World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 636: The number of Du Ge's people keeps increasing

The gods' eyes were sharp, and at the moment Du Ge was sent flying, they clearly saw that he was holding the lung of the Celestial God King.

It was within their expectations that the Celestial God King would send Du Ge flying.

But the fact that Du Ge managed to snatch a piece of the Celestial God King's lung in that instant left them baffled.

The Celestial God King didn't become a God King just because of his domain; he also possessed immense strength, speed, and invincible defense.

Even if hit directly by a proton cannon, he wouldn't be injured.

Yet Du Ge managed to take his organ without breaking his defense. How did he do it?

One was merely sent flying, while the other had his organ taken. Was the gap between them really that vast?

The Fire God and others were besieging Birmingham's group. They had the upper hand due to their numbers, but upon witnessing this scene, their hearts sank halfway...

...

Even he hadn't noticed how his lung was taken.

He had self-healing abilities.

Losing an organ was nothing; even if only his head remained, he could still regenerate.

In that short time, the damaged lung had already regrown.

What the Celestial God King couldn't accept was not knowing how his lung was taken, nor how his hair and armor were silently removed.

Could it be that Du Ge's strength far exceeded his own?

Was he just toying with him earlier?

The Celestial God King's expression was uncertain as he looked at Du Ge across from him, not daring to act rashly.

Lightning continuously struck around them, and beneath their feet, blue flames burned fiercely.

However, the speed of the lightning and flames was so slow that it seemed more like a battle backdrop.

Du Ge possessed the power of the Sun God and the Thunder God, making him naturally immune to these attacks. Even if struck by lightning, he remained unharmed.

The Celestial God King was the same.

The two locked eyes.

The Celestial God King didn't move, and neither did Du Ge.

Plucking feathers from a passing goose could be targeted, like taking an arm or leg, but if not, it would randomly take something.

This time, Du Ge's luck wasn't great; he only got a lung. If it had been the heart, he might have severely injured the Celestial God King, but a lung? Forget it!

Such a minor injury could easily heal, let alone for the Celestial God King!

Alien Star warriors who lost limbs would only heal their wounds under the influence of keywords, unable to regrow new limbs. But Du Ge, having gained regenerative abilities from the Seed of Humanity, no longer feared losing limbs.

At their level, unless they were pulverized, it was hard to die!

However.

With a stroke of luck, Du Ge still used divine power to carve a small fish character on the Celestial God King's lung, then transmitted it over: "God King, your lung."

Bang!

The Celestial God King shattered his own lung with his hand.

Du Ge sighed inwardly. As expected, this one wouldn't reattach the lung he took out.

...

A skinny stick beats a wolf, both are afraid!

The Celestial God King didn't turn around, exposing his back, and Du Ge didn't dare move.

The Celestial God King was chased by Du Ge, and after finally deciding to confront him head-on, his lung was taken, and he couldn't gauge Du Ge's true abilities.

The higher the status, the more afraid of death. The Celestial God King wanted to win but didn't want to die, so he didn't dare move.

But remaining in a stalemate wasn't a solution. The Celestial God King looked at Du Ge and coldly said, "Du Ge, within my domain, you can't defeat me."

"Your armor was stripped by me, and your lung was just taken out." Du Ge knew the Celestial God King was bluffed by him, so he wasn't in a hurry and slowly thought of a way to deal with him.

"Just minor injuries." The Celestial God King smiled indifferently. The hair that Du Ge had shaved off had regrown into a head of golden hair. "Your strength might be comparable to mine, but what about them?"

The Celestial God King raised his hand, pointing at Birmingham and the others.

At this moment.

Birmingham and the others were once again at a disadvantage.

"When they're dead, you'll be alone, and eventually, you won't escape death either." The Celestial God King looked at Du Ge and said, "Du Ge, you're just an Alien Star warrior. Your current strength and influence are enough to secure your top position, but eventually, you'll leave. Why fight to the death just to entertain a crowd?"

When force can't solve the problem, it's time for strategy.

The Celestial God King tried to persuade Du Ge: "We have no enmity between us. On the contrary, when you started, I gave you the greatest support. Without my intervention, you would have been killed by the Zorn God Clan at the beginning.

You took their Seed of Humanity, so you're destined not to coexist peacefully with them. Since that's the case, why don't we join forces? You have the strength of a God King, and I have the domain.

Together, we can easily sweep across the universe. Then, I'll be the God King, and you can take your top position, a win-win situation."

I've always been the one convincing others, never thought I'd be persuaded today.

Du Ge laughed, looked at the Celestial God King, nodded, and asked, "Okay. But how can I trust you?"

"I can promise you the position of the leader of the gods," the Celestial God King said. "You can freely use the resources of the Celestial God Clan."

"Is it just an empty title?" Du Ge said. "In my world, there's a saying: 'How can one allow others to sleep soundly beside their bed?' My strength grows rapidly, and today I can only tie with you in your domain. It might not be long before my strength far surpasses yours. Are you really comfortable allying with me?"

"I never doubt my partners," the Celestial God King said, looking at Du Ge. "Du Ge, I've studied your profile and believe in your character. Most importantly, we have no real conflict of interest. On the contrary, if we fight to the point of mutual destruction, others will benefit, which isn't in our interest."

He paused and continued, "I can let you keep the Seed of Humanity until you leave. That's the best offer I can give."

"I need a contract," Du Ge said.

"What kind of contract?" the Celestial God King asked.

"A contract of mutual trust and equality," Du Ge smiled slightly, opening his palm. A flicker of lightning emerged from his palm, forming a deformed fish character in seal script.

Around the fish character, Du Ge added a hexagram symbol, making it look more like a magic array.

The Celestial God King frowned slightly as he looked at the lightning symbol in Du Ge's palm: "Du Ge, I don't understand the meaning of your magic array, and I won't sign this contract with you."

"So, you don't trust me at all," Du Ge mocked with a laugh, dispersing the lightning symbol in his palm. "Then let's settle this with force. Whoever wins calls the shots. God King, I don't really want the position you offer me. I can surpass you at any moment, so why should I follow your arrangements?

My goal is to become the Supreme God of this world. The best choice is for you to follow my orders. After I leave, I might pass the position of Supreme God to you."

Du Ge's skill was too powerful, capable of influencing the entire world alone. Under this precondition, there was no basis for cooperation between the two.

As Du Ge said, "How can one allow others to sleep soundly beside their bed?" No ruler would allow someone as strong as Du Ge to share power with them.

Both were stalling for time.

The Celestial God King was waiting for the Fire God and others to eliminate Birmingham and Du Ge's subordinates; Du Ge was waiting for a signal from Janice, or a few suitable moments to turn...

...

Suddenly.

Janice revealed herself, gestured that it was done, and after releasing the signal, her form vanished again.

The Celestial God King's brow furrowed, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

"Brothers, stop entangling with them, attack their loved ones, all warships attack randomly," Du Ge laughed aloud and ordered.

The Celestial God King's face changed dramatically: "Despicable."

He suddenly flashed beside Du Ge, throwing a punch at his face.

But Du Ge had already chosen his target, launching a backstab against the Fire God, instantly appearing behind him, dodging the Celestial God King's attack while his hands moved swiftly, stripping him clean.

Then, the prepared "fish" brand was pressed onto the Fire God's back, and he casually ran his hand over him, taking away his head of hair.

Without knowing Du Ge had a backstab ability, the Fire God and others wouldn't face Du Ge directly, guarding against his sneak attacks.

Moreover, in the Celestial God King's domain, their movements were slowed down countless times, making it impossible to dodge...

In a proper battle, skills requiring verbal manipulation like attack intent and defense-breaking taunts couldn't be used in time. At this moment, combat skills were the most straightforward.

The Celestial God King missed his strike, seeing Du Ge attack the Fire God, thinking he was dealing with his subordinates first.

So he also gave up chasing Du Ge, turning to hunt down Harry and others. He had more people, and with extreme operations, he was sure to kill Du Ge's subordinates first.

After dealing with Du Ge's key subordinates, even if Du Ge's level was comparable to his own, sheer numbers could overwhelm him.

But just as he turned, a warning surged in his heart.

Damn it, here it comes again!

Must he be attacked from behind?

Having suffered the loss of being stripped, the Celestial God King simply didn't dodge, turning to face Du Ge, attacking head-on.

He punched Du Ge away, but his shoulder suddenly ached, and his entire arm was pulled off by Du Ge.

The Celestial God King was furious. Damn it, what kind of trick was this? His super-strong defense was like paper in front of Du Ge, who could take whatever he wanted!

And that guy's body was even tougher than his own, making it impossible to take him down with a single punch...

Enough!

The Celestial God King gritted his teeth, using divine power to regrow an arm, and said with a dark face: "Gods, I'll hold Du Ge, quickly kill Birmingham and the others."

The Thunder God and Earth God obeyed, but the Fire God, marked with the fish character by Du Ge, hesitated.

"Fire God, attack the Thunder God," Du Ge shouted opportunistically.

The Celestial God King was stunned, thinking Du Ge misspoke, but the next moment almost made his jaw drop.

The Fire God actually controlled flames to attack the Thunder God.

The Thunder God, unprepared, turned abruptly: "Tiva, are you crazy!"

But as he turned, his back suddenly felt cold, and when he came to his senses, his armor and hair were gone. At the same time, a sense of awe and affection for Du Ge arose in his heart.

"Thunder God, attack others, overthrow the Celestial God King," Du Ge quickly ordered.

The Thunder God responded, turning his thunder domain towards the Mountain God, with the Fire God assisting with flames.

The sudden betrayal of the Thunder God and Fire God threw the others into disarray.

Du Ge took the opportunity to bring the Abyss God and God of Darkness under his control. In the Celestial God King's domain, everyone's speed was slowed, and no one could dodge his backstab.

The Celestial God King was dumbfounded, seeing clearly what Du Ge did to those people. The so-called equal contract Du Ge had shown earlier, once embedded into the Fire God and others, instantly changed their allegiance.

Damn it, this was unbelievable!

No wonder Du Ge didn't kill them or want to cooperate with him; he had the ability to turn others into puppets and wouldn't cooperate with anyone!

Watching Du Ge quickly turn his subordinates into his own, the Celestial God King's eyes were bloodshot: "Tiva, Ram, wake up, you've been controlled by Du Ge."

But the Fire God and others remained unmoved, loyally executing Du Ge's orders.

The Celestial God King's heart was filled with bitterness, for the first time feeling the urge to retreat. He had thought he could overwhelm Du Ge with numbers, but it was laughable. At this rate, he'd soon be alone!

And Du Ge was no longer engaging him directly, always circling his subordinates, attacking from behind, slippery and elusive...

As more gods betrayed him, the Celestial God King's heart was filled with frustration. Du Ge wasn't someone ordinary people could handle. He should have gone to the Zorn God King for an alliance as promised.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, the Celestial God King said in despair: "Gods not yet controlled by Du Ge, retreat quickly..."

Saying this.

He withdrew his domain.

Everything around returned to normal in an instant. The Sun God, Earth God, and others regained their divine power, hastily using their teleportation abilities.

The suppressed drone beams collectively accelerated, crashing into Du Ge's eleven warships.

The gods who had just planned to escape turned in unison, rushing towards their loved ones to shield them...

The Celestial God King was no exception. Seeing the beams about to hit the Hurricane, his heart trembled, reflexively activating his domain again, slowing everything down.

And in this short time, all the God Kings brought by the Celestial God King were marked with the fish character by Du Ge.

Because everyone had turned around, and without any defense, they went to their loved ones. Even if they regained their divine power, they couldn't dodge Du Ge's backstab, especially since they hadn't intended to dodge...

The battlefield situation changed rapidly. The Celestial God King, who had just held the upper hand, truly became alone.

He looked at Du Ge, then at his former subordinates around him, then back at the Hurricane, his eyes bloodshot: "Despicable!"

"God King, on the battlefield, there's no such thing as despicable or not, only winning matters," Du Ge said confidently with a smile. "God King, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you still refuse to see reason and want to oppose me, then I won't hold back anymore."

Using the tiger's skin as a banner.

The God Kings under the Celestial God King had all become his own, and Du Ge couldn't reveal the secret of his backstab on the battlefield. Even if he did, their speed was too slow to reposition.

Theoretically, the suppressed Du Ge was no match for the Celestial God King.

In fact, from the beginning, he wasn't as strong as the Celestial God King, merely using his backstab to gain an advantage!

But his backstab was used so skillfully that even now, the Celestial God King hadn't discovered his secret.

"Du Ge, give up. I will never become your puppet," the Celestial God King's eyes were filled with anger, white flames igniting on his body. "I haven't lost yet. Next, I'll use all my strength..."

Behind Du Ge, several divine powers also ignited. He didn't know what the white flames on the Celestial God King were for, but his divine powers were used as special effects, at least not losing in momentum.

His heart was extremely tense, but his expression remained calm: "God King, think carefully. If we fight with all our might, the Hurricane might not survive. Can you bear to see her destroyed by our battle's aftermath?"

"..." The Celestial God King's momentum suddenly weakened, squinting his eyes, "Despicable."

"Let's cooperate!" Du Ge smiled, "You're right, I will leave in the future. We can only gain the most benefit by cooperating, there's no need to fight to the death. I won't mark you, and when I leave, I'll even leave the Seed of Humanity for you..."

This was the condition the Celestial God King had proposed earlier, which Du Ge hadn't agreed to, but now, hearing the same condition from Du Ge, the Celestial God King hesitated.

"Celestial God King, you have no chance of winning," Du Ge struck while the iron was hot, "Once the Hurricane is destroyed, you'll be in unbearable pain, and then I'll exploit your weakness. In a battle between masters, a flawed person can never defeat a flawless one. Once I mark you, you'll lose even your freedom."

"Fine. I agree," the Celestial God King took a deep breath, his eyes red, "But I have one condition: break the damned love between me and the Hurricane..."
