Mighty Lord

Chapter 1235: Chapter 483: Almost Succeeding

Because of their concerns regarding Zhou Tian, the demigods indeed wouldn’t engage in major conflicts within a short period, but this was under normal circumstances. However, if Zhou Tian were to give them a push from behind when the time came, those demigods might not want to conflict, but they would inevitably end up fighting each other because of Zhou Tian’s influence. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Hehe..."

Upon noticing signs of instability among the demigods, Zhou Tian soon began to sneer secretly.

The reason Zhou Tian always stayed hidden wasn’t that he liked skulking in the shadows, but because he knew that in a direct combat, although he wasn’t without a chance of victory, his winning odds didn’t look particularly good. Therefore, to increase his odds, he would try to find the opponent’s weakness, which is why Zhou Tian chose to hide in the first place.

And in fact, judging by the current situation, it was clear that Zhou Tian’s plan had succeeded. While the weaknesses exposed weren’t entirely due to him, after discovering the internal discord among the demigods, Zhou Tian knew he now had the opportunity to defeat them.

With fractures within their ranks, Zhou Tian just needed to find a way to widen these cracks, and naturally, the group of demigods would begin to fight amongst themselves. Zhou Tian didn’t hope for an actual physical fight, but as long as the demigods couldn’t unite because of various conflicts, he would have paved the way for his own victory.

After all, the disparity in strength between the demigods and Zhou Tian was too great, so much so that if Zhou Tian felt inclined, he could easily defeat any single demigod. If it weren’t for the fact that the demigods had banded together and various factors had prevented Zhou Tian from exerting his full power, these troubles wouldn’t have arisen, and perhaps Zhou Tian would have already started troubling the demigods individually.

As such, Zhou Tian himself possessed the strength to contend with the group of demigods, and under these circumstances, if the demigods scattered because of conflict, it would be easy for Zhou Tian, with his strength, to deal with any one of them. With this realization, Zhou Tian knew exactly how to act.

As a result, after his discoveries, Zhou Tian quickly began to take action.

In Zhou Tian’s view, increasing the pressure on the demigods could be both very difficult and very easy.

The difficulty lay in the fact that, due to his existence, Zhou Tian was aware that the demigods wouldn’t easily attack each other. They were all too aware of Zhou Tian’s formidable power, and thus knew that killing other demigods would be tantamount to seeking their own death. No matter how intense the conflict, the demigods would likely choose to hold back.

Therefore, if Zhou Tian employed typical methods to undermine the relationships between the demigods, he could be certain it would be impossible to succeed. The reason they were currently in conflict had already emerged, and even if the conflict heightened a bit, it wouldn’t be enough to cause the demigods to dissolve their alliance.

However, if the goal was to disrupt the alliance of the demigods, that again could be easily achieved.

Because everything that had happened had already successfully laid the foundation for Zhou Tian to ruin their relationships. If it weren’t for his influence, the demigods would have already ceased tolerating each other due to their personalities and the conflicts that had arisen. It would have been impossible for them to remain peacefully together otherwise.

Therefore, Zhou Tian actually didn’t need to create any additional conflicts among the demigods. Based on the conflicts that had already started, Zhou Tian just needed to amplify their internal impact, so even if he did nothing else, the demigods were sure to start fighting.

Considering the situation and after pondering for a short while, Zhou Tian soon had an idea in mind.

Based on the circumstances, Zhou Tian decided to add some pressure to the demigods. In his view, given the current situation, it was the pressure he brought that had driven the demigods together. Therefore, if he added some pressure without showing up, he estimated that the demigods’ behaviour would start to change.

It wasn’t impossible, as not all matters could be managed well by rational means.

Even though they were clear that Zhou Tian’s existence was their biggest threat at the moment, to combat him, they needed to join forces.

But when encountering certain issues, the demigods had already begun to conflict. Thus, if Zhou Tian continued to exert pressure from the sidelines without revealing himself, the demigods would inevitably feel more psychological pressure. And once that pressure increased, like mortals, they would become irritable, and should any conflict arise in that state, it was likely they would no longer consider other matters and engage in full-on combat.
