life-and-death moment, Du Ge had no time for banter with Janice, quickly saying, "Next, empty your mind, have no resistance towards me, and let me guide you through the next steps..."

"Okay." Janice knew that without Du Ge, she would be completely defeated in this game. Although Du Ge's body looked a bit ruined, she couldn't care less and simply closed her eyes, entrusting herself entirely to Du Ge.

Du Ge and Janice's Power of Poseidon shared the same origin, and his soul was incredibly powerful.

To prevent any accidents, Du Ge wrapped the Power of Poseidon around his soul and touched Janice's forehead.

Janice indeed did not resist Du Ge; perhaps Du Ge's Power of Poseidon was too familiar, she only trembled slightly before allowing Du Ge to invade her soul.

The two streams of Power of Poseidon quickly merged, along with their souls.

It was a unique sensation.

Powerful, inclusive, pleasant...

All the words that could describe happiness seemed to envelop Janice's soul at that moment.

She couldn't describe the feeling at all.

At this moment, only one thought remained in her mind, to immerse herself in this enchanting dream and never wake up.

"Janice, stay awake, channel your Power of Poseidon according to the path I tell you..."

Du Ge was also experiencing dual cultivation for the first time, and the wonderful sensation almost made him lose himself. But the excruciating pain from his body's disintegration forced him to stay alert, his mind exceptionally clear, even able to sense the pulse of the entire ocean...

Previously, when Du Ge controlled the Power of Poseidon, he forcibly controlled the water, making it change shape according to his thoughts. But now, he felt like he was the ocean.

If he wanted, he could freeze the entire ocean in an instant or flood the land with seawater...

This probably wasn't brought about by dual cultivation.

If dual cultivation could make someone this powerful, everyone would be doing it, and no one would practice other cultivation techniques.

Since it wasn't dual cultivation, it must have been brought about by the Seed of Humanity...

As expected of a divine artifact that created a top-tier civilization in the universe, its transformation of the body was too domineering.

Thinking about it, the Seed of Humanity would awaken a supernatural ability in everyone by altering their genes, which, to some extent, wasn't much different from the Keywords.

Keywords acted on the soul, while the Seed of Humanity acted on the body, so the mist wasn't destroying his body but changing his genetic makeup from start to finish...

Or rather, it was reconstructing his genetic structure.

As long as he could endure this wave of transformation, the power of this body should be developed to its fullest!

The Keywords of Pan-Universal Entertainment were too powerful. Even though his strength was already capable of defeating Bai Long, Du Ge knew the gap between him and Pan-Universal Entertainment was still vast, vast enough to be despairing.

But at this moment, after absorbing the Seed of Humanity, Du Ge truly saw hope in opposing Pan-Universal Entertainment.

As long as he could endure...

...

While Du Ge was thinking about how to deal with Pan-Universal Entertainment, his physical condition was affecting the hearts of Pan-Universal Entertainment Company and countless viewers.

On the forums, discussions about him were rapidly filling the screen.

"Is Du Ge okay? He's so bold, daring to absorb the internal source of a life artifact with his body."

"I couldn't understand why Pan-Universal Entertainment placed Du Ge in such a remote civilization, but now I know. There was actually a life artifact on the planet."

"Pan-Universal Entertainment probably didn't expect Du Ge to make such a big move!"

"Du Ge has done very well. As long as his plan succeeds, he can stir up the entire universe from a remote planet. But why did he have to mess with the Seed of Humanity!"

"Perhaps ignorance is bliss!"

"His body is already in tatters, could he really not make it?"

"He can't not make it. Without Du Ge, the excitement of this Alien Star Battlefield would drop by at least eighty percent. I've already rewarded Du Ge with eight hundred thousand mental power, everyone should go reward him too. High mental power can increase recovery!"

"Okay, I'll reward him with a million, for all the fun he's brought me!"

"I'm in too."

...

The audience sparked a wave of rewards for Du Ge.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Pan-Universal Entertainment, Ross and others were stunned by Du Ge's reckless actions.

"Ross, what should we do? Should we support Du Ge?" Adan, the head of the Marketing Department, asked. "His situation is very difficult."

"Deploy a hundred billion mental power on him," Ross gritted his teeth and said. "Du Ge can't die now. He's already stirred up the storm, and once he grows, with his abilities, he'll turn this universe upside down. By then, no matter how much we invest, we'll earn it back tenfold."

"Is a hundred billion enough?" Adan asked.

"Then make it two hundred billion," Ross said. "There are plenty of resources in this universe, and those old fellows above will agree to this investment."

"Alright, I'll deploy it right away," said Gao Qiao, the head of the Technical Department.

"Good," Ross nodded again, looking at Du Ge, still fighting against fate in the dark ocean, and chuckled bitterly, "This guy always manages to create surprises!"

"Indeed! Initially, there was a deployment error, and he was thrown onto such a remote planet, yet he still stumbled upon a life artifact," said Hod, head of the Planning Department. "His luck is unmatched; he's like a natural protagonist, no matter where you put him, his brilliance can't be hidden."

"That's probably what they call the protagonist's halo!" Adan said. "Even those of us outside the field are helping him, even though he's just an actor under our control..."

"Hod, if you're talking about his luck, just say luck, why bring up deployment errors?" Gao Qiao said unhappily. "Everyone's deployment had deviations, this has nothing to do with the Technical Department, it's purely because the Exploration Department provided the wrong cosmic coordinates."

"..." Bas, head of the Exploration Department, defended himself awkwardly, "At least so far, the results are good, aren't they? Du Ge still made himself the center of the universe."

"Everyone, say less. Gao Qiao, keep a close eye on Du Ge's life status, and if there's any problem, deploy mental power to him immediately. We must ensure his survival," Ross ordered, nervously watching Du Ge on the screen.

...

Dual cultivation could simultaneously deepen the cultivation level of both individuals.

After Du Ge and Janice's Power of Poseidon intertwined, it quickly grew stronger.

But it was still not enough. Du Ge had to try injecting Sun God power into their souls. Sun God power was warm and scorching, and when this power joined the battlefield of soul cultivation, Janice's soul suffered another wave of new impact.

Her body trembled violently.

With her tremors, the ocean on the emperor stars surged with monstrous waves...

Tsunamis tens of meters high simultaneously struck many coastal cities, and this time, without Du Ge's protection, countless civilians in these cities were killed or injured...

The Federal order, which had just shown signs of stabilization, fell into chaos once again.

The sudden tsunamis were directly aimed at Du Ge and Janice, who could control the sea, and the internet was filled with voices condemning the two of them. The good image Du Ge had built up collapsed in an instant.

The blame was directed at the mutants, and many ordinary people took to the streets, starting protests and demonstrations, while some began to vandalize shops and factories run by mutants.

Presidents of various countries couldn't find Du Ge, each as anxious as ants on a hot pan, forced to urgently deploy satellites to search for Du Ge's whereabouts worldwide.

Meanwhile, Edward, Gordon, and others used their abilities to search for the missing Du Ge and Janice...

The whole world was in chaos.

...

The Chaos Keyword played a miraculous role at this time. Du Ge suddenly found that his recovery seemed to have strengthened, gradually able to counter the destruction of his body by the Seed of Humanity.

Du Ge didn't know what was happening outside, only assuming it was due to the Sun God power he had added to the dual cultivation.

So, gritting his teeth, he mixed in Dark God power as well...

Then, the power of lightning...

...

The stimulation came wave after wave.

The ocean seemed to boil, with giant waves everywhere, and various fish in the sea were tossed about, some even thrown into the air.

The whole world seemed to have entered an apocalypse prematurely.

Kaska, riding his flying device, watched the raging ocean: "My God, what are those two doing? But if they can make the entire planet's ocean rage, his health should be fine..."
