World's End: My Keyword is One More Than Others-Chapter 486

Whoa!

Du Ge?

Struck gold!

No, hit a ghost!

I always knew the Homeland Defense Bureau had him behind it...

Hearing Du Ge's name, Zhang Xueqi choked, his heart in turmoil, but he reacted quickly, interrupting Du Ge immediately: "Don't blink."

People blink about 15 to 20 times a minute, it's an unconscious habitual action. Unless you deliberately control it, you can't change this habit even if your mental power and physique are high enough.

So.

When he shouted, it was already too late.

The moment Du Ge's eyelids blinked, normal thinking returned. He quickly realized something was wrong, and in the instant he closed his eyes, he forcibly controlled the impulse to open them, lifting his leg to sweep at Zhang Xueqi's neck.

In two days, his information hadn't been leaked, giving Du Ge the illusion that Luo Yan's recruits didn't have control-type skills, but he was caught off guard.

However, this one's control skill could be cut off just by closing his eyes, which seemed a bit weak.

Having suffered a silent loss, Du Ge naturally wouldn't hold back. He had always been the one in control, never allowing others to control him. So, he used all his strength in this kick, and if it hit, it could shatter a head.

In the same room, without the restriction of isolating materials, there was hardly any difference between Du Ge having his eyes open or closed.

Bang!

His foot accurately struck Zhang Xueqi's temple.

But the expected head-shattering didn't happen. Instead, a moan of extreme pleasure reached Du Ge's ears.

What the hell?

Physical immunity?

Du Ge raised his hand and slapped him, but still, it didn't harm him in the slightest.

Damn!

Control plus defense.

Du Ge frowned and changed his attack target to Zhang Xueqi's clothes and the flag in his hand.

In an instant.

Zhang Xueqi was stripped clean, nothing left on him.

Sure enough, his skill only worked on himself, not on external objects, and he couldn't dodge Du Ge's attacks or counterattack, proving his own attributes were quite weak...

...

So fast!

Zhang Xueqi was dumbfounded by Du Ge's series of attacks. Although he wasn't harmed and his physical fitness had increased significantly, he was still terrified.

Without his skill of extreme reversal, he would have been dead by now.

Seeing Du Ge pull out a knife, Zhang Xueqi hurriedly said, "Du Ge, I have an immortal body, you can't kill me. We can cooperate. Didn't you just say you wanted to invite me to join the Homeland Defense Bureau's secret division?"

Pfft!

Du Ge's knife sliced across his throat, but no blood flowed, and Zhang Xueqi remained unharmed.

Du Ge frowned slightly, not opening his eyes. Was it really physical immunity?

Could the Power of Poseidon suffocate him?

But this thought was fleeting, and Du Ge abandoned it. It wasn't worth risking himself for a weakling, but his control skill was indeed troublesome.

He hadn't asked for his keywords earlier. If he accidentally revealed the secret of his two keywords, Pan-Universal Entertainment would never let him go...

So.

This person absolutely couldn't be left alive, but physical immunity was indeed a bit of a hassle...

"No one would cooperate with someone who has control skills," Du Ge said. "An immortal body has its own way of being dealt with, like putting you in a sturdy cage and sinking it into the sea..."

Zhang Xueqi's face turned pale, and he hurriedly explained, "Du Ge, my control skill is very weak. My skill is called 'Unique Flag,' and only those who see the flag become my followers. But once they look away or the flag is destroyed, the effect disappears. Now that you've destroyed the flag, you can open your eyes and try..."

Du Ge didn't open his eyes and asked, "What's your keyword?"

"Rebuttal, my keyword is rebuttal," Zhang Xueqi said. He wasn't truly immortal; he could only neutralize the force applied to him. Things like being caged and sunk or finding healing and amplification skills could still kill him.

The key point was, he couldn't harm others either. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sought refuge with the Homeland Defense Bureau, so Zhang Xueqi didn't dare to negotiate with Du Ge using this ability.

"How did a keyword like rebuttal awaken a control skill like 'Unique Flag'?" Du Ge asked, puzzled.

"Maybe because when I rebut others, some people agree with my viewpoint and become my followers!" Zhang Xueqi explained.

"And how do you explain the immortal body?" Du Ge snorted. "I never knew rebuttal could awaken an immortal body."

"..." Zhang Xueqi was stunned. He looked at Du Ge, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Du Ge, if I tell you my skills, can you guarantee I'll survive to the end? In previous Alien Star Battlefields, you didn't kill those who sincerely cooperated with you.

That's why I came to the Homeland Defense Bureau for shelter. I didn't even dare to seek cooperation with people from this planet. Apart from you, no one would tolerate my control skill, even if it's weak..."

That's the benefit of having a good reputation!

Even if someone has never interacted with you, as long as they hear about what you've done, they'll think you're trustworthy!

Just like the timely rain, Song Jiang...

Du Ge nodded, "Alright."

"My second skill is 'Extreme Reversal,'" Zhang Xueqi swallowed and said, "The force others apply to me and the force I apply to others will have opposite effects. In other words, using normal means, others can't kill me, but I can't kill others either."

"Punch me and see," Du Ge said.

Zhang Xueqi looked at Du Ge and swung his fist at Du Ge's arm, afraid of misunderstanding, he didn't dare to attack Du Ge's vital points.

Sure enough, when Zhang Xueqi's fist landed on his arm, Du Ge felt no pain, but instead, his physique slightly increased.

No wonder this guy made a pleasurable sound earlier; it turns out my kick actually boosted his physique.

Rebuttal as a keyword awakened these two skills; this weirdo is a good shield!

First, Zhu Qinqin's immortal body, then Zhang Xueqi's extreme reversal, what kind of attack could take him down?

Suddenly, Du Ge didn't quite want him dead anymore.

"Du Ge, I'm very useful. I know my keyword's growth potential isn't high, but in important battles, I can take a hit for you," Zhang Xueqi looked at Du Ge with hope, pitifully.

"Do you have any clothes?" Du Ge asked.

"Yes," Zhang Xueqi replied.

"Come on, put on your clothes, and let's go out for a bit to test your first skill," Du Ge said.

"Okay," Zhang Xueqi obediently found a set of clothes to put on, asking while dressing, "Du Ge, what are we going to do next?"

"Don't call me Du Ge anymore. In this world, I'm Lin Hong. Du Ge hasn't logged into this Alien Star Battlefield," Du Ge said calmly.

Zhang Xueqi was taken aback, then nodded, "I understand."

"Do you know how to play rock-paper-scissors?" Du Ge asked once Zhang Xueqi was dressed.

"I do," Zhang Xueqi nodded blankly.

"Play a round with me," Du Ge said. To cover his tracks, those who lose to him can't reveal his identity to others. He hadn't defeated Zhang Xueqi earlier, so he had to find another way.

And Feng Zhong, he would have to play a round with him too. Du Ge trusted his character, but these annoying control skills couldn't be ignored!

Staying low-key is most afraid of exposure.

When under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.

Although Zhang Xueqi guessed that Du Ge's sudden rock-paper-scissors challenge might be related to his skills, he couldn't care less. His skills were already exposed, and Du Ge, being behind the Homeland Defense Bureau, had plenty of ways to kill him.

"Du Ge, I'll play scissors next," Zhang Xueqi said cautiously, looking at Du Ge, who still hadn't opened his eyes. He didn't dare ask what Du Ge's skill was; by voluntarily exposing himself, the decision of win or lose was in Du Ge's hands.

"Okay," Du Ge nodded.

The two played rock-paper-scissors.

Du Ge won.

A smile appeared on his lips, "Zhang Xueqi, you lost."

"Yes, I lost," Zhang Xueqi said, not feeling any change in his body, smiling bitterly as he withdrew his hand, "Du Ge, am I considered one of your own now?"

"Yes, as long as you behave," Du Ge smiled, "Next, we're going to find the people from Valley God Planet. You're responsible for finding out their skills, and I'll handle them."

...

Following that.

Du Ge, with Zhang Xueqi, swept through all the Alien Star warriors of the Homeland Defense Bureau except for Xu Wan, verifying Zhang Xueqi's skills.

He indeed hadn't lied. With his flag raised, he could control others, but once the line of sight was blocked, the control was interrupted.

Even if he gave the command not to blink immediately, he couldn't stop those he controlled from turning their heads or blinking unconsciously.

'Unique Flag' wasn't a strong control. Followers would obey his orders but still had their own thoughts and consciousness. Especially blinking, it was impossible to prevent.

The Alien Star warriors had fast enough thinking speed that a blink was enough for them to figure out many things.

Moreover, even if controlled by the flag and became his followers, if Zhang Xueqi gave orders like committing suicide, those he controlled wouldn't obey.

In short.

Zhang Xueqi's 'Unique Flag' was just weak control. Even if Du Ge hadn't blinked at the time, once asked about the keyword, involving the second keyword that threatened life, he would naturally become alert and not reveal it.

Without cooperation, 'Unique Flag' was indeed a chicken-rib skill.

But with Du Ge, it was different.

A momentary control was enough for Du Ge to take down three to five people.

On one side was Zhang Xueqi's flag control, on the other was Du Ge's strong suppression. The Alien Star warriors who sought refuge with the Homeland Defense Bureau couldn't cause real-time harm to Du Ge.

Even if they were from the same planet, the skills they awakened weren't necessarily compatible.

When there were females among them, the failure speed was even faster. Even if slapped by Du Ge, it established a connection with him, and they were influenced by the 'Spring Heart Aroused' skill, unwilling to harm Du Ge further.

...

In less than twenty minutes.

Du Ge, with Zhang Xueqi, figured out everyone's keywords and skills.

However.

The ones who sought refuge with the Homeland Defense Bureau really didn't have any good skills.

The two Alien Star warriors from Valley God Planet, one male and one female.

The male was called Jia Mingyang, and his keyword was 'bad breath.' He awakened a skill called 'Breath of the Sky,' where when he used the skill, the smell from his mouth could spread ten kilometers centered on him, and the stench doubled. The farther from him, the weaker the smell.

Basically, he was a large skunk with no practical use.

He said that the body he possessed had bad breath, and after possession, this skill inexplicably awakened.

Later, even though he ranted online, under the cover of major news, he couldn't awaken a second skill.

The female was called Yu Lian, a middle-aged woman in her forties, with the keyword 'self-entertainment.'

When she possessed, Yu Lian was at home comforting herself with a showerhead, and due to the behavior matching the keyword, she awakened a skill called 'Self-Amusement,' where when she enjoyed herself alone, no one could disturb her, and the pleasure doubled.

But she was strong-willed, and even with a useless skill, she didn't give up on herself and resolutely sought like-minded people on the Battle Network, forming an organization called the 'Self-Entertainment Group,' which advocated self-amusement without being bound by others.

As a result, she awakened a second skill:

'Self-Praise': When she boasts, she immerses herself in her world, ignoring others' gazes.

Both skills were useless. Logically, the safest way for Yu Lian was to hide quietly until the Alien Star Battlefield ended.

But Du Ge published a list of all suspicious individuals, forcing her into a corner. After much deliberation, for self-preservation, she could only seek refuge with the Homeland Defense Bureau.

...

Hearing the descriptions of Yu Lian's awakened skills, Du Ge was stunned. He had seen many useless skills, but he had never encountered one as useless as Yu Lian's.

Of course.

It's possible that similar skills always existed on the Alien Star Battlefield, but those who awakened them mostly survived until the end of the battlefield, remaining unknown and unnoticed, which is why they weren't spread.

It's just that this time, with big data, there's no hiding it.

It's a good thing Pan-Universal Entertainment didn't assign him such a keyword; otherwise, even the Power of Poseidon wouldn't have been enough.

The Alien Star Battlefield is indeed a game of luck. No matter how high one's intelligence, they can't withstand a bad keyword or trash skills!

Of course.

Skills like Yu Lian's aren't beyond redemption. Her first skill, 'Self-Amusement,' is actually a pretty powerful self-preservation skill. With a sharing-type keyword, it could achieve group self-preservation, though the scene might be a bit eye-catching.

Jia Mingyang's bad breath still had a second skill yet to awaken, theoretically leaving a sliver of growth potential...

The remaining Alien Star warriors.

There was one with the keyword 'compromise':

Awakened the skill 'Careless': Anything handled by him would inevitably have errors.

'Half-hearted': When he used this skill, the lazy state could make everyone in the team extremely irritable.

'Ordinary':

'Mediocre': You hide among the crowd, and no one can find you.

'Worrywart': When using this skill, things that were going smoothly would suddenly become full of problems.

...

In summary.

Apart from Feng Zhong and Zhang Xueqi, the others were basically useless, not even worth promoting, let alone fighting.

Poor Luo Yan, if the Homeland Defense Bureau was full of such people, they really couldn't handle the troublemaking Alien Star warriors outside!

Even Du Ge found it impossible to form a team from these useless individuals.

Having seen these people's keywords, even Zhang Xueqi became more confident.

Of course.

Not all were completely useless.

The one with the keyword 'decisive' was pretty good.

He awakened the skill:

'Thunderous': Any technique he used, no matter how ordinary, would have lightning and wind effects.

And another skill, 'Quick Battle': In any battlefield he participated in, using this skill, the speed of his team would increase threefold.

There was also a female contestant with the keyword 'friendly':

Awakened the skill 'Gentle Smile': When she smiled, the anger levels of those around her would gradually decrease.

And a rather outrageous skill 'Heart-to-Heart': She could forcibly pull a target to bed, and as long as she kept talking, the other party couldn't stop.

It's a control-type skill, but the downside is that both parties in the conversation can't be immune to external damage...
