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

```

"Knowing you'll die and still charging forward—that's a true warrior. Wu Chang, why haven't you awakened any skills? It's because you've never truly put yourself in danger. You hesitate, talk about bravery, but all you think about is gain and loss. How can such behavior be worthy of the keyword 'bravery'?"

"If you don't change, you'll never awaken any skills in your life. When you're useless, what reason do I have to keep you? In my team, we don't keep dead weight. The more useful you are, the better your chances of survival. Moreover, when I do decide to kill you, a grown and skilled you might have a chance to resist, instead of dying worthlessly with just a flick of a finger."

"Wu Chang, life is all about that breath of air. Entering the Alien Star Battlefield proves you're an outstanding person. Are you really willing to live a mediocre life on the battlefield, only to die insignificantly?"

"Wu Chang, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago. Charge forward, fight for yourself, for your courage, for your planet..."

"A true warrior dares to face a bleak life and confront bloody battles. Sticking together with your own people is nothing. Surviving in teams from other planets and securing resources for your own planet—that's a true hero."

"A true warrior dares to charge into thousands of troops alone, without fear. When you put life and death aside, you can truly control your fate, dominate the world, embrace everything. At that time, reaching the grandmaster realm will be easy, and once you're a grandmaster, I won't be able to do without you..."

...

Before the expedition.

He knew clearly that Du Ge wanted him to be a suicide squad member, but he had no choice. Dying later or dying now made a difference.

Moreover.

Wu Chang thought Du Ge made a lot of sense. Since he got the keyword 'bravery,' he couldn't improve his attributes by being hesitant. Continuing like this, he would truly be useless.

If not now, when should he show bravery?

Fight, and there's still a chance of survival.

When Xiang Li and Ge Zong joined Du Ge, their attributes weren't higher than his, but now they were equally famous.

Du Ge was right. When he became useless, there would be no way out.

...

"Brothers, charge with me! Today is the day to make our mark. The Earthly Fierce Army will shine for eternity today..."

With red eyes, Wu Chang urged himself on. Mounted and holding a spear, he charged forward with determination and heroic sacrifice, leading the charge towards Lin Qing's formation, raising a cloud of dust.

On his flanks were the Earthly Alien Army and Earthly Mischief Army disguised as ordinary soldiers, tasked with disrupting Lin Qing's formation unexpectedly.

...

"A true warrior indeed!"

In the rear formation, Cao Lin, disguised as an ordinary soldier, looked at Wu Chang's back with undisguised admiration. He had fought his way up from the bottom and admired warriors like Wu Chang who led by example. 𝔯

"Yes, a true warrior. I hope he can survive Lin Qing's arrow rain!" Du Ge watched the battlefield expressionlessly, with a hint of helplessness in his heart.

He knew that compassion had no place in commanding soldiers, but on the battlefield, he found it hard to watch ordinary soldiers being sent to their deaths like fodder.

This was why Du Ge always led by example, even when fighting Cao Lin. He charged ahead, not wanting ordinary people to be caught in the Alien Star warriors' battles and lose their lives meaninglessly.

Alien Star warriors were innocent, but so were they.

But this time, he really had no choice...

Perhaps one day, on the Alien Star Battlefield, he would become as hard-hearted as iron.

...

"Wu Chang?"

Hiding in the arrow tower behind the army, Shen Yu looked at the dense soldiers protecting him and then at the charging Earthly Fierce Army, a smile playing on his lips.

Leng Shi and others hiding proved they were wary of him.

That was enough!

He loved it when the enemy sent themselves one by one, all experience packs.

Today would be his day of fame.

They would never understand how fast and accurate his arrows were...

Hitting every target, almost like using heat-seeking missiles on a cold weapon battlefield.

"First squad archers, first volley." Seeing Wu Chang enter range, Shen Yu immediately ordered.

The signal flag waved.

The first squad formation, five thousand archers who had long been prepared, released their bowstrings simultaneously.

Arrows flew like locusts, scattered in the air but converging into a mass during flight.

Because the release times and strengths varied, the five thousand arrows wouldn't all hit Wu Chang at once.

But the staggered timing made them hardest to defend against.

Wu Chang saw the arrows coming and tried to dodge, but they seemed to have eyes, turning with him no matter which way he moved.

Helplessly.

Wu Chang could only swing his spear to deflect the arrows, but his attributes had dropped, and his skills hadn't improved. How could he block five thousand arrows?

In the blink of an eye, he was turned into a pincushion, arrows piercing him from head to toe. No amount of recovery could save him.

Every part of Wu Chang's body hurt, and then everything went black as he fell from his horse.

The main general fell.

The Earthly Fierce Army's charge halted abruptly.

The soldiers were ordinary men, unaware of Shen Yu's supernatural power. Seeing arrows that chased a single person, they were shocked and hesitant...

...

Dead?

Du Ge sighed inwardly and asked, "General Cao, can you do it?"

Cao Lin shook his head, his face stern. "I can cut through concentrated arrows with one slash, but this rain of arrows, even if I go forward, I will surely die."

"Looks like I have to go to kill him." Du Ge said. Behind him was a crystal-clear water sphere. With increased mental power, he could control more water.

In water, his recovery was strongest. Once arrows entered the water, he might control ice blades to shatter them.

Shen Yu's deadly accuracy was too dangerous.

He had to be eliminated.

"Du Ge, let me go!" Gao Ming suddenly said, "The Sword Domain should be able to shatter all incoming arrows..."

That would only work if Shen Yu imagined it!

Du Ge muttered in his heart, but before he could speak, he heard an uproar.

He looked up.

In just a few words.

The pincushioned Wu Chang staggered to his feet, pulling arrows from his face, the holes in his honeycomb-shaped head healing rapidly.

His features reappeared.

He laughed wildly, "Brothers, charge with me! I'll block the arrows, take the wounds. Today is the day to make our mark."

After shouting.

Wu Chang didn't remount. He cut off the arrows in his legs and charged towards Lin Qing's army, running almost as fast as a horse.

As he ran.

Arrowheads were pushed out of his muscles, clattering to the ground.

His armor and clothes, shredded by five thousand arrows, fluttered away in the wind. In the autumn breeze, a muscular old man, naked and holding a long knife, charged forward, laughing wildly.

But no one laughed at Wu Chang.

Everyone saw how he got up after being turned into a pincushion.

At this moment, Wu Chang was a demon from hell in everyone's eyes. Who cared if a demon wore clothes?

...

"Immortal body?"

Shen Yu stared at the resurrected Wu Chang, dumbfounded.

His facial muscles twitched uncontrollably. Damn it, Wu Chang's advanced skill was immortality. How could he play this game?

"General Shen, should we keep shooting?" Dou Xiu, guarding Shen Yu, swallowed hard and asked dryly.

At this moment, his heart was in turmoil. Each Heavenly Demon was more bizarre than the last. This wasn't a job for humans. If someone came to kill Shen Yu, he might have to save himself first.

"Shoot." Shen Yu's face twisted, looking crazed. "I don't believe in true immortality. Shoot him into mincemeat. I don't believe he can revive. First squad, second squad, third squad, fourth squad, fire in rotation!"

The signal flag waved.

Four squads of archers, twenty thousand arrows, flew into the air in succession.

The first five thousand arrows pinned Wu Chang to the ground; the second volley rained down on the human-shaped arrow mound, followed by the third and fourth...

In the blink of an eye.

No flesh was visible on the ground, only a dense human-shaped arrow target.

The Earthly Fierce Army's momentum halted again, all eyes on their main general.

"Turned to mincemeat, can he still live?" Cao Lin's throat moved, asking instinctively.

"..." Du Ge didn't speak, staring at the arrow mound, hoping Wu Chang would rise again.

With a keyword like 'bravery,' awakening a skill shouldn't end like this.

As if hearing Du Ge's thoughts, the arrows in the ground began to rise, then scattered aside.

From the arrow pile.

Wu Chang, full of holes, stood up again. The holes healed in an instant. He roared madly and charged again, "Kill!"

"Kill!"

The Earthly Fierce Army, like injected with adrenaline, roared thunderously, following their general without hesitation, charging towards Lin Qing's formation with unprecedented morale.

In contrast, Lin Qing's soldiers were stunned.

Wu Chang led only a few thousand men, vastly outnumbered by the tens of thousands of enemy soldiers.

But now, the tens of thousands of soldiers, whether cavalry or infantry, looked at Wu Chang with fear, many even wanting to turn and flee.
