World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 629: Laissez-faire

Humiliation!

This was the ultimate humiliation!

Harry, who had been stamped, was beyond furious. What future of theirs was bright? Du Ge clearly saw them as slaves...

Was he really just a few minutes slower than those women?

Couldn't he be given a moment to think?

Du Ge's actions were even more domineering than the God King...

Harry looked at Du Ge and saw a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling yet not, with a hint of indifference hidden within, a deep disregard for life. His heart pounded heavily as he suddenly realized his status was that of a prisoner of war, not the so-called like-minded comrade Du Ge claimed.

Du Ge asked, "Harry, do you have anything to say?"

A simple question, yet it instantly extinguished the anger in Harry's heart. His mouth subconsciously twisted into a smile, "Great God King, it's my honor to be marked by you. From now on, my name is Harry Fish..."

Saying this, shame filled Harry's heart. He awkwardly wished he could dig into the ground with his toes, but he had no toes now, so he could only comfort his fragile heart with his grand undercover plan.

Yet, tears of humiliation still involuntarily welled up. He had sacrificed too much for the Zorn God King.

"You're crying?" Du Ge naturally noticed Harry's anger. Being stamped and treated like livestock would anger anyone. But he didn't care; once he marked someone, they became his private property, not much different from slaves.

As long as he didn't endanger their lives, his private property wouldn't resist...

"Great God King, these are tears of excitement," Harry choked out. At this moment, he suddenly activated a switch called flattery. After saying this, seeing Du Ge's raised eyebrows, all his thoughts suddenly became clear.

Du Ge could be influenced by words, and he still had his own thoughts, which was a good thing. At least it showed he wasn't being controlled.

Having a stamp personally marked by Du Ge was also a good thing for him. It was a sign of being one of his own, and with this stamp, he could easily win Du Ge's trust.

Harry found a new reason for himself and became increasingly at ease.

"Harry, your language skills are excellent. I have high hopes for you. Work hard with me, and your future will surely be bright." Du Ge generously offered encouragement, then looked at the remaining people, his fingertips once again sparking with lightning.

"God King, my name is Pence Fish..."

"My name is Thomson Fish..."

Everyone rushed to announce their new names. Their actions seemed childish, like kids playing house, not at all fitting their noble status as commanders. But since Harry had surrendered, what else could they do?

March to their deaths heroically?

No one wanted a stamp on their forehead. Ordinary scars could be removed, but who dared to remove a scar planted by the God King?

Harry was a fool...

...

Du Ge didn't promote the fish names among the lower ranks; there were too many people, and he couldn't possibly mark them all, nor was it necessary.

He only needed to control the high-ranking personnel.

Next.

Du Ge helped Harry and the others reattach their arms. Feeling their restored bodies, everyone had mixed emotions.

Except for a few female commanders, the others' mindsets subtly shifted without them realizing it.

Birmingham had long received the God King's orders and didn't dare disturb Du Ge. Only after Du Ge finished his tasks did he cautiously approach and say, "God King, the Celestial God King just sent orders for us to take the Seed of Humanity to Redwood Star. He wants to personally reward us. Should we go?"

"How far is Redwood Star from us?" Du Ge asked.

"Ten space nodes. If there are no unexpected events on the way, it will take about three days to get there," Birmingham said, pausing before hesitantly adding, "God King, along with the Celestial God King's orders, a few Valkyries also sent private messages, warning you that the Celestial God King plans to eliminate you and urging you not to follow his orders."

Upon hearing this.

Janice and a few female commanders immediately tensed up. Especially Janice, her heart clenched tightly. Du Ge kept saying he already had her, but there were too many temptresses trying to seduce him!

Janice glanced at Teresa and the others, thinking that perhaps she should find a way to marry off all the women around Du Ge.

Harry and the others sighed inwardly, having long anticipated such a situation. The Valkyries around the God King were secretly passing messages for him, his damn charm was too strong.

While relieved that Du Ge's charm didn't affect men, Harry couldn't help but start reassessing his stance. Perhaps following Du Ge truly offered more prospects than the Zorn God King.

...

The effect of budding romance was indeed strong. Du Ge skipped over the private messages and asked, "Birmingham, where is the main battlefield now?"

"The Tula Star System," Birmingham replied.

"Then let's head to the Tula Star System," Du Ge said. "We have too few personnel and need to expand our forces. We need to go to the most complex battlefield, turn both warring sides into our own, and then seize a territory of our own."

Harry and the others exchanged glances.

Rhett pursed his lips and said, "God King, doing so means declaring war on two god clans simultaneously."

"Otherwise? Should we really hand the Seed of Humanity over to the Celestial God King?" Du Ge smiled at him, spinning the Seed of Humanity in his hand, and teasingly asked, "This is your future hope. Are you willing to give it away?"

"Naturally, we're not willing," Rhett replied awkwardly.

"In that case, stop these pointless tests. Even the Valkyries know the Celestial God King harbors ill intentions towards me, so why should I indulge him? The two god clans have long been my enemies."

Du Ge snorted lightly and smiled, "I have my confidence in doing this. Most importantly, I trust all of you. I believe that if we unite, we can create a beautiful new tomorrow."

Casually saying these grand words, Du Ge instructed, "Harry, and all the newly joined captains, you have three hours to integrate your fleets. I don't care what methods you use, whether by coercion or inducement. In three hours, I want a complete fleet of our own, heading to the Tula Star System."

"Yes," everyone responded in unison.

"God King, do we need to reply to the Celestial God King?" Birmingham asked.

"Tell him I'm reorganizing the Zorn God Clan's fleet, which will take a few days. Once everyone is reorganized, I'll bring the completed fleet and the Seed of Humanity to Redwood Star. If possible, please send a few fleets to help escort the prisoners."

Du Ge smiled and casually made up a reason, "After all, we just won a major victory. Managing eleven fleets with three fleets, it's normal for the surrendered soldiers to be unruly..."

Birmingham's brow twitched, and he respectfully saluted Du Ge, "Yes."

Previously, Du Ge had enticed them with benefits, essentially offering empty promises, leaving Birmingham's heart wavering.

At this moment, he firmly chose to side with Du Ge, not because of the Valkyries' private messages, but because Du Ge had conquered him with strength...

...

Pan-Universal Entertainment Headquarters.

Ross finished his conversation with the board.

"Ross, what does the board mean?" Gao Qiao asked. "Do we need to summon Du Ge back? He created a miracle, breaking through the limitations of keywords..."

Du Ge's personal interface was projected in front of everyone, eleven keywords, twenty-one skills, shocking everyone.

They had lost the heart to work.

"No need," Ross shook his head.

"Why?" Gao Qiao asked. "No one has ever possessed eleven keywords simultaneously."

"Precisely because no one has ever possessed eleven keywords simultaneously," Ross said. "The board sees hope in him for unlocking the source of the laws, potentially solving our species' deficiencies. The board wants him to grow..."

"Do they fancy his body?" Gao Qiao asked.

"Not just his body, but also his soul and the world behind him," Ross replied. "Du Ge said he's merely an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, meaning his true form is even stronger. The company wants to find his true form and uncover the secret of how he can possess so many keywords simultaneously.

Du Ge's importance has already surpassed the value of the current universe."

"If he's so important, why not summon him back immediately?" Adan asked. "What if something happens to him on the Alien Star Battlefield?"

"When he had two keywords, he already dominated so many Alien Star Battlefields, let alone now with eleven keywords," Ross glanced at him and sighed. "In the current Alien Star Battlefield, there's no one who can kill him.

Moreover, this time the Alien Star Battlefield contains many special warriors, and even life instruments like the Seed of Humanity exist in the universe. The board wants to see what kind of miraculous effects will be catalyzed when Du Ge encounters them."

...

Rad God Clan.

The Dao Ancestor received the battle footage from the 187th space node sent by the Zorn God King.

After watching it, he fell into silence.

Du Ge's growth rate was too fast, so fast that he was somewhat overwhelmed. The golden apple given by the First Sage filled him with spiritual energy, forming a Dao fruit, and his cultivation level should surpass the God of the Celestial God Clan.

But even with his current strength, he couldn't single-handedly take on eleven warships. He was waiting for other Alien Star warriors, hoping to further enhance his strength.

However...

If only he hadn't chosen the path of body possession back then, the Dao Ancestor inexplicably began to miss the powerful strength of his true form.

In the footage, Du Ge led a string of commanders missing limbs, facing eleven warships with a high-spirited demeanor that was indeed somewhat charming...

Given Du Ge's character, he should be planning to develop his own forces next!

Perhaps he should reveal his identity and fight alongside him. Together, they could quickly conquer this universe and then jointly deal with Pan-Universal Entertainment, seizing their source of keywords...

His keyword was coalition, so Du Ge shouldn't refuse his invitation.

The Dao Ancestor's mind couldn't help but start imagining the scenes of fighting side by side with Du Ge, slaughtering all enemies.

But when he thought of the source of keywords, he suddenly snapped back to reality.

No.

His goal was transcendence, to claim Pan-Universal Entertainment's keywords for himself, and Du Ge's goal was also to seize the keywords.

There was only one opportunity, and if Du Ge got it, he wouldn't.

The Dao Ancestor clearly understood that Du Ge was using everyone.

So, their goals were conflicting, making them natural enemies.

How could he think of joining forces with Du Ge?

Was it the keywords?

The Dao Ancestor emptied his mind, reviewing his earlier thoughts, and then he found the adjective "charming."

Charming?

The Dao Ancestor broke out in a cold sweat, quickly closing his eyes, refusing to look at the projection of Du Ge.

Damn it!

Du Ge had influenced his mind through a piece of footage. What exactly was his keyword?

"Queen Mother, do you have any thoughts?" The Dao Ancestor closed his eyes, pretending nothing had happened, still maintaining the demeanor of a high-level figure.

"What thoughts could I have? Just take him down," the Queen Mother grumbled, "If you don't dare to go, I'll go myself. Take down Du Ge, inherit his attributes, and I'll have combat power beyond his. Then, I'll sweep across the universe, taking down every Celestial God King, Zorn God King, one by one, leaving none..."

Reminded by the Dao Ancestor to be cautious of losing attributes, the Queen Mother spoke cautiously, never forgetting to flaunt her arrogance.

Hearing this, the Dao Ancestor's forehead veins twitched, "Queen Mother, there's no need for exaggeration when discussing serious matters."

However, the Queen Mother's words made the Dao Ancestor realize that she hadn't been affected, meaning only he was influenced?

Why only him and not the Queen Mother?

What exactly was Du Ge's skill?

"Dao Ancestor, I'm not exaggerating," the Queen Mother said. "Du Ge's strength is growing too fast. He won't hand the Seed of Humanity to the Celestial God King or the Zorn God Clan, leaving the two god clans without a reason for war. Having toyed with both god clans, both God Kings will surely prioritize eliminating him.

Didn't the Zorn God King want to ally with us? Now is the best time to form an alliance. Your keyword is coalition, and facilitating the union of the Rad God Clan and the Zorn God Clan will surely boost your attributes.

Didn't you ask me to leak our identity information? The Immortal Emperor has already contacted me, having been recruited by the Zorn God King, and is waiting for an audience. If we unite with the Zorn God Clan, you might as well reveal your identity, and perhaps all Ten Celestial Lords will flock to us.

Our goal is transcendence, not concerning ourselves with the civilizations in this universe. With the Zorn God King's power, are we not capable of taking down Du Ge? The longer we delay, the lower the chances of defeating Du Ge. His growth rate is too fast."

"Well said," the Dao Ancestor nodded, still not opening his eyes, continuing to ask, "Queen Mother, did you notice anything different about Du Ge from this battle footage?"

"His combat style has become more cunning," the Queen Mother snorted, "Clearly capable of defeating the enemy openly, yet choosing to strip them and break their limbs. Once this footage is released, his reputation will surely suffer. In my opinion, we should make this footage public, letting everyone see Du Ge's true nature..."

"Anything else?" the Dao Ancestor sighed and asked again.

"Dao Ancestor, forgive my lack of insight, but I can't see anything else," the Queen Mother frowned and said.

"Go have different people watch this footage and tell me their reactions," the Dao Ancestor nodded and instructed.
