Chapter 1154: Chapter 456 Repelling the Goddess

"Is this the power of gods?" frёewebηovel.cѳm

After privately marveling at the might displayed by that goddess, Zhou Tian’s actions at that time were not affected in the slightest. He immediately tried to influence the goddess’s actions with his time ability, just as he had done before, the moment he resurrected.

At first, it went very smoothly. Since Zhou Tian had previously managed to affect the goddess with his ability, he was able to have a similar impact on her now. As a result of Zhou Tian’s power, the goddess, momentarily stiffened by his time ability, once again missed the chance to kill him in one strike.

However, the situation was just a momentary one. After unleashing her divine power, even though she could not instantly kill Zhou Tian, now prepared, with mere tactics, with the strength of divine power, she could strike him down at will if she so desired, and Zhou Tian would be powerless to defend against her attack.

Consequently, although Zhou Tian’s time ability immobilized her for a moment, she broke free from its effects due to her own strength and without another word, she once again launched an attack on Zhou Tian.

"Divine Power, Annihilation!"

It was the same ability as before, but even without any new tactics, given the current might of the goddess’s divine power, Zhou Tian was completely defenseless against that one attack. As expected, when her strike descended, Zhou Tian met his demise.

Undoubtedly, the goddess was far stronger than Zhou Tian. Regardless of Zhou Tian’s future prospects, at least in that moment, if not for his Immortal Body of the Human Emperor, he probably wouldn’t have sustained more than two moves under the goddess’s onslaught. And facing such an outcome, Zhou Tian felt a deep sense of unwillingness.

Unfortunately, regardless of his unwillingness, the disparity in their strength was obvious, and no matter how unwilling Zhou Tian was, given the power the goddess displayed at that time, any resistance he could muster would only delay the inevitable defeat.

Considering the circumstances, it seemed there was no need for Zhou Tian to keep trying. After all, no matter how hard he tried, he was likely to be killed over and over again by the goddess. Therefore, knowing full well that effort would not change his fate, it appeared there was no point for Zhou Tian to continue his struggle.

However, Zhou Tian was not willing to concede so easily; no matter how formidable the opponent was, if there was a glimmer of hope, he would certainly not give up.

At the same time, besides Zhou Tian’s own refusal to give in, the condition of the goddess also gave him the determination to persist. It was precisely because he noticed a change in the goddess that Zhou Tian felt emboldened to continue.

Just as Zhou Tian had suspected, although the goddess’s strength was immense, her unconventional arrival to this world limited her. Even if she could unleash her full power, given the manner of her arrival, her ability to remain in the Main Plane was finite.

Under normal circumstances, with the strength of the goddess, if she were to stay in this world for a while, her power would suffice to destroy it entirely. Thus, although the summoning method had its flaws, it wasn’t a weakness for the goddess, given her strength. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

But now, facing Zhou Tian, who possessed an Immortal Body, killing him wouldn’t be easy for the goddess, despite her slightly superior strength.

In the end, even with the goddess’s formidable power, she still had to abide by the power rules of the current Epoch when facing Zhou Tian.

Therefore, with the abilities of Zhou Tian, the Human Emperor, even if the goddess wanted to eliminate him, it would be impossible without first knocking him out of the Human Emperor Realm.

As such, while the goddess appeared to be overwhelmingly powerful, in reality, she was merely an ally summoned by the NPCs and Monsters. Her role was simple: to keep Zhou Tian occupied. If the Demigods and Emperor-level Bosses had the strength to cast Zhou Tian down from his realm, then the goddess would have the power to destroy him. However, if those Monsters and NPCs proved incompetent, no matter how powerful the goddess was or how many times she killed Zhou Tian, she would never be able to succeed in the end.

Despite repeatedly being at a disadvantage in their struggles, Zhou Tian began to sense a pleasing change in the goddess as the combat wore on.

Zhou Tian knew it wasn’t his imagination; the goddess’s body had begun to take on a more ethereal form compared to the beginning. If she initially seemed to be fully corporeal, then now her form was somewhere between a physical body and a projection.
