Mighty Lord

Chapter 1287: Chapter 500 Stay to Fight_2

However, it was clear that some things couldn’t be calculated that way. If Zhou Tian were to truly carry out such an action, then his troubles were destined to be anything but minor.

Once Zhou Tian left, the forces that were originally prepared to hold him back would naturally follow. In this way, although Zhou Tian would surely disrupt the opponent’s plans, and could even force them to retreat, it was almost certain that should Zhou Tian take such action, the loss of his Beastmen wouldn’t be slight.

Zhou Tian didn’t care much for his Beastmen subordinates. However, if possible, he wouldn’t want them to suffer unnecessary losses; after all, even if Zhou Tian himself wasn’t close to those Beastmen, they were still a resource that could be exploited. If it wasn’t necessary, the strength that could be utilized should be retained to the greatest extent possible.

Thus, when faced with the threat of the Divine Avatars, Zhou Tian wouldn’t cause trouble without reason, letting his Beastmen endure those losses if it wasn’t necessary.

Even though he was aware of the Divine Avatars’ plans, Zhou Tian still had great confidence in his Beastmen subordinates. He believed they could withstand the Divine Avatars’ attacks. Therefore, Zhou Tian didn’t choose to leave in order to resist those Divine Power Attacks but decided to remain there instead. freёweɓnovel.com

If it’s a fight they want, it’s a fight they’ll get!

Zhou Tian’s Beastmen were not without their own means of self-preservation; if the Divine Avatars treated them as weaklings to bully, while not a wrong assessment, the idea of easily achieving their goal had been doomed from the start to be impossible.

Even without Zhou Tian’s deliberate efforts, the various preparations he had made had not changed due to his alterations. Relying on his original setups, those arrangements had evolved to a point where they could now serve as a robust line of defense for Zhou Tian’s Beastmen.

Without delving into the details, Zhou Tian somewhat knew that, based on his previous arrangements, his Beastmen might not be capable of slaying Gods, but surviving an assault from a Divine Avatar would be hardly an issue.

Therefore, as for his Beastmen, Zhou Tian felt very reassured and didn’t believe they would encounter any danger at that time. Under these circumstances, Zhou Tian was confident to engage in battle with those Divine Avatars.

As a result, even with foreknowledge of the Divine Avatars’ plans, Zhou Tian didn’t alter his decision. Having made up his mind, he immediately counterattacked against the group of Divine Avatars.

"He didn’t leave!"

Clearly, Zhou Tian’s response had surprised the Divine Avatars. In their view, considering the stage Zhou Tian had reached, if things went as expected, he should have gone to save his Beastmen and ensure his own strength while disrupting their plans.

Yet now, despite being able to ruin their plans, Zhou Tian had chosen to stay. Naturally, the Divine Avatars found it strange to see him react in such a way.

However, even though the Divine Avatars were surprised by Zhou Tian’s response, regardless of their astonishment, it didn’t affect their actions. At the very least, in response to Zhou Tian’s threat, those Divine Avatars reacted very quickly.

No matter what Zhou Tian was thinking, in the eyes of the Divine Avatars, his reaction was advantageous to them. After all, if Zhou Tian chose to leave at that moment, they would basically have no chance of stopping him, but now that Zhou Tian had chosen to stay, they had the opportunity to take down this formidable opponent.

Zhou Tian’s strength was much greater than what the Divine Avatars had initially assumed, and based on his performance, it seemed nearly impossible for them to defeat him. However, how Zhou Tian improved his strength was no longer important; the Divine Avatars had already resolved to conquer Zhou Tian’s Territory. Even if Zhou Tian’s strength progressed rapidly at the moment, what significance would it have if he lost his Territory? Without his Territory, no matter how powerful Zhou Tian was, he would still end up losing strength.

Without the seat of the Human Emperor, no matter how great Zhou Tian’s advancement in strength was at the moment, he would no longer pose a threat to them. This was because, the moment Zhou Tian lost his strength, the Divine Avatars wouldn’t spare him under any circumstances.

By pushing the Divine Avatars to this point, it could be said that Zhou Tian had driven them to desperation; otherwise, no matter the situation, it seemed highly unlikely that they would make such a decision. After all, taking such a step was quite difficult for those Divine Avatars.

No matter the reason that led to this stage, the moment the Divine Avatars made their decision, it signified that they were willing to personally push forward a formidable adversary.

No matter how capable an NPC may be, they didn’t have the potential to occupy too much Territory. At this moment on the Main Plane, apart from Zhou Tian, there was only one other Human Emperor leading the Monster side. Although there were other surviving Monster forces, beyond Zhou Tian, no other existed that could rival the Human Emperor’s force within the Monster Camp.
