Chapter 1220: Chapter 478: The Doomsday of Neutral Forces
Zhou Tian’s action had indeed pushed the Human Emperor into a corner at that time. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Only then did the Human Emperor begin to realize something was amiss. Initially, he was solely focused on expanding his own territory and paid no attention to his internal affairs. As a result, when Zhou Tian schemed against him and significantly weakened his strength, the Human Emperor was still unaware that he had fallen victim to Zhou Tian’s schemes.
So, when Zhou Tian launched an attack on his territory, it was only then that the Human Emperor realized, to his shock, that his territory had somehow become much weaker. Zhou Tian alone now had the ability to invade his territory, and under those circumstances, Zhou Tian’s actions forced him to defend himself.
How could he not defend himself? Given the situation at the time, if he allowed Zhou Tian to continue, although the Human Emperor was also damaging Zhou Tian’s territory, because of the difference in strength, the Human Emperor was no match for Zhou Tian. If they were to continue fighting in this manner, Zhou Tian would most likely emerge as the victor.
And given the situation at the time, even though he knew his response was probably what Zhou Tian had hoped to see, the Human Emperor, realizing he was at a disadvantage in this battle, reluctantly withdrew his cloned monsters.
As a result, when the Human Emperor withdrew those cloned monsters and regained his full strength, he then launched an attack on Zhou Tian’s cloned beastmen.
Although the Human Emperor’s strength was not on par with Zhou Tian’s, Zhou Tian’s cloned beastmen could not compare to the Human Emperor. When the Human Emperor attacked the cloned beastmen with his absolute strength, he inflicted severe damage on them.
It could almost be said that once the Human Emperor had regained his full power, his attacks on those easily found cloned beastmen eliminated most of them with just one strike. Consequently, given the situation at the time, Zhou Tian’s invasion of the Human Emperor’s territory was repelled.
However, Zhou Tian was not angry about being repelled; instead, upon seeing the situation, he smiled openly. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The reason was simple: the Human Emperor’s recovery of strength meant that he also withdrew his cloned monsters. Even though Zhou Tian’s beastmen also had the capability to resist the opponent, with the Human Emperor’s strength and without his cloned monsters, Zhou Tian’s beastmen faced much less pressure resisting the invasion of hostile forces. As the leader, seeing his side’s pressure decrease, he had no reason not to be pleased. Moreover, everything was still proceeding according to his plan. Seeing his plan being successfully implemented was a feeling of achievement that Zhou Tian savored.
Originally, with the situation at that time, having successfully forced the Human Emperor back, the crisis behind him could be said to be over. In that scenario, if Zhou Tian did not act recklessly and continued to fight methodically, he had a good 70-80 percent assurance that he would ultimately win.
But...
Although it was not a problem for Zhou Tian to defeat the forces of the Main Plane at present, having neutralized the Human Emperor’s threat, he had already secured a victory. However, at this time, Zhou Tian’s opponents were not just the Human Emperor. While he need not worry about the forces within this plane, the forces outside this plane could potentially hinder Zhou Tian’s actions.
In fact, although Zhou Tian had successfully forced those deities back according to his plan, they still had not left the Main Plane. Although Zhou Tian could take action without fear as long as he was sure they dared not further damage the environment of the Main Plane, the strength of those deities remained formidable. Without certain tactics on Zhou Tian’s part, the opponent could still overcome him just by relying on their strength alone, even while being cautious in their actions.
As a result, given the circumstances at the time, after the situation had evolved to that step, Zhou Tian had essentially seized the initiative. If he could gradually erode the opponent’s strength, defeating those hostile forces and annexing them completely would not be a difficult task for Zhou Tian.
But...
In the end, things were not that simple. Just as Zhou Tian was about to win, the deities could not help but emerge from the shadows at that time.
Those deities had allowed Zhou Tian to leave earlier only because his plan had worked, and feeling that the Main Plane’s rejection of them had strengthened, they had to stop fighting at that time. But allowing Zhou Tian to leave did not mean that the deities had given up on suppressing him. Their withdrawal was merely an opportunity to prepare. Now, as Zhou Tian seemed to be on the verge of defeating the Human Emperor, the deities could not possibly just watch him win the war.
