Chapter 1289: Chapter 501 Waiting
Zhou Tian currently possessed powerful strength, ready to fight or flee as he wished, and if he didn’t want to stay, those Deities indeed lacked the ability to make him stay. However, if Zhou Tian’s power were weakened in the upcoming combat, it might not be so easy for him to leave then.
At present, Zhou Tian did not wish to leave, but if his strength were reduced by the actions of those Deities, and he lost his current power level, escaping from their control naturally wouldn’t be so easy anymore. Surely, given the relationship between Zhou Tian and those Deities, if there was an opportunity, it was unlikely they would let him leave alive, no matter what!
Therefore, from a certain perspective, Zhou Tian’s current actions did indeed seem rather strange. It was estimated that anyone facing such a situation would unquestionably choose to withdraw. The only ones who would be willing to stay and fight to the death with their enemies were two kinds of people.
One kind was the stubborn, those whose minds couldn’t adjust; faced with trouble from enemies, they would engage in battle without a second thought. And during that desperate fight, they likely wouldn’t consider how to create better combat conditions for themselves.
The second kind were those with absolute confidence in their own strength since they believed, no matter the trouble, their abilities would eventually lead to a perfect resolution. Completely unconcerned with their enemies, they naturally could act according to their own desires. freewёbnoνel.com
Undoubtedly, judging by Zhou Tian’s current reaction, he seemed to be the second type.
However, although Zhou Tian’s response arose from absolute confidence in his own strength, his opponents clearly could not understand. They could not fathom where Zhou Tian got the confidence to struggle against them and showed such a reaction to his refusal to leave.
In any case, in the eyes of those Deities, Zhou Tian must have been out of his mind. If his head hadn’t had a problem, under the overt circumstances, he surely had no reason to respond as he was doing now.
No matter what, those Deities considered this an opportunity to kill Zhou Tian. Even if Zhou Tian had reacted as they thought correct, albeit unwillingly, they were very clear that, unless their true forms descended to the Lower Realm, they probably had no chance of defeating him again.
For those Deities, descending in their true form was not an easy feat. If it had been, they wouldn’t have waited until now. It was estimated that as soon as Zhou Tian showed his Threat, those Deities would have directly descended in their true forms to eliminate it.
The fact that those Deities hadn’t done so earlier wasn’t because they didn’t want to; based on Zhou Tian’s estimation, they likely faced certain limitations that prevented it. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Thus, given the current situation, although they couldn’t guarantee they wouldn’t react dangerously when pushed into a corner, at least one thing was certain - if those Deities indeed took that step, Zhou Tian’s Threat to them would likely become quite extraordinary.
But the situation had not reached that point yet.
Regardless of what Zhou Tian thought, his current actions had given that group of Deities a glimpse at the winning odds in this Combat. With a chance at victory now in this Combat, unless absolutely necessary, those Deities naturally wouldn’t pay a price they were unwilling to pay just to deal with Zhou Tian.
As a result, because of Zhou Tian’s actions, the relationship between him and those Deities hadn’t deteriorated to an irreparable extent as he had anticipated.
At least before reaching that point, although Zhou Tian and those Deities each had their own thoughts, when they took action against their enemies, they still retained a degree of reservations, believing they wouldn’t want to pay a price to achieve their goal as long as they could kill their opponents.
Unwilling to pay a price, the Combat between Zhou Tian and those Deities naturally fell into a relatively balanced situation.
Zhou Tian need not be mentioned; his strength had improved significantly, and he had developed some Resistance Ability against Divine Power Attacks. However, the strength of the opponents he faced was too Powerful; despite his improvements, it was difficult to deal with them as they brought their maximum strength to bear, bombarding him with relentless Divine Power Attacks. In such circumstances, Zhou Tian found it quite difficult to handle his opponents for the time being.
But as Zhou Tian found the Deities difficult to handle in the short term, they were even more without Method against him.
The strength of the Deities was evident; no matter how Powerful their true forms were, they were currently only capable of exerting so much. Undoubtedly, judging by Zhou Tian’s Performance at the time, if it were possible to defeat him with their current level of strength, they likely would have already done so, without waiting for the need to arise now.
