Chapter 1288: Chapter 500 Staying to Fight_3
While other monsters had no method to contend with that Human Emperor, once Zhou Tian was annihilated, the Human Emperor would likely unify the Main Plane. According to the power system of this world’s monsters, if he were to unify the world, the Human Emperor could potentially upgrade. frёewebnoѵēl.com
The Monster System leading up to the Human Emperor’s immortal body had already caused headaches for the Deities, and they knew not what powers a monster could obtain after becoming a Human Emperor. However, their speculation suggested that if the monster really grew to that extent, its threat would undoubtedly become much greater.
Once the monster reached that extent, there would be no doubt that the Deities would consider it a threat.
It was precisely because these Deities did not know to what extent the monster could grow whether it would eventually turn against them, they had always hesitated to completely eliminate Zhou Tian. While cultivating this Human Emperor to counterbalance Zhou Tian, they were also restrained by the Human Emperor until a long time ago. They had only considered weakening Zhou Tian’s strength and had never truly contemplated his annihilation.
It was only when they discovered Zhou Tian’s strength progressing too rapidly, surpassing their expectations after a brief period, that those Deities then changed their bottom line.
Indeed, if they allowed the Human Emperor to upgrade, he might certainly become their new threat. However, those Deities could no longer tolerate Zhou Tian.
After all, Zhou Tian’s growth was astonishing. Even though they believed they had limited Zhou Tian’s expansion, Zhou Tian’s strength was still continuously improving. If they did not eliminate Zhou Tian now, who could guarantee that Zhou Tian’s strength wouldn’t surpass their expectations in the future?
Given the rate of Zhou Tian’s strength, if he continued to advance at this rate, his strength would indeed become terrifying.
Moreover, considering the relationship between Zhou Tian and them, if Zhou Tian really grew stronger, those Deities would not believe that Zhou Tian would not retaliate against them for their previous actions.
Compared to Zhou Tian, if the Human Emperor successfully upgraded, he would inevitably become a threat to those Deities. And given the nature of monsters, those Deities did not believe he would be polite to them just because of their current supportive actions. Nevertheless, from the usual performance, the Human Emperor seemed no different from an ordinary monster.
Thus, no matter how much the Human Emperor grew, as long as he did not become as formidable as Zhou Tian, the threat to those Deities would still be limited. At least they wouldn’t feel the current apprehension even if the Human Emperor’s power exceeded theirs; those Deities believed that with their efforts, disintegrating the Human Emperor’s forces would ultimately not be impossible. In the worst case, if the Human Emperor’s growth truly exceeded their expectations, they would rather concede a position to him than allow Zhou Tian, who was completely uncontrollable, to become their ’companion’.
Consequently, due to these thoughts, those Deities carried out their current actions. And when Zhou Tian unexpectedly stayed to fight them, those Deities did not mind engaging in combat with Zhou Tian.
Thus, although the Divine Power Attack did not achieve the expected battle results as those Deities had hoped, the group of Deities did not cease their actions because of this reason.
Soon after, when Zhou Tian blocked the Divine Power Attack based on his enlightenment, those Deities who discovered that Zhou Tian had not left launched another Divine Power Attack to encircle him.
Although the effect of the Divine Power Attack was disappointing, those Deities were not yet discouraged enough to abandon their strongest attack. Also, to put it frankly, Zhou Tian was also injured by the Divine Power Attack even if he was not instantly killed.
Even though the battle results were not as great as they had imagined, if the battle continued, those Deities believed their Divine Power Attack still posed a threat to Zhou Tian. Even if they couldn’t do much to Zhou Tian, resisting him was still not a problem.
Although they didn’t know why Zhou Tian chose to stay, those Deities could only use this moment to secure their slim chances of winning.
No matter why Zhou Tian chose to stay, based on the current situation, if Zhou Tian remained there, he obviously would not be able to influence their plans. Whether it was because of Zhou Tian’s reasons or theirs making their plans succeed, those Deities just hoped their plan would achieve the anticipated success.
As long as the plan succeeded and they took down part of Zhou Tian’s territory with the arranged power, those Deities believed Zhou Tian would no longer display such formidable strength as he currently does.
