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

The Alien Star warriors behind the Pope had no idea that Du Ge would suddenly make an appearance. As a result, Viscount Vils's slander had not yet spread, and it did not significantly affect Du Ge's reputation.

Soon after, he received news of Holly's Nation of Justice being renamed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

And then.

He was stunned, instinctively swallowing hard.

The Pope's expression remained calm and composed. He did not get angry over the slander against Du Ge. Noticing the emotional fluctuation of the person beside him, he asked, "Nobu, what happened?"

"Pope, Du Ge is the most powerful evil god from the last Alien Star Battlefield," said the Alien Star warrior called Nobu, visibly shaken. "In the last world invaded by evil gods, he established a kingdom in a few months, slaughtered all the world's strongmen, and devoured thousands of evil gods to strengthen himself. I never expected him to reveal his identity so early..."

Beside the Pope, Viscount Vils, Holly's father, was as pale as a sheet.

He had learned about Holly's actions later on and still held a sliver of hope deep down that Holly was truly his son, favored by the Sea God. But Du Ge's revelation of his identity ruthlessly stripped away his last bit of hope.

He hoped that this time the Pope would kill him and help the Araus family regain its glory.

"Vils, Du Ge has won people over with benefits; no one will believe you," the Pope smiled gently. "Once I defeat him, all conspiracies and evil will vanish under the sunlight. When he dies, the people will naturally know the truth."

After speaking.

He turned back to Nobu and asked, "Nobu, what are Du Ge's abilities?"

"I don't know." Nobu shook his head. "Every time an evil god enters a new world, their abilities change. What I am certain of is that Du Ge's abilities must be related to justice or power, possibly even judgment. After all, he has executed several nobles under the guise of judgment. Pope, you must be wary of his judgment when fighting him."

"In front of me, he won't have a chance to speak," the Pope smiled gently. "He may be powerful, but he knows nothing about this world's rules. He actually wants to duel me in the sunlight. He must have forgotten why I worship the Sun God..."

"Your Holiness, if you truly defeat Du Ge, could I deliver the final blow?" Nobu looked at the Pope, tentatively asking, "I can absorb the power of other evil gods to nourish myself. If I become stronger, I can provide you with more effective support."

Vils glanced at Nobu and instinctively moved a few steps away. He had a natural fear of evil gods.

"Alright." The Pope nodded. "Nobu, have you still not awakened the supernatural power of the evil gods?"

"Not yet." Nobu shook his head dejectedly. "My influence on the world is too small. If we defeat Du Ge this time, maybe I will awaken my powers!"

"Good, I wish you success." The Pope smiled, pointing his staff at Nobu. A soft white light enveloped him. "In tomorrow's battle, you will join me. This divine shield can protect you from three attacks by a ten-star warrior."

"Thank you, Pope." Nobu was overwhelmed with gratitude and quickly stood up to salute the Pope.

Among everyone present.

Only Count Greta's expression was somewhat grim.

Because the Pope had not removed the mental prison Du Ge had set on him...

Although the Pope said that the level of mental power does not determine combat strength.

Count Greta was still uneasy. He even regretted putting all his bets on the Pope.

...

Du Ge arrived early at Bask City.

As expected.

Count Greta, the lord of Bask City, and his family had long since fled.

But within Bask City, ordinary officials were still maintaining order, and the city was not in chaos.

After Grand Duke Lynch and Du Ge arrived, the officials who had been ordered to slander King Holly were publicly judged by Du Ge. After a few were judged, their credibility immediately collapsed. No one believed the words of those without credibility.

Subsequently, the credibility of Du Ge's propaganda increased significantly. However, many people were still observing.

After all.

King Holly was relatively unknown, while the Pope was an established powerhouse.

Although both were ten-star martial souls, not many people favored Holly, even if his policies were more attractive.

If King Holly were defeated, all his policies would be nothing but illusions, having no effect.

They would continue to be exploited by Count Greta.

Supporting King Holly at this time, if Count Greta found out later, they would still be the ones to suffer...

...

Du Ge chose the battlefield outside Bask City.

The small river outside the city was secondary; the main reason was that King Holly cared for the citizens inside the city and worried that the spells might endanger their lives.

At this moment.

Du Ge was accompanied only by Grand Duke Lynch as his assistant, while Old Gao and others watched from the city walls.

Their levels were too low to be of any help in a battle between ten-star martial souls.

Grand Duke Lynch had changed into a new set of equipment, holding a staff and standing ready.

His heartbeat was clearly audible to Du Ge.

"Duke, are you nervous?" Du Ge glanced back at Grand Duke Lynch and asked.

"King, I am not a match for the Pope," Grand Duke Lynch admitted.

"Just do your best," Du Ge smiled. "You might not even need to take action. During the battle, try to use water-based magic as much as possible. The more water you create, the higher our chances of winning."

"I understand." Grand Duke Lynch glanced at the river on the ground and sighed. The river flowing outside Bask City was too small. If only the battlefield were at the Rhine River.

"They're here." Du Ge suddenly looked into the distance. Grand Duke Lynch looked up and saw a dazzling light approaching rapidly from afar, arriving outside Bask City in no time.

When the light dissipated.

Grand Duke Lynch saw that only the Pope and a few unknown bishops had arrived. He did not see the Magic Guild's president, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Du Ge, I am here..."

The Pope's gaze fell on Du Ge, directly addressing him by his real name, implying that he already knew Du Ge's identity.

But after saying a few words, his tone suddenly changed, tears streaming down his face, "Sun God, I have sinned. I harbored thoughts of blasphemy, foolishly wanting to replace you. I once falsely conveyed divine oracles to test whether you were asleep, whether you were watching over your followers..."

These words caused an uproar on the city walls of Bask City.

Blasphemy?

The Pope, the Sun God's representative, actually wanted to replace the Sun God. There was no news more explosive than this!

Grand Duke Lynch was dumbfounded.

The bishops beside the Pope also changed their expressions, looking at the Pope.

Nobu, mixed among the bishops, looked at the Pope who had exposed his own secrets, then at Du Ge, who was calmly watching from the opposite side. His heart was filled with bitterness. Damn it, this damn skill. I told you not to waste words with him, but you insisted on showing off. Now look, your secrets have been completely exposed...

But at this point, having been dragged into this by the Pope, he had no way out. He could only hope that the Pope would put in some effort, kill Du Ge, and then slaughter everyone in Bask City. Only then could his reputation be salvaged, and he himself survive.
