Mighty Lord

Chapter 1470: Chapter 545_2

"How is that possible!"

Clearly, Zhou Tian was surrounded and nearly all the top forces of the Main Plane had assembled to encircle him. How could those Deities have possibly anticipated that external forces would come to Zhou Tian’s aid? As a result, totally unprepared for such an attack, they allowed the Beastmen controlled by Zhou Tian to severely wound them.

"Big trouble now."

At first, those Deities didn’t even know where the attack was coming from. But once they realized the assault was launched by the Beastmen at their rear, the Deities secretly cursed their fate.

Indeed, it was their own carelessness that had given Zhou Tian the opportunity to counterattack. However, Zhou Tian’s strategy was not hard to comprehend. The Deities had been unaware of Zhou Tian’s moves, hence they did not know how they were defeated. But once they realized what was happening and carefully considered Zhou Tian’s plan, they found it to be not the slightest bit challenging.

Even if, by that point, they had guessed the tactics Zhou Tian used to defeat them, things had evolved to a stage where the Deities were powerless to reverse the situation.

Not to mention that their forces had been crippled by then and they no longer had the ability to continue fighting Zhou Tian. Even if they still possessed the capacity to fight, Zhou Tian’s plan had progressed to the point where they could hardly stop him from reclaiming his power.

After all, although the Deities could somewhat influence the Monster Rules, letting the Beastman mini-bosses under Zhou Tian have the ability to take action against him, the Deities certainly couldn’t casually influence the thoughts of those Beastmen.

The reason Zhou Tian’s mini-bosses had betrayed him at that time was due to some ideological guidance by the Deities. To say their betrayal was solely because of the Deities would be a gross misunderstanding.

Even if they had guided Zhou Tian’s mini-bosses to betray him, the Deities had exerted considerable effort over a long time. If Zhou Tian had not left the Main Plane for a while, today’s events might never have happened. Thus, considering the circumstances at the time, not to mention the Beastmen mini-bosses who had betrayed Zhou Tian, the Deities certainly lacked the power to make those recently promoted mini-bosses betray Zhou Tian then.

Thus, since Zhou Tian had already begun to steadily control the power of the Beastman Tribe, naturally, there was absolutely no chance of winning a fight against Zhou Tian within Beastman Territory.

"Retreat!"

These Deities were not inexperienced fighters battling for the first time. Knowing that under the current circumstances capturing Zhou Tian was impossible, they naturally lost their will to continue the fight.

Thus, at the command of the leading Deity, whether it was the Deities, NPCs, or Monsters, previously besieging Zhou Tian, in an instant they chose to retreat.

At this point, if they did not retreat, they would lose the chance to do so. Given their relationship with each other, if they couldn’t withdraw in time, allowing Zhou Tian to seize the opportunity, the Deities knew Zhou Tian would not let them live peacefully. Hence, since there were no odds of winning, the Deities’ reaction to the current situation was not at all surprising.

However, given the circumstances at the time, it was not surprising that the Deities chose to retreat. It can be said that seeing the unfavorable situation and immediately retreating was entirely the right response by the Deities. But in making that decision, they absolutely condemned those Beastman mini-bosses to a dreadful fate.

Why did those Beastmen under Zhou Tian decide to betray him?

Apart from Zhou Tian’s behavior causing dissatisfaction among them, the instigation by the Deities undoubtedly played a significant role. It was because of the Deities’ agitations that Zhou Tian’s Beastmen developed a rebellious heart, and after the Deities demonstrated their formidable combat power, Zhou Tian’s Beastmen believed that their plan had a great chance of succeeding, leading them to choose to betray Zhou Tian at that time. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

But now, as those Beastman mini-bosses had betrayed Zhou Tian following the Deities’ plan, the eventual progression of events turned out entirely different from what the Deities had described.

According to the Deities, Zhou Tian would have no resistance against their plan, and with so much power assembled against him, even if his own strength was significant, he presumably wouldn’t have had an opportunity to turn the tables under the circumstances where his power was undermined.

In reality, no matter how you looked at it, the Deities’ plan at the time was feasible, even the Beastmen had endorsed it, which is why they decided to betray Zhou Tian then. However, although they were somewhat prepared, they did not fully understand Zhou Tian. Thus, when executing their plan against him, they completely failed to anticipate the complications that would arise in confronting Zhou Tian according to their strategy.
