World's End: My Keyword is One More Than Others-Chapter 488
From a legitimate director of the Homeland Defense Bureau to a mere puppet, Luo Yan was exceptionally furious.
But he swallowed his anger.
Reflecting on Lin Hong's actions all along.
Making a name on the Battle Network—exposing his identity to attract the president's attention—proposing a plan to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf—improving the mecha—establishing authority by killing Mo Shengmin—exposing the list of Alien Star warriors—secretly controlling the Homeland Defense Bureau...
While he was in the bureau, he was led by the nose by Lin Hong, but once he stepped out, Luo Yan clearly realized that this clear path had already put the entire Bi Xing on the fire, set by Lin Hong.
One link after another.
Until everyone was tied to his warship, achieving his goal.
No wonder those Alien Star warriors would lose the courage to resist when mentioning Du Ge...
This guy is terrifying!
At this point.
What keywords Lin Hong has is no longer important; what Luo Yan is considering now is securing his position as the director of the Homeland Defense Bureau.
Only by stabilizing this position can he have the chance to control the dynamics of the Alien Star warriors.
After using their power to eliminate the Hill Civilization, he would have the opportunity to get rid of them.
Lin Hong keeps saying he wants to live peacefully in this world for decades.
But the human heart is complex, who knows what changes will occur once this group of supermen gains power?
The fate of Bi Xing must not be controlled by a group of outsiders...
...
On the official forum of Pan-Universal Entertainment.
Du Ge's new target sparked intense discussion.
"Du Ge is being somewhat presumptuous this time. What makes him think he can always suppress other Alien Star warriors with his strength? He doesn't even plan to leverage the reputation of the original Du Ge, he's overconfident."
"I think he's out of options. The low-key keyword limits his performance. Once he's exposed, his strength will inevitably plummet. Manipulating everything from behind the scenes is already the best way to utilize the keyword."
"Once the killing starts, it won't stop. Even if those people are temporarily suppressed by Du Ge, they will definitely reignite the war once they find an opportunity."
"That's right. Du Ge's keyword this time isn't suitable for combat or control skills. The people under his control now rely entirely on Du Ge's previous influence and the benefits he promised. Once they grow in their own ways, even the Homeland Defense Bureau might backstab Du Ge."
"Yeah, it feels like everyone around Du Ge has their own agenda. He's really walking a tightrope this time."
"The scariest part is that Pan-Universal Entertainment released two vengeful catfish into the game. Compared to changing Du Ge's keyword, I think this is the highlight of this game session."
"I don't want to see Du Ge fail. I can't understand why Du Ge doesn't just kill those people and nip the danger in the bud. It's not like he hasn't done it before."
"Du Ge sensed Pan-Universal Entertainment's scheme. This is a silent rebellion. He's telling Pan-Universal Entertainment that they can set the rules outside, but he can set the rules inside the game too. I like his domineering approach."
"Getting a bad keyword is Du Ge's fate, but artificially setting his keyword is too despicable and unfair. I don't want to see similar shady operations again."
"But I have to say, this time the Alien Star Battlefield isn't dominated by Du Ge alone. Watching Du Ge navigate among a group of people, encounter danger, and then resolve it is more interesting..."
"Why do you think Du Ge will fail? He's not fighting alone; he also has partners from Qi Yuan Star. You don't really believe Du Ge's talk about prolonging the Alien Star Battlefield for decades, do you? Is this your first time knowing Du Ge? When has he ever spoken the truth?"
"I bet, in no more than half a year, this Alien Star Battlefield will definitely end..."
...
The audience of Pan-Universal Entertainment generally didn't have high hopes for Du Ge.
But on Bi Xing, everything was proceeding smoothly according to Du Ge's plan.
Fan Lie was introduced by Du Ge to the Academy of Sciences.
His skill to perfectly merge two different objects into one caused a sensation among the scientists, especially those in the genetics department, who went crazy. Merging two completely different objects without any side effects...
If it were just merging animal and plant genes, that would be one thing.
But the fact that the human body could perfectly merge with machinery was beyond their understanding; it already touched on creation, which is the domain of gods...
Soon.
Fan Lie replaced Du Ge as the most popular person in the Academy of Sciences.
Scientists saw a new direction for the development of Bi Xing from him.
Under Fan Lie's operations.
The Academy of Sciences gave birth to a series of bizarre species: chicken-headed horses, fish-skinned sheep, winged tigers, lizard cats, and so on.
Of course.
There were also combinations of animals and machinery, like mecha wolves and radar bees...
Almost every minute, a new species was born in the genetics department of the Academy of Sciences.
The entire Academy was caught up in a frenzy, even the scientists studying Hill Civilization's spaceship lost interest in their work, spending all their time in the genetics department pondering new species.
Through repeated experiments, Fan Lie gradually perfected his own body structure.
He added eagle vision, bear smell, salamander regeneration, bat echolocation, tardigrade survival ability, squid camouflage, and more to himself.
Fan Lie was transforming himself step by step into a non-human direction, with many animal abilities even stronger than some keyword-derived skills.
After merging those animal genes, Fan Lie felt that even without relying on attributes, he could eventually grow into an invincible warrior.
However, he didn't plan to challenge Du Ge.
He felt he still had room to grow, and only he had the ability to merge everything, Bi Xing couldn't do without him.
Once he rolled out the gene modification project to the entire army, he would be the most prestigious person on Bi Xing, with attributes and gene modification advancing side by side.
Then it wouldn't be too late to deal with Du Ge.
Moreover, Fan Lie discovered that his mental power kept increasing during the continuous gene fusion process, and he didn't want to destroy this beauty. After all, mental power would also have great use when he returned to his home planet...
Two days later.
The scientists were finally unsatisfied with animal experiments. After transferring a batch of death row inmates from the prison, they began human gene experiments.
...
During these two days.
Feng Zhong, as the spokesperson of the Homeland Defense Bureau, teamed up with Zhu Qinqin to announce a significant breakthrough in gene technology on Bi Xing.
Feng Zhong focused on transformation, while Zhu Qinqin emphasized metamorphosis. The two of them reaped a wave of benefits from Fan Lie, causing their attributes to soar.
After all.
Gene modification technology wasn't just talk; it was backed by the biological products modified by Fan Lie.
For a time.
Gene modification technology even overshadowed the chaos caused by Alien Star warriors in various places.
Not only Feng Zhong and Zhu Qinqin were reaping benefits from Fan Lie.
Zhang Xueqi, whose keyword was rebuttal, also jumped out, fiercely questioning the authenticity of gene modification technology, stirring up a wave of traffic, and the traffic he received was no less than Feng Zhong and Zhu Qinqin's.
After all, there are always contrarians among the people, and the appearance of gene technology was too abrupt, so it's normal for people not to believe it.
...
After the initial exposure of the Alien Star warriors list.
Once the forces formed on a planetary basis, except for the Sixteenth Army Group controlled by Nine Dragon Star still causing trouble everywhere, the Alien Star warriors of other forces were temporarily in a relatively mild state.
Because.
No one knew what the keywords of the other forces were, how many Alien Star warriors they had integrated, and rashly attacking the other side could easily result in others reaping the benefits.
Rather than that, it's better to calmly develop oneself and wait for the other side to be exposed.
After all.
With Nine Dragon Star and Bell Star stirring things up, someone would eventually lose their patience.
...
The day after the gene technology news was released, Luo Yan's Homeland Defense Bureau once again issued a notice for the registration of Alien Star warriors in various places and compliance with Bi Xing's laws, giving them a final deadline—two days.
Two days later, if their illegal activities did not stop, the Homeland Defense Bureau would launch a severe crackdown on them.
On the day the Homeland Defense Bureau issued the notice.
Xu Wan, Xiang Jiaojiao, Hong Xin with the keyword restraint, Zhang Xueqi, Sang Chao with the straightforward keyword, and Zhao Mei with the friendly keyword had already headed to the Bell Star Alliance, preparing for the Homeland Defense Bureau's first operation.
Du Ge wanted to create an era of peace on Bi Xing.
Then the first to be eliminated must be the teams from Nine Dragon Star and Bell Star, who came from the Alien Star Battlefield. Their plight was indeed pitiful, but without fighting for resources, their fate was sealed...
...
At this time, Du Ge, along with Zhu Qinqin and Nalan Li, arrived at the Doomsday Cult's base in Haibin City.
After suffering a setback with Zhang Xueqi, Du Ge felt he needed a companion who could counter mind-control skills, otherwise, dealing with Alien Star warriors from other planets would be somewhat risky.
Going deep into enemy territory was too dangerous, so searching on Qi Yuan Star was the most suitable.
After contacting Gao Ming on the Battle Network, Du Ge met Gao Ming with little effort.
...
"Du Ge, you should have told me earlier, and let the official release a notice for me to cooperate in attacking the Sixteenth Army Group? Who do those guys think they are? Honestly, after seeing that announcement, it's already considered restraint that I didn't immediately send people to wipe out the Homeland Defense Bureau."
Seeing Du Ge, Gao Ming was extremely excited, "Why didn't you come to me earlier? I had a feeling that Ten Steps to Kill One was you, but you didn't reveal any information, so I didn't dare to come and confirm, fearing it was a trap that would ruin the foundation I built. Now it's good, we can join forces again. By the way, Du Ge, what's your keyword?"
The place where Du Ge and Gao Ming met was a secret room, also using materials that isolated perception.

Looking at Gao Ming, Du Ge smiled and said two words: "Low-key."
Gao Ming's eyes widened: "Low-key?"
"Yes, low-key." Du Ge nodded, "Old Gao, besides you, no one knows my keyword, not even Feng Zhong, so don't leak it."
"No wonder." Gao Ming looked at Du Ge, smiling bitterly, "No wonder you didn't reveal any information, it turns out you randomly got such an unlucky keyword."
"It's not that unlucky; everything on Bi Xing now is orchestrated by me." Du Ge smiled, "From the beginning, I was number one, and so far, no one has surpassed me, nor has anyone leaked my identity."
Gao Ming gave Du Ge a thumbs-up, shaking his head, "Indeed, there's no keyword that can stump you." He took a bottle of wine from the nearby cabinet, poured a glass for Du Ge, and asked, "Du Ge, what's your skill?"
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
"Hidden as Void and Deceive the Eyes." Du Ge downed the glass in one go and explained the effects of his skills to Gao Ming.
"..." Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, looking at Du Ge, seriously said, "Du Ge, you shouldn't have told me your keyword, maybe you should beat me up, I'm afraid if I encounter a control-type skill, I might accidentally expose you, it's best to seal my mouth with Deceive the Eyes, your keyword this time is too dangerous."
"No need to beat, rock-paper-scissors will do." Du Ge smiled, extended his hand to play rock-paper-scissors with Gao Ming, and cooperated with him to complete the seal, then asked, "Old Gao, I still don't know your skill?"
"Keyword Despair." Gao Ming said, "One skill is Doomsday Fantasy, I can project imagined disaster scenes into others' minds, allowing them to empathize; the Doomsday Cult was built using this; another skill is Utter Despair, a group skill, can instantly make the opponent lose fighting spirit and enter a state of extreme discouragement and disappointment."
In Du Ge's mind, Hong Xin's skill, Joy without Excess, flashed by, a skill that can interrupt others' emotions and desires, a perfect counter to Gao Ming's Utter Despair.
In a sense, Utter Despair is also a kind of emotion.
"Du Ge, my keyword this time isn't great either." Gao Ming smiled, "I just had an early start and met my own people in advance, otherwise, without offense or defense, I might not have developed..."
"Projecting doomsday scenes into others' minds, doing a projection for the entire Bi Xing, one skill could make you ascend." Du Ge laughed.
"If it were that powerful, it would be great, but it can only project within the range of mental power, a mere three kilometers, the impact is too limited."
Gao Ming said, "Unless I trigger a war between Hill Civilization and Bi Xing, and destroy the Battle Network, plunging the entire population of Bi Xing into despair, perhaps then I could achieve the effect of instant ascension, but doing so would conflict with your plan, Du Ge."
"Making Hill Civilization despair should work too." Du Ge glanced at Gao Ming, saying, "But it will take two years."
"I'll follow Du Ge's arrangements." Gao Ming said, "Actually, I don't know what to do next. With you here, Du Ge, I suddenly have a backbone, just like the last Alien Star Battlefield, you take the lead, I cooperate, you say how to fight, and we'll fight that way!"
Du Ge nodded, asking, "How many people from Qi Yuan Star have you gathered?"
"Six." Gao Ming said, "Basically, no particularly powerful keywords, I suspect people from Qi Yuan Star are being deliberately targeted."
Du Ge was silent for a moment, asking, "Is there a keyword that is immune to mind-control skills?"
"There is one." Gao Ming said.
"What?" Du Ge asked.
"Non-action." Gao Ming said, "She awakened a skill called Desireless, when she uses the skill, the team won't be affected by any external thoughts, but it will also lower the team's morale and fighting spirit, entering a state of indifference to everything;"
"Anything else?" Du Ge asked.
"Sun and Moon in a Jar." Gao Ming said, "Once a day, for three minutes, wherever she can be seen, everyone, regardless of what they are doing, will immediately enter a state of tranquility and non-action, and after recovering, all negative states will be cleared."
"She's the one." Du Ge's eyes lit up, "She's a perfect peace ambassador, let her come with me, I have use for her."
"What about me? Du Ge, I want to go with you too." Gao Ming said anxiously.
"No, you stay here, continue to recruit people from Qi Yuan Star, distancing Qi Yuan Star from me is more beneficial to my plan." Du Ge shook his head, refusing him, "Old Gao, I'm a bit tired, I don't want to fight battle after battle, I want to rest on this planet, recover my energy..."
