World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 599: Let's fight for freedom

General Klo was so startled by the nearly 500-meter-high wave that he forgot there were reporters broadcasting their situation live.

Or rather, he simply didn't care about those detained anti-human mutants.

As long as he could appease Kou Nan, it didn't matter if all those mutants were killed.

After all, those guys deserved to die.

Kou Nan's displayed strength had already surpassed James, who possessed telekinesis.

Moreover, with the experience of having his parents killed by mutants, winning him over would make him the ultimate weapon for the Brilliant Empire to dominate the world.

A young man in his early twenties, it was all too easy to instill some ideas into his mind.

...

Edward was captured, and the mutants of the Superpowered Individual Alliance were trying every means to rescue their leader, but they were clueless, not even knowing where Edward was being held.

When a water-element superpowered individual suddenly appeared in Bauhinia City, it gave them hope. Especially since the person demanded the official release of the detained mutants, which greatly boosted the spirits of the Superpowered Individual Alliance.

Using the tens of millions of citizens in Bauhinia City as hostages, there was no worry that the Brilliant Empire's officials wouldn't release Edward.

Moreover, with such a powerful individual joining the Superpowered Individual Alliance and joining forces with Edward, world domination was within reach.

Led by Angel Arnold and Speedster Harold, the mutants of the Superpowered Individual Alliance quickly mobilized to support Kou Nan in Bauhinia City.

That young kid's abilities were indeed formidable.

But he was too young, unaware of the world's dangers, and the cunning officials had countless insidious ways to plot against him.

Not to mention, there was also an S-class mutant, James, who was aligned with the human united front.

He was too impulsive!

Just hold on a little longer, wait a bit more, until they arrived, and together they could surely rescue their captured leader and comrades...

This was the heartfelt wish of every member of the Superpowered Individual Alliance.

But soon, General Klo's angry promise was transmitted through the reporters' cameras to the ears of every member of the Superpowered Individual Alliance.

Then.

All the mutants were dumbfounded.

"He wants Edward released so he can kill him himself?" Fire Controller Beasley stammered, "But he's a mutant too!"

"Mutants killed his parents," Singer Sean said, scrolling through his phone, "So, he hates every mutant."

"But he himself has become a mutant. By doing this, he'll offend both humans and mutants..." Gun King Joseph said.

But soon, Du Ge's words once again restored the confidence of the Superpowered Individual Alliance members.

...

"General Klo, who told you I want to kill them?" Du Ge smiled at Klo, shaking his head.

"Then what do you want to do?" Klo asked, frowning.

"I simply want to help them regain their freedom," Du Ge said with a serene smile, the sunlight on his face making him look like a god descended to earth. "In my dreams, I heard the oracle of the Statue of Liberty.

She told me that no one should be constrained, whether in body or mind, and that freedom is the right and value of every living being..."

"Nonsense!" Klo angrily interrupted Du Ge, "If you're truly for freedom, why don't you think about releasing the human criminals in prison, but specifically demand the release of mutants?"

Heavens!

Finally, the topic circled back!

Chaos was constantly enhancing Du Ge's attributes, but he wasn't satisfied with a single enhancement; Du Ge always wanted double.

He looked at Klo with satisfaction, his eyes filled with surprise: "Can I? Can we really release everyone in prison? If we can, that would be even better..."

"..." Klo was stunned for a moment, suddenly realizing that Kou Nan in front of him might have been too deeply affected, his mind disturbed. He picked up a megaphone, "Kou Nan, calm down, maybe we can talk about the Statue of Liberty."

Negotiating with a madman would never yield results, and he had to find a way to stall for time.

Waiting for a psychologist or a mutant who could control the situation to arrive was the only way to resolve this dire situation.

Du Ge knew Klo was stalling for time, and he was happy to let him do so.

The longer the delay, the stronger his power would become, and he could openly promote the concept of freedom.

With the keyword of chaos, following the usual steps would hinder his growth.

"Klo, do you know? Beyond our civilization, there are countless others, more advanced than ours, with gods ruling the entire universe."

Du Ge gazed at the sky, ignoring the soldiers and weapons around him, "Yet here we are, on this tiny planet, fighting over trivial interests, in constant warfare and death.

Workers in factories dedicate their lives to capitalists, farmers in fields imprison their bodies and souls day after day...

Many have forgotten what freedom feels like.

Is not being controlled by others freedom? Is getting close to nature and breathing fresh air freedom?

No.

These are not true freedom. True freedom is following one's heart, self-governance, being undefined.

Freedom is an unparalleled power, igniting our passion, inspiring our creativity, driving us to explore unknown realms..."

...

"No, you're wrong."

A voice suddenly sounded beside Du Ge.

The speaker was a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed in a neat suit, with a handsome face, hair meticulously groomed, and eyes full of wisdom. He floated in the air, looking like a sage.

Beside him was a silver-haired girl, also floating in the air, with a vortex of air supporting her body beneath her feet.

In the water beneath Du Ge, there were also two young men, one with gills on his face, the other with a sickly white complexion.

The two were wrestling with the massive wave beneath Du Ge's feet, the gilled young man trying to push the wave back into the sea;

The albino-like youth used his power to freeze the entire wave into an ice block...

But their powers were too weak, and against the formidable Power of Poseidon, their efforts were like ants trying to shake a tree;

Meanwhile.

Du Ge sensed a figure rapidly approaching within Bauhinia City.

In a flash, the figure was already standing on the shore.

It was another young man in his early twenties, with brown hair, wearing a tight-fitting suit emblazoned with a flashy lightning bolt.

The super-speedster Gordon—the Flash of this world!

Du Ge immediately identified him.

At this moment.

Gordon stood on the shore, looking at Du Ge from afar.

...

Look.

They're all coming out one by one!

A smile curved at the corner of Du Ge's mouth. Going door to door to find them couldn't compare to casting a net and waiting for them to take the bait.

"James, you finally arrived." General Klo saw the newcomer and breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll leave this madman to you."

James ignored him, instead looking at Du Ge with gentle eyes, as if his gaze held a magical power: "Child, you're too tense, relax. I know you've seen the Statue of Liberty, but your understanding of freedom might be wrong."

Telekinesis wasn't mind control, so was James using hypnosis?

Alright!

Without high mental power, one couldn't use telekinesis, but who gave him the confidence to hypnotize a world ruler with over thirty billion mental power?

Du Ge blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Freedom isn't doing whatever you want; it's self-governance under rational restraint, it's self-discipline. Only the freedom that comes from self-discipline can truly allow you to control your abilities."

James didn't realize his mental power hadn't affected Du Ge, continuing in a soothing tone, "Child, your abilities are strong. But what you're doing now is harming more people. Relax, don't let the tragedy that happened to your parents repeat.

Let me teach you how to use your power, what true freedom is..."

"James, you can't even control your own life, and you want to teach me about freedom?" Du Ge shook his head, breaking free from James's telekinesis, and smiled, "Why not follow me? I'll show you the real world, and together we'll create a world without war, only peace, where everyone can live as they wish, a truly free world."

"..." James's face changed drastically, a trickle of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Du Ge in shock, "You... how can you have such powerful mental power?"

"Because this is the power of the gods." Du Ge looked at him with a smile, suddenly waving his hand, a transparent ice block froze beside him.

At the center of the ice block was the shape of a complete human.

"Sis." The silver-haired girl beside James exclaimed, then a storm formed in her hand, and she looked at Du Ge angrily, "Let go of Sis."

A naked boy was revealed inside the ice block.

His face turned red, looking at Du Ge outside the ice block in pain, his expression becoming more and more distorted due to suffocation.

Invisible Man, Du Ge had sensed him the moment he appeared.

His body could indeed refract light, and he tried to suppress his heartbeat, but he couldn't hide his body temperature and breathing.

This kind of invisibility ability was far inferior to the stealth of the keyword;

Most importantly, he couldn't even wear clothes, what kind of perversion was this?

"Are you sure you want to attack me?" Du Ge looked at the silver-haired girl and smiled, "Once I release control of the seawater, you'll be the murderer of the entire Bauhinia City, those two little guys below can't possibly stop such a massive tsunami."

"..." The silver-haired girl's face turned red, looking at James in a panic, unable to bear the guilt of killing millions.

But she couldn't leave her companion frozen by Du Ge.

She was caught in a dilemma.

...

Indeed.

Only as a villain can one do as they please!

What morality?

What conscience?

They're all stumbling blocks to rising up!

Du Ge chuckled, "What's your name?"

"Aili," the silver-haired girl said.

"Follow me, there's no future with James, you don't even dare to do what you want." Du Ge looked at her with pity, "The restrictions he imposes on you will only get you all killed, preventing you from advancing further."

"Kou Nan..." James could no longer remain calm, shouting, "This is recklessness, not freedom. Your actions will make everyone hate mutants, destroying their chance of survival."

Du Ge ignored him, continuing to look at the silver-haired girl, "You have one minute to save your little friend. Join me, and I'll release him, and I won't unleash the seawater beneath my feet..."

"I..." The silver-haired girl showed a struggling expression, looking at Du Ge, then at James, unable to make a decision.

"He's already suffocating, what are you hesitating for? Wait until he dies, then blame me, thinking I killed him, and comfortably seek revenge on me, finally forgiving your own cowardice?" Du Ge looked at the silver-haired girl in confusion, frowning, "Why are you looking at that old man, don't you have even a little bit of freedom to be your own master?"

"..." The silver-haired girl was caught in a dilemma.

"He can hold on for at most 15 seconds." Du Ge looked at the naked person trapped in the ice block and reminded, "If you don't decide, you'll be the one who killed him, and you won't have any reason to seek revenge on me."

"Fine, I'll join you." The silver-haired girl closed her eyes in pain and shouted, "Let him go."

Splash!

The ice block encasing the naked person instantly turned into water, and the boy exclaimed, falling into the sea, gasping for air.

He could walk on air because of James's telekinesis holding him up, but once frozen, James retracted his telekinesis.

As the ice melted, he naturally fell into the sea.

"Congratulations, Aili, you've broken through yourself and found a sliver of freedom in your heart." Du Ge looked at Aili with a smile, "Come over, stand by my side, forget those dogmas, free your mind, be a free person."

The silver-haired girl Aili looked at Du Ge in confusion, then at the surviving naked person, and finally at the stunned James, biting her lip, she resolutely stood by Du Ge's side.

"Little guy, what about you, are you willing to follow me?" Du Ge looked at the panting naked person on the water and asked with a smile, "You don't wear a stitch of clothing, you're a pioneer in pursuing freedom and releasing your nature, more suited to follow the Statue of Liberty!"

"I am willing." The naked boy nodded quickly, having been scared out of his wits by the near-death experience, he dared not oppose Du Ge.

"James, do you see? Your path is wrong. If humans really start a massacre against mutants in the future, you won't be able to protect them." Du Ge smiled, looking at James with pity, "Follow me, I'll guide you on how to make mutants and humans coexist harmoniously, let's fight for freedom."

"No, you're a demon, I won't join forces with you..." James shook his head, his eyes bloodshot, "Besides, I'll stop you from flooding Bauhinia City with seawater!"

"What will you use to stop me? That guy running on the sea?" Du Ge pointed to the sea not far away.

Gordon's legs were frozen on the sea surface, his face flushed red.

Looking closely, there was a trail of floating ice behind him, covered with footprints he had made...

His speed was indeed fast, but Du Ge had been focusing on him, even splitting a bit of Dark God power into his shadow.

The moment he moved, the Dark God power captured his position, then froze it, turning the speedster Gordon into Du Ge's captive...

James was dumbfounded.
