Chapter 1169: 461
Zhou Tian commanded his elite Beastmen to retreat without a word upon encountering that male God, and based on the situation at the time, although the male God could destroy Zhou Tian’s Territory, he wasn’t strong enough to significantly weaken Zhou Tian’s middle-tier combat power.
According to the situation then, facing that male God, the Beastmen under Zhou Tian had no ability to resist. Even without Zhou Tian’s command, it was estimated that they wouldn’t have any resistance capability when facing the male God. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
However, the fact that Zhou Tian’s Beastmen had no ability to resist the male God did not mean that their strength was weak, for at least when facing those invading monsters, Zhou Tian’s Beastmen indeed possessed an overwhelming strength advantage.
Indeed, in the presence of that male God, Zhou Tian’s Beastmen dared not confront him directly, so it was a simple matter for him to destroy Zhou Tian’s Territory. But that male God could not be everywhere at once, so what he could do at the time was to help the monsters in one area annex Beastman Territory.
Thus, when that male God was present, Zhou Tian’s Territory would naturally be easily annexed by those monsters. But once the male God left, Zhou Tian’s subordinates, the little BOSSes, would immediately start to recover the lost land. Without the male God’s presence, it’s not to say that those monsters and NPCs could not resist the Beastmen’s counterattack, but given that Zhou Tian’s subordinate bosses were capable of matching their top combat power, Zhou Tian’s Beastmen, with their superior numbers, rarely failed in their organized actions to recover lost land.
As a result, the male God kept causing destruction within Zhou Tian’s Territory, again and again, destroying it. As soon as he left, however, Zhou Tian’s Beastmen would recover it. Thus, during the time when the male God could have completely destroyed Zhou Tian’s Territory, Zhou Tian’s own Beastmen stubbornly rendered much of the male God’s efforts futile using that method.
And because of the efforts of those Beastmen under Zhou Tian, things had evolved into the present situation. Although the male God’s attacks did cause some losses for Zhou Tian, the losses he suffered at the time weren’t enough to affect his foundation. As for the bit of Territory he lost, Zhou Tian could come up with ways to replenish it within minutes.
Hence, due to that strategy of Zhou Tian’s, the male God’s efforts were rendered meaningless. No matter how hard he tried at the time, he ultimately had to helplessly realize that his attacks couldn’t lead to the annihilation of Zhou Tian’s Territory. While Zhou Tian’s Territory remained unscathed, the male God was well aware that although defeating Zhou Tian with the female God’s strength was not difficult, killing Zhou Tian had become impossible.
So, upon noticing Zhou Tian’s subordinates’ actions, the male God wasn’t surprised to see Zhou Tian’s return. He certainly wouldn’t suspect that the female God could lose to Zhou Tian, but probably also clearly understood under what conditions Zhou Tian could have returned.
And upon discovering Zhou Tian’s return, the male God’s face immediately darkened at that moment.
The male God wasn’t worried about his own safety. Although Zhou Tian’s power was commendable, the gap between them was still significant. If they were to fight, like the female God, the male God also had absolute confidence that he could suppress Zhou Tian.
But the problem now was not about Zhou Tian’s strength; the reason for the male God’s change in expression was simply because of the significance of Zhou Tian’s current appearance.
If the female God hadn’t let go, clearly Zhou Tian had no capacity to come. And if Zhou Tian had come, in other words, it meant that the female God had already directly abandoned blocking Zhou Tian.
Undoubtedly, the female God’s action clearly indicated that she had judged the male God’s effort to be a complete failure, and because she had no more hope for him, she allowed Zhou Tian to leave. Under these circumstances, although Zhou Tian’s arrival didn’t pose a great threat to the male God, this situation still inevitably made him feel as if he had been slapped in the face, a feeling that was intolerable for the male God.
Which powerhouse doesn’t have some pride? Now, the issue they thought was secure turned out to be problematic in his hands, and the male God felt himself to be very ashamed. For this reason, upon discovering Zhou Tian, his reaction was quite intense.
"Damn it!" With a casual strike, he blasted out a huge pit, killing the Beastmen nearby. After casting a resentful glance at Zhou Tian, the male God still had to grit his teeth and choose to retreat at that moment.
Unwilling as he was, the male God was clear that since the female God had failed to kill Zhou Tian, it would be just as difficult for him to pose a threat to Zhou Tian. Thus, it was better to leave sooner rather than waste time on Zhou Tian, and wait for the next opportunity when they had come up with other methods to deal with Zhou Tian, then it wouldn’t be too late to clean up Zhou Tian.
