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

Du Ge's personality was filled with restless elements.

Waiting might make things better, but he preferred to take initiative.

Opportunities that come from waiting rely on fate.

Taking action, however, allows you to find more opportunities in the process and keep them in your own hands.

The mountains are high and the roads are long, Yu Xia could only arrive in time with the help of the seraph. Who else could be faster than the ancient gods?

But the alien warriors from the demon realm were ready-made.

...

After discussing a simple strategy with Yu Xia and the others, Du Ge removed the barrier and approached Raphael. He glanced at Elena, maintaining the humble demeanor of a God King: "Raphael, how's the discussion going?"

"I don't believe the Sun God could be invaded by an evil god." Elena was as straightforward and oblivious to the situation as Raphael once was. Her gaze swept over Du Ge and the alien warriors beside him, "No one can erode the ancient gods without being noticed, and besides, your origins are too suspicious..."

That's because you haven't met Adia.

Otherwise, you'd be utterly convinced of my origins.

"God King, I can't explain it to her." Raphael said awkwardly.

"Raphael, you've been deceived by them." Elena frowned, pointing towards the abyss, "If all the ancient gods are eroded, then humanity will have no power to resist the Seven Demon Kings. Holly, Du Ge, and the Du Ge from the demon realm...

Raphael, have you never thought there might be something suspicious about this?

Who do you think resembles an evil god more, them or the ancient gods? If all the ancient gods are eroded, along with the Seven Demon Kings, they would be the most powerful force in the world, merging the human world and the demon realm directly, so why put on a show?"

"..." Raphael was stunned.

Unlike Raphael, who was confused by Du Ge halfway through, Elena had a more accurate judgment of the facts, but without knowing about the alien warriors, no one could discern the true situation.

Behind Elena, numerous angels watched Du Ge, each brandishing their weapons, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Du Ge shook his head at Elena, then looked at Raphael, saying, "Raphael, I plan to enter the demon realm."

"You, a so-called evil god from the demon realm, finally reveal your true colors." Elena sneered, brandishing her holy sword, "Trying to leave now? Too late."

"Elena, why isn't your sword pointed at Raphael?" Yu Xia's voice rang out at the right moment.

After reuniting with Du Ge, she no longer needed to disguise herself and directly used her skill on her.

In Elena's incredulous eyes, her holy sword turned direction, forcibly pointing at Raphael. She widened her eyes in horror, "Damn it, why can't I control myself?"

Raphael's face turned extremely ugly, "God... Holly, I need an explanation."

Du Ge shook his head and smiled, "Does this need an explanation? Raphael, a person should have their own judgment. If I were truly an evil god, would you or she still be alive? Why would I keep you around to cause trouble for myself?"

Raphael was stunned.

"Alright, Elena, put away your sword!" Yu Xia released the skill's control over Elena and activated her charm skill, smiling, "Elena, trust me, I mean no harm."

Elena's fearful emotions were unknowingly soothed.

She glanced at the holy sword in her hand, hesitated for a moment, then put it away and asked, "What do you plan to do in the demon realm?"

"I want to see what's going on with the Du Ge in the demon realm and delay the demon realm's army to buy more time for humanity." Du Ge's tone was calm, as if narrating a simple matter.

"God King, the demon realm is dangerous." Raphael said, "Once you enter the demon realm, you'll be besieged by all the Demon Kings. The demon realm's territory is only a tenth of the human world, and the Demon Kings can easily unite. God King, you are humanity's hope. If something happens to you, no one will be able to deal with the demon realm and the ancient gods..."

Du Ge pointed at Yu Xia and smiled, "With her here, she can match a million angel army."

Raphael suddenly remembered her divine power to control Elena and was stunned, "She can even control the Demon Kings?"

"Raphael, I'm not the only one with divine revelations. When one god falls, a new one rises." Du Ge smiled, "The world must move forward, and the balance between light and darkness will never be broken."

"A new god?" Elena frowned.

"Alright, let's leave it at that!" Du Ge glanced at them and said, "I, Nobu, and Yu Xia will enter the demon realm. You stay here and wait for reinforcements. York will stay here to assist you..."

"God King, what if the ancient gods arrive first?" Raphael asked, "The barrier is one-way. Entering the demon realm is easy, but returning requires breaking the barrier, which consumes a huge amount of energy, needing the combined effort of the Seven Demon Kings."

"If I can't return, lure the ancient gods into the demon realm." Du Ge smiled lightly, "I've told you before, the war between gods and demons should be set in the demon realm. My plan has never changed, even if I can't return and remain sealed in the demon realm, it doesn't matter. Raphael, Elena, have you ever thought that humanity might not need the ancient gods?"

Raphael and Elena were shocked, falling into silence.

"Trapping the ancient gods and Demon Kings in the demon realm might be a new option." Du Ge looked at Raphael, "Raphael, I know you're a righteous angel. Don't let me down..."

What does righteousness mean?

Righteousness means being consistent.

No matter how many misunderstandings, the truth will gradually come to light over time.

The reason Du Ge's character has been maintained until now is not because of his clever deception, but because of his sincerity.

Du Ge truly protects everyone in the world to the greatest extent.

Even without him, other alien warriors would eventually turn the world into chaos, not much different from the apocalypse.

Du Ge had watched many replay videos.

Those who survived until the end, accumulating resources for decades or centuries, would launch a final battle, causing billions of casualties.

For survival, for resources, they didn't care about the lives of the natives on the Alien Star Battlefield.

But the Alien Star Battlefields Du Ge participated in usually ended within a few months, with most alien warriors not having developed. Even if there was war, it mostly involved some high-level figures in the world.

High-level turmoil might cause some disturbance in the lives of the public, but it wouldn't be devastating.

From this perspective, Du Ge was nobler than previous alien warriors by countless times, so he had no qualms about his actions.

...

Under the watchful eyes of Raphael and Elena, Du Ge, Yu Xia, and Nobu leaped off the cliff, broke through the barrier, and jumped into the demon realm.

Just after crossing the barrier.

A scorching aura rushed towards them, and the air was filled with a faint smell of sulfur.

The powerful gravity pulled the three of them down rapidly. Du Ge took out the Sun God's head, released divine power, and held Yu Xia and Nobu.

Du Ge looked back, seeing only a gray sky, unable to see the outside world.

Indeed.

This world favored the human world.

The creatures of the demon realm seemed to have never thought anyone would be so foolish as to jump from the prosperous human world into the demon realm. Du Ge and his companions fell for a long time before being discovered by the patrolling demon realm creatures.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

The garrison outside the town was in chaos.

Two massive black dragons roared into the sky, spewing dragon breath from their mouths.

Du Ge raised his hand and cast a holy light, blocking the dragon breath. In this magma-filled demon realm, the presence of water elements was almost nonexistent, rendering the Power of Poseidon nearly useless.

Fortunately, he still had the more convenient power of the Sun God.

Moreover, he had brought along a super-sized power bank.

"Damn, it's holy light, a follower of the Sun God." One black dragon paused, roaring.

"Is he crazy? Why would a follower of the Sun God willingly enter the demon realm? They must have been pushed down!" Another black dragon said in shock.

"Use your dragon breath on it." Yu Xia used her skill to command one of the black dragons.

The skill to control at will was quite domineering, but unfortunately, it was a single-target skill, only able to command one creature at a time.

Whoosh!

The black dragon under Yu Xia's control turned without hesitation and breathed dragon breath at its companion.

"Reyas, are you crazy?" The other black dragon hurriedly dodged.

Whoosh!

The controlled black dragon opened its mouth to explain, but another breath came out.

At this moment.

More demon realm creatures flew into the sky to intercept Du Ge and the others, the holy light awakening their deepest fears.

Du Ge raised the Sun God's head high, "Whose territory is this? Do you see what I'm holding? I'm here to join the demon realm..."

With divine power.

Du Ge's voice was like thunder, echoing across half the sky.

Bang!

A mass of black gas suddenly condensed in front of Du Ge, transforming into a black-clothed person with black wings and a tail. Upon his appearance, all demon realm creatures ceased their attacks, obediently gathering at his feet.

The black-clothed person looked at the head in Du Ge's hand in shock, "Boderuna? You killed Boderuna?"

"Yes, I killed Boderuna." Du Ge said politely, "May I ask which of the Seven Demon Kings you are?"

"I am Ludius." The black-clothed person pursed his lips, forcibly tearing his gaze from the Sun God's head and looking at Du Ge, "Who are you?"

The Demon King Ludius, born from greed?

Du Ge looked at the Demon King before him and said, "Honorable Ludius, I am Holly Arlaus, a king of a small country in the human world, the god-slayer who killed the Sun God."

"May I see Boderuna's head?" Ludius's eyes glowed with a faint light as he reached out to Du Ge.

"No." Du Ge refused decisively, "Demon King Ludius, I'm here to discuss cooperation, not to submit."

Ludius looked at Du Ge in surprise, "To resist my temptation, you indeed have the ability to converse with me as an equal."

Temptation?

Du Ge was momentarily stunned. Goodness, had he already made a move on him?

The Protection of the People was indeed powerful!

However.

The Demon Kings could use mind-affecting magic to influence others, and the alien warriors might not necessarily hold the upper hand...

In other words.

The details of the alien warriors might have already been leaked.

The Du Ge in the demon realm might not be one of us!

A sense of caution arose in Du Ge's heart, and he smiled slightly, "Lord Ludius, do you want to negotiate with me here?"

Before Ludius could speak, Yu Xia suddenly said, "Ludius, we are friends. Friends should be honest, not deceive or harm each other."

Ludius was taken aback, then smiled at Du Ge, "Indeed, we are friends. Please follow me."

With that.

He waved his hand, and the demon army parted.

Ludius led the way, guiding Du Ge and his companions towards the town below.

The black dragon, freed from Yu Xia's control, hesitated for a moment and said, "Demon King Ludius, that woman has a control skill..."

"No, she is my friend and won't harm me." Ludius turned to the black dragon and shook his head.

The black dragon shuddered violently.

Du Ge turned to the black dragon, smiling, "Reyas, it was just a little joke. Demon King Ludius possesses immense magic power. Who could control him? If he were truly controlled, who here could escape his slaughter?"

A blatant threat!

The black dragon Reyas stared blankly at Du Ge, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes, leaving only one thought in his mind: Damn, Ludius is really under their control, what should I do?

"Reyas, and your black dragon companion over there, negotiations require company, why not join us?"

Du Ge saw through the black dragon's thoughts and invited them with a smile.

The situation in the demon realm was different from the human world, and the activity of the Demon Kings was somewhat unexpected for Du Ge.

He needed to understand the situation of the alien warriors in the demon realm.

So, he couldn't let any creature escape.

These two black dragons should have the highest authority besides Ludius. Controlling them would render other demon creatures insignificant.

The two black dragons exchanged glances, then transformed into human form and silently guarded Ludius.

That terrifying woman could control others to attack, and neither of them was a match for Ludius, so they dared not act rashly.

...

"Ludius, I want to know what's going on with the Du Ge in the sky?" Du Ge walked alongside Ludius, pointing to the sky and asking.

"My friend, are you playing dumb? Isn't Du Ge your most powerful alien warrior?" Ludius laughed, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be the real Du Ge!

Who else could kill the Sun God? Tell me your keyword, and I can tell you more secrets about the alien warriors in the demon realm and help you earn the mental power reward for instigating the war between gods and demons."

Damn!

This one knows everything.

Du Ge was shocked.

He had thought the demon realm would be easy to navigate.

Now it seemed the demon realm was harder to navigate than the human world, with these demon creatures' methods being unpredictable, and the alien warriors likely falling into their traps if not careful.

Once the most fundamental secrets of the alien warriors were leaked, they would become playthings for the Demon Kings.

Unless they could awaken a skill like his Protection of the People to resist mind-affecting magic, no one could escape the Demon Kings' control.

Du Ge had considered several possibilities, even thinking about other planet's alien warriors learning everything about him through skills from Qi Yuan Star's warriors.

But he hadn't considered that the alien warriors in the demon realm were controlled by the Demon Kings.

No wonder the demon realm's army hadn't invaded the human world?

These Demon Kings were likely using his name to recruit more alien warriors as their allies.

The Demon Kings probably discovered that the alien warriors' skills could affect the ancient gods!

Fortunately, he had the Protection of the People, and fortunately, he had Yu Xia. Otherwise, if he had rashly entered the demon realm, he wouldn't even know how he died...

No.

Without the Protection of the People, he probably wouldn't be controlled either. He possessed both the Power of Poseidon and the power of the Sun God. If even divine power couldn't resist the Demon Kings' mind magic, then the ancient gods wouldn't have been able to suppress them in the demon realm.

The angels' holy light should also be able to resist mind-affecting magic!

But neither divine power nor holy light was available to the alien warriors...

Yu Xia's skill had a miraculous effect, and Ludius opened up to him without reservation. Naturally, Du Ge wouldn't beat around the bush and asked, "Ludius, how many alien warriors have you controlled?"

"I have five alien warriors like you under my command." Ludius said proudly, "I must say, Du Ge, your name is incredibly useful. When I reveal your name, those foolish alien warriors fall into my trap without any defense, and they reveal their secrets to me. I'm secretly training them, and once they're strong enough, we'll immediately attack the human world and tear apart those foolish ancient gods..."

Gulp!

Nobu swallowed lightly, immediately switching to Du Ge's skill.

Yu Xia remained calm, staying by Du Ge's side, always having enough confidence and assurance.

Ludius looked at Du Ge with admiration, "Du Ge, you are indeed the most powerful alien warrior. I never expected you to kill Boderuna in just a month.

Your choice is correct. The ancient gods are arrogant, foolish, and dismissive. If you go to them, they'll treat you as an enemy. By cooperating with us, you have a chance to achieve mutual benefit. You help us kill the ancient gods, and we'll help you achieve a top ten ranking."

Sigh!

Du Ge sighed inwardly, grateful he came down early.

Otherwise, if the Demon Kings developed the alien warriors' skills and brought them up, the human world, being a scattered mess, wouldn't be able to withstand them.

Those attracted by Du Ge's name were likely warriors from Qi Yuan Star!

Nan Youlong's previous approach wasn't wrong. Any secret codes or alliances had huge drawbacks. Once accustomed to cooperation, trusting a particular companion could lead to total annihilation.

Du Ge was silent for a moment, then asked, "Ludius, what are the keywords of the alien warriors you've gathered?"

"My friend, you tell me your keyword first." Ludius asked, "Friends should be honest, right?"

"Justice, my keyword is justice." Du Ge smiled and said.

"And theirs?" Ludius asked.

"Temptation and courage." Du Ge casually made up two keywords and asked with a smile, "Your turn, Ludius."
