Chapter 2759: Chapter 864: Disappointment
The concept of the strong ruling over the weak is universal in any world, and Paradise is no exception.
Thus, if the Light God King were not so forceful in his methods upon arriving in Paradise, although the angels under his rule might not be as useful now, over time it’s likely there wouldn’t be as many willing to resist him.
At that time, the primary reason many angels insisted on opposing the Light God King was simply because they refused to lose their sense of self!
Allowing the Light God King to remake them would mean they no longer have to live in hiding. But once modified by the Light God King, those angels would become his puppets. Surely, nine out of ten angels would rather die than become puppets of the Light God King. It was because his methods were intolerable to almost all angels that even knowing they couldn’t be his opponents, so many continued to persist in resisting him.
Those angels originally persisted in resisting the Light God King simply for self-preservation. If they weren’t afraid of being caught by the Light God King upon escaping, they wouldn’t wait to negotiate terms with those targeting them, and many angels would have left right away.
In that situation, the conditions Zhou Tian offered might not have been the best, but his ability was certainly the strongest. Thus, not only to enhance their own strength but also to avoid being treated as Cannon Fodder or bargaining chips in the future, many angels chose to leave with Zhou Tian.
As a result, regardless of what the angel leaders originally thought, when almost all angels below had that idea, they couldn’t and wouldn’t stop them from leaving.
Otherwise, given the situation at the time, if those angels dared to act in such a way, it would inevitably spark a War. Whether they could ultimately win or not, even if victorious, they would not have a favorable end in that situation.
Thus, no matter how they thought about it, those angels wouldn’t hinder their companions from leaving. And although the departure of their companions weakens their strength significantly, what does that matter?
The increase or decrease in strength was no longer important to those angels because, given the power of the Light God King, whether their strength increased or decreased, they still couldn’t be his Opponent. Once found by the Light God King, they would be exterminated. In that circumstance, the decrease in their numbers might be a Method for enhancing their survival Ability.
When some angels left with Zhou Tian, it represented a new branch for the Angel Race. Even if those resisting the Light God King were ultimately exterminated, as long as the angels brought away by Zhou Tian existed, their race wouldn’t face extinction.
Considering all these factors, after Zhou Tian informed the angels of his Decision, within that Mountain Cave where they hid for months, nearly ten thousand angels were sent to him.
When those angels appeared, Zhou Tian’s face showed a trace of disappointment.
To be honest, being able to draw nearly ten thousand angels into the Abyss was already a massive Gain for Zhou Tian. Since angels were inherently powerful, with their Help, developing the Abyss World would become much easier for Zhou Tian. If everything progressed smoothly in his subsequent Action, rapidly evolving the Abyss World wouldn’t be out of the question.
Even though now only nearly ten thousand angels entered the Abyss, under Zhou Tian’s strategic alliance, without natural enemies, those angels might increase to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands within a few years in the Abyss World.
However, despite Zhou Tian seemingly achieving his purpose from various aspects, he still felt somewhat disappointed.
It seemed like attracting nearly ten thousand angels into the Abyss was already a decent outcome, but what was the actual number of angels in Paradise?
It must be no less than billions!
Compared to the countless angels in Paradise, the number Zhou Tian managed to take away, though seemingly substantial, was relatively minuscule. Given the total number of angels in Paradise, his disappointment for not bringing more is quite normal.
