Apocalypse I Have One More Keyword Than Others
Chapter 572 - - Duge scattered the bait_3

“Brother Lin, I think Ji Mo makes a good point,” Zhu Qinqin said, “The space frontier is too important. We must keep it in our hands; it’s like a ticking bomb. Once controlled by others, all our efforts could be for naught.”
She possessed the Phoenix Nirvana ability, able to resurrect nine times, but even she wasn’t sure she could survive the energy capable of destroying a planet. A bunch of weak people holding a weapon that could obliterate the world—that’s just too fantastical.
“Because of you, the President has even ordered the cutting off of all supplies to space, thinking more thoroughly than any of you,” Nalan Li said coldly, looking at the two. “Aren’t the several billion people on Green Star more important than you?”
If the President said the supplies for the space frontier would only resume after a month, there would surely be no mistakes in the meantime. Rather than contemplating entering the space frontier, it’s better to consider how to deal with the Alien Warriors within a month’s time."
“Nalan Li, you don’t understand Alien Warriors at all…” Zhu Qinqin retorted sharply, “As long as they can win, they don’t care what means they use!”
“Alright, both of you, say no more,” Duge interrupted their argument, “Nalan Li is right, we should first control the Alien Warriors on the planet. If we really can’t control them, then we can consider the space frontier. Zhu Qinqin is also right; we need to be wary of desperate Alien Warriors breaking through to the space front. The President has given us a month. We’ll try to compress our timeline to within half a month…”
The three women exchanged looks and fell silent.
Seeing them quiet down, Duge called Xu Wan, “Xu Wan, where are you?”
“We’re still in New Goldflower City,” Xu Wan’s voice sounded a bit embarrassed, “Brother Lin, we didn’t expect things to blow up this big. The people from the Bell Star Alliance are simply crazy. Luckily, we had Swift Battle with us, or else we would’ve been done for. The folks from the Bell Star Alliance escaped on their Escort Ship, and we can’t catch up with them…”
“Gather your team and meet me at the Seventh Group Army,” Duge ordered, cutting her off.
“Are we going after the people from Nine Dragon Star?” Xu Wan’s voice suddenly became excited, “Will you be joining us?”
“Yes, we’ll act together,” Duge said, “Come as quickly as you can.”
Having said that,
he hung up the phone and contacted Gao Ming.
The call connected almost instantly, and Gao Ming’s voice came through, “Brother Lin, what’s up?”
Duge said, “Old Gao, you are going to have to take a risk for me this time.”
“Brother Lin, what are you talking about, even if I have to give you my life, it’s no big deal!” Gao Ming chuckled, “Just tell me what you need; I’ll do it, even if it’s at the cost of my life.”
“Gather people on Qiyuan Star under Duge’s name,” Duge instructed, “Get your Doomsday Church moving, emulate my style, expand as much as you can…”
“Brother Lin, is it time for a big move?” Gao Ming’s voice clearly perked up.
“Right,” Duge affirmed, “Issue an invitation to the people on Ceres Star to form an alliance with them, join forces to drive out people from other planets…”
“Okay,” Gao Ming agreed readily, not the least concerned about the danger of the task Duge had assigned to him; after all, his keyword for this play was desperation, and crucially, he did not possess Duge’s ability to dominate any situation.
“I’m sending Feng Zhong there to cooperate with you.”
Duge was aware that his move had pushed Gao Ming into the eye of the storm, and after a moment’s thought, he provided him a way out; Feng Zhong’s Peak Return ability wasn’t reliable, but there was always a fifty percent chance of betting on a win.
But the task had to be done by someone. To take on one power after another wasn’t time-efficient enough, so using bait to fish was essential.
His keyword was low profile. Once exposed, his strength would definitely suffer a substantial loss. At this critical juncture, he couldn’t afford to have his power compromised.
After hanging up with Gao Ming, Duge fell silent for a moment, then turned to Nalan Li and said, “Nalan, issue a notice through the war network stating that the Doomsday Church is merging into the National Defense Bureau, and the Sect Hierarch Tung Nia will collaborate with the National Defense Bureau to crack down on the superheroes that caused the New Goldflower City tragedy…”
If one was to act, then one should act decisively.
That was the glaring Duge style…
Duge didn’t believe the remaining Alien Warriors could keep still if three forces united against them.
