World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others -
Chapter 588: Celestial Court of Changing Combat Tactics
```
The Immortal Emperor couldn't fathom the ways of Pan-Universal Entertainment, nor could he discern Du Ge's identity and origins, so he dared not rashly confront Du Ge.
Thus, although he planned to respond, he did so very passively.
But now, the Dao Ancestor had sent him twelve disciples to assist, akin to lighting a beacon in the fog, guiding his way.
At this moment, the Immortal Emperor suddenly felt a backbone of support, leaving behind the entire court of civil and military officials to personally welcome the Dao Ancestor's disciples.
The Queen Mother followed closely behind.
The entire court also gained confidence.
The Dao Ancestor was a sage of the world, having long since withdrawn from worldly affairs over a million years ago. Now that even he had stepped forward to oppose Du Ge, everything should be stable.
Even if the Underworld Emperor and the demon race united, they couldn't stir up any trouble.
Only Ning Xianping, watching the excited court officials, felt a bad premonition rising in his heart.The Dao Ancestor possessed absolute power, yet he didn't personally suppress Du Ge, instead sending twelve disciples, indicating he was leaving a way out for himself, which was not a good sign.
...
When the Immortal Emperor saw Gao Ming and the others outside the Southern Heaven Gate, he was slightly stunned. All were unfamiliar faces, their cultivation indeed at the Great Golden Immortal level, yet he sensed the same aura from them as from Ning Xianping.
Alien Star warriors?
The Dao Ancestor had sent him twelve Alien Star warriors?
If it weren't for the fact that they held the Dao Ancestor's token, the Immortal Emperor would have thought these people were Du Ge's spies.
"Duan Ze greets the Immortal Emperor."
Seeing the Immortal Emperor, Gao Ming led the group in saluting, using the names of this world. Names like Gao Ming and Feng Zhong had appeared in other Alien Star Battlefields, and he felt it necessary to distance himself from Du Ge.
"Are you Alien Star warriors?" the Immortal Emperor pondered for a moment, then asked.
"Your Majesty, the Dao Ancestor said only Alien Star warriors can deal with Du Ge." Gao Ming, using the tiger's skin as a banner, smiled and looked at the Immortal Emperor.
"Did the Dao Ancestor give you any instructions?" the Queen Mother asked.
"By any means necessary, stop Du Ge from causing chaos." Gao Ming replied.
"Do you have a plan?" the Immortal Emperor asked.
"Public opinion first, proceed step by step, using slow to counter fast." Gao Ming said.
The Immortal Emperor and the Queen Mother exchanged a glance and said, "Explain in detail."
Gao Ming said, "Your Majesty, Du Ge is known for his blitzkrieg tactics in previous Alien Star Battlefields. He excels at disrupting others' rhythms, and once he leads the pace, defeat is not far off."
The Immortal Emperor nodded in agreement, signaling Gao Ming to continue. This time, he had been caught off guard by Du Ge, not even realizing the human world and underworld were already in chaos.
"Your Majesty, after analyzing, we found Du Ge's keywords are related to illusion and reality." Gao Ming said, "In previous Alien Star Battlefields, similar keywords have produced skills like 'Three Men Make a Tiger' and 'Creating Something from Nothing,' which align with Du Ge's current style."
"What is 'Three Men Make a Tiger'?" the Immortal Emperor asked.
"In short, it's about repeating a falsehood until it's believed to be true, no matter how absurd, creating a real scenario." Gao Ming looked at the Immortal Emperor and said, "For example, the Human Emperor's legacy, or the Twilight Tribulation..."
He carefully observed the Immortal Emperor's expression, but the Immortal Emperor controlled his expression perfectly, showing no reaction upon hearing about the Twilight Tribulation.
"How to break it?" the Immortal Emperor asked.
"First, expose the lie, awaken those deceived, and the spell will break itself; second, kill Du Ge, and with the death of the skill's maintainer, the skill will dissipate." Gao Ming smiled.
"What about 'Creating Something from Nothing'?" the Immortal Emperor asked.
"Creating Something from Nothing means all things become facts, even if Du Ge is killed, the established facts won't change." Gao Ming's gaze never left the Immortal Emperor, and at that moment, he finally captured a micro-expression, confirming that the Twilight Tribulation had already come true.
"Is there a way to break it?" the Immortal Emperor pursued.
"Unless Du Ge overturns himself, restoring the original, or another keyword awakens a skill to counteract 'Creating Something from Nothing.'" Gao Ming said, "Otherwise, there should be no other solution."
"Then first ascertain Du Ge's skill characteristics before responding." Unable to discern Du Ge's keywords, the Immortal Emperor chose a cautious approach. He looked at Gao Ming and asked, "Lord Duan, what is your keyword?"
"Your Majesty, my keyword is imbalance." Gao Ming replied.
"Have you awakened any skills?" the Immortal Emperor asked.
"I have." Gao Ming paused for a moment and said.
"Tell me about them." The Immortal Emperor said. Having learned about the application of keywords and witnessed Ning Xianping's two skills related to pulling, he wasn't very optimistic about the so-called keywords and skills, as the skills had too many drawbacks.
"One of the skills is called 'I'm the Most Swinging.' Within my line of sight, no one can maintain their balance." Gao Ming said, somewhat lacking confidence.
When he met the Dao Ancestor, he awakened this skill and used it on the Dao Ancestor, but the Dao Ancestor withstood it.
"Use it on me and the Holy Mother." The Immortal Emperor saw Gao Ming's lack of confidence and smiled.
Gao Ming looked towards the Immortal Emperor and activated the skill.
Outside the Southern Heaven Gate, besides the Immortal Emperor and the Queen Mother, there were also many celestial soldiers and generals on duty.
The moment the skill was activated.
Within Gao Ming's line of sight, everyone felt the world spinning, as if drunk, unable to stand steadily no matter how hard they tried, unable to control themselves.
The Immortal Emperor and the Queen Mother were the same, but being quasi-saint level powerhouses, even though their bodies couldn't stop shaking, they could always make an opposite response immediately, appearing steady and unmoving despite the turmoil inside.
This was the ultimate control of the body by quasi-saints, which, to some extent, could be considered as counteracting the skill's effect.
An annoying skill!
The Immortal Emperor resisted the urge to eliminate Gao Ming with a casual strike and said, "That's enough. What's the other skill?"
Gao Ming stopped the 'Most Swinging' skill and said, "The rich get richer, the poor get poorer."
"What does this skill mean?" the Immortal Emperor asked.
"Between two parties with a power disparity, I can forcibly transfer the weaker's power to the stronger." Gao Ming said calmly, without blinking.
As he spoke.
He looked at the Jade Emperor, then at a celestial general who had just regained his balance, and activated the skill.
In an instant.
The celestial general's face turned as pale as paper, and in a short while, his level fell from Heavenly Immortal to True Immortal. He asked in panic, "What... what did you do?"
"Don't panic, I was just demonstrating the skill's effect to the Immortal Emperor." Gao Ming stopped the skill and smiled.
At the same time, he felt grateful for the inspiration Du Ge had given him.
Indeed, when anything is related to economics, it produces astonishing effects.
The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, a divine skill indeed. As long as he applies it to himself, even without the Dao Ancestor's involvement, he could eventually become a powerful figure.
However, such a skill, if misused, could make him a demon hunted by everyone!
Moreover, the skill had drawbacks; if the power difference wasn't estimated correctly, it could backfire, transferring his power to others...
The other celestial soldiers and generals turned pale, looking at Gao Ming in horror. How could such an evil technique exist?
Forcibly taking the weaker's power for the stronger, how was this different from the Blood Ancestor?
Feeling the increase in his power, the Immortal Emperor was momentarily stunned and said to Gao Ming, "This method harms the natural order, use it sparingly!"
Gao Ming's second skill made the Immortal Emperor much more cautious. Using this skill to feed himself, it wouldn't be long before he could turn the world upside down.
Alien Star warriors were indeed chaotic demons.
"Your Majesty, skills are neither righteous nor evil; they are righteous if used righteously, evil if used evilly." Gao Ming said, "My skills will only be used on enemies."
"Very well." The Immortal Emperor nodded and handed a bottle of pills to the celestial general who had just lost power, compensating for his loss.
He was now even more uncertain about the Dao Ancestor's intentions in sending these people.
"What about your keywords?" The Immortal Emperor looked at Yin Erchuan and the others.
"My keyword is 'intercept.'" Yin Erchuan said.
"Tolerance." Yu Xia said.
"Deep affection." Zhang Desheng said.
"Harvest." Feng Chang said.
"Hate." "Steps." "Fear." "Marvel." "Redemption." "Awakening." "Harshness."
Everyone reported their keywords.
The Immortal Emperor's mind quickly flashed through the uses of these keywords, deducing that if these keywords were fully realized in actions and words, they could turn any normal person into a madman!
However, the keywords of the Dao Ancestor's twelve disciples were much better than Ning Xianping's "pull."
Of course, it might also be that Ning Xianping used "pull" in the wrong context.
"What are your skills?" The Immortal Emperor asked, Gao Ming's second skill had made him wary, instinctively wanting to know the skills of these people.
"Your Majesty, walls have ears." Gao Ming smiled, looking at the celestial soldiers and generals outside the Southern Heaven Gate, and said, "Our skills can have unexpected effects on the battlefield, but if overheard and countered, their effectiveness would be greatly reduced."
The Immortal Emperor's expression changed slightly.
"Your Majesty, we can tell you our skills privately." Yin Erchuan smiled.
The Immortal Emperor nodded.
In the next moment, a white space enveloped everyone inside.
"Now you can speak." The Immortal Emperor said, "This space isolates everything, no one but the Dao Ancestor can spy in."
"Your Majesty, one of my skills is 'quote out of context.'" Yin Erchuan looked at the Immortal Emperor and said, "I can extract fragments from any explanatory text, presenting new meanings to the world, making people firmly believe them."
"Anything else?"
"The second skill is 'cut off abruptly.'" Yin Erchuan said, "I can forcibly interrupt anyone's speech, making them unable to continue."
The Immortal Emperor frowned slightly and said, "These two skills seem a bit useless."
Useless?
These two skills are Du Ge's nemesis!
Yin Erchuan smiled and didn't explain.
"Your Majesty, my skill is 'embrace all rivers.'" Yu Xia said, "I can forcibly reconcile two people filled with hatred."
"The second skill is 'repay evil with good.' When I forgive an enemy, I gain the favor of everyone present..."
...
Everyone explained their skills to the Immortal Emperor and the Queen Mother one by one.
Some skills were simple and unadorned, while others sounded quite extraordinary, capable of turning someone into a demon.
Listening to them made the Immortal Emperor's heart race, wishing he could eliminate all the Alien Star warriors to prevent future troubles.
What terrified him even more was the Pan-Universal Entertainment Company behind these Alien Star warriors. Gao Ming and the others' skills finally raised his awareness. If this company, which toyed with the laws at will, truly invaded his world on a large scale, could they really handle it?
Did the Dao Ancestor take twelve Alien Star warriors as disciples and send them here to gradually understand the foundation of Pan-Universal Entertainment?
The Immortal Emperor fell into deep thought.
"Now that we've told Your Majesty all our skills, please ensure they are not leaked to others." Seeing the somewhat absent-minded Immortal Emperor, Gao Ming reminded.
"I understand." The Immortal Emperor replied.
"Your Majesty, only Alien Star warriors can deal with Alien Star warriors." Gao Ming stepped forward and said solemnly, "Though we are taken as disciples by the Dao Ancestor and forcibly elevated to Great Golden Immortal, Du Ge is not an easy opponent.
We are only twelve, but there are over five hundred Alien Star warriors in the human world, with various keywords and unknown skills. I request the Jade Emperor to let me command the three armies, fully responsible for countering Du Ge."
"Granted, I appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Celestial Army, in charge of the campaign against the Human Race Alliance, with authority over all forces below the Celestial Venerable."
The Immortal Emperor agreed without hesitation.
He had originally planned to lead the army himself, but after witnessing the abilities of Gao Ming and the others, he suddenly decided to watch from the sidelines. Only by observing could he understand the true intentions of Du Ge, Pan-Universal Entertainment, or the Dao Ancestor.
Moreover, he had been stuck at the quasi-saint level for a long time.
Perhaps, as Du Ge mentioned in the Human Race Daily, Alien Star warriors might be their opportunity for a breakthrough.
...
"The Dao Ancestor's twelve disciples stationed in the celestial court, with the chief disciple Duan Ze as the Grand Marshal of the Celestial Army."
"Three million celestial soldiers mobilized, each led by one of the Dao Ancestor's twelve disciples, with the second disciple Zhang Desheng as the Tiger Might General, and the third disciple Feng Chang as the Dragon Might General..."
"The Human Emperor is a chaotic demon, using supernatural powers to alter history and steal the fortune of the human race."
"The Xuanyuan clan, under the guise of the Human Emperor, intends to sever the human race's millennia-old foundation, with the celestial court restoring order, calling on human scholars to cease cultivating Literary Heart and Martial Courage."
"The Human Emperor colludes with the Taixuan Emperor, using the human race as blood food to nourish the Blood Demon."
"The Taixuan and Donghua Emperors testify that the Xuanyuan clan also practiced blood magic."
...
The celestial court's army of millions descended upon the Central Extreme Continent.
In the sky.
A Jianmu tree loomed, enveloping the celestial court's army, severing the Central Extreme Continent's connection with the other four continents.
However.
The celestial court's army did not attack the three-race alliance of the Central Extreme Continent but instead launched the first wave of public opinion offensive using the Central Extreme Continent's Human Race Daily.
The revised daily was not transmitted through yin deities but scattered like snowflakes, falling into every human town in the Central Extreme Continent.
At the same time.
A Celestial Venerable took advantage of the human race alliance's unpreparedness, infiltrating and forcibly abducting many Alien Star warriors into the celestial court.
