World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 652: Deceivers lead you in

No one could refuse Du Ge's proposal.

Because his proposals often came with a lot of benefits.

They were temptations set based on their current predicament, and sometimes Du Ge might just give a little push to the decision you were about to make, making everything seem logical and reasonable.

When your desire for benefits surpasses your rationality, part of your vision gets obscured.

An altruistic person easily arouses suspicion, but in Du Ge's proposals, his personal interests were also mixed in, making a win-win situation more convincing.

After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly.

The Governor decided to swallow the pie handed over by Du Ge's avatar, unable to resist the temptation of mastering multiple Keywords at once.

Moreover, Du Ge's avatar could be recalled and had no physical form, making him believe he could easily manipulate the other party...

...

"...We plan to create a batch of warriors with over twenty skills in the accompanying universe to besiege Du Ge in the main universe..." In the Simulation Field, the Governor explained their plan while observing the expression of Du Ge's avatar.

"So, you were really defeated by the main body?" After listening, Du Ge's avatar asked with a smile.

"Yes." The Governor admitted his failure frankly, "You're right, no one can defeat Du Ge in his rhythm, but luckily we have you."

"Even if I can repeatedly possess bodies, do your people have time to grow?" Du Ge's avatar considerately asked for the other party, "If my main body is as powerful as you describe, breaking through the universe's barriers shouldn't be difficult, right!"

"Du Ge, you don't need to worry about that, our warriors have high mental power. Moreover, to some extent, skills can bridge the gap in strength. Once, you also relied on skills to slay gods, didn't you?" The Governor said with a smile, "Twenty-one skills can't possibly defeat tens of thousands of skills..."

Du Ge's avatar fell into silence, feeling that he might have created trouble for the main body.

"Is there a problem?" The Governor asked.

"Not just twenty-one skills." Du Ge's avatar raised his head and said, "Every time I possess a new body, I gain two more skills. If I'm lucky, I can bring out one skill from the main Keywords, adding three to four skills..."

Du Ge had two Keywords because he had two souls within him.

Logically, after the God-Slaying Cannon eliminated the original Du Ge's soul and re-entered the Alien Star Battlefield, Du Ge should only have one Keyword.

But Du Ge's avatar in the Pan-Universal contained fragments of the original Du Ge's soul.

As long as the original soul fragments remained and could be recognized by the server, he could always have two Keywords, although the original Du Ge's soul fragments would become increasingly thin.

Perhaps when the original Du Ge's soul fragments became so thin that even the server couldn't recognize them, Du Ge would lose the benefit of having two Keywords!

But each time he crossed over, his body left on the Alien Star Battlefield would gain two more skills, stacking up. When a body possessed fifty or even a hundred skills, what kind of monster would that create?

Could the main body really handle such a monster?

Considering this, Du Ge's avatar initially hesitated.

But soon, he cast aside this hesitation.

The main body escaped the control of Pan-Universal Entertainment with just twenty-one skills. If his skills increased in the future, he might be able to use the same method to break free from Pan-Universal Entertainment.

Who said an avatar couldn't be more powerful than the main body?

...

Continuously stacking skills?

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Pan-Universal executives lit up.

The Simulation Field could perfectly simulate anyone's emotions. Although they tried hard to conceal it, Du Ge's avatar still clearly heard their accelerated heartbeats. He smiled slightly and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

How could there be any questions?

This was such a perfect method to master Keywords!

If it weren't for Du Ge's avatar demanding the elimination of the main body, they might even abandon the hard-to-find multiverse and search for a new universe to fully utilize Du Ge's avatar until all Keywords were gathered onto one person.

"No problem." The Governor suppressed his excitement, "Du Ge, time is of the essence. We must enter the Alien Star Battlefield immediately and complete our arrangements before your main body gains the ability to break the universe's barriers..."

"Governor, as long as the mental power is sufficient, the soul can split infinitely." Du Ge smiled, interrupting him and proposing an even more enticing suggestion, "Since we want to create a massive army, why not let me split into multiple souls and possess bodies simultaneously? This way, the efficiency is higher."

Since the other party had already taken the bait, Du Ge wouldn't be polite anymore.

The main body recklessly manipulated the Seed of Humanity, and Pan-Universal Entertainment invested a large amount of mental power in him to help him through the crisis. When he entered the Alien Star Battlefield, the Pan-Universal civilization generously allocated him ten billion mental power, proving that Pan-Universal Entertainment had a large stockpile of mental power.

Once the mental power was transferred to him, it couldn't be taken back. So why be polite?

Split into a hundred souls and possess bodies simultaneously. Even if each soul only received ten billion mental power, upon returning and merging, he would have a trillion mental power. Wouldn't that be more satisfying than painstakingly honing mental power on the Alien Star Battlefield?

"Simultaneous possession?"

The Governor felt he couldn't keep up with Du Ge's thinking. He looked at Du Ge with a peculiar expression.

He once thought Du Ge's avatar proposed cooperation with them as part of a conspiracy, intending to delay on the Alien Star Battlefield until Du Ge's main body joined forces with them or something.

But now, Du Ge's avatar was supplementing the plan more and more perfectly, even patching up the loophole of insufficient time, genuinely considering their interests without leaving any backdoor for Du Ge's main body...

No wonder they repeatedly suffered setbacks with Du Ge. If he was so ruthless to himself, how much more to others?

Indeed.

Only Du Ge could deal with Du Ge. The avatar and the main body were cut from the same cloth, both fond of blitzkrieg tactics!

"Not too many, a hundred people per possession, each avatar invested with a hundred billion mental power. Pan-Universal only needs to invest a trillion mental power initially to have a hundred high-level warriors with twenty-three skills in a short time. No matter how you calculate, you profit greatly." Du Ge's smile was full of sincerity, all for the other party's consideration.

A trillion?

The Governor was stunned for a moment, suddenly recalling the warriors sent to possess Du Ge, having already lost over a trillion on Du Ge's main body.

"Governor, you can't catch a wolf without risking the child." Du Ge's avatar smiled, "You can always pull me out of the Alien Star Battlefield if things get out of control. To deal with my main body, you wouldn't hesitate to invest a trillion, would you?

This investment is a one-time deal. The second deployment won't require you to invest again."

"..." The Governor was still hesitating.

"A trillion, for a bright future for Pan-Universal. Governor, what are you worried about?" Du Ge's avatar frowned, "Even if I have a trillion mental power, could I overshadow you?"

Every word from Du Ge was probing, testing how high the Governor's mental power was.

Sigh!

Du Ge sighed, shaking his head as he looked around, "If you're unwilling to spend even a trillion, I doubt your sincerity.

I bear significant risks as well. If you're really uneasy, then let's proceed according to your plan, step by step. At worst, when you are defeated by Du Ge, I'll return to the main body. It won't be much of a loss for me.

Governor, if I were you, I'd invest a hundred trillion at once, directly creating an army of ten thousand. The bolder the person, the greater the yield..."

A hundred trillion?

Dream on!

Giving you a hundred trillion is like handing over the Pan-Universal civilization to you!

The Governor's eye twitched, "Fine, a trillion it is. But there's a condition..."

"Speak." Du Ge said, feeling he had asked for too little since the other party didn't haggle, but he didn't regret it.

Because the focus was on the trillion mental power, completely overlooking the fact that his hundred avatars would awaken two hundred skills simultaneously.

When his avatars returned and merged, he would instantly become a superpower with a trillion mental power and over two hundred skills...

Or perhaps.

He might as well merge on the Alien Star Battlefield, with over two hundred skills, he should be able to resist Pan-Universal Entertainment's recall, right?

The main body, with over three hundred billion mental power and twenty-one skills, could already remain on the Alien Star Battlefield...

"You must complete the skill awakening of all avatars within three days. Then, we'll recall you and quickly deploy the next round, continuing to hone skills." The Governor said, "Your main body could break the universe's barriers at any time. We must create an army of ten thousand within a month."

"No problem." Du Ge's avatar readily agreed, "But the prerequisite is that the main Keywords must be effective."

"Agreed." The Governor nodded.

"Governor, is there anything else you'd like to add?" Du Ge's avatar asked with a smile.

"Not for now." The Governor looked at Du Ge, threatening, "Du Ge, you'd better not play any tricks. A trillion mental power is nothing to me, and you have no physical form. If anything goes wrong, I can eliminate you at any time."

"Governor, you're overthinking. Trust is essential in cooperation. When we decided to collaborate, you should have trusted me completely. Otherwise, it would have been better not to start." Du Ge's avatar said confidently, having unknowingly seized the initiative.

"..." The Governor calmly met Du Ge's gaze, suddenly recalling the feeling of being led by the nose by Du Ge's main body.

This feeling made him uneasy.

He took a deep breath, thinking to himself, once he mastered all the Keywords, everything related to Du Ge, main body or avatar, must be destroyed. This guy was too terrifying. If allowed to grow, the Pan-Universal civilization might fall into his hands.

"Du Ge, you're right, trust is essential. I believe in you, and you better not disappoint me." The Governor smiled slightly and turned to instruct Tu Shan, "Tu Shan, prepare the mental power for Du Ge, proceed according to the plan."

...

Soon.

Du Ge's avatar's mental power was in place.

He used Soul Splitting to divide into a hundred avatars, which were deployed into the Alien Star Battlefield of the accompanying universe.

Previously, the body created by Du Ge's avatar was occupied by Ross, and the bodies of other Alien Star warriors were similarly occupied by Pan-Universal Entertainment, as their every move was monitored by Pan-Universal Entertainment.

So, even if the shells were replaced, the lower-ranking officers didn't notice anything unusual.

Everything remained the same.

The latest batch of Du Ge's avatars was deployed into Ross's coalition, awakening Keywords on the front line. This was Du Ge's home ground, and awakening Keywords posed little danger.

Within the same universe, Keywords couldn't repeat, so the hundred Du Ge's avatars had different Keywords.

The main Keywords were all easy to develop, such as courage, order, charm, competition, leadership, wealth, rules, etc.

The reason for setting the main Keywords as positive was to make room for uncontrollable hidden Keywords.

After all.

Skills from hidden Keywords could be retained 100%, and skills awakened from negative words like sinister or eccentric were more conducive to combat...

Du Ge was unscrupulous in acquiring skills, especially since all second Keyword skills were reserved for himself, and he needed to use skills to increase his mental power.

Therefore, Du Ge's avatar was even more relentless in acquiring skills, wanting to give the main body a surprise, a massive gift when they reunited.

In the Rad God Clan's army and the civilization he controlled, a hundred Du Ge's were wreaking havoc, even coordinating with each other, truly creating chaos.

In less than a day, his influence spread throughout the universe.

...

Pan-Universal Headquarters.

The screens were filled with Du Ge, each one with their own unique tactics, leaving everyone dazzled.

In comparison, the main body in the main universe was the quietest, methodically honing the laws of the Heavenly Mandate, attempting to become the Supreme God.

Ross had been withdrawn, replaced by Tu Shan to experience having twenty-one skills. They needed to gradually adapt to having a multi-skilled body, starting with twenty-one skills.

Du Ge's avatar had ignited everyone's ambition.

Every citizen of Pan-Universal Entertainment was informed of the upcoming migration plan, all preparing for the great migration to the multiverse after Du Ge's main body perished.

A body with over twenty skills, a cosmic cluster of multiple parallel universes, the future life filled everyone with anticipation.

...

"Jia Ge, are we being too reckless with this?" Chairman Shen Long looked at the screens filled with Du Ge, "I don't know why, but so many Du Ge's make me feel uneasy."

"As long as the backend data is normal, there's nothing to worry about." The Governor said, "Shen Long, you stay here to oversee the situation, I'll go talk to Du Ge's avatar."

"Talk about what?" Shen Long asked.

"Finding another new universe, letting him split into two avatars and deploy them, creating two bodies with multiple Keywords, leaving us a way out." Governor Jia Ge hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice, "If things become untenable, we'll leave with the source of Keywords and Du Ge's avatar seeds."

"..." Shen Long was stunned for a moment, then nodded involuntarily.
