Chapter 3010: 985: Counterattack (Part 2)

No matter what, the strength of the Divine Realm at that time was there. Although no one anticipated Zhou Tian’s action back then, and thus did not take corresponding precautions, resulting in Zhou Tian successfully breaking into the Divine Realm. But regardless of what kind of battle results Zhou Tian achieved at that time, the strength gap between him and the Divine Realm would not be affected in any way at that moment. The strength of the Divine Realm, after all, was there. Even if at this moment Zhou Tian seemed to have successfully broken into the Divine Realm internally, and along with that order he gave at the time, the Abyssal creatures under his command indeed appeared to have caused considerable damage to the Divine Realm, in reality, the impact Zhou Tian achieved back then was not substantial on the Divine Realm for the time being.

And don’t look at the fact that the divine consciousness of the Divine Realm did not have the ability to influence those Divine Kings. That situation occurred because the strength of that group of Divine Kings was powerful, plus their strong self-consciousness, so in such a situation at that time, naturally, the influence of the divine consciousness of the Divine Realm on that group of Divine Kings was not very significant.

But back then, those who could resist the command of the divine consciousness were that group of Divine Kings. If it were other deities with not strong capabilities, then generally speaking, the divine consciousness would not have any instructions for them. However, once the Heavenly God’s consciousness truly issued any attack orders, it is estimated that all the deities affected by its orders would inevitably become its chess pieces manipulated at will. Solely based on this ability, the combat power represented by the divine consciousness of the Divine Realm was already immensely powerful.

The Human Sea Tactic is not omnipotent; when Zhou Tian and their level of strength is reached, generally, using the Human Sea Tactic to defeat them is simply a dream. In fact, when beings like Zhou Tian of their level of strength engage in combat, they mostly rely on their own strength. Even if they have some strong troops in hand, they often only rely on those powers for support, rarely using them in direct combat.

However, for beings of Zhou Tian’s caliber, perhaps the Human Sea Tactic indeed no longer poses a significant threat. But that is only relatively speaking. In fact, the general Human Sea Tactic may no longer be a threat to Zhou Tian and the others, but if the one deploying the tactic is the divine consciousness of the Divine Realm, even if Zhou Tian and their strengths are incredibly powerful, it’s impossible to ignore the threat of such an action at that time.

After all, no matter what, the divine consciousness of the Divine Realm could mobilize most of its power back then, and given the state of the Divine Realm, it’s estimated that a single thought from the divine consciousness could control millions of deities to attack Zhou Tian and his forces. And when the number reaches a certain extent, even if the attack seems harmless, it can still be deadly.

Undoubtedly, the actions of the divine consciousness of the Divine Realm at that time already posed a sufficient threat to Zhou Tian and his Abyssal creatures. If those deities were indeed to surround them, even with Zhou Tian’s strength at that time, he might not remain unharmed. Let alone the fact that the strength of those Abyssal creatures under Zhou Tian was far less than his. So, if they were to be defeated at that time, Zhou Tian knew that seemingly, from every aspect, things wouldn’t end well.

However, although Zhou Tian was very clear at that time that with the divine consciousness’s ability, its counterattack already had the capacity to threaten his safety. Even so, merely due to a plan Zhou Tian had at the time, he didn’t have any intention of retreating, even though he already felt the threat coming from the divine consciousness of the Divine Realm.

At this point, Zhou Tian intended to provoke a response from the divine consciousness. No matter what difficulties he might face, that situation was still within Zhou Tian’s plan. As long as there were no accidents, if Zhou Tian’s plan continued, there was a possibility it could help him achieve his goal.

Even though if a large number of deities were to encircle them, neither Zhou Tian nor his Abyssal creatures were confident they could protect themselves then. Once they were defeated in such a situation, there would be no question that neither Zhou Tian nor the Abyssal creatures could hope to survive.

But although the threat from that group of deities was significant, one thing that must be confirmed was, although at that time, that group’s threat to Zhou Tian was massive, Zhou Tian and the others weren’t weaklings either. It was almost certain that even if Zhou Tian and his forces faced total annihilation upon defeat, it would still be extremely challenging for that group of deities to defeat Zhou Tian and his forces.

Even when there was a possibility Zhou Tian might face defeat, that group faced Zhou Tian and his army with a similar possibility of defeat. No matter how slim the hope of Zhou Tian’s victory might be, it still couldn’t change the fact that there was a chance for Zhou Tian to win.

Of course, the odds of Zhou Tian achieving victory were certainly low. After all, they were up against the divine consciousness, which represented the Divine Realm. With the strength of the Divine Realm, as long as it was willing, it could easily use the internal deities to engulf Zhou Tian and his troops. And facing such a powerful enemy, Zhou Tian’s current power achieving victory would indeed be strange.

But no matter how small the hope for victory might be for Zhou Tian and his forces, it couldn’t change one thing: if Zhou Tian and his forces could win, it would spell big trouble for the Divine Realm.

Although Zhou Tian was merely leading his Abyssal creatures in this military engagement, Zhou Tian’s presence, like the divine consciousness, represented the Abyss World whenever divine consciousness represented the Divine Realm.

So, if Zhou Tian were to achieve victory in the subsequent battle, the underlying implication would be akin to the Abyss World triumphing over the Divine Realm.

In the clash of worlds, if one occupies another, it generally means the defeated side will be annexed by the victorious side. Even if the Abyss World couldn’t annex the Divine Realm in one fell swoop given its strength, a single defeat for the Divine Realm would inevitably lead to serious losses.

Undoubtedly, even if it was just a possibility, the divine consciousness would definitely strive to prevent that scenario from emerging. Hence, given the circumstances, when Zhou Tian demonstrated his threat to the Divine Realm, it’s a given that the divine consciousness would be anxious to react.

If the common deities in the world confrontation couldn’t offer aid, it’s predicted that the divine consciousness would only be able to mobilize those powerful beings of the Divine Realm. Even in unfavorable conditions, with the Divine Realm’s foundation, gathering those formidable deities should ensure the enemies have no winning odds.

Zhou Tian himself admitted that if the divine consciousness did indeed proceed in that manner, he wouldn’t have a shred of winning odds. Yet, given the situation at the time, Zhou Tian didn’t actually need any winning odds; based on his plan, once the divine consciousness took such actions, Zhou Tian could essentially say he’s achieved his objective.
