Free Web NovelChapter 1152: Chapter 455 Goddess_2
However, Zhou Tian, who wasn’t new to this world, did not recall any incident in this Epoch involving the summoning of a deity.
The strength of the gods was too overpowering for the living beings of the current Epoch. Even with Zhou Tian’s own power, he could barely claim self-preservation when facing them. If other forces were to confront such an opponent, it is estimated that they would likely have no resistance whatsoever.
Yet now, a deity who had never before appeared suddenly descended, and judging by the current situation, it seemed that Zhou Tian was the target. Zhou Tian absolutely refused to believe that these deities hadn’t exerted their power.
Even though Zhou Tian understood that, given the position of the deities, it wasn’t odd for them to act against him at this time, he certainly could not harbor a good impression of the goddess who was targeting him so directly.
One could say that, even though such thoughts had not just begun to form in his mind, when it became certain that the woman was indeed a goddess and had specifically come for him, Zhou Tian still felt a maddening sensation.
This was not the first time— it seemed that whenever Zhou Tian started to make any progress, he would immediately face suppression from those gods. If previously Zhou Tian had only been covertly oppressed by the combined deities, now he was directly under attack.
After the goddess took action, it meant that the lofty gods’ suppression of Zhou Tian had shifted from covert to direct oppression. This not only suggested that Zhou Tian’s pressure would greatly increase, but also indicated that the gods were no longer tolerant of him.
For Zhou Tian, the current situation was naturally unfavorable. After all, the might of the gods was well known; if all the gods above, for whom no specific number was known, possessed the same strength as the present goddess, then after their open attack, Zhou Tian genuinely worried whether he could survive.
From Zhou Tian’s perspective, he merely desired to enhance his strength, not anticipating that those deities, fearing challenges to their status, would directly take action against him in response. Therefore, given the circumstances, Zhou Tian truly had little confidence that he could ensure his safety against the deities’ threat.
However, no matter what, since matters had progressed to this stage, Zhou Tian had no choice but to persist despite his unease. After all, his strength might not be formidable, but it wasn’t weak either. Provided he could secure his Territory, then, based on the Power Rule of this Epoch, those deities would find it not so easy to kill him despite their disdain.
Thus, after ascertaining the identity of the goddess, Zhou Tian put aside his intent to eliminate her and involuntarily started to consider methods for escape. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
From their brief encounter, Zhou Tian was already acutely aware that this goddess was not an opponent he could defeat. If he insisted on a Desperate Fight with her, he might not pay with his life, but he was sure to suffer losses.
If it was just a minor loss, then so be it. But given the circumstances, Zhou Tian knew he lacked the capacity to engage in a Desperate Fight with the goddess.
What about the goddess?
She came specifically for Zhou Tian, and the deities had confidently sent her, which meant they believed she could easily defeat him. And Zhou Tian had already tested her; the goddess’s strength was terrifyingly strong. Reluctantly admitting it, Zhou Tian knew he was no match for her.
Since it was clear that he stood no chance against the goddess, Zhou Tian certainly did not want to continue the fight. After all, from any perspective, it seemed he had no need for a Desperate Fight with the goddess. His strength was just enough for self-preservation against her, and if he truly harbored resentment, he could seek revenge once he became more powerful. Directly seeking trouble now would be utterly foolish.
Hence, instead of a Desperate Fight with the goddess, Zhou Tian thought it would be wiser to trouble those NPC demigods and Emperor-level bosses. Otherwise, if his Foundation were destroyed by those beings, Zhou Tian wouldn’t worry about defeating the goddess—maintaining his own safety would become extremely difficult.
With such thoughts flashing through his mind, Zhou Tian naturally began to take action at that moment.
Having made a Decision, Zhou Tian released half of the copied Beastmen from his Personal World as soon as he escaped the goddess’s control. He ordered them to attack the goddess while he himself began to flee outward.
Zhou Tian’s Mind was simple—there was no way he could fight the goddess, so thinking of defeating her before leaving was unrealistic. Under those circumstances, Zhou Tian’s only choice seemed to be finding a way to delay the goddess for a while and then create some distance between them. As long as the goddess couldn’t catch up, he wouldn’t have to worry about her Threat for quite some time.
