Chapter 2592: Chapter 822_2
On the contrary, if Zhou Tian had held back at that moment, although he could have withstood the attack of the Space God King originally, he would certainly not have the ability to resist the Space God King.
However, precisely because Zhou Tian appeared to be completely unmatched by the Space God King at the time, after seeing the battle between Zhou Tian and the Space God King, those Divine Kings naturally wouldn’t worry about any changes occurring in the course of the battle.
Thus, believing Zhou Tian was not the opponent of the Space God King and that he would inevitably be killed soon, it became evident on whom those Divine Kings would focus their attention.
In fact, under Zhou Tian’s deliberate actions, he indeed achieved his purpose.
Because Zhou Tian held back, the group of Divine Kings unaware of his plans wouldn’t regard him as a threat. Without other distractions, even though Zhou Tian had become the Time God King, the Divine Kings felt he was just like an autumn locust, unlikely to last much longer.
Conversely, if Zhou Tian were killed, those Divine Kings would need to guard against the Space God King. Since the God King Artifact is the target of all the Divine Kings, if the Space God King ultimately killed Zhou Tian and easily snatched the God King Artifact, it wouldn’t be good for the Divine Kings.
The reason they still have the opportunity to snatch the God King Artifact is because Zhou Tian has just broken through to become a Divine King and cannot fully exhibit his strength. Though he can resist a portion of their members, he can hardly protect himself, thus unable to repel them.
Another and most important reason is that before Zhou Tian’s breakthrough, he had established deadly enemies with most of the Divine Kings. In such circumstances where peaceful coexistence is impossible, they wouldn’t be content without killing Zhou Tian. This is why the Divine Kings want to continue dealing with Zhou Tian.
Under those circumstances, the possibility of snatching the God King Artifact is higher if it’s in Zhou Tian’s hands, but if it falls into the hands of the Space God King, they would have no chance.
The Space God King, unlike Zhou Tian who just became a Divine King, possesses power even without the aid of the God King Artifact. Among the Divine Kings, he is a top-tier strongman with spatial abilities.
And if he were to obtain a God King Artifact, even if its full potential couldn’t be utilized, the Space God King would be hard to contend with. At least in single combat, few Divine Kings in the Divine Realm would be his match.
Even if in Zhou Tian’s position, the Space God King wouldn’t be the opponent of the Divine Kings, he would still manage to protect himself.
Thus, those Divine Kings must keep a close watch on the Space God King. Because if they are careless for a moment and let the Space God King seize the God King Artifact during their negligence, they would completely lose the opportunity to snatch it.
In such a situation at that time, Zhou Tian was indeed still the owner of the God King Artifact. Yet under his deliberate deployment, unknowingly, the Divine Kings began to view the Space God King as an enemy. Given the circumstances, although they didn’t stop his attack on Zhou Tian, they seemingly prepared to take action intentionally or unintentionally.
If no accident occurs, as soon as Zhou Tian shows signs of defeat or is killed by the Space God King, the Divine Kings watching would likely make a move against him. Given the strength of the Divine Kings, if a massive battle unfolds, no one can predict what the outcome would be.
Feeling the reactions of the Divine Kings, the Space God King was still inevitably affected, despite his previous stance.
Did the Space God King truly not want the God King Artifact?
Clearly, that was impossible. If there’s a chance to obtain the God King Artifact, even with little hope, the Space God King would still try.
Prior to this, to create a better opportunity to snatch the God King Artifact, despite his deep hatred for Zhou Tian, the Space God King secretly assisted Zhou Tian. If not for his aid, Zhou Tian might not have become a Divine King and would have been killed by the Divine Kings earlier.
Currently, although Zhou Tian’s potential made the Space God King wary, afraid of Zhou Tian’s future revenge, the Space God King thought of killing Zhou Tian. Despite repeatedly thinking even of giving up the Artifact to kill Zhou Tian, it didn’t mean he was entirely letting go of the desire for the God King Artifact.
Such thoughts arose only because the Space God King’s fear of Zhou Tian suppressed his greed for the God King Artifact. For survival, he had to abandon the idea of snatching the Artifact at that time.
