World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 619: Defect, soldiers!

"What happened? You encountered the God of War for less than half an hour..."

Cheson was incredulous. Before Rhett could answer, he continued, "Even if the Thunder's shield was breached, you should have retreated to space node 487, not fought desperately with the God of War..."

"I..." Rhett knew Cheson was right, but he couldn't bear to abandon the God of War. Even if he had to die, he wanted to die on the God of War. "It's too late. Cheson, beware of the deity that broke the shield. He has powers comparable to a God King. Our intelligence was wrong..."

Suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly, and he looked to his side in horror, assuming a defensive posture. "You... how did you get here so fast?"

Capture the leader first.

After breaking the shield, Du Ge brought Janice into the Thunder, sensed around, and instantly teleported to Rhett's side.

The guards and staff in the command room simultaneously drew their weapons and aimed at Du Ge. Some who specialized in speed had already launched a surprise attack on him.

But to Du Ge, their speed seemed like slow motion.

Du Ge smiled slightly, and those people were frozen in place. Seeing how adeptly Rhett used telekinesis, Du Ge began to consciously hone his own telekinetic abilities.

After immobilizing those around, Du Ge looked at Rhett and said with a smile, "General Rhett, would you like to take a look at the God of War?"

"It's you?" Rhett was a smart man. In the heat of the moment, without anyone to remind him, he was deeply entrenched and wouldn't think of the reason. But when Du Ge suddenly mentioned the God of War, and recalling his previous abnormal behavior, he suddenly realized, "You influenced my mind?"

"Who are you?" Cheson's communication with Rhett hadn't been interrupted. Seeing Du Ge suddenly break in, Cheson asked urgently.

"General Cheson, let me introduce myself. My name is Kou Nan, the holder of the Seed of Humanity, the guide of free movement in the astral world. My goal is to allow every person, every race in the universe to freely control their own destiny."

Du Ge heard their conversation, knew the identity of the person on the other side, and naturally called out his name.

As he spoke, he took out the Seed of Humanity, elegantly playing with it in his hand, and took the opportunity to proclaim his philosophy.

When Du Ge took out the Seed of Humanity, Rhett and Cheson's eyes were fixed on it, not hearing a word he said.

"The Seed of Humanity is in your hands," they said in unison.

"Of course, I am the most powerful deity on the God of War, so naturally, the Seed of Humanity is under my care," Du Ge said, spinning the Seed of Humanity in his hand with a smile. "Or should I hand it over to Birmingham and let you snatch it away?"

"..." Rhett's pupils contracted, and he felt a headache coming on.

"Rhett, is he the God King you mentioned?" Cheson asked coldly.

"That's right, he shattered the Thunder's shield with his bare hands." Fearing Cheson wouldn't realize the seriousness of the situation, Rhett emphasized, "He should specialize in strength."

"Gentlemen, do you take me for the God King of the Celestial God Clan?" Du Ge asked unexpectedly.

"Aren't you?" Rhett shouted angrily, his fury temporarily making him forget about the God of War outside.

At this moment.

The God of War of the Zorn God Clan had already boarded the battleship, fearlessly charging towards the God of War, launching a fierce counterattack.

The firepower on the God of War remained concentrated on the Thunder, with overwhelming firepower seemingly intent on completely destroying the Thunder.

In space, fireworks blossomed one after another.

Both sides were locked in a fierce battle.

The Thunder trembled continuously, with explosions erupting in some areas.

Without its shield, the Thunder's destruction was only a matter of time unless the warriors of the Zorn God Clan could breach the God of War's defenses before the Thunder was completely destroyed...

Through the Thunder's large screen, Du Ge watched the battle outside, shook his head, and said, "No, a day ago, I had no connection with the Celestial God Clan. I am a deity born and raised on the emperor stars."

"Impossible, the desolate lands could never produce a deity as powerful as you," Rhett said.

"Not possible before encountering the Seed of Humanity, but with it, anything is possible," Du Ge smiled, looking at Rhett and asking, "How many abilities have you gained from the Seed of Humanity?"

"..." Rhett was stunned.

Du Ge looked at him, shook his head.

Then.

He extended a hand, and a flame emerged from his palm. Another hand produced a splash of water, which then froze into ice;

Du Ge blinked, and two scorching beams shot from his eyes, cutting a large hole in the command room wall.

Under Rhett's incredulous gaze, a pair of pure white wings emerged from Du Ge's back. Then, half of his body turned into a mist, while the other half became crystalline...

Du Ge casually switched between the various superpowers he had acquired.

Rhett and Cheson were completely stunned. They were all too familiar with these superpowers, and Rhett's lips trembled, "How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. I've gained almost all the superpowers within the Seed of Humanity," Du Ge shrugged, saying, "That's the secret to my immense strength. To be precise, it wasn't Birmingham who defeated me, but I who used him to spark a war between the Celestial God Clan and the Zorn God Clan..."

That sentence left both of them speechless.

"I don't believe it," Rhett said.

"What don't you believe?" Du Ge asked, "That I gained all the superpowers from the Seed of Humanity, or that I'm a deity born and raised in the desolate lands?"

"Neither," Rhett's eyes reddened.

"The facts are right in front of you. In truth, you've already believed it," Du Ge smiled, "Moreover, the Celestial God Clan and the Zorn God Clan have already gone to war."

"Why are you doing this?" Cheson asked.

"Because I want to become the ruler of the universe, and the Celestial God Clan and the Zorn God Clan are in my way," Du Ge sighed deeply, saying.

"Even if the Celestial God Clan and the Zorn God Clan destroy each other, you can't become the ruler of the universe," Rhett said, "A civilization is supported by many, not by a single individual."

"The God King and God King have long lives, even immortality. Even if the war reaches its end, the God King and God King will still survive. If they learn the truth, you'll be doomed."

Cheson looked at Du Ge and said, "Kou Nan, the wisest course of action is to return the Seed of Humanity to the Zorn God Clan, maintain the current state of the universe, and the Zorn God Clan will protect you. When you grow stronger, you might even inherit the position of the Zorn God King."

"Rhett, Cheson, if I gave you a chance to gain all the abilities within the Seed of Humanity, would you take it?" Du Ge suddenly asked.

Both of them held their breath.

"You... you know how to gain all the abilities from the Seed of Humanity?" Rhett asked, trembling.

Du Ge nodded.

Rhett looked at the screen showing Cheson, whose face didn't look good.

Both of them suddenly understood the implication behind Du Ge's words.

The people of the Zorn God Clan gaining one superpower from the Seed of Humanity could already contend with the Celestial God Clan. Gaining two divine powers could already make someone like him, a general.

Even the Zorn God King only possessed seven abilities.

No one could resist the temptation of having all the superpowers.

This was Du Ge's confidence!

Anyone who gained all the superpowers from the Seed of Humanity couldn't possibly remain subordinate to others, and others wouldn't allow such a powerful person to be their subordinate.

Whether it was the God King of the Celestial God Clan or the Zorn God King, knowing Du Ge's abilities, they would act against him, trying to eliminate him in the cradle.

From the beginning, Kou Nan had only one path to take: to defeat everyone and become the true ruler of the universe.

Based on this analysis, everything he did suddenly made perfect sense.

"Kou Nan, do you know what it means if what you said gets exposed?" Cheson suddenly asked.

"What does it mean?" Du Ge asked in return.

"It means you'll be hunted by both the Celestial God Clan and the Zorn God Clan," Rhett said, "No one wants you to grow stronger."

"Gentlemen, I must remind you that the war between the Celestial God Clan and the Zorn God Clan has already begun. Moreover, the Zorn God Clan has lost the Seed of Humanity. From the start, you have no way out of this war," Du Ge said with a smile.

"That was before," Cheson said, "If the fact that you've gained all the abilities from the Seed of Humanity gets out..."

"So what?" Du Ge interrupted him, "Will the Zorn God Clan focus all their efforts on hunting me down? Will the Celestial God Clan just watch as you capture me and gain the method to extract abilities from the Seed of Humanity?"

"..." Rhett and Cheson were both stunned.

Janice watched the conversation, dazed.

She looked at Du Ge with shining eyes. She had witnessed the entire process of Du Ge absorbing the Seed of Humanity. Even someone as powerful as Du Ge had almost died at that time.

Absorbing all the abilities from the Seed of Humanity was simply not feasible to spread.

But she loved how Du Ge used a non-existent matter to fool everyone, just like how he once stirred up chaos in the Simulation Field using Selma's bounty for a child, eventually involving her as well.

Only a man like him was worthy of her, Janice!

"Aren't you afraid of being hunted by the God King of the Celestial God Clan and the Zorn God King at the same time?" Rhett asked.

"Is that possible?" Du Ge's smile was full of confidence, "No God King would allow the other to gain me and the Seed of Humanity. Unless they can ambush and kill me, but that's unlikely, because I've hidden the method to absorb the Seed of Humanity's abilities in a secret place. If anything happens to me, the method will be spread..."

He raised the Seed of Humanity, "He who holds the Seed of Humanity holds the world."

"I need to report this to the God King," Cheson said, his expression somewhat panicked, feeling that things were spiraling out of control.

"Cheson, are you sure you want to do that?" Du Ge suddenly asked.

Cheson froze on the spot.

"Let's hypothetically play out what happens if you report this to the God King?" Du Ge smiled, "I think the first order the God King would give is for you to stop me at all costs and take the Seed of Humanity from me!"

Cheson nodded instinctively.

"See, even you can guess the God King's order," Du Ge said, looking at Cheson, "What happens after you receive the order? There are probably two possibilities. First, you are defeated by me, and I certainly won't spare you, because you betrayed me, you're my enemy.

Second, you miraculously win and help the Zorn God Clan reclaim the Seed of Humanity. But what awaits you is likely the God King's suspicion! I think he wouldn't allow someone who knows the secret of absorbing all the abilities from the Seed of Humanity to live."

"I don't know the method," Cheson argued.

"I'll tell you," Du Ge said with a smile.

"You..." Cheson glared at Du Ge.

"Just kidding," Du Ge laughed, "But even if I didn't tell you, do you think the God King would believe it?"

"..." Cheson was stunned.

"See, even you don't trust the God King," Du Ge said, continuing, "Cheson, don't you want to have all the superpowers one day?"

Cheson shuddered, swallowed hard, and tried to stay calm, "Don't try to tempt me."

"The Seed of Humanity is in my hands, I have the method to enhance your superpowers, and I'm in need of talents to help manage the universe. If we join forces, we might gain control over the entire universe..."

Du Ge slowly laid out his bait, "The universe is so vast, are you content with just being a general of a God Clan? Even if you report the truth to the Zorn God King, it won't stop the war, it will only add fuel to the fire, possibly escalating the war...

No matter who wins in the end, you won't gain any benefits.

If the Zorn God King gets the Seed of Humanity, he won't enhance your abilities because he's afraid you'll challenge his rule;

If the Celestial God King gets the Seed of Humanity, he still won't enhance your powers because you're his enemy, and you might not even survive until the end of the war.

Only I need comrades, need talents to help me manage the universe. We both have needs, cooperation is a win-win. And you only need to commit a small betrayal, and you might gain a status comparable to a God King, and even greater power..."

Gulp!

Rhett swallowed hard, looking at Du Ge, clearly tempted.

Cheson's face was uncertain. He was originally loyal to the Zorn God King, but after Du Ge laid out the consequences, he suddenly became unsure about his future.

After all, what Du Ge said was too important.

Important enough to possibly cost him his life.

"Rhett, I forgot to mention, you'll also gain your life and the chance to board the God of War," Du Ge said, turning his attention back to Rhett with a smile, ignoring the dazed Cheson.

Mentioning the God of War again, Rhett snapped back to reality and asked, "What exactly did you do to me?"

"It wasn't me, it was the work of the God of Love," Du Ge said, pushing Janice forward and introducing her grandly, "She's the God of Love, and she linked you and the God of War in a bond. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be infatuated with the God of War for life, and might even marry it..."

"Impossible!" Rhett's eyes widened, his facial muscles twitching. He was usually a very calm person, but today, he had lost control several times.

"Why not?" Du Ge pointed to the God of War, "Why don't you take another look at it, see if you feel moved? Do you see an unparalleled beauty in it? Like its exhaust pipe?"

"I won't let you insult it..." Rhett started to speak, but suddenly stopped, his face turning pale as he looked at Janice.

"You're welcome, it's what I do," Janice shrugged, smiling.

"Rhett, if you want to break this bond, you can choose to follow me," Du Ge said with a smile, "Otherwise, the story of General Rhett's tragic love affair with a spaceship might spread across the universe, because the God of Love's fame will spread wider in the upcoming war."

"Despicable," Rhett cursed.

"General Rhett, how can one become a God King without being despicable?" Du Ge shook his head, then looked at Cheson, "Cheson, Rhett is tempted, what about you?"

You're lying, I'm not...

Rhett opened his mouth, wanting to refute Du Ge, but in the end, he swallowed his words. He found himself unable to refuse Du Ge, whether it was the God of War or the Seed of Humanity.

"I want to know, what about Birmingham? Did he betray the Celestial God Clan?" Cheson asked, his eyes red.

"Yes, he betrayed the Celestial God Clan, unable to resist the temptation of the Seed of Humanity," Du Ge nodded affirmatively, throwing a bucket of dirty water on Birmingham, "But on the surface, he's still the God of War of the Celestial God Clan, because we're using this war to gain more benefits and find more allies, like you..."
