World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 598: Appear in the image of a villain

Kou Nan's major was genetic engineering, focusing on gene splicing and DNA recombination, with a basic research direction on the genetic structure of mutants.

By studying the genes of mutants, he aimed to develop drugs and weapons to counter them, as well as gene modifications for ordinary people.

Of course.

The research projects on mutants were mainly tackled by professors. Kou Nan, whose academic performance was subpar and who was not a genius at school, was not qualified to participate.

...

Because his parents were killed by mutants, Kou Nan paid special attention to information about them.

In his memories, Du Ge found a lot of information about mutants.

Currently, the world population is over seven billion, with about ten million mutants.

Based on their abilities.

The emperor stars classified them into five levels: S, A, B, C, D.

Among them.

Sixty percent of mutants belong to level D, typically considered useless abilities, such as growing hair, scales, or horns;

Aside from some special external appearances, they are no different from ordinary people, and sometimes their mutations even weaken them; therefore, D-level mutants are usually defined as harmless.

A step higher, level C usually involves a single physical enhancement, such as increased strength or vision, accounting for about twenty percent of mutants;

Above level B, they evolve to have overall physical enhancements, either possessing super strength, super recovery, or super senses, essentially qualifying them as supermen.

However, most level B mutants have flaws in their abilities, and once these are found, the military can counter them;

Level A mutants are highly dangerous, with abilities like telekinesis, mental power, and energy control. Ordinary military forces have almost no resistance against level A mutants;

Mutants above level S are extremely rare, with perfect evolution and precise control over their abilities, possessing formidable individual combat power.

Typically, a single level S mutant can almost change the course of an entire battlefield.

Of course.

The number of mutants above level A is extremely rare, with officially registered level A mutants not exceeding a thousand.

And level S mutants, there are only four recognized:

Gordon, the speedster with super speed; James, with powerful telekinesis; Edward, who controls electromagnetic forces; and Tang Wengong, who can restructure matter;

Among the four level S mutants, only Tang Wengong belongs to the Eastern nation, while the other three are in the Brilliant Empire.

The mastermind behind several wars is Edward, the mutant leader with electromagnetic control, who founded the Superpowered Individual Alliance.

The S-level mutant friendly to humans is James, who created the Mutant Mutual Aid Association...

...

"Telekinesis? It's not telepathy?"

Du Ge went through the mutant information in his mind, shook his head with a smile, and began planning his future.

He tested his abilities; this planet had no spiritual power or yin energy, and his previous cultivation techniques were once again unusable.

The four divine powers of water, light, darkness, and electricity he mastered could still be used. These abilities were basic attribute affinities mentioned by Bai Long, and as long as these substances existed in the universe, he could use them.

Now, with over thirty billion in mental power and several divine powers, and without any low-key keywords holding him back, he naturally didn't need to be cautious or develop stealthily.

After all.

This Alien Star Battlefield was a multiverse.

Hiding on a small planet, even if he became king, would bring him no benefit.

At the very least, he needed to restart the previously stalled aerospace technology or gain the ability to traverse the universe...

He had to go out, he must go out!

He couldn't waste too much time on this planet.

Even if there was no technology to advance into the universe temporarily, attracting a civilization with such technology would suffice!

Du Ge thought to himself.

With any divine power, he should be able to earn the title of an SSS-level mutant, right?

As for the other Alien Star warriors sent to the battlefield, Du Ge didn't care.

Strike first to gain the upper hand, strike later and suffer.

His two keywords this time were quite powerful, so he planned to hone his skills and attack anyone who dared to emerge!

Without hesitation.

Du Ge didn't even bother to sort out Kou Nan's interpersonal relationships. He directly teleported above the sea and then summoned the Power of Poseidon, raising a towering wave nearly two hundred meters high.

Standing at the crest of the wave, he directed it towards the coastline.

A beam of light fell from above, bathing Du Ge in sunlight, making him appear godlike.

The sudden giant wave lifted fishing boats from the sea.

Du Ge controlled the seawater, forming several large hands that tossed the hundreds of tons of fishing boats onto the ground.

On the beach.

People at leisure scrambled in panic towards the land, their screams echoing across the entire beach...

Du Ge controlled the giant wave, stopping it at the edge of the beach, as if erecting a three-hundred-meter-high blue water wall along the coastline.

The massive shadow cast over the city, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Cars collided on the highway, and employees in office buildings silently walked to the windows, raising their phones to capture the godlike man atop the wave.

The city where Qing Teng National Defense University was located was called Bauhinia City, the second-largest city in the Brilliant Empire.

Due to the mutant situation, the security team responded swiftly.

Du Ge had controlled the wave at the shore for barely ten minutes before the security team arrived on the scene, moving against the current.

More than a dozen helicopters surrounded Du Ge, and inside the cabins.

Heavily armed soldiers aimed sniper rifles, assault rifles, and missile launchers at Du Ge.

No one dared to act rashly; the towering wave beneath Du Ge was too terrifying. Everyone feared that if he were killed, the wave would lose control and instantly engulf the entire Bauhinia City, causing irreversible damage.

"I am General Klo Brave of the Third National Defense Guard." On the helicopter directly facing Du Ge, a middle-aged man with a star on his shoulder and deep eyes looked coldly at Du Ge, shouting through a loudspeaker, "Young man, who are you?"

"General Klo, my name is Kou Nan, but you can call me the Freedom Fighter." Du Ge looked at the general opposite him, smiled slightly, and said.

"Kou Nan, what do you want? We can talk." Klo said, "Now, please stop your terrifying actions, or you will pay a heavy price for your behavior."

The towering wave Du Ge raised caused massive chaos.

His physique rapidly increased, matching his powerful mental strength, and in such a short time, his perception range could already cover most of Bauhinia City.

"General Klo, I fight for freedom." Du Ge smiled, looking at Klo, and said, "I have only one goal: to release all the mutants you have imprisoned and restore their freedom. Otherwise, the entire Bauhinia City will be flooded, and I will represent the divine to judge this world, freeing those souls trapped in flesh, allowing their souls to regain freedom..."

"Madman!" Klo's face darkened, muttering under his breath, and turned to ask his adjutant, "Haven't we contacted James yet?"

"General, James is on his way, and he asked us to stall for time." The adjutant turned the laptop towards General Klo and said, "General, we found information on Kou Nan. He's a third-year student at the National Defense University. Ten years ago, his parents were killed by mutants. He joined the National Defense University to eliminate all mutants and avenge his parents..."

"..." Klo was momentarily stunned, "Are you sure?"

"Sure." The adjutant looked at Du Ge and said, "That poor guy over there hates mutants the most, but he himself became a mutant. He must have been mentally stimulated to act so impulsively. I suspect he wants us to release those mutants so he can eliminate them himself..."

"Damn it, I hate these lunatics." Klo cursed angrily and reopened the loudspeaker, "Kou Nan, I deeply sympathize with your past experiences. I know your parents were killed by mutants.

But look at what you're doing? Look at those terrified people. Do you know what will happen if the wave you control crashes down?

Someone might lose their husband because of you, someone might lose their wife, and someone might become an orphan like you... Do you really want that to happen? You're betraying your ideals!

Kou Nan, you're still young, and you have a long road ahead. Promise me, don't let yourself be consumed by hatred, okay? Violence won't solve problems; it will only escalate conflicts..."

Appealing to emotion and reason.

Klo almost instantly found a breakthrough point in Kou Nan's past life.

If it were the previous Kou Nan, he might have been persuaded.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Kou Nan's body had already changed its core.

Du Ge wouldn't care about mutants!

All he wanted was to quickly make a name for himself and gain control of this world.

Du Ge smiled, raising his hands, and the wave lifted him another hundred meters.

As the wave rose, he clearly heard the so-called general utter a beautiful curse, and the distant crowd, who hadn't run far, cursed and cried out.

On the highway, vehicles scrambled to escape, everyone wanting to flee this city about to be flooded...

Scenes from disaster movies played out before Du Ge's eyes.

The difference was, this time, Du Ge played the role of a supervillain.

Even in such a situation, there were still fearless reporters wearing life jackets, riding helicopters to report live, broadcasting the disaster caused by the newly emerged S-level mutant...

The chaos Du Ge caused quickly spread to every corner of the world through these reporters' broadcasts.

The incident happened too suddenly.

The authorities had no time to block the news.

Moreover, the towering wave Du Ge raised was seen by millions, making it impossible to block the information.

The royal family of the Brilliant Empire ordered Klo to resolve the current disaster with the most peaceful means possible, trying not to cause any casualties.

...

"Bauhinia City witnesses the emergence of an SS-level mutant, whose controlled wave could instantly destroy a city of tens of millions."

"Rumor has it that the newly emerged mutant aims to rescue the detained leader of the Superpowered Individual Alliance, Edward, and his associates."

"A stronger mutant appears, posing an unprecedented disaster for humanity."

"The water-controlling SS-level mutant is named Kou Nan, whose parents were killed by mutants. He demands the release of imprisoned mutants, likely to seek personal revenge..."

...

In the distant East.

Inside a temple, Tang Wengong, an S-level mutant dressed in traditional attire, stared blankly at the phone screen showing the Eastern face bathed in divine light, his brows furrowed.

After a moment, he closed the live stream and dialed a number: "Arrange the fastest plane for me to Bauhinia City!"

...

The Alien Star warriors who had just arrived on the emperor stars, familiarized themselves with their keywords, and hadn't yet planned their future, were stunned by the sudden shocking news.

Those familiar with Du Ge recognized him at a glance, feeling a wave of despair, lamenting their bad luck for falling into Du Ge's hands again.

With consecutive failures on the Alien Star Battlefield, many planets faced a crisis in food reserves, forcing the Alien Star warriors to compete for rankings to ensure their civilization's survival...

But before entering the battlefield, they had no idea about the situation on the Alien Star Battlefield. After entering, the number ten thousand left them in panic, and before they could recover, they saw Du Ge wreaking havoc, leaving them in despair.

Alien Star warriors unfamiliar with Du Ge were left speechless.

Who is this guy?

A native or an Alien Star warrior?

He's way too high-profile!

...

In Sanxi City, Brilliant Empire.

An eighteen-year-old blonde girl looked at the giant wave beneath Du Ge, frowning: "The Power of Poseidon? Does this world also have a Sea God?"

Then.

She looked at her personal interface, where the keyword was "fusion."

Should she focus on developing her keyword, or go see the guy with the Power of Poseidon?

She hesitated.

But soon, she decided to check out the guy with the Power of Poseidon, as she felt the divine power he controlled seemed familiar.

Moreover, she was unsure how to handle this damned "fusion."

In the Simulation Field, she had seen many Alien Star warriors and skills derived from various keywords, but why was her keyword "fusion"?

Was she supposed to, as a dignified daughter of the Sea God, find a man to mate with?

She wasn't some sea witch seeking a wealthy suitor...

...

On the wave.

Du Ge held his phone, scrolling through all the trending topics about him, occasionally glancing at the rankings.

In such a short time, his ranking soared into the top 500 and continued to rise.

Clearly, other Alien Star warriors weren't acting as swiftly as he was.

However, all the news focused on disaster, revenge, and the most powerful mutant, without mentioning a word about his talk of freedom.

Du Ge sighed; everyone's attention had shifted!

At this moment, the military helicopters once again ascended to his level.

Klo's face was as dark as a pot's bottom: "Kou Nan, do you know what you're doing?"

"General Klo, I'm pursuing freedom." Du Ge spread his arms, gazing at the blue sky, and said loudly, "General, do you know what freedom is?"

"I don't want to hear about your freedom." Klo interrupted, "I only know that if you don't stop, you'll become the enemy of all humanity. No one wants to see an out-of-control mutant survive in this world. The only reason I'm still restraining myself and talking to you is because the wave you control can destroy Bauhinia City, and I have to be responsible for the people of the nation.

People from other countries won't have such concerns. As long as they can eliminate you, they don't care how many people die in Bauhinia City!

As far as I know, at least thirty intercontinental missiles are targeting your location. If you continue to be stubborn, everyone in Bauhinia City will die with you..."

"General Klo, have you decided to release the detained mutants, including the leader of the Superpowered Individual Alliance, Edward?" Du Ge shook his head, smiling, "Actually, I don't mind dying. Those missiles destroying my body would free my soul, and to me, that's true freedom..."

"Freedom, freedom, you're just crazy." General Klo said angrily, "You just want to kill Edward yourself, to avenge your parents, right? I agree to your terms, let the wave beneath you return to the sea, and I'll take you to kill them yourself, leaving none alive."
