World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 653: Edge of Losing Control: Pan-Universal Entertainment

Du Ge focused all his attention on developing his Keywords, causing the war conflicts in the accompanying universe to halt, unlike the chaos in the main universe where Du Ge's original body resided.

The First Saint of the Rad Clan, who claimed to have attained the Hunyuan Dao fruit, never showed up, nor did the First Saint who fled from the main universe.

The entire accompanying universe was in a strange yet peaceful state.

Strictly speaking, all universes in the multiverse are parallel, with no primary or secondary distinction. The so-called main universe is merely a definition set by Pan-Universal Entertainment!

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Under Du Ge's efforts, most of the Keywords' skills awakened successfully.

Skills like Winged Shield, Sequence Light, Attack East Strike West, Money Makes the Devil Turn Millstones, Orders Must Be Obeyed, Insane, Heartbroken, Tearfully Moved, Earth-Shattering, and more emerged one after another.

Some skills were so exaggerated that even Du Ge felt they were stronger than many of the twenty-one skills he already possessed.

In fact, many of Du Ge's twenty-one skills were not very useful in battle.

Du Ge's divided consciousness shared memories, and he was incredibly envious of the newly awakened skills. For a moment, he considered merging all his divided consciousnesses on the Alien Star Battlefield.

With a hundred divided consciousnesses, each possessing four skills, he would have over four hundred skills. Even if two hundred were destroyed by the God-Slaying Cannon, he would still have more than two hundred left.

Moreover, during the process of honing skills, his mental power was increasing. In three days, the combined mental power of all his divided consciousnesses exceeded twelve trillion.

When his main body reached three trillion, he could refuse the summons of Pan-Universal Entertainment.

With so many skills and over ten trillion in mental power, he could easily clear out the Pan-Universal Entertainment warriors monitoring him.

If he could evade the summons of Pan-Universal and stay in this universe, reuniting with his main body, Pan-Universal civilization might never dare to target him again!

As for the divided consciousness seeds left in Pan-Universal civilization, it seemed unnecessary to retrieve them completely...

Ultimately, Du Ge's divided consciousness abandoned this tempting idea. He dared not gamble on whether he would be summoned back. If he integrated all the skills but was summoned away by Pan-Universal Entertainment, his main body would be in big trouble.

Fortune favors the bold.

Pan-Universal civilization wasn't in a hurry, so why should he be?

With each opportunity for body possession, he gained at least two hundred skills. After five possessions, he would have a thousand skills...

When he or his main body had the power to break through the universe's barriers, he would then bring all the skills to his main body, ensuring it wouldn't be summoned back by Pan-Universal.

Even if he left behind hundreds of super warrior bodies for Pan-Universal civilization, they wouldn't be a match for his main body.

That would be the optimal solution.

...

To achieve his goal, Du Ge's divided consciousness delayed for a day before notifying Pan-Universal civilization that all his divided consciousnesses had awakened their skills.

The Governor and others, who had been monitoring Du Ge's divided consciousness data, used the God-Slaying Cannon on Du Ge and quickly initiated the recall program.

When all of Du Ge's divided consciousnesses returned to Pan-Universal civilization headquarters, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.

They deployed a batch of elite warriors to occupy the bodies left by Du Ge's divided consciousness and confirmed that each body had twenty-three skills before the Governor and others truly felt at ease.

After praising Du Ge's divided consciousness and reporting the good news of his success to Pan-Universal civilization, the Governor and others urged Du Ge's divided consciousness to initiate the second round of deployment.

After returning, Du Ge's divided consciousness shared the memories left in Pan-Universal and learned about their use of his divided consciousness to harvest bodies in other universes. He couldn't be bothered to expose them and re-entered the accompanying universe.

Compared to accumulating Keywords and skills, the Governor and others arranging a backup plan for themselves was insignificant.

His main body had already escaped the control of Pan-Universal civilization, and Du Ge's divided consciousness was prepared to abandon some of his divided consciousnesses. He had already guessed Pan-Universal civilization's plan to use the bodies created by his divided consciousness for a massive migration.

Once they migrated into the multiverse, he and his main body would have plenty of opportunities to deal with them...

...

The second deployment had similar results to the first, taking just over three days for Du Ge's divided consciousness to successfully awaken all the skills. Then, all the divided consciousnesses were perfectly summoned back.

With two successful experiences, the Governor and others, seeing the increasing number of skills, finally let down their guard and infused Du Ge's divided consciousness with nine trillion in mental power, rounding it up, allowing him to split into a thousand divided consciousnesses for body possession.

Of course.

They didn't completely trust Du Ge's divided consciousness.

But Du Ge's main body had already begun researching how to break through the universe's barriers. His method was simple, using brute force to shake the barriers.

Seeing Du Ge's main body punch after punch, causing the universe's barriers to tremble, the Governor and others were anxious.

They had no choice but to take the risk of increasing Du Ge's divided consciousness's mental power to quickly boost the number of elite warriors with multiple skills.

Logically, two hundred elite warriors, each with over twenty skills, shouldn't be panicking when facing Du Ge.

But Du Ge had created too many miracles, and the Governor and others didn't want to gamble. They wanted to suppress Du Ge with absolute numbers and completely defeat him.

Moreover, they had already planned that after Du Ge's divided consciousness awakened skills in a thousand bodies, they wouldn't allow him to conduct a fourth deployment until they defeated Du Ge's main body.

Du Ge could break through the universe's barriers at any time, and they wanted to prevent the divided consciousness and the main body from being in the same universe, stopping Du Ge's divided consciousness from being reclaimed by the main body...

Now, Du Ge's divided consciousness had been infused with ten trillion in mental power, about one-thirtieth of Pan-Universal civilization's stock.

If it returned to Du Ge, even if they eventually defeated him, they could never recover the dissipated mental power.

But with Du Ge's divided consciousness, there was still a chance to reclaim the mental power.

They were racing against time with Du Ge's main body.

As soon as the main body showed signs of breaking through the universe's barriers, they would summon the divided consciousness back immediately, regardless of how many skills it had awakened.

At this moment.

The managers stationed on various native planets were also returning, with Bai Long from Qi Yuan Star bringing back Du Ge's body, along with the Dao Ancestor, Immortal Emperor, and others who had possessed Alien Star warriors, as well as Du Ge's friends Gao Ming, Yin Erchuan, Yu Xia, and his lovers Liang Fei and Liang Le.

They couldn't afford to be careless in the war against Du Ge, and they wanted to keep every trump card in their hands.

To deal with Du Ge, the high-levels of Pan-Universal civilization even gathered Janice, Moon God, Luo Shuang, the imperial teacher, little junior sister, eldest senior brother, Leen, Reg, and others who were close to Du Ge, whether on the Alien Star Battlefield or in the Simulation Field, to use them as hostages in case of failure.

Du Ge's main body was already out of control, but his divided consciousness was in their hands.

Without the main body, Du Ge's divided consciousness had no choice but to cooperate with them.

Pan-Universal Entertainment had placed all its bets on Du Ge's divided consciousness.

...

Boom!

Du Ge punched the void of the universe.

The space around him shook, cracks appeared in the void, then quickly vanished as if nothing had happened.

Du Ge stood still, quietly contemplating for a moment before throwing a second punch.

The second punch was much slower than the first, but as his fist moved, space shattered, and visible ripples spread into the depths of the void, like a stone thrown into water.

However, the universe's barriers quickly restored themselves after being shattered by Du Ge.

Du Ge fell into deep thought again.

Behind him stood the Zorn God King, Celestial God King, and various God Kings. They looked at Du Ge with admiration and awe.

Du Ge had been in their world for only a few months and already possessed the divine power to shatter space. Compared to him, they felt they had wasted hundreds of thousands of years.

Every punch Du Ge threw at the universe's barriers was broadcast live on the Star Network.

Civilizations across the universe watched their Supreme God break through space barriers, offering blessings and prayers for their protector...

Since Du Ge defeated Pan-Universal Entertainment last time, his prestige in the universe had reached its peak. Regardless of gender, everyone became his loyal follower, willing to contribute their strength to the Supreme God.

Du Ge chose to livestream breaking the space barriers to absorb the Power of Faith and enhance the persuasion of the Heavenly Mandate.

After all.

Seeing his power would make everyone worship him even more.

Moreover, Du Ge's reason for breaking the space barriers was to directly attack Pan-Universal's headquarters, eliminating the hidden threat to his subjects.

Under such a righteous cause, the people who had witnessed Pan-Universal Entertainment's cruelty hoped their Supreme God would break the space barriers.

Du Ge possessed the skill of Chaos Source, making restoring order in a chaotic universe much easier.

But he achieved it himself.

Du Ge single-handedly restored order to the chaotic universe, uniting it as one.

With the Power of Faith supporting the Heavenly Mandate, Du Ge's strength grew daily, and his understanding of the universe's truths deepened.

Many principles he previously didn't understand became clearer, as if the fog in his heart gradually lifted.

The entire world became clearer in his eyes.

The Zorn God Clan needed the Seed of Humanity to awaken abilities, but Du Ge could easily grant abilities to an ordinary person, even stripping or transferring abilities...

He was no longer limited to Sun God power, Dark God power, or the Power of Poseidon. He could switch divine powers to any type he desired, even switching the domains he comprehended.

The Celestial God Clan's natural-born gods, even if they awakened domains, would be naturally suppressed by his divine power.

He had granted himself the ability to dominate all gods in the Heavenly Mandate, but now, Du Ge felt he had comprehended those powers on his own.

Of course.

It might truly be the Heavenly Mandate taking effect, but it no longer mattered because Du Ge felt he had found his own path.

A path that didn't rely on any external force.

His personal interface still hovered before him, with his mental power value exceeding ten trillion.

It was a terrifying number, but Du Ge no longer cared.

Compared to a few days ago, his personal interface was becoming increasingly blurred.

This indicated that Pan-Universal Entertainment's control over him was weakening, and Du Ge awaited the day when his personal interface would disappear.

He chose this moment to forcefully break the universe's barriers due to a strong intuition.

He felt it was the best time to break the barriers, similar to the unease he felt when he refused the Underworld Emperor's offer of an official position.

A voice seemed to tell him that breaking the universe's barriers would bring great benefits, and missing this opportunity would lead to disaster.

It felt as if he had gained the ability to avoid misfortune, with intuition naturally providing him with answers.

One punch.

Two punches.

After each punch, Du Ge would pause to reflect on any issues with the punch, considering the best force or angle to use...

His brain functioned like a precise instrument, gradually correcting errors and ultimately guiding him to the right path.

Unlike when he risked damaging his meridians to create a cultivation technique, Du Ge was now truly comprehending and creating, closing the gap with the Dao Ancestor and other cultivation geniuses.

Or perhaps he had already surpassed the Dao Ancestor and other prodigies...

...

Pan-Universal Headquarters.

"Have the calculations been made? How long will it take for Du Ge to break through the universe's barriers?"

Governor Jia Ge occupied Du Ge's body on Qi Yuan Star.

This body had nineteen skills. Although not as robust as his original body, having nineteen skills gave him a sense of security.

Unfortunately, this body lacked Keywords, making its growth slow.

Jia Ge was only temporarily using it, planning to deploy it once Du Ge's divided consciousness honed a stronger body on the Alien Star Battlefield.

...

Du Ge's divided consciousness hadn't lost control, and the number of elite warrior bodies with multiple skills and Keywords was growing. His divided consciousness secretly deployed to another universe was also progressing steadily...

Everything seemed to be moving in the best direction.

But now, watching Du Ge's every punch improve, the Governor felt inexplicably anxious, sensing something important had been overlooked.

Yet he couldn't identify what he had missed.

The same twenty-one skills in Du Ge's hands and those of his elite warriors seemed worlds apart.

The difference wasn't just in mental power but resembled the disparity between the same Keyword in Du Ge's hands and those of other Alien Star warriors...

"Governor, according to the intelligent brain's calculations, Du Ge should break through the universe's barriers in four days, possibly sooner," said the chief technical officer of the intelligent brain technology team, Pang Da. "Perhaps we should prepare for battle in advance."

"..." The Governor was about to speak.

Shen Long suddenly trembled and said, "Jia Ge, have you considered the possibility that if Du Ge's divided consciousness concentrates all his divided consciousnesses on the Alien Star Battlefield, he might create a super expert with over two thousand Keywords..."

The words fell into silence at Pan-Universal Entertainment headquarters.
