Chapter 1171: 461 Chapter_3
And clearly, it would be difficult for those two deities to remain unaware of Zhou Tian’s actions, as Zhou Tian’s presence had become a threat to the safety of many forces. To those forces, those two deities represented their last hope. As such, it didn’t matter how much noise Zhou Tian made, even if he tried to keep it down. Given his power to deter these forces, it was likely that even a casual "sneeze" from him could be noted and reported to the two deities by some force or another.
Therefore, it was natural that those two deities learned about Zhou Tian’s actions in due time, and upon learning of his movements, they indeed responded as expected. Just as Zhou Tian had expanded his territory once more, reclaiming the part that had been damaged under that male god, he faced the unexpected interception from the two deities. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Encountering resistance on two fronts, the beastman teams Zhou Tian had sent out to invade other territories were also swiftly met with the interception of those two deities soon after their movements were discovered. And given the strength of the two deities, the beastman teams they encountered were invariably annihilated without exception.
When Zhou Tian learned of this situation, he utterly loathed those two deities.
Zhou Tian wasn’t surprised by the actions of the two deities once he became aware of them. Since they were inherently in opposition, it was only natural that they would come out to stop him upon learning of his movements. But the real problem now was that their interference had directly spoiled the advantageous position that Zhou Tian had worked so hard to establish. Moreover, unlike before when he was prepared to confront the two deities, to expand his territory, Zhou Tian’s beastmen had no choice but to attack with full strength, and thus suffered heavy losses when facing those two deities under these circumstances.
For Zhou Tian, it wasn’t a big deal that his plan was thwarted; he just wanted to expand his territory and ideally recover his previous losses. Only through such determined expansion could Zhou Tian assure that he wouldn’t give the two deities an opportunity to exploit.
Although Zhou Tian had anticipated that the two deities wouldn’t allow him to expand his territory easily, he had severely underestimated their destructive power. Thus, when the news reached him, the large army of beastmen he had sent out had already been largely decimated by his opponents. By the time Zhou Tian reacted and issued the retreat command, the number of his sub-bosses lost had already exceeded his expectations.
Being unable to expand his territory was indeed a bit of a pity for Zhou Tian. However, since he had anticipated the response of the two deities, he wasn’t surprised by the outcome.
While Zhou Tian could tolerate the failure to expand the territory, the unexpected and considerable losses during the operation were something he couldn’t accept.
In normal times, Zhou Tian wouldn’t care too much about the casualties among his sub-bosses; to him, beastmen were mostly tools in his hands, and he had few real attachments to them. In such circumstances, as long as his objectives were met or his power increased, he wouldn’t mind losing some beastmen.
However, Zhou Tian was in a dangerous situation at the moment, and if he were to face a situation like the previous one again, he would need the cooperation of his sub-bosses to fend off the invasion. Even if Zhou Tian didn’t care about the casualties among his beastmen, under the present conditions, learning of his own losses still made Zhou Tian’s expression turn grim.
Moreover, after the beastmen teams that Zhou Tian had sent out were wiped out due to the interception by the two deities, they launched a new action against Zhou Tian.
While it was true that they had successfully stopped Zhou Tian’s movements, those two deities also understood that if they didn’t take additional actions, it wouldn’t take long for Zhou Tian to make another move. Under these circumstances, unless they wanted to risk an accident, they needed to find a way to eliminate Zhou Tian preemptively. Otherwise, if they allowed Zhou Tian to continue growing, no one could guarantee what he might be capable of.
So, if Zhou Tian had not made any moves, the two deities might have needed to plan a bit more to see how they could successfully take him down. But given Zhou Tian’s restlessness, to avoid any unintended consequences, it became necessary to take action and attack him in advance.
As a result, provoked by Zhou Tian’s actions, the two deities suddenly joined forces against him. Sensing the presence of the two deities, Zhou Tian issued several urgent orders without any hesitation, the most critical of which was for the beastmen within ten thousand miles to evacuate the area immediately.
Since they hadn’t yet thought of a good method to deal with Zhou Tian, the only choice for those two deities at the moment was to brute force it using their advantage in strength.
To those two deities, Zhou Tian’s capabilities were indeed good, but his ability to withstand their attacks previously was largely due to various tactics. They believed that without relying on such assistance, Zhou Tian alone could hardly force them to retreat.
Therefore, although it would be somewhat difficult for them to take down Zhou Tian without a corresponding strategy, if they merely focused on dealing with Zhou Tian, their combined strength was enough to suffice, even without using a Divine Power Attack.
