Chapter 1244: Chapter 486: Ancient Existence

"I’m not fighting anymore, I’m going to retreat!"

"Exactly, exactly, that person might not even end up in my space. Once I get back, I’ll close the Spatial Passage, and that should guarantee safety, right!"

"Right, we never really needed to have a Desperate Fight with that person."

"..."

As the number of demigods voicing such self-hypnotizing statements increased, a large portion of the demigods present actually came to believe that reasoning. As a result, once they embraced such thoughts, their subsequent responses were predictably aligned.

Without Zhou Tian’s threat, those demigods wouldn’t have come together in the first place. And if Zhou Tian had been there before their eyes, they would’ve united to confront him despite knowing the dangers. But in the current situation, where Zhou Tian had demonstrated his strength and hinted at his ability to easily slaughter them, yet chose not to show himself, it was no surprise that the demigods acted in such an unorthodox manner under the great internal pressure and lack of a target for their distress.

Consequently, as some demigods became resolute in their thinking, even though they knew it wasn’t quite right, they ultimately chose to abandon the team and hurry back to their Ancient Ruins Space after convincing themselves to do so.

Given Zhou Tian’s strength, the actions of those demigods were clearly visible to him. Observing their behavior, Zhou Tian quietly laughed to himself at that moment.

With the situation developing to this point, it was clear the demigods had fallen right into Zhou Tian’s plot. Now it depended on whether Zhou Tian was willing to follow through. If he decided to act, he could easily capture those demigods who had left the Main Force.

However, Zhou Tian chose not to pursue that course of action at the time.

Though taking action against the few demigods who had abandoned their comrades wasn’t difficult for him and he was certain to succeed if he did, he deemed it better not to rush into dealing with them at the moment.

If he had attacked those few demigods then, he would have been successful in eliminating them and ultimately achieved his goal of weakening the Alliance’s strength. But if Zhou Tian had really done so, it would certainly have driven the demigods to unite against him. Once they fully unified, Zhou Tian would find it significantly more challenging to deal with them. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Conversely, if Zhou Tian let those few demigods escape for the moment, while it meant losing the opportunity to eliminate them in the short term, the long-term benefits of such a decision were far greater.

By allowing those demigods to leave, it meant that, although their reasoning might not necessarily be correct, at the very least Zhou Tian wouldn’t attack them at that point. While it was uncertain whether closing the Spatial Passage would stop Zhou Tian, at the very least, they would assure their Safety for a short time by doing so.

As the situation developed, the group of demigods, already inclined to flee, saw that some of their Members faced no Danger upon their retreat, which naturally made the rest of them restless.

They could worry about the future later; for now, under these circumstances, their ability to Flee was indeed a relief. If they delayed and allowed Zhou Tian to continue his machinations, they were uncertain how much longer they could hold out.

As more and more demigods chose to flee, the Alliance that stood against Zhou Tian at that moment was essentially in name only.

Regardless of whether all the demigods scattered with such a mindset, it was clear that none of them could afford not to retreat at that point. ƒreewebɳovel.com

The demigods had originally gathered to pool their collective Strength against Zhou Tian. Based on the current situation, Zhou Tian’s displayed power far surpassed that of the demigods. If not for the combined strength of them all, they stood no chance against him.

Now, with their ranks in disarray and the majority of their Members scattered, even if some demigods understood that all of this was Zhou Tian’s plot, what could they do if they didn’t disperse? At that point, they were simply unable to prevent what was happening.

Given the circumstances, if anyone tried to stop the demigods intent on fleeing, even their comrades would probably be attacked by those desperate to escape.

Undoubtedly, not to mention the composed demigods were no match for those hell-bent on fleeing, but if a conflict erupted between them, it would only make matters worse. For if one or both sides were severely injured in the process, Zhou Tian would surely seize the opportunity to Take Action. And with Zhou Tian’s Strength, they were already no match for him; if they suffered great losses in battle, a total annihilation was practically to be expected, and that wouldn’t be at all surprising.
