Chapter 2752: Chapter 862: Deception
It was evident that those angels wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen, so even after listening to Zhou Tian’s words, although those angels were indeed tempted at that moment, it was unlikely Zhou Tian could enter the Abyss World without proving his identity first.
Only after Zhou Tian proved his identity would there be a need to proceed with the following matters; otherwise, if what Zhou Tian said couldn’t be verified as true, it was doubtful that the angels would agree to follow his lead into the abyss.
Thus, judging from the situation at the time, Zhou Tian had no choice but to prove his identity. However, given Zhou Tian’s circumstances at the time, proving his identity wasn’t trivial.
No matter how Zhou Tian explained or what evidence he presented, after witnessing his performance, the angels would at most remain skeptical. If Zhou Tian truly wanted those angels to obey, he had only one tactic to achieve his goal.
Talk through power!
No matter if Zhou Tian was the Time God King or not, as long as he could present the power to threaten the Light God King, those angels would certainly view him as a beacon of hope for counterattacking. Consequently, Zhou Tian’s relationship with those angels would naturally improve.
Given the circumstances and after proving his strength, if Zhou Tian could offer the angels hope to counterattack the Light God King, it was uncertain whether he just wanted to bring them into the Abyss World; perhaps he even hoped they would become his thugs in the future.
Yet the current problem was that, although conquering those angels did not seem difficult for Zhou Tian at the time, getting them to genuinely trust him was not easy.
If it were before, achieving his goal would be no challenge at all, because Zhou Tian was indeed the Time God King, and his genuine strength was unquestionable, making it easy to prove his identity.
However, the current issue was that due to a moment of negligence in a prior conflict, Zhou Tian had unfortunately been sealed up by his adversary. Thus, even if he were truly the Time God King, he couldn’t demonstrate his power in such a sealed state.
At this time, Zhou Tian’s words had the intention of deceiving those angels because he believed they weren’t well-versed in the Divine Realm, and even if they trusted he was the Time God King, without the means to aid them against the Light God King, gaining their compliance wasn’t feasible.
Thus, while proving his identity as the Time God King was easy, concealing the truth from those angels simultaneously was rather challenging.
Yet given the circumstances at the time, since things had reached this stage, even if the task was highly difficult, Zhou Tian couldn’t back down.
Therefore, in that situation, Zhou Tian decisively took action.
One word, deception!
Given the situation at the time, showcasing the ’muscles’ that the angels wanted to see was virtually impossible because Zhou Tian currently lacked the ability to release his true self. Moreover, if he could reveal his true self, countless living beings could ally with him, so although these angels held value, there was no pressing need to expend great effort on them.
Therefore, without the power to conquer those angels and achieve his goals through deceit, Zhou Tian couldn’t easily produce the desired effect.
Although his tactics weren’t entirely legitimate, given his circumstances, Zhou Tian couldn’t afford to concern himself with such details. Hence, as he conceived the plan, he quickly initiated action.
"I have a mortal enemy in the Divine Realm, and due to his power, I can’t escape at the moment. But I can guarantee you, if you enter the Abyss World, I can grant you greater power than you have now, and even if you desire revenge against the Light God King, I will not intervene."
Since proving Divine King-level strength was no longer feasible, Zhou Tian could only use power as bait to lure the angels into the abyss. He believed that after entering the Abyss World, even if they subsequently discovered issues, the angels wouldn’t likely be able to resist Zhou Tian’s dominance.
In fact, after Zhou Tian spoke those words, the angels really were tempted at that moment. After all, the angels desired defecting to another Divine King, but due to other Divine Kings prohibiting them from opposing the Light God King, they couldn’t reach an agreement. In this regard, Zhou Tian’s offer naturally held great allure.
