World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 518: Du Ge is an expert at snowballing

Oooh!

Is there really someone who doesn't get it?

Du Ge glanced sideways at the wealthy young master, his eyes full of mockery.

The day he arrived in Fancheng, the locals had already labeled the Alien Star warriors as demons. The celestial realm and the underworld, along with the human world, launched a focused attack and cleanup against them.

Two days ago.

Fancheng indeed issued a notice, announcing the characteristics of the Alien Star warriors. If anyone discovered a demon and reported it accurately, they would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver.

So.

The characteristics of the Alien Star warriors were no secret in this world.

But was it appropriate to reveal them now?

This was telling everyone that both sides must fight to the death!

……

Fools!

Many people cursed out loud, then ran even faster, each one wishing their parents had given them two more legs.

After all.

They weren't so afraid of ordinary bandits; once they escaped the courtyard, bodyguards and guards would take care of them.

But demons had supernatural powers, and having their identity exposed, the demon would have to kill everyone to protect themselves.

Even the path for negotiation and begging for mercy was cut off by that fool...

"Since you know who I am, then stay and play with me!" Du Ge let out a strange giggle, taking advantage of his small size and agility, weaving through the crowd.

Those he touched were either seriously injured or crippled.

Killing only increased his attributes once.

If they didn't die immediately, his ferocious attributes could increase for a while longer.

Those who couldn't move easily could delay the bodyguards and guards from encircling him.

Most people in this world practiced martial arts, but Du Ge's fighting style was fierce, and he could sense attacks from all directions, making it hard to catch him. When he couldn't dodge, he would trade injury for injury, killing the enemy at the smallest cost.

Moreover, Du Ge truly mastered every keyword to the extreme.

Those he disemboweled, he would pull out their intestines with a backhand, letting out a sinister laugh, then hang the intestines around their neck...

Du Ge was as ferocious as a grim reaper, creating fear in the arena.

Even the high-ranking officials and nobles, suppressed by fear, couldn't unleash their full martial prowess, not to mention that most of their martial arts were just for show.

The arena was filled with cries and wails.

These beasts were excited to see children in cages fighting, but when it was their turn, they finally understood what pain and fear meant.

……

"Spare me, I'm willing to give all my wealth to the demon lord, just spare my life..."

"Demon lord, spare me, I promise not to reveal a thing about you!"

"Kill him, quickly kill him!"

"Do you know who I am? If you kill me, everyone in Fancheng will die..."

……

"If you knew this would happen, why did you act that way in the first place? As they say, good begets good and evil begets evil, it's not that the time hasn't come, but when it does, everything will be repaid!" Du Ge's attributes were rapidly increasing, making it easier for him to kill. After pondering for a moment, he thought he shouldn't just focus on ferocity; he should also preach when necessary.

"Evil deeds burden us with guilt and pain, only kindness can bring peace and tranquility to our hearts. If there's a next life, remember to be a good person..."

"Don't be too wicked, good and evil will eventually be repaid. Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue will bless your descendants!"

"Learn to be tolerant and understanding, don't let hatred blind you..."

……

Initially, his preaching targeted their sins.

But preaching while killing was too tiring, so later on, Du Ge just said whatever came to mind.

After all, these guys were dead anyway, what did it matter what he preached?

……

Ding Chang, who was chasing Du Ge, had bloodshot eyes.

He was the most skilled fighter in this place, and from the first exchange with Du Ge, he knew that Du Ge's martial arts were far inferior to his.

Even if the opponent was a demon, given the chance, he could defeat him in three moves.

But the opponent was slippery, always diving into the crowd of nobles, making Ding Chang hesitant. Occasionally, when he managed to strike Du Ge, the wound would heal in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, Du Ge's speed was visibly increasing. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Ding Chang feared he wouldn't be able to match him.

Thinking of this, Ding Chang was anxious, his eyes burning with rage: "Scoundrel, if you have the guts, duel me!"

Du Ge knew the gap between him and Ding Chang.

Without the influence of snowballing attributes, relying solely on killing to grow attributes was very slow. Without using supernatural power, he wasn't Ding Chang's match in the short term.

Moreover, he was in a perilous situation.

Longliu Manor was large, with several similar arenas. Due to the deafening noise, the news hadn't spread yet, but he couldn't control the situation alone, and someone had already climbed over the wall to get reinforcements.

If each arena had someone with Ding Chang's skills, he would be trapped.

And.

With such a big setup at Longliu Manor, there must be someone more skilled than Ding Chang...

But who said Alien Star warriors could only fight head-on?

Du Ge gave a sinister smile: "Ding Chang, this is your place, and I've killed so many people. You can't escape responsibility, can you? Do you think those severely injured will blame you for not protecting them?

When accountability comes, who will be the scapegoat?

The only way now is to kill me to redeem yourself. If so, why not get rid of these nuisances first?

If a few die, they'll say you were ineffective, but if they're all dead, no one will hold you accountable. Without their interference, it'll be easier to kill me, and maybe you can redeem yourself..."

The skill of corrupting others quietly activated.

The evil thoughts in Ding Chang's heart were suddenly stirred.

Indeed!

With so many nobles dead, he couldn't escape the blame for failing to protect them.

If he let the demon escape, and the manor's owner held him accountable, he'd be the first to be scapegoated...

Kill them!

Then kill the demon, and he could redeem himself!

Kill!

Redeem!

Anger rose from his heart, and evil thoughts surged, unable to be suppressed.

Slash!

Ding Chang chopped down an old man clumsily blocking his way, shouting: "Get out of the way, don't stop me from killing the scoundrel!"

"Good job, killing one is killing, killing two is also killing, kill them all, and no one will be in the way." Du Ge continued to incite with a sinister smile.

"Ding Chang, are you crazy?" The arena manager, seeing this, felt the world spinning and couldn't help but scold.

The nobles were killed by the demon, and even if a few more died, Longliu Manor could explain it away later. But if Ding Chang killed people, once it got out, he'd be held accountable, and even the manager couldn't escape blame.

How could this fool be so stupid, falling for a few words of provocation?

With Ding Chang joining in, the situation became even more chaotic.

The nobles and their guards were cut down like vegetables by the two, falling in droves.

In no time.

The crowd in the arena thinned out.

Someone looked at the crazed Ding Chang in horror, furious: "Ding Chang, are you insane? Do you know who you're killing?"

Ding Chang, eyes red with rage, was focused solely on killing Du Ge, ignoring the cries. Seeing the noise, he chopped the speaker down with a single stroke.

As Ding Chang got closer, Du Ge suddenly laughed, looking at the stunned guards behind Ding Chang: "Brothers, Ding Chang has killed the guests of Longliu Manor. If they die by my hand, it's fine, but if they die by his, it's a grave sin.

When the manor holds him accountable, you might be implicated.

The more Ding Chang kills, the greater your guilt. Aren't you going to stop him?

Are you willing to be dragged down by him? Kill him, and at least you can clear your name! My martial arts aren't high, kill Ding Chang, and with your skills, you can kill me too, redeem yourselves!"

"..." Ding Chang suddenly froze, realizing his situation, trembling with rage, "Scoundrel."

The other guards hesitated for a moment, looking between Du Ge and Ding Chang, unsure who to attack. Du Ge was a definite enemy, but Ding Chang's actions had also dragged them down!

"Fools, kill the demon first, then deal with Ding Chang," the manager said, extremely frustrated.

Du Ge was adept at exploiting loopholes, and upon hearing this, he smiled: "Ding Chang, he's already planning to deal with you, and you're still fighting for him? Why not join forces with me, kill them all, burn this damn manor, and live freely, wouldn't that be great?"

The manager's face changed drastically: "Ding Chang, don't listen to his provocation, kill him, and I'll ensure you're safe!"

"Do you believe him?" Du Ge's three words blocked the manager's plea.

"Scoundrel, scoundrel!" Ding Chang fully understood his predicament, pointing his knife at Du Ge, eyes wide with rage, trembling all over.

"Let's join forces. Now we're in the same boat, if you can't escape, neither can I." Du Ge chuckled, suddenly flashing to the young master who exposed his identity, slicing him with a knife, and pushing him towards Ding Chang.

Ding Chang, following through, killed him with a single stroke.

"See, you killed another one." Du Ge chuckled lightly, his voice seductive, "His status should be high, right? Ding Chang, killing one is a crime, slaughtering thousands makes you a hero, killing millions makes you a hero among heroes. Kill everyone in Longliu Manor, and no one will know who the killer is!"

Ding Chang trembled, his eyes flickering.

"Ding Chang, don't listen to him," the manager shouted in panic, seeing Ding Chang being swayed.

"Don't listen to me, listen to him?" Du Ge smiled, "Old man, with so many dead, you can't escape blame either. Rebel, and there's still a way out."

"You..." The manager trembled, looking around at the carnage, suddenly unable to say anything.

"Those guards whose masters are dead, are you sure you want to keep chasing me?" Du Ge, like a demon, seductively whispered to everyone present, "Kill everyone, and you're free of guilt, hide your names, and maybe your families will be treated well. But if word gets out, you won't have a good ending!"

The guards, whose masters were killed, initially didn't think much, only wanting to kill Du Ge to absolve themselves.

But now, with Du Ge pointing out the stakes, each one's actions slowed.

The skill of corrupting others nurtured their evil thoughts, and those with evil thoughts often thought of themselves first.

"Continuing to protect these scum will get you killed by me and Ding Chang. Failing to protect them will get you punished, only by killing them can you be free to fly and swim..."

Du Ge's voice was relentless, each word and sentence, under the skill's influence, struck their hearts like a bell.

"Don't listen to his seduction, kill him, and I won't blame any of you," a wounded noble on the ground screamed hysterically, "Kill him, quickly kill him, he's a demon seducing people."

"Heh!" Du Ge chuckled, looking at him, "You're so badly injured, likely crippled for life, are you really willing to let them go?"

The noble was speechless for a moment, but quickly reacted, gritting his teeth: "As long as I can kill you, the demon, I'm willing."

"Insincere." Du Ge snorted, "Ignore the advice of the old, and you'll suffer. Who's his guard? If you let him live, you'll suffer."

Before he finished speaking.

The guard beside the noble, eyes red, chopped off his head, hoarsely saying: "Young master, I cooperate with you."

With someone leading, the rest was easy.

Ding Chang, who had reached Du Ge, seemed not to see him, rushing two steps forward, stabbing a spectator who had reached the door.

The remaining guards hesitated for a moment, then followed, killing the wounded and nearby nobles.

In a blink.

The arena quieted down, leaving only guards and guards, and the trembling children in cages, no one else alive.

Outside, there was noise.

Apparently, the reinforcements had returned.

"Kill everyone, and we can live." Du Ge, having swapped for a steel knife, looked at the group of killers he had temporarily gathered in the arena, raising his arm, "With a plan, kill our way out, the more spectators we kill, the more will help us."

Ding Chang glared at him fiercely, saying nothing, leading the charge out.

Du Ge turned to the dazed manager, smiling: "Manager, are you really going to go all the way to the end?"

With this.

A dozen guards glared at the manager, some already moving towards him.

"Do I have a choice?" The manager glared at Du Ge, picking up a steel knife from the ground, gritting his teeth, "I'll kill with you, I know the secret rooms and mechanisms of Longliu Manor, with me leading, none will escape..."

"A wise man submits to circumstances." Du Ge gave him a thumbs up, smiling, "Since that's the case, why not release the kids in the cages? Those kids hate the spectators to the bone, they're our good helpers!"

Demon!

In a few words, he turned adversity into advantage, undoubtedly a demon...

The manager gave Du Ge a deep look, took the keys from his waist, and threw them into the iron cage.

The kids inside looked at Du Ge gratefully, rushed to pick up the keys, opened the cage, and rushed out, each holding a weapon, guarding around Du Ge. Some kids took the keys to open the cells, releasing more children.

Clearly.

These kids had already regarded Du Ge as their savior, their lifesaver.

Du Ge's gaze swept over their scarred bodies, calmly saying: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, all the pain others inflicted on you, you should repay them a hundredfold."

Who said ferocity couldn't snowball? These children, with hatred in their eyes, weren't they future fierce gods?

……

"Ding Chang, what's going on?"

Outside the courtyard wall.

The reinforcements had met Ding Chang and others, the leader asked.

"Brother Zhao, the scoundrel killed all the spectators in the arena, jumped over the wall and ran, I suspect he ran into the Earth Courtyard, quickly evacuate the nobles." Ding Chang glanced at the people opposite, hurriedly walking towards them, speaking as he went.

The one called Brother Zhao's expression changed, turning to look at the Earth Courtyard.

But as soon as he turned, Ding Chang's knife had already stabbed into his back.

Those following Ding Chang also launched a surprise attack on their former colleagues.

With a plan.

In the blink of an eye.

The reinforcements lay down in droves.

"Ding Chang, what are you doing?" The survivors asked in horror.

"What am I doing? Killing." Ding Chang sneered, waving his hand, "Kill, leave no one alive."

After killing the leader Zhao, he left the rest to the guards behind him.

Ding Chang led a few people, crashing into the Earth Courtyard, without a word, started slaughtering the crowd.

At this time, Du Ge also followed with the manager.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Du Ge raised the head of the young master killed by Ding Chang high, shouting: "Hou Yunfeng, the second son of the prefect is dead, the nephew-in-law of Minister Liu is also dead, everyone in Longliu Manor can't escape responsibility, if we're not careful, we'll all be buried with him, rebel, kill everyone to live, not a single person in the manor can be left..."

With the manager as an insider, Du Ge was even more adept at inciting others, and more targeted.

Hou Yunfeng, who was entangled with Ding Chang, cursing while fighting, saw the head in Du Ge's hand, suddenly shocked: "Who are you?"

"Who am I? I'm the one saving your life." Du Ge snorted, throwing the head at him.

Hou Yunfeng reflexively swung his knife to block.

Slash!

The head was split in two, brain matter splattering everywhere, the spectators in the stands screamed.

"Good for you, Hou Yunfeng, you chopped the second son's head in half, you're dead." Du Ge teased, slicing off the head of someone in front of him, then looked at the manager, "Brother Zhang, who's the richest person here?"

The manager pointed to a pot-bellied fat man.

The fat man was hastily retreating towards the courtyard gate, under the protection of guards.

Du Ge glanced that way, leaped into the air, pouncing towards him, ignoring the knives slashing at him, and despite being stabbed in the abdomen, chopped off the fat man's head.

Then.

He slashed down, splitting open his chest.

Du Ge reached in, pulled out the beating heart, and in front of all the guards, crushed it with a bang.

He let out a sinister laugh, retreating into the crowd: "Another noble guest is dead, Hou Yunfeng, do you want to take responsibility?"

Hou Yunfeng looked at the fat man killed by Du Ge, dumbfounded, a face full of despair.

Ding Chang snorted, ignoring him, instead following Du Ge, killing others in the courtyard.

He also knew that they couldn't kill everyone in Longliu Manor with just a few of them, only by dragging more people down could they hope to kill all the nobles.

Even if they couldn't kill them all, with more people around, they wouldn't be helpless when responding.

"Want to live, or die?" Du Ge, like a blood-soaked figure, suddenly appeared in front of Hou Yunfeng, "If you want to die, attack me, if you want to live, join us in killing."

With ferocity and persuasion, having killed several heavyweight figures, Du Ge's attributes and ranking soared, his skills now no weaker than Ding Chang's. Even if Hou Yunfeng attacked him, he couldn't hurt him.

Suddenly.

A dozen children, along with a dozen guards, rushed in from outside the courtyard, joining the fight with the spectators in the Earth Courtyard, quickly killing a large number of people.

"Your masters are dead, the law doesn't blame the masses, if you don't want to die, join us in killing!" Amidst the chaos, Du Ge continued to use his skill of corrupting others, not missing a chance to turn anyone into an ally.

……

Earth Courtyard, Mountain Courtyard, Water Courtyard...

Du Ge led those he had coerced, killing all the way, the more he killed, the more followers he had.

But there's no wall without a crack, he couldn't control everyone, some slipped through to report.

By the time Du Ge reached the Fire Courtyard, Longliu Manor was in chaos, with spectators and patrons fleeing everywhere.

And the manor's owner finally reacted, leading a group to rush over, blocking Du Ge outside the Fire Courtyard...
