Chapter 2960 - 960: Exploiting the Enemy’s Weaknesses

In reality, although Zhou Tian seemed to have no chance against such a formidable enemy at the time, the fact was that his enemy, despite being strong, also had obvious weaknesses. In such a situation, if Zhou Tian had chosen to directly fight head-to-head, he would have surely been doomed. However, if Zhou Tian was not prepared to engage in a hard fight and instead made reasonable use of his own advantages, he might not be entirely without hope.First, there was the Heaven Consciousness, which posed the greatest threat to Zhou Tian. If Zhou Tian were to ultimately fall, it would most likely be at the hands of the Heaven Consciousness. But aware of the situation at the time, Zhou Tian realized that although the Heaven Consciousness was the greatest threat, it was best not to engage in a hard fight with it if he could handle other enemies instead.

In essence, despite Heaven Consciousness being immensely powerful, Zhou Tian could avoid a direct confrontation due to its low intelligence. By doing so, he could neutralize the threat of the Heaven Consciousness without a fight.

As for the Light God King, although Zhou Tian posed a threat to him by taking advantage of his weakened state, the injuries on the Light God King were real. Given the situation then, as long as Zhou Tian utilized the fact that the Light God King had sustained serious injury, he might have opportunities to turn the tables.

Having formed a plan in his mind, Zhou Tian naturally proceeded to take action accordingly.

"Remember this, I will be back!"

Leaving those words, Zhou Tian contacted the Abyssal Consciousness and forcibly opened a spatial passage back to the Abyss World without Heaven Consciousness’s approval. Faced with the invasion by the Abyssal Consciousness, the Heaven Consciousness reacted as expected.

When Zhou Tian expressed his intention to leave again, the Heaven Consciousness slightly relaxed its grip on him. For whatever reason, as soon as the Abyssal Consciousness acted again, the Heaven Consciousness, in its fury, refocused its attention on the Abyssal Consciousness.

As with the previous situation, no matter how formidable the Heaven Consciousness was, or what advantages it possessed, Zhou Tian could easily handle it by exploiting its weaknesses.

In fact, Zhou Tian was using the weaknesses of the Heaven Consciousness to create favorable battle conditions for himself. In this light, it seemed Zhou Tian had indeed succeeded in achieving his goal.

Regardless of what Heaven Consciousness intended to do, the moment it felt threatened, it immediately decided to expel the Abyssal Consciousness before handling anything else, even if the threat from the Abyssal Consciousness wasn’t substantial.

Since Heaven Consciousness made that decision, Zhou Tian successfully neutralized much of its power over him. With the suppression from Heaven Consciousness lifted, Zhou Tian’s strength inevitably recovered.

In the first moment of his recovery, Zhou Tian took action.

Understandably, Zhou Tian couldn’t divert Heaven Consciousness for long. Once the Abyssal Consciousness was repelled, Heaven Consciousness would undoubtedly target Zhou Tian again.

Because of the previous action, Zhou Tian knew that without paying a huge price, the Abyssal Consciousness’s action couldn’t buy him much time—maybe a minute, maybe only a few seconds. Once his crisis was resolved, Heaven Consciousness would likely turn its focus back on him.

Without a doubt, if Zhou Tian couldn’t escape before Heaven Consciousness refocused on him, his situation would likely return to its original state.

Zhou Tian was unwilling for that to happen, so he had to eliminate the threat from the Light God King during the time Heaven Consciousness was diverted.

Although Zhou Tian’s plan seemed fine, the likelihood of failure was high when it came to execution. The main reason was that Zhou Tian had very limited time, and with the power of the Light God King at the King Level, even if he couldn’t defeat Zhou Tian, he could easily hold his own for a period.

In Zhou Tian’s situation, if the Light God King managed to hold out for a while, Zhou Tian would inevitably be in trouble. After Heaven Consciousness refocused on him, aside from enduring serious injuries to the Abyssal Consciousness, Zhou Tian saw no other means of escape.

Without real necessity, Zhou Tian didn’t want the Abyssal Consciousness to bear such damage. Given that the Abyssal Consciousness was the foundation of the Abyss World, if it were severely injured, recovery might be impossible. As Zhou Tian’s foundation for future development, significant setbacks for the Abyss World would result in a major loss for him.

On the surface, escaping easily seemed difficult for Zhou Tian. Yet, despite seemingly low winning odds, Zhou Tian acted with confidence, indicative of his belief in achieving his goal.

Zhou Tian was exploiting his enemy’s weakness.

Despite surface appearances, defeating the Light God King quickly seemed impossible. But the Light God King wasn’t weak; without a fortuitous encounter, Zhou Tian might not have even been a match for him. Although currently in a slightly favorable position, underestimating the Light God King would surely lead to loss in the future.

Ordinarily, Zhou Tian understood that overcoming the Light God King quickly was extremely difficult. However, the issue at hand wasn’t ordinary. Under the given circumstances, defeating the Light God King swiftly wasn’t out of the question.

Previously, Zhou Tian had severely injured the Light God King. If Zhou Tian’s power hadn’t been suppressed by Heaven Consciousness, even if the Light God King intended to engage in full combat, he would have decided to let Zhou Tian go.

The relationship they had was evident, and despite the grudge, the decision to let Zhou Tian go showed the dire condition of the Light God King. Under the circumstances, without Heaven Consciousness as the main threat, relying solely on the Light God King’s power to capture Zhou Tian was unrealistic from the start.
