World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 604: Pulling up seedlings to help them grow

"Adnan."

"Siriaco!"

"Eddie!"

"Oh my God, what happened?"

"How did he do it?"

"He's faster than Gordon..."

"Could Kou Nan really be a deity?"

"The world is truly going mad..."

Everything unfolded right before the people's eyes.

When one familiar face after another, often seen on TV, was hung upside down, the entire world descended into chaos.

This was far more shocking than the earlier tsunami that submerged Bauhinia City.

After all, watching Bauhinia City flood on TV felt no different from a special effects movie; without being there, it didn't feel as impactful.

But this time, they watched as those who held the lifeblood of the emperor stars were captured in an instant and hung upside down.

Even a ten-year-old knew what it meant for these people to be captured.

Those who doubted Kou Nan's ability to establish the Federation of Emperor Stars fell silent, underestimating the power of a god.

No matter how advanced the weapon, it was useless against such an unreasonable combat style.

They couldn't even achieve mutual destruction; Kou Nan proved with ironclad facts that he could fly around the world in an instant, and in a mutual destruction scenario, only they would die...

Do as you please.

Chaos is so delightful, everything aligns with the keywords...

In previous battles on the Alien Star Battlefield, Du Ge had to calculate and strategize using keywords, slowly building momentum.

But on this Alien Star Battlefield, he himself was a massive snowball, rolling over everything without reason.

Du Ge finally experienced the thrill of Pan-Universal Entertainment.

When there's a disparity in strength, there's no need to consider others' opinions...

At first, the captured leaders of the emperor stars cursed loudly;

Some tried to reason with Du Ge, persuading him with world peace and the safety of billions.

As Du Ge kidnapped more people, all discordant voices vanished, leaving only fear and helplessness.

Everyone understood why Richard Wood decisively joined the Federation.

Kou Nan was an unsolvable existence.

The so-called video conference was merely a formality, or rather, Kou Nan's stage.

From the moment they decided to hold a video conference, they were like fish on his chopping block, and he used this method to establish his absolute authority before the entire world.

Conspiracies, strategies, character weaknesses... were all nonsense; if Kou Nan wanted to turn hostile, no one could bear the consequences.

In the end.

All the leaders of the emperor stars gathered together, unable to refuse Du Ge's invitation.

The entire conference room was decorated like a fountain, spectacular and beautiful.

Edward, Gordon, James, and other mutants stood silently on the side.

Whether they hated humans or were friendly towards them, no one could speak at this moment; compared to Du Ge, their actions were child's play.

At this moment, all the mutants developed a strong desire for power...

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is here, so we can now revisit the establishment of the Federation of Emperor Stars." Du Ge stood in front of the camera again, smiling as if he had just done something trivial, "Those present can almost represent the entire emperor stars. Does anyone oppose the formation of the Federation?"

No one spoke.

"If anyone opposes, raise your hand." Du Ge glanced around and continued.

Janice cooperated seamlessly, controlling the water to release their hands.

Still, no one raised their hand.

Courage and integrity can be displayed when there's hope, but now the future is bleak, and forcibly showing courage is no different from stupidity.

"Since no one opposes, I hereby declare that the Federation of Emperor Stars is established from today." Du Ge smiled, snapped his fingers, and the water binding them transformed into chairs, gently lowering them to the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know establishing the Federation of Emperor Stars in this manner makes you uncomfortable and violates your right to free choice." Du Ge looked at the silent crowd and said, "But this is precisely the truth I want to convey to you.

To achieve true freedom, one must have sufficiently strong power. Otherwise, so-called freedom is illusory, a farce. Your fate can only be manipulated by others..."

The leaders fell into a long silence.

As the pinnacle of the pyramid, there was nothing in the world they couldn't enjoy.

They had always controlled others' destinies, and now, being manipulated themselves was naturally hard to accept.

However, it also made them resonate with Du Ge's words.

"This is precisely why I established the Federation of Emperor Stars, to make the emperor stars great because of us, no longer fighting over resources on this small planet, no longer discriminating because you are human and I am a mutant.

We must pursue true freedom in the vast universe, ultimately becoming the most powerful existence in the cosmos, above all others, free in time, free in space, free in spirit... No civilization can ever ride over us again?"

Du Ge clenched his fist, passionately declaring, "So, next, all citizens of the Federation of Emperor Stars must unite, restart the stalled space program, and march into the universe to conquer other civilizations."

"Supreme God, are there other civilizations in the universe?" Richard Wood raised his hand and asked.

"Of course, if there were no other civilizations, where would I have learned about the Statue of Liberty, where would I have gained divine power?" Du Ge looked at him, smiling, "You don't think the emperor stars could truly mutate to possess such powerful abilities like mine, do you?"

"Mr. Kou Nan, I admit that possessing great power can achieve true freedom. But as you said, if there is indeed a Statue of Liberty, wouldn't so-called freedom still be under her control?" a stubborn leader of a small country said.

"Then we'll eliminate the Statue of Liberty." Du Ge said nonchalantly, "We pursue freedom itself, and if a deity obstructs us in the name of freedom, we'll eliminate him in the name of freedom."

"What if, in the end, you are the one obstructing freedom?" the small country's leader stubbornly asked, "Power ultimately drives people mad..."

"If one day you feel I hinder freedom, you can eliminate me as well." Du Ge smiled, facing the camera, revealing his arrogant yet confident face to the world, "Born for freedom, die for freedom, that is my mission.

But before that, everyone must strive desperately for freedom, and anyone who obstructs my pursuit of freedom will be considered my enemy..."

Hiss!

Everyone gasped; they didn't know about freedom, but they were sure of one thing: Kou Nan's mind was definitely not normal. He was a madman, playing with everyone's fate!

"Any other questions?" Du Ge asked, looking directly at the small country's president.

"No more." The small country's president shook his head like a rattle.

"Then let's all get moving!" Du Ge smiled slightly and continued, "Don't stay here and waste time."

"Yes." The leaders collectively breathed a sigh of relief; as long as their rights weren't stripped away, everything was still acceptable.

It was merely a shift in research goals, keeping the scientists busy.

A mad god suppressing mutants was good for them; at least they didn't have to worry about mutants causing chaos.

While researching aerospace technology, if they could develop a weapon to counter Kou Nan, they would truly be free.

Under the influence of the chaos-inducing skill, everyone had their own thoughts, and the world returning to order was impossible.

Du Ge couldn't either.

He knew very well that the pursuit of pure freedom was essentially the pursuit of chaos.

As the leaders stood up, preparing to leave.

Du Ge knocked on the table again: "Oh, there's one more thing."

Chaos in action is also a form of chaos, and Du Ge wouldn't miss any opportunity for growth.

Everyone turned their attention back to Du Ge.

"Search the world for traces of aliens." Du Ge said seriously, looking at the camera, "After so many years, with even deities projecting onto me, it's highly likely that aliens have already infiltrated, at least the emergence of mutants is very suspicious.

So, those aliens hiding on the emperor stars, I don't care what your purpose is, I just hope you'll come to me voluntarily.

I can help you achieve your goals. If I find you first, there will be no good outcome for you."

In Earth's sci-fi dramas, aliens often infiltrate Earth, doing all sorts of strange things, like disguising themselves as humans, treating Earth as their home, or using lightsabers to fight natives despite having advanced technology...

What if there were aliens hiding on the emperor stars too?

At least the appearance of mutants was quite sudden...

Du Ge reasonably suspected everything.

In fact, he hoped there were aliens on the emperor stars, as it would greatly shorten his time exploring the universe.

For a civilization that hadn't even left its galaxy, exploring the universe was a massive undertaking, and success was uncertain.

Damn Pan-Universal Entertainment, why did they drop him on such a backward planet?

Didn't they consider the excitement of the game at all?

In the following days.

All local wars on the emperor stars ceased, forcibly mediated by Du Ge.

No racial conflict could withstand the overwhelming divine power capable of changing everything.

Similarly, the economy and politics of the emperor stars were in complete disarray.

The chaos of a civilization is most directly reflected in its economy; with even deities appearing, expecting the economy to remain stable was impossible.

However.

Du Ge didn't care about those matters; politicians would handle the chaos.

He didn't need to restore order in this world, as long as all research institutions operated normally, that was enough.

Scientists on the emperor stars were forcibly integrated by him, with scientific data from all countries shared, much like Bi Xing's approach when facing the Hill Civilization invasion, gathering the world's scientific power to research weapons and advance technology...

The scientists' research was divided into two areas by Du Ge: one was aerospace, the other was space-time theory;

The aerospace direction was for exploring the universe; space-time theory was for traversing time and space. Du Ge knew this Alien Star Battlefield had an accompanying universe, allowing him to travel to another universe like the heroes of the Avengers, which would count as his success...

In short, nothing could stop him from leaving the planet.

Unfortunately, the emperor stars weren't Marvel; the scientists here were normal people, without an Iron Man or Hank Pym capable of changing the world.

Among all the scientists, the most formidable was actually Du Ge.

The scientific knowledge he mastered on Bi Xing was generations ahead of the emperor stars.

Although the fundamental physical parameters of the two universes might differ, Du Ge's current mental power exceeded 30 billion, with acute senses and a wealth of knowledge.

Adjusting the fundamental parameters of the two worlds was a breeze, and the knowledge Du Ge provided made the scientists truly recognize his divine status. That knowledge could indeed rapidly elevate the emperor stars to the interstellar age.

All the top scientists on the emperor stars worked overtime to learn the knowledge Du Ge provided, converting it into practice, busy as bees.

Apart from contributing at the Academy of Sciences, Du Ge didn't idle away his time.

He monitored the entire world, traveling to every nook and cranny, trying to find traces of deities or aliens.

But even after visiting the two satellites of the emperor stars, he found no trace of alien civilization.

The entire emperor stars, like the previous Alien Star Battlefield, existed alone in the universe.

Du Ge possessed both Sun God power and Dark God power, allowing him to survive in space indefinitely.

But the universe was vast, and after entering space, sometimes even directions were hard to discern; exploring the universe with just his body was impossible.

This time.

Du Ge seemed truly trapped.

And for some reason?

Even though he tirelessly promoted freedom on the planet, he hadn't awakened a skill for the freedom keyword.

Under the chaos's sharp edge, freedom was completely overshadowed.

Or perhaps, no one had truly tasted the flavor of freedom, not even Du Ge.

Janice was equally busy.

Alongside aerospace technology, there was also mutant gene technology.

Du Ge hadn't found mutants stronger than Edward and others, like the Phoenix Force...

However, Edward and Gordon themselves represented the pinnacle of mutants;

In Earth's movies and comics, Flash could traverse time and change the future, Magneto could even absorb magnetism from the entire universe, pulling Kitty Pryde back to Earth from several light-years away, or even open a wormhole without external aid...

Although Edward and Gordon hadn't yet displayed abilities like Flash and Magneto, Du Ge believed they were also one of the paths to leaving the emperor stars.

Even if one day, they became stronger than him, it didn't matter.

Du Ge trusted his charisma.

Of course, Du Ge trusted the keywords more; at the gene research institute, he injected himself with many mutant gene samples, but without exception, they were repelled by his divine power.

Janice was no exception, but her keyword was fusion, and she hadn't awakened a second skill either.

In the midst of it all.

Du Ge had a feeling that Janice's second skill was likely to fall on gene fusion, much like Fan Lie's fusion keyword.

As long as Janice could fuse mutant genes, he would have a chance.

They just lacked a catalyst.

Du Ge didn't believe that Pan-Universal Entertainment would truly trap him on a planet for decades; that didn't align with Pan-Universal Entertainment's style...
