World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Within a day.

Ying Fei, Xin Tianyang, and Xu Wan's team arrived one after another.

This time, Du Ge's team had more than ten members.

And there were no useless keywords; everyone's keywords could be put to use.

However, the team seemed to have more women than men.

Except for Xin Tianyang, Sang Chao, Zhang Xueqi, and Hong Xin, the rest were all women.

If it weren't for the varied appearances and ages of these women, Nalan Li might have thought Du Ge had some special preference.

At this moment.

Xu Wan, Ying Fei, Ji Mo, and others sized each other up, exchanging glances with a hint of caution.

"Let's introduce ourselves!" Du Ge looked around at everyone and said, "From now on, we are going to fight side by side. I don't want any unnecessary thoughts arising within the team."

"My name is Ji Mo, like Lin Hong, I'm from Qi Yuan Star. My keyword is 'Wu Wei,' and my skills are 'Desireless' and 'Sun and Moon in a Jar...'" Ji Mo said without hesitation.

After the Shi Pingchuan incident, Du Ge had established absolute authority on Qi Yuan Star. Every Alien Star warrior from Qi Yuan Star would follow his orders without question.

Moreover, seeing Du Ge single-handedly integrate so many Alien Star warriors from other planets, Ji Mo was already in awe of him, influenced by her budding admiration, and naturally would fully cooperate with Du Ge.

After stating her keyword and skills, she provocatively glanced at Xu Wan, as if to say, "You are ultimately outsiders, and I'm not afraid to reveal my skills first, even if it contradicts my keyword."

"My keyword is 'Calculations,' and my skill is 'Meticulous Planning...'"

Unwilling to be outdone, Xu Wan glanced at Ji Mo and slowly revealed her keyword as well.

Next came Ying Fei, Xiang Jiaojiao, and others, each seemingly competing, not caring about revealing their keywords and skills.

Since everyone else had spoken, Xin Tianyang and the others naturally couldn't hide theirs and revealed their cards one after another.

This scene left Nalan Li in awe.

This is charisma!

Back when she was investigating alone, it was so difficult to find out even one keyword...

After everyone finished, Du Ge smiled and said, "That's more like it! Xu Wan, plans can't keep up with changes. My original intention was to build the Homeland Defense Bureau and train you all, but your performance on this solo mission was a bit too poor, causing dissatisfaction among many.

Moreover, in a month, the President will reopen the supply line to the space front. The space front has military power capable of destroying Bi Xing. To prevent Alien Star warriors from sneaking into space and seizing control of the front's weapons to destroy Bi Xing, I plan not to differentiate between the Homeland Defense Bureau's dark and light divisions anymore. I want to unite the top forces of both departments to suppress the Alien Star warriors on Bi Xing as quickly as possible."

"Brother Lin, are we going to attack the Kingdom of Malta this time?" Xu Wan hesitated and asked.

"Yes," Du Ge nodded, "Guo Yougui's keyword is related to madness, and his subordinates likely have similar keywords related to slaughter. Their existence has already made people on Bi Xing uneasy, and we must eliminate them before they grow stronger."

"Lin Hong, but they are from Blue Star," Hong Xin couldn't help but say, "Isn't it a bit too much to have us kill each other?"

Even the impulsive Xiang Jiaojiao fell silent.

"I once killed everyone on my planet until there was only one left," Du Ge said calmly.

As soon as he said this, everyone shivered, including Nalan Li.

"No one can affect my plans," Du Ge looked at Xu Wan and the others and said, "This time, I brought you here to make a choice, to see if you want the final victory or to live and die with the people of your planet."

As soon as he said this, Xu Wan and the others were quickly isolated.

Zhang Xueqi, Sang Chao, and others stood behind Du Ge, drawing a clear line between themselves and the others.

After Sang Chao left their team, Xiang Jiaojiao clearly felt her attributes drop significantly, though it was just her illusion.

Sang Chao only boosted her speed; the real reason was that Du Ge had canceled the 'Iron Man's Tenderness' effect on both of them.

Hong Xin's face turned very ugly in an instant.

"Brother Lin, if we don't agree to deal with the people from Blue Star, will we die?" Xu Wan looked at Du Ge and asked tremblingly.

"Yes," Du Ge nodded affirmatively, "I need a united team, Xu Wan. This time, the rules of the Alien Star Battlefield only allow the top three to remain. Theoretically, leaving people from three planets is enough."

Xu Wan looked at Du Ge, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but she showed a pained expression.

"Do we have to kill them all?" Xiang Jiaojiao looked at Du Ge and asked.

"I said suppress, not kill them all," Du Ge glanced at Xiang Jiaojiao and said, "I've said before, I want to restore the rules changed by Du Ge, so it's best to leave some people from each planet. That way, the Alien Star Battlefield won't end prematurely."

In fact, Du Ge's purpose in bringing Xu Wan and the others was to reasonably leave some people from Blue Star.

After all, killing the men and leaving the women would be too obvious if said out loud.

With Xu Wan and the others as a buffer, plus his desire for a peaceful life for decades, leaving some people seemed more reasonable.

Considering human nature, leaving some people gives them hope for a comeback, so Pan-Universal Entertainment won't end the Alien Star Battlefield prematurely, giving him enough time to research outer space.

Xu Wan's eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll help you suppress them. I can negotiate with them."

"In whose name will you negotiate? Mine, or Du Ge's?" Du Ge looked at her with a smile and asked.

Isn't it the same?

Aren't you Du Ge?

You're the only one who killed your own people on the Alien Star Battlefield until only one was left!

Xu Wan was stunned.

"Xu Wan, the rules of this world are different. Once Du Ge's name is leaked, it might lead to everyone attacking us, making them even crazier, and they might even join forces. Are you sure you want to do this?" Du Ge looked at Xu Wan, his eyes smiling, but his question was aggressive.

"I..."

Xu Wan was at a loss for words.

She did intend to use Du Ge's name to help more people from her planet survive.

But if it brought danger to Du Ge, he probably wouldn't keep her around, and she had just gained Du Ge's friendship...

And if she were killed by Du Ge, the people from Blue Star would have even less chance of survival.

Xu Wan could see the success rate of things.

At this moment, looking at Du Ge, no matter how she calculated, their success rate was less than one percent.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Wan's eyes dimmed, and she said painfully, "Brother Lin, I'll follow your arrangements."

Du Ge looked at Xiang Jiaojiao.

Xiang Jiaojiao sighed, "I'll follow Brother Lin's arrangements too."

"So will I," Hong Xin said with a bitter smile. He also couldn't sacrifice himself for others, and Du Ge was right. If some people from a planet survive, there are resources; if everyone dies, there's nothing left.

"Xu Wan, Xiang Jiaojiao, those who achieve great things don't mind the details. Surviving to bring resources back to the planet is more meaningful than saving a few comrades, isn't it?"

Du Ge's gaze swept over the three of them, seemingly comforting, yet also threatening, "Keywords like madness and slaughter must die. The Homeland Defense Bureau needs to establish its authority through this. Other keywords with low growth potential can be allowed to stay, but they must accept the supervision and arrangements of the Homeland Defense Bureau. Do you have any objections?"

"No objections."

Only killing those with negative keywords meant more people could survive. Xu Wan and the others were overjoyed and nodded quickly.

"Thank you, Du Ge." Xu Wan gave Du Ge a flattering smile.

"Zhang Xueqi, Sang Chao, Zhu Qinqin, the same goes for people from your planet," having settled Xu Wan and the others, Du Ge looked at Zhang Xueqi and the others behind him and said, "Negative, uncontrollable, and mind-affecting keywords must be eliminated. For the rest, I'll try to keep them alive. When the Alien Star Battlefield ends, we'll determine the allocation of resources based on understanding and growth of keywords..."

"Thank you, Du Ge," Zhang Xueqi and the others said in unison.

"So, does anyone have any questions about the upcoming battle?" Du Ge looked around at everyone and asked.

"No," everyone replied in unison.

"Then from now on, we are still comrades who can fight side by side, the kind who can trust each other with their backs, right?" Du Ge asked again.

"No problem," everyone replied again.

Xu Wan and Xiang Jiaojiao's voices were particularly loud because, in that moment, they felt their attributes had grown back.

Turning the hand to create clouds, covering the hand to create rain.

In just a few words, he forced people from the same camp to kill each other, yet they had no complaints and even felt grateful...

Nalan Li secretly looked at Du Ge, increasingly amazed. No wonder his name could intimidate so many Alien Star warriors; his talent and skills were truly formidable.

...

After integrating the team, Du Ge led everyone to the Seventh Army Group's mothership.

Most of the army groups on Bi Xing were air forces with strong mobility.

When advancing on the ground, they needed mechas, but most of the time, the battlefield was covered by drones and heavy firepower.

The commander of the Seventh Army Group was named Du Jianming, a spirited old man in his sixties. When he saw Nalan Li bringing a group of strange Alien Star warriors aboard, he welcomed them but also had a few doubts in his eyes.

"Director Nalan, I haven't formally interacted with Alien Star warriors yet. Can they demonstrate their abilities?" Du Jianming asked with a smile.

Behind him were several senior officers of the Seventh Army Group.

These officers wore neat uniforms and observed Du Ge and the others with scrutinizing eyes.

Further back were more than a dozen ace mecha pilots responsible for his safety. They wore mechas armed to the teeth, with mecha cannons covering all dead angles in front of the commander. If anyone dared to intrude within five meters of Du Jianming, they would face a barrage of firepower.

Before Nalan Li could speak, Du Ge, wearing the Masked Hero mask, appeared in front of Du Jianming.

Slap!

A crisp sound echoed.

Du Jianming received a loud slap.

Before Du Jianming could react, Du Ge had already moved through the ranks of officers and mechas.

He pulled all the pilots out of their cockpits and threw them to the ground, groaning in pain.

In the Academy of Sciences, there was all kinds of equipment, and Du Ge had long prepared a very sharp short blade for himself, specifically for cutting through mecha shields.

From the moment Du Ge made his move to the end, not a single pilot reacted in time to fire the first shot...

After making a round, Du Ge returned to Nalan Li's side as if he had never moved. Under the mask, his lips curled slightly, "Commander Du, do you need each of us to demonstrate our skills for you?"

This time, Du Ge's team made a move, which completely violated the low-profile keyword behavior, so he did everything possible to cover up the loophole. Although offending people was easy, it was the best way to solve the problem.

Looking at the ace pilots Du Ge had pulled out of the mechas, and the red handprints on the faces of Du Jianming and the officers, Nalan Li was stunned. Although Du Ge hadn't admitted it, she knew Du Ge had once slapped the President.

What she didn't expect was that upon first meeting, Du Jianming, who just wanted to assess their strength, a very normal inquiry, was slapped by Du Ge without hesitation.

Slapping the commander was one thing, but he even slapped all the officers behind him.

What kind of problem is this!

Putting on the Masked Hero mask, he's not himself, is he?

Slapping a line of officers, you've offended all the high-ranking members of the Seventh Army Group. They are the most spirited warriors, not the President who considers the bigger picture!

Aren't you afraid they'll shoot you in the back?

Is your keyword really 'split'? Changing identities means changing personalities?

The stunned ones weren't just Nalan Li, but also Xiang Jiaojiao and Xu Wan, especially Xiang Jiaojiao. Her keyword was 'Agility,' and after being boosted by Sang Chao's 'Swift and Decisive,' she once thought no one could match her speed.

But Du Ge's speed seemed even faster than hers?

What is his keyword?

Could it also be speed-related?

No wonder Lin Hong never worried about her 'Ease and Grace.' It turned out she couldn't possibly reach him with speed, let alone dismember him!

If the two of them kissed at their fastest speed, others wouldn't even notice, right?

Looking at Du Ge's profile, and thinking about his speed, Xiang Jiaojiao's thoughts unknowingly went astray...

...

Looking at Du Jianming and the officers' angry eyes, as if they wanted to pierce Du Ge with arrows, Nalan Li's head instantly became big, and she stammered to explain for Du Ge, "Commander Du, I'm really sorry. Alien Star warriors are unruly and hard to tame. I haven't completely subdued them yet. Lin Hong's keyword is 'split,' and he has several different personalities. Sometimes, even he can't control what he does..."

Du Jianming glared at Du Ge, having to use anger to cover his shock.

He had watched videos of Alien Star warriors online and thought they would be formidable, but he never imagined they would be this formidable. If that guy had murderous intent just now, the Seventh Army Group's high command would have been wiped out.

"Nalan Li, no need to explain to him," Du Ge said, "I've slapped the President before, so slapping another commander doesn't matter. The higher the position of the person I slap, the stronger my power becomes. Now, I've only slapped the President and the commander. In the future, I will go to the space front to slap the Hill people's generals and leaders. Commander Du is magnanimous and will forgive me, right?"

A perfect step was handed over.

Du Jianming paused, then clapped his hands and laughed, "Well said, as long as we can slap more Hill people, this slap was worth it..."

"Commander Du is indeed magnanimous," Du Ge praised, looking at Du Jianming, "I am a peace-loving person. If one day I can help Bi Xing defeat the Hill people, if you still hold a grudge, feel free to slap me back, but on the battlefield, I hope you don't hold a grudge."

"Young brother, you're overthinking. Below, there are unruly Alien Star warriors, and above, there are alien invaders constantly threatening Bi Xing. You helping us is already something I'm very grateful for. How could I possibly stab you in the back?" Du Jianming laughed heartily, "As for slapping, it won't happen. If you can help Bi Xing defeat the Hill people, what's another slap on this side of my face?"

"Commander Du is noble," Du Ge smiled and cupped his hands.

"You're too kind," Du Jianming returned the gesture.

Nalan Li was dumbfounded.

She swallowed her saliva. Was the slapping issue resolved just like that?

What kind of amazing social skills are these?

The longer she interacted with Du Ge, the more she felt like a failure. Over ten years of special agent training really felt like child's play...

"Commander Du, do my companions still need to demonstrate their abilities?" Du Ge asked with a smile.

"If they can demonstrate, they naturally should. Knowing each other's strengths is the key to winning a hundred battles. Understanding your abilities will help us coordinate better. The Alien Star warriors of Malta are strong, and we'll rely on you to attack them," Du Jianming's gaze fell on Xu Wan and the others, smiling, "But there's no need to demonstrate your skills on this old man. I'm too old to take a few slaps!"
