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

Your actions are likely to be imitated by those of lower status than you.

Du Ge's interface flickered.

He was delighted and, while Wu Chang wasn't paying attention, quickly checked it. Sure enough, there was a new skill.

Clearly, this skill had evolved from loyalty.

Taking this skill alone would be useless on the Alien Star Battlefield. At most, after he helped Luo Shuang become the emperor, he could cultivate a group of loyal ministers for the country and the people.

But if he linked this skill with "A single move affects the whole situation," the effect would be terrifying.

As long as his status was high enough, everything he did, every word he said, every piece of clothing he wore, and every food he ate could quickly set off a trend.

His attributes were about to skyrocket again.

As long as his position was high enough, it wouldn't matter if he had no attack or defense skills, as long as he wasn't affected by mind-control skills.

He could completely dominate with sheer force.

Unfortunately, Luo Shuang's influence was too low.

...

As expected.

When Du Ge awakened his new skill and led the group on their journey again.

His actions of mounting and dismounting his horse began to be unconsciously imitated by Tong San and the other assassins.

Not long after he added the catchphrase "You know" to his speech, the people in the team started using "You know" in their conversations.

After he added a small action of rubbing his temples, it didn't take long for the people around him to start rubbing their temples unconsciously...

...

The imitation by those around him was completely unconscious.

One had to admit, the influence of the skill was impressive.

A small-scale trend was still a trend.

The trend of gender equality continued to spread, and Du Ge's attributes kept climbing.

He couldn't really feel the improvement brought by creating small trends, but along the way, he tirelessly kept doing small actions. After all, he had nothing better to do, and any increase in attributes was a gain.

...

After being influenced by Du Ge, Tong San and the others were utterly devoted to Luo Shuang, no longer entertaining any other thoughts.

In fact, as assassins trained by the organization from a young age, they were trained to follow orders and had little room for retreat.

Traveling day and night.

Three days later.

Du Ge and his group caught up with Huangfu Yue's rebel army at a place called Yutang Pass, near the border of Chongming Kingdom.

Yutang Pass was located in a canyon, built against the mountain, easy to defend and hard to attack. It was a fortress leading to the border of Chongming Kingdom.

To be precise, it was the third line of defense of Chongming Kingdom against Qingwu Kingdom.

At this moment.

The gates of Yutang County were tightly closed.

On the city walls, soldiers were seen ready for battle, and the flags fluttering in the wind bore a large "Yue" character.

Huangfu Xing's army was camped outside the city, not attacking. Perhaps they had pursued too quickly and didn't bring siege equipment, or they were waiting for reinforcements.

...

"Master, if Yutang Pass is a trap for us, once we enter, we might never come out." Hiding in the dense forest halfway up the mountain, Luo Shuang looked at the tall checkpoint and the opposing forces inside and outside the pass, her face filled with worry. "Moreover, if we want to enter now, we can only force our way in."

Tong San and the others also looked uneasy.

They were indeed Earth-ranked assassins, but they practiced assassination techniques and lightness skills.

If they were to enter a battlefield, they would be chopped into pieces in minutes.

The soldiers in this world had specialized cultivation techniques, suitable for both attack and defense, simple and practical. The more people there were, the greater the power they could unleash.

Unless one was a grandmaster, no martial arts expert could contend with an army.

There were also experts within the army.

Chongming Kingdom's General Cao Lin was from the army and had forced his way into the ranks of grandmasters through military cultivation techniques.

An innate expert might escape an army's encirclement, but they could never defeat an army of over a thousand head-on.

Wu Chang stared at the opposing forces, silent.

Indeed.

The battlefield was the most suitable place for his keywords, with super-strong recovery and agile skills. As long as his head wasn't chopped off, he could be the most formidable general...

Unfortunately, the high-ranking officials of Chongming Kingdom were controlled by Alien Star warriors. Entering the army as an Alien Star warrior would be suicidal.

Sighing inwardly, Wu Chang glanced at Du Ge. After dealing with Huangfu Yue, He Xu would probably let him lead the troops!

...

Du Ge stared at the moat outside Yutang Pass, pondering for a moment. "Rest and prepare, we'll enter the pass at night."

The moat's water was drawn from inside the pass, which meant Yutang Pass definitely had a water source, either a stream from the mountain or an underground river.

As long as there was water, he dared to confront even a grandmaster.

In a few days, the top ten rankings would be announced, and he couldn't afford to play it safe any longer.

Since he had to take this step sooner or later, the sooner the better.

Moreover.

He had the advantage of momentum.

...

Night quickly fell.

The group, having rested and regained their strength, moved through the dense forest, heading straight for Yutang Pass.

The Dragon Fang members were all skilled in lightness skills, and the steep cliffs posed no challenge to them. The weak links in the team were Luo Shuang and Wu Chang.

Wu Chang's keyword was bravery.

A night raid on an enemy city was the best way to showcase bravery. Even if he hung down the cliff, as long as his head wasn't smashed to pieces, any injury could be instantly healed.

The Fourth Princess herself had martial arts skills.

In the past twenty days, under Du Ge's supervision, she had diligently practiced, her skills improving rapidly. Although her abilities were only on par with Shadow-ranked assassins, she had no problem moving through the dense forest.

As for how to descend from the cliff into Yutang Pass, it was easily solved. After apologizing to the princess, Du Ge simply and decisively carried her on his back.

These days.

Du Ge's attributes had skyrocketed, his level approaching that of an innate expert. Carrying someone while flying was no problem at all.

Luo Shuang clung to Du Ge's back, feeling his solid back, her eyes shining brightly, feeling incredibly safe. The longer she spent with Du Ge, the more she realized this man genuinely cared for her.

Otherwise, with Du Ge's abilities, if he had assisted someone else, he would have soared to great heights by now.

Previously, she had thought of finding someone to balance Du Ge.

Now she thought, if Du Ge truly desired the throne, why not give the world to him?

If Du Ge had an attribute, it would be protection!

...

More than twenty people leaped from the cliff, heading straight for Yutang Pass.

Yutang Pass was prepared for experts entering from the cliff. Someone triggered a mechanism, and with a rapid ringing of bells, countless arrows shot towards the cliff from unknown locations.

Below the cliff, a giant net over fifty meters long sprang up, covered with densely packed blades glowing blue, clearly poisoned.

Caught off guard.

An assassin was hit by an arrow, grunted, and fell onto the giant net below, struggled for a moment, then went still...

Wu Chang, with the weakest lightness skill, relied on his strong recovery ability.

After the corpse fell onto the net, he immediately followed, crashing into the sprung net.

He swung his sword at the net, but after several strikes, the net remained intact, made of some unknown material.

Unable to cut through the net, Wu Chang stopped trying, stepping on the net, braving the rain of arrows, and charged into the city. In no time, his body was pierced by over twenty arrows.

Tong San and the others had to dodge the arrows and use their lightness skills to avoid falling onto the poisoned net, making them flustered and unable to speak.

Among them, Du Ge was the most composed. He skillfully deflected the arrows aimed at him and the Fourth Princess, stepping on the poisoned net, and with a few leaps, reached the top of the city wall.

He even drew a stream of water from the moat, freezing it into ice blocks, and threw them onto the net, providing footholds for Tong San and the others.

His attributes were constantly improving, his recovery fast, immune to poison.

But Tong San and the others weren't!

He couldn't let all his men die while breaking through the pass.

Standing on the city wall, Du Ge put Luo Shuang down and shouted with true energy, "Huangfu Yue, the Fourth Princess is here to visit. Is this how you treat guests?"
