Chapter 506: A Turn of Events |
"Long Ye, you don't suspect I'm colluding with Du Ge, do you?"
Zhang Yueru instinctively took a step back, standing shoulder to shoulder with Su Miao, and frowned, "Du Ge said he wants to dominate the game. To do that, he needs more people to cooperate with him. At that time, he let many people go. Just because he said a few words, you suspect me? His real goal is achieved."
"Yueru, I just find Du Ge's actions unusual, not suspecting you. Let's stick to the original plan."
Long Ye couldn't see anything unusual about Zhang Yueru, so he smiled and looked away, but he couldn't hide his anxiety.
Logically speaking.
With Ou Yuancheng's surveillance, they were essentially playing with open cards. No Alien Star warrior could evade a month's surveillance.
To grow and win people's hearts, it's impossible to hide keywords and skills.
Yet Du Ge was as slippery as an eel, managing to shroud himself in a thick fog under their full surveillance, making it impossible to see through or guess his intentions...
He hated opponents like this!
The same scene played out on other factions' ships.
The external manifestation of budding affection wasn't so obvious.
After all.
The skill description of budding affection only unconsciously attracts the opposite sex, making them curious about Du Ge. Only after contact and exploration would they develop feelings of admiration.
Unless they were like Ying Fei, Xu Wan, or those like Gu Qingyan and Shen Yuning, who had been deliberately pursued by Du Ge.
Otherwise.
Most of the opposite sex would only feel something when hearing Du Ge speak and being influenced by him.
Usually, they had their own rationality and judgment, although sometimes they might feel conflicted and confused.
But most of the time, reason could overpower emotion, and at least they themselves wouldn't think they had any feelings for Du Ge.
...
"Lu Tingjie, are you an idiot? You believe whatever Du Ge says? In that situation, if I hadn't said that, would he have let me go?"
"Huang Li, you trust that Wu Yanlong, who never shows his face, but not me? I was one of the first to come to you. Without me, you wouldn't have been able to establish the Benevolence Association. I contributed at least half..."
"Du Ge says a few words, and you all get suspicious. Why bother fighting him? Just surrender and live a few more days..."
"Du Ge is so strong. Have you seen anyone defeat him head-on in battle? You believe such obvious attempts to sow discord?"
"Once we disembark, I'll be the first to strike at him, okay?"
...
Various explanations temporarily dispelled the suspicions of the Alien Star female warriors who had interacted with Du Ge.
But no matter what, cracks had formed.
Ou Yuancheng, who was monitoring the ships, reported the situation to Long Ye.
Long Ye was stunned for a moment, feeling even more depressed. Du Ge really had taken psychological warfare to the extreme!
Forcing himself to stay focused, Long Ye said, "Zhang Yueru, use a private channel to notify all ships that Du Ge's words are meant to disrupt morale. The more he says, the more it proves he's guilty. Don't fall for his tricks..."
...
The area of the Dewei Base was enormous.
You could say it was a medium-sized city, with buildings standing tall, all covered by a huge transparent dome.
Inside the dome, the temperature and gravity were constant, with heavy machinery shuttling back and forth, continuously expanding the base.
Originally, the Dewei Base was built for space research projects, but after the Hill Civilization invasion, it was converted into a military base.
After the garrison arrived, the base area was insufficient and has been under expansion ever since.
Countless warships and drones patrolled the skies, with heavy weapons on the ground aimed at space or Bi Xing, ready to fire at any moment.
The garrison in the base wore similar attire to those on Bi Xing, only donning mechas or spacesuits when patrolling or working outside.
The garrison at Dewei Base was at least of senior mecha pilot level, with ace pilots everywhere. The space front was Bi Xing's true elite.
Alien Star warriors from various factions landed almost simultaneously, a result of pre-departure discussions to avoid conflicts.
With some on the ground and others in the sky, each warship was equipped with powerful weapons. A single misfire could lead to mutual destruction, and no one wanted that.
As for concentrating fire on Du Ge's mothership?
That's a joke!
If they attacked Du Ge, Bi Xing's ammunition would rain down on them. Who would be foolish enough to risk their lives for someone else's gain?
So.
The Alien Star warriors preferred to all land at Dewei Base and then launch an attack on Du Ge.
Several factions besieging one, who would have the last laugh depended on individual luck...
...
Strike first to gain the upper hand, strike later and suffer.
All the Alien Star warriors disembarked with this mindset.
And the first thing the officials, tycoons, and the public they held hostage did after disembarking was rush towards the Dewei garrison.
No one was a fool.
With tensions high among the Alien Star warriors, a fight could break out at any moment. Why stay and risk becoming cannon fodder?
Besides!
Dewei wasn't Bi Xing, relying entirely on the protective dome for gravity and oxygen. If these superhumans got carried away and broke the dome, they'd be the ones to die.
The garrison had emergency defense measures in place.
The Alien Star warriors wanted this effect too.
In chaos, they could better hide themselves.
After all, Du Ge had two Alien Star warriors capable of summoning people remotely. If exposed and summoned, it would mean certain death, with no chance to fight back...
...
As soon as Zhang Xueqi disembarked, he raised a banner: "Alien Star warriors, jump up..."
Before he finished speaking.
Over a dozen Alien Star warriors, who hadn't closed their eyes, instinctively jumped up. A shadow flashed by, and those who jumped were instantly torn apart.
Zhang Xueqi didn't fare well either. After saying just one sentence, his raised banner, along with his clothes, turned to dust, leaving him standing naked, holding an empty pole.
Immediately after.
The Bi Xing public, who had been running in one direction, suddenly seemed to hit a wall, panicking and running chaotically, unable to escape the battlefield.
Even some of the garrison maintaining order in the distance were affected. Anyone moving wouldn't follow their original path. Those intending to go left would suddenly turn right.
As chaos erupted, howls echoed throughout the Dewei base, with random people raising their heads and howling.
"What the hell is this, howl~!"
Du Ge watched the chaotic scene, a black line on his forehead. As he involuntarily howled, his face darkened further.
His perception could cover the entire Dewei base, but with at least tens of thousands disembarking from the ships, even he found it hard to distinguish the Alien Star warriors who remained still.
"There's disorder~howl!" Gao Ming responded to Du Ge, but after saying two words, he too howled. The body he possessed was that of a sixteen-year-old girl, making even his howls sound particularly charming.
"Howl~ there might be howling too!" Feng Zhong said with a dark face, "Howling is meant to deal with Zhao Mei's long conversations~howl~"
"Happy—chaotic—win in chaos—winner takes all—"
What the hell are these keywords?
Du Ge's eye twitched, speechless. He had anticipated chaos but hadn't expected it to be this extreme.
In the crowd, someone was even playing a game of idiom chain, and it was unclear which weirdo had awakened such a useless skill. How did they even have the nerve to make it to the finals?
Du Ge had fought in the Alien Star Battlefield three times.
But the most he had faced in a team battle was over twenty people. This time, the scale had suddenly increased to three hundred, and the level of chaos was beyond his expectations.
With all sorts of skills stacked together, it was impossible to fight.
In fact.
He wasn't the only one bewildered; Wu Yanlong and others were too. Wu Yanlong had indeed planned and thought of using the chaotic crowd to trouble Du Ge.
But Wu Yanlong had never experienced a chaotic battle scene with over three hundred Alien Star warriors. Planning and actual combat were two different things.
The assassination plan targeting Meng Lanyun and Zhao Mei was impossible under such circumstances. Under the influence of disorder, the stealth assassins he arranged couldn't even approach Du Ge...
In this situation.
There were two ways to resolve it: one was to stop the disorder;
The other was Ji Mo beside Du Ge, whose skill could cover the entire field and remove all negative states;
But this skill could only be used three times a day, and Wu Yanlong hoped to use this to deplete one of Ji Mo's skills, so that his over two hundred Alien Star warriors could exert greater power in the upcoming battles...
...
"Du Ge, howl, should I clear the negative effects? Howl~~!" Ji Mo asked.
"Can't even find the enemy, howl~ clear what? Howl~"
Du Ge spoke while howling, his emotions inexplicably starting to become agitated.
As more people howled, he was almost unable to speak normally. It seemed this skill worsened over time, and soon he might only be able to howl when he opened his mouth.
In the crowd, the idiom chain began to show its power. Those who couldn't come up with an idiom had their heads explode with a bang, brain matter splattering, collapsing to the ground, lifeless, triggering a series of screams...
This was also a deadly skill!
Damn it!
There really were no useless skills!
If this continued, the idiom chain combined with howling might clear the field.
After all, when it was your turn to continue the idiom chain, an unexpected howl could cause you to fail.
Controlling the field was damn difficult...
Du Ge's perception covered the entire field, pondering how to resolve the current stalemate. If this dragged on, he might really lose.
This time, he had overestimated himself!
"Old Feng!"
Du Ge called to Feng Zhong beside him.
Time to take a gamble!
"Alright."
Feng Zhong nodded and activated his skill, "A Turn of Events," and after using it, he began to nervously monitor the situation on the field.
"A Turn of Events" was a luck-based skill, and who knew whether the upcoming events would improve or worsen?
"Old Gao, you too~howl!" Du Ge then instructed Gao Ming. Since the opponent wanted to create chaos, he would add more fuel to the fire.
When it came to winning in chaos, he was the ancestor.
Gao Ming nodded.
He directly used the skill "Despair" on the crowd in front of him.
"Despair" was a group skill that could make the opponent lose their fighting spirit and enter a state of extreme hopelessness and disappointment.
But this skill was linked to Gao Ming's perception range, and when he joined Du Ge, the Doomsday Cult had been almost transformed into the Hope Cult by Du Ge's continuous attacks.
Gao Ming's attributes had nearly dropped to the lowest.
So.
The range of his skill's influence was very narrow.
However.
Even such a narrow skill had a miraculous effect.
In the crowd about thirty meters from Du Ge, a middle-aged man in his forties suddenly held his head and cried bitterly: "Howl, it's impossible to win, I'm done, howl..."
The moment he spoke.
The trace of agitation in Du Ge's heart vanished, and his mind instantly cleared. He was stunned for a moment, damn, it was this person who had stirred his emotions!
Gao Ming's skill was released in an instant.
The middle-aged man, who had exposed himself, suddenly froze. Before he could react, he was involuntarily drawn towards Du Ge's back, summoned by Meng Lanyun.
As he passed by Du Ge, Zhu Qinqin suddenly swung her blade, decapitating him, then smiled at Du Ge as if to say, "See, I told you I'd protect you..."
...
"Yin Feng, Zhu He is dead~howl~~" Not far away, Zou Bing, a Nine Dragon Star warrior hiding in the crowd, saw Zhu He being killed and his face changed, saying in a low voice.
Before he finished speaking.
Du Ge's gaze had already fallen on him, and he smiled at him.
Zou Bing was stunned, his face filled with horror, and he shouted as he ran towards Meng Lanyun, "Yin Feng, save me..."
"Idiot~howl~" Yin Feng glared at him fiercely, suddenly drawing his blade, "Wu Yanlong, if not now, when? Howl~"
As he spoke.
He pulled out a high-explosive grenade from his waist and hurled it towards Du Ge, then swung his blade to decapitate a stranger beside him.
A monstrous blood aura spread from him.
Everyone around Yin Feng suddenly had their eyes turn red.
Each one drew their weapon, driven by him, charging towards Valley God Planet, slaughtering the surrounding crowd as they went.
Yin Feng's skill was "Ferocious and Ruthless," allowing his madness to infect those around him, making them lose their reason and enhancing their combat ability. This skill had a high priority, instantly suppressing the disorder.
Yin Feng's ranking was originally high, but later Du Ge used Bi Xing's people to boost his ranking, pushing him down. His attributes weren't low.
In the blink of an eye, he had carved a bloody path through the chaotic crowd.
...
Damn.
What is this bastard trying to do?
Wu Yanlong's eyes bulged, the Nine Dragon Star warriors were a crucial part of his plan, meant to disrupt the battlefield.
But Yin Feng suddenly leading a charge towards Valley God Planet was unexpected.
However, he quickly understood the reason. The Nine Dragon Star and Bell Star warriors' mission was to break into the top three, or they'd all be wiped out.
They had no retreat.
So stirring up the situation and dragging everyone down was most beneficial for them.
Moreover, Yin Feng probably never gave up on joining the Hill people.
This newcomer to the Alien Star Battlefield never trusted him from the start.
He directly revealed his weapon and started slaughtering, so Du Ge couldn't summon him over, because he'd kill his way through, and his skill likely couldn't be interrupted...
...
"Damn! Howl, whose plan is this? Howl~!" Watching Yin Feng charge at him, Huang Li cursed angrily, "Howl~ using me as cannon fodder, I knew Wu Yanlong had no good intentions, howl~ God said, let there be love, howl..."
A holy light shot up from Huang Li, covering the chaotic crowd.
In an instant.
All anxiety and insecurity vanished, and people's minds turned peaceful, looking devoutly towards Huang Li.
The howling, the idiom chain, all ceased, even the blood in Yin Feng's eyes receded, dropping the blood-stained knife, standing dumbfounded.
Du Ge was also affected by the holy light, looking peacefully at Huang Li.
"Du Ge, don't kill me, I'm willing to cooperate with you, my skill can also remove all negative states." Huang Li said loudly, meeting Du Ge's gaze.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The holy light on him disappeared, and everyone returned to normal.
"Alright, I agree to cooperate with you." Du Ge's response came.
Immediately, there was a series of screams, as Xiang Jiaojiao, trapped in the crowd, seized the moment of recovery to rush to Yin Feng and mercilessly struck him down.
With agility nearly maxed out, Yin Feng and the Nine Dragon Star warriors following him were all torn to pieces.
In Du Ge's plan, the disruptors from Nine Dragon Star and Bell Star had to be eliminated, so Xiang Jiaojiao showed no mercy.
With Yin Feng and others dead.
Lu Tingjie and others suddenly didn't know what to do?
This was completely different from the plan!
Where were the people targeting Meng Lanyun and Zhao Mei?
Should they continue fighting?
