World's End: My Keyword is One More Than Others-Chapter 502

"After adversity comes prosperity," Yuan Xiaoyan said, looking at the two people who had come for a fortune reading, giving a definitive interpretation.

"What does that mean?" Xiang Jiaojiao asked.

"It means that when things reach their worst, they will start to improve," Yuan Xiaoyan explained, looking at the two. "Xu Wan, I don't know what your success rate is based on, but from my perspective, Du Ge's fortune has never been bad. On the contrary, those who oppose him don't have good fortunes.

Even if Du Ge only has a fifty-five percent chance of winning, it's still ten percent higher than the opponent's. I don't know what you're worried about. Do you need a ninety percent success rate to feel at ease? If Du Ge had a ninety percent success rate every time, then no one else would need to compete on the Alien Star Battlefield.

Moreover, I can tell you clearly that Du Ge has never believed in the fortunes I give. He only believes in himself. Fortunes only affect those who believe in them, a truth I understood after a long time."

"True," Xu Wan said with a smile, shaking her head.

...

From beginning to end.

What gave Du Ge confidence was never the tools around him, nor any guaranteed fortune, but his second keyword and the divine power he fought hard to earn.

When his life was threatened, all constraints, morals, and responsibilities became unimportant.

The ones who should really be worried are the people at Pan-Universal Entertainment Company.

If he is forced to use his divine power, it means Pan-Universal Entertainment Company must end the Alien Star Battlefield as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, they will be overwhelmed by angry gamblers. Gamblers allow themselves to lose due to bad luck or lack of skill, but they absolutely won't tolerate losing to someone who cheats.

Those who dare to risk everything can pull the emperor off his horse.

The barefooted never fear those with shoes.

He and Pan-Universal Entertainment Company were never equals. Even if he sacrificed his life, causing only a bit of turmoil for Pan-Universal Entertainment, it would still be his victory.

Unfortunately, Pan-Universal Entertainment hasn't realized this yet. Otherwise, they wouldn't have assigned him a keyword like 'low-key.'

But it's not the end yet...

...

The restless Alien Star warriors made the leadership of Bi Xing uneasy. Now, all they could rely on was Du Ge.

Therefore.

The press conference Nalan Li prepared for Du Ge was of very high standard, with all news media and Battle Network platforms broadcasting live simultaneously.

"Hello, friends of Bi Xing. I am Lin Hong, or more accurately, my name is Du Ge, a player from another planet who has no choice."

Facing the reporters below, Du Ge appeared calm.

"I apologize for meeting everyone in such a manner. Many might not understand what a 'player' means, so let me explain briefly. Players are a group of people participating in a game, and our game field is your world.

In this game, we players are given special abilities to fight for ultimate victory, much like the mecha pilot battles in the Battle Network. But unlike the Battle Network, the only outcome of failure in our game is death.

There are only three spots for victory, and the top three players will receive prizes.

Some might say, 'It's just a prize, what's the big deal? Why not just opt out of the game?'

The answer is, we can't.

Bi Xing's enemy is the Hill Civilization, which is more advanced than Bi Xing, but Bi Xing can still fight.

However, those who control us are from a civilization many times more advanced than Bi Xing. Facing them, we are like ants at their mercy. Our food and energy, our means of survival, are controlled by them. The game's prize is the resources our entire planet depends on for survival.

So, we are not fighting for ourselves, but for the entire planet. Only by winning this victory can the billions of people behind us continue to survive."

Wow!

The reporters below were in an uproar, learning the truth about the Alien Star warriors for the first time.

All the Alien Star warriors following Du Ge's press conference looked grim.

This was the first time someone exposed their identity and the existence of Pan-Universal Entertainment on the Alien Star Battlefield.

Previously, even if their identities were discovered, people would find other excuses to cover it up, fearing Pan-Universal Entertainment's retaliation against their planet.

But now...

Du Ge was too bold!

Many felt a bad premonition, especially Long Ye and Yuancheng, who had put Du Ge under the spotlight.

They exchanged glances, realizing they might have really messed things up. Perhaps Du Ge's keyword had nothing to do with being low-key.

Meanwhile.

Gao Ming and others boarded the mothership, setting off for the Imperial Capital.

All the Alien Star warriors from Qi Yuan Star on the mothership were on high alert, ready to handle any sudden situations.

After Du Ge's identity was exposed, the people from Qi Yuan Star had become the world's enemies. They wouldn't allow themselves to join forces with Du Ge, increasing his strength.

"You guessed right, the superheroes from the Homeland Defense Bureau are like me, players, or as we like to call ourselves, Alien Star warriors."

Du Ge looked at the reporters and the camera in front of him, a mocking smile on his face. "But beautification is just beautification. Strip away this false facade, and we are a bunch of pitiful creatures.

Long-term enslavement has made us lose the courage to resist, taking everything in the game field for granted.

To compete for resources, we kill each other, disregarding the lives of the natives on the Alien Star Battlefield.

Perhaps calling you natives is disrespectful, but that's indeed what we call you.

All natives are treated as chips for our growth, as NPCs to trample at will. No player cares about your lives or whether your world will fall into chaos.

These days.

The rebellion of the Sixteenth Army Group, the independence of the Kingdom of Malta, the independence of the Eighth Army Group, and the establishment of the Doomsday Cult... are all the works of players.

In just over a month, we've turned the once orderly Bi Xing into a mess."

After these words were spoken, the reporters below and all the people of Bi Xing fell into silence, with many eyes showing anger, and some clenching their fists tightly.

"Do you feel angry, hopeless?" Du Ge asked. "But what's more hopeless is that those who did these things think it's all normal.

Because they have a very legitimate reason, they are fighting for their people. If they don't, the billions behind them will also die.

Are the people of Bi Xing wronged?

Naturally, they are.

Because you didn't provoke anyone, yet you suffer this undeserved disaster, which is different from the invasion of the Hill Civilization. After all, that was your ignorance, bringing disaster upon yourselves;

Did the Alien Star warriors do wrong?

They also didn't do wrong. After all, they have people to protect behind them, and they are also fighting with their lives..."

Backstage, listening to Du Ge's speech, Xu Wan, Ying Fei, and others exchanged glances, but no one spoke.

Every warrior who stepped onto the Alien Star Battlefield understood this truth, but everyone was hypnotizing themselves, unwilling to admit this fact. It was just that Du Ge came out and pointed it out.

"Shut up."

A reporter stood up angrily, throwing a water bottle at Du Ge, shouting, "You sacrifice us for yourselves, how unfair is that to us?"

Du Ge reached out, easily catching the bottle, and said, "Survival of the fittest. The tiger eats the antelope, is the antelope wrong? It's not. The antelope eats grass, is the grass wrong? It's not either. This world inherently has no reason, it's just about who has the bigger fist.

Just like the Hill people, they invade Bi Xing simply because their fist is big enough.

If there's anyone to blame, it should be the higher civilization controlling us. They disregard all life, they don't care about survival, only entertainment. They are the true culprits..."

"But it's you who are causing chaos in our world," another reporter stood up.

"To be precise, it's them," Du Ge smiled, looking at all the reporters below. "Some Alien Star warriors exposed everything I've done on the Battle Network to deal with me. If you've looked into it, you should know that everything I've done was to protect Bi Xing.

From initially improving mechas to later establishing the Homeland Defense Bureau to restrain other Alien Star warriors from growing on the Battle Network, and even planning to take all Alien Star warriors to the space front to use their power against the Hill Civilization...

Without me, Bi Xing would be even more chaotic, and perhaps the entire Bi Xing might have been gone.

After all, the space front has weapons capable of destroying Bi Xing, the quickest way to win the game. Believe me, if given the chance, they would do it. If there's one thing I've done, it's probably pretending to be the Masked Hero and slapping the president."

The reporter who had just stood up was stunned, looking at Du Ge in a daze for a while, then awkwardly asked, "Why did you do it?"

"What do you mean?" Du Ge looked at him, smiling, "Are you asking about slapping the president?"

"No, why do you protect Bi Xing?" the reporter asked. "We are unrelated to you, don't you want to win this game?"

"It's simple, because I'm strong enough," Du Ge no longer looked at him but turned to the camera facing him, his face brimming with confidence. "Before this game, I single-handedly won championships in three game fields, securing enough resources for my planet, so whether I win this game or not isn't that important to me."

"No one would mind having more resources," the reporter said.

"Sir, there are always exceptions," Du Ge smiled. "In the course of civilization, there are always those who stand out from the masses, using boundless courage to help others overcome difficulties, using selfless qualities to save others, to help the weak, even if it means sacrificing themselves.

Such people are called heroes.

Bi Xing was able to repel the first invasion of the Hill Civilization thanks to these heroes willing to sacrifice.

The continuous emergence of heroes prevents civilization from extinction, allowing the race to continue. They are a beacon, willing to burn themselves to illuminate the world..."

For a moment, the venue was silent, and everyone below looked at Du Ge on stage.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a hero, I'm just a willful person, I just want to fight against my fate, not be manipulated like a puppet.

Everything I do is to make this game less interesting, to show those high above that even in a game, I can create my own rules.

When I was still Ten Steps to Kill One, I once said that a man's romance is the stars and the sea, to wake with power in hand, and to sleep with beauty by the side. But to fight against a helpless fate, to wield a blade against the gods above, is it not a romance unique to men?"

Du Ge's voice was initially low, but as he spoke, it gradually rose, eventually turning into a roar. He clenched his fist, a mocking smile on his lips, his voice gradually lowering again, with a hint of bitterness.

"I've been through four Alien Star Battlefields, and they are extremely brutal. I don't know which one I'll die in. But before I die, I want to fight, to be willful, even if it allows me to lead the game once, even if I die in this game, my life would have no regrets."

On Bi Xing.

Whether natives or Alien Star warriors, everyone fell silent at this moment.

Du Ge's words seemed to resonate with them.

Gu Qingyan looked at the lonely Du Ge on stage, gently biting her lip, feeling an inexplicable heartache.

What a stubborn young man, she thought, wanting to go up and hug him, to give him comfort.

Beside her, Shen Yuning looked at Du Ge, tears glistening in her eyes, unknowingly clenching her fists.

Du Ge continued, "Bi Xing is suffering, with Hill people eyeing it, ready to invade at any moment, and Alien Star warriors causing chaos on the planet.

This tragic fate reminds me of my own planet.

So, even though I want to fight against this damned fate, I didn't plan to lead everything with my identity.

Because I wanted to leave hope for Bi Xing, I used my identity as Ten Steps to Kill One to inspire the youth of Bi Xing, I worked behind the scenes to establish the Homeland Defense Bureau, to let the people of Bi Xing know that this planet is still ruled by you, not some random alien saving you from disaster.

You defeated the Hill people, you overcame the Alien Star warriors. I hoped you would continue to live with pride, eventually growing into a higher civilization in the universe.

Unfortunately, the competition among Alien Star warriors is too fierce.

All my arrangements were seen as weaknesses by Alien Star warriors from other planets, and they exposed everything about me, letting everyone know of my existence.

I don't know if you will understand me, but in Bi Xing's time of crisis, I must stand up and explain everything to you, because I don't want you to be used by others, I don't want my efforts to be in vain.

Because only by standing up can Bi Xing's losses be minimized.

I know many Alien Star warriors are listening to my speech, so my next words are for you.

If you still have some blood, some dignity hidden in your heart, cooperate with me once, make this game as uninteresting as possible.

Spare these innocent natives, and spare yourselves, let us decide the game's outcome in our own way.

I only ask you one thing, do you dare to wield a blade against the heavens like me?"
