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

"Mr. Holly, you are a good person."

"Mr. Holly, no one is born wanting to be a bad person. If I had met you when I was down and out, I wouldn't have turned to crime..."

"No one would betray someone with a ten-star martial soul."

"Mr. Holly, you are destined to become a legend. I have indeed committed unforgivable sins, but I am willing to spend the rest of my life repenting, becoming a stepping stone on your path to greatness. Only someone like you is qualified to lead this world."

...

Du Ge's martial soul had never been put away, and his perfect body, modified by attributes, made Paul's Sea God image exceptionally perfect.

With Paul as a backdrop, Du Ge looked like a god walking among mortals, making his words all the more convincing.

No one remembered that he was once a good-for-nothing playboy.

"Holly, I have to remind you, even though you have awakened an unprecedented ten-star martial soul and your future is limitless, you haven't fully grown yet. The more people follow you, the bigger the target you become, and the more dangerous your actions will be," Old Gao looked at Du Ge with a complicated expression. "Moreover, my magic is also sealed, and I can't help so many people unseal their martial souls at the same time."

Du Ge looked at Old Gao and shook his head, "Gao, there's no need to persuade me. Since I've made a promise, I won't go back on it."

Old Gao said, "Holly, once it's exposed that you have a ten-star martial soul, your enemies will stop at nothing to kill you. No one will allow an enemy with a ten-star martial soul to grow."

"Gao, pressure creates motivation," Du Ge laughed. "Flowers in a greenhouse can't withstand the wind and rain. The tempering from enemies will only make me stronger."

Du Ge looked at Old Gao and shook his head inwardly. You really don't understand the importance of talent!

Without someone to spread my fame, relying on just a few of you, when will I ever grow?

...

As Simon was releasing the prisoners one by one.

Pan-Universal Entertainment Company was dead silent.

"If I'm not mistaken, Du Ge's martial soul is his image in the Simulation Field, right?" said the head of the Technical Department.

"Yes, it's Paul," said the head of the Marketing Department. "According to Bai Long's report, Du Ge awakened water affinity by observing the Power of Poseidon in the Simulation Field. So, his deep impression of the Sea God makes it logical for him to awaken a similar martial soul."

"I'm impressed. No environment or keyword can stop his rise!" said the head of the Exploration Department. "I never expected that even in such a harsh environment like prison, he could carve out a path and recruit a group of loyal followers. I can already foresee that he will be the top player in this game field again."

"Ross, users are causing a stir on the forums again. Many are shouting about rigging and demanding their bets back," the head of the Network Department turned to look at Ross. 𝐫

"Return my ass," Ross's face lit up with joy. "Tell them that all of Du Ge's actions this time align with the keyword settings, and his martial soul awakening also fits the world rules. Warn those shouting about rigging that if they think there's a problem with the show, they should provide evidence. Otherwise, Pan-Universal Entertainment will file a lawsuit with the Interstellar Court, accusing them of defaming Pan-Universal Entertainment's reputation."

"Exactly, we can't spoil them," the head of the Casino Department beamed. "I have to say, Du Ge has surprised me once again. He managed to turn around such a difficult start, and all the money we lost before has been recouped in this round."

"Du Ge awakened the Sea God's martial soul, so even if he uses the same water magic as in the last game field, no one will say anything!" Ross laughed. "This kid is truly the company's lucky star!

Exploration Department, don't just stand there. Start looking for new civilized planets to prepare for the next game field. Planning Department, get moving too. Create new game rules centered around Du Ge. I want to tap into all of Du Ge's potential."

"Ross, the game field is full of uncertainties. Isn't it a bit early to think about the next set of rules?"

The Planning Department staff hesitated and looked at Ross, "Du Ge hasn't even left the prison yet. His enemies are very strong, and there are gods and other Alien Star warriors on this planet. Moreover, his keyword is integrity, which isn't as easy to snowball as the previous keywords. Du Ge faces many challenges. If he dies, our planning will be in vain."

"..." Ross was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Damn kid, he even infected me with his confidence. I almost believed he was invincible."

Then, he straightened his face and looked at the head of the Planning Department, "Hod, even so, I suggest you quickly come up with a preliminary set of rules for the next game field. You mentioned all sorts of 'what ifs,' but why did you ignore the possibility of him becoming number one? Based on his past performance, the likelihood of Du Ge becoming number one is actually the greatest."

...

After Old Gao helped Lather remove the seal, he reverted to his weak old self.

He panted heavily, glanced at the group of hardened criminals standing behind Du Ge, shook his head, and said to Du Ge, "Holly, this is all I can do for you. The rest is up to you. I hope Lady Luck stands by your side."

"Gao, you've already done enough," Du Ge looked at him warmly. "Orey, you're the fastest. You'll be responsible for Gao's safety. If there's any danger, take him away immediately. We must honor everyone who has contributed to us."

"Yes, Mr. Holly," Orey, who had long since put away his playful demeanor, responded briskly.

Old Gao looked at Du Ge in surprise, let out a dry laugh, and couldn't stop the shame from welling up in his heart.

His vision and heart were far inferior to Holly's.

He had lied earlier; his magic could still help two more people unseal their martial souls, but for his own safety, he chose to hide it.

But he didn't expect Holly to believe him and unhesitatingly assign the fastest Orey to protect him.

It should be noted that Orey was one of the only two people who had regained their martial soul power!

But now, besides feeling ashamed, Old Gao couldn't bring himself to confess to Du Ge. Should he tell him that he hadn't given his all and had kept a backup plan for his own survival?

Old Gao could foresee that if he confessed, Holly would definitely understand and forgive him.

But if he did that, he would never be able to hold his head high in front of everyone again, nor would he have the face to stay in Holly's team!

This damn honesty and integrity had once again put him on the spot, even cutting off his escape route.

In the upcoming battles, he could only pretend to be weak to the end!

So exhausting!

How could there be such a morally upright person in the world?

Such a person would attract more and more followers!

I absolutely won't do this next time, Old Gao secretly vowed in his heart, once again providing Du Ge with a wave of attribute points, moved by Du Ge's nobility.

Of course.

It wasn't just him providing attribute points, but also the prisoners who had been released.

Although they hadn't been with Holly for long, this group, which almost represented all ugliness and evil, had already been conquered by Holly bit by bit.

The rarer something is, the more it's desired.

Except for a few extremely selfish individuals, most of them swore in their hearts to protect this pure and upright kid, to let him live on and become a true ten-star king.

"Holly, you've just awakened your martial soul, so you're not suited for prolonged battles. If we encounter a fight, let me handle it," Lather looked at Du Ge seriously. "If we unfortunately run into the warden, I'll hold him off while you take everyone and leave the prison. Don't worry about me."

"Lather, I won't abandon any of my comrades," Du Ge shook his head decisively, continuing to gain attribute points. "I will fight alongside you."

Lather smiled, "Holly, a true leader should know when to make sacrifices. Just like you sacrificed your family for the Lucerne Kingdom. Consider me your family; my sacrifice will be worth it. Live on, achieve your dreams, and don't waste your life in this filthy prison."

"Lather..." Du Ge looked emotionally at the gray-haired Lather, wanting to say something, but Lather interrupted him.

Lather smiled, reached out, and patted his shoulder, "Holly, you're an excellent kid. Your ten-star martial soul has infinite possibilities. When you become a true king in the future, write my name in your biography."

These words.

Made Old Gao feel even more ashamed. He mentally slapped himself hard. Damn it, why did I hold back my magic? The more people I help unseal their martial souls, the greater our chances of survival!
