World's End: My Keyword is One More Than Others-Chapter 496: Defying Heaven to Change Fate

Yu Bo alone was too small a target.

In the end, Xin Tianyang, along with Jia Yangming from Valley God Planet, who possessed the "foul mouth" keyword, and Wei Sheng from Blue Star, who had the "mediocre" keyword, joined him to form a small team meant to attract attention.

Jia Yangming's skill, "Sky-high Breath," could spread his mouth's odor over ten kilometers, useful for locating targets.

Wei Sheng, with the keyword "troublemaker," could turn smooth operations into chaotic ones, disrupting the success rate of the opposing team.

As for Xin Tianyang, he could observe in secret and quickly retreat from the battlefield through mirrors...

With observation, location, scouting, and enemy disruption, theoretically, this would be an excellent reconnaissance team. However, if the opponent had control-type skills, no one could guarantee how effective this reconnaissance team would be.

But Yuan Xiaoyan's divination gave everyone confidence. Yu Bo's team eagerly discussed how to expose themselves to the enemy's sight to complete their mission.

...

Du Ge then called Yuan Xiaoyan aside.

This was expected by everyone.

After all, the divination for Qi Yuan Star was "returning empty from a treasure mountain," and Du Ge's smile at the time was forced. He probably wanted to change his fate by consulting Yuan Xiaoyan!

One could tell what Du Ge wanted Yuan Xiaoyan to do by seeing if she returned unscathed.

However, in Fan Lie and others' minds, Yuan Xiaoyan wasn't from Qi Yuan Star and likely wouldn't sacrifice herself to change Du Ge's fate.

Moreover, from a human nature perspective, if Du Ge really forced Yuan Xiaoyan to help him change his fate, the outcome would still be up to her.

So, Fan Lie and the others weren't too worried.

As he said, returning empty from a treasure mountain was still a return; changing it to not even being able to return would be truly tragic.

...

Every room in the Homeland Defense Bureau was equipped with materials to block perception. After closing the door, Du Ge asked, "What is Yu Bo's true divination?"

"Backfire." In front of Du Ge, Yuan Xiaoyan's timid expression vanished. She frowned, "Brother Lin, this divination doesn't bode well. Maybe Yu Bo and the others shouldn't go."

Backfire?

Du Ge was taken aback and asked, "What about the divinations for those planets?"

"Blue Star and Sirius are correct," Yuan Xiaoyan replied. "Zhong Tian Star's Fan Lie's divination is 'drawing water with a bamboo basket,' while Qi Yuan Star's is actually 'standing out.'"

On one hand, it's a backfire; on the other, it's standing out.

In other words, the ultimate victor would still be himself.

Du Ge smiled, "I see. Xiaoyan, well done. Divination serves the team, but remember to tell me the true divinations afterward."

"Brother Lin, do you want me to change Yu Bo and the others' fate?" Yuan Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment and asked.

"No need." Du Ge glanced at her and shook his head. "As long as the result is good, the process doesn't matter. Besides, divinations are never set in stone. Unless you're in danger, I don't recommend using fate-altering skills. It's not worth it for anyone. Skills that don't require a price are the best."

"Okay." Yuan Xiaoyan looked deeply at Du Ge and nodded firmly.

"Good to understand." Du Ge smiled, "For the upcoming plan, let's calculate the fate of everyone in that room. I'll show you what true destiny alteration is."

Not to mention, Ying Fei's "turn of fortune" and Feng Zhong's "twist of fate" could change many predetermined facts.

Yuan Xiaoyan's divination was only for reference. In Du Ge's mind, it was used as intelligence, combined with Xu Wan's precise calculations to deduce a relatively accurate direction, which was enough.

After inquiring around, Du Ge found the crux of the problem.

Luo Yan, his divination was "entangling oneself in a cocoon." As the director of the Homeland Defense Bureau, how could he be entangling himself?

Unless he did something against the team...

...

Control—Homeland Defense Bureau—entangling oneself in a cocoon, these keywords formed a clear thread in Du Ge's mind.

Luo Yan's contact information was public.

Recently, he had transferred all the Alien Star warriors from the Homeland Defense Bureau.

If during this period, an Alien Star warrior with the control keyword contacted Luo Yan, the marginalized Luo Yan might take it upon himself to accept them, seeking a point of balance, which fits his character.

Then he could very likely become a puppet of the opponent, fitting the "entangling oneself in a cocoon" divination...

With Luo Yan as an insider, the opponent could follow the Battle Network's big data step by step to capture over sixty Alien Star warriors in the shortest time.

This was originally what he planned to do next, but the opponent beat him to it.

Luo Yan held many top-secret documents, and the opponent likely already obtained the keywords of all the Homeland Defense Bureau's Alien Star warriors from him...

...

Yu Bo stayed in a hotel on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, logged into the Battle Network, and sent signals to contact people from his planet, executing Du Ge's plan step by step.

Du Ge, on the other hand, deployed his team in several cars around the hotel, sharing Yu Bo's perspective, ready to strike at any moment. Everything appeared normal on the surface.

In Nalan Li's command vehicle, Du Ge shared his deduction.

"Luo Yan betrayed us?" Nalan Li was shocked, then quickly reacted, "Not good, hurry, return to the Imperial Capital, the president is in danger."

Du Ge gave Nalan Li an approving look; her reaction was sharp, always able to pinpoint the core of the issue.

Why would the opponent control so many Alien Star warriors? To win the final victory.

Controlling the president to open the space battlefront was the quickest method, easier than fighting the Homeland Defense Bureau.

After all, there was a hidden big shot behind the Homeland Defense Bureau!

Putting himself in their shoes, knowing Du Ge's plan, using it against him, sending a group to hold Du Ge back while seizing the president was the best strategy, especially since he had plenty of people under him.

"Don't worry, I've already contacted the president. The Presidential Palace's surveillance will be open to us in real-time; they won't succeed."

Du Ge smiled and opened his mini-computer.

Nalan Li looked at the screen, where every corner of the Presidential Palace was displayed in real-time. He breathed a sigh of relief but remained tense, "What if the opponent has the speed of the Masked Hero? The Presidential Palace guards might not stop them!"

"The president isn't foolish. Knowing the opponent's plan, why would he stay in the Presidential Palace?" Du Ge smiled at her, "In fact, after the Masked Hero slapped him last time, he hasn't been in the Presidential Palace. Last time, I wandered around the Presidential Palace and couldn't find him. He's an old fox who wouldn't put himself in danger..."

"..." Nalan Li.

"Nalan, Xu Wan, you stay here and don't move, wait for the enemy to approach." Du Ge smiled, changing the topic, "I'll retreat further with Ji Mo and Meng Lanyun. We'll spread out, so we won't be caught in one sweep. After all, the opponent has gathered too many people; caution is paramount."

"Okay." Xu Wan readily agreed. She could see the success rate, and although she didn't know the opponent's situation, with Du Ge around, the success rate never dropped below sixty percent. Plus, with Yuan Xiaoyan's divination as a base, she was brimming with confidence.

...

Du Ge left a copy of the Presidential Palace's surveillance in Nalan Li's command vehicle, wrapped an arm around Meng Lanyun and Ji Mo, and with a few flashes, disappeared from Nalan Li's vicinity.

Du Ge's perception far exceeded that of other Alien Star warriors, which was his greatest advantage.

When others hadn't noticed, he already sensed eighteen Alien Star warriors rapidly approaching the villa where Yu Bo and others were hiding from three directions.

Eighteen people were enough to hold them in place.

Without knowing the opponent's keywords, Du Ge didn't plan to stay and risk it. If there were indeed strong control skills, Ji Mo's "Sun and Moon in a Jar" would be his last safeguard.

...

The speed of Alien Star warriors was incredibly fast.

In just five or six minutes, eighteen people almost simultaneously broke into the villa's vicinity.

Their division of labor was clear: one team headed straight for the villa where Yu Bo and others were hiding.

Two teams targeted the vehicles where Nalan Li and others were hiding. Upon closer inspection, the two groups attacking Nalan Li's vehicles had their eyes closed.

Clearly, Luo Yan had betrayed them thoroughly.

And the opponent had no intention of sparing them; they intended to eliminate them all from the start.

Xu Wan and the others reacted quickly.

After all, the opponent made no effort to conceal themselves. Once they entered her perception range, they were detected.

The moment they approached, Xu Wan, Xiang Jiaojiao, Fan Lie, Hong Xin, and other main combatants leaped out of the car.

Zhang Xueqi also promptly raised the flag in his hand, but upon raising it, he realized all the approaching individuals had their eyes closed, and he silently cursed.

Xiang Jiaojiao and the others weren't faring well either. The moment they faced the enemy, their bodies felt as if filled with lead, and their movement speed plummeted.

Originally, when Xiang Jiaojiao moved, she was a blur, but now her speed had dropped by two-thirds.

If her speed was reduced, let alone Ying Fei and the others.

With enhanced attributes, Alien Star warriors were naturally fast, but now their speed was only two to three times that of ordinary people, even with Sang Chao's "quick battle" boost.

That wasn't all. Xiang Jiaojiao originally held two long knives, but after getting out of the car, the knives flew out of her hands and stuck to the car, inseparable.

"Damn it, completely targeted, damn Luo Yan." Xu Jiao's face turned grim instantly, "Yuan Xiaoyan, are you sure your divination is correct?"

"..." Yuan Xiaoyan opened her mouth to speak, but her lips moved without making a sound.

When Xu Wan tried to speak again, she too was rendered silent, her face turning black.

The opponent even had a silence keyword, completely countering Zhao Mei's "heart-to-heart," leaving them unable to speak.

Indeed, once keywords were exposed, fighting Alien Star warriors became too easy.

Xu Wan's heart sank to the bottom. At this point, they could only hope for Du Ge, who had left earlier.

...

No control skills!

As soon as the battle commenced, Du Ge instantly assessed the battlefield situation, dragging Ji Mo back to the battlefield at lightning speed.

Upon entering the combat zone, his steps felt heavy, and his speed decreased, but his base attributes were high enough.

With Sun God power within him, under the sunlight, the Sun God could briefly teleport. Even if he couldn't blatantly use it, subtly boosting his speed was unnoticeable to outsiders.

Quickly, Du Ge returned to the battlefield.

Then, he too was silenced.

Fortunately, Ji Mo knew what to do. The moment she entered the battlefield, she activated her "Sun and Moon in a Jar" skill.

In an instant, everyone around her, both friend and foe, stopped their actions, standing bewildered, including Du Ge.

At this moment, Du Ge's mind was completely blank, devoid of any competitive thoughts, feeling as if his spirit had transcended, experiencing what seemed like true life.

The scene was eerily silent.

Three minutes passed in a flash.

When everyone regained their senses, it was as if the battlefield had been reset...

Their suppressed speed returned, and their ability to speak was restored.

"Everyone, stop fighting. Our enemy is the one with the control skill. We should join forces against him."

"Spring Heart" was a passive skill, requiring no operation from Du Ge, but "Iron Man's Tenderness" was an active skill. He immediately extended an invitation to all the women on the battlefield.

With the negative status on Xiang Jiaojiao cleared, she moved with malice, charging at the nearest Alien Star warrior, using her hand as a blade to stab his throat.

Splat!

Caught off guard, the enemy's throat was pierced, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Her hand blade wasn't capable of dismembering him.

But as she moved again, her speed dropped once more. However, with Du Ge on the battlefield, influenced by "Iron Man's Tenderness," her speed doubled. Even with the speed reduction, she was still faster than before.

Quickly, she took down a second person.

"Misunderstanding, we were controlled." A female voice suddenly emerged from the opponent's team, "He's right, we shouldn't be killing each other; we should unite against the one controlling us."

Ji Mo's "Sun and Moon in a Jar" also helped the opponent break free from the control skill.

Xiang Jiaojiao remained silent, continuing her assault.

Du Ge glanced at the enemy, moving swiftly among them, hitting everyone once, casually taking down a few men, and then gestured to his throat.

The opponent realized and hurriedly lifted the silence effect.

"Jiaojiao, I'll handle this side. You go rescue Yu Bo and the others." Once he could speak again, Du Ge quickly stopped Xiang Jiaojiao and instructed.

There were twelve people attacking them, seven men and five women. Now only one man was left. If she continued, she'd be killing their own.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Jiaojiao halted, coldly scanning the remaining opponents before darting towards the villa, moving like lightning.

Clearly, the one with the slowing skill had been taken out, and the skill's effect was lifted.

The remaining opponents watched Du Ge warily, not daring to make any moves.

Clearly, the opponent's strength had exceeded their expectations. Even under the slowing effect, they were the ones losing people, proving escape was impossible.

After Du Ge subdued them, Hong Xin quickly drew a cage at their feet.

"Which planet are you from?" Du Ge's gaze swept over them, asking.

"Benevolence Association, Feng Jingxia," the first to speak replied.

"Commerce Association, Shi Shan," another said.

"Commerce Association, Tao Hui."

"Third Army Group, Bai Yakun."

...

Before they could finish introducing themselves, Nalan Li's voice suddenly came from the RV, "Lin Hong, Luo Yan has appeared at the Presidential Palace with people."

Hearing this, Du Ge swiftly returned to the RV.

On the surveillance screen, Luo Yan led over ten people, openly walking through the Presidential Palace's main entrance.

"Meng Lanyun, Zhao Mei, it's your turn..." Du Ge turned to the two women behind him and instructed.

They nodded.

Zhao Mei made no movements, merely glancing at the screen. Two people suddenly broke away from Luo Yan's team, rushing out of the Presidential Palace. Her "heart-to-heart" could control up to two people.

Meng Lanyun picked up the microphone in the car, speaking in a coquettish voice to the remaining people, "Gentlemen, come and play!"

Saying this in front of everyone, her face turned as red as if it would drip blood.

On the monitor, Meng Lanyun's words echoed through the Presidential Palace's speakers, reaching every corner. The remaining Alien Star warriors, after two companions inexplicably left the team, were initially planning to escape.

But upon hearing this, the remaining individuals, regardless of gender, displayed lecherous expressions, turning and rushing out of the Presidential Palace one after another, disappearing from the surveillance screen in the blink of an eye.
