World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 649: Learn from the strengths of others

Fifteen trillion units of mental power were quickly deployed.

On the virtual screen.

Du Ge, who had been possessed, suddenly began to struggle in agony.

He struggled for a full three minutes, his face contorted, muscles bulging, and even fine beads of blood seeped from his pores, making him look like a blood-soaked man.

The terrifying scene alarmed Zorn God King and others, who rushed forward to check on Du Ge's condition.

Facing the concerned crowd, Du Ge, pale-faced, weakly waved his hand and gritted his teeth, "Everyone, this time the soul trying to possess me is stronger than before. I might not hold on. If you find that someone else has taken over my body, kill me immediately without mercy..."

...

Watching Du Ge's performance, the headquarters of Pan-Universal Entertainment was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Tu Shan's eye twitched. This bastard was playing them for fools. Mental power possession was always calm, and even if there was pain, it wouldn't last for three minutes.

This cunning guy was clearly tricking them into continuing to send people to possess his body...

He must have gained some benefit from the possession process!

Chairman Tu Shan's heart ached, as the Governor had used up all of Pan-Universal Entertainment's reserves, and in the blink of an eye, nearly two trillion units of mental power had gone down the drain. It was a colossal waste!

"Governor, should we continue?" Chairman Shen Long asked, "Du Ge might be using a fake performance to cover his weakness, making us think he's bluffing so we won't dare to send more people to possess him. Of course, he might also be luring us to continue the possession so he can profit from it..."

Tu Shan was stunned, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. This was another layer of complexity; Du Ge was too sly.

"No need to continue." The Governor ignored Du Ge's performance, his gaze growing more intense as he turned to Meng Ping, "Meng Ping, lead the army into the universe where Du Ge is located and harvest the civilizations within it.

Du Ge relies on the Power of Faith, the stirring of emotions, and the attribute of a single move affecting the whole situation. If the universe is empty, all his attributes will stagnate. Reduce him to a lone man, and we won't worry about dealing with him..."

"Governor, there's not enough time!" Meng Ping said, "Du Ge's power is growing rapidly, and he has seized the chaos keyword. If we engage in slaughter on the Alien Star Battlefield, it will boost his power. Once he has the strength to break through the universe's barriers, even if we clear the universe, we won't be able to catch him."

He was only questioning the success rate of the strategy, not the morality of slaughtering the universe. They had long been desensitized to life, entertaining themselves with the harvesting of other civilizations.

"As long as we're fast enough." The Governor said, "Looking at all of Du Ge's actions, he has always maintained some protection for the lower levels. He won't stand by and watch us slaughter. If he breaks through the universe's barriers and enters another universe, we'll chase him and kill him. His speed in breaking through the barriers will never be faster than our projection speed..."

After a moment of silence, Meng Ping said, "Jia Ge, are you sure you want to be enemies with Du Ge? Our people have no physical form, and losing even one on the battlefield is a loss for us. If we don't let the Alien Star warriors pave the way and send our people directly to the Alien Star Battlefield, excessive casualties could risk our extinction."

"Meng Ping, I know how precious our warriors are." The Governor sighed, "But the Alien Star warriors grow too slowly. By the time they develop their physical attributes and skills, we won't be able to reach Du Ge."

Another silence ensued.

Everyone present knew Du Ge excelled at blitzkrieg tactics, but they couldn't disrupt his rhythm.

They were even more challenged than the Alien Star warriors.

Because they were facing a fully-formed Du Ge, whose power was established and who had twenty-one skills.

However, they had an advantage over Du Ge: they could constantly monitor his movements and respond promptly.

For example.

They could avoid Du Ge's current location and conduct purges in remote areas. Once they detected signs of Du Ge taking action.

Moreover, if the Alien Star warriors were outmatched, they could summon their own warriors back at any time, relocate them, and preserve their living forces.

In the early stages of the war, they would never engage Du Ge head-on, gradually eroding his power and dismantling his power base.

...

"I just proposed a suggestion. If anyone has anything to add, feel free to speak." The Governor said, "The secrets of Du Ge concern our future and even the fate of our people. The plan against him must be perfected."

"Governor, we can start with Du Ge's avatar in the accompanying universe." Tu Shan, who had almost shown weakness earlier, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "The avatar currently has only two skills. We can use external forces to release the hidden skills within him."

"Tu Shan, are you referring to the God-Slaying Cannon?" Chairman Jia Long asked.

"Yes, Du Ge was exposed after being hit by the God-Slaying Cannon." Tu Shan said, "I think we can replicate the scene using the God-Slaying Cannon. If we confirm that the God-Slaying Cannon can activate Du Ge's hidden skills, we can continuously send Du Ge's avatar into the Alien Star Battlefield, repeating this operation until we create a batch of bodies with twenty-one skills."

The Governor's eyes lit up, signaling him to continue.

"Du Ge's avatar doesn't have as high mental power as the main body." Tu Shan looked around, "Even if hit by the God-Slaying Cannon, he would still be out of our control. It would be easy for our people to possess him, at least without expending so much mental power."

"Governor, I think Tu Shan makes a lot of sense." General Meng Ping said, "In the main universe, we can use our people to stall Du Ge while continuously using Du Ge's avatar in the accompanying universe to replicate bodies with twenty-one skills. In a short time, we can have a batch of super soldiers.

Perhaps Du Ge's main body can easily defeat warriors with one or two keywords.

But if everyone has twenty-one skills, the gap between us and Du Ge will narrow infinitely. Plus, our mental power is inherently strong, even Du Ge can't face off against tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of our warriors."

"Exactly, each deployment process, we can assign Du Ge different keywords. Even if most skills are the same as Du Ge's, there will always be two or three skills different from Du Ge's main body. With more skills, there will always be some that can restrain Du Ge." Ross said.

The Governor's strategy was to flood the battlefield with numbers, but Tu Shan's proposal opened everyone's minds, even Ross and others got excited.

After all, Du Ge's body was originally out of their reach, but now everyone had the opportunity to have a super body.

Everyone had seen how fast Du Ge with twenty-one skills could grow. If everyone in Pan-Universal had twenty-one skills, they could use one body for life, never needing to change bodies, truly becoming the first race in the universe.

"When Du Ge finally manages to defeat our disruptive warriors and enters the accompanying universe, only to find everyone has over twenty skills like him, how desperate will he be? I really want to see his expression at that moment!"

"Du Ge would never have imagined that his avatar would be the one to ultimately defeat him."

"Governor, does this mean we've broken the curse of keywords on our race, and we don't need to find Du Ge's Heavenly Dao main body anymore?"

"No, we still need to find Du Ge's Heavenly Dao main body. The current method relies on Du Ge's avatar. If the avatar disappears, we'll be left with nothing. Only by finding Du Ge's Heavenly Dao main body and truly mastering the keywords can we truly resolve the hidden dangers for our people." The Governor said.

"What if Du Ge's avatar realizes our plan and resists?" Hod asked.

"The avatar only shares memories with the main body when in the same universe, so there's nothing to worry about." Filo said, "Du Ge's avatar's original mental power is too low, he can't resist us, he can only obediently follow our arrangements."

"Tu Shan's suggestion is good, does anyone have anything to add?" The Governor looked around and asked.

Everyone exchanged glances and shook their heads.

"In that case, let's proceed with this plan." The Governor said, "We are pressed for time. Meng Ping, gather the army and prepare to deploy into the universe where Du Ge's main body is.

Tu Shan, your company is responsible for monitoring the entire battlefield. If there are any emergencies, summon our warriors back immediately to minimize casualties.

Filo, Gao Qiao, continue your previous research.

Ross, notify the overseas managers to return to headquarters, have Bai Long bring back Du Ge's body, not just Du Ge's body, but also the bodies of Dao Ancestors, Immortal Emperors, and anyone related to Du Ge, bring them all back to headquarters.

In case of any unexpected events, these people might play a certain role."

"Yes." Everyone accepted their orders and went to their respective tasks.

In an instant.

Only Governor Jia Ge and Chairman Shen Long were left at headquarters.

Shen Long looked at Jia Ge and asked leisurely, "Jia Ge, do you really plan to let every clansman have over twenty skills? Having over twenty skills will quickly close the gap between ordinary clansmen and us, and doing so will plunge Pan-Universal into extreme chaos, which is not conducive to our rule."

"Since you know, there's no need to ask me." Jia Ge glanced at him and smiled, "The universe doesn't need so many top powerhouses. Shen Long, rest assured, the strongest will only be a few of us.

If we can truly master the keywords, it wouldn't matter if all the clansmen died. At that time, rebuilding a new Pan-Universal would be easy."

"Du Ge is qualified to join us." Shen Long said.

"If he's alive, it wouldn't be him joining us, but us being ruled by him." Jia Ge looked at Du Ge on the screen again and said, "He's too terrifying. I can't imagine how powerful his main body is."

He paused and suddenly asked, "Shen Long, if one day we really find the location of his main body, would you dare to go and conquer him?"

"..." Shen Long paused, also looking at Du Ge on the screen, without answering Jia Ge's question.

"Actually, I'm very worried." Jia Ge said.

"Worried about what?" Shen Long asked.

"Worried that the day we really defeat Du Ge's main body, we might directly attract his Heavenly Dao main body." Jia Ge said.

"Jia Ge, I think you're overthinking it." Shen Long suddenly laughed, "If his main body is really that powerful, he could just come and take our keywords, why bother sneaking an avatar over to cause trouble. Maybe Du Ge's main body's power has already surpassed his Heavenly Dao true self."

"Perhaps!" Jia Ge laughed and said no more.

...

The second time he was possessed.

Du Ge's mental power soared again, jumping from nine trillion to sixteen trillion.

The quantitative change led to a qualitative change.

With the surge in mental power, his strength also advanced by leaps and bounds. Many things he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear, the principles of the universe's operation, the divine powers he mastered, all the superpowers granted by the Seed of Humanity, all became clear to him.

Previously.

Space ability was Du Ge's weak point, his use of space was limited to teleportation and sensing when others used space.

But now, recalling how Zorn God King, Rhett, Hart, and others used space, Du Ge suddenly understood the principles, and with his strong mental power, he could use those abilities more skillfully than Rhett and others.

His strength and body toughness also experienced explosive growth.

Du Ge's perception could cover an entire galaxy, and he had mastered the Light Domain, which was as large as his perception range.

This meant he could move freely within a galaxy.

The Power of Faith could expand his perception range, allowing Du Ge to sense environments further away through his followers, but the perception from the Power of Faith was not covered by the domain.

Because the universe was vast, traveling from one civilization to another required using wormhole space jumps, Du Ge didn't dare to experiment with his body, fearing it would be torn apart by space jumps.

But now, his body toughness had reached an incredible level.

Even Du Ge's star-shattering strength couldn't leave a mark on his body. He felt that his current body toughness was enough to support him in teleporting freely within the universe.

This meant he could truly respond to the prayers of the Supreme God's followers at any time and instantly move to their side to solve their problems.

But Du Ge didn't plan to do that, as Pan-Universal Entertainment's two precise deployments targeting his body made him realize that his movements were still being monitored by Pan-Universal Entertainment.

Since he was still being watched, it was better not to expose some abilities, so they could serve as trump cards at critical moments.

After his previous trump card was exposed, Du Ge habitually began accumulating new trump cards for himself.

Every time he was possessed, his mental power would surge, whether there was a mastermind behind it or not, it was a tangible benefit for him...

So, Du Ge put on a clumsy performance during the possession, hoping Pan-Universal Entertainment would send him another wave of benefits.

In the end, after the performance, he still didn't receive a third wave of possession.

Du Ge knew his performance had been seen through.

With a flick of his finger, he cleaned off the blood stains he had forced out of his body, and sat up straight as if nothing had happened, smiling at those concerned about him, "Alright, everyone can go back. I was just tricking Pan-Universal Entertainment earlier. Every failed possession costs them a person, and those sent to possess me must be their generals.

I was hoping to use myself as bait to take down another of their generals, making our universe a bit safer. But since they didn't fall for it, let's continue discussing how to deal with Pan-Universal Entertainment. They failed to kill me this time, so they'll definitely have new moves, and we must be fully prepared to make sure they don't return..."
