Chapter 446: Erased hope
Du Ge didn't want to say more, so Nan Youlong stopped asking. At most, he would go back and watch the recordings. Now, Du Ge could make the entire Qi Yuan Star tremble with a mere stomp of his foot; he was no longer the naive kid who could be easily manipulated.
Who would have thought that from the time Du Ge stepped onto the battlefield until now, it had been less than a year? Watching Du Ge surrounded once again by Alien Star warriors, Nan Youlong felt an endless sense of admiration.
It was fortunate that Bai Long had specifically named Du Ge to go to the Alien Star Battlefield back then.
Otherwise, they would never have hired such a rebellious character. Without Du Ge, Qi Yuan Star might have already descended into chaos due to resource scarcity.
He is the true king; compared to him, Hua Guyun falls far short.
...
On the return flight, Gao Ming approached Du Ge, awkwardly expressing his apology, "Du Ge, it was me who leaked your information. My keyword is 'betrayal.' I originally planned to side with a demon king, and when I met you again, betray him to gain a significant boost in attributes. Who knew I'd be controlled the moment we met..."
"So it was you, kid," Feng Zhong said. "I was wondering how Tedis could know such detailed information about Du Ge."
"Gao Ming, so you betrayed Du Ge and gained a lot of attributes, huh?" Yao Tong teased.
"Not bad!" Gao Ming replied with an embarrassed smile. "By the end, my ranking was in the twenties...""What is your skill?" Du Ge interrupted and asked.
"Pointed by Thousands: The more people curse me, the stronger my attributes become. Selling Out for Glory: The abilities of those I betray are converted into a portion of my attributes, proportional to the degree of my betrayal," Gao Ming explained. "At the time, my target was Tedis. I thought betraying him would be a shortcut to success, but it ended before it even started..."
A useless skill, Du Ge chuckled. "It's all in the past. Who else is in the demon realm?"
"Me," an Alien Star warrior named Liu Yang raised his hand, sheepishly saying, "At the time, the Seventh Demon King Asmodeus called out Du Ge's name to gather people. I got carried away and went over, only to get caught."
"What is your keyword?" Du Ge asked.
"Survival," Liu Yang replied. "One skill is 'Get By': When I lack fighting spirit, others ignore my existence. The other is 'Survive by Any Means': As long as I don't stand out, I won't be killed."
Another useless skill!
Du Ge smiled, "At the time, how many people did Asmodeus recruit? Do you know their skills?"
Liu Yang shook his head, "After being controlled by the demon king, I felt everything I did was right, only thinking about secretly developing myself, never trying to find out others' skills."
Du Ge then looked at Gao Ming.
Gao Ming said, "Tedis was very cautious. I never saw any other Alien Star warriors."
"You guys are too weak," Yin Erchuan glanced at everyone, proudly saying, "It seems I'm the only one who toyed with Ludius."
"Come on, you just got lucky," Gao Ming retorted irritably. "If it weren't for your powerful skills, you'd be just like us..."
"Exactly, you just got lucky; otherwise, how could you have been the first to meet Du Ge," Yao Tong chimed in.
"You're just jealous of my abilities," Yin Erchuan raised his eyebrows. The Alien Star Battlefield had ended, and everyone who survived was relaxed, playfully bantering and sharing interesting stories from the battlefield.
Du Ge occasionally chimed in, learning about their keywords and skills, and finally came to an accurate conclusion: Pan-Universal Entertainment had indeed adjusted the probability of awakening skills back. Most people, except for a few, had awakened two skills.
However, there weren't many powerful skills like Yu Xia's, but with more people, skill interactions could produce some unexpected effects.
The ancient gods and demon kings encountering people from Pan-Universal Entertainment probably wouldn't last long either.
His avatar had fifteen skills, including offensive and explosive ones, giving him a certain chance of winning against combinations of two or three Alien Star warriors. But against more than four, the odds would plummet.
Moreover, after summarizing his skills, Du Ge realized that although he had fifteen skills, he lacked defensive ones.
This was a significant shortcoming, and he needed to find a way to address it in future Alien Star Battlefields.
This time, the skill "Protection of the People" was a good one, but unfortunately, he couldn't bring it back to reality, which was quite a pity.
The probability of bringing back the first keyword skill to reality was too low, likely due to Pan-Universal Entertainment's deliberate control!
...
This Alien Star Battlefield lasted less than a month, but due to the time ratio, eleven days had passed on Qi Yuan Star.
When Du Ge returned triumphantly with a first-place finish, he reignited the enthusiasm of the people on Qi Yuan Star, and his reputation soared to new heights.
Due to the Power of Faith, on the day he returned, Du Ge's mental power surged by 800,000, instantly replenishing the 300,000 mental power consumed by his soul splitting.
Moreover, his mental power continued to grow daily. Du Ge believed that by the end of the year, when the resources were truly distributed, his reputation on Qi Yuan Star would reach its peak.
In the days following Du Ge's return, the elite of Qi Yuan Star almost broke down his door, offering various resources and cultivation techniques they had collected for free. More and more people came to propose marriage, but he politely declined them all, even stepping down from his previous role as Propaganda Minister.
The preliminary work was already in place. As long as he continued to win on the Alien Star Battlefield, his subordinates would naturally promote him.
Du Ge secluded himself in his manor under the guise of closed-door cultivation, but in reality, he focused all his attention on the avatar in the Alien Star Battlefield.
Due to the time ratio, in the few days he had been back, about a month had passed on the Alien Star Battlefield.
During this month.
Pan-Universal Entertainment controlled the bodies of Holly and other Alien Star warriors, engaging in fierce battles with the Seven Demon Kings. However, aside from Du Ge, the other Alien Star warriors, despite having skills, had attributes that were too low, causing the battle to drag on for quite some time.
Du Ge's puppet avatar was forced to participate in the battlefield. It was Ludius who temporarily broke free from Yu Xia's control and, during the battle between Jerome, Tanlivi, Holly, and others, stole Du Ge's avatar, using him as a power source, activating the Sun God's power all over the demon realm, putting out fires and calling for reinforcements.
It was precisely Ludius's actions that allowed Du Ge to witness the power of Pan-Universal Entertainment controlling Alien Star warriors.
Those guys didn't rely solely on skills; each had awakened a martial soul, all of which were bizarre but, without exception, stronger than Du Ge's Sea God martial soul.
The vast demon realm was almost filled by their martial souls.
The martial soul augmentation perfectly compensated for their physical deficiencies, and when fighting the creatures of the demon realm, except for the demon kings, they were virtually unstoppable.
High-level dark creatures like black dragons and dark elves, comparable to Raphael, couldn't last a single round against them.
And the defeated black dragons and other dark creatures had their souls forcibly extracted by the Alien Star warriors. Ultimately, the soulless bodies would fall to the ground.
Du Ge's mind's eye could clearly see that the mental power of those from Pan-Universal Entertainment could envelop souls, and the souls they captured were trapped within their mental power, struggling and wailing, unable to escape...
The Moon God and other deities entered the demon realm ten days later, but their arrival was merely an addition to Holly and the others' feast, unable to make any substantial impact in the battle.
After all.
Yu Xia's skill alone was enough to instantly shatter them, leaving them struggling to hold on. Not to mention, there was Feng Zhong's "Deceive the Heavens and Cross the Sea" and various other peculiar skills.
Nearly thirty Alien Star warriors joined forces, leaving the Moon God and others utterly powerless...
...
Seeing Pan-Universal Entertainment's cleanup of the Alien Star Battlefield through his avatar, Du Ge felt a chill run down his spine, his mind blank. It was his first time witnessing the power of Pan-Universal Entertainment.
It was terrifying!
Compared to the ancient gods, Pan-Universal Entertainment's people were like adults to children.
No, it was more like children to generals wielding knives.
There was no comparison.
At this moment, Du Ge was especially grateful that he hadn't acted rashly before.
Otherwise.
He wouldn't even know how he died!
Those guys had incredibly high mental power, and they wielded it with mastery, conducting a massacre on the Alien Star Battlefield.
Watching the ancient gods and demon kings fall one by one, there was a moment when Du Ge's confidence was almost shattered.
Could he really defeat such a powerful group?
All the strategies and plans seemed like jokes in the face of absolute power...
No wonder Qi Yuan Star had remained dormant for two hundred years, seeing no hope of victory!
